Chapter 185: Do you want to fight him until dawn?
Not long after they stayed in the study, Ji Chen was inexplicably pulled into the group chat of old friends including Xia Zhonggeng and others.
It can be considered as... successfully infiltrating the inner circle of my future uncles...
After admiring the calligraphy and paintings for a while, the elderly people became more and more excited to chat with Ji Chen. Fortunately, their wives called them one by one, and they reluctantly left to go home.
They are not henpecked, they just love their wives, really.
Nearly ten o'clock.
The only people left in the study were Wang Zhirong, who also lived in Xike Village, and the host Xia Zhonggeng.
The two of them are now joining forces and playing chess with Ji Chen with great interest.
In this game, both sides formed the popular layout of the Fairy's Pointing the Way to the Left Middle Cannon against the Pawn's Cannon Flying to the Left Elephant.
Ji Chen slowed down his move in the middle game, and Wang Zhirong and Xia Zhonggeng seized the opportunity in time and took the offensive.
Ji Chen also knew the temperament of the two old men. They would definitely rather lose than let him give in to them.
So Ji Chen responded with attack, and soon the two of them lost their composure and tried to defend steadily, but the situation took a turn for the worse and they were defeated by Ji Chen in a short while.
After a game of chess ended, Wang Zhirong and Xia Zhonggeng felt a brief moment of loss, then looked at Ji Chen opposite them, their old eyes sparkling with light.
Wang Zhirong rearranged the chess pieces on the table and said, "Another game!"
Xia Zhonggeng patted Wang Zhirong on the shoulder and said, "Now it's my turn to play against Xiao Ji."
Ji Chen looked at the time and saw it was already ten o'clock. He stood up and apologized to the two elders, "Uncle Wang, Master, it's getting late. I have to go back to school. If I get back later, the dormitory will be closed."
Xia Zhonggeng had just sat down opposite Ji Chen. When he heard what he said, he said without hesitation, "It's not like there's no room for you to sleep in the house, little Ji. The room on the third floor will be yours from now on. I cleaned it up early this morning. I'll put down a few more dishes and you can go to bed later."
When Ji Chen heard what his master said, he was a little amused.
So Master came prepared today?
Even the room I live in is prepared for me.
After hearing what Xia Zhonggeng said, Wang Zhirong also echoed, "Yes, let's play a few more games. It's a rare opportunity to play chess with you, Xiao Ji."
If it were him, he would not arrange a separate room on the third floor for Ji Chen, but just give it to his granddaughter.
Such an outstanding grandson-in-law with excellent character is hard to come by.
You can tell at first glance that she will not abandon you and will be loyal forever.
It’s a pity that he has a girlfriend.
Ji Chen looked at the two elders who were excited and enthusiastic, and said nothing more. He could only sit back in his seat.
"Then let's play two more games. It can't be too late, otherwise it will be bad for your health."
It’s okay for him, a young man, to stay up late, but Xia Zhonggeng and Wang Zhirong are both old, and if they stay up too long, problems may arise.
When the two heard Ji Chen's words, their faces lit up with joy, and Xia Zhonggeng happily started a new game with Ji Chen.
Twenty minutes later, a crushing defeat!
Ji Chen looked at his master, whose smile had disappeared, and said with a smile, "Master, I'm grateful for your kindness."
Xia Zhonggeng: “…”
Wang Zhirong patted Xia Zhonggeng on the shoulder and said, "Old Xia, you are the master, let me take this one!"
Ten minutes later, Wang Zhirong was quickly defeated!
Ji Chen looked at the two elders opposite him with dark faces, smiled, and said, "Thank you for letting me!"
After a brief period of decadence, Wang Zhirong began to place the chess pieces again.
"Xiao Ji, another round!"
Ji Chen frowned slightly, "Not good, it's very late."
Xia Zhonggeng was also very interested, "Let's play another round."
"All right."
The three of them played chess, round after round, until half past eleven.
During this period, Xia Zhonggeng and Wang Zhirong tried their best to win a game against Ji Chen.
Ji Chen also tried his best and pretended to lose and let the two elders win a game.
But he didn't expect that the two chess fans became more and more courageous as the game went on. Judging from their posture, they wanted to fight with him until dawn?
Ji Chen felt that he could do it, but these two old people couldn’t.
If we stay up all night and something happens to our parents, it will be a disaster.
After another round, Ji Chen frowned, rubbed his brows, and said in distress, "Hiss... I feel a little headache. I wonder if it's because I overused my brain."
Xia Zhonggeng had just started to rearrange the chessboard when he saw Ji Chen's expression. He frowned and stood up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wang Zhirong also realized, "It's been the two of us playing against you alone. I'm afraid you've really been overworking your brain."
Seeing the reactions of the two elders, Ji Chen continued to massage Taiyang Xue, "One more... I should be able to play another round."
Xia Zhonggeng looked at Ji Chen's uncomfortable expression and said without saying anything, "What are you going to do? Go to the sofa in the living room and take a rest first."
Wang Zhirong also followed up, "Yeah, let's think about it, let's come back another day. Today was indeed a bit too much."
After hearing what the two elders said, Ji Chen reluctantly nodded, "Okay, then we'll continue another day. It's getting late, I'll go back to my room to rest."
"Okay, if the pain doesn't subside later, I'll get you two ibuprofen." Xia Zhonggeng said with a worried look on his face.
Ji Chen felt a little sorry when he saw the old man's worried look, but then he thought that if he didn't do this, the battle would really last until dawn.
He could only continue to rub his solar plexus. "Okay, I think I should be able to recover soon. Then, Master, Uncle Wang, you should rest early."
"good."
"Go ahead."
As the two elders watched him go, Ji Chen held his head and went upstairs.
Only when he reached the door of the room on the second floor did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to keep my parents up all night.
Ji Chen paused for two seconds at the door of the room on the second floor, then continued to the third floor.
After all, it was almost twelve o'clock and Bai Lianwan should have gone to bed, so he wouldn't disturb her.
Arriving at the room on the third floor, the decoration style was very simple, and all the necessary furniture was available. Ji Chen yawned and strode directly into the bedroom.
The sheets and quilt covers in the bedroom were also simple, masculine, cool colors. Ji Chen liked them quite a bit and couldn't help but feel a little warm.
The master was really good to him.
Ji Chen walked to the wardrobe, opened it and took a look. When he saw the clothes inside, he was slightly stunned.
Not only did the master prepare clothes for him, they were all Yun Duo's men's clothes.
So is this also silently supporting his business?
Ji Chen smiled unconsciously, picked up a set and went to the bathroom.
At this moment, he really felt a sense of belonging here.
Ji Chen took a quick shower, and it only took ten minutes from the time he went in to the time he came out.
After wiping his hair casually, he returned to the bedroom, took off his shoes, and fell directly onto the bed, ready to go to sleep.
…
Xia Zhonggeng, who was downstairs, was so worried that he couldn't sleep. He searched the living room on the first floor for a long time but couldn't find the ibuprofen sustained-release capsules.
He was also worried that his apprentice had a constant headache and couldn't find ibuprofen, so he thought for a moment and then turned and went upstairs.
Usually, the ibuprofen at home is prepared for Wanwan, and he was watching this girl take it a while ago.
Maybe she knew where to put it.
So he decided to go to the second floor and ask her.
Although it might disturb his little granddaughter's rest, Xia Zhonggeng felt that relieving his apprentice's headache was more important.
