Yun Chi caught the glimmer in Hua Yan's eyes at that moment, shining as brightly as the sun, moon, and stars, her gaze warm like the morning sun of spring, casting a lustrous hue. Her smile blossomed like a hibiscus flower, vibrant and captivating.
Looking at her, he suddenly became a bit entranced.
Hua Yan moved to set up the chessboard and, brushing off the topic, she asked him with a smile, "Do you prefer to play with the black pieces or the white pieces?"
"What about you?" Yun Chi gathered his thoughts and asked with a smile.
Hua Yan said with a smile, "I asked you first."
Yun Chi couldn't help but smile, "The white pieces."
Hua Yan said with a laugh, "That's perfect then. I like the black pieces."
Yun Chi gave her a deep look and picked up a white piece.
Hua Yan picked up a black piece.
The two of them began to play, their postures casual and relaxed, unhurried.
