Mu Tianying walked into the study to find that his grandfather and Wanqing were seated face to face, both intensely focused on their game of chess. Tianxue sat beside Wanqing, equally engrossed.
Walking closer, he saw that Wanqing was playing black, while his grandfather played white. Wanqing's position was filled with danger, intentionally revealing weaknesses to draw attacks while his grandfather did nothing but "water," creating opportunities for her.
Mu Tianying glanced at his grandfather, thinking how much he adored Wanqing. Although a significant part of this affection sprouted from Wanqing's resemblance to his deceased wife in her youth, Wanqing's pleasant nature made it easy for everyone to grow fond of her.
Wanqing knew he had arrived but didn't bother to glance up from the board. She enjoyed the game and thought that she would like to study it more thoroughly when she had the time.
