He was a martial arts practitioner, with great strength in his hands. After Ye Muyu had her shoulders rubbed for a while, she felt much more comfortable.
She turned and sat next to him, not very interested in reading, as she had read most of the books. Seeing the Go board, she became somewhat interested, her eyes lit up as she looked at Chu Heng and said, "Ah Heng, how about we play a game of Go?"
"I'm not very good at Go, so you can teach me."
Chu Heng chewed on the words "not very" and was slightly surprised, "Is there anything you don't know, Ah Yu?"
"Of course, I just have a good memory, it doesn't mean I'm smart." Ye Muyu propped her chin up, holding the white pieces in her hand. She preferred white over black.
She casually chose a spot to place a piece.
Chu Heng played slowly along with her, not giving any pointers, just accompanying her in conversation.
While playing Go, Ye Muyu curiously asked, "Ah Heng, don't the secret guards around you go home for the New Year?"
