Chapter 1508: Chapter 1506: Playing Chess
Yang Chen walked down and came over to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin handed the phone to Yang Chen and said, "I found him. This person is called Zhuo Bufan. He’s currently in the defense zone and planning to climb higher."
Yang Chen glanced at Zhuo Bufan’s information, returned the phone to Ye Xin, and said, "Forget about him for now! Uncle Zhuo has his own plans. As long as this Zhuo Bufan doesn’t do anything stupid, Uncle Zhuo won’t treat him badly. But if he acts recklessly, no one can save him!"
Ye Xin nodded, "Understood!"
In the afternoon, Elder Zhuo finally woke up leisurely.
Elder Zhuo came downstairs and felt embarrassed when he saw Yang Chen and Ye Xin playing chess, "How did I fall asleep?"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Isn’t it nice to fall asleep? A comfortable nap, how great!"
"You’re right!" Elder Zhuo stretched his muscles and felt completely refreshed, "So comfortable! I’ve never slept so well before. I have to admit, your massage skills are quite good!"
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Of course, I trained in real situations!"
"I won!" Ye Xin giggled, taking advantage of Yang Chen’s distraction to seal his last escape route.
"Impossible!" Yang Chen laughed arrogantly, "You can beat me? No one’s beaten me yet!"
With that, he looked down to examine the situation.
Elder Zhuo also enjoyed playing chess and came over to observe the situation.
The two frowned as they watched.
Ye Xin’s black pieces were like a fierce Jiao Long, aggressively swallowing the white pieces, surrounding and making it difficult to counterattack.
To be precise, the outcome was already determined.
The white pieces had lost!
After watching for a long time, Yang Chen and Elder Zhuo couldn’t find a way to break the deadlock.
"I’m done playing! This game doesn’t count, I wasn’t playing seriously!" Yang Chen decided to play the fool.
With that, Yang Chen swiped his hand, messing up the whole board.
Immediately, a cold gaze shot at Yang Chen’s face.
At that moment, a chill ran through Yang Chen’s body.
He clearly felt the fierce killing intent!
"What did you say just now? Say it again!" Ye Xin’s cold eyes stared at Yang Chen, her voice carrying a chill.
Yang Chen’s mouth trembled a bit, and he stuttered, "Um... I just..."
Smack!
Elder Zhuo slapped the back of Yang Chen’s head and scolded, "If you lost, you lost! A grown man, can’t you accept losing? And you’re trying to cheat?"
Yang Chen clutched the back of his head, looking at Elder Zhuo with grievance.
Elder Zhuo ignored Yang Chen and said sternly, "A loss is a loss; you must have the courage to admit it! You deserve the beating!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhuo, you’re absolutely right! Humph!" Ye Xin applauded Elder Zhuo and gave Yang Chen a disdainful snort.
Yang Chen felt quite helpless.
Now he realized that everyone around him had been won over by Ye Xin!
Yang Chen said defiantly, "I don’t accept this! Let’s go for another round if you dare!"
"Sure!" Ye Xin was full of fighting spirit, "Who’s afraid of who!"
"I’ll help you!" Elder Zhuo immediately pulled over a chair and sat down.
Yang Chen looked at Elder Zhuo in frustration, "This isn’t fair!"
Elder Zhuo was a seasoned chess player, Yang Chen couldn’t handle him, not to mention Ye Xin.
Elder Zhuo said irritably, "You’re playing against a young woman, and you still talk about fairness! I will assist Xiaoxin against you. Nothing you say will change it! Didn’t you say that no one can beat you? Now’s the time to show off your skills!"
"I..." Yang Chen felt like crying.
"Let’s play! Hurry up and pick your pieces!" Elder Zhuo urged.
Reluctantly, Yang Chen was pushed into a corner and could only brace himself to compete against them.
This time, Yang Chen held the black pieces, while Ye Xin took the white.
It was almost one-sided, Yang Chen was beaten down thoroughly.
In the end, he only had a few lonely pieces left on the board.
"Alright! I surrender, I lost!" Yang Chen admitted defeat completely.
"Hehe!" Ye Xin seemed very happy, caught up in the joy of her victory.
Elder Zhuo continued to criticize beside them, "You! Your technique is too poor, you need more practice. Stop bragging! If you don’t improve, don’t make a fool of yourself!"
Yang Chen was on the verge of tears; it wasn’t fair!
He had been criticized so thoroughly.
At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Uncle Zhuo? Are you home?"
As they spoke, the person had already walked in.
"My nephew!" Elder Zhuo stood up and shouted toward the outside, "Bufan! I’m home, come in quickly!"
"Uncle Zhuo, look at what I’ve brought for you today!" Zhuo Bufan raised the water tank in his hand.
Seeing the fish swimming in the water, Elder Zhuo’s eyes widened, "This... is this!"
Zhuo Bufan walked in and suddenly realized there were other people in the room!
His gaze swept over Yang Chen and instantly settled on Ye Xin, staring straight at her.
"So beautiful!" Zhuo Bufan was sure he had never seen such a beautiful woman!
If not for marrying early, he would definitely pursue this woman madly!
Even now, being married doesn’t mean it’s impossible!
Immediately, Zhuo Bufan walked over and reached out to Ye Xin, "Hello, I’m Zhuo Bufan, Elder Zhuo’s nephew, and you are..."
Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen awkwardly, then reluctantly shook hands with Zhuo Bufan for Elder Zhuo’s sake, "Ye Xin."
"Ye Xin? What a lovely name!" Zhuo Bufan wanted to hold Ye Xin’s hand, but Ye Xin withdrew immediately, not giving him a chance.
Seeing this, Elder Zhuo frowned and called out, "Bufan, come over right now. I’ll introduce everyone later; show me the fish first!"
"Oh, oh! Okay!" Zhuo Bufan unwillingly removed his gaze from Ye Xin and came to Elder Zhuo.
From the beginning to end, his gaze never lingered much on Yang Chen.
Zhuo Bufan held the small case and asked Elder Zhuo, "Uncle Zhuo, take a look. Do you recognize this?"
"Of course, I recognize it!" Elder Zhuo got excited upon seeing it clearly but didn’t reveal what kind of fish it was; instead, he asked Yang Chen, "Xiaochen, come over and see if you recognize this fish."
Only then did Zhuo Bufan pay attention to Yang Chen.
Because now it seemed that Elder Zhuo valued Yang Chen highly.
Yang Chen walked over, looked at the fish, and said, "This should be the white variant of the yellow triangle tang, pretty rare!"
"Exactly, exactly!" Elder Zhuo marveled, "I didn’t expect you actually knew, you have good knowledge of this!"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "I spent some time in the tropics before, this originates from the Celestial Ocean and Pal Ocean, I’ve seen quite a few before."
"Seen quite a few?" Zhuo Bufan sneered, "This is a variant, very precious! Precious means scarcity; I spent a lot of effort to get it, and you say you’ve seen it! It must have been in an aquarium or on a book!"
Yang Chen shook his head with a light smile, ignoring Zhuo Bufan’s taunt.
"How much did it cost?" Elder Zhuo asked directly.
Zhuo Bufan suddenly looked embarrassed, "Uncle Zhuo, I’m not here to sell fish!"
"Just tell me how much!"
