In the afternoon, Si Yiyan came to the Mo Family to pick up Wen Xinya. He played a few games with Old Mr. Mo.
Si Yiyan's chess skills were excellent, and he fought against the pawns of Old Mr. Mo. They were evenly matched. The two played to a draw and Old Mr. Mo was quite unsatisfied with the result.
Staring at the chessboard, he sighed. "The young are replacing the old!"
Ninth Si's accomplishments in the art of chess were already above him.
For a game of chess to be played happily, his strength must be comparable to his. He could not lose to him and must let him see the clues, but he could not win and make him lose face. He had worked hard on these calculations, the energy he spent was way above the amount of time spent playing chess.
When he was still a student, Ninth Si never felt so anxious playing chess with him.
This attitude was only after he and Xinya got engaged.
