I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 597 Besieged on all sides
After Su Chengyi stabbed Chu Xuanxuan a few more times with a calm face, people who were familiar with Chu Xuanxuan's naughty temper were already prepared for this kid to throw a tantrum and remind themselves to always stay at a safe distance so that they can hold him down when he gets agitated.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanxuan was surprisingly well-behaved. Not only did he not get angry, he even looked at the chessboard intently, as if he was listening very seriously.

This made the adults who were all in a state of preparation for battle nearby a little confused. They looked at each other, totally unable to understand why this was happening.

Su Chengyi picked up another white piece and moved it to another position.

"When I came here, you should have been able to guess my intention immediately, but you were too cautious and didn't dare to be sure, which made you more likely to make mistakes, and one wrong step led to another."

"The box is like the sky, the square is like the earth. Playing chess is like life. Make your moves honestly and openly, and admit defeat when you lose."

"Don't regret your move. Hesitation will lead to defeat."

Su Chengyi knocked down the last chess piece and spoke slowly.

With black and white alternating on the chessboard, he easily reconstructed the most critical moves in the previous game. The course of the entire game thus became clear, and it was the most effective means of reviewing the game.

At this time, not only Chu Xuanxuan, but also the other people watching nearby inexplicably felt a sense of "convinced" in their hearts.

It’s just like the sect competition in the fantasy novels. The moment the sword energy intersects, you realize that this person’s realm is far above yours, and you are "convinced" wholeheartedly.

Chu Xuanxuan's smooth life finally encountered the first big hurdle, but even he was surprised that he didn't feel angry at all.

Perhaps it’s because the person opposite him doesn’t have any desire to win.

For him, playing chess is just playing chess, without any distractions. From the moment he makes his move, he doesn't think about winning or losing, he just plays chess.

Chu Xuanxuan suddenly thought of the first day he learned Go. The teacher sat cross-legged across the chessboard. He was not in a hurry to explain the rules of Go to him, but instead talked about the history of Go.

This was not a topic that Chu Xuanxuan was interested in, so he listened drowsily and not seriously.

But at this moment, he thought of the poem that his teacher read at that time.

"The white-haired immortal played chess with me, and forgot to return home when the woodcut was all rotten. The sun and moon in the cave passed so slowly, how could we know the prosperity and decline of the world?"

"Thank you, I understand."

Chu Xuanxuan took a deep breath, stood up properly, and bowed.

This scene shocked the Chu family members as much as if the naughty monkeys in Mount Emei suddenly became as well-behaved and obedient as golden monkeys.

In fact, although Chu Xuanxuan is a little clumsy, he is indeed smart. He shows great talent in both study and hobbies.

Because of this, he developed a strong desire to win and a stubborn character who would never admit defeat. When he gets angry, even ten bulls can't pull him back.

Trying to convince Chu Xuanxuan is as difficult as trying to reach the sky by stepping on your right foot with your left foot.

However, the young man, whose biggest prefix for attending the banquet was "the eldest lady's designated boyfriend", did it in just the time it took to play a game of chess.

After realizing this fact, everyone couldn't help but start to re-examine his entire person.

From "a handsome young entrepreneurial guy" to "he really has some qualities that Miss Chu falls in love with."

Such a development was somewhat beyond Miss Chu's expectations. She had not thought so much about it when she first set up the Go game.

"Chu Xuanxuan, why aren't you rolling around?"

Chu Qingmian squatted down, touched his head, and asked curiously.

"Well, Sister Xiaomian, can I still play chess with him in the future?"

Chu Xuanxuan curled his lips, skipped her teasing topic, and asked instead.

"You should ask him that question."

Chu Qingmian turned her head to look at Su Chengyi and curved her beautiful eyes.

Chu Xuanxuan clenched his fists and asked in a fearless tone:
"Can I still play chess with you in the future?"

"can."

Su Chengyi supported his chin and answered as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xuanxuan heaved a sigh of relief instantly. He didn't actually hold much hope when he asked this question. After all, he had spoken wildly to him and had such a bad attitude before.

No one expected that such a tense game of chess would have such a warm and beautiful classic "dumpling making" ending. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles of relief and emotion on their faces.

However, the next second, Su Chengyi slowly added:

"But if it continues to rain like today, there will be no need for that."

Everyone: "."

Chu Xuanxuan stood still and said solemnly:

"Okay, Master!"

When Butler Han came up to collect the chessboard, he also felt very incredible.

The famous little devil of the Chu family stood aside obediently as if he was wearing a tight hoop, and looked like he would obey Su Chengyi's orders.

Unless Su Chengyi used some magic spell or gave him a high-concentration love potion, it is difficult to explain the current situation.

However, when he saw the endgame on the chessboard, Butler Han suddenly realized.

Good man, it must be this Young Master Su who killed him mercilessly without leaving a single piece of armor, leaving the little devil with no other options but to fall to the ground and admit defeat.

However, when meeting the parents formally for the first time, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to not give face to the younger generation?

Yes, this Young Master Su is good at everything, and his brain is smart enough to be listed as a World Heritage Site, but his emotional intelligence is a little lacking, and he doesn't take interpersonal communication seriously at all, and has no intention of cooperating.

As soon as Butler Han had this thought, he noticed the expressions of the other elders around him.

No, they didn't seem to feel embarrassed. On the contrary, they all smiled slightly and looked to be in a happier mood.

Butler Han thought about it and roughly figured out the reason.

Although Chu Xuanxuan is considered a smart child, he has an arrogant and violent temper. If he continues like this, he will definitely develop into a real devil and cause big trouble for the Chu family in the future.

Despite the existence of such risks, people have not been able to do much about him. After all, he is very smart and is rarely caught making mistakes.

The older generation of the Chu family often sighed and said that a child as smart, well-behaved and sensible as Miss Chu is hard to come by, and once there is one, there will never be another.

Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi's visit today accidentally gave the Chu family a severe lesson to this kid.

Su Chengyi was not the type of person who would let Chu Xuanxuan win intentionally just because of "personal connections". He did not hold back in any of his moves, which obviously allowed Chu Xuanxuan, a boy who had been pampered since childhood, to see the cruelty of society.

It would be beneficial to his future development if his arrogance could be eliminated as soon as possible, which is why the elders are happy to see this happen.

Thinking of this, Butler Han felt much calmer when he picked up the chessboard.

In this way, not only did Su Chengyi's impression score not get deducted, but it should have increased a lot.

Although Young Master Su certainly didn't care about these things, for bystanders like them who were concerned about their father, this was naturally a good thing. Thinking of this, Butler Han was extremely grateful, thinking that this was simply the right time, right place, and right people, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at Su Chengyi who was leaning on the sofa.

The latter happened to glance over, so the two looked at each other, and Su Chengyi nodded slightly, as if saying hello.

Butler Han lowered his head and took a breath, then quietly left with the chessboard.

For some reason, after "subduing" this naughty kid, Su Chengyi withdrew from the chess game, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Looking back carefully, it probably came from what Chu Qingmian’s grandfather said:
"Mianmian has already praised you in front of us. She praised you to the highest heavens."

"."

The more Su Chengyi thought about it, the more unsure he felt.

Judging from the filter Miss Chu used for him, her grandfather's words must not be exaggerated.

Such praise is obviously not limited to the field of Go, but may involve everything, including areas where he has only learned the basics.

If before playing this game of chess, the group of Chu family members around were just in a teasing and joking mood, after playing this game, they would definitely start to believe what Chu Qingmian said.

That means——

"Xiao Su, do you want to know what Mianmian told us?"

Chu Qingmian's grandmother said with a smile.

"What do you think?"

After a while, Su Chengyi replied dryly.

"grandmother!"

Chu Qingmian hugged her grandmother's arms and buried her face in her shoulders, feeling very shy.

"That's too much!"

Unexpectedly, before the grandmother who asked the question could speak, the cousin on the other side suddenly interrupted and said:

“And I’ve been saying this for a long time~”

"long, long ago?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back.

This was a bit unexpected. I originally thought that the eldest daughter was just whispering in everyone's ears about meeting the parents to pave the way.

But if it was a long time ago, then this is obviously not the reason.

What is the reason?

"elder sister!!"

Chu Qingmian screamed “Ouch——” and wanted to cover her cousin’s mouth as she tried to reveal the news.

"I agree, I agree. I've heard it all my life, and my ears are almost callused!"

The cousin added with a laugh as he dodged her.

"Yes, if you think about it carefully, it probably started in Mianmian Elementary School."

My cousin pushed up her glasses and agreed.

"Anyway, Sister Xiaomian has been repeating how old I am at least for as long as I am."

The younger brothers and sisters all echoed.

Now that he was stabbed in the back by his brothers and sisters, Chu Qingmian instantly understood what it meant to be "besieged on all sides."

Deserted by his friends and family, the Overlord of Western Chu fell!!!
Unexpectedly, even more difficult things were yet to come, because the elders also joined the battlefield in time.

"Oh, this Xiao Su is the 'classmate' that Mianmian always mentioned in the past?"

My aunt opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief.

The aunt on the other side immediately replied with a smile:
"Isn't it? From this perspective, Mianmian really wasn't bragging. It's true."

After hearing a lot of conversations from the people around him, Su Chengyi couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked tentatively:

"May I ask what exactly she said?"

"That's a lot!"

The first person to speak was the cousin who seemed to be cheerful and outgoing. He leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his face and mercilessly exposed his sister's secrets.

“When we were little, we boys would get together to play video games, yo-yos, and the like. We disliked Mian Mian because she was young and stupid, and we refused to let her play.

She squatted beside and watched for a while, then said angrily, "What's so great about that? My classmate can play this, too. He's much better than you! Whether it's playing games or spinning yo-yos, he's better than you! Hahahaha!"

When talking about this childhood event, my cousin couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing the people around him to laugh too.

"Oh yes, I remember."

My cousin, who also experienced this, also came forward to testify. He nodded and recalled seriously:
"Also, when we went back to our hometown to worship our ancestors during the Chinese New Year, my uncle and dad went fishing together. My cousin also went fishing. I watched them for a long time without catching any fish, and then I seriously said that my classmates are better than you adults."

"It was the same when she was doing Mathematical Olympiad questions. When she encountered a question she didn't know how to answer, Mianmian would immediately close the pen cap and say it was okay and she would just ask her classmates when school started. Her classmates would definitely know the answer."

"There's no need to talk about playing chess and writing. As soon as I mention it, I immediately think of it as my classmate. Oh, Xiao Su really made him into a chess saint or a calligraphy saint."

Unexpectedly, even such an old almanac would be dug up. Miss Chu blushed with shame, and it was obvious that she had lost all her strength and means.

"Oh, you really are not allowed to say that."

In the end, she could only utter this weak protest.

Su Chengyi still maintained the same posture, supporting his chin and listening with a slight smile.

In fact, according to what everyone said, they were not familiar with each other at that time, but unexpectedly, a certain young lady had already started talking about him in front of her family every day.

However, Su Chengyi couldn't remember when he had ever played video games or spun a yo-yo in front of Chu Qingmian. He did play these games occasionally when he was a child, but not at school.

Moreover, he was not very good at fishing. It could be said that he only knew how to use a fishing rod. The few times he caught fish were probably what anglers often call "benefit for newbies."

Moreover, in the end, Class Monitor Chu never really asked him about the Olympiad math problem that no one could solve.

Besides that, he never played chess with her, nor did he write calligraphy for her to see.
So, how did the eldest lady talk about all this with her family?
Is it really just blind praise that is given regardless of everything?

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and looked at Miss Chu who was collapsed beside him, trying to get an answer from her.

However, the young lady, who had lost all her strength and methods, was covering her face in shyness, and obviously had no energy or spare energy to answer his questions.
