"Aunt Liu is going too."
Aunt Liu lifted a lock of hair and smiled. "I've got nothing better to do anyway, I'll go have some fun with you all."
Ever since Chen Lin stepped onto the yard, her attention had been caught by the boy and girl on the second-floor terrace.
First it was their looks. They were still young, but that air about them, their faces too, were already otherworldly.
Especially that girl's outfit, it gave her the feeling of flipping through old paintings in the ancestral house when she was a child. In this world, there's always a small group of people who can stay untouched by the grime of the mortal realm.
Then it was their movements. Sitting in wicker chairs, their fingers kept tapping in front of them, as if they were playing some kind of game.
Chen Lin: "What are they doing?"
Lin Shuyou: "Playing chess."
Chen Lin: "Blindfold chess? But the board's wrong."
Lin Shuyou: "They're playing three boards at once."
