It's like he's developed some kind of cat addiction.
It's very strange.
Shen Jingnian's face was expressionless, and he parted his thin lips slightly, "It's nothing, I just feel more at ease living at home."
"Is that so?" Old Madam Shen raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly not believing Shen Jingnian's explanation.
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Just then, Madam Shen seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, Haotian just texted me saying that today is Ningning's birthday. Have you prepared a birthday present for Ningning?"
"No." Shen Jingnian said in a flat tone.
"No?" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she stood up from the sofa. "You brat! Who is Ningning? She not only saved your life, but she's also my dear daughter-in-law! You didn't even give her a birthday present. Do you not want to pursue her anymore?"
Shen Jingnian said helplessly, "Mom, I never intended to pursue her. Besides, I'm against marriage."
"No marriage my foot!"
Old Madam Shen was so angry she almost fainted. She quickly pinched her philtrum, "Ahhh! You're going to kill me! Old Liu, Old Liu, call an ambulance!"
Shen Jingnian was clearly used to Old Madam Shen's act. "Mom, I'm going upstairs now."
"What a filial son you are! I'm about to faint from anger, and you still want to go upstairs! How did I raise such a filial son!"

The next day.
Saturday.
It was the day that Shen Jingnian and Phyllis had agreed to meet.
After leaving the conference room, Shen Jingnian canceled all his afternoon schedule and prepared to go to Yipinge for his appointment.
Yun Haotian followed behind him, "Uncle, where are you going this afternoon?"
"Keep the appointment."
"With whom?" Yun Haotian asked curiously.
"An online friend."
Netizens?!
Yun Haotian's eyes widened.
It's like blood is falling from the sky! His uncle has actually caught up with the trend and is going to meet someone he met online!
Yun Haotian then asked, "Uncle, you're in an online relationship? Oh! I get it, you're definitely going to meet them in person!"
Yun Haotian became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Shen Jingnian rolled her eyes at him, "Can't you think of anything else besides these messy things in your head?"
"If it's not an online relationship that leads to a real-life meeting, then what is it?" Yun Haotian asked, puzzled.
"Do you know about [assassination]?" Shen Jingnian then asked.
Yun Haotian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "[Assassination] isn't a Go endgame you created yourself?" Moreover, it's an endgame that even the previous Go champion couldn't solve, and it has an extremely high level of skill in the industry.
There's a saying among professional Go players: "No Go is complete without assassination."
Shen Jingnian explained, "A few days ago, I encountered a gamer named Phyllis at the Enchanted Mountain Villa in the Splendid Peak. They easily cracked the [assassination] plan, so the person I need to see is them."
"Phyllis?" Yun Haotian suddenly opened the door to his memories, and then asked, "Uncle, is that the player who entered the Adventure Manor before you?"
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Yun Haotian's eyes widened in disbelief. "My God! This Phyllis is amazing! Not only did she enter the Adventure Manor before you, but she's also broken your [assassination]!"
Shen Jingnian's intelligence is already exceptional.
Unexpected.
There are actually people who are even better than him.
Now, not only was Shen Jingnian curious about who Phyllis was, but Yun Haotian was also very curious.
"Uncle, shall I go with you?" Yun Haotian continued.
He also wanted to see who Phyllis really was!
“No way.” Shen Jingnian refused outright. “I didn’t say I was going to bring anyone. It would be too abrupt to bring you along.”
"That's true." Yun Haotian scratched his head. "Then, after you've gotten to know each other, you can introduce us?"
“Okay.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Yun Haotian was lost in his fantasy and couldn't help but say, "It would be even better if she were a great beauty."
Shen Jingnian reached out and patted his head, his voice low and deep, "Stop thinking those messy thoughts. I don't think Phyllis's playing style and opening moves are very girly."
Phyllis's playing style is vast and unrestrained, annihilating any obstacle in his path.
Even Shen Jingnian felt inferior to him.
Yun Haotian stroked his chin. "That's not necessarily true. What if she really is a stunning beauty? Uncle, you're just an unromantic, unmarried man anyway. If Phyllis is truly a beauty, you absolutely must introduce me to her!"
“Okay, if Phyllis is a girl, I’ll introduce you two.” Shen Jingnian picked up his wristwatch from his desk and put it on. “I’m leaving now.”
"Okay." Yun Haotian nodded.
Thirty minutes later, Shen Jingnian arrived at the private room of Yipin Pavilion and left a message for Phyllis online.
I'll be waiting for you in the private room at Penglai Immortal Pavilion.
Jiang Ning had already gotten into a taxi and was just about to log on to leave a message for S when she received a message from S. She clicked to reply: 【Okay, I'll be there in half an hour.】
Shen Jingnian replied with an "okay" and then turned off his phone.
In addition to tea and delicate snacks, there was also a Go board on the tea table.
With his long, slender fingers, Shen Jingnian picked up a chess piece, playing chess with his left and right hands. The rising steam from the tea concealed his cold, handsome features, making him appear hazy and ethereal, like a celestial being descended to earth, a truly pleasing sight.
When a waiter came in to refill the tea, he saw this scene and couldn't help but blush!
Half an hour later.
There was a knock on the door of the private room.
thump thump thump--
Phyllis has arrived.
*Smack*
At the same time, Shen Jingnian placed the last chess piece on the chessboard.
The fighting was particularly fierce.
But the result was a draw.
This is why Shen Jingnian so desperately wanted to see Phyllis.
He wanted to find a real rival.
Instead of playing against yourself every day!
Shen Jingnian got up and walked to the door, his beautiful hand resting on the doorknob, turning it slightly.
It would be a lie to say I'm not looking forward to this moment.
Click!
The door opened--
