“Miss Shi, let’s go. The dishes will get cold if we stay any longer.”
Looking at his back, Shi Yan fell silent.
Was it her illusion? Why did she feel that his gaze was a little different just now? it wasn’t his usual gentleness, but a strength she had never seen before.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan suddenly laughed.
If it wasn’t her imagination just now, then he and she had a lot of similarities.
It was true that she was rarely calculative. Once she was calculative about something, no one could change it.
For example, when she ran away from home when she was ten years old;
For example, the moment she set her eyes on Jiang che, she was determined to get him and immediately put it into action. No one could interfere with her after that.
She quickly caught up to Jiang che, and the two of them walked with a person’s distance between them.
soon, they arrived at the private room that had been prepared.
in the private room next to the courtyard, the exquisite scenery of the courtyard could be seen through the curtain-folded window.
the decoration of the private room was simple.
There were dishes on the round wooden table.
The only special thing was the small vase on the table with a flower in it.
It wasn’t a rose that someone had prepared for a date. It was a Lotus that had just bloomed.
They were probably picked from the small lotus pond in the courtyard.
After leading them here, the middle-aged man who led the way left first, leaving only the two of them.
Outside the curtain-folded window, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, the sound of water and the chirping of birds could be heard, and the faint sound of a guqin could be heard from the pavilion in front.
The Jade eatery invited a zither player who would play during mealtimes.
eating at the jade eatery was a form of enjoyment. not only did he enjoy the taste, but he could also enjoy other senses.
“i like it here,” shi yan said with a smile as she looked out of the window.
it was rare for shi yan to like a place. she might not even be able to use the word ” like ” in a place she had lived in for many years. moreover, it was not that shi yan had never seen an environment like the jade food square, but she just liked it here.
“since you like it, you can come often in the future.”
jiang che ladled a bowl of soup and handed it to her. ” this soup is not bad. miss shi, have a bowl to warm your stomach. ”
“Thank you,” he said.
shi yan thanked him and took the spoon to take a sip. the taste was indeed good.”It’s very good.”
Seeing this, Jiang Che’s eyes turned gentle.
he also got himself a bowl.
Neither of them were talkative people, and they rarely spoke at the dining table, but they ate very well, even though it was quiet the whole time.
after the meal, the two of them did not leave immediately. they sat in the courtyard for a short while, and someone brought them some tea and snacks.
Drinking tea, listening to the zither, listening to the water flow, and listening to the birds.
the two of them just sat there. even if they didn’t say anything, shi yan’s heart was calm and happy.
she thought that about 80% of her emotions in this life were caused by jiang che. In the past, she had always lived a carefree life, but ever since she met Jiang che, she had slowly changed.
“miss shi, it’s noon now and the sun is shining brightly. we’ll leave later. do you need an afternoon break? There’s a room here.”
She had the habit of taking a nap, but she would definitely not be able to fall asleep if she lay down now.
He shook his head and said,”no need.”
jiang che did not force her. ” miss shi, ” he asked, ” do you know how to play go? ”
Seeing that Shi Yan was looking at him, Jiang che said,”it’s boring to sit here. If miss Shi knows how to play chess, we can play a few rounds.” if young lady shi does not know, i will get someone to find two books for young lady shi to pass the time.”
“I will,”
zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were compulsory courses for her since she was three years old. she was very talented in this area and had some small achievements in a few years. After that, even when she left home, she did not neglect it. After so many years, even if she did not reach the master level, her skills were not bad.
Jiang che got up to make a phone call. Soon, someone sent over a set of chess pieces.
White jade chessboard.
with shi yan’s sharp eyes, she could tell at a glance that the chessboard alone was worth a lot.
The chess pieces were naturally not that bad either. They were polished round and smooth.
“Miss Shi, do you like the white or black stones?”
Shi Yan had wanted to say “white,” but when she looked up and saw the gentle-looking Jiang che sitting opposite her, the word “white” changed to “white.””blackie,”
She felt that Jiang che was more suitable to play the white stone.
Jiang che handed her The Chess Box with the black pieces.
“Miss Shi, please.”
“i won’t stand on ceremony then,” shi yan smiled faintly.
He placed a stone.
it was said that one could see a person by watching a game of chess, but after two consecutive games, both of their playing styles were extremely gentle, just like her gentleness and his gentleness.
halfway through the third game, a person came to the backyard of the jade restaurant.
“fifth lord jiang, i didn’t believe you when i heard that you were here, but you’re really here!” What wind blew you out of the house today?”
His voice suddenly stopped when he saw Shi Yan, who was sitting opposite Jiang che and playing chess with him.
he was shocked.
shi yan followed the voice and saw yun jian, whose expression was constantly changing.
she had just met yun jian yesterday. she heard that yun jian was jiang che’s attending doctor.
Jiang che placed a chess piece down and then looked up indifferently.
just a glance was enough to make yun jian shiver and immediately snap back to her senses.
“miss shi yan, we meet again,” he greeted her politely.
he had come back to his senses, but the shock in his heart had not decreased at all. He had only suspected that Shi Yan might be related to Jiang che yesterday, and now he had seen the two of them playing chess together. It would be strange if he wasn’t shocked!
This was the fifth Lord Jiang!
the pure-hearted fifth lord jiang!
Most importantly, the other one’s surname was Shi.
If Shi Yan was related to the SU family and happened to be a member of the Shi family, it was not difficult to guess her identity. Everyone knew that the Shi family only had one granddaughter out of several grandsons! one could imagine how noble they were!
if these conjectures were true, then the two of them together would be a lively scene in the future.
Jiang che glanced at Yun Jian and then looked at Shi Yan. “you know each other?”
he was obviously asking shi yan.
yun jian,”yingluo.”
after all, they had known each other for so many years. shouldn’t they be more familiar with each other? should she ask him this question? Why did he ask Shi Yan?
It seemed as if Shi Yan was one of fifth Lord Jiang’s people, and he was an outsider.
Shi Yan first nodded to Yun Jian and responded to his greeting, ” “doctor yun,”
“Yesterday, on the way to the winery, doctor Yun’s car rear-ended young master Jiang’s car. We met once,” she answered.
So they had only met once.
what are you doing here? ” Jiang che asked Yun Jian.
” i’m eating. i was just eating upstairs and was about to leave when i heard you were here, so i came to see what blew you out the door. ”
He glanced at Shi Yan as he spoke.
it was the spring breeze.
Of course, Yun Jian didn’t dare to say this.
“i didn’t expect miss shi yan to be here.”
“Are you guys playing chess?”
it had to be said that the two of them sitting there playing chess was indeed very pleasing to the eye. even if yun jian didn’t have any artistic cells, she couldn’t help but want to praise, ” what a poetic and picturesque scene! ”
gu zi walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Jiang che glanced at him indifferently.
yun jian’s attention was all on the chessboard and didn’t see jiang che’s gaze at all. she stared at the chessboard for a moment and asked in bewilderment, ” “Eh? ah che, when did your style of playing change?”
suddenly, she met jiang che’s faint gaze.
Yun Jian’s heart trembled.
Fine, he had spoken too much. He was also unnecessary.
“i suddenly remembered that i still have something to do, so i’ll be leaving first. miss shi yan, i’ll treat you to a meal another day!”
he slipped away.
They came quickly and left quickly.
Shi Yan didn’t even have the chance to thank him for treating her to a meal.
“This bi an …”
“No need to care about him.” Jiang che said.
” we’ve known each other for many years. we can be considered friends. if there’s a chance, i’ll formally introduce you to miss shi. ”
was he going to introduce her to a friend?
shi yan pursed her lips and smiled. she suddenly remembered what yun jian said just now and asked him, ” “Wasn’t teacher Jiang’s style of go like this in the past?”
Suddenly, it crashed into Jiang Che’s deep eyes.
“My style of chess varies from person to person,” he said, looking at her.
At that moment, Shi Yan’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
