Her face instantly turned red to her ears, and she waved her hand hurriedly, stammering in her mind, "Luo Bao, you absolutely mustn't tell on me!"
I really didn't say anything, not a single word! I swear!
As she spoke, she nervously swallowed, her eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact with Qin Qianluo and Su Jinyun.
Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed excitedly, "I suddenly remembered, I made a promise with Yaoguang!"
She must be getting impatient; if I don't go now, it'll be too late! I'm off to find Yaoguang!
Before she could finish speaking, she took off like a startled rabbit and ran away in a flash.
Her little braids swayed from side to side with her movements, and her short legs moved quickly, as if afraid that if she stayed for even a second longer she would be "punished".
A moment later, her figure disappeared around the corner of the courtyard, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps and faint laughter in the air.
The warm winter sun shone down, as if draping the courtyard in a golden veil.
Su Jinyun, with her light and graceful figure, like a willow catkin dancing in the spring breeze, leaned lazily into Qin Qianluo's warm embrace.
She tilted her head slightly, watching Feng Qingyun's small figure rush away like a broken-backed colt, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
It outlines a faint arc, just like the crescent moon quietly emerging in the night sky.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible cunning glint flashed in her eyes, like a star twinkling in the night sky.
He thought to himself, "This little rascal is always so clever and mischievous. He's always trying to steal Qianluo's attention from me. I'll see how I 'deal with' him later."
She silently kept this "debt" in her heart, intending to "settle" it slowly in the future, and was not in a hurry.
After all, there's still a long way to go, and plenty of time to "spar" with the little one.
Qin Qianluo held Su Jinyun tightly, feeling as soft as the most delicate flower petal in spring.
She gently squeezed Su Jinyun's hand; those hands were delicate and warm, as if carrying the warmth of spring.
Qin Qianluo's voice was gentle and soothing, like a babbling brook in spring, with a hint of suppressed laughter.
And a hint of helplessness towards her father: "Father rushed back in such a hurry this time, I bet he's going to challenge you to a duel again."
When my mother sent me the letter, she specifically mentioned that ever since she lost to you in the chess game last time, my father has been like a man possessed, putting in a lot of hard work.
He visited many reclusive masters of chess, humbly seeking their advice and learning.
Not only that, but Daddy studies all sorts of chess manuals day and night, often forgetting to eat or sleep, all in the hope of winning a game against you next time.
As Qin Qianluo spoke, she laughed. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like silver bells swaying gently in the wind, which made the birds on the branches sing merrily along with her.
Her eyes were curved, like a crescent moon in the night sky, full of tenderness and smiles, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth added to her charm.
She gently smoothed her wind-blown hair, tilted her head, and teased her father with her eyes: "Father, you've really taken this to heart this time."
To beat you, I even brought out my treasured tea, collected for years, and sought advice from reclusive chess masters, hoping to find the secret to victory.
Su Jinyun affectionately wrapped her arms around Qin Qianluo's waist and gently rested her head on her shoulder. The two figures were closely intertwined, like a beautiful painting.
The unique, faint fragrance emanating from Qin Qianluo lingered around my nose, a scent like the freshest floral fragrance in spring, seeping into my heart and making me feel relaxed and happy.
Su Jinyun squinted her eyes contentedly, her long eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly's wings, her expression nonchalant.
She parted her lips slightly, her tone playful and confident: "It's alright, no matter how hard Father tries, he can't beat me."
After all, I had devoted myself to studying the chess scores of many masters in the space, and I knew every move and strategy of those exquisite chess games by heart.
To unravel its mysteries, I often spend an entire day in the space, repeatedly deducing and working tirelessly without sleep.
My father is far inferior to me. Even if he brought all those chess masters home, they still wouldn't be a match for me.
"When he gets back, we'll set up a chess game and see if he dares to look down on me again."
After saying that, Su Jinyun puffed out her chest slightly, raised her head gently, and hummed twice arrogantly, looking just like a proud little peacock.
A playful smile played on her lips, and her eyes sparkled with a lively light, as if she were announcing her "victory" to the world.
She held up a finger and waved it gently in the air, saying triumphantly, "Daddy is always unconvinced, but he just can't beat me. I'm not afraid of him at all!"
Looking at her adorable appearance, Qin Qianluo couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped Su Jinyun's little nose.
She scolded him playfully, "You, you've always loved to go against your father."
In court, your novel ideas and bold remarks often infuriate him to the point of blowing his beard, glaring, and jumping up and down.
Do you remember the last time we discussed the new policies? You spoke so eloquently that Father couldn't refute you. His face turned red, and he paced back and forth anxiously in the court.
He finally got home, but even playing chess couldn't keep him from getting away with it. What a little rascal!
However, although Daddy says you're annoying, deep down he really likes your cleverness.
As if drawn by invisible threads, Su Jinyun slowly raised her eyes, her gaze meeting Qin Qianluo's gentle, watery eyes.
In an instant, the corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably, her eyes crinkling into crescents like a bright moon in the night sky, and her eyes sparkling with starlight.
A gentle breeze stirred her hair, and a few stray strands fell playfully against her cheeks, further highlighting the delicate charm in her eyes and brows.
She tilted her head slightly, her smile growing even brighter, her eyes sparkling with playfulness and coquettishness, her thoughts instantly drifting back to the past, filled with memories of bygone days.
