That past was a nightmare for Ren Yaoqi. When he heard the three words "Eunuch Lu", this nightmare was triggered from the bottom of his heart.
Both Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin felt that something was wrong with Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, bent down to pick up the chess piece that fell at his feet, rubbed it between his fingers for a moment, then leaned over and placed the chess piece in Ren Yaoqi's palm.
The touch of the chess piece, which was slightly cool but had some of Xiao Jingxi's body temperature, falling into her palm brought Ren Yaoqi back to her senses. She looked down at the white piece in her palm, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xiao Jingxi looked at her and smiled gently, "Look, the chess piece has cracked."
Ren Yaoqi reacted and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I... I'll give you another one." Although the one she gave him would definitely not be as good as this one.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and shook his head, then took the chess piece from Ren Yaoqi's hand. "I like things that have stories, because stories make them unique. You played chess with me today, and then you broke one of my chess pieces. So this originally ordinary chess set now has a story."
Ren Yaoqi was amused by his words, and even the negative emotions she had previously felt when thinking about Eunuch Lu subsided a lot. She smiled and said, "Then I'll throw a few more to make it have more stories?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled at her when he heard this: "That won't do. Since it's a story, it's not intentional. Besides, you can't create the same crack again."
He looked at her with gentle and bright eyes. "I just want to tell you that the crack that has already appeared on the chess piece cannot be eliminated, but it is precisely because of this crack that it has become unique. Why not think of the damage as a story that has already happened? After all, no matter how hard you drop it, you won't get the same mark again. If you ignore it, it can't hurt you."
If you take it lightly, it can't hurt you.
Ren Yaoqi was a little stunned because of Xiao Jingxi's words and his gentle eyes that seemed to see through everything.
After a moment, Ren Yaoqi slowly raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Xiao Jingxi seriously and said: "Thank you."
She said thank you sincerely because she was truly grateful.
It seemed that every time Xiao Jingxi could lead her out of her madness with just one or two words.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingxi twice more. The dark clothes made his face look even more beautiful, making him look like jade. Such a handsome man always made Ren Yaoqi forget that he was just a teenager who was only a few years older than her.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi staring at him silently, Xiao Jingxi wanted to pick up the tea bowl in annoyance to hide his unwillingness to admit helplessness, but he got nothing.
Xiao Jinglin took Xiao Jingxi's cup away, then stood up and handed it to Hongying who was waiting beside him: "Go and change it for a hot bowl."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
