Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
Later that afternoon .
At a courtyard house in Xuanwumen .
When they entered the northern building, Li Qinqin asked him warmly, "Little Zhang, what would you like to drink?"
"Anything is fine, Auntie," Zhang Ye smiled and said .
Li Qinqin said, "Please don't say that . We have all kinds of drinks here at home that you can choose from . "
Zhang Ye replied, "I'm really fine with anything . "
Wu Changhe glanced at his wife . "Just get him a cup of hot water . "
Li Qinqin stared at him . "How can we serve him hot water?" She then turned to Zhang Ye and said with a smile, "That's right, we actually do have some good tea at home . I heard that just a single gram of it can fetch a price of 10,000 yuan . I don't know if it's true or not, but it's what everyone is saying . Besides, you can't get this tea from anywhere . My daughter brought it back some time ago for us to have a taste . Why don't you have some!"
Wu Changhe put out his hand to stop her . "Hey, that Da Hong Pao is for us!"
Li Qinqin rolled her eyes at him . "You've almost finished all of it already, so why don't you let Little Zhang have a taste . "
Wu Changhe's eyes twitched . "We still have some superior Longjing around! Use that!"
Li Qinqin did not listen to him . "I'll just make tea with Da Hong Pao . "
Wu Changhe reminded her, "Don't use too many tea leaves! We don't have much left!"
What?
Da Hong Pao?
Zhang Ye was a little taken aback but did not say anything .
Li Qinqin went off to brew the tea, leaving Zhang Ye and Wu Changhe to stare at each other in awkward silence .
Zhang Ye tried to strike up a conversation . "Uncle, is this courtyard house part of your family's property?"
When they were at the Qiyuan, Wu Changhe acted rather chummy with Zhang Ye after he had won the game . But after they returned home, he went back to his uncaring attitude, probably because he still bore a grudge from when he was utterly demolished by Zhang Ye in online Go . He said, "Who else could it belong to if not my family?"
Li Qinqin said as she boiled the water, "Changhe earned some money back when he was playing Go competitively . The value of money at that time was much better and property prices were not expensive, so we bought this courtyard house, as well as a few apartments, some antiques, and calligraphy works . Your uncle is very interested in collecting things like antiques and the such . In recent years, with antiques and property prices rising, we've managed to make quite a bit of money . We're actually just your average family . "
Wu Changhe asked, "Is our daughter not back yet?"
"I called her already . " Li Qinqin said, "She said that she would knock off earlier today, so she should be back soon . Since you two have some free time, why don't you play a game of Go?"
Zhang Ye was fine with that . "Sure . "
But Wu Changhe said in a speechless manner, "Who wants to play him!"
Li Qinqin laughed and said, "Are you afraid of losing?"
"Me? Afraid of losing?" Wu Changhe let out a furious laugh . "I'm telling you, Li Qinqin . It's just that I'm getting on in years . Thinking back to when I, Wu Changhe, was dominating the world of Go for over ten years, was there anyone who dared to challenge me? It's not that I'm bragging, but even I myself would be afraid to face the Go skill that I had at my peak . If I were to return to that era, would a mere AI be a threat to me? Who knows who would win and who would lose!"
Li Qinqin pursed her lips . "Say what you like . "
"What do you mean?" Then Wu Changhe looked at Zhang Ye and said, "You just haven't witnessed how good I was back then, you know?"
Zhang Ye hemmed and hawed as he listened to the boasting .
At this moment, the door in the courtyard creaked and footfalls rang out .
Wu Changhe smiled and said, "My daughter is back!"
Zhang Ye stood up and turned around .
Wu Zeqing, who was dressed in a skirt, stepped lightly into the house . She looked at Zhang Ye and smiled . "How about it? I said that you could do it, right? You won today's game beautifully . It was even better than yesterday's game . "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I had to . "
Wu Zeqing asked in concern, "Have you eaten lunch yet?"
"Not yet . The interview got dragged on into lunch time," Zhang Ye said .
Wu Zeqing said, "Let's eat now, I'll cook . " Then she pointed at Zhang Ye's attire and said with a smile, "Don't wear such light-colored clothes when you go on camera next time . It doesn't look good on screen . You'd look better dressed in black . "
Zhang Ye nodded . "Alright . "
Wu Changhe fumed at that . "Daughter, you didn't even say a word to me or your mother after stepping into the house . Is this kid your world?"
Wu Zeqing smiled . She was holding something in her hand and waved it around to her father . "How can that be? I bought edible bird's nest for you and Mom . I got someone to help me bring it over from Indonesia by air . "
"That's more like it . " Wu Changhe took it from her .
Li Qinqin walked up, taking short strides . "Come, the tea is ready . Come and have a taste . "
Wu Zeqing asked, "What type of tea?"
Wu Changhe said angrily, "Your mother is such a wasteful woman . She brewed tea using the Da Hong Pao tea leaves that you gave me that time . Whoa, didn't I say not to use so many tea leaves? Are you crazy? Why did you put in so many tea leaves? Isn't that a little too much?"
