The sunlight shines through the window lattice, scattering mottled patterns on the chessboard, adding a touch of warmth to this silent contest.
Jiang Ju and He Yifan sat opposite each other. He Yifan gently twisted the chess piece, his fingertips slightly white due to nervousness. Every time he moved the chess piece, it seemed as if he was weighing a thousand pounds.
Jiang Ju stared at the chessboard, his eyes showing both concentration and cunning. He tapped the table from time to time, as if silently calculating the gains and losses of each move in his mind.
At the moment of "Double Cannon Checkmate", the air seemed to freeze, and only the "pop" sound of chess pieces touching the chessboard could be heard. It was the most direct and sharpest tactical declaration, challenging the opponent's defense and psychological endurance.
When the "flying elephant crossing the river" move was made, it not only broke the conventional layout, but also broke the tranquility in the room. Their breathing involuntarily stopped, because this was a bold subversion of tradition that combined wisdom and courage.
As the game deepened, time seemed to stretch out, every second filled with calculation and counter-calculation. They might bow their heads in deep thought, brows furrowed, as if battling inner demons; or suddenly their eyes would light up, a subtle smile curling their lips, the joy of having found the key to victory.
On this small chessboard, there is not only a clash of strategies, but also an interweaving of emotions. Every move is a challenge to one's own limits and a reflection of respect for the opponent, weaving together this wonderful game that emphasizes both wisdom and psychology.
In this final confrontation, the winner was Jiang Ju.
"You're too impetuous."
Jiang Ju spoke calmly, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Playing chess is like a microcosm of life. The rise and fall of each chess piece is a note in the symphony of fate."
"The careful planning at the beginning of the game is like the plans and dreams of early life, requiring a down-to-earth approach and careful planning. The fierce battles in the middle game are like the ups and downs of life, testing courage and wisdom. Every decision can become a turning point."
"The review and reflection at the end is like looking back on the past in old age, summing up experiences and understanding the true meaning of life."
"In this small space, we learned sacrifice and perseverance, understood the dialectic of gain and loss, and experienced the life philosophies of 'one wrong step, another' and 'after dark, there's always a new world.' Playing chess is, in fact, an art form of savoring and understanding life."
After listening to his words, He Yifan felt less agitated.
"Boss, don't you have to work today?"
"Take a break today."
"Do you really want me to work?"
As he was speaking, Jiang Ju pinched He Yifan's chin hard with one hand.
"No..."
He Yifan was forced to meet the other person's gaze. This was the first time he had observed this face so closely. Jiang Ju's facial features gradually became clear in front of him, and every line looked so perfect.
Especially those eyes. Jiang Ju's eyes are a deep black, like the boundless night sky, mysterious and fascinating.
Those black eyes seemed to contain an endless universe, and every gaze seemed to be able to see into the abyss of people's hearts, but at the same time, they inadvertently revealed gentle starlight, which made people feel awe and surrounded by an inexplicable warmth.
In the light, his black eyes would sparkle with a subtle luster, like the brightest jet in the night sky, hard and full of charm.
He Yifan also had to admit in his heart that this face was indeed quite good-looking...
Why does this bastard have such a handsome face?!
"Let go of me first..."
He Yifan spoke with some discomfort.
Jiang Ju also released the hand that was pinching his neck.
Jiang Ju is a bastard, he never holds back when he strikes.
"What would you like for lunch?"
Jiang Ju asked.
Wait, what does that mean?
"You want to cook?"
He Yifan asked hurriedly.
The other party just said "hmm" softly.
Oh my god, is the sun rising from the west?! The big boss of the K organization is actually going to cook!
He Yifan was extremely shocked. He had been with Jiang Ju for two years and had never seen him cook a meal.
He either orders takeout or goes out to eat. This guy is not short of money at all and all he eats is high-end food.
So that’s how it is…
Jiang Ju stood in the spacious and bright kitchen. The afternoon sun slanted in through the window, giving the entire space a warm golden glow.
Next to the sink, the faucet gurgled with a pleasant sound. Jiang Ju, wearing a neat apron and holding a sharp fish knife, looked focused and determined.
The fish jumped happily in the tank, splashing little drops of water, which sparkled with crystal light under the light.
Jiang Jue, on the other hand, took a deep breath, as if performing a solemn ritual. With a swift and precise cut, he slashed the fish's gills, and blood gushed out instantly, blending with the clear water in the tank to create a faint red hue.
He Yifan who was watching from outside: …
He Yifan thought to himself: This is too cool. The fish that was originally jumping around became obedient after seeing Jiang Ju. Jiang Ju’s oppressive feeling is really strong.
The fish struggled violently, but Jiang Ju's technique was extremely skillful. He held the fish's head tightly and scraped off the scales with his fingers flexibly, and the fish's body gradually became smooth and delicate.
Then, he cut the fish's belly with a sharp knife, and the internal organs fell out. He carefully cleaned the fish's cavity, and every movement seemed so professional and powerful.
Throughout the whole process, there was no hesitation or reluctance on Jiang Ju's face, only respect for food and love for life.
