At noon, Lu Zheng made three dishes.
Braised snake segments.
Grilled snake slices.
Fresh mushroom snake soup.
Elder Wansong didn't eat the braised snake segments or grilled snake slices, only drank a small bowl of fresh mushroom snake soup before stopping.
However, Si Lingxi elegantly ate most of the dishes, her phoenix eyes slightly curved, lips softly smiling, clearly enjoying it.
...
In the afternoon, familiar with Elder Wansong's style and already used to the lack of surprises, Si Lingxi invited Lu Zheng to play a game with her.
Lu Zheng had already shown his capabilities while playing chess with Elder Wansong, so he did not hold back.
At their level, although each had their own style of play, the chess paths remain ever-changing and unpredictable.
So even though Si Lingxi's skill was considerably below Elder Wansong's, it still helped Lu Zheng accrue more experience.
The game ended with Si Lingxi undoubtedly losing by one-and-a-half points.
