Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Chapter 298 Meditation

"I want to play, I want to play, Daddy, I want to play with you!" Yoyo shouted with great interest.

"I'm playing with you, you're not allowed to take back your moves, understand?" Zhan Guiting had made that agreement with Youyou beforehand.

Every time I play chess with this guy, he takes back his moves when he makes a mistake, and even goes so far as to move his pieces out of bounds. Then he looks at me with his big, round eyes and tries to brainwash me, saying, "Dad, you placed your piece here, right? Not over there, right?"

Then, the formation he had set up was disrupted by Yoyo.

This is something else, he's really impressed by her.

I instantly lost the desire to play with her.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't take back my move." The little guy waved his chubby little hand, then tugged at Zhan Guiting's arm and asked seriously, "Daddy, do you trust me?"

The man's lips twitched. "I don't believe you for a second," but he still nodded in agreement, "I believe you, I believe you."

Otherwise, I'll cry in front of you, and then it'll be hard to coax me. If I attract Qin Yimo's attention, it will be even worse.

Zhan Guiting and Yoyo sat facing each other, while the triplets sat next to Yoyo.

The father and daughter are playing chess.

Zhan Guiting placed a piece, signaling to Yoyo to place her piece as well.

……

After several rounds, Yoyo lost every single one he played, and Zhan Guiting wasn't giving the little guy any leeway at all.

"Do you submit? Huh? I'm asking you, do you submit or not?"

The man got up, picked up the little girl, and placed her on his lap to play with her.

"I'm not convinced! One day, I'll definitely beat Daddy! Daddy, don't be so smug."

The little guy raised his tiny fist and shouted confidently.

“We are too,” the triplets shouted.

Zhan Guiting looked at these little ones and saw that they had really grown up and taller since last year.

Suddenly I feel a little afraid of time, afraid that time will take away their innocence.

"Oh my baby, Uncle Wu is back."

Suddenly, Zhan Baisui walked over here.

"Fifth Uncle~ Fifth Uncle~ Fifth Uncle~"

Upon seeing Zhan Baisui, Yoyo immediately jumped off Zhan Guiting's lap and ran towards Zhan Baisui with her short legs.

Zhan Baisui bent down, picked up the person, tossed them in the air a few times, and caught them.

Do you miss your fifth uncle?

"I want to, I want to super, super much."

What are you all doing here?

Zhan Baisui carried Youyou to the pavilion and sat down next to Zhan Guiting.

"Let's play chess," Zhan Jingxi said.

"Want a round?" Zhan Baisui asked Zhan Guiting, turning his head to the side.

"Don't cry if you lose," Zhan Guiting said.

"You have such a mouth..." Zhan Baisui was speechless and didn't want to say anything.

Arrogance does not come with aggression.

"Zhan Jingyang, get up and let Fifth Uncle change seats." Zhan Baisui got up with Youyou in his arms, preparing to sit in Zhan Jingyang's seat.

"Zhan Youyou, which side are you on, hmm?" Zhan Guiting asked.

"I'll stand in the middle." The little guy tried his best to treat everyone equally and not let anyone be sad.

"Sweetie, stand on Uncle Wu's side." Zhan Baisui whispered in the little guy's ear.

Zhan Guiting's face darkened, and his eyes turned piercing as he glared at Zhan Baisui.

"It's starting! It's starting! I'll be the referee and commentator!" Zhan Jingyang shouted from the middle.

Zhan Guiting had no choice but to start playing chess.

With Zhan Jingyang providing commentary, the Zhan brothers, Guiting and Baisui, began their face-to-face chess match.

The two placed their pieces one after the other.

Zhan Guiting played with a calm and collected demeanor, his chess moves were unpredictable and full of traps. His attention to detail was breathtaking; what appeared chaotic was actually quite methodical, and breaking the deadlock was just a matter of a moment.

Zhan Baisui, dressed in a modern Chinese-style white shirt, was meticulous, clean, and beautiful. He placed a piece between his fair and slender fingers, unhurried and unhurried, exuding a detached and unattached beauty.

Zhan Jingyang seemed to be in another realm, rambling on and on about his explanations, sometimes hitting the nail on the head, and sometimes just talking nonsense.

Zhan Guiting and Zhan Baisui remained completely unaffected, focusing intently on their duel.

Soon, the game ended, and it was obvious that Zhan Guiting had won.

Compared to Zhan Guiting, Zhan Baisui lacked some of the ruthlessness and cruelty.

"Fifth Uncle, let's play a game. I think I can beat you." Zhan Jingyang was inexplicably confident.

"I won't play with you. If I can't win, I'll take back my move. If you don't let me take back my move, I'll throw a tantrum."

Zhan Jingyang: ...

After Zhan Baisui finished speaking, he went to find YoYo, who was squatting outside the flower bed.

"Oh my, Uncle Wu is going to the mountain for meditation tomorrow. Do you want to come with Uncle Wu, my little one?" Zhan Baisui imitated the little guy's actions, squatting down beside him and asking gently.

What is meditation?

"Meditation is a practice of cultivating oneself in a secluded place, through sitting quietly, focusing on breathing, observing one's thoughts, and so on, to cultivate inner peace and wisdom," Zhan Baisui said gently.

"Cultivation? Can you become an immortal? Can you fly on a sword?" Zhan Jingyang, who was standing to the side, became interested and jumped onto a rock to demonstrate the action of flying on a sword.

But Zhan Guiting kicked him, saying, "Believe in science!"

Zhan Baisui laughed and said, "Zen meditation is a way to pursue inner peace and freedom, and it has nothing to do with transcending the laws of nature."

"Fifth Uncle, does that mean we can see Master Jing'an?"

"Correct."

"I want to go, I want to go, I miss Master Jing'an, I want to go see him."

"Okay, your fifth uncle will take you with him tomorrow."

"I also need to go."

The triplets eagerly shouted that they wanted to go together.

"You'll have to ask him about that; I can't make that decision for you." Zhan Baisui glanced at Zhan Guiting.

"Oh, so you can make the decisions now."

"I think I can do it. I'm quite familiar with Teacher Cherry Tomato and the principal, so asking for leave for YoYo shouldn't be a problem."

"Dad, do you want to come with me? Master Jing'an is very nice to me."

Zhan Guiting had occasionally heard Yoyo mention Master Jing'an. Not long after Yoyo found him, he had prepared generous gifts and sent them up the mountain. This time, he should personally go and thank him.

“Okay, Dad will go with you.” Zhan Guiting bent down and picked up the little girl.

"What about us?" Zhan Jingxi asked tentatively.

"Let's all ask for leave together."

"yeah."

The triplets jumped for joy and made a peace sign in mid-air.
