After only a slight hesitation, Meng Chen parked the car and the villa servant led him to the living room.

Opening the door, Meng Chen immediately saw Xiao Zi sitting on the sofa with her chin in her hands watching her master and Josnian playing chess. She didn't know what the master said, but Xiao Zi smiled happily.

Meng Chen's lips couldn't help but raise.

He walked over and said hello: "Master, Si Nian, Xiao Zi."

Everyone looked up, but the old man just said "hmm" lightly and concentrated on playing chess with Josnian: "This move of yours is to force me to play ruthlessly."

"Master's words are serious. I am obviously just following the current." Josnian smiled.

"You just go along with the flow and force me to have no way forward or retreat. You are still the most ruthless."

Xiao Zi smiled and pointed at the chessboard: "Master, put it here."

"Haha, yes." The old man laughed and dropped a chess piece, "What is this called? This means that the authorities are blinded by the onlookers. Meng Chen, do you think so?"

Meng Chen hadn't seen the pieces on the chessboard clearly yet, but he nodded: "Master is right."

The gloomy sky darkened little by little, and the already dark sky became darker and darker until night fell and the street lights outside the villa came on one after another.

It's dark.

Josnian is very focused when playing chess. This is what their master has always taught them. No matter what they do, they must try their best and be serious before knowing the result.

This is probably called doing your best and obeying destiny.

However, the old man would look at Meng Chen from the corner of his eye from time to time.

Meng Chen's hair was still slightly stained with moisture, his face was tired, his white shirt was crisp and clean, and there were no wrinkles. The tie around his neck had not yet been taken off, as if he had just come from the company.

Xiao Zi only looked down at the chess game and rarely spoke.

This time is very much like many, many years ago.

The former master was used to being strict with them, but now the master is more like their old friend, he loves to talk and laugh, and he can no longer be seen as harsh.

Meng Chen served them tea, and he didn't say much. He sat next to the master and silently watched them play chess.

Although he, Xiao Zi, and his master are in the same city now, there are very few opportunities to meet, especially Xiao Zi. Unless he deliberately arranges it, they will almost never meet again.

"Mom, Mom!" Xiao Yu ran over from the kitchen. He followed Ye Jiaqi to make some snacks and distributed them to everyone piece by piece.

Xiao Zi hugged him as he was running around: "Slow down, don't fall."

Xiao Yu put a cookie to her lips: "Mom, Xiao Yu made this. Although it doesn't look good, it's delicious."

Xiao Zi bit it, um, it was delicious.

It's really delicious.

"Mom, Aunt Jiaqi is so amazing. She can make a lot of snacks."

Josnian looked at the snowflake cake in front of him and asked him deliberately: "Uncle, who made this?"

"Aunt Jiaqi said that uncle, you only eat what aunt cooks, so Xiao Yu didn't cook it for you." The little guy said honestly.

Josnian smiled.

The old man also laughed at him: "Si Nian, you are too picky."

Soon, Ye Jiaqi also came out of the kitchen: "How long will it take for the round to end?"

The old man responded with a smile: "Ask your husband, look at him, he has forced me to almost no place to move."
