Chapter 123: Sparring with Wit and Snowball Fights
Second day, Peach Blossom Plain.
"Little Sister Qingyan!"
"Sister Shen!"
Liu Qingyan got out of the car and warmly embraced Shen Ying, who came greeting, showing no sign of having seen anything out of the ordinary.
Lu Zheng nodded, thinking to himself that this Divine World truly was remarkable, their equanimity was swift.
Shen Ying teased, "Sister, I haven’t seen you for so long that I thought you’d forgotten about me."
Liu Qingyan felt a bit embarrassed, "Please forgive me, Sister, Renxin Hall has been quite busy lately, so I only managed to make time now."
"Then you must keep me company well today, at least three rounds."
"I’ll comply with Sister’s wishes."
The group first went to Shen Ying’s home. As the weather was chilly, chess would naturally not be played in the courtyard. So, Xiaocui set up the chessboard in the side room, lit the charcoal brazier, and then sat with Liu Qingquan, enjoying snacks and tea.
Lu Zheng sat between the two women, pouring water for Shen Ying and serving tea to Liu Qingyan, observing the game without speaking, a true gentleman, only catching the orchid fragrance at his nose tip.
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying settled down to play chess, casually discussing things encountered at Renxin Hall.
