The King’s Game

Chapter 61 – [Black Suits VI]

The Shen family was going to move to Fujing in the second week after the completion of Zhou Dynasty. On the day when the moving company had gone to the Shen family, Gu Huai was sitting next to a chess board and grabbed a chess under the expectation of his grandfather.

When he was young, Gu Xicheng was a big man with a gun and a knife in his hand.

There was no predestination for chess. But since his middle age, he began to play chess, playing chess with others, and gradually he became a fan of chess.

Now he hoped his grandson could learn to play chess when he grew up.

The chess piece in his hand was a general.

Considering that he was just a kid in everyone’s eyes, Gu Huai was just playing chess as a toy. Even so, Gu Xicheng was very happy to watch.

He was playing with his grandfather. After a while, Gu Huai looked at the wall clock in the living room. He blinked and felt confused.

It was three o’clock, at that time old man Shen would bring his family’s ChuChu here at about one o’clock. Today, however, he hadn’t come yet.

Maybe they had something to do today. Although he thought so, Gu Huai couldn’t help but point to the wall clock in the living room, and then use a soft voice to call the old man next to him, “Grandpa.”

From one o’clock to three o’clock, the child would watch the clock from time to time. Actually, it was not hard to know what the reason was, but Gu Xicheng was quite confused about how to tell the other.

Gu Xicheng thought it was impossible to deceive children, even though he was still young and the other may not remember it in the future.

This was a matter of principle.

Move? Hearing this word, Gu Huai opened his eyes slightly. He put down the chess pieces on his hand and stretched out his hands to grab the sleeve of the old man beside him, where to?

Since Shen Sui often made a ‘chirp’ sound to him, several people close to him now agreed that it was their nickname, so it was no surprise that Gu Xicheng heard the name.

He only replied in a calm voice, “going to a place called Fujing.”

He didn’t know what ‘Fujing’ meant for such a small child. The old man looked at his only grandson who had lowered his head and stopped talking. He couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s not that you’ll never see him again. If you want to see him later, grandpa can take you there. Or when Xiao Huai grows up, you can find him by yourself. ”

When his grandson looked at him and shook his hand, Gu Xicheng admitted that he couldn’t refuse the other’s request.

But this child seemed to be very sensible at present. Although it looked like he was not in high mood with his head down, he didn’t immediately ask for anything.

In the Shen family, the situation was much worse. At this time, the people from the moving company had carried all the items that Shen’s family required to carry in the car. Actually, it was not too much. It was mainly some antiques that old man Shen particularly liked, plus some items of special significance or extra value. The rest of the ordinary furniture and other items were all left untouched.

He didn’t say it in advance. Mr. Shen originally wanted to move. If he didn’t say it, his son wouldn’t understand it. When he went to Fujing, he would have time to coax him. His reaction shouldn’t be too fierce.

Children were generally curious about the new environment. When he held the child and looked around the new home, his attention would be more focused on the new environment.

However, old man Shen found that his idea was totally wrong.

At first, Shen Laozi sat in the living room with his grandson in his arms. The servants watched as the people of the moving company came in to pack and carry things. At the beginning, Shen Sui, who was held in his arms, was still very quiet. His little face was taut and expressionless.

Except for pointing to the wall clock at one o’clock and saying the word ‘Huai’ to him in a soft voice, he could not make a sound.

But after ten minutes, the child looked up at the clock from time to time, and began to wriggle and struggle restlessly in the arms of Mr. Shen, while making noises, “Huai, want Ah Huai.”

“Darling, we’ll go later”. Xiaosui would sleep for a while. When he woke up, they would be at their destination, Mr Shen told his son a lie. From old man Shen’s point of view, it was a white lie.

Shen Sui didn’t sleep with his eyes closed obediently. He still looked at the clock from time to time and stared at the time pointed up in the clock silently. In addition to paying attention to the time, Shen Sui also paid attention to the strangers who came to his home.

When watching these people pack up some things in their home and move them out one after another, he didn’t know which nerve was touched by the scene or what he realized. The child’s eyes suddenly turned red and struggled to repeat the words to Mr. Shen with a louder voice than before: “Ah Huai!”

Listening to the voice Shen Laozi feel heartache, had to hurry to take out a paper towel to wipe the boy’s tears. But when he saw the tears, he had to try to turn around and say all kinds of good words. “We’re going to go to another place soon. Today, we’re moving to a new house. It’s better than here. How about Grandpa take you to see the new house?”

“There will be many children like Xiao Huai playing with you”, old man Shen said to Shen Sui in his arms.

After such coaxing, old man Shen found that the child he was holding didn’t stop crying, but he still wailed loudly.

For the first time, he found that his grandson could cry so much. He couldn’t wipe his face as fast as he cried.

Now, old man Shen was so worried that he felt that he had grown more white hair.

“Chirp, ah Huai… ” He couldn’t hold his breath when he cried, but he still remembered to say this sentence. Looking at the baby who cried so loudly for the first time in his arms since when he was born, Mr. Shen was heartbroken and helpless. Soon, he would hold the other and get on the plane. But why was he crying so loud?

Shen Sui understood the word ‘moving’.

Because he understood it and the child who had just watched the moving company had no reason to realize it, he was crying very hard now. Crying was the only way for the young child to resist.

At this time, a servant walked in from the door and went to Mr. Shen’s side to report in a low voice, “Mr. Gu has arrived with his little grandson.”

Listening to this sentence, Mr. Shen immediately felt that a savior had come.

The eyes of the child held in old man Shen’s arms had been red for a long time. The black eyes were now wet. One by one, his tears were falling. It barely stopped when he saw the people.

The crying was not so fierce. Ordinary people were the ugliest when they cried, but the child in old man Shen’s arms was very beautiful. Even when he cried like this, he looked pitiful and lovely.

The cry of the child gradually stopped when the master of Gu’s family held Gu Huai, the tears still rolled down pitifully, but his wet eyes were now staring at the people approaching.

Gu Huai asked his grandfather to take him to the Shen family. He was too headstrong to not ask. Gu Huai thought he needed to tell his family’s ChuChu goodbye.

After getting close, Gu Huai stuffed a cashmere doll into Shen Sui’s hand, then added a peck on the other’s tear soaked cheek, “Grow up and find me.”

Early wisdom was also limited. Gu Huai controlled this. For the time being, he did not use complicated sentences in his speech, and chose what his grandfather said to him.

This promise of appeasement was almost immediately effective. The child with a wet mark on his cheek hugged the plush doll that Gu Huai gave him. After barely stopping to take a breath, he looked at his Ah Huai with tearful red eyes and nodded obediently.

Looking at this scene, Mr. Shen almost felt like the evil queen who broke up the Cowherd and the weaver girl. Think about that although it was not a cowherd or a weaver, it was also hard to break up a couple of children with deep feelings.

It took about an hour to get to the airport. The driver arrived at the airport according to the schedule. Mr Shen successfully took his grandson and boarded the scheduled flight.

In the seat of the plane, old man Shen held Shen Sui, while the child held a plush doll tightly in his arms.

It was Shen Sui’s current understanding that he was going to a place where there was no Ah Huai. The plush doll he was holding was given to him by the other. He needed to keep it well.
