Seeing that he had won the game, Grandpa Ah Gai was in such a good mood that he laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry about it. If you lose the game, you should accept the loss and take the money quickly!"
"It's not you who won, so what's there to be proud of?" Old Liu muttered and handed over the money.
"Grandpa, do you want to play another game? Maybe you will win the next game. When playing chess, touch and luck are also very important." Qin Nuo said with a smile.
"Don't give me that, little kid. You are just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. How dare you come here to fool an old man like me?" Old Liu said with a dark face.
Qin Nuo scratched his head, chuckled twice, and stood up to make way.
Turning around, he saw that Grandpa Ah Gai had suddenly disappeared. Qin Nuo was stunned. He squeezed out of the crowd and looked around, but there was no one in sight.
"Holy crap! He's not going to run away with the money, is he? Did I get scammed by some old man?"
Qin Nuo was speechless, but just as he turned around, a wrinkled old face appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of him.
Qin Nuo took two steps back before he saw clearly that it was Grandpa Ah Gai, and the Ghost Burial Stone in his hand loosened a little.
"Little kid, I didn't expect you to be so good at chess." Grandpa Ah Gai said with a smile and handed him a popsicle.
Qin Nuo took it, looked at the color of the popsicle, and had no intention of eating it.
"Whatever you want to ask, ask it now. I have to go back and get that bastard some food."
Qin Nuo pondered for a moment and said, "I'm just a little confused. Why are you so opposed to changing the performance?"
"Don't adults like their children to be multi-talented? Ah Gai has a natural talent for acting. Maybe he'll achieve great things in this field in the future."
“Isn’t this something to be happy about?”
Grandpa Ah Gai was silent, raised his head and looked in the direction of the Black Crow Ghost School. After a moment, he said, "If that's the case, I certainly don't have any objections."
"He is my grandson after all. He is doing what he likes. Why shouldn't I support him and be unhappy?"
Speaking of this, Grandpa Ah Gai sighed slightly, revealing a sense of helplessness.
Qin Nuo then asked: "What's the reason?"
Ah Gai's grandfather's face showed a hint of confusion: "Aren't you a member of the acting department? Why don't you know?"
Qin Nuo said calmly, "I've been out for a long time, and I don't know a lot of things anymore, so I just asked."
After all, Ah Gai's grandfather didn't know the character of Qin Feng, so Qin Niu didn't worry about being exposed and reducing the degree of his acting.
Ah Gai's grandfather sat down, took out his wooden gourd, took another sip of wine, and said, "When Ah Gai joined the acting department, I was not only happy but also proud."
"After all, who wouldn't want to see their grandson stand on the stage and shine? It's also enough for me to brag about in front of those old men."
"But one night, my grandson came home very late. I saw that he was very tired from rehearsing, so I made some soup for him. He was very excited and pulled me aside, saying that he had rehearsed a wonderful scene today and wanted to perform it for me."
"I sat down and wanted to see how my eldest grandson performed, but after seeing his part, I decided that I would never let him participate in that skit again and would definitely force him to withdraw from the acting department."
Qin Nuo's expression was moved, and he quickly asked, "Is the acting very bad?"
"He acted very well and completely immersed himself in the role."
Grandpa Ah Gai shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that the character he played... He was like he was possessed, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes laughing. That smile scared even an old man like me."
"I don't know what he was acting out. After he finished speaking, he scratched his face with his hands, and his nails scratched his face, drawing blood."
"I was terrified and quickly stood up to stop him, but he was still immersed in his role until I hit him on the head with a wooden gourd and he came to his senses."
"He woke up and asked me angrily why I interrupted him and interrupted his wonderful performance. I gave him a mirror and asked him to look at his face."
"He saw the blood all over his face, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he asked me if I thought his acting was bad or terrible."
"At that time, his face was covered in blood and his expression was distorted. I couldn't tell whether he had come out of his role or not."
"That night, we had a fight. I was very scared. If he continued like this, something bad would happen. So I went to the school and told them about it. I asked them to disband the acting department. Besides me, many other parents also complained about this. Their children were in the acting department."
"After hearing what I said, the school realized the seriousness of the situation and forcibly disbanded the acting department guild. Many children escaped at that time. I thought my grandson had escaped as well. He acted normally and told me with a smile that he would not be like before."
At this point, Grandpa Ah Gai held his head in his hands, his expression haggard, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.
"Ah, he has always had a habit of sleepwalking. I heard noises coming from next door and knew it was my grandson sleepwalking. He only sleepwalks by sitting up in bed and then lying back down after a while. There's no danger."
"But that night, when I opened the door, I saw Ah Gai standing on the balcony, dancing a ballet-like dance. His movements were not at all unfamiliar; they were very skillful."
"He closed his eyes and stood on tiptoe on the balcony. I was startled when his face turned towards me. It was covered in heavy, feminine makeup and had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth."
"That's when I realized that Ah Gai's previous normal behavior was just an act for me. He hadn't quit the guild at all. Or rather, he hadn't gotten rid of those kids at all."
