Gu Lin Chao, that guy, why did he come so early?
Wen Qi Qi climbed over the edge of the tub and spat out the water she had choked on.
“Wang Fei is bathing inside, she is almost done. Wang Ye should sit for a while.” Lu Qiao’s voice with a smile came in quick succession.
The corners of Wen Qi Qi’s mouth twitched, this girl Lu Qiao, she usually did not hear her so happy.
Outside, Gu Lin Chao froze after hearing Lu Qiao’s words, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his handsome face, “Since Wang Fei is bathing, then Ben Wang will go back first.”
Seeing this, Lu Qiao quickly persuaded: “Wangfei will soon be ready. Wang Ye should sit for a while. Really, Wangfei will soon be ready.” She said, and hurriedly went into the inner room, wanting to serve Wen Qi Qi, so that it could be faster.
Only when she rushed in, there came Wen Qi Qi’s voice screaming.
“Lu Qiao!”
Gu Lin Chao had just sat down on the chair when he heard the voice. His heart tightened and he hurriedly stood up and subconsciously took two steps in the direction of the inner room.
But the next moment, he saw Lu Qiao face full of water, rushed out and said in frustration: “This servant girl has no other intention, I just want to come in and help Miss ……”
There was no sound inside for a few moments, and then the rustling sound of dressing came out.
Gu Lin Chao froze. He retreated back to his chair, his black eyes downcast, his fingers resting on his knees, tightened with force.
Lu Qiao wiped off the water droplets on her face and made a cup of tea for him.
Not long after that, Wen Qi Qi came out with a head of wet hair and saluted Gu Lin Chao, “Wang Ye.”
Gu Lin Chao raised his eyes. His gaze fell on her clear and beautiful face after bathing, and he paused. When he saw her wet hair, his eyebrows involuntarily knitted.
“Miss, you quickly sit down, this servant help you to dry your hair.”
Wen Qi Qi sat down as she was told. She let her toss and turn while she tinkered with the chessboard on the table, and then smiled at Gu Lin Chao and said, “Your Majesty, shall we play chess?”
Gu Lin Chao looked at her with some surprise, “You know how to play chess?”
Wen Qi Qi automatically ignored his seemingly surprised tone and looked at him sideways, “There are many things that I know, so I won’t give you any examples here. And what this consort knows, Your Majesty does not necessarily know.”
Her confident tone made Gu Lin Chao smirk.
Wen Qi Qi’s finger tapped the chessboard, “How about it, does Wang Ye want to have a game with me?”
Gu Lin Chao nodded, “Wang Fei is kind enough to invite me, Ben Wang would be honored.”
Wen Qi Qi asked, “Do you want white or black?”
“This King can do both.” Gu Lin Chao said indifferently.
Wen Qi Qi chose the white pieces and handed him the box with the black pieces, then pulled up her sleeves and said, “Your Majesty is a man, so you will surely say, ‘Go ahead and play first.’ So I will not be polite.
The game we are playing tonight is not the kind of chess you usually play, but the kind we are playing is called five in a row. As long as you can line up the pieces belonging to your side into five columns, you will win. Of course, you can also block the other side’s pieces, so that the other side’s pieces don’t have a chance to line up into five.”
Gu Lin Chao gave her a surprised look, “Five in a row?” (Aka gobag)
“Yes.” Wen Qi Qi was a bit complacent. She didn’t know how to play chess with ancient people, but she was very good at gobang, which she used to play the most with her colleagues in the crew. She didn’t believe she couldn’t win against Gu Lin Chao.
