One Meet By Chance novel Chapter 403

The bonfire and the rice wine made by the owner of the farmhouse made all of them feel that life should be like this. After dinner, the landlady of the farmhouse took her beautiful daughter to clean up the table. The owner of the farmhouse also moved a chair and sat next to the three elders, talking and laughing.

"Brain, let's play aeroplane chess."

Bruce took out a set of aeroplane chess from his pocket and put it on the clean table.

"Okay, I'm coming. There was no winner last time. I must win you today."

"It is obvious that you are not smarter than me,"

Bruce said. Teresa stood beside them and shook her head with a smile. These two children, especially Bruce, either kept silent or were saying something so destructive that he even said that Brain was not smarter than him and couldn't win him. Three old men slowly approached to them. The owner of the farmhouse also approached as well.

The owner of the farmhouse said his name was Forrest Meng, and they could just call him Forrest directly. But all of the others were just smiling and saying that they should call him Mr. Forrest. Mr. Forrest smiled and didn't retort. In his eyes, being called Mr. Forrest was a proud thing. It meant that his life was successful, at least in the eyes of others, successful and glorious.

"I've told you that I can win. I'm about to reach the end. Ha-ha, Bruce, you're the fool."

Brain laughed wildly with his hands on his hips. No one knew if he was more like Teresa or Enrique when he was doing this. Bruce just curled his lips.

"It's still unknown who will be the winner."

As expected, when Brain's chess piece was about to reach the finish line, it was suddenly hit back to the starting point by the chess piece guarded by Bruce. Bruce left one chess piece at home and just for attacking Brain's chess piece. In the end, Bruce took advantage of this and chase after him and took the lead all the way. Then, when Bruce won, Brain pouted.

"Ah! Bruce. You are so insidious and cunning. How can you let a chess piece stay at home just to attack me? What if you can't catch my chess piece?"

Bruce looked up at Brain indifferently. Then he said lightly.

"Daddy said this is called strategy."

Brain pouted. He was angry. Why didn't his daddy tell him this? Obviously, daddy was partial to Bruce. Then he threw himself into the arms of Teresa and asked for comfort. Albert, who was standing next to them, couldn't agree. How could Enrique teach the children like this? How could he not teach Brain but Bruce?

"Brain, don't cry. Grandpa Albert will win it for you."

Brain was about to ask his Grandpa Albert if he knew how to play aeroplane chess. Then he saw that his Grandpa Albert had already sat opposite Bruce, also the position of him just now. He picked up a chess piece and his posture was just like he was going to play Chinese chess. Brain couldn't help but make a sound.

"Grandpa Albert, aeroplane chess is different from Chinese chess."

"Well, I see."

Instead, they put all their attention on the chessboard. The three elders were getting more and more energetic, and they had the high fighting spirit and even wanted to play till the dawn. As a result, Bruce was a little tired after playing the aeroplane chess for a long time. Then Ares replaced his position. Fiona and Teresa went back to their rooms with the two children in their arms and helped them wash up.

The two naughty children fell asleep after making a fuss on the bed for a while. Teresa held Fiona's hand and stood in the corridor in front of the wooden house. The corridor was very clean. The two sat down. Not far away, the four men, old and young, were still playing the aeroplane chess happily.

The stars in the sky were very beautiful, different from the city they lived in. They rarely saw such a clean starry sky. The night wind was a little cold, and the bonfire was making the sound of cracking. The sound of water from the waterfall was also heard in their ears.

"It's a good place. If I have the chance, I also want to have such a farmhouse to support myself,"

Fiona said with a look of yearning on her face. Teresa patted her on the shoulder.

"We are enjoying ourselves in this farmhouse right now, aren't we?"

"Are you going to say live in the moment again?"

"Why not? Cherish the happy time! Don't deprive yourself of every opportunity. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, there are always good memories left."

Fiona was stunned. There was something meaningful in Teresa's words today. She didn't want to understand what she meant, but she knew what she meant.
