Chapter 301 Playing Games

Halfway through the meal, someone walked in without even knocking on the door.

"Old Qiu, I heard that you retired early today. Are you finally at retirement age due to your old age and frailty?"

Song Yan walked into the living room carrying a bottle of wine and was stared at by everyone at the table.

"...I think I came at the wrong time," Song Yan said awkwardly, "Then I'll come to drink with you another day."

Qiu Ming called him, "Now that you are here, let's sit down and eat together."

Jiang Zixuan glanced at Jin Mohan and said, "Please stay, Professor Song Yan. We will leave the base tomorrow, so we can chat more tonight."

Unable to resist the father and daughter's cordial invitation, Song Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.

He obviously came to Qiu Ming to drink away his sorrows, but with Jin Mohan beside him, there were many things he couldn't say.

Jin Mohan was not so restrained and chatted with him about this and that with great interest.

He might be more curious than indifferent about Song Yan, and he also wanted to know what kind of person this man who once had a crush on his mother was.

It was a pleasant meal. Although the atmosphere was a little tense, everyone had endless topics to talk about.

After dinner, Jingchen and Lengmo were sent to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Qiu Ming and Song Yan took turns playing chess with Jin Mohan, while Zhou Xiaolai continued to play games sitting on the floor.

Qiu Liren had been busy all day. After taking a shower and changing into casual clothes, he felt much fresher and cleaner than during the day.

Jiang Zixuan noticed that his hair was cut shorter.

"Brother, did you cut your hair?"

Qiu Liren touched his head, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Yes, my hair is too long, it always looks a bit decadent."

The new image is very important. We can’t be like before and pay no attention to our appearance.

Jiang Zixuan did not expose his little thoughts and asked, "Aren't you going to the forest to investigate the Zombie King? When are you leaving?"

"Not now. There are still many things to deal with. I can only withdraw after the task is handed over." Qiu Liren looked at the dark night sky and suddenly smiled.

Jiang Zixuan also looked out the window and was sincerely happy for him.

In any case, he had the idea of living a good life.

He was like a dead pool that was finally filled with clear living water. He came alive and looked radiant, as if ready to welcome a new beginning.

In any case, everyone was relieved that Qiu Liren was able to cheer up.

Jiang Zixuan walked to the window and saw Jin Mohan playing chess with two elders.

Occasionally, he would play chess with Jiang Zixuan in the space, and ruthlessly defeat her without leaving a single piece of armor. Then, he was kicked out of the space by his angry wife and was ordered not to go to bed for three days.

From then on, Mr. Jin learned to rack his brains to release the sea.

But when playing chess with his elders, he had no such concerns at all.

Jiang Zixuan observed the chess game and said in surprise, "Teacher Song, you are really amazing. How could you fight with Mo Han to this extent?"

Song Yan smiled elegantly, "Girl, you are praising me on the surface, but in fact you are praising your husband, right?"

Qiu Ming chuckled and said, "Of course my daughter protects her husband, and of course, I have to protect my son-in-law as well."

Song Yan shook his head, pointed at the father and daughter, and said softly, "A pair of scoundrels."

Jin Mohan made a move and said jokingly, "If you don't take it seriously, Teacher Song will lose."

"I won't lose to you. Even though I'm a scientific researcher, I almost became a professional Go player."

"I hope you're not bragging and making me feel less happy about playing chess."

Jiang Zixuan was watching from the side and saw a very gentle and focused look on Jin Mohan's face.

In the first half of his life, he probably never played any games with Jin Zhenhua in a calm manner, and he was not lucky enough to receive even a little bit of love and care from that beast.

Jiang Zixuan understood that he was now enjoying the atmosphere of playing chess with Song Yan.

She didn't want to disturb the father and son, so she gently pushed Qiu Ming into the living room.

"Commander-in-chief, let's go watch Lai Lai play games."

"Okay, okay, baby, no matter what game you want to play, daddy will play with you." Qiu Ming was smiling happily, and he wished he could immediately conjure up 108 game consoles and play with Jiang Zixuan until the sun went down.

The only thing at home is the stand-alone game console that Qiu Liren played when he was a child, and they are all old collector's editions. Whether you can use them depends entirely on fate.

After trying more than a dozen games, Qiu Ming finally found a game that was playable with sweat on his forehead. He plugged in the controller and played crazy with Jiang Zixuan.

Jiang Zixuan doesn’t play games very often, she just plays with Mingming occasionally.

However, being able to play games with Qiu Ming is also a good experience.

Not long after, Qiu Liren also joined the battle and attracted Leng Mo and Jing Chen over.

Zhou Xiaolai suggested a competition. She and Leng Mo were in a group, Jiang Zixuan and Qiu Liren were in a group, and Qiu Ming was cheering them on.

Leng Mo is basically a gaming idiot who doesn't even know how to use the controller. Jiang Zixuan's level is about the same as his, but he has an even more retarded teammate, the gaming black hole - Qiu Liren.

So, the noobs started to fight each other under Zhou Xiaolai's instructions, and Qiu Ming shouted 666 out of courtesy.

They were all having a great time, except Jingchen, who was swatting flies in loneliness.

Another day without human rights.

Everyone played around until two in the morning, and all the lights in the base were turned off.

Qiu Ming's residence is considered a semi-contact point, and the electricity is always supplied and will not be extinguished.

Putting down the game controller, Qiu Liren said with a sense of satisfaction, "I haven't been so relaxed in a long time."

Jiang Zixuan rubbed her sore shoulders and said, "I'm so tired."

Is it true that playing games is so energy-consuming?

Zhou Xiaolai fell asleep the moment he put down the handle, and his head involuntarily rested on Lengmo's shoulder, making Lengmo's whole body stiff.

The two people playing chess by the window were still fighting fiercely. After slapping a fly, Jingchen wanted to go over to join in the fun, but was killed by Jiang Zixuan with a glare.

Leng Mo picked up Zhou Xiaolai and asked Qiu Liren, "Where is the empty bed?"

"I'll take you there." Qiu Liren stood up and took Lengmo upstairs.

Qiu Ming also called Jiang Zixuan and asked her to accompany him to the study.

"You will be going back tomorrow. Daddy has prepared a lot of specialties for you and your nephews. I hope you like them."

Qiu Ming dragged out several large bags from under the cabinet, and like a primary school student who wanted to show off, he proudly asked Jiang Zixuan for praise.

"Look, these are the mushrooms that dad picked from the forest. They are most delicious when they are dried and stewed into soup." He grabbed a handful of dried mushrooms, allowing Jiang Zixuan to smell the fragrance of the mushrooms.

"This is the Cordyceps sinensis that someone gave to Dad before the end of the world. Although you may not like it, Dad wanted to give it to you. Don't worry, Dad has kept it very well, and there is absolutely no quality problem."

"And these are seafood such as abalone, fish maw and shark fin. Take them back and cook them for your nephews. They are very nutritious. After eating them, they will definitely grow taller than your husband."

Jiang Zixuan laughed, "Forget about Mingming, but if Miaomiao grew that tall, wouldn't it be weird?"

"Hahaha, baby Miaomiao will become more and more beautiful after eating these nutritious seafood. She will be as beautiful as your mother."

Qiu Ming wrapped all the gifts with great enthusiasm, making Jiang Zixuan feel as if she was a loving father packing luggage for his daughter who was about to go on a long journey.
