Chapter 51: It Was Probably the Feeling of Love at First Sight.
“Checkmate!”
On the chessboard, the wine-red-haired young woman, after a round of play, used her ‘horse’ to take out the ‘guard’ in front of Luo Yunxuan.
Luo Yunxuan looked at the chessboard, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing no signs of panic.
He gently moved his endangered ‘king’ and said softly, “Miss Feng, don’t be too happy too soon.”
After he made this move, he made several more in quick succession, instantly turning the situation around. Two of his pawns had already crossed the river and were at the city gates. The young woman, who had seemed to have the upper hand, was suddenly in a stalemate.
The wine-red-haired young woman’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of surprise and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
She bit her lower lip and thought for a long time before slowly making another move.
However, Luo Yunxuan seemed to have anticipated it and quickly responded. After a few rounds, the young woman had been forced to retreat step by step.
“Alright, brother, just let her win…”
Luo Chuxue poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two. The unyielding Feng Chuiying took a cup of freshly brewed tea and drank it without hesitation.
“It’s hot!”
Luo Chuxue kindly reminded her, but Feng Chuiying gulped it down without any signs of discomfort.
“She won’t get burned.” Luo Yunxuan helplessly used his water element to extinguish the strange flames burning on his body.
“Delicious! Sister Chuxue’s tea-making skills are really good.” Feng Chuiying grinned, and her two small dimples gave off a feeling of a spring breeze.
“Hey, don’t just praise Chuxue. I chiseled this water from the ice that never melts on the highest peak of the Glacial Snow Domain.”
“It’s for you to cool down.”
“I know! Thank you, Brother Yunxuan.” The girl said coquettishly, which made Luo Yunxuan extremely satisfied.
These past few days, Luo Yunxuan had often come to visit Feng Chuiying, and with the Fourth Elder’s permission, he had also brought Luo Chuxue in.
Living together these past few days had also made the girl slowly let go of her timidity, and she kept calling them brother and sister.
Luo Chuxue also liked Feng Chuiying’s personality very much.
As for Su Yuebai, Luo Chuxue had not believed that she was not the Fourth Elder’s granddaughter at first. But at Luo Yunxuan’s strong request, she had come to visit Feng Chuiying.
This had also caused Su Yuebai’s identity to become a mystery in the depths of the brother and sister’s hearts.
“Sigh, I lost again. I’m not convinced. Let’s play another game!”
Feng Chuiying began to reset the chessboard.
“The feng shui here is not good. I want to sit on your side!”
Feng Chuiying requested to switch places with Luo Yunxuan. Luo Yunxuan helplessly switched places. “Alright, alright…”
“You’ve lost more than you’ve won these past few days. Haven’t you had enough?”
“Of course not. Every game of chess has its own unique fun. Who knows how you’ll win or lose the next game.”
“Come on, come on, hurry up and set it up!” the girl urged.
“It takes a lot of effort to win against brother. Brother has been trained in chess by the imperial family since he was a child. The best masters in all of Canglan trained him.”
Luo Chuxue had originally said this to make Feng Chuiying give up, but who knew that the girl’s eyes would light up.
“So Brother Yunxuan is that amazing. Then there’s no one else in the world as amazing as him to play with me. That’s great!”
Luo Yunxuan smiled helplessly and could only continue to play chess with the girl.
“When I came this time, I prepared a gift for you.”
Luo Chuxue took out a pair of gloves that glowed with a pale blue light from her spatial ring. They were woven from a strange ice silk material and emitted a soft and cold blue light. As the light flowed, it was as if countless tiny snowflakes were dancing within them.
Feng Chuiying was instantly attracted by this sparkling thing. “Wow, so beautiful! Is this for me?”
Luo Chuxue nodded. “This is a gift that my brother and I have carefully selected for you. It’s not a high-grade spiritual artifact. But wearing it can slightly suppress your uncontrollable flame aura.”
“It’s much more useful than that piece of thousand-year-old profound ice,” Luo Yunxuan added.
“Really?” Feng Chuiying put on the gloves half-believingly. The moment she put them on, she only felt that her hands were cool and comfortable.
And these gloves would automatically adjust their size according to the size of her hands.
“They look good. Thank you, Sister Chuxue.”
Seeing that Feng Chuiying liked them very much, Luo Chuxue was also genuinely happy for her.
“Hey, what about the gift you said you were going to give me last time?” Luo Yunxuan suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the girl scratched her head in embarrassment. “I haven’t prepared it yet…”
“What gift? You’ve been preparing it for so long?”
“Aiya, don’t ask. You’ll know when the time comes!”
Seeing that Feng Chuiying was a little shy, Luo Yunxuan tactfully did not continue to ask.
The two of them fiddled with the chess pieces, back and forth.
Luo Chuxue just watched silently from the side, not saying a word.
“Does Brother Yunxuan have a girl he likes~” Feng Chuiying suddenly asked.
Luo Yunxuan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Feng Chuiying to suddenly ask this question.
But in fact, the first person that came to his mind was the girl who had knocked him over by the Immaculate Pool.
Seeing that Luo Yunxuan had involuntarily thought of something, and there was even a hint of reminiscence in his brows, Feng Chuiying had already guessed.
“It seems there is such a person. What kind of person is she in Brother Yunxuan’s heart?”
At this, Luo Yunxuan gave a bitter smile. “To be honest, I’ve only met her once. As for my impression of her, it’s even less.”
“And at this point, I’m not even sure if her name is real.”
“Ah? There’s such a person? Then what do you like about her, Brother Yunxuan?” the girl asked.
“Mm… let me think about how to describe it.”
“It was probably the feeling of love at first sight. The moment I saw her, I felt my heart skip a beat. She clearly hadn’t done anything. She was just standing there, quietly doing her own thing, yet she had already tied me up for the rest of my life in my mind.”
“Hey, let’s not talk about it anymore…”
Luo Yunxuan himself was a little embarrassed to say it, but the girl sitting opposite him was lost in thought, her expression a little unnatural.
Feng Chuiying looked at Luo Yunxuan’s face and slowly savored the words he had said.
“What kind of girl must she be?”
As Feng Chuiying was lost in thought, her ‘cannon’ had unknowingly been taken by Luo Yunxuan.
“Hey, what are you thinking about? You’ve never made such a low-level mistake before.”
“It’s nothing. I was just a little distracted.”
Feng Chuiying did not regret this chess piece, but just silently moved the captured cannon off the chessboard.
Perhaps some chess pieces are very important, but it is destined that they will be captured sooner or later!
