Time Travel and Love

The chessboard is set up, eleven plays black, and one piece is placed, "upper right star position."

Chu Qingmeng said softly, "Qing'er, place your move on your mother's behalf. Lower left star."

Mo Jiangqing leaned over and picked up the white piece from Chu Qingmeng's hand and placed it down.

The two of them played like this for more than twenty moves. Mo Jiangche began to sweat as he watched the chessboard. This equally matched chess skill was like a murderous conspiracy...

"Small eye in the lower right." The eleventh move was quite calm.

"Three to six on the upper right." Mo Jiangqing felt something was strange while making his move. What was this style of play?

"High point on the upper left." Kuroko decided.

"Fourteen out of nine, split into two." Chu Qingmeng took another sip of tea. Why was he always thirsty after taking the painkillers?

Mo Jiangqing now finally understood what was strange. His mother's chess style was exactly the same as his uncle's, with just some slight differences.

"Nineth, I haven't seen you for over a month, but you seem to be becoming indecisive." Eleventh placed another piece, "Three-three on the upper right."

"Twelve out of seven. Learn from each other's strengths and overcome each other's weaknesses. How could you possibly know the use of this hesitation?" Chu Qingmeng's patience was almost exhausted. After Eleven made another move, he didn't give him any more chances. "Seventeen out of six."

"Four or six."

"Seventy-six."

……

"Nine out of eleven." Mo Jiangqing placed the final piece for Chu Qingmeng, giving White a win by one. Cold sweat streamed down his neck. Mother... so cruel. Mo Jiangche felt the same way and swallowed hard. He'd initially thought he was wrong. This wasn't a murderous conspiracy. Mother had already planned how to capture Uncle Eleven's piece when she placed her first piece, but somehow, in the end, she only won by one.

Eleven threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box and said with a smile, "Nineth, thank you for your trouble."

"Thank you for letting me go." Chu Qingmeng kept smiling in front of him, but in her heart she was cursing him, "Why don't you get down to business?!"

"Haha," Eleven chuckled twice, sensing Chu Qingmeng's impatience, and began to think about his business in his mind, "Eleven wants to discuss a business deal with Master Jiu."

"You know how much it will cost for me to take action." Chu Qingmeng just had an indifferent expression and did not respond or refuse.

Eleven subconsciously stared into her eyes, then lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before speaking, "I've already cleaned up the secret stings left by Old Eight. How about giving it to you as an appetizer?"

Chu Qingmeng was slightly surprised. A secret agent of the royal family? He was willing to give him up? He chuckled, "Would Eleven be willing to give him up?"

"Why not?" Then he suddenly leaned back in his chair in a frivolous manner, revealing a dandy look, just like when he was in the other courtyard. He just said what was in his heart in a joking way, and said with a smile, "As long as the ninth day is as free as before, even if the moon is in the sky, why should I be reluctant to leave?"

The two brothers frowned. Did Uncle Eleven know what he was saying?! How could he say that to his mother?! His mother was his cousin's wife!

Mo Jiangqing picked up the tea bowl and handed it to Eleven, emphasizing the word "uncle". "Uncle Eleven, have some tea."

Mo Jiangche did the same thing, "Mother, have some tea."

Chu Qingmeng was amused by the two of them, and secretly reminded her of her identity with Eleven. That person was just joking, and they took it seriously? She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Eleven's joke will scare my son. Stop it, let's get down to business."

Eleven glanced at the two brothers, raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying meaningfully, "Oh, I never noticed before that these two brothers look a bit like you. But if brothers are not of the same mind, then the family will be in turmoil. So, Chujiu wants to let the two brothers know that they should be of the same mind in everything."

After a brief thought, Chu Qingmeng put on his professional smile again, "Well, that's natural. But sometimes, I have to take care of my family, and there are some things I can't interfere with casually."

The two brothers were completely bewildered. What had they done to deserve a lecture?!

"If Chujiu cares too much, it will not be good for the Man family." Eleven raised an eyebrow.

Chu Qingmeng paused, then suddenly laughed out of anger, "Eleven, you haven't walked on steady ground yet, be careful with your words."

"Chujiu, you're overthinking it." Eleven also smiled helplessly. His analogy just now was inappropriate. "I just want to say that it's not good to be hesitant and cautious. Chujiu is sitting on the fishing platform, so at least you should be more tolerant of me, the fish that has been hooked."

"Oh, cooking beans and burning bean pods, why bother coming here at eleven?"

"Qingmeng." Mo Liujin hurried over. He first glanced at Chu Qingmeng and felt slightly relieved. Then he bowed to Eleven and said, "Greetings, Prince Eleven."

Eleven was very unhappy with him, especially with their relationship. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't say "third cousin". He just gritted his teeth and said, "General, there's no need to be polite."

Hearing his teeth gritting, Mo Liujin looked at him in confusion and stood beside Chu Qingmeng. Understanding his teeth gritting, Chu Qingmeng covered his mouth with a chuckle, trying to hide the huge sense of absurdity in his heart. This world is really messed up...

"Nineth day, the show has already begun, there's no reason not to finish it. Since they've already started, I have to continue singing too." Eleventh stood up, looking straight at Chu Qingmeng, then laughed at himself and glanced at Mo Liujin meaningfully, "It's really a mess."
