Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2949: Chapter 2885: Strong All Their Life

”Tyrant Meng, you...”

She hadn’t finished her sentence...

The tree-lined path, the sunset, the evening glow, the gentle breeze, the chirping of birds, and a wisp of cooking smoke in the distance all became their backdrop.

Who cares.

She only knew she was madly in love with this man; she only knew he had just returned from the battle; she only knew that their time together was precious.

When they returned, Meng Chaojun and Commander Cui were already playing chess.

Madam Cui waved to Jiang Xiao, ”Come, come, Xiao Chiang, help bring out the dishes.”

Jiang Xiao immediately ran over.

Meng Xinian watched her graceful figure and touched his lips.

Hmm, it seems like this was the first time they held hands and walked down a tree-lined path?

Doing this outside felt completely different from at home.

Meng Xinian didn’t expect that he would enjoy kissing someone so much.

He truly couldn’t control it.

They walked down that tree-lined path for a long time.

”Little Meng, come over here. With my chess skills, I’m no match for even a Little Firecracker. Come play a game with me; let me see. You know, having no worthy opponent is not a good thing,” Commander Cui called out to him.

Meng Xinian pushed all fanciful thoughts out of his mind and quickly walked over.

As soon as he arrived, Meng Chaojun let out a big sigh of relief and hurriedly gave his seat to Meng Xinian.

Good heavens.

He didn’t realize playing chess with Commander Cui was so stressful!

Every move required him to ponder deeply, but if he took too long, Commander Cui would comment.

This is a battlefield with rapidly changing conditions; there’s no time to dawdle like this!

By the time you’ve thought it through, the enemy is already at the doorstep.

But if you don’t think, and make a move, Commander Cui still had something to say.

What’s meant by taking a risky move? A risky move has a certain probability of success, but a blunder that leads to certain defeat isn’t a risky move—it’s seeking your own doom!

By the end of that game, his back was soaked with sweat.

Now that Meng Xinian was here, he suddenly felt liberated.

Jiang Xiao brought out the dishes and glanced over, just in time to see Deputy Alliance Officer Meng Chaojian exhaling deeply, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Just watch, Grandpa Cui won’t rest until he’s scared everyone away. I’ve heard that no one around him is keen to play chess with him.”

Madam Cui also glanced over there and laughed.

”Grandpa Cui is too imposing,” Jiang Xiao said.

”He’s been competitive all his life, doesn’t admit defeat, and is clever, so there’s always a bit of pride in his bones,” Madam Cui remarked about her husband.

Except for that one thing.

Sigh.

She sighed softly, glanced at Jiang Xiao, then turned and went inside. After a while, she came out with a towel folded into a tofu block and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao subconsciously took it, feeling it was cool to the touch.

She looked at Madam Cui in confusion, ”What’s this for?”

Madam Cui pointed to her lips, ”Put it on. The spring water here is very cool; it can be used for a cold compress.”
