159 Brother Backdrop (1/2)
After the party, Ye Shuang bade everyone farewell before leaving, saying she had something else to attend to outside of Shanghai. The next day, when Little Brother Ye came to play, his brother had already changed to sister.
Since it was rare for them to visit Shanghai, purchasing souvenirs and presents for the family back home was necessary. Mo Xiao Xia, who had greeted him earlier, had also been waiting for Sister Shuang to arrive, and not to be forgotten were the elders from the Go association. Brother Shuang had just piqued their interest, but he had already disappeared. He had said that his partner was as good as he was, and they could not wait to find out whether Brother Shuang was lying or not.
Therefore, it was understandable that Ye Shuang's schedule for the day was also very packed. Other than shopping with Mo Xiao Xia for the whole morning, she spent the whole afternoon playing and chatting with people at the Go association. Even Madam Mo joined in the fun.
Technically, the Go playing style for both 'Ye Shuang's was different. The style mimicked the personality and vice versa. Ye Shuang had two gender identities, so naturally, she had two different tactics and styles.
Brother Shuang's style was open and upright, attacking as fast as lightning and defending as stably as a mountain. One could see his intention from miles away, but when he launched his full-on attack, there was nothing one could do.
Sister Shuang's style was soft, careful, and quick at adapting; it was shapeless like water. Plenty of threats under the gentle surface, she often hid traps under her moves and would charge at her opponent like a panther when they were not looking. She was very good at surprise attacks that ruined one's tempo, and when one realized that she was attacking, she was already dealing the fatal blow.
When facing Brother Shuang's attacks, his opponent could only hold on until they were eventually swallowed by them. Playing with Sister Shuang was like a puzzle. Due to her changing tactics, it was hard to tell the purpose behind her every move. The elders had fun playing with her, and even Madam Mo, who did not play Go that much, had fun watching.
Half way through a game with Brother Shuang, people would shout out, ”He won already!”
However, it was not until the last move that people would find out that Sister Shuang had won. Everyone would be wondering, When did she start the steps that led her to her victory‽
Ye Shuang played from early afternoon to dinner time. Those Go fanatics had forgone eating, but Ye Shuang, who munched on chocolate the whole afternoon, was starving. She collapsed onto the table with her hand over her stomach. She had an active metabolism, so she needed to have meals on time.
With Ye Shuang's pleading and after leaving her name, the group of elders finally agreed to let her go. They promised to continue the games online, and Ye Shuang finally got the chance to leave. She accepted Madam Mo and Mo Xiao Xia's invitation to have dinner with the Mo family.
It was easy for women to get close to each other. With Mo Xiao Xia acting as the mutual friend and the good impression Ye Shuang had left at the Go association, Madam Mo had great admiration toward her. Even though Sister Shuang did not look as impressive as Brother Shuang, her exquisite face was quite clean and acceptable. With a few exchanges, she managed to make Madam Mo treat her like her actual granddaughter.
Little Brother Ye sat in the passenger seat alone, listening to the three women behind him chatting and chatting and chatting. The topic changed from clothes to jewelry, from beauty care to skin care—he really could not understand why they were not tired from moving their lips so much. When they arrived at Mo family's home, the car had just parked when Boss Mo came out holding a little boy of about three or four.
