After dinner, Sheng Yan Cheng and Shen Mo played chess in the living room.
Sheng Jinyu sat on the side, watching the two elderly men play, occasionally offering tips.
Both seniors liked to pull him in as their strategist, and Sheng Jinyu was very patient, fair and impartial throughout.
Helping one to capture a cannon, then assisting the other to take down a knight, greatly speeding up the game.
The others sat nearby, chatting and keeping watch through the night.
Even Sheng Yeli had been ordered to stay up until after midnight before he could return to his room to rest.
Sheng Ning'an quietly started a video call with Xu Weiran.
The Xu family was small, with just Mr. Xu, Mother Xu, and Xu Weiran, a family of three.
In contrast to the Sheng family, it seemed somewhat quiet.
Xu Weiran held his phone and went into the yard.
The screen showed his girlfriend's face and the Sheng family's living room, filled with joy and laughter.
