After the breakfast, Vivian packed her bag and put it on the table upstairs. She asked Terence to come with her as well. She wanted to show him her works.
"You must have no idea where I took this picture, right?"
"I like this one best. I'm so happy to see it."
"I even won the prize in this photo!"
Vivian showed her photo album to Terence, each photo shared her own story. Terence listened quietly, and what he heard and saw was not only the story in the pictures, but also her experience.
Vivian liked to keep flowers. After making the bed, she put all her potted plants on the windowsill one by one, and then took out a small kettle. With her back to Terence, she sprinkled water on the plants gently in the sunshine. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "These plants are most lovely."
"You're taking good care of them." Looking at the growing plants, Terence smiled slowly.
"Yes, I just like plants. "I'm in a good mood when I see these plants..." They have great vitality! " Vivian reached out and touched those branches and leaves, reluctant to take her eyes off them, as if she was a child.
"What do you think of the room?" "When I am at home, the room I live in is just like this. I am used to this layout and don't want to change," she added and turned to look at Terence.
"Good." Glancing at the room again, Terence said calmly. The original black and white color of the room had completely changed to a warm and lovely appearance that only girls could have, and the room was full of vitality. In particular, the romantic pictures stood against the wall.
Vivian was not as naughty as she used to be, but she was gentle and quiet, basking in the sunshine.
A warm feeling surged up in Terence's heart.
After a while, Vivian looked for another treasure in the bag. Taking out the treasure, she shouted excitedly, "You will like it, ha ha."
"What?" Terence looked up and saw that Vivian took out a set of chess. He asked surprisingly, "Do you have this set?"
"Yes." Vivian nodded and put the chessboard on the bed. "My mother bought me the teenager version when I was young."
Terence looked at the chessboard and found that it was smaller than the regular ones.
"Mr. Terence, what about playing a game of chess?" After putting the chess pieces in order, Vivian looked at Terence provocatively.
"Okay." Terence nodded. Since they were both free, they could play the game to kill the time. So he picked up the chess pieces and started fighting with Vivian. But he didn't expect that she was also good at it. They had fought for a while. It was still unknown who would win.
Vivian was sitting on the bed, holding her chin with her left hand, and fondling the "eaten" chess piece with her right hand. Staring at the chessboard, she was thinking about what to do next.
Terence was also holding a piece of chess. He looked at the competition on the board and then looked up at Selina. With a smile on his face all the time, he asked indifferently, "What's wrong? I don't know where to go. "
"Hush!" Vivian stuck out her tongue at his words, shook her head and smiled, "A wise man does not resort to insinuations in chess. Mr. Terence, you are such a villain."
"Haha..." "Fine, fine. It's all my fault," replied Terence with a doting smile
With a smile, Vivian put the piece on the board with some hesitation, and mumbled, "I think the situation is not good..."
Terence put the piece on the table and blocked it. It seemed that he had already expected that. Annoyed, Vivian advanced forward without any hesitation. Unfortunately, she had fewer and fewer chessboard to be used by Terence.
"What?" Annoyed by her failure, Vivian pouted and rearranged the pieces on the table one by one. Then she urged, "Come on again!"
Terence just watched Vivian buried himself in his work silently. He thought it was a good idea that because of her, he could live a full life.
Miss Wang didn't go upstairs until she packed her stuff and was about to make lunch. The door of the side bedroom was open. Miss Wang saw them playing chess and said with a smile, "Mr. Terence is playing chess with Miss Vivian! It's a rare opportunity! "
"Miss Wang, why do you come up?" Asked Terence, tilting his head.
"Oh, I see it's almost noon. I want to ask you what you want to eat. I'm going to cook!" Miss Wang smiled, "I found few young people play chess nowadays. Mr. Terence, you must like playing chess very much, don't you?"
Stunned, Terence suddenly nodded with a smile. Then he fixed his eyes on Vivian and said, "Yes, I like her very much."
Vivian was stuck in her thoughts and didn't notice what Terence had said. She pouted adorably.
"Ah --" suddenly she raised her head and said to Miss Wang in an aggrieved tone, "Miss Wang, after I finish this match with Terence, I'll go downstairs to cook with you. This guy is not kind at all. All this morning, I haven't won."
Terence was a little helpless, "Does it have anything to do with having a tender heart for a woman? We still have to follow the rules, don't we? "
"Brainless!" Seeing that another piece was about to be put on the board, Vivian pouted and decided to play a trick on it. She suddenly put her hand on the board, leaned forward and stared at Terence, "Tell me, you lose this round, or I lose?"
"Not yet. I don't know if it's finished yet," said Terence, looking up at her with a smile
"You... No, you have to tell me who lost even when we haven't done it. "
