128 Chess Expert


    “By the way, Yue Ping is quite good at fishing. You’re about the same age, so just hang out more in the future.” Grandpa Fang felt that it would be easier for Yue Ping and Yuan Xiao tomunicate with each other. He turned around and said to Fang Yao, “Ah Yao, tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Your parents will go out for dinner tonight. You children can apany this old man.”


    Fang Yao was not surprised at all. Although Fang Yuan and Wei Lan had been married for a long time, their rtionship was still very good. They often abandoned them to spend time alone.


    “Alright, I’ll get the kitchen to prepare it.” Fang Yao nced at Yuan Xiao and left the hall worriedly.


    Yuan Xiao also noticed Fang Yao’s concerned gaze and felt very warm in her heart. No matter where she was, Fang Yao was always paying attention to her, afraid that she would encounter danger or suffer grievances. This feeling of being constantly taken care of was not bad. Although Yuan Xiao did not say it out loud, she was still very touched in her heart.


    Of course, Yue Ping also noticed Fang Yao’s gaze. She red at Yuan Xiao angrily and felt that this girl still had some tricks up her sleeve. Otherwise, Fang Yao would not have changed so much.


    “Come, Ah Ming and Ah Ze,e and y chess with me for a while.” Grandpa Fang could not wait to set up the chessboard. Usually, he did not have many opponents. Although Butler Zhou could y chess with him, his skills were too poor. He could not evenpare to the old man from the Yue family.


    “Grandpa Fang, Ah Ming is still the one ying chess. I can’t beat him!” Yue Ze knew that Fang Ming had won many awards in university, including the first ce in chess.


    “Of course I know that this kid is good at chess.” Grandpa Fang set up the chess pieces and said to Yue Ze, “I’ll y two rounds with him first. Help me look at his chess moves and tell me after we’re done.”


    Yue Ze smiled and nodded. He sat beside Fang Ming and started studying the game seriously.


    Fang Ming sat opposite his grandfather. Just as he was about to take the first step, he heard his grandfather say seriously, “Ah Ming, you have to y chess with me seriously. You can’t lose to me on purpose!”


    “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll use everything I’ve learned to y chess with you.” Fang Ming was already used to his grandfather’s temper. His grandfather would be unhappy to lose to him. But if he let his grandfather win, he would be even more unhappy. Therefore, Fang Ming had no choice but to slow down and drag out the game as much as possible.


    Yuan Xiao, who was standing at the side, looked at Grandpa Fang, who was obviously a little nervous. He asked Meng Zhu in a low voice, “Zhu Zhu, is Brother Fang Ming very good at chess?”


    Meng Zhu nodded. “He’s very good. Brother Fang Ming has been a top student since he was young. He learned many things in one go. Moreover, he has a photographic memory and has never met his match in chess.”


    Listening to Meng Zhu’s description of Fang Ming, Yuan Xiao felt that Fang Ming was somewhat simr to herself, who had the Academic Genius System.


    [Ding-dong! Congrattions to the host for activating the credit mission again!]


    The electronic voice in her mind clearly stunned Yuan Xiao. She had clearly not done anything, but the mission had actually been activated again.


    [Using the special ability of the Academic Genius System to defeat Fang Ming in a game of chess is considered a missionpletion. You can obtain 80 points!]


    Yuan Xiao knew the contents of the mission and said to Meng Zhu, who was beside her, “Let’s go take a look too. I’m quite interested in ying chess.”


    Although Meng Zhu knew nothing about chess, she saw that Yuan Xiao was curious and nned to apany her. However, she did not expect Yue Ping, who was behind her, to say to Yuan Xiao faintly, “I wonder if you have a brain that can understand chess, or if you just want to get involved.”


    Yue Ping’s tone was very contemptuous, as if she did not believe that Yuan Xiao was really interested in ying chess. However, just like her, she was trying to build a good rtionship with Grandpa Fang.


    Just as Meng Zhu was about to speak up for Yuan Xiao, she was stopped by her. “Let’s go and watch Grandpa y chess. Ignore her.”


    Yuan Xiao wanted to find an opportunity to y a game of chess with Fang Ming so that she couldplete the mission. She did not have time to waste on Yue Ping.


    Meng Zhu red at Yue Ping and followed Yuan Xiao behind Grandpa Fang. Yue Ping did not want to give Yuan Xiao a chance, so she hurriedly followed.


    Yuan Xiao’s attention was focused on the chessboard. She knew a little about chess, but her level was average.


    Yuan Xiao realized that Fang Ming had always looked very rxed. Although he said that he was ying chess seriously, it was more like he was deliberately trying to make Grandpa Fang happy.
