When they arrived at the small courtyard, the chessboard was already set up.

The chess pieces on it were carved out of marble and very weighty.

“You can go first!” the old man said with gusto.

“Good.”

Huo Zijun took the “cannon” piece first.

The old man followed with a “horse.”

“I’ll show you! Your grandfather is still young!”

The old man laughed, as if his energy was unlimited.

Xia Xibei stood on the sidelines, watching the game without saying a word.

After Huo Zijun accompanied his grandfather to play a few games of chess, the old man finally stopped and shook his head, “I feel so much more relaxed!”

Huo Zijun peeked at Xia Xibei from the corner of his eye, “That’s good.”

“If only it could always be this relaxed! How nice would it be?!”

The old man suddenly let out a sigh.

So much time had passed, and he had finally snapped out of the previous stupor and knew that he was not dreaming now.

That chaotic state before was really too unbearable!

Although he didn’t know how he could be so awake now, such lucidity was rare and precious to him.

“Of course.” Xia Xibei, who had been silent, came up and said with a smile, ‘Grandpa Huo, let me help you with a massage. It will definitely be comfortable!”

The old man looked at Fluo Zijun and then at Xia Xibei, nodding with a smile, “Okay, go ahead.’

He thought that Huo Zijun had brought his girlfriend over to see him and try to get his approval.

The boy had never been much of a fighter since he was a child, although this temperament was created by his parents.

The old man felt bad for the boy.

He had reprimanded Fluo Zhen and his wife several times about it, all to little avail.

Moreover, Fluo Zijun himself did not argue and never wanted to fight for anything.

In that case, what else could he say?

Today, however, Fluo Zijun took the initiative to bring his girlfriend to see him. It was so rare, of course he had to act properly.

So, he didn’t refuse Xia Xibei ^ls kindness and let her massage him.

Unexpectedly, after Xia Xibei’s hand touched his shoulder, he felt very comfortable wherever she touched him, as if the area was dipped in warm water.

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh, then looked at Xia Xibei.

“Little Xia, you’re good at this!”

“Grandpa, she is a professional!” Fluo Zijun said.

“Ok, ok. I know now.”

The old man gave his grandson a funny look but didn’t think deeper.

He simply closed his eyes and let Xia Xibei massage him.

After a few minutes of work, he felt his tense muscles loosen up, and his whole body was light and airy, as if he was going to float into the sky.

“Elder Huo!”

A voice rang out.

The three of them turned their heads to look and saw an elegant, middle-aged man standing outside the door.

“Little An!” The old man was immediately happy. “You’re back?”

“Yes.”

The man walked in with a very gentle, calm gait.

The man was good-looking. Although there were some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his body was still upright, his eyes were clear, and he seemed to have a charm that younger men did not have.

“They are…”

“Come, let me introduce you!” The old man was very happy. “This is my grandson, Fluo Zijun. You can just call him Little Jun. This is his… Friend, Little Xia!”

Then he pointed to the man and said, “This is your Uncle Qi!”

“Hello, Uncle Qi!” Fluo Zijun and Xia Xibei shouted in unison.

Qi Zhi’an looked at the old man in surprise. “Elder Huo, you’re in good spirits today!”
