In fact, it is not a shameful thing for Bai Yu to settle down with Shen Jue.
Shen Jue was born in a famous family, and the teachers he studied with since childhood were all well-known experts.
Among them, Shen Jue learned his chess skills from Zhang Taifu, who was known as a national player at that time.
Taifu Zhang was born as a champion, experienced three dynasties, taught two princes, and was a family friend of Yongning Houfu.
Shen Jue was only five or six years old when he started learning chess from Taifu Zhang. This was different from Bai Yuan's casual study which was just for fun.
Shen Jue has been obsessed with the tactics of Go since he was a child, and he spent a lot of time studying it.
It's very impressive that Bai Yu'an and Shen Jue can reach this point, even Xueshi Yang may not be able to reach this point.
It's just that Bai Yu'an has never cared about Shen Jue, let alone got to know him, and he has never lost several times. Although he had no choice but to agree, he was also somewhat confident.
With no more children left, Bai Yu'an was stunned, feeling a little restless.
Bai Yu'an, who has been called a child prodigy since childhood, was a little surprised for the first time.
She knew that she was far behind Shen Jue, and she also knew that there was a layer of sweat on her back.
Shen Jue's careless sense of oppression still slightly disturbed her position. She became more and more cautious, but more likely to make wrong moves.
The candlelight in the room was dim, and Bai Yu'an's face flickered.
Her face, as noble as a plum blossom, was still looking at the chessboard in trance.
Even after sitting for so long, his body is still elegant, with his delicate back leaning forward slightly, his wide sleeves falling on his knees, and his manners are elegant.
Bai Yuan came out of his thoughts on the chessboard and looked at Shen Jue.
Those eyes were clear and quiet, and he just said in a low voice: "My official skills are inferior to others, so admit defeat."
Shen Jue smiled, looked at him and said lightly: "It's getting late now, Master Bai, please stay and have dinner together."
As Shen Jue said this, she clapped her hands and the door outside was opened.
With a look, Changsong standing outside knew what to do.
After closing the door again, Changsong said to the maid standing outside: "Hurry and let the kitchen serve the food. Your Excellency is still dining with Master Bai at Luosong Residence today."
The girl quickly backed out as soon as she responded.
Bai Yu'an didn't know how she felt at the moment. Although she lost the game, she felt calm.
After all, the matter of her deceiving the Queen Mother was resolved.
He stretched out his fingers to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard, but his fingers were suddenly held down by Shen Jue: "Master Bai, someone will take care of these."
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue's palm on the back of her hand. It was so big that it almost covered her hand. The warm temperature spread to her. She was startled, but her face pretended to be calm and she pulled it back.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yuan's retracted hand and stood up from his position.
He walked to Bai Yuan's side, looked at the still sitting figure and said, "Master Bai, are you tired after sitting for so long?"
Shen Jue was already tall, so standing next to Bai Yu'an made her feel like there was a big mountain pressing down on her.
It was indeed a long time sitting.
Bai Yu'an didn't look at Shen Jue, just looked at the ground with lowered eyes, stood up with her hands on her knees.
Perhaps it was because he had been sitting for too long, and Bai Yuan was sitting upright. As soon as he stood up, he felt numbness in his legs, and he fell down again before he could stand firmly.
Bai Yuan's face turned pale, and just when she thought she was going to fall in front of Shen Jue and be laughed at by him, an arm suddenly stretched out in front of her.
The arm wrapped around her waist without warning, bringing her into Shen Jue's arms.
Bai Yu'an was a little dazed, and his mind went blank.
After she reacted, she was shocked to realize that her upper body was pressed against Shen Jue's, and her hands were supporting Shen Jue's shoulders.
Shen Jue's big hand was still pinching her waist. Bai Yuan's face turned pale and she was about to retreat while holding Shen Jue's chest.
Shen Jue smelled the cold fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, and then looked down at Bai Yu'an's pale face, with cold rejection and panic in her eyes.
I had never been so flustered after losing the chess game just now, but now that he was holding me back and getting closer, I didn't feel calm anymore.
His eyes darkened and he relaxed his arms.
Seeing Shen Jue loosen his grip, Bai Yu'an quickly took a few steps back, then bowed to Shen Jue calmly: "Thank you very much, Chief Shen, just now."
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an indifferently. He knew that he always meant something different, and now he might be scolding him in his mind for being nosy.
How can you appreciate someone who has never been rejected by someone thousands of miles away?
If Bai Yu'an hadn't been there, Shen Jue would have been buried in the ground right now.
I don't know where his aloofness comes from.
He pursed his lips and said nothing. He was covering the hot stone, so there was nothing to say.
He walked outside with his hands behind his back.
Bai Yu'an saw Shen Jue go out without saying a word, and was slightly stunned as she turned her head and followed him.
Shen Jue was seen standing on the fence of the attic, his back straight and deserted in the dim light, his sleeves hanging down, as if he was isolated from thousands of people.
Standing up, Bai Yu'an was silent, then walked out and stood next to Shen Jue.
It was already dark outside, and only a faint light could be seen in the distance. Even closer was the bamboo forest under the attic.
The night wind blew in and poured in through the collar. It was still a bit cold under the Qingming Festival.
He glanced sideways at Shen Jue and saw that he had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking.
But at this moment, Shen Jue looked colder and more solemn than before, and Bai Yu'an couldn't help but lower her eyebrows.
The food was served quickly. After the maids had left, Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Master Bai, let's go."
After saying that, Shen Jue stopped looking at Bai Yu'an and walked past her into the small hall next to her.
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue's back, his eyes were silent, and he followed behind.
The food in Shen's house is completely different from what Bai Yu'an eats on weekdays. Just looking at it makes you want to eat.
But Bai Yu'an saw that Shen Jue just took a few sips and stopped moving, just drinking tea lightly.
Bai Yu'an secretly thought that this person was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays. If he didn't want to eat it, he would cook so much. It was a waste.
She had been hungry for a long time. She had lost the chess game anyway, so she had to eat what she had to eat.
The room was very quiet, and the maids retreated to the corners in a polite manner.
Bai Yu'an didn't make any noise while eating. Shen Jue watched indifferently and saw that he was not picky about food and could take two bites of any dish.
I would like to see what Bai Yu'an looks like when he is very hungry.
Sometimes he really wants to break his belief and pride and see him humble and crawling at his feet.
Shen Jue barely touched the meal, and Bai Yu'an couldn't eat any more. Looking at what was left on the plate, she felt a little pity.
Shen Jue saw Bai Yuan's expression, and then remembered the simple meal in front of Bai Yuan that morning.
What a pathetic person.
He thought this stubborn man only liked eating hard steamed buns.
If this delicate flesh were well cared for, it might be even more attractive than it is now.
