The grandfather and grandson were both unwilling to concede, silently battling it out on the chessboard, with the stormy game ultimately ending in the old man's defeat.
Looking at the situation where victory and defeat had been decided, Mu Tongzi lazily began to pack up the pieces while glancing at the frustrated old man across from him, smiling lightly, "Thank you for the game!"
The old man snorted lightly, his graying eyebrows furrowing. "Stop pretending!"
This kid's chess skills were taught by him; he was smarter than anyone else since he was little. In the entire military compound, he was a top-notch little tyrant.
The extraordinary intelligence displayed from a young age made his grandfather proud. At first, he only watched and did not play against him. After watching for so many years, when he finally wanted to play against him, one game left him utterly defeated!
The situation of surpassing his teacher was overwhelming for this old man who had fought through gunfire and chaos. Ever since they started playing against each other, this kid had never lost.
"The principle that being merciful to enemies is cruel to oneself is something you taught me, right?" Raising an eyebrow, Mu Tongzi glanced at him calmly, his handsome face still showing an indifferent expression.
"Am I your enemy? Can't you let me win just once?"
"Didn't you always say that winning unfairly is not your style?" With a slight smile, Mu Tongzi finished putting away the pieces and kindly advised, "Don't be upset; next time I'll let you win!"
"Who wants you to let me win! How embarrassing!" The old man huffed, leaning on his cane. "Has Yue Qingchen returned?"
"Yes, she's currently serving as Vice President at GK. Let her gain some experience first! With her talent, she can't handle that position yet, so it's only temporary." Putting away the chess box, he stood up and walked to the tea table on the balcony to start brewing tea.
The balcony was spacious and well-maintained, resembling a botanical garden.
On the shelf of the Outer Layer were lush plants, their dense leaves blocking the bright sunlight outside and casting a cool shadow on the ground.
"So how do you plan to settle this? Are you going to marry her?" The old man tilted his head to glance at the man who was selecting tea leaves. Over the years, he had almost watched him grow up, spending more time by his side than with his own parents.
Mu Lin Sen spent most of his time in the army throughout the year, while Liu Piaoxu had his own career to manage. Therefore, he grew up by Mu Lin Sen's side from a young age, learning many things through observation. He could mostly guess what was on his mind.
"If I don't want to, will Grandpa support my decision?" After selecting a batch of West Lake Longjing tea, he sat back down and looked up at the old man approaching.
"Marrying a wife is about living your life together; this kind of thing should be decided by you. Don't make it difficult for Grandpa!"
Among so many juniors, only his thoughts were hard to decipher. Whatever he was determined to pursue, he would not give up until he obtained it, much like how the old man was in his youth!
"I'm not trying to make it difficult for Grandpa; I just need your understanding and support." Lowering his gaze, he carefully cleaned the teacup, the blue and white porcelain cup turning in his slender fingers.
"Since you were young, you've always had your own opinions on things. The fact that you're seeking Grandpa's advice this time means you've fallen for someone you shouldn't have, or that person doesn't like you?"
"Both." After cleaning the teacups and teapot, he poured boiling water into the teapot. A faint aroma of tea wafted from the rising steam, filling the cool air around them.
