Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Su Lingzhi couldn’t see her current appearance, nor did she know if what she said was truly so relaxed. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

"The Shao Ming you mentioned, is he that guy just now?"

"Yes." Zhuang Xiaoxi was surprised, "You don’t know him?"

Su Lingzhi shook her head.

Among the people around Fu Yinli, she only knew one, Housekeeper Zhao. ...

Zhuang Xiaoxi said to her, "I thought you knew him."

Recalling something, Zhuang Xiaoxi apologized, "Sorry, Zhizhi. He came to visit you on behalf of Fu Yinli, and I didn’t tell you. I even kept him outside the door."

"It’s okay, as long as we’re both fine."

After lunch, Fu Yinli forcibly took her away, "Shao Ming will take good care of her, don’t interrupt their flirting."

With these words, the expressions of the three varied, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle.

Watching Fu Yinli walk away carrying Su Lingzhi, the two left in the hospital room were dumbfounded, both wishing they could rush to make him explain clearly.

Back in the car, when Fu Yinli leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, Su Lingzhi couldn’t help but ask, "Are you saying that Xiaoxi and your friend have something going on?"

"How did you see that? Is your friend reliable?"

"Whether he’s reliable or not, can you intervene?"

Those deep meanings came out, as if he were lecturing.

Su Lingzhi crossed her arms and gave a faint snort, "You talk like you have a lot of experience."

With these words, the atmosphere instantly shifted.

She lowered her eyes, not expecting her offhand comment to bring herself unhappiness.

She quietly opened the window, letting the wind take away the sensitive atmosphere in the car.

"Does it bother you?"

"What if it does?" Su Lingzhi replied in a deep voice, "No matter how many exes you had before, you’re mine now, aren’t you? Why give myself trouble?"

Fu Yinli furrowed his brows slightly.

In just under a month, she seemed to have matured a bit, but he actually didn’t want her to become so deep and transparent in the future.

During the drive back,

when they got home, Su Lingzhi asked him, "Do you have some free time?"

Fu Yinli glanced at the time and said to her, "I have a meeting at five in the afternoon, so I have two hours."

"I want to play chess with you."

Fu Yinli looked into her eyes and agreed.

After one round, Su Lingzhi quickly defeated him.

She frowned, "Can you play seriously with me? When you let me win , I feel it’s undeserved and have no sense of participation."

Housekeeper Zhao was making tea nearby, occasionally glancing over at them, and couldn’t help but remark, "It’s already impressive that Miss Su can play Go."

Actually, ever since she nearly fell into the fish pond last time, she started learning to slowly adapt to darkness and memorize locations. If it weren’t for her grandfather, she wouldn’t have known that her memory and judgment of locations were better than she imagined.

"I learned from my grandfather, and I’m not bad at chess. Just treat me like a normal person and tell me where you place the pieces."

Fu Yinli: "If you lose..."

Su Lingzhi interrupted him, "If I lose, I lose. I’m emotionally stable."

"For every game you lose, I’ll get a kiss."

Housekeeper Zhao smelled the scent of romance in the air and discreetly got up to leave.

As Fu Yinli tidied up the chess pieces, he said, "Not many have the chance to play Go with me. Do you need to think so long about such a thing?"

Su Lingzhi gritted her teeth, "Fine."

"The spot for the kiss, I get to choose."

He emphasized, as if predicting that she would lose and then try to refuse him playfully.

Su Lingzhi asked back, "What if I win?"

"Anything you want as a reward is yours, as long as I can give it."

"Is there anything you can’t give?"

Fu Yinli chuckled, "So, have you thought about what you want yet?"

Su Lingzhi thought for a while. Right now, what she wanted most was for her eyes to recover quickly, apart from that...

"If I win just one game, then all your wins don’t count."

Fu Yinli’s dark eyes fixed on her delicate face. For a moment, he couldn’t quite read her thoughts.

Such a good opportunity, and her first reaction was to deny him the benefits he desired.

"Is that okay?" Su Lingzhi pursued.

Without waiting for him to ask, Su Lingzhi quickly added, "I want to be the black pieces."

This determination seemed like she was resolved to win no matter what.

In the first round, Su Lingzhi lost.

In the second round and beyond, Su Lingzhi didn’t win a single game.

His playstyle was full of killing intent, every step was firm and resolute. She had seen many styles of play, but his clever layout and moves were a first for her.

They say a person’s character is like their approach to chess. It was the first time she could so clearly glimpse his deep strategy and outlook.

Seeing her dazed, Fu Yinli reminded her in a deep voice, "There are ten minutes left, it’s time to start the meeting."

Su Lingzhi put down the black piece, feeling dejected, "I lost."

"Your purpose was achieved, you didn’t lose out."

Hearing this, Su Lingzhi’s expression stiffened, realizing he had seen through her intentions. "I... I wasn’t..."

"Zhizhi, there shouldn’t be any tests between us."

Su Lingzhi argued, "It’s just a game of chess, where’s all the circuitousness coming from?"

Then she changed the topic, "Didn’t you want a reward? Where do you want me to kiss you?"

Fu Yinli’s dark eyes turned a little somber, his emotions unclear.

After a moment, his brows relaxed, and he said, "Come here."

Su Lingzhi felt her heart tighten and got up to walk over to him.

Fu Yinli reached out and pulled her to straddle his lap, asking, "How many games did you lose?"

His breath was so close it made her heart flustered.

Su Lingzhi lowered her head and honestly said, "Five games."

"For the first time, you choose where to kiss."

Su Lingzhi was a little surprised, not expecting him to let her off.

After thinking for a while, she grabbed his hand and placed a kiss on the back of it, devoid of any emotion.

Fu Yinli chuckled lowly, "Kissed or not, is there a difference?"

Su Lingzhi argued, "You’re the one who let me choose, how else should I kiss?"

"Next spot, the lips."

Filled with flirtation, Su Lingzhi suppressed her embarrassment and quickly pecked his lips.

Fu Yinli’s voice followed, "Again."

Hearing these calm words, Su Lingzhi’s heartbeat inexplicably began to race, her hand pressed against his shoulder as she leaned in.

But at the moment their lips met, the back of her neck was suddenly held, pulling her into a deep kiss.

The emotions ignited instantly.

Su Lingzhi closed her eyes and embraced him, taking in all of his breath and feeling his gentle presence.

She slowly moved away from his lips, bashfully saying, "Are you satisfied now?"

Fu Yinli’s lips, gleaming with moisture, couldn’t help but curl into a smile as he praised, "You’ve improved."

Su Lingzhi, her face flushed, asked pleasingly, "Can you skip the other two times?"

Su Lingzhi pouted, "Where do I kiss next?"

Before long, Fu Yinli picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom...
