Chapter 886 Draw
That makes it sound like He Jing might abandon him at any moment.
Yan Hanxi sighed gently: "Good student, in the future our children should look for partners from families with few members."
Otherwise, he/she might not be able to handle such a complicated relationship.
Immediately, He Jing was both amused and exasperated, and stuffed a peanut into his mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, your older brother will hear you."
He Yuan, whose ears weren't deaf: "..."
I've heard you, thank you.
However, he ultimately didn't make things difficult for Yan Hanxi, withdrawing his predatory gaze and turning it towards He Jing:
"Jingjing, come, try your brother's cooking and see if it's improved."
He Jing picked up a piece of braised pork ribs from the porcelain plate in front of her, took a bite, chewed carefully, and then said, "Big brother's cooking skills are still so good."
That's why He Yuan is said to be the most skilled among the brothers besides He Zhou. He makes things quite well, unlike He Sui who makes things haphazardly.
I wonder where He Sui has run off to, how angry he is, and whether he'll come after me later.
Suddenly, He Jing received a message from He Zhou.
It was an extremely precise time and a long string of addresses, presumably indicating the location and time of his match.
He Jing opened her memo and glanced at her work plan for the next two weeks. She pondered how to squeeze in time to watch He Zhou's game. After a moment, she made a decision and sent He Zhou a "received" reply.
The tacit understanding between the brother and sister is beyond words; a simple "received" emoji is enough to ease the wrinkles between He Zhou's brows and dispel his gloom.
He Zhou's thin lips curled slightly, and he snorted, seemingly both satisfied and dissatisfied, before putting his phone into his pocket.
...
After dinner, He Jing sat on the sofa and dozed off, while He Yuan and Yan Hanxi sat next to him playing chess.
Holding a large chess piece, He Yuan suddenly asked, "Jingjing, now that you've taken over Ziyun House, you've practically stepped into the business world. Would you be interested in attending a business banquet with your older brother?"
He Jing lazily opened one eye halfway: "Is it one of those banquets where they try to attract investment from each other?"
"No, it's just a casual gathering."
Although business banquets are often driven by a strong purpose, He Yuan, who is too pragmatic, doesn't like them and only attends banquets that are half business and half leisure.
These kinds of banquets are mostly hosted by women in power, and the majority of attendees are women. He Yuan wanted He Jing to make some reliable new friends and not be so busy with work all the time.
He Jing thought for a moment and said, "I'm not interested in attending the banquet right now. I'll talk to my older brother about it when I decide I want to go."
He Yuan didn't insist and simply replied, "Okay."
Then, Yan Hanxi said, "Good student, come and see, who will win this round, me or my older brother?"
He Jing immediately got up from the sofa with great interest, wrapped her arms around Yan Hanxi's neck, and looked down to see that both the black and red sides had lost their rooks and cannons, leaving only two horses lying in the other side's lair.
"draw."
Both sides have roughly the same number of pieces left, each with its own advantages. Unless one side makes a mistake, it will be very difficult for the other side to win.
He Jing thought that, given their extraordinary temperament, it would be difficult for them to make a wrong move.
Yan Hanxi raised the corners of his lips: "I think so too, big brother, how about we end it as a draw?"
He Yuan gave a disapproving look: "If this game is tied again, it will be three games in a row."
If you can't determine a winner after playing chess for half a day, what's the point of playing?
He Jing was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, then belatedly realized—
In the original novel, Yan Hanxi is portrayed as a chess master, proficient in all types of chess.
He Jing: "..."
No wonder it was all draws.
So this isn't a game of chess, it's about human relationships.
