"You..." Xue Qingcheng saw the smug look on my face and could not help growing flustered. With a wave of her hand, she restored the chessboard to its original state, then looked at me and said, "Another game! You go first."
I looked at her, casually took out a chess piece, and placed it on the board. Her competitive streak had not appeared only recently. I had to let her win a game too, or this would never end. Besides, this scene was almost identical to when we had first arrived in the Ancient God Realm, so I smiled and said, "Qingcheng, do you still remember? Back when we first came to the Ancient God Realm, we often played chess aboard the flying ship. We both understood each other's playing styles to a certain extent."
Xue Qingcheng froze for a moment, her brows furrowing as she tried to recall the past. I knew remembering those things was painful for her, so I continued, "Back then, I always lost to you. Your style was meticulous, nourishing things silently like spring rain, until your opponent lost without realizing it."
Seeing her brows knit together again, I could not help reaching out to smooth them. She instinctively dodged and said, "Chief Xia, please show some restraint."
I smiled and said, "Then what else do you remember? There must be one or two things you can recall from back then, like those things that influence you imperceptibly."
After hearing that, a faint blush suddenly flashed across her face, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and said, "I remember nothing."
"You can't even remember the child?" I asked with a bitter smile. Xue Qingcheng immediately fell silent. In fact, the child had spent no small amount of time with her during this period.
