Within her words, there seemed to be other implications. Yin Zhili looked at Jiang Li, who maintained a calm expression. After pondering for a moment and saying nothing more, they arrived at the courtyard's stone table during this timing. A chessboard and pieces were laid out on the stone table, and Yin Zhili asked, "Second Miss, would you like to play a game of chess?"
"Sure," Jiang Li said.
They sat down at the stone table. The table was under a tree, and between the leaves, fine sunlight scattered on the board, turning into a random pattern of gold.
Yin Zhili gestured for Jiang Li to go first. She chose the black pieces. So, Yin Zhili took the white ones.
The black pieces had the first move.
