Chess Piece

Guo Hua and his family stayed at Guo Miao's house.

It was the New Year, and everyone had nothing to do. They started playing mahjong at home. The children also went to find their own things to play with.

Xuxu hadn't explored the entire neighborhood before, so he was very curious. He wandered around and soon went out of sight.

Guo Miao searched the courtyard for a few rounds before she spotted Xuxu in the small park in the backyard.

Xuxu was sitting in front of a stone stool under a tree, staring intently at the chess board.

An old man sat opposite Xuxu.

The old man was wearing a dark blue Tang suit and looked to be in his 60s or 70s. He was hale and hearty, and his brows flickered with the brilliance of wisdom.

Xuxu frowned as he stared at the chessboard. It took him a long time to place a piece.

The old man looked at Xuxu's move and smiled. "Little classmate, are you really going to play this move? You might lose because of it."
