Bai Peiluan and Ye Baixiu rushed over upon hearing the news. Song Chuanqi, Bai Lanwu, Leng Chenmo, and Tang Zhou had already retreated into the house. Leng Chenmo, not knowing how to converse with the two elders, was sitting in the living room playing chess with Song Chuanqi, per Tang Zhou's suggestion.
In reality, Tang Zhou wanted to play mahjong, and there were just enough people to make up a table, but Bai Lanwu insisted on cooking. Left with only three, he could only sit beside Leng Chenmo and watch the chess game between him and Song Chuanqi.
Tang Zhou had abysmal understanding about chess, but couldn't resist commenting on each move, acting like a master Go player. The actual skill he had was clear to both Leng Chenmo and Song Chuanqi who were playing.
Bai Peiluan rushed into the kitchen, only to find Bai Lanwu chopping vegetables while wiping her tears, but her face did not show sadness but anticipation.
