Grandpa Zhou looked at Rong Jing again, his face full of smiles, "Young man, do you know how to play Gomoku? Would you like to play a game with this old man?"
Before Rong Jing could reply, Old Master Su spoke first, "What's wrong, Old Zhou? Did you lose to me yesterday and now you want to regain face from my grandson-in-law?"
"How could I dare? Old Su, your chess skills are so good, I'm sure your grandson-in-law's are no less."
"Then Rong Jing will respectfully comply and play a few rounds with Grandpa Zhou."
"Sure, that's straightforward."
Afterwards, the group went to the big banyan tree.
There is a large, historic banyan tree in the town.
It is said to be 520 years old.
You could say this is a towering tree.
Countless branches hung down, and there was a large amount of tree hair.
The branches and leaves are lush and verdant.
Several fixed stone benches and chairs are placed under the banyan tree.
The image above shows a neatly arranged game of Gomoku (Five in a Row).
It's easy to imagine that the elderly people in the town often come here to play chess.
Grandpa Zhou and Rong Jing chose a chessboard table and sat down to begin their game.
Su Yinwan and her grandfather sat aside and watched the game.
During the game of chess, Grandpa Zhou would occasionally look up at Rong Jing.
The man pursed his lips, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
His slender fingers slowly picked up his black chess piece and placed it on the board.
......
"Young man, I won this time, haha."
Grandpa Zhou placed his white chess piece on the fifth square and burst into laughter.
"Grandpa Zhou's chess skills are truly remarkable. Rong Jing lost. I admire him greatly."
Rong Jing looked at the five white chess pieces that Grandpa Zhou had connected and responded with a smile.
"I beat you in the first round, do you mind?"
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. One should accept the consequences of a bet and never regret a move."
Grandpa Zhou listened to his answer and then looked at Grandpa Su.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It is said that one's character is revealed in their chess skills.
Looking at him today, this young man is really good.
The two then played several more rounds.
Grandpa Zhou thoroughly enjoyed Rong Jing's calm and composed approach to the game.
As darkness fell, Grandma Zhou kept calling to urge Grandpa Zhou to come home.
After finishing the last game of chess, Grandpa Zhou reluctantly said goodbye to Grandpa Su and the other two and left.
Su Yinwan also went home with her grandfather.
Back at the old house, Aunt Qin had already tidied up the room where Su Yinwan and Rong Jing were staying.
They could have moved into the house where Su's parents live now.
The house is not far from the old house, about a fifteen-minute drive.
This house was bought when Mr. and Mrs. Su got married.
Because we've lived here for a long time, we've gotten used to it and developed feelings for it.
The two of them didn't like moving to other places.
Therefore, the house that Grandpa Su later gave me was left vacant.
That house, which was temporarily unoccupied, had been on Su Yinwan's mind for many years, and had caused quite a few conflicts.
Although Su's parents came back to stay over the weekend, her room probably hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Thinking about the hassle of tidying up, Su Yinwan decided to stay at the old house.
In addition, Grandpa often asked Aunt Qin to clean her room, so there was not much dust or anything like that.
"Xiao Wan, the sheets and duvet covers have been changed, and all the towels have been taken out. If anything is missing, just let me know."
Aunt Qin had just taken a brand new quilt from her room on the first floor and was about to take it up to her room on the second floor to put it away for them.
Upon seeing the three people returning from their walk, she spoke to Su Yinwan.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Qin."
"It's not hard work."
"Aunt Qin, give it to me, I'll take it upstairs."
Su Yin wanted to help earlier that evening.
Seeing that she was so insistent, Aunt Qin didn't say anything more.
It was time for the old man to take his medicine, so she had to go and prepare it.
"Okay, then take it upstairs."
Aunt Qin was about to hand the quilt to Su Yinwan when a pair of large hands grabbed it from her.
"I'll do it."
Suddenly, Rong Jing appeared, grabbed the quilt, and headed up the stairs to the second floor.
"Xiao Wan, look how considerate your husband is."
Aunt Qin patted Su Yinwan's arm and praised Rong Jing.
Su Yinwan watched the man's retreating figure without saying a word.
She had begun to get used to these proactive behaviors from men.
"Alright, you should all get some rest too. I'll give the old man his medicine later, and he'll probably be asleep by then."
"Okay, Aunt Qin, I'll go upstairs now."
"Go."
Su Yinwan pushed open the door to the room on the second floor and went inside, where she saw Rong Jing laying out a quilt.
"Why don't you go take a shower first?"
"Can."
"There are pajamas for you in the closet. Aunt Qin prepared a few sets."
"Um."
After the man went into the bathroom, Su Yinwan, feeling bored, sat down and started watching videos.
Fifteen minutes later, Rong Jing came out after taking a shower.
She smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the man's well-fitting pajamas.
Luckily, I didn't forget the size.
When Aunt Qin asked her for her pajamas size, she thought for a while before giving her the size.
"Do you have a hairdryer? I couldn't find one in the bathroom." Rong Jing dried his wet hair with a towel and looked at Su Yinwan.
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Su Yinwan familiarly took out a light pink hair dryer from the drawer under her desk.
"Just use the plug from there."
"Okay, you go take a shower first, don't worry about me."
Su Yinwan ignored him and took her pajamas to take a shower.
After drying her hair, Rong Jing put the hairdryer back in its original place.
He began to carefully examine the room.
The bedroom walls are light blue, and the other soft furnishings are also blue with a touch of pink.
