Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 903: Son Playing Chess
"Alright, Niu, just handle things as you see fit; our family isn’t picky about food. However, we have a little child at home, so you’ll need to prepare an extra portion for the child each day," Jiang Xue instructed, emphasizing that while adults didn’t mind what they ate, the child was the priority.
Little Reunion was growing bigger each day, with more supplementary foods to eat, and breastfeeding times were decreasing.
"Don’t worry, ma’am, I’ll prepare everything," Niu assured her. She had been briefed on Jiang Xue’s household situation when she first arrived.
"Alright, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll head out now," Jiang Xue said, leaving the kitchen and going upstairs to check on her son.
Back in the room, Little Reunion was already awake, and Qian Cheng was accompanying the child in a game of military chess. Jiang Xue found it quite amusing; how old was their son, after all, to even start playing military chess? It was unlikely he could play.
With that thought, Jiang Xue walked to the father and son to take a look, and couldn’t help but be surprised, asking, "Qian Cheng, you didn’t help him play, did you?"
"What do you think?" Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue with a face full of pride. He wished their son could play on his own, but unfortunately, that was not the case.
He always thought their son was smarter than most, but who knew he was actually a genius? The military chess set was found accidentally during their move.
So, when he saw their son awake this morning with nothing to play with, he took it out. He demonstrated just once to Little Reunion, and, unexpectedly, their son remembered.
For adults, military chess was naturally very simple. But Little Reunion was just a few months old, unable to recognize characters, yet he could play decently. Could he be anything but a genius?
"Isn’t that so?" Jiang Xue detected a hint of something in Mu Qiancheng’s tone and couldn’t help but ask.
"See for yourself!" Mu Qiancheng didn’t answer directly, instead, he flipped a piece and then captured one of Little Reunion’s pieces.
At this moment, Little Reunion also made a move, mimicking by flipping a piece, but unlike Mu Qiancheng, he didn’t capture the surrounding piece because the piece he flipped was smaller.
Instead, the piece next to it was larger, so he used the original piece to capture the newly flipped piece. Jiang Xue watched, eyes widening in delight.
Her son, only a few months old, could play military chess. This was definitely the sign of a genius.
Mu Qiancheng looked up, eyebrow raised at Jiang Xue, full of pride. As if saying: How about it, isn’t our son amazing?
"How did our baby learn this?" Jiang Xue was puzzled. How could a few-month-old child play military chess?
"You ask me, who else should I ask? I just brought out the military chess, arranged it for a while, played a game, and who knew he’d learn it?"
"Qian Cheng, do you think our son might be a genius?" Jiang Xue’s voice was soft, but her tone was filled with excitement.
She even considered whether to take the child for an IQ test or something. But thinking of the story of "The Young Sage’s Downfall," Jiang Xue restrained that thought.
Forget it, let everything run its course. Whether the child is a genius will be revealed over time.
"Maybe!" Mu Qiancheng couldn’t be sure, so he used the word ’maybe’. Genius or not, he was their son.
As they spoke, the game quickly ended. Jiang Xue saw that the father and son wanted to continue, but she reached out to stop them and said, "Come on, it’s time for breakfast."
