Bai Xianyu did not ask why he was here but pulled another page over. “What about this?”
Xie Xingyun glanced at it and circled a few positions with his pen.
“Here and here are both fine. If it’s down here, it’ll be a two-way block…”
As he spoke, he placed his hand beside the girl’s ear. The faint smell of sandalwood lingered in the air.
After Xie Xingyun explained, Bai Xianyu felt enlightened. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at chess too.”
Xie Xingyun’s eyes were calm. “I am average.”
She added, “You’re better than Xiao Zheng.”
Bai Xianyu was a little excited. She gathered all the manuals that she had yet to figure out and piled them in front of Xie Xingyun.
Xie Xingyun explained them to her patiently. When Bai Xianyu lowered her head in deep thought, he would even bend down and lean close to her head to explain it to her little by little.
After he finished explaining, Bai Xianyu was still absorbing it. She sat on the stool to review.
Xie Xingyun changed the topic. “Xiao Zheng learned chess from me.”
“All, then he’s quite impressive to be able to learn things in this manner,” Bai Xianyu said with a smile.
Xie Xingyun was speechless.
“Xiao Zheng’s writing is also quite beautiful. 1 thought he only knew how to dance with guns and sticks.”
Bai Xianyu looked at the handwriting on the paper and commented sincerely, “He has some style. I can tell that he’s a chivalrous person. Tomorrow, I’ll show him the chess manuals earlier.”
She lowered her head and held the rice paper with her hand. She began to draw the chessboard on the paper with a smile on her lips.
“Oh, then I might have to disappoint you.” Xie Xingyun leaned against her right and said casually, “Xiao Zheng has something on recently and is very busy.”
“Then I’ll ask him when he’s not busy.” Bai Xianyu picked up her pen and was about to write.
Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes and looked at her. “I’m very free.”
Bai Xianyu turned to look at him.
He stared into her eyes. “Actually, you can just ask me these questions.”
The sound of the wind passing by seemed to have been magnified countless times. Every word Xie Xingyun said seemed to hit her eardrums.
Bai Xianyu’s heart beat faster and she did not answer.
Xie Xingyun took out something from his pocket and placed it in front of Bai Xianyu.
Her heart beat faster. “What is this?”
“Food.”
Bai Xianyu unwrapped the cotton paper. It was still peach blossom pastries, but they were much smaller and looked softer.
She picked up a piece and took a bite. The man’s breath caught in his throat.
“Not bad.” Bai Xianyu narrowed her eyes. “Xiao Zheng did a good job.”
Xie Xingyun finally knew what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
Bai Xianyu felt that since Xie Xingyun refused to say that he had made them himself, he must have felt that they were unpalatable and was embarrassed. As such, she did not expose him.
A while later.
After Bai Xianyu ate two, Xie Xingyun said in a muffled voice, “It was me.”
Bai Xianyu looked up slightly, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
Xie Xingyun’s expression was unnatural as he picked up a piece to eat.
“I made them.”
Bai Xianyu looked at his cold face which showed he felt a little aggrieved. For some reason, she really wanted to laugh.
Then she really laughed out loud.
Xie Xingyun paused for two seconds. “What are you laughing at?”
Bai Xianyu smiled until her eyes curved, and her voice subconsciously became much sweeter. “I don’t know either.”
The man’s gaze narrowed slightly as he stared into her eyes.
Bai Xianyu did not move either, but the smile on her lips gradually faded. However, there was some clear moisture in the corners of her eyes. Two heartwarming blushes appeared on her beautiful face, and she looked a little dazed.
He watched for a while.
Xie Xingyun’s face slowly turned red. He coughed to hide it. “Rest early.”
Bai Xianyu stared at his face in disbelief. “Wait, you’re…”
Before she could finish, Xie Xingyun had already disappeared very quickly.
Bai Xianyu touched her face.
He actually blushed.
Could Xie Xingyun blush too?
Was it just because he had glanced at her?
The next day, Xiao Zheng looked at the mountain of tasks in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Bai Xianyu sat in front of the chessboard. Although it was difficult, she still barely won against a few guards. Xie Xingyun stood behind her quietly and watched her play.
Bai Jingyuan saw this scene when he came out.
He frowned and called Bai Li over.
“Young Master.”
“You’ve been attending to Little Yu these days. You should know what happened between her and Xie Xingyun, right?”
Bai Jingyuan had long found it strange, but every time he wanted to sort it out carefully, he could not grasp the key point. It was as if something had been forgotten or missing, and what had been forgotten and missing was the most important thing..
