Sometimes we are all in a chess game, thinking that we are chess players, but in fact we are just chess pieces

I may also have the potential to be a pawn

However, you may be able to play as a chess player

"Well, that, Xinran, I'm out, and there are make-up classes at school these days, so I won't be back in the next few days"

Although I always tell such a lie, I don't know when it will be exposed, I can only hope that Lin Yi's matter will end soon

"Oh um, come back early"

Obviously, I really wanted him to stay at home, but I couldn't say anything, like that

I hate myself more and more

I picked up my backpack and prepared what I needed for the next few days, but I almost bumped into someone the moment I opened the door

In front of the door is a strange boy, with a gentle smile on his fair face, and a white shirt that is more clean and simple against the background of the sun, if you want to describe it in one sentence, it is probably 'warm as jade and just like a child'

"Ah, I'm sorry"

He seemed to notice me and quickly took a step back

"You are?"

"My name is Xia Yuan, hello"

He held out his hand to me, still with that gentle smile on his face

He probably felt that he didn't understand what he said, so he hurriedly added, "It's Xia Qing's younger brother"

Xia Qing's younger brother? Isn't it Lin Yi's......

"I ......"

"I know, you're called Yechen."

Well, it turned out that it had been known for a long time, and I took a deep breath, intending to meet whatever might happen next

"Can we talk?"

There seemed to be no danger in his warm eyes, and his voice seemed to have a magic that was impossible to refuse

"Well, okay"

……

Melodious melodies are played in the café, and there is a drowsy feeling

I sat with him

He kept stirring the coffee in his cup, and he looked relaxed, not at all like he was talking to a so-called "rival in love", and he didn't even show a trace of anger that should be taken as a joke

I could only rub my trouser legs constantly, and even though the air conditioning in the café was already 17 degrees, I felt like I was still sweating

"Are you hot?"

"No, I'm okay"

I tried my best to hide the nervousness in my heart

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find Lin Yi to go back, of course, I won't do anything to you, it's a legal society now, do you say?"

"Well, it's a legal society, after all, your family has a big business"

"Hehe, okay, actually I'm not interested in Lin Yi"

"Then you should let the two of us go."

"There's another girl named Xia Qiao next to you, right?"

Xia Qiao? He......

"It's still a little hot."

"Do you want to trade her for your and Lin Yi's freedom?"

"What do you mean?"

"I know she's your ex-girlfriend, so stay away from her in the future, I don't want to see you next to her again, of course, you and Lin Yi won't see me anymore"

He didn't look at me when he said this, just drinking his coffee to himself

"What Xia Qiao wants to do has nothing to do with me"

"Hehe, that's good"

When he heard this, his expression finally changed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, although only for a moment

"But when she doesn't want to do something but is forced to do something, as a friend, I might be a bit nosy."

"Oh? If someone who is incapable of saying such a thing would be considered waste."

He looked up directly at me, and at that moment it seemed that his aura became stronger and pressed directly towards me

"I'm sorry, I probably don't like that word you use to describe me"

I barely managed to pull out a smile

"Where's your family?"

The pressure seemed to be a little more intense, and it felt like he was going to kill me in the next second

"I'm the only man in the family!"

I did my best to squeeze out this sentence

I thought I had lost completely, but all of a sudden, all the pressure seemed to dissipate

He regained that smile again

"Sorry"

"Uh, ......"

His sudden change overwhelmed me a bit

"Reacquaint yourself, my name is Lin Yong, Lin Yi's brother"

"What about you?"

"I approve of you"

The sudden change, I really had the urge to scold, just now I really had a feeling of imminent death

"What about Lin Yi?"

Hearing this, he suddenly frowned

It took a while to say a word

"This matter still needs to be brewed, maybe we can cooperate, are you willing?"

It seemed to be a little late outside, maybe Lin Yi was in a hurry, so I drank the remaining coffee in the cup

The rhythm of the music behind him slowly dissipated
