Chapter 386 Deception
Della played chess for almost the entire day. She lost the first few games when she was given handicap, but she learned some new skills every time she won or lost. Then, starting from the first game of equal competition, she won every time, and her advantage became bigger and bigger at the end of each game.
Towards evening, Zhou Yushi was sent over to look after the children, who had not even had lunch at the table and had just had some food delivered to them to feed the couple. He opened the door without hiding his movements, but no one noticed him.
Zhou Yushi glanced inside and heard the sound of jade pieces rolling down. He couldn't help but feel surprised. He knew that Xiaoming loved playing chess and never accepted defeat, but after these few years, everyone knew that they shouldn't accompany her too much.
He walked over and saw the five furry heads distributed like this: Della was sitting alone on the west side, Tang Ming and Tang Ming were sitting cross-legged on the east side, it was actually a two-on-one game, Tang Ming and Tang Ming, who were not very good at chess, moved two chairs and sat on the north side to watch the game.
Zhou Yushi came closer, but still no one paid attention to him, so he just stood aside and watched quietly for a while. The person involved is confused, but the bystander can see clearly. After a few glances, he could see that the two black pieces of the Tang family were already in a state of decline, and they would be defeated in just a few moves.
"Have you learned this before, Della?" Zhou Yushi admired the meticulous layout. He felt that Della was just like the white piece on the chessboard. Everything she did was either done secretly or with an open strategy that forced her to succeed. She was both scary and respectable.
"No, it's my first time playing today," Della shook her head and calmly began to close the net, "But Go is really interesting. I think I'm going to like this game."
"One day, one day like this," the next one was Tang Yu. When Tang Yu looked up at Zhou Yu, he shook his head and said in a tone of regret for himself, "Where did you bring this treasure back from, big brother?"
Tang Yu looked over at him and thought that his fifth brother's words were frivolous. Zhou Yushi reached out to Tang Yu, inserted his five bony fingers into his smooth hair, and twisted Tang Yu's head to turn his eyes back to the chessboard. "It's better to think about this. You guys fooled around at noon. We must eat together in the evening. If you can't win this game, you will be laughed at to death."
"Stop talking, big brother," Tang Ming dropped a child, she turned her head, her eyes full of heroic spirit, "I laugh at myself, I just laugh when others laugh."
"Oh, the sun is rising from the west?" Zhou Yushi looked at Tang Ming in surprise, "Xiao Ming is so easy to give in now?"
"She was subdued," Tang Yu interrupted, "She just accepted her fate when she lost more and more miserably."
Tang Ming snorted, and rarely did she quarrel with her brother. She turned her head and continued to look at the chess game.
Della put the white piece down, and the encirclement and suppression of the black piece began from this step. The victory or defeat was decided at this moment, so she looked up at Tang Ming, "Still playing, Ming? Let's go eat first?"
"Let's admit defeat," Tang Ming said simply, "Let's go eat first, and I'll come play chess with you later, Della."
"I'm not hosting you to play chess with you," Zhou Yushi said before Della nodded in response. He waved his hand and asked the group of troublesome children to leave first. "Go quickly. If your uncles and aunts don't see you again, every courtyard will be in chaos tonight."
Everyone filed out at once. Tang Ming had deliberately walked slowly, wanting to chat with Della on the way. She was completely in love with this girl now. However, Zhou Yushi not only firmly occupied the seat next to Della, but also patted her on the shoulder and asked her to go away quickly, saying, "Isn't it enough that you've been clinging to me for a whole day?" Tang Ming had no choice but to follow the other two fifteen or sixteen-year-olds in front of her and left first while making a fuss.
However, there is one more.
Zhou Yushi glanced sideways at Tang Yun, who was walking slower than usual beside him. The meaning in his eyes was obvious - what are you doing here so slowly?
"Um, I'm sorry today," Tang Yun, who had been keeping a low profile for the whole day, finally got a little aggressive and started a conversation with Della. "I'm sorry that they kept you bothered for the whole day."
"You're telling me now after you've pestered me? If Belinda were here, she would definitely say something to you," Zhou Yushi also waved his hand at him, "Go away, Second Uncle hasn't seen you for a day, go away."
"It's okay, I had a lot of fun today," Della said with a smile that was almost too polite. "See you later, Yu."
When Della's dark eyes looked at him, Tang Ming immediately felt uncomfortable again. He tilted his head slightly to the side and said softly, "Goodbye." Then he ran away.
"Do you have anything to say to me, Zhou?" After Tang Yu's back became farther and smaller, Della spoke to Zhou Yu in a casual tone.
"Do you think you can live a little longer now?" Zhou Yushi said as he walked, with a calm look on his face.
"......" Della, who was following behind, stopped and frowned. She looked up at Zhou Yu who turned around with caution, "Why do you ask?"
"A good doctor can see the problem at a glance. My grandfather is such a doctor," Zhou Yushi explained. "I think you are actually aware of your problem. The unresolved worries have already greatly affected your health."
"Why do you want to treat me?" Della was still on guard. She said bluntly, "I must be the trouble you want to get rid of."
"Do you believe in fate, Riddle?" Under the red and purple sunset, Zhou Yushi's usual tone became inexplicably profound.
"Fate? Some things inherited are destined to lead to a certain end. I don't think it's fate, it's just a rule." Della said. She actually agreed that descendants who enjoyed illegal benefits were tainted with original sin.
"Life is very complicated, and there is no way to generalize it. Now, you are talking about the past life, and I am talking about the future life," Zhou Yushi was still so calm. Although he was not very old, he looked like a hermit at this moment. "Your future is destined to be a life that should not end at this moment."
"You are fooling me," said Della, who had dealt with the Riddler Dumbledore many times. She sighed, "Stop the detour and tell me your motive and method directly."
"Can you be more like a child? That was so boring just now," Zhou Yushi said helplessly, and sighed. "I'm not just kidding you. Fortune-telling is an important part of your family now, and your fate is worth studying. People are also looking forward to its final direction."
"Why is it worth studying?" asked Della, who likes to delve into the things she handles.
"To put it simply, your life is very valuable, but the parasites in your body have become a factor that suppresses you. This is rare," Zhou Yushi condensed Tang Xueji's long paragraph of sour words into one sentence, "But this is what I can see from you, but I can't tell who it is. Do you have any clues?"
"......" Della changed the subject, "What's the way for me to survive?"
"See a doctor and follow his orders. Otherwise, I told you that grandpa is a doctor, a very respected one. He used to be a military doctor," Zhou Yushi raised his eyebrows and shrugged, as if it was a matter of course. "Young man, if you are sick, you must see a doctor and don't think of shortcuts."
"......" Della turned her head to look at him, feeling that she was being teased, she pursed her lips and said nothing more.
