Cen Xiaosi’s action caught not only the elderly man himself off guard, but even the filming crew who had followed along looked a little confused.

The crew’s original intention was to shoot some casual behind-the-scenes content. There were plenty of snacks around, and doing a little mukbang segment seemed like a good idea.

Who would’ve thought that Si Fuqing, just like the other elderly men, would enjoy standing on the roadside watching people play chess?

The live comment feed became increasingly chaotic as more and more of the “Mu Si”* fans joined in.

*Mu Si is Si Fuqing’s fans.

[Cen Xiaosi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you disturbing someone else’s chess game?]

[Didn’t Si Fuqing say she knows how to play? Our Xiaosi just gave her a chance to show off her skills, what’s wrong with that?]

[Does your Xiaosi need to speak on her behalf? What, did a donkey kick your mouth or something?]

[Yet another one like that green tea* Lin girl. I’ve figured it out—we should actually thank your idols. If they didn’t keep stirring up trouble here, we wouldn’t get to see our queen slay like this.]

*In modern Chinese slang, “green tea girl” (绿茶女 / 绿茶婊) refers to a manipulative woman who pretends to be sweet, innocent, or pure on the surface, but is actually calculating and two-faced underneath.

The old man also looked up, his eyes slightly sharp as they scanned Cen Xiaosi, “You’re quite cunning, little girl. Let’s not even talk about whether this girl can play or not. Even if she can, she’s got a mouth—she can speak for herself. Who are you to her anyway?”

Cen Xiaosi’s smile froze on her face: “……”

She had absolutely not expected the old man to say something like that—so blunt and direct.

Had her behavior just now seemed that fake?

And this was a live broadcast!

Her hand inside her sleeve unconsciously clenched, fingernails digging into her palm.

She could only hope it was still early, and since the organizers had only just announced the behind-the-scenes livestream, maybe not many people had tuned in yet.

But since the girl group Starry Sky Girls hadn’t made a joint appearance in a while, and Cen Xiaosi had only recently heard Si Fuqing’s name frequently online, she had no idea how popular Si Fuqing currently was.

After the organizers posted a link labeled “Click to watch the face of Daxia live,” the livestream now had hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers.

The fans had heard the old man’s words loud and clear.

[LMAO, the grandpa can spot a green tea girl from a mile away. Legend. He’s still got it.]

[Cen Xiaosi’s face turned green on the spot. That’s what you get for talking too much. Serves you right.]

[Si Fuqing’s fans, watch your mouths. You’re all in the same group. What happened to team spirit?]

[LMAO, this group still wants to talk about “team spirit”? Might as well just disband already.]

Cen Xiaosi was the second most popular member in the group, largely due to the CP pairing* she had deliberately built with Meng Xue, so she did have a decent fanbase.

*”CP pairing” usually means “Couple Pairing” — it’s a term commonly used in fandoms to refer to two characters who are romantically paired together, whether canonically (officially in the story) or through fan interpretations.

[Let’s be real, this whole thing started because of Si Fuqing, didn’t it? Why is she just standing there watching people play chess anyway?]

[Academic genius or artsy girl personas are a big no-no in showbiz. Mu Si fans, please tell your idol not to impulsively take on those kinds of roles—it’s a quick path to career ruin.]

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, amused: “Grandpa, you must’ve been through a lot when you were younger. Sharp eyes you’ve got there.”

“Hmph.” The old man muttered, “No use flattering me. I don’t believe a young girl can break this old geezer’s chess setup. Sigh… looks like I’m losing money again today.”

“Old Xu, why don’t you believe in her?” the elderly man sitting opposite chuckled when he heard that. “You really can’t crack this move, so why not let the young lady give it a try?”

Old Xu hesitated.

“How about this, Grandpa,” Si Fuqing bent down and blinked playfully. “Let me try. If I lose, I’ll take the blame. But if I win, the credit’s all yours.”

Hearing that, the old man decisively gave up his small stool. “Alright, girl, go ahead.”

Si Fuqing rolled up her sleeves, sat down, and picked up a chess piece.

Old Xu frowned deeply. “Why are you making that move? That’s a dead end.”

(“Dead end” here refers to a situation where a player has no more legal moves left in chess.)

Si Fuqing’s expression remained calm, though her movements were lazy. She gently moved a piece.

“I don’t like being filmed while I play,” the elderly man opposite said, raising his eyes. “You guys, back up a bit.”

The cameraman had no choice but to move farther away. From that distance, they could only film Si Fuqing’s back.

[I’m dying to know what move Qingqing made!]
[From the way she looks, she seems pretty confident. Is she just pretending?]
