Chapter 106 Playing Chess



Ji Qingran watched the domineering romantic drama, complaining while watching it happily. She liked to complain while watching TV. In the past, when no one watched with her, she would talk to herself.

Now that she finally had someone to talk to, she naturally wanted to be happy. The TV series was at the stage where the heroine was chasing the hero, but the hero didn't respond much and the heroine was about to give up. Ji Qingran said to Ruanruan while watching, "Sister-in-law, believe it or not, this hero is about to take the bait."

Ruanruan looked confused. Wasn't she about to give up? Why did she take the bait again? "Isn't she leaving?"

Ji Qingran looked at her innocent and soft face with a meaningful expression, "You don't understand this, right? It's playing hard to get. As the name suggests, when pursuing a man, you can't just attack all the time. You have to defend and attack at the same time. If you let go a little, the effect might be better."

Ji Qingran looked at Ruanruan's face full of requests for advice, and immediately her desire to teach was aroused. "It's like flying a kite. The tighter you hold it, the lower the kite will fly. With the right amount of looseness or tightness, the kite will not only be high and stable, but the string will also be in your hand. You need to advance and retreat in moderation. This is a big deal." Ji Qingran said profoundly. These were the experiences she had summed up after watching countless romance dramas.

It is probably useful. In any case, eight out of ten TV dramas play it this way. When the heroine likes him, he is dismissive. When the heroine doesn't like him, he goes after him instead. So she probably concluded that one should not be too enthusiastic, nor too enthusiastic. It's up to her to decide the right degree.

Occasional little emotions can actually make the relationship even warmer.

After listening to her words, Ruanruan thought thoughtfully, so that's how it is. Anyway, after she said so much, she understood. She shouldn't be so enthusiastic and should let him pursue her.

Ji Qingran watched and talked, and Ruanruan seemed to have taken an emotional class and opened up a new world. It turns out that it is possible to do this, to flirt unintentionally.

The two discussed the plot together, and Ruanruan listened and learned at the same time. After watching two episodes, with the commentary beside her, she felt like she had opened the door to a new world.

Mr. Ji slept for nearly two hours. When he came out, he saw the two of them huddled together, talking about something happily.

He nodded with satisfaction. That was right. He knew that soft girls were likable. After getting to know her, he would definitely like her. It would be so nice to live in harmony like this. The bad boy would have a home too.

When Ruanruan turned sideways to talk to Ji Qingran, she saw his figure out of the corner of her eye, stood up and called him with a smile, "Grandpa, have you rested well?"

You know what, he doesn't know if it's a psychological effect, but he really feels relaxed. He feels like he's two years younger after this sleep. His body feels energetic again, and he's in a good mood. In the past, he would feel tired and out of spirits for a while every day, but not today.

It is true that people feel refreshed when they are happy.

"What are Ruan and Ranran looking at?" Grandpa walked towards them with a smile. The two stood up and let Grandpa sit between them. Ji Qingran gently pressed his arm and took the fruit plate on the table. "Grandpa, what do you want to eat?"

Grandpa Ji felt that this moment was worth everything and smiled happily, "Grandpa won't eat it, you guys can eat it."

Ji Qingran teased his grandfather with a half-smile, "Yes, Grandpa doesn't like eating, he just likes fishing."

When Mr. Ji heard this, he gave her a dissatisfied look and said, "Go away, little girl, why are you revealing the secrets? You are not cute at all. You were cuter when you were a child."

"Grandpa knows a lot of things. I'll teach you how to play chess when the time comes."

"Grandpa, I guess you just want to find someone to play chess with you." Ji Qingran massaged his shoulders and teased him. His grandfather always asked her to play chess, but he was never satisfied. He said she couldn't teach him and shook his head and chuckled.

Mr. Ji: You know again?

Ruanruan was very excited to hear this. She was curious about everything and cooperated very well. "Grandpa, I want to learn how to play chess."

"Okay, okay, you have to be my granddaughter-in-law. Grandpa will teach you. I will teach you right away. Come and learn from grandpa." He stood up immediately with great enthusiasm and was about to teach her.

Ji Qingran looked at her empty hands helplessly. The two people had already left with great interest. She smiled helplessly. Her sister-in-law had a very special hobby. She also followed his grandfather's appetite.

The old man pulled Ruanruan to sit down and asked Ji Qingran to go to the study to get his chessboard.

Ji Qingran could only obediently go and get it for him.

After setting up the position, Grandpa Ji first briefly explained some rules to Ruanruan. Ruanruan was a novice and didn't know much about it, so she started by imitating his movements. However, since she didn't understand the rules clearly, she was checked by Grandpa.

Ji Qingran was watching anxiously from the side. After they finished playing, he spoke, "Sister-in-law, you can't play like this." He helped her review the game, "Look, when Grandpa made this move, you should have made this move here to capture this piece. That way, you'd be blocked, right? He can't checkmate you. You have to break his game, or set up a trap to entangle him. It's all about deploying troops and forming a battle array."

As Ruanruan reviewed the specifications that were not clear to her at first, they seemed to become clear. Every step she had just taken was engraved in her mind. She recalled it again. He wrote a word and she changed it in her mind. She seemed to have roughly understood it.

"Come again, Grandpa."

Old Master Ji looked at them with a smile, "Did Miss Ruan learn it?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm rooting for you. Come on."

While Mr. Ji was fanning himself, he said to her, "Grandpa lets you go first."

Ruanruan obediently took a step forward, followed by Grandpa Ji. Ruanruan demonstrated in her mind where she should move next, so she took a step forward. Grandpa Ji looked at her in surprise, "Not bad, Ruan, you understand it after just one game?" Her comprehension is very high.

Ji Qingran, who was standing by, raised her head proudly when she heard her grandfather praising her. It was she who taught her younger sister-in-law. Her grandfather also said that he taught her because he just wanted a chess partner. Since he couldn't beat his brother, he bullied her younger sister-in-law, the novice.

She was on the same side with her younger sister-in-law. She instructed Ruanruan, and as Ruanruan listened while going down, she became more clear-headed and was able to follow the old man in the second half. Of course, the old man also gave her some slack.

Ruanruan also understood, but she suddenly got excited, and as expected, she lost in the end. Ruanruan herself was not surprised at all, because she didn't quite understand his intentions for several moves, so she couldn't defend in time, and only reacted when she was eaten below.

Ruanruan felt that she understood a lot more, "Come again, Grandpa."

Every time Mr. Ji thought about how her comprehension was so high and how quickly she learned, he thought that the little girl was very studious and had actually learned to break down his moves and imitate them. Not bad, not bad.

He looked at Ruanruan as if he saw a treasure.

Ruanruan felt that she understood everything and couldn't wait to try it.
