“Ms. Li, please don’t say that. You and Mr. Xu are both my teachers, I can’t pay you a visit empty-handed, can I?” A male voice sounded out. However, there was nothing special about his voice.

At that moment, Xu Moyan was quite envious of the two children. She wanted to go over and listen to Wei Zilin’s storytelling too.

…

That night, everyone stayed for dinner before leaving.

As soon as the two children finished eating, they got sleepy, so they left right away.

Jian Muhua went to clean up the room for Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan with the housekeepers help. Almost immediately, she hesitated about whether she should get two bedrooms ready or just one. If she asked the couple directly, Xu Moyan might be embarrassed, so she decided to ask slyly, “I’ll go get ready a bedroom for the two of you, is that alright?”

Xu Moyan’s face reddened immediately. Unsure of how to respond, she snuck a glance at Old Master Wei to check his reaction.

Just as she was contemplating how to reply, Wei Zilin already responded with a nod. “Yes, one bedroom will be good.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

Jian Muhua replied with a smile, but as she was about to head upstairs with Aunt Deng, she noticed Xu Moyan glaring at Wei Zilin. “Both of you are about to get married anyway. Although we’re old people, we’re not that narrow-minded. If we insist on separating the two of you tonight, I’m sure Zilin will sneak out to see you in the middle of the night. I don’t want him to blame me for taking you away from him for the night,” she said with an understanding smile.

With that, she went upstairs with a knowing smile on her face.

Xu Moyan’s face was already as red as a tomato. She did not know what to say at this point and simply continued glaring at Wei Zilin.

At that point, Old Master Wei was slightly further away, so Xu Moyan lowered her voice and said to Wei Zilin, “You’re making this hard for me.”

“Third Madam Jian’s not wrong, we’re already getting married soon. Since we’re sleeping together at home, there’s no point in being courteous here,” Knowing Xu Moyan was easily embarrassed, he lowered his voice and whispered back, “Besides, Grandfather really likes you so we’ll probably come back often in the future. Are you saying that we’ll have to sleep in seperate rooms every time we’re back?”

Wei Zilin lowered his head as he nudged closer to her. “I don’t care if you can stand it, I can’t.”

Xu Moyan was utterly shocked at how unashamed he was. Just as she was about to reply, Old Master Wei spoke up from beside them, “Stop acting lovey-dovey over there. Both of you are visiting now. Don’t you know how to spend time with your old man here? Moyan, come play a round of go with me.”

Xu Moyan was already filled with guilt before this, so now that Old Master Wei had spoke up, she felt terribly embarrassed. Thus, she quickly pushed Wei Zilin aside and went over.

At that moment, Wei Zilin regretted agreeing to stay the night. He should have said he had affairs to attend to and was not able to stay over.

Old Master Wei was clearly playing the role of a light bulb.

Some time ago, a set of go had been placed on the coffee table, with the black stones arranged neatly across the white stones.

Xu Moyan started to get anxious. Seated right across the old man, she said shyly, “Grandfather, I don’t know how to play go.”

Xu Moyan had seen characters playing go in historical dramas, and it always seemed extremely advanced and profound. She found the way the black and white stones arranged on the board particularly pretty, and she began to wonder if historical dramas had always portrayed the game accurately.

Old Master Wei waved his hand in an unbothered manner. “It’s alright. Nowadays, apart from professional players, young people don’t play it anymore. Come, I’ll teach you.”

Old Master Wei usually had nothing to do during the day, so he usually asked Jian Muhua to play go with him. However, she was never courteous with him and would reject him immediately with the excuse that she did not know how to play. Even when Old Master Wei offered to teach her, she would turn down the offer.

On the other hand, although Wei Ziqi and Wei Zilin could play, they were seldom over.

Now that he had caught ahold of Xu Moyan, Old Master Wei set his mind to patiently teach her the basics.

On the other hand, Xu Moyan had no choice but to learn. She just treated it as… a hobby to uplift her mind and spirit.

In this game, Old Master Wei played white while Xu Moyan played black.

Although Xu Moyan liked white, Old Master Wei merely glanced at her briefly before explaining, “In the rules of go, black always goes first.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

You had to forgive her obsession with colors.

With that, she picked up one of the small black stones. It might have been because it was made of jade that the stone felt incredibly smooth in her hands. In this weather, where it was slightly cool and breezy, she quite enjoyed the feeling of it on her fingers.

Wei Zilin soon came to join in the fun as he seated himself across Xu Moyan while Old Master Yan patiently taught Xu Moyan the rules of the game.

After Old Master Yan went over the rules of the game twice with Xu Moyan, they began playing.

There were several times when Xu Moyan wanted to take back her moves, but she knew that it would not be nice of her to do so, so she remained silent with her hand balled tightly into a fist.

In just a few moments, the old man had already taken several of Xu Moyan’s pieces.

Wei Zilin could no longer bear the sight of this, so just as Xu Moyan was about to make a move, he reminded her gently from the side.

Sure enough, with Wei Zilin’s advice, Xu Moyan’s moves became more well-calculated. At times, when she was unsure of what to do, she would take a peek at Wei Zilin and he would direct her.

Not long after, the game was evened out.

Old Master Wei instantly started sulking. This proved that Wei Zilin was better than him in go, did it not?

“Shoo! Stop disturbing us over here,” Old Master Wei waved his hand at Wei Zilin and pushed him away. “Moyan wouldn’t blame me if she loses the game. Why do you have to butt your head into our game? Go away.”

Although Wei Zilin did not leave, he dared not help Xu Moyan anymore. As a result, without Wei Zilin’s guidance, Xu Moyan suffered a disastrous defeat.

Just as Old Master Wei was about to clean up the board, Xu Moyan stopped him. “Grandfather, wait a minute please.”

Then, she quickly took out her phone and took a picture of the board before turning to Old Master Wei. “I want to post a picture on Weibo,” she said cheekily.

Old Master Wei snorted. “Young people nowadays, what’s with posting every single little thing that you do on Weibo?”

Embarrassed, Xu Moyan replied shyly, “It’s just that I haven’t updated my Weibo for some time now, and it’s not very nice if I stay inactive for too long.”

Old Master Wei glanced at the board before he gave her a proud smile. “Don’t forget to tell your fans that you lost to me.”

“…” Xu Moyan nodded obediently. After she added a filter to the photo, she posted it on Weibo. “Played a game of go with Yu Linling’s grandfather and lost badly [broken heart].”

As Old Master Wei walked away with his hands folded behind his back, he secretly waved Jian Muhua over and asked her to show him Xu Moyan’s latest Weibo post.

When the old man saw the post, he was content and happy.

“This kid really is honest,” Old Master Wei said with a laugh.

“…” Amused, Jian Muhua was at a loss on whether to laugh or to cry. To be frank, Old Master Wei was not exactly highly skilled in go. He was just good enough to play against beginners, so it was nice for him to be able to regain confidence after his game with Xu Moyan.

At that moment, Wei Zilin was about to bring Xu Moyan to their bedroom when he heard Old Master Wei speaking.

Xu Moyan was no longer afraid of the old man anymore, so she suggested playfully, “Grandfather, I’ll challenge you to a game of Five in a Row next time.”

Old Master Wei, “…”

Jian Muhua and Wei Zilin laughed out loud when they heard this. “You cheeky kid, go look for Muran if you want to play Five in a Row,” Old Master Wei replied with a laugh as well.

“Grandfather, we’ll retire to our rooms now. You should rest early too,” Wei Zilin said quickly, worried that Old Master Wei would pull Xu Moyan back for another game.

“You good-for-nothing chap!” Old Master Wei said with a joking laugh.

Wei Zilin did not mind this comment as he just wanted to have some alone time with Xu Moyan. There was nothing to lose anyway if he gets scolded by his grandfather, so he quickly pulled Xu Moyan toward their bedroom.

Since it was the guest room, it was only furnished with the basics, and there were not many decorations. With just once glance around the room, one would be able to see everything inside.

Having said that, the old master’s villa was more convenient than Wei Yang Garden in that the guest room had a bathroom that was equipped with a shower cubicle and a toilet area that was separated by a glass divider. Although one could not take any baths, it was convenient for the guest to freshen up.

Xu Moyan did not have the habit of taking baths either unless she was extremely tired.

The instant Wei Zilin closed the bedroom door, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her with one hand supporting the back of her head, not giving her a single chance to escape.

Xu Moyan was stunned for a second before her hands instinctively reached out to wrap around his neck.

In his heart, Wei Zilin leapt with joy. Nothing made him happier than when she was obedient and took the initiative.

He lifted her up and placed her gently on the bed before his hands went straight for her pants zipper.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The three consecutive knocks on the door caused Wei Zilin to stop in his tracks.

Xu Moyan blinked slowly before she regained her composure and realized that since they were not back in Wei Yang Garden, they could not act recklessly.

“Moyan, Zilin, you didn’t bring any change of clothes with you today, so I brought you a set of clothes to change into,” Jian Muhua’s voice called out from the other side of the door.

Xu Moyan quickly pushed him away. “Get up!”

Wei Zilin took a deep breath to compose himself. Then, he used one arm to support himself on the bed while he used the other to wipe his face. Although he had already turned to his side, he clearly did not want to get up.

With that, Xu Moyan took the opportunity and slipped by him to get to the door.

Since Xu Moyan was not exactly tall nor fat, it was easy for Jian Muhua to see past her and spot Wei Zilin lying lazily on the bed with a frown on his face. She quickly flashed him an awkward smile that seemed to signal an apology for disturbing them. The second she saw this, Xu Moyan’s face reddened in embarrassment.

With that, Jian Muhua passed her a set of pajamas as well as a makeup bag.
