Chapter 101: To Gain Favor

Although it cost 100 dollars, Lee Minho got what he wanted.

The moment before Han Seungwoo went out, Lee Minho pretended to be resting, hung the towel around his neck, and continued to run forward.

Seeing that Lee Minho was after morning exercise, Han Seungwoo quickly tidied himself up without thinking about it, and then went out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw that familiar figure tens of meters ahead so Han Seungwoo immediately chased after it.

Lee Minho adjusted his jogging speed, so the speed was not fast.

He didn't look back, but asked the system directly.

"Is he after me?"

The system excitedly said.

"He's chasing you."

Lee Minho immediately took a deep breath, and then tried to make his breathing as gentle as possible.

That way you won't be out of breath when you tallk.

With Han Seungwoo's long legs, he can ran very fast. After a while, he caught up with Lee Minho.

After getting close enough, he ran directly to Lee Minho's side.

"What a coincidence."

Even from brushing teeth, washing face and changing clothes, it only took about ten minutes for Han Seungwoo tidying himself up before going out.

Probably because he just woke up, his voice was a little hoarse. It was a little less cool than usual, and a little more sultry and sexy.

Anyway, Lee Minho was so shocked that he got goosebumps when he heard it.

However, Lee Minho's reaction was still quick. After undergoing systematic space etiquette training before, his expression management is very good.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with his face at all, he is calm as ever.

Instead, he said with a very natural expression.

"Well, what a coincidence, you also exercise in the morning?"

"Yeah."

Han Seungwoo nodded, and then keeps his running pace with Lee Minho.

The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, Lee Minho could only hold back his mouth desperately.

Han Seungwoo didn't know how to speak either, after all the two of them were not familiar with each other.

After running for about ten minutes, Han Seungwoo seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.

He glanced at Lee Minho's right arm, which was still tied with a strap, and asked.

"How's your hand?"

"The straps will be removed next week."

Lee Minho was eager to get rid of the straps that were in the way.

With this strap tied, his daily life is really inconvenient. It always took him a while to things which is a waste of time.

"Hands are very important to chess players. Protect them well."

As a chess player, Han Seungwoo knows how important a chess player's hands are.

Just like now, Lee Minho's right hand is injured, which will definitely affect his game.

"Thank you for your concern, I'll keep that in mind."

Lee Minho was happy in his heart that Han Seungwoo really caring about him.

The 100 dollars are not really in vain.

Despite the excitement in his heart, Lee Minho remained very calm on the surface.

But Han Seungwoo showed enthusiasm that was completely opposite to his appearance.

"What time will go to participate in the competition?" Han Seungwoo asked.

"At 8:30, there was a bit of a traffic jam in Kyoto at that time. I need to be there early."

Although the gamne started at 10:00, Lee Minho usually went out early because of heavy traffics.

Han Seungwoo looked at the watch on his hand, and then said.

"Your hand is injured, I'll take you there."

"Don't bother, my friend can just send me there."

'Gosh, Han Seungwoo actually wants to send me to the competition?'

Lee Minho was so excited and wanted to agree very much. But in order to stabilize his personality, he had no choice but to ruthlessly refuse.

Ask what kind of personality he is? Of course it was a reserved and dignified noble.

"No trouble, your hand is injured, your friend's car is not suitable to take you off."

During their appointment yesterday, Han Seungwoo saw that Kang Taehyun was driving a red sports car.

That is the G310 Lightning King, a sports car with good appearance and performance. But sitting up is not as comfortable as other cars.

Besides, Lee Minho was injured, and once he touched or knocked, it would be even more troublesome.

"You don't have a nanny at home, and it's inconvenient for you to make breakfast. After you go back and take a shower, I'll bring you breakfast and send you to the competition."

"You'll bring me breakfast?"

Lee Minho didn't even dare to think, he came out so early today, in fact, just to test Han Seungwoo of how he cares about him.

Lee Minho was of course very satisfied with the test results.

Sure enough, for a chess enthusiast like Han Seungwoo, as long as he beats him, Han Seungwoo will definitely remember him in his heart.

Han Seungwoo will definitely pay attention to his every move all the time.

However, Lee Minho never thought that he could get Han Seungwoo's breakfast and car ride.

"That's it, you go back to take a shower first, and I'll come over later with the breakfast."

After speaking, Han Seungwoo walked Lee Minho home and ran back immediately.

Han Seungwoo seemed to have decided that Lee Minho would refuse, so he didn't give Lee Minho a chance to refuse.

"Why I'm like this? Is it because he won against me?" He muttered while walking back.

He doesn't seemed to understand himself anymore. He knows that Lee Minho his goal to overcome but something more is there.

It's just he doesn't want any thing right now but to keep in touch with Lee Minho.

Lee Minho stood at the door, watching Han Seungwoo's leaving back, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but twitch.

"System, did you hear that? He said he would personally bring me breakfast."

Lee Minho's voice was filled with excitement.

{I heard it.}

The system covered its small ears and answered nonchalantly.

{Host, why are you so excited? It's not like no one has ever brought you breakfast.} The system asked.

"You're still young, you don't understand."

Lee Minho saw Han Seungwoo's figure disappearing around the corner, and then reluctantly looked away.

"It's not only about breakfast. It's about how much he cares for me."

"The only thing he cares about is your hands." The system pouted.

Lee Minho happily opened the door of the villa, and walked in.

"My hand also belongs to me. He cares about my hand, which means he cares about me."

As for Han Seungwoo paying so much attention to him, whether it was because of him, or because of his chess. Lee Minho didn't care at all.

If you want to attract an excellent person, then you must also have the ability to attract the other person.

If you can't even attract the other person's eyes, then it's useless to do more.

After confirming that the other party is attracted to you, then you have to start, gradually letting the other party really put you in their heart deeply.

High-end hunters often appear in the image of prey.

Lee Minho understood the truth of whether to welcome or reject it.

Kang Taehyun was eating breakfast at home, and was about to order his chef to pack a breakfast and bring it to Lee Minho.

In the end, he suddenly saw that Lee Minho sent him a message, saying that he didn't have to send Lee Minho in the competition.

When Kang Taehyun saw this message, he was shocked.

'Could it be that Young Master Lee is about to abandon me? Or did I do something wrong yesterday and offended Young Master Lee?'

Kang Taehyun thought hard, but couldn't think of what he did wrong yesterday.

So, in the end, he mustered up the courage and called Lee Minho.

Only then did he know that it was Han Seungwoo who will sent Lee Minho in the competition, so he didn't need to go out for a few days.

Kang Taehyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought that since there was no need to send Lee Minho to the competition. Then just drive the Lightning King out to have a good time, and show off to others by the way.

Lee Minho took a shower and changed clothes, not long after, Han Seungwoo came.

Han Seungwoo was holding a five-storey insulated box in his hand.

Lee Minho didn't see it until the insulated box was opened. There are different breakfasts in each layer of insulation boxes.

There are dumplings, taro cake, pork steak, boiled eggs and two bowls of porridge.

"You did all this yourself?" Lee Minho asked in surprise.

"Porridge is, the others are semi-finished products."

Han Seungwoo's cooking skills are actually good but making those small steamed buns is really difficult.

"Well, you really did it in such a short time."

After returning from Lee Minho, more than half an hour has passed. In such a short period of time, Han Seungwoo managed to take a shower and change clothes, so he definitely couldn't do these things.

Seeing that there were two bowls of porridge, Lee Minho immediately thought that Han Seungwoo probably hadn't had breakfast yet, so he pushed one of the bowls of porridge in front of him.

"You haven't eaten yet, let's eat it together."

Han Seungwoo nodded, he hadn't eaten yet, so he sat down opposite of Lee Minho.

Because of his right hand injury, Lee Minho have to use his left hand a lot. But because he not used to it, he can barely even use the chopsticks.

Holding the chopsticks, he picked up a small steamed bun and bit down on it.

Unexpectedly, that steamed bun is soup filled dumpling is so hot when Lee Minho put it his mouth.

"Hoo h0o hoo..."

Lee Minho not only breathed out, but wanted to cool the dumpling in his mouth.

"Be careful, if it's too hot, spit it out."

Han Seungwoo didn't expect that Lee Minho would just bite it down, stood up immediately, picked up a tissue beside him, and handed it to Lee Minho.

Lee Minho put the remaining half of the bun on the chopsticks on the spoon in the bowl. Then he took the tissue that Han Seungwoo handed over.

"It's so hot, I didn't expect it to be soup filled dumplings."

Lee Minho checked the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

"Sorry, I forgot to remind you." Han Seungwoo said a little guilty.

"It's okay, this bun is quite delicious."

Lee Minho took another mouthful of porridge after eating the remaining half. He found that the taste of the porridge was neither salty nor bland, just right.

Lee Minho glanced at the porridge in the bowl, and jokingly said to Han Seungwoo.

"The breakfast you brought is delicious especially this porridge, and you will drive me to the competition. It's not because you want to want to bribe me is it?"

This was just a joke, unexpectedly, Han Seungwoo actually agreed.

"Well, I want to ask you a favor."

Han Seungwoo looked at Lee Minho with his affectionate peach blossom eyes, and said seriously.

"I will return to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and it may take a month before I can come to the capital. So, can I keep in touch with you?"

Han Seungwoo didn't want to lose contact with Lee Minho just because he left.

Lee Minho was stunned for a moment but reacted appropriately.

"Of course." Lee Minho said with a smile.

Even if Han Seungwoo doesn't contact him, he will take the initiative to find a reason to contact Han Seungwoo.

He then wondered.

'Going back to Shanghai? Isn't Han Seungwoo from Kyoto?'

According to online information, Han Seungwoo is from Kyoto!

'Forget it, never mind.'

Since Han Seungwoo bought a house in Azure Retreat even bringing many furniture. That proves that he will definitely come back often in the future.

After all, it was a house worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It is estimated that Han Seungwoo's prize money from all the competitions had basically gone into it.

Moreover, even if he couldn't come back, Lee Minho could go to Shanghai to find him.

Having grown so big, Lee Minho has never been to Shanghai yet!

Soon, the two finished their breakfast.

Han Seungwoo also took the initiative to wash the dishes, and after tidying up, he drove his black car worth hundreds of thousands to send Lee Minho to the competition.
