MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 22 Game (one more)

  Chapter 22 Game of Chess (one update)

  Su Rong took Yuewan, Zhou Gu took Ziye, and the group of four left the prefect's mansion by car.

  In the carriage, Su Rong saw that Zhou Gu seemed uncomfortable no matter how much he was sitting, and asked him, "Are you usually used to riding a horse?"

   Zhou Gu nodded.

   "The sun outside is too strong. It's not suitable for riding a horse in the middle of the day. You can take a car to avoid the heat. Just bear with it. It's not too far away, and you can get there in an hour." Su Rong actually wants to ride a horse. Every time she leaves the city, she sneaks out of the city gate and asks someone to lead her a horse. But she can't just get in touch with Zhou Gu and the mask shatters. She can only endure the slow carriage.

   "Is it that far?" Zhou Gu frowned, it was an hour's journey, and staying in the carriage was uncomfortable enough that he almost regretted coming out with her.

   "It's okay, but the carriage is a bit slower." Su Rong took out the chess box, "How about we play chess?"

  Zhou Gu nodded, "Alright."

  So, Su Rong laid out the chessboard and asked him, "Which piece do you choose?"

   "Arbitrarily."

  Su Rong chose the sunspots by himself, and dropped one first.

  Zhou Gu took the white piece, and then dropped a piece.

  Zhou Gu was very careless at first, thinking that he might as well play with her to pass the time when he was free and bored, but when the chess game was halfway through, he couldn't help sitting up straight, surprised in his heart, and looked up at Su Rong.

  Su Rong's face was calm, and he didn't raise his head. He didn't seem to notice his scrutiny. He played chess very intently.

  Zhou Gu's eyes fell from her face to her hand. It was obviously a beautiful face, but it was also obviously unbearable. How could such a soft little girl be so fierce and murderous when she played chess? If you don't get serious with her, won't you lose this round?

   Zhou Gu naturally didn't want to lose to a little girl, so in the second half of the round, he was very serious.

  But after he got serious, he found that he was not sure of winning, and he was even more astonished, especially when a game of chess was almost over, and he couldn't figure out Su Rong's style of chess.

  After dropping the last ball, Su Rong smiled, "Zhou Gu, you lost!"

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  Zi Ye moved her head closer, with a look of shock on her face, "My son actually lost?"

  Yuewan clapped her hands, "Yes, yes, my lady won!"

   Zhou Gu stared at the chessboard. He worked hard in the second half of the game and saved it, but he also seriously lost. He pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the crescent moon.

  Yue Wan put down his hand immediately, not daring to be happy.

  Zhou Gu turned his head and looked at Su Rong.

  Su Rong tilted her head and looked at him, "Aren't you unhappy?" Seeing that he didn't speak, she immediately said innocently: "It was you who didn't take me seriously at first, and didn't take me seriously. Don't blame me."

  Zhou Gu said "hmm", "I don't blame you, come again?"

  Su Rong nodded, "Okay."

   So, the two came again.

   In this round, Zhou Gu was naturally serious from the beginning. He kept his eyes on Su Rong every step of the way, and calculated and speculated on her next move. However, Su Rong's round was completely different from the previous round. It seemed that he was not serious, and he made random moves without any murderous intentions.

  Zhou Gu reminded her, "I'm not angry, you should be serious and play hard."

   "I'm serious." Su Rong smiled playfully at him, "If you lose this round, don't be angry, okay?"

   "I won't lose again."

   Su Rong thought that was not necessarily the case.

   This game of chess took a while, but in the end, Su Rong won by one piece.

  Zi Ye's jaw dropped in shock, "My lord, you lost again?"

  Yue Wan clapped her hands again, "Miss, you are so amazing, you won again!"

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  He stretched out his hand to pinch the center of his eyebrows, looked up at Su Rong, and suddenly laughed angrily, "Very proud?"

  Su Rong curled the corners of his mouth, his expression clearly proud, "It's not in vain for me to study chess records since I was a child."

  Yue Wan wanted to say, "Miss, why have you studied chess records since you were young? You just played two games with yourself when you were bored. I have never seen you study chess records." But she is not really stupid, so she will not say this, she is afraid that if she speaks out, Young Master Zhou will feel even more embarrassing.

   "Although my chess is not very good, but it has always been good. I learned from Master Qin of the Eastern Palace." Zhou Gu held the chess piece and twirled it with his fingertips, "You said you studied chess records since childhood? What chess records?"

  Su Rong sighed, "The nameless chess records have been burned."

  Zhou Gu said "Oh?"

  Yuewan immediately said beside him: "My young master, when my young lady was seven years old, she accidentally knocked over the candlestick and burned a yard down. It was night, and the wind was strong, so I couldn't put out the fire. Everything was burned to ashes. So we ran out."

  Zhou Gu was startled, "Then you two are lucky."

  Yue Wan nodded again and again, "I was so scared that I cried, my legs were weak, and it was the young lady who dragged me to run. As soon as we ran out of the courtyard, the beams collapsed, scaring me to death."

   "I really don't see it, you have slender arms and legs, and you can drag someone to run." Zhou Gu thought it was dangerous.

  Yue Wan wanted to say, "My young lady has great strength." But she felt that she should not say this, because it would expose the young lady. The eldest lady said that men like women who are as gentle as water, so she just said: "At a critical moment, young ladies are much more useful than slaves."

  Su Rong smiled, "Human potential is unlimited."

  Zhou Gu nodded sincerely.

  Su Rong asked: "Are you still playing?"

   "I can't beat you anymore, I can't beat you anyway." Zhou Gu felt that if he lost the next two rounds again and again, and then played the third round, it would be too ugly to lose three rounds in a row. Enough is enough!

  Su Rong thought that there is no such thing as a big man getting annoyed when he loses to a woman, so he admits defeat calmly, which is also very good.

  She put away the chessboard and asked Yue Wan, "Where are you?"

   "There are still five miles."

  Su Rong nodded and asked Zhou Gu, "How about swimming in the river today? Tomorrow morning, we will ride out on horseback and then climb Phoenix Mountain. There is not enough time to go up the mountain today."

  Zhou Gu looked at her, "Can you ride a horse?"

  Su Rong nodded, "I learned from my elder brother."

  Zhou Gu's eyes fell on her, thinking of her soft body, riding on a horse, the horse ran, wouldn't it fly her? But if he can skip the car tomorrow, he still doesn't want to take the car, so he nodded, "Success!"

   Before I knew it, I didn't realize that Su Rong had made a reservation for tomorrow's play.

  The carriage came to the Maple Leaf River. Although it was not yet the season of red maple leaves, many people gathered in the Maple Leaf River.

  Su Rong and the others got out of the carriage, because both of them were good-looking, and the maid and the guard were also cute and handsome, which immediately attracted people's attention.

   Among them, a group of people were about to board the boat. They glanced over here and stopped in unison.

   Since you are such a cute reminder, then, let’s add an update today~
