A few days ago, the snow fell heavily. The air was cold, and despite the daily sunny days, the snow on the mountains outside the city remained unmelted. Only the main road, frequented by carts, horses and pedestrians, had little snow left on the surface, making it easier to travel, not too slippery.
The Mei Mountain Villa is fifty miles from the Capital City, not exactly close, the carriage ride took over an hour.
Su Rong and Ye Guixue played chess. Their games were always fiercely contested, so engrossing that they forgot about their surroundings. By the time the carriage arrived at the foot of Mei Mountain Villa, they had played countless rounds, and every game ended in a draw.
With a sigh of laughter, Su Rong said, "And here I thought I had made good use of the chess manual I borrowed from the Buddha Temple."
Ye Guixue smiled, "I also studied that chess manual."
