Li Yeqi walked into the separate courtyard where the old master of the Li Family was playing chess with Uncle Zhong under the pear tree. Hearing footsteps, Uncle Zhong turned to look and saw Li Yeqi entering with an unpleasant expression; he quickly stood up and respectfully said, "Second Young Master, you're here."
This was the first time Li Yeqi had returned to the Li Family mansion since he was discharged from the hospital.
Li Yeqi sat down in Uncle Zhong's place, set aside the kraft paper bag, and without showing anger, he lowered his gaze to the chessboard and asked, "Whose turn is it to move?"
"It's the old master's turn."
Li Yeqi raised his head to look at the old master and said, "Grandfather, allow me to finish this game with you."
The old master glanced expressionlessly at the kraft paper bag beside his hand, picked up a chess piece, and captured Li Yeqi's chariot. Li Yeqi, fully focused, engaged in a battle of wits with the old master.
