Chapter 1351: On the Train
On the twelfth day, Qu Xiaoli came over again, bringing a set of cotton clothes for the child.
"Sister-in-law, your needlework is really good."
"Good? My eyes aren’t what they used to be. I know you don’t want to associate too much with your family, and Master Lu doesn’t have any family, so don’t dislike these clothes I’ve made."
"Sister-in-law, how could I dislike them? I’m thrilled!" Du Fengying was genuinely moved.
The group from Capital also boarded the train that day. Yang Run Tai had arranged everything in advance, so they boarded very smoothly. Lv Beiguang wanted to oversee the luggage, but ultimately, Chaoyang went instead.
"Jing Chu, there are two beds in there. Why don’t you come over? It’s especially quiet here."
"I won’t go." Jing Chu gave Chaoyang a side glance.
"You should come over and check it out; it’s really quiet." Actually, Jing Chu was quite tempted.
Chaoyang said this in front of the entire Lv Family.
Lv Beiguang trusted Chaoyang. Plus, what could happen on the train? But he’d follow his daughter’s wishes.
"Chaoyang, why don’t the two of us go over, and you stay here?"
Lv Beiguang laughed, "That works, just let Guodong and Xue go over, and I’ll bring them food."
Chaoyang didn’t mind, as long as he could be with Jing Chu.
There was still one bed left, so Zhang Qiu’e came over. She was nearly fifty, so it wouldn’t be awkward even with Lv Beiguang there.
This made Chaoyang happy. Even when Jing Chu went to wash up or use the restroom, he would follow her,
Maybe others found it annoying, but Jing Chu didn’t, because whenever she went out, someone would try to chat her up, but with Chaoyang there, it was different. He always stuck close, keeping those she wasn’t fond of from bothering her.
Yang Run Tai watched from the side, thinking his little uncle didn’t stand a chance.
Two lifetimes have passed. Anyone could tell, Lv Jingchu was a simple person, to put it plainly, she was a bit inept when it came to relationships.
This ordinary man’s method was the right one; his little uncle simply didn’t have the time to stay with her like this.
He took his brothers and sisters-in-law to listen to Master Shang’s storytelling every day.
Even the two younger ones were completely captivated by Master Shang. This was good. But the female teacher Han Xiangjun found was quite formidable.
It was unexpected that Han Xiangjun could find such a person. It seemed he truly cherished Jiang Feifei.
"Feifei, how about a game?"
"Sure."
Feifei wasn’t with her parents; she was with the Monk Master and her two brothers, staying in the lower bunk. The two of them set up a folding table to play a game.
Their styles were quite similar; both dared to attack and charge forward.
At first, they didn’t even need to think, but later on, it got tense.
Yang Run Tai had a smile on his face; this little girl was really a surprise. Who would have thought her playing style was as bold and expansive as a man’s?
Shang Zhenkun paused to drink water and saw both of them staring at the board intently.
He stood behind Feifei, smiling.
He had immense confidence in his student. There was only one way to survive, and it depended on what move Feifei would make.
Yang Run Tai glanced at Shang Zhenkun with a smile. He too was waiting, waiting to see what move Feifei would make.
In the end, Jiang Feifei did not disappoint Shang Zhenkun. Three moves later, Yang Run Tai lost.
"Feifei, I lost."
"Thank you for letting me win, Brother Yang."
Yang Yujie overheard her brother admit defeat; she couldn’t believe it. She knew how to play Go too.
After looking at the board, she realized her brother truly lost.
Both her and her younger brother’s Go teachers lost to her brother.
Judging by the piece positions, her brother hadn’t gone easy at all.
This little girl couldn’t even make her feel envious. So impressive, she didn’t even know what to be jealous of.
"Big brother, Feifei. Do you want to play some Chinese chess?"
Jiang Feifei didn’t mind nodding; there was nothing more boring than being on a train. She was very familiar with her brothers’ styles. Playing them was uninteresting.
Yang Run Tai was a good opponent. He must have underestimated her at first; otherwise, the result might have been different.
Yang Yujie went to fetch the chess set. She put away the Go board.
"Feifei, teach me. I love Go, but I’m not good at it."
"Sister, I can’t be your teacher. But we can play together when we’re free."
"Great, great, we have plenty of time anyway."
This delicate young lady’s attitude had changed. Initially, Feifei found her difficult to get along with and petty, but after over half a month together, she saw her as just an emotional, transparent girl. She was easy enough to get along with.
The Chinese chess set arrived, and they quickly set up the pieces.
Experts can tell the quality at a glance. Feifei learned Chinese chess too and was quite capable, though Yang Run Tai was very skilled as well.
Shang Zhenkun held a teacup, standing behind Feifei. Yang Yujie was beside her brother.
Both their styles were surprisingly similar, even though they had never played each other before.
They simultaneously glanced at each other. It was truly amazing.
Shang Zhenkun smiled from behind; their similarity was due to both being aggressive players.
Feifei suddenly changed her strategy to a balance of attack and defense.
Chinese chess was played at a very quick pace. In the end, Feifei was down one piece.
"Feifei, let’s play another one. This time you’ll attack, and I’ll defend."
"Sure."
"You two are incredible, especially you, little sister Feifei. I always thought my brother was unbeatable. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone match up with him.
Big brother, you’re much older than Feifei. This shows you’re no match for Feifei."
Jiang Feifei laughed, "Sister, Brother Yang was letting me win."
"I really thought so too, but after that game, I realized my brother didn’t go easy."
This teammate is a real drag. Yang Run Tai looked at the little girl’s face full of smiles, thinking how adorable she was.
The second game began, and four young boys gathered around. Feifei’s style was incredibly fierce and didn’t seem like a girl playing.
Everyone who plays knows that real gentlemen don’t comment during a game, so Shang Zhenkun noticed the little girl from the Yang family looking at Feifei with admiration.
Shang Zhenkun felt proud inside; he taught the game to the three kids. The two boys might not have Feifei’s innate ability, but they weren’t bad.
In the end, Yang Run Tai was down one piece.
"Feifei, you’re amazing. I admire you. You’re much better than my teacher. Next time I’m back in Capital, I’ll definitely have my teacher meet you.
He always thought my brother was unbeatable, but you’re even better.
If he knew you were just a young girl, he’d feel ashamed and keep playing with you forever.
My teacher is a chess fanatic. But his skills are just average."
