Quick Wear: The host is a jerk again and runs away

Chapter 525: Just Be Your Pawn

Because they did not stop in every city, the actual time spent was not that much. They planned to take a short rest before setting off for the fifth state, Lingcheng.

This time he did not take Bai Ye's Divine Phoenix nor Xue Yi's Snow Condensation Divine Beast, but took Jiang Shouyu's spaceship.

The large spaceship was flying steadily in the sky, and Shi Yuan and Jiang Shouyu were playing chess.

Jili sat not far away playing the piano, while Bai Ye was at the helm.

Xie Lanyue leaned on Xue Yi's shoulder, and the two of them were watching the melodramatic romantic TV series produced by 007.

It can be said to be a melodramatic romantic TV series, but it is actually a quick-travel game that records the process of conquering some hosts and makes it into a film that can be purchased and played.

Xueyi’s points are of no use now, so she doesn’t feel bad about buying anything with them.

She did not tell anyone else about Zhou Yuran's existence for the time being. The boy sat obediently in the space, not crying or making a fuss, looking at Xue Yi and Xie Lanyue on the big screen and watching TV with them.

007 stood aside, with a puzzled tone, "It's been so long and the master didn't come to see you or ask you to leave. Aren't you angry?"

Zhou Yuran hugged the pillow and smiled calmly, "I'm not angry."

"She likes obedient people, and I happen to be very obedient."

"I will continue to be obedient in the future. She will come to see me when she finishes her own business. When she gets better and the backlash is not so severe, she will come to see me and introduce me to other people. I believe in her."

007 was in a complicated mood. He didn't say anything more and just sat quietly and watched.

...

The chess game.

Jiang Shouyu is always one step behind Shi Yuan on the opposite side. No matter what tricks he uses, Shi Yuan can always defeat him.

"You play chess very well," he said bluntly.

Shi Yuan made another move, "Of course."

"Just because you play chess well doesn't necessarily mean you will be the ultimate winner." Jiang Shouyu calmed down and made another move with the white piece.

Shi Yuan was not in a hurry and responded calmly, "Then what do you think it takes to be a winner?"

Jiang Shouyu frowned, thought for a moment, and answered: "Of course it's the person who plans and strategizes."

While he was thinking about the problem, Shi Yuan made another move, and before he could continue thinking, the outcome was decided.

Jiang Shouyu held the white piece in his hand, a look of disbelief on his face.

"You clearly beat me by half a move just now, at most one move, why now..."

After an hour of stalemate in the chess game, he was suddenly defeated.

Shi Yuan did not answer, but instead picked up another piece and placed it next to the white piece.

He took his hand back, looked at the chessboard, and smiled, "Sometimes life is like playing a game of chess. You never know what moves the other party will use against you."

“But when you have experienced a thousand or ten thousand rounds of desperate situations and still managed to escape unscathed, then you will be able to comprehend the true meaning of it.”

Shi Yuan's eyes fell on the two people who were watching TV series in the cabin. Xue Yi was eating popcorn with Xie Lanyue and laughing happily.

He whispered, "One day, I will rise from hell and swear to protect the one I love with my life."

"But one day, I realized that my life was a chess game played by others. I was the black piece and the person I loved was the white piece."

"We are on opposite sides, and the chess player is forcing us to kill each other."

"It recklessly exposes our false lives, which are just a game of chess in its spare time, insignificant. Our acquaintance, understanding, and love are just the trajectories it has set."

"I don't believe it, because I know my feelings are real. They are all true. I will feel heartbroken for her and sad. I will feel distressed when she cries. I will not allow anyone to hurt her."

"So I wanted to resist, and so did she. Neither of us wanted to be just pawns. She didn't want to accept her fate, so she ran away, and I didn't chase her."

"I've waited for five thousand years. I've waited for her to remember me again and call my name again."

"I grew up with her through life and death, and I turned defeat into victory in a losing chess game. I accepted her love because I understood that even if she hated being tied to me by birth and chose to escape fate, she would never abandon me."

"If our destiny could be a chess piece in our own hands, then she and I would definitely stick together, even if there were many other black pieces around us."

"Your chess skills are shallow. On the surface, it seems that I am half a move better than you, with one more move. But you don't know that I have been planning since the first move. I am luring you into a trap and then surrounding and killing you."

"I beat you by one move, but more than one move. I am playing chess, but more than just playing chess."

"Jiang Shouyu, can you understand?"

The man glanced over, and Jiang Shouyu was still in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He chuckled and put away the chessboard, leaving only two pieces, one black and one white, which he held tightly in his hands.

After a moment, the palm opened, and the original black piece turned into a white piece, sitting right next to the white piece.

Ji Xueyi, I will stay with you.

If you want to be a white piece, then I will also be a white piece.

If you want to be a black player, I will be a black player too.

If one day we have to stand on opposite sides, I will dig out my bones and extract my soul, cut off my life line to be close to you, and just be your chess piece.
