A Tao stood not far behind Bai Yu'an. Seeing Shen Jue walking out, and looking at Bai Yu'an who was still standing there, she couldn't help but walk over.
The cold wind blew and the bamboo forest nearby rustled.
But after standing in the yard for a short while, my body was stiff from the wind.
A Tao tugged on Bai Yuan's sleeve: "Sir, please go back to the house."
Bai Yu'an felt like her heart was about to jump out. She calmed down and turned to A Tao and said, "We will move out as soon as the Lantern Festival is over."
A Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion: "We have only lived here for more than a month, are we going to move so soon?"
Bai Yu'an folded his hands and said nothing, turned around and returned to the house.
A Tao followed Bai Yu'an into the house, then put the stove in Bai Yu'an's hand and said, "What did Chief Shen and the Young Master say just now?"
Bai Yu'an leaned her head on the chair and didn't understand what Shen Jue meant.
But this unpredictable emotion made her uneasy, so she had to stay away from Shen Jue.
It's not that she has no confidence in her chess skills, but she doesn't know Shen Jue's details and can't guarantee that she can beat him.
The thin white fingers moved unconsciously on the hand stove, half of the delicate front was bathed in the light, making the neat white collar more eye-catching, and the eyes couldn't help but fall on the almost transparent white face.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the scenery is as bright as the moon, nor is it an exaggeration to say that an elegant person is profound.
A Tao couldn't help but stare blankly.
Bai Yu'an seemed not to have heard A Tao's words. He turned his head and squinted at the window, and then whispered: "It's almost noon."
A Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked outside and said, "No."
Then he looked at Bai Yu'an and smiled: "Young Master has never been so lazy at home in the past."
Bai Yu'an smiled and said helplessly: "My father is very strict at home, and I have to get up early to study with him. How dare I be lazy?"
A Tao burst out laughing: "Young master, I have the nerve to say that in the past, I was like a cat when I saw the master. Now that I don't have the master, I just stay in bed when I have time."
Bai Yu'an smiled and looked at the window paper with a calm expression.
At home, I only focus on reading, and I haven’t experienced many human relationships. Although I have seen some warmth and coldness, I am still protected by my family, and I still don’t know how to guess people’s hearts.
Bai Yu'an knew that although he was a talented and famous child prodigy since childhood, he was not what others called a nerd.
Seeing that Bai Yu'an was silent, A Tao asked, "When do you plan to go out, Master?"
Bai Yu'an has been unhappy because of Shen Jue's incident, but she always thought about how it would affect the mood of others.
She walked out and looked at the chessboard on the small table in the small hall. A sunspot still fell on it, as if coldly mocking her.
Bai Yu'an pursed her lips and sat next to the small table. She raised her hand to play the chess piece and said with lowered eyes, "Let's go there in the afternoon."
"I'll take you to see the lanterns by the way in the evening."
A Tao saw that Bai Yu'an was playing chess by himself again, so he said not to be disturbed, so he went to get the boots that Wei Ruyi had not finished last time, and sat down next to Bai Yu'an quietly.
It was so quiet in the small hall that you could hear a pin drop, only the occasional sound of chess pieces falling onto the chessboard.
A Tao looked up at Bai Yu'an from time to time, and saw that her brows were downcast, her lips were slightly pursed, her green eyes were half-lidded, and the hair falling by her ears was the wind and moon carried by the breeze.
The moon-white open sleeves swept across the chessboard from time to time, occasionally fell, and occasionally lingered on the chessboard, outlining elegant lines.
A Tao pursed her lips, then lowered her head to sew the soles of her shoes, fiddling with the charcoal fire from time to time, for fear that Bai Yu'an would get cold.
Mother Chen, who was busy in the kitchen, prepared the meal and walked to the yard to invite people to come out for dinner, but she saw a figure in white behind the half-draped bamboo curtain.
I felt peaceful at first glance, and I swallowed the words that reached my throat unconsciously, for fear of disturbing the tranquility.
A Tao noticed Mother Chen coming over and saw the expression on her face, so she knew the meal was ready.
She glanced back and asked Mother Chen to go to the kitchen first, and then looked at Bai Yu'an.
Seeing Bai Yu'an twisting a chess piece and thinking deeply, she opened her mouth, and then saw that the chess piece hanging on her fingertips was still lingering, so she had to endure it for now.
When the chess pieces finally fell onto the chessboard, A Tao saw the right opportunity and hurriedly whispered: "Sir, it's time to eat."
Bai Yu'an paused after hearing this and looked at A Tao: "So fast?"
A Tao smiled and said, "Young Master is obsessed with playing chess. Naturally, you don't know how fast time passes."
Bai Yu'an sighed and took back his hand to get the chess piece: "That's right."
As she spoke, she held her forehead again and whispered in a tired voice: "It's just that the only way I can calm down is by playing chess. I even have no appetite."
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an worriedly: "No matter what, you should have two bites of food."
"Young master, your health is not good to begin with. It's cold in winter, and your health will not be good if you are sick."
Bai Yu'an was indeed in poor health when she was a child. She got cold and sick every three days. Every time she had cold and body heat, the whole family got busy.
The only Jade Pimple in the family, she was always worried when she got sick. She took a lot of prescriptions to replenish her body, but it was of no use.
It was also in the past two years that Bai Yu'an went out a lot, and her health gradually got better.
Bai Yu'an was most afraid of A Tao's nagging, so she didn't have much thought to deal with it. She nodded and asked A Tao to collect the chessboard.
When the food arrived, I only took a few bites before putting down my chopsticks.
A Tao watched anxiously from the side, and took a new pair of chopsticks and put a piece of fish in Bai Yuan's bowl: "Mother Chen bought this early in the morning. You should eat more, sir."
The steamed fish meat was slightly sweet, so Bai Yu'an took one bite and stopped moving.
A Tao looked at the time. As soon as Bai Yu'an finished eating the bowl of vegetables, she immediately put a chopstick in. Bai Yu'an had no choice but to eat.
When I was a child, my master was very strict. When eating, there should be no leftovers in the bowl.
Bai Yu'an has been raised since childhood, and she feels uncomfortable when she sees that there are still unfinished dishes in the bowl.
A Tao smiled secretly and thought it was almost done so he didn't add more vegetables.
Bai Yu'an looked at A Tao while cleaning her mouth, smiled and asked her to eat quickly.
After getting up and returning to the house, Bai Yu'an leaned on the table to watch the chess game.
After playing for a while, I went to get the chess records and look at them again.
In the past, Bai Yu'an only played chess as a way to kill time, and he never played chess seriously with anyone.
Bai Yu'an didn't know what Shen Jue's chess skills were, but he wouldn't be at a disadvantage if he started to seriously study some moves now.
She has the control, but she does not have the initiative to rule.
When A Tao came in, he saw Bai Yu'an playing chess against the chess book again. He couldn't help but walked over and said, "Young Master, you'd better take a rest. You have to go out in the afternoon."
Bai Yu'an was so absorbed in it that he didn't even raise his head: "I'll leave when this round is over."
A Tao was speechless: "Your chess game is over, it will probably be dark."
Bai Yu'an was silent, and was studying again, so she said to A Tao: "Just wait for me for another half hour."
Seeing Bai Yu'an like this, A Tao couldn't bear to call anyone, so she had no choice but to agree.
