Xiao Jingxi looked up at the words, a white piece twirling delicately between his fingers. He glanced at Ren Yaoqi beside him and smiled, "Of course there is."
"Oh?" Pei Zhiyan showed curiosity for the first time, and the Xu couple also looked at him, wanting to hear what was going on.
However, when Ren Yaoqi saw that look in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she became a little nervous, fearing that Xiao Jingxi would say something nonsense.
Xiao Jingxi gently placed the white piece on the chessboard, another clever killing move. When everyone's attention was drawn to the chessboard, he slowly said, "Whether you're nervous or not depends on the person and the situation. As long as you are a person, there will always be something in your heart that you care about, and I naturally have it too."
Pei Zhiyan looked at Xiao Jingxi in surprise. Having weaknesses is not something that can be talked about, especially for someone with Xiao Jingxi's identity and status, who would never admit it, because having weaknesses is equivalent to having weaknesses.
Meeting Pei Zhiyan's gaze, Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly: "Avoiding one's own 'weaknesses' is equivalent to denying oneself. This is the behavior of a weak person."
Pei Zhiyan tilted his head and said a word, his eyes full of interest: "So how does Mr. Xiao deal with his weaknesses? Does he overcome them?"
Xiao Jingxi thought for a moment, his voice still tinged with a faint smile. "Overcome the weaknesses you can, and face the ones you can't. Since they're an integral part of who you are, then treat them seriously." After a pause, he added, "And I don't think there's anything wrong with a person having one or two weaknesses. No one is perfect, and the feeling of being lonely at the top isn't exactly pleasant."
Ren Yaoqi was listening at the side, and couldn't help but stare at Xiao Jingxi's profile in a daze, unable to look away.
Although Xiao Jingxi's expression remained calm as he spoke these words, he somehow possessed an exceptionally attractive aura. Although he admitted that he had weaknesses, no one could doubt at this moment that the calm yet confident young man before him was an absolute powerhouse.
Everyone present sighed when they heard this, and seemed to be lost in their own thoughts because of Xiao Jingxi's words. They were all mortals with weaknesses.
At this moment, Xiao Jingxi turned around and met Ren Yaoqi's gaze. The faint warmth and gentle smile in his eyes were conveyed to Ren Yaoqi without reservation with a heart-pounding affection. Although he quickly turned his gaze back to pay attention to the chess game, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly, and it took a long time to calm down.
At the end of the game, it was not surprising that the game ended in a stalemate.
Xiao Jingxi and Pei Zhiyan looked at each other. Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and threw a piece into the chess pot: "I lost."
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "This is a tie."
Pei Zhiyan shook his head and said leisurely, "It may not be easy for you to defeat me now. That's just because of my age... In a few years, I may not be able to get away with it."
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and jokingly said, "According to what Mr. Pei said, it seems that in a few years you won't have to rely on my age anymore?"
