[To be honest, some of these street chess grandpas might be better than even top players in pro guilds like Tiandi Alliance. True masters live among the people.)
(Maybe it’s better they didn’t film closely—might save Si Fuqing from embarrassment.]

“What’s going on here?” the host walked over. “The D6 boy group is arriving soon, and the promo event’s about to begin.”

“We were supposed to film Ms. Si’s mukbang,” the cameraman explained helplessly. “But now it’s turned into a chess match. That old man’s not easy to deal with either, so we’re filming from afar.”

The host nodded and checked the time. “Alright, there’s still half an hour. Just keep filming Ms. Si for now. I’ll go check with the D6 team.”

He hurried off to the van and asked the assistant to contact D6.

Meanwhile, the filming continued.

They couldn’t capture any close-up details, but the fans watching the behind-the-scenes stream could clearly see the expression changes on Old Xu’s face.

[Holy crap, the old guy’s eyes are wide open—did Qingqing just pull off a game-changing move?!]
[His face went from calm to disbelief to total breakdown, guys.]
[But it looked like Si Fuqing gave the elderly man some money. Doesn’t that mean she lost?]
[Just look at Grandpa’s face!]

“Thank you for the game,” Si Fuqing lifted her head and smiled. “Your chess skills are excellent, sir. I lost.”

Old Xu stomped his foot on the side. “You were this close to winning! Ah!”

“Very, very good, young lady,” The old man sitting across laughed. “You lost with such grace and gave me respect. You’re truly clever.”

Old Xu scoffed, “Old man, you only won because the girl went easy on you. And you still have the nerve to take her money?”

The elderly man ignored Old Xu and beamed, “Young lady, I’m not good at Chinese chess, but are you interested in learning Go or something like that?”

-Chinese chess

-Go

“I’m just a casual player. It’s fun to dabble, but if I had to learn seriously, I probably couldn’t stick with it,” Si Fuqing stood up. “Besides, I’m a celebrity and pretty busy. I just happened to stop by while filming today—I didn’t expect to disturb you all.”

“No worries at all,” the old man replied cheerfully. “I meant, if you’re interested, I could introduce you to a teacher.”

Si Fuqing declined politely with a smile, “I really don’t have the time.”

She recalled how, just to study medicine under a certain old man, she had to spend three years doing chores for him—playing chess, weeding the garden—just to earn his approval. It left her with a lasting psychological scar.

“I see.” The old man nodded. “Then is there something you do like? If you’re into painting, I could give you some paints. Or maybe a bamboo flute or something?”

Wanting to firmly decline, Si Fuqing said, “I like embroidery.”

“Embroidery?” The old man was genuinely surprised. “Young people your age actually like embroidery?”

Embroidery is an ancient craft, and with modern technology, traditional embroidery artisans have become increasingly rare.

“Good, good! Embroidery it is!” The old man’s gaze was full of appreciation. “As it happens, I still have a set of embroidery threads and needles. Are you free tonight? You can come to my house, or I can bring them to you?”

Si Fuqing: “……”

Why was this elderly man so unpredictable?!

Who keeps embroidery supplies just lying around at home?

“This is my address and phone number,” the old man slowly stood up and brought out a QR code. “You young people all use WeChat, right? Here, scan this and let’s be friends.”

Si Fuqing: “……”

This was not the outcome she had expected at all.

Old Xu quickly chimed in, “Girl, this old man is usually really stingy. If he’s offering to give you something, it’s definitely high quality. Even if you don’t use it, it’s worth a lot!”

The old man glared at him. “Watch your mouth!”

Old Xu just gave a cold snort.

In the end, Si Fuqing scanned the code. Only then did the old man contentedly start packing up the chessboard.

“Wait, sir!” Cen Xiaosi hurried over. “Sir, what do you think of my friend’s chess skills? Oh! I forgot to mention—she didn’t know how to play Chinese chess before. You really should give her more guidance.”

As she spoke, she intentionally stepped aside so the camera could capture the half-finished chessboard.

The cameraman, well-versed in creating dramatic moments, quickly stepped forward.

[Someone else feel like this old man looks really familiar? Has he attended some important event before?]
[So did Si Fuqing win or not? Does she actually know how to play?]

“So scheming, and petty too.” The old man straightened up and glanced indifferently at Cen Xiaosi. “What do you want me to teach her? I should be asking this young lady for guidance. Her chess skills are some of the best I’ve ever seen.”

“As for you, if you don’t understand something, stop pretending like you do.”

With that, he finished packing up and left without a backward glance.

Old Xu also gave Cen Xiaosi a disdainful look and strolled off with his hands behind his back.
