However, they were not studying. Instead, they were… playing chess.
They were playing chess in pairs, either holding white pieces or black ones. They lowered their heads slightly and frowned seriously.
Gu Yundong saw her younger brother at first glance. The little guy was holding a white piece and thinking hard. Opposite him sat… Liu Yi??
Wasn’t Liu Yi an expert in chess?
Yunshu, you’ve just come into contact with this area. Where did you get the courage to fight him?
Gu Yundong stood outside the window and watched as the child held the chess piece and did not move for a long time.
However, Liu Yi, who was sitting opposite him, had excellent self-control. He did not rush the other party and just waited.
On the other hand, Gu Yundong waited for a long time but did not see him place his piece. Finally, she turned to look at the others.
Bian Yuanzhi was also playing chess. In front of him was the oldest student in the school, Yi Junkun, who had identified himself as everybody’s elder brother.
Yi Junkun was very patient. He taught Bian Yuanzhi, who had just entered the school and had a poor foundation, step by step.
He even enjoyed this process of teaching. The last time Yunshu celebrated his birthday, he had taught Zeng Jia and the others very gently. It had almost made Brother Zeng Jia and even Niu Dan call him Teacher.
Now that he was facing Bian Yuanzhi, he used all his patience to tell the guy what to do step by step from scratch.
His voice was neither fast nor slow, as if the wind was blowing. Bian Yuanzhi, who was originally a little nervous, slowly relaxed. He followed his rhythm and changed from not daring to casually place a piece to being able to analyze the situation by himself.
Gu Yundong felt very relieved as she watched Bian Yuanzhi gradually walk out of the shadow of the old Gu family.
She had always been worried that after Bian Yuanzhi experienced those things, he would not be able to open his heart and accept others. He would feel that he was an outsider living under someone else’s roof and live cautiously, not even daring to speak loudly.
Fortunately, with Yunshu around, there were these cute classmates.
When Gu Yundong returned from Wanqing Prefecture this time, she could clearly feel that he had become much more cheerful and confident. Studying was indeed very useful.
Gu Yundong smiled, retracted her gaze, and looked at the others in the classroom.
Other than a few impatient students who scratched their heads and ears and kept moving their butts, everybody looked very serious.
Even though they were not very old, they looked like they were experienced when holding chess pieces.
The teacher didn’t care much either. He was reading a chess manual by himself. Occasionally, he would raise his head to take a look. Most of the time, he let the students play freely.
Finally, Gu Yundong looked at his younger brother again.
Seeing that he finally placed the white piece in his hand slowly on the chessboard, she actually heaved a sigh of relief.
When it was Liu Yi’s turn, he moved quickly, picking up the black piece and placing it neatly.
Gu Yundong thought that her younger brother would probably have to wait for a long time.
Unexpectedly, just as Liu Yi retracted his hand, he heard Gu Yunshu’s clear voice. “No, you can’t do it here.”
Liu Yi was in a daze. He watched as Gu Yunshu picked up the chess piece he had just placed and stuffed it back into his hand.
He could not help but ask curiously, “Why can’t I go down here?”
Liu Yi looked at it carefully. It did not violate the rules. Wasn’t it normal to play that move?
