Chapter 175: Chapter 157, Two Lonely People_2

Xiao Yeyang smiled and made an inviting gesture with perfect gentlemanliness.

Soon, Daohua explained the rules of Gomoku.

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, “It’s that simple? I thought you were going to introduce some complex rules!”

Daohua: “…” She suddenly had a feeling she was going to be thoroughly defeated.

And that was indeed the case.

Yan Wenxiu, with a book in hand, sat to one side, occasionally glancing over at the two of them.

Then, he saw his sister’s face growing darker and darker, while the Little Prince’s smile became wider and wider, the smug look in his eyes somewhat irritating to him.

“I don’t want to play anymore. It’s so boring!”

After being defeated over and over again, with each game ending swiftly after it began, Daohua even began to doubt whether her intelligence was in the negatives.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua’s sullen expression and awkwardly touched his nose. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

It seemed like he might have played too hard.

Should he let her win?

After giving it some thought, Xiao Yeyang said, “You play the game without a set strategy, simply following your heart—no wonder you couldn’t win. Come on, let’s continue. I will teach you how to play.”

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang wasn’t as smug anymore, Daohua turned her attention back to the chessboard.

“Don’t move there, you should go like this…”

“Stop, when you play chess, you need to think three steps ahead, or even further. If you move here, and I place two more pieces, I’ll have you trapped. Do you see?”

Listening to Xiao Yeyang’s chatter, Daohua found it quite interesting. Taking turns, they almost filled the entire chessboard.

“Are you going to the provincial capital tomorrow?”

Once Daohua was able to make her own moves, Xiao Yeyang started talking about other things.

Daohua nodded her head: “Mm.”

Xiao Yeyang: “When will you return?”

Daohua placed a piece: “After the Lantern Festival.”

Seeing Xiao Yeyang suddenly become silent, and thinking he was considering the prospect of spending the Lantern Festival alone, Daohua pondered and then said, “Back in my old home, whenever I felt lonely, I would keep myself busy. Once you’re busy, you won’t have time to think about all those messy things.”

At her words, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flickered, and he glanced at Daohua, noticing her focus was still on the chessboard, as if her previous words were spoken casually.

This guy… she had learned to speak in riddles with him.

But, had she just been trying to soothe him with her earlier words?
