In the study room.
A chess game, Tang Xi holds the white pieces, Fu Yuanshan holds the black pieces.
Both are engaged in playing.
On the tea table, incense burns gently, releasing a faint, lasting fragrance.
The black and white pieces are battling, as time passes by second by second. At last, Fu Yuanshan sighs, "I lost."
Tang Xi's back is also drenched in sweat.
Looking at the board in front of her, actually the black pieces were not in a dead end, but a tough situation, hard to break free from.
She smiles slightly, "It's because Grandfather you let me win."
Fu Yuanshan laughs heartily, "Alright, no need for formalities with me. Your chess skills are good. I am thoroughly convinced by my loss. It's been a long time since I've had such an invigorating game."
Tang Xi's chess skills indeed are not bad, but she's also not one to exaggerate them.
Fu Yuanshan instructs her to go to the desk, open the second drawer, and take out what's inside.
Tang Xi follows his instructions.
