Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Greeting_1
Upon hearing that they were all supposed to go, Mi Yuezhen quickly became agitated, grabbing Nan Fei’s arm, “We’re not going. You can go yourself!”
Nan Fei tried to pull her arm away, but Mi Yuezhen only tightened her grip, leaving Nan Fei with a puzzled look on her face.
Gongxi Yunqi was confused, “Don’t you greet your grandfathers when you see them?”
“I see them every day. Why would I need to greet them? You go! Go and come back quickly, we’re hungry.”
As Gongxi Yunqi walked over rapidly, the two old men were engrossed in a heated game of chess, “Mr. Mi, Grandpa Dai, why are you playing chess here?” Usually, they played in the small courtyard because they said it was too noisy outside to focus.
“We’re waiting for someone!” Mr. Mi slapped his hand on the chessboard, scattering the chess pieces, much to Dai Jinhai’s chagrin.
“Come on, Old Mi, don’t you have any dignity? As soon as you see you’re about to lose, you pull a stunt ? Is this any way for a person to behave?”
“I’m really sorry! I just got excited when I saw the Gongxi kid! I didn’t do it on purpose.” Old Mi grinned, refusing to admit he’d done it purposely.
Dai Jinhai didn’t bother to argue, he simply packed up the chessboard and refused to entertain another round of the game. Regardless of the number of rounds, Old Mi was no match for him.
“What brings you here? Did you come to call your mother home?”
“No, I went out for breakfast with my classmates.” Gongxi Yunqi nodded towards the two people standing not far away.
“Oh? Didn’t Yuezhen eat at home this morning?” Old Mi unknowingly let out a piece of information he was not supposed to.
“Who’s that pretty girl? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.” Dai Jinhai asked.
“She’s my current classmate.”
On hearing this, Old Mi quickly turned his head to take a look, careful not to stare at the young girl impolitely, and immediately turned his head away after a glance.
“Indeed, she’s quite beautiful! My granddaughter must be foolish, right? She’s not as pretty but insists on standing next to a beautiful person. Neither her facial features nor her height can compare, not to mention she’s not as thin. How can she be so blind? If I were her, I would keep a distance.”
It’s one thing to have a keen aesthetic sense as an artist, but why such sharp tongues too?
Dai Jinhai was speechless, “You are the one who really lacks common sense.”
“Where did I go wrong? If you can’t win in chess, don’t resort to hitting below the belt. You’re just jealous of my talent.”
“You? Jealous of you? Can’t beat you in chess?” Dai Jinhai pointed at his nose unbelievingly, “With your awful chess skills, even if I give you a three-step head start, you’re still no match for me. I’m superior in every way, more talented, more artistic, and more gifted.”
“Ha ha… You got that right! If there’s one place where you surpass me, it’s boasting. Who can compete with your bullshitting skills? Old Yu Jingyi would drop dead every time.”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Gongxi Yunqi hurried to make peace, “Can you two please stop arguing? If people see you fighting in the square, it would be quite embarrassing.”
It was not uncommon for the two old men to fight, and he could still vividly recall the first time he witnessed them fighting. It was a sight so shocking he could barely watch!
Who could have imagined that respected painters and art professors would engage in physical fights?
