"Hey, Mr. Lu, what brings you here?" Zhang Yuwen said with a hint of teasing.
"Not welcome?" Lu Yuzhi replied succinctly.
"Welcome, Mr. Lu. You've come at just the right time; the rice is ready. But we're out of rice." Zhang Yuwen shrugged helplessly.
"I... I have too much food in this bowl, I can't finish it," Li Peiyu said weakly, her voice trembling slightly as she worried that her loose tongue would arouse suspicion. "I haven't even touched my chopsticks yet."
"Alright. I don't eat much either." Lu Yuzhi said without changing his expression, and unceremoniously took an empty bowl and sat down.
Li Peiyu carefully pushed her rice over, while Lu Yuzhi calmly took it, ate half of it, and then pushed it back to Li Peiyu.
Zhang Yuwen was filled with doubt, muttering to himself: Why is Lu Yuzhi stealing food from the little girl's bowl?
After dinner, the group sat and chatted for a while before Zhang Yuwen received a phone call saying he had to go out. Gu Yan then went to play ball with Xiao Fan.
Li Peiyu and Lu Ting sat quietly, their eyes seemingly watching the two of them play ball, but in reality, their hearts were firmly tied to each other, and their hearts were restless.
"Do you know how to play Go?" Lu Yuzhi suddenly asked.
"Yes," Li Peiyu replied briefly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuzhi got up, went inside to get the Go set, and then played Go with Li Peiyu.
"Playing Go openly and honestly shouldn't arouse suspicion, right?" Li Peiyu thought to himself.
Lu Yuzhi deftly set up the chessboard, took the black pieces for himself, and handed the white pieces to Li Peiyu. The table was a bit small, so the two chess boxes were placed close together, making it seem somewhat cramped.
The two men engaged in a silent battle on the chessboard, exchanging blows back and forth without uttering a single word, the only sound being the crisp clatter of the pieces falling.
Li Peiyu looked down at the chessboard and reached out to grab a white piece, while Lu Yuzhi also reached out to grab a black piece. For a moment, their hands lightly touched.
This slight touch made Li Peiyu tense up instantly, and her heart jumped into her throat.
Li Peiyu initially thought it was just an accidental touch, but to her surprise, Lu Yuzhi touched her hand repeatedly, clearly on purpose.
"I really want to kiss you." Lu Yuzhi blurted out without any hesitation.
Li Peiyu glanced at Gu Yan in a panic, only to see him completely focused on playing ball.
"Don't worry, he can't hear us from this far away," Lu Yuzhi's voice came again.
"What are you standing there for? It's your turn," Lu Yuzhi urged.
Li Peiyu finally came to her senses and began to observe the chessboard. However, she was still flustered and hesitated in front of the chessboard, unable to make a move for a long time.
"Do you want to eat me that much?" Lu Yuzhi asked again.
"Hmm," Li Peiyu responded, then placed a piece on the board.
"So, are you planning to eat me by the door, by hitting me, by hugging me, or by pouncing on me?" Lu Yuzhi pressed on, a sly glint in his eyes.
(Note: "Door capture", "attacking capture", "clutch capture", and "reverse capture" are Go terms for capturing stones.)
"Hold me and feed me," Li Peiyu said softly.
"Okay, I'll let you hold me and eat your fill tonight," Lu Yuzhi replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Peiyu's face stiffened, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She couldn't help but feel angry, wondering why Lu Yuzhi could utter such vulgarities.
He even managed to make such an elegant activity as playing Go seem vulgar.
“You…” Li Peiyu was both embarrassed and angry, and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.
"What do you mean, 'you seduced me first'?" Lu Yuzhi said matter-of-factly.
"What do you mean?" Li Peiyu quickly retorted, her eyes full of grievance and confusion.
"No? Then what is it?" Lu Yuzhi stared intently at Li Peiyu's collar.
Li Peiyu subconsciously looked down and realized that her neckline was too low. When she bent over, all the scenery inside was completely exposed to Lu Yu across from her.
Li Peiyu was both embarrassed and ashamed, and quickly sat up straight, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"What's there to be ashamed of? Haven't you always been pretty thick-skinned?"
Times have changed. When she seduced him, she had just transmigrated into the book, young and fearless. Now, now she wants to be a decent human being…
At this moment, Gu Yan walked over and said, "Dad, why don't you play ball with my brother Fan for a while? I'll play chess with Li Peiyu for a while."
“No, she’s not playing chess anymore. She said her hands are sore.” Lu Yuzhi refused on Li Peiyu’s behalf without changing his expression.
That beautiful spring scenery could only be seen by him.
"Are your hands sore?" Gu Yan asked with concern.
Li Peiyu nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Let me see it," Gu Yan continued.
Li Peiyu hurriedly put her hands behind her back; she wouldn't dare to show them to Gu Yan even if she had ten times the courage.
“Gu Yan,” Lu Yuzhi suddenly called out, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.
"Huh?" Gu Yan looked bewildered and at a loss.
"Go home early tonight," Lu Yuzhi said coldly.
"Oh?" Gu Yan looked puzzled, completely baffled. When had his father ever cared about whether he came home or not?
Li Peiyu knew that Lu Yuzhi wanted her to go home early.
Lu Yuzhi stood up. "I have something to do, so I'll go first." He had to attend a board meeting at the group later.
Lu Yuzhi couldn't help but glance at Li Peiyu out of the corner of his eye, then quickly looked away like a thief, cursing inwardly, wondering when he could finally look at her openly.
Lu Yuzhi hurried to the front door and happened to run into Zhang Yuwen, who had just returned.
"Why are you leaving so soon?" Zhang Yuwen asked, his face full of doubt.
"Hmm." Lu Yuzhi simply responded, his expression slightly hurried.
