He sat down on the stone bench, tracing the patterns etched into it. "Tingyun, how about a game of chess with grandpa?"
"I'll get the pieces."
Gu Tingyun nodded, fetched the chess set from their pet hamster's room as he usually did, and took the seat across from his grandfather.
The two of them chose their black and white pieces and began the game.
Helian Qiao and Gu Siyu individually watched from both sides, but Little Princess was rarely still.
She extended her soft, chubby finger, marking a place on the board, and said with a crisp voice, "Grandpa Gu, make your move here."
Grandpa Gu placed his white piece where she indicated, which was also where he had planned to move.
Helian Qiao then instructed Gu Tingyun, "Gu Tingyun, make your move here!"
"Alright." Gu Tingyun also placed his black piece where she pointed out.
The grandfather and grandson were both following Little Princess's orders without feeling interrupted.
