In my first year of school, I took my counselor home

Zhao Wan'er sat next to Pei Hongzhuang, leaning against her, resting her chin on her shoulder, staring at the chessboard with her big eyes, acting as a useless military strategist.

Xu Ping'an was still sitting upright, his eyes also looking at the chessboard with a hint of curiosity.

I don’t know who is more powerful, Sister Pei or Father Pei.

At this time, Song Wanyi walked out of the kitchen with a washed fruit plate in her hand.

"Oh, you're playing chess again." Song Wanyi came in front of them, put the fruit plate in her hand on the coffee table, then turned her head to look at Xu Ping'an who was sitting next to her, "Ping'an, eat the fruit, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home."

"Okay, Aunt Song." Xu Ping'an looked at Song Wanyi, nodded, then reached out and picked up a small fork from the side of the fruit plate, picked up a piece of apple and put it into his mouth.

Aunt Song is so nice, she even cut the fruits for them.

She also asked him to treat this place as his home, although Xu Ping'an knew that Aunt Song was just being polite to him.

But please be polite, maybe it will come true.

"Come here, Pei Pei." Zhao Wan'er picked up a piece of Hami melon with a small fork and put it to Pei Hongzhuang's mouth.

Although our sister Wan'er is basically nine out of ten good at playing chess and can only watch, she is still very adept at playing supporting role.

Pei Hongzhuang opened her mouth and gently took a bite of the cantaloupe.

"Pei Pei, you and Wan'er can eat at home tonight. Mom will make dumplings for you." Song Wanyi looked at the two girls next to her and said.

Although Mother Pei is not very good at cooking, she is unrivaled when it comes to making dumplings.

"That's great, Sister Wanyi. Yesterday, Pei Pei and I talked about wanting to eat the dumplings you made. I didn't expect my wish to come true today." Zhao Wan'er looked at Song Wanyi and said happily.

"You little girl, you only know how to make me happy." Song Wanyi smiled, then turned her head to look at Xu Ping'an, "Can Ping'an make dumplings?"

"Yes, Aunt Song." Xu Ping'an looked at Song Wanyi and replied.

When I introduced myself, I already said that I like cooking, so it would be a bit fake if I said I couldn't do something as simple as making dumplings.

Xu Ping'an felt that he had no chance of escaping this time. It seemed that Aunt Song wanted to keep him at home for dinner.

"Then Ping'an, can you help aunt make dumplings later?" Song Wanyi looked at Xu Ping'an and asked.

"Okay, Aunt Song." Xu Ping'an nodded and agreed.

"I can also make dumplings, Sister Wanyi." At this time, Sister Wan'er on the side also applied to join in.

"I know. You can't escape." Song Wanyi looked at Zhao Wan'er and said with a smile, then stood up from the sofa, "You guys are busy. I'll go prepare the ingredients first."

Having said that, Song Wanyi turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Ping'an refocused his attention on the chess game beside him. Since he couldn't run away, he might as well just watch the game.

After watching for a while, Xu Pingan found that Sister Pei and Father Pei's chess skills seemed to be quite good, at least better than Grandpa Niu...

Uh... let’s not talk about Grandpa Niu for now. It wasn’t easy for the old man either. We can’t always compare ourselves with him.

Moreover, Xu Ping'an vaguely discovered that Sister Pei seemed to be giving in to Father Pei. Of course, it is difficult to see this without a certain level of chess proficiency. At the very least, one has to reach his level, where beating Grandpa Niu is as easy as drinking water, to be able to see a little bit.

I'm sorry Grandpa Niu, I really can't find any other way to describe it.

However, he is not very sure for the time being and he has to wait and see for a while before he can make a final conclusion.

A few minutes later, the first game ended, and Sister Pei Pei won the MVP of the losing team with a slight disadvantage.

And Xu Ping'an was finally able to confirm that Sister Pei Pei was letting the game go, and her way of doing so was very clever. Looking at the look on Father Pei's face, it was clear that he was definitely kept in the dark.

I just don't know if Sister Pei Pei has always been like this before. If so...

To cheer up your old father?

Xu Ping'an glanced at Pei Hongzhuang and felt inexplicably that it was quite interesting.

"Uncle Pei is still better. But Pei Pei, don't lose heart. You almost won this time. Try harder and I believe you can do it next time." Sister Wan'er from the atmosphere group said on the side.

The main goal is to please both sides and not offend anyone.

After another round, Sister Pei lost again, which made Father Pei very happy.

"Uncle Pei is really amazing!" Zhao Wan'er said to Pei Qinghong who was standing beside her, and then turned her gaze to her best friend and comforted her: "It's okay, Pei Pei, you will definitely win the next round."

To be honest, if our sister Wan'er wasn't in this chess game, the joy would be at least half as much.

At this moment, Zhao Wan'er looked at Xu Ping'an, who was watching the chess game silently and had no sense of existence like a piece of wood, and said, "Brother Ping'an, you can also play chess, why don't you play a game with Uncle Pei?"

Xu Pingan: "..."

Thank you, Sister Wan'er.

Chapter 123 Teacher Pei's Ambiguous Actions

Thanks to our sister Wan'er, Xu Ping'an successfully moved from next to his future father-in-law to opposite him, replacing Pei Hongzhuang's previous position.

One step further, congratulations!

After placing the chess pieces, the future son-in-law and the future father-in-law officially started the game.

Pei Hongzhuang sat next to Xu Ping'an.

"Come on, brother Ping'an." Sister Wan'er, who had successfully helped Xu Ping'an take the position, sat next to Pei Hongzhuang and encouraged Xu Ping'an.

Sister Wan'er is still very optimistic about this new player.

"You go first." Pei Qinghong looked at Xu Ping'an and said, even though he was holding the red piece.

He will not bully the weak.

"Okay, Uncle Pei." Xu Ping'an did not act hypocritically and picked up the chess piece and made a routine move.

Pei Hongzhuang picked up a small fork from the side of the fruit plate, picked up a piece of apple and put it into her mouth, looking at the chess board, seeming to be very interested in the game between the two.

Time passed slowly, the red and black chess pieces moved back and forth, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Xu Ping'an was also extremely focused and thought carefully before every step he took.

After all, letting the opponent win is a technical job, and it is still difficult to let the opponent win without being noticed.

It is impossible for him to win. If he dares to kill Pei's father now, Pei's father will make it difficult for him to enter the house when he comes to propose marriage in the future.

However, although he cannot win, he definitely cannot lose too easily. He must make Father Pei feel like he has met a worthy opponent, just like Sister Pei before. The feeling of victory that comes easily is different from the victory that comes after a hard fight. A master will not like to play chess with a bad player.

On the other hand, he also wanted to show off his strength a little bit, to make Father Pei feel that this young man was quite good at chess, just a little bit behind him.

You can put vegetables in it, but don’t put too much vegetables in it.

Chess is like life, and playing chess is like being a person. There are many common principles.

A few minutes later, after thinking for a long time, Xu Ping'an took a direct move and took advantage of Pei's father in an unexpected way, making it a little difficult for Pei's father.

Pei Qinghong frowned slightly, fell into a brief thought, and then quickly thought of a way to resolve this small crisis.

The young man still hadn't thought it through enough. If he had waited a little longer, planned a few steps carefully, and then suddenly used a move like this, it would have been really difficult for him to handle.

Pei Hongzhuang on the side picked up another piece of apple and put it into her mouth, chewing it gently. She glanced at Xu Ping'an calmly, and then continued to watch the chess game quietly.

"Pei Pei, who has the upper hand between Brother Ping'an and Uncle Pei?" Zhao Wan'er rested her chin on Pei Hongzhuang's shoulder, looked at the chess board, and asked Pei Hongzhuang in a low voice.

Our sister Wan'er only knows some basic rules of chess, such as the horse moves in a day pattern, the elephant moves in a field pattern, and the pawns never come back once they're gone. As for the more profound rules, she doesn't understand them very well.

Well, not even a bad chess player.

"My dad has the advantage." Pei Hongzhuang replied, looking at the chess board.

"Oh." Zhao Wan'er responded and tapped her chin lightly on Pei Hongzhuang's shoulder.

Although she didn't know much about chess, it didn't prevent her from knowing who was better at it. Uncle Pei couldn't beat Grandpa Pei, but Brother Ping'an had beaten Grandpa Pei when he was at Grandpa Niu's house.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wan'er looked at Xu Ping'an, who was frowning and had a serious expression, as if he was in deep thought.

Haha, the little brother’s acting skills are pretty good.

Time passes slowly...

In the end, Xu Ping'an lost to his future father-in-law by one step behind.

"Uncle Pei is awesome." Xu Ping'an looked at the chess board with some regret, then raised his head and looked at Pei Qinghong and said.

"Actually, you should think more about the last few steps. Don't be so impatient. We don't know who will win or lose." Pei Qinghong looked at Xu Ping'an and instructed him in the tone of an elder.

"Uncle Pei is right. I did not think enough and was a little anxious." Xu Ping'an nodded, looking like he accepted the offer humbly.

"Yeah." Pei Qinghong nodded gently, "Let's play another game. Play well this time. Your level is still pretty good."

"Okay, Uncle Pei." Xu Ping'an nodded, and then the two began to place the chess pieces.

"Pei Pei, I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?" Zhao Wan'er asked, moving her chin away from Pei Hongzhuang's shoulder.

"Let's go." Pei Hongzhuang said, standing up from the sofa.

In the bathroom, two good friends started whispering.

"Pei Pei, brother Ping'an's acting is quite good. He made Uncle Pei look so stunned. I almost couldn't help laughing just now." Zhao Wan'er said to Pei Hongzhuang who was standing in front of the mirror fixing her hair while sitting on the toilet.

"What acting?" Pei Hongzhuang took off the small black rubber band on her wrist, tied her hair into a ponytail, and replied casually.

"It's about playing chess. Pei Pei, have you forgotten? When we first met Brother Ping'an, he beat Grandpa Pei in chess. So how could he lose to Uncle Pei now? He is just letting us win on purpose." Zhao Wan'er said with certainty.

"Oh." Pei Hongzhuang adjusted her ponytail in front of the mirror and responded casually, as if she just remembered such a thing.

"Hey Pei Pei, what do you think Uncle Pei's expression would be if he knew that Brother Ping'an is a better chess player than Grandpa Pei?" Zhao Wan'er asked Pei Hongzhuang, and then imagined the scene a little in her mind.

I'm sure Uncle Pei must be very embarrassed.

hey-hey……

Pei Hongzhuang glanced at Zhao Wan'er through the mirror and said nothing.

You want your brother Ping An to die.

If you, a little girl, destroy the goodwill that I have worked so hard to gain, your brother Ping An will definitely come after you.

Song Wanyi walked out of the kitchen and looked at the two people left playing chess on the sofa. She was a little surprised, and then a smile appeared on her face.

The son-in-law plays chess with his father-in-law. The scene looks quite harmonious.

"Auntie Song." Xu Ping'an looked at Song Wanyi who was walking over and took the initiative to say hello.

"Ping'an can also play chess." Song Wanyi sat next to her husband, looked at Xu Ping'an and asked.

"I know a little, Aunt Song." Xu Ping'an replied.
