Shen Shu is also a person who has read a few novels about rebirth through time, and when she encounters this situation, she will definitely not think much about it in her previous life, but now that she has her own experience of crossing over, she will inevitably think about it.

It's just that Sister Hui'er's situation, whether it is a crossing or rebirth or some other reason, but Shen Shu is a little uncertain. However, she is more inclined to the explanation of rebirth, otherwise she would not know that she likes to play chess, but under this premise, it makes a little bit of sense, that is, Sister Hui's closeness to her is what is it for?

Shen Shu is self-aware, if she treats her stepmother as a job, Xie Chang would rather compare it to an employer, and Sister Hui and others are customers, and with her attitude of passively slacking off and shirking her responsibilities and thinking of finding an opportunity to quit at any time, she is destined to be unable to please both sides.

If Sister Hui is really reborn, then her attitude towards Shen Shu is logically best to ignore each other, if she doesn't have a plan, how can she be so close to her?

Then Shen Shu began to think along this line of thought, what is there in her that is worthy of Sister Hui'er's painstaking efforts? Although she knows a lot of things and is practical, it should be called an immeasurable wealth to take out, but these things are not just usable, if there is no certain foundation, it is useless to know. On the other hand, she didn't think she would expose these things to the point of letting others know.

The question went around in a circle and returned to the original point, what is Sister Hui trying to do?

——

Sister Hui said what she just said for a while, she was originally worried that Shen Shu would be suspicious, so she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at her, she was extremely annoyed in her heart, she admonished herself in her heart, thank you Xinhui, thank you Xinhui, God has mercy on you and gave you a chance to start over, but it doesn't make you impulsive, you have suffered so much and suffered so many sins in your previous life, if you don't learn a lesson, this life will repeat the mistakes of the past sooner or later!

After admonishing herself, she cautiously raised her eyes to look at Shen Shu, only to see her sitting on the side of the bed, the expression on her face looked a little blank, Sister Hui couldn't help but pull the corner of her lips and show a smile, she knew that Shen Shu was thinking about things. But after a moment, her smile faded again, turning into bitterness in her heart.

In her previous life, she didn't know Shen Shu, and she always felt that it was because Shen Shu was withdrawn and couldn't please Mrs. Xie, so that even she herself was implicated.

Although the Shen family is not as good as the Xie family, it is also a scholarly family, and Master Shen has a very good reputation, Shen Shu, as the second daughter of the family, is no problem to marry the children of the family as the main wife, but she was engaged to the Xie family shortly after her mother's death, and married her father a year later as a stepmother.

For this reason, Sister Hui has always thought that Shen Shu is greedy for the power and wealth of the Xie family, so she will plan to marry into the Xie family.

It wasn't until later that his father passed away in an accident, and the second uncle inherited the family business, and their family suffered a lot of white eyes and indifference in the Xie family mansion in Jian'an, and even most of the people who served around them also voted for the new master, only Shen Shu treated her unchanged, although her attitude was still indifferent, but she cared about her warmth as before.

She hated Shen Shu all her life, and didn't let Brother Zhen get close to her, but in the end, she was able to live a comfortable life for a few years thanks to Brother Jing'er, who was raised by Shen Shu. After Brother Jing'er died in battle, she was thrown to the countryside by her husband to fend for herself, declaring to the outside world that she was going to recuperate, and then she really died.

In the past, she only remembered Shen Shu's badness, but when she recalled it later, only her goodness remained.

The two of them here fell into deep thought, the Dongqin had already gone to get the chessboard, and the maid who was waiting in the room brought a small table and put it in front of Shen Shu, and put the chessboard on the chessboard and put it on the chess box with black and white pieces.

"Madame, it's already set. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, she came back to her senses, glanced at Sister Hui again, nodded, and only said, "Sister Hui has a heart." "I didn't ask any more questions.

Sister Hui saw that she reached into the chess box and picked up the black and white pieces, which landed on the chessboard, accompanied by a light sound of dada, and gradually formed a situation from the staggered side, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. When it comes to playing chess, her level is really limited, and she can't judge whether it's good or bad, but she knows that Shen Shu likes to play chess, and in her memories of Shen Shu, a large part of it is that she guards the chessboard and plays against herself.

This is the only hobby that Sister Hui knows about Shen Shu, and it is still a guess, because she looks so serious when she plays chess.

Recalling Shen Shu's lonely and cold life, Sister Hui couldn't help but feel sad, her eyes were astringent, and she almost burst into tears.

"But what's wrong with it?"

Suddenly, Shen Shu's voice sounded above her head, Sister Hui came back to her senses, hurriedly restrained her feelings, shook her head and sat up, and replied, "I'll play chess with my mother for a while." ”

Shen Shu was not very surprised when she heard Sister Hui say this because she had a guess in her heart, she nodded, reached out and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and put them into the chess box. The two quickly emptied the chessboard, and Shen Shu pushed the chess box with sunspots in front of Sister Hui'er, "You first." ”

Sister Hui didn't postpone it, picked up a black spot and put it on the chessboard, and Shen Shu held the white piece and fell immediately. At first, the speed at which the two of them fell was very fast, and gradually Sister Hui slowed down, thinking for a while every step she took, and the time to think about it became longer and longer, when she finally thought about the fall, Shen Shu could immediately follow the fall, as if she didn't need to think at all.

After a long time like this, Shen Shu once again followed Sister Hui and left a son, then looked up at her and said, "You can regret the chess." ”

Sister Hui was stunned when she heard this, and after a careful look at the chessboard, she found that the black pieces had been surrounded by white chess. The vast amount of space left on the chessboard seemed to mock how vulnerable she was. In fact, she didn't have much competitiveness in playing chess, but at this moment, somehow, she felt that it was too ugly to lose like this, and after a slight hesitation, she raised her eyes and looked at Shen Shu, and asked cautiously, "Is it really possible?"

Shen Shu nodded, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Sister Hui'er's behavior at all, because she had seen too much in her previous life in this situation, and most of the people who played chess with her were colleagues around her, almost all of them were thick-skinned, and if she lost at the beginning, she would have another game, and then every time she lost, she shouted that she was so good why she didn't win glory for the country while still relying on regret chess, and Shen Shu directly said to them "You can regret chess". After coming to the Southern Dynasty, this was the first time someone played chess with her, so she subconsciously repeated that sentence.

Sister Hui'er got Shen Shu's permission, picked up the chess pieces that had fallen before, changed the place to land, and barely broke the dilemma. This time, she walked more attentively, and every step was thoughtful. I thought that if I didn't win the game, I could at least hold on for a while so that I wouldn't lose too ugly, but before I took a few steps, the sunspot was surrounded again.

Shen Shu still said the same thing.

Sister Hui still didn't believe in this evil, so she picked up the chess pieces and landed in another place.

After this cycle for an unknown number of times, Sister Hui was almost killed and lost her temper, and suddenly heard the voice of the maid waiting outside the door asking for peace. It was Xie Changning who came back.

The two who were still playing chess were stunned, and subconsciously turned their heads to look out the window, it was getting late, and they asked the maid who was waiting on the side, only to know that it was already a moment of unitary time.

The curtain of the door was raised, and a tall and straight figure walked in, it was Xie Changning. With a handsome face and a condensed expression, he turned the moon door and came to the bedside, and when he saw Sister Hui sitting on the bed, her expression relaxed slightly, and then her eyes fell on the chessboard placed in front of the bed, and then Shen Shu was sitting at the end of the bed.

Xie Changning was a little surprised when he saw this scene, but his face did not show it, he looked at Sister Hui and said, "But it's better?"

For Sister Hui'er, this is the first time she has seen Xie Changning after many years, she only felt that her eyes were a little sour, she only nodded again and again, biting her lip tightly and not daring to speak, for fear that she would cry out with one mouth.

Xie Changning felt pity for her in his heart, reached out and gently touched her head, and his eyes fell on Shen Shu on the side, with a slight softness in his eyes, "I've worked hard for you this time." "Not only Sister Hui suffered, but Shen Shu was also a lot haggard, she had injured her body due to falling into the water before, and after arriving in Quanzhou, she didn't recuperate properly when she ran into Sister Hui'er had an accident, and she took care of her day and night, where can she get better.

In line with the principle of humility, Xie Changning said this, even if this is the case, he should reply with something like "This is what I should do", but Shen Shu is a person who is a little upright in terms of human sophistication, after listening to Xie Changning's words, he nodded, but he didn't speak.

Seeing her react like this, the expression on Xie Changning's face seemed to be stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to its original state, so fast that people wondered if they were dazzled. His gaze fell to the chessboard beside the bed, which was almost filled with black and white, and white clearly had the upper hand, and he seemed to say casually, "This is a game of chess." ”

Shen Shu nodded again, still not speaking.

Sister Hui knew that she was this kind of non-talkative character, and hurriedly answered, "I was idle and bored, so I asked my mother to play chess with me to relieve my boredom, I don't want my mother to play chess very well, I can't win, why don't you help me win it back, father?"

Sister Hui thought about her previous life, and the relationship between Shen Shu and her father had always been alienated and indifferent, and later after her father died, Shen Shu was even more cold and lonely all her life. Now looking at the two, I actually feel that they are very compatible, so I want to match the two.

Xie Changning nodded in response, asked the maid to move a chair over, and reached out to pick up the chess pieces back to the chess box.

Shen Shu lowered her eyes, looked at Sister Hui'er with her eyes, and couldn't figure out which one it was. While thinking, she also stretched out her hand to pick up the chess pieces, but because she was distracted for a while, she actually ran into Xie Changning's hand.

Sensing that the touch sensation from her fingertips was wrong, Shen Shu looked over a little dazedly, and found that her fingers touched the back of Xie Changning's hand, and then looked up at him, and saw that a faint smile appeared on his face, and said to her, "Madame, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing. Shen Shu shook her head, her tone was light, and she moved her hand very naturally, and continued to pick up chess pieces.

The smiling face failed to exchange for a smiling face, and the smile on the corner of Xie Changning's mouth was a little unbearable, and gradually faded. The two of them picked up the chess pieces silently, but Sister Hui'er, who was watching from the sidelines, was so anxious that they hurriedly spoke to ease, "Okay, my father wants to help me win it back, if I can't do it, but I have to promise me a condition." ”

Xie Changning nodded, but he didn't take her words to heart, thinking about how powerful a woman can be, that is, she can win a child like Sister Hui'er.

I didn't want to finish picking up the chess pieces, so I heard Shen Shu say, "You go first." ”

Xie Changning only felt a little funny, thinking that she was treating herself as Sister Hui, but said, "It's better for Mrs. to go first." As she spoke, she pushed the chess box containing the sunspot in front of her.

Shen Shu nodded, then pushed the chess box containing the white pieces over, and then the black pieces fell on the chessboard.

Xie Changning followed closely behind. Although he didn't think that Shen Shu could be very powerful, because of his personality, he didn't underestimate the enemy. At the beginning, I didn't notice that something was wrong, but as time went by, there were more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, and when I looked back at Fang Cai's chess path, I found that it was a long-term layout.

Xie Changning paid attention to it at this time, and he needed to think about it when he landed again, but Shen Shu remained the same.

After more than ten more moves, Xie Changning failed to turn the game and was blocked by Shen Shu. The overall situation has been decided, the victory and defeat have been decided, and there is no need to continue.

Shen Shu subconsciously wanted to say that sentence again, but Sister Hui somehow seemed to guess her thoughts, and hurriedly grabbed the words, "Father, if you lose, let's just say it, if you lose, you have to promise me a condition." ”

Xie Changning's gaze moved from the chessboard to Shen Shu's face, and he glanced at her deeply, and then said to Sister Hui'er, "Say, what do you want to promise you for your father?"

Sister Hui smiled with crooked eyebrows, took Shen Shu's hand and put it in Xie Changning's hand, "Mother has been taking care of me for a while, it's really hard, father has to accompany her well." She remembered that at this time in her previous life, her father often stayed in Aunt Zhou's house or study, and almost never rested in Shen Shu's house.

When Xie Changning heard this, he didn't refuse Sister Hui'er's conditions, but just glanced at Shen Shu meaningfully. The latter lowered his eyebrows, and his expression was faint, and he couldn't see anything.

Xie Changning asked the waiting maid to put away the chessboard, and then went to the kitchen to pass the meal, and the three of them moved to the side hall.

After dinner, Xie Changning went straight to the study, and it was not until three o'clock that the lights went out, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked to Shen Shu's house. He thought that Shen Shu would wait for him, but he didn't want to be told that she had already rested when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, so he immediately frowned, stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and finally raised his feet and buried it.

He promised Sister Hui'er, but he couldn't be untrustworthy.

Xie Changning pushed the door into the room under the happy eyes of the maids, did not turn on the lamp, came to the bed in the dark, took off his coat and lay on the bed.

The cold moonlight came in from the window, and by the moonlight, Xie Changning saw Shen Shu roll up the only quilt on the bed, and the whole person shrank on the inside of the bed, like a large cicada chrysalis.

Somehow, he suddenly felt like laughing.

Xie Changning stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Shu with the quilt, and then peeled her out of the quilt as if he was peeling a shell, hugged the person in his arms and pulled the quilt over the cover and prepared to sleep.

Shen Shu was woken up by his action, she could clearly feel that the arm holding her was very powerful, the man's breath filled the tip of her nose, she couldn't help frowning, wrinkling tighter and tighter, until she felt a big hand covered with calluses poking into her clothes, she finally couldn't help it, pulled Xie Changning's hand and turned over and sat up, crawling out of the bed.

Xie Changning didn't expect such a show, was stunned for a moment, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shu had already gotten out of bed past him, and replied lightly, "I'll go to the side room." ”

Xie Changning didn't react for a while, and only after she left did she understand that she was going to sleep on the side, the person who was not angry was also angry at the moment, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he couldn't see it at night.

Xie Changning couldn't bear this breath in the end, got up and got out of bed and went to the side room, hugged Shen Shu back without saying a word, and warned in a low voice in advance, "If you don't want to recruit all the people who are waiting in this courtyard, you can shut up for me." ”
