Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

This girl is Zhao Zhaoxia's daughter, named Yao Juan. She is sixteen years old and is a freshman in high school in the city's No. 6 Middle School.

It has been more than four years since Zhao Zhaoxia divorced her husband. After the divorce, Yao Juan has been living with her mother and grandmother.

Because of her lively, cheerful and approachable personality, as well as her cute and sweet appearance, she has also been sought after and paid attention to by many boys in school.

Chen Yang looked at Yao Juan with a smile and said, "Who told you not to come out? I thought you were still sleeping in."

Zhao Zhaoxia smiled and reminded: "Juanjuan, quickly pour tea for your aunt and uncle."

Yao Juan was very obedient and immediately went to get tea leaves, cups and hot water, and poured a cup of tea for each of Chen Yang's family of three.

Afterwards, Chen Ziqiang and Zhao Caixia started chatting with Zhao Zhaoxia and Xiao Lixiu in the living room.

Yao Juan listened for a while and felt that the content of the adults' chat was really boring.

After thinking about it, Yao Juan walked up to Chen Yang and gently tugged on his sleeve.

Chen Yang was watching TV. When he felt it, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Juan asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to play chess?"

"What chess are you playing?" Chen Yang asked.

Yao Juan immediately said: "I have chess, flying chess, backgammon, and draughts. You can play any one you want."

Chen Yang laughed after hearing this and teased her: "You can't beat me in any game!"

"Who said that!" Yao Juan was immediately unconvinced. She pulled Chen Yang's arm and said, "If you have the guts, come to my room and see who can win!"

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "I can play chess with you, but we have to agree first, what will happen if we lose?"

Yao Juan hesitated when she heard this, frowned and said: "If you lose...if you lose, you lose. What else do you want to do?"

"Of course it's a punishment! If there is no punishment, winning or losing will be meaningless." Chen Yang laughed.

"How do you want to punish me?" Yao Juan asked.

Chen Yang thought for a while and signaled Yao Juan to go into the room first, and then slowly discuss the punishment.

Soon, Chen Yang followed Yao Juan into her room.

Yao Juan's room is not big, it is the smallest room in the family.

When my grandfather was still alive, this was my grandfather's study. After my grandfather passed away, it was left unused.

Then Zhao Zhaoxia and her husband divorced, so they moved here with Yao Juan, and the study room was transformed into Yao Juan's bedroom.

Yao Juan's room is very clean and tidy, and the furnishings are similar to those in Chen Yang's room.

There is also a single bed, a study desk, and a bookshelf.

The difference is that the bookshelf is smaller, only half the size of Chen Yang's bookshelf.

But Yao Juan had a lot of books. Whatever she couldn't fit in the bookshelf, she put into two large cardboard boxes and piled them in the corner behind the bed.

As soon as Chen Yang entered the room, he smelled a faint fragrance. This was Yao Juan's favorite air freshener, lavender flavored.

Yao Juan opened the drawer and took out chess, flying chess and other chess games.

"Which one to play?" Yao Juan asked.

Chen Yang thought for a while, pointed at the flying chess piece and said, "That's it."

Chen Yang stayed up all night writing a novel without sleeping for a few hours. He really doesn't want to use his brain at the moment, so Ludo is the most suitable for him now.

When Yao Juan saw that Chen Yang had chosen Ludo, she immediately felt relieved.

Yao Juan is very aware of her own strength. She is not as good as Chen Yang in chess, backgammon or checkers, but flying chess is different. This game relies more on luck.

Yao Juan put away the other chess pieces and asked Chen Yang: "What's the penalty for losing?"

Chen Yang thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Hey, how many red envelopes have you got this year?"

Yao Juan's expression changed as soon as she heard this, and she immediately became alert: "Why do you ask this?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "How about this? When we play chess later, whoever's chess piece is knocked off and goes back to his hometown will give five yuan to the other party, and the final winner will treat him to skewers. How about that?"

"Five yuan a chess piece?" Yao Juan was a little surprised.

Yao Juan has only received two red envelopes in total so far. One was from her grandparents' house on New Year's Eve, which was worth 400 yuan.

The other one is the red envelope my mother just gave me this morning, which is worth 100 yuan.

However, Zhao Zhaoxia only left one hundred yuan in the red envelope from her grandparents to Yao Juan. Adding in the one hundred yuan she gave herself, Yao Juan only had two hundred yuan on hand.

"This is too much!" Yao Juan was reluctant, and she planned to keep the red envelope money to buy books.

Chen Yang knew that Yao Juan was afraid of losing, so he encouraged her: "How do you know that you will definitely lose? Ludo relies on luck. What if you are lucky enough to win today?"

Yao Juan hesitated, frowning, constantly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Finally, encouraged by Chen Yang's sweet words, Yao Juan mustered up the courage to make a decision and take a gamble with her cousin!

........................................

Twenty minutes later, the smile on Yao Juan's face had disappeared, and tears flowed down unsatisfactoryly.

Just now, the two of them played three games of flying chess.

I don’t know what kind of bad luck Chen Yang had. He was so lucky today that he actually knocked out 25 of Yao Juan’s chess pieces in total.

On the other hand, Yao Juan was extremely pitiful. After a lot of effort, she only knocked down 4 of Chen Yang's chess pieces.

In total, Chen Yang won by 21 chess pieces.

In other words, Yao Juan will lose 105 yuan to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang put the chess pieces back to the starting position and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's continue. I think you will definitely have a good luck in this game!"

Yao Juan was not willing to continue, so she reached out and pushed the chess pieces around, and said aggrievedly: "I...I don't want to play anymore..."

After saying that, Yao Juan turned around and became sulky.

Chen Yang tried his best to suppress his laughter, then stretched out his hand seriously and said: "Since I don't want to play anymore, then give me money..."

"Twenty-one multiplied by 21...that's 5 yuan. Since it's the New Year, I'll erase the 105 yuan change for you. Just give me 5 yuan!"

After saying that, Chen Yang's palm hooked at Yao Juan, urging her to give the money quickly.

When Yao Juan saw Chen Yang asking for money from her, she felt even more aggrieved and sad.

"Hey, you're giving me money. Do you understand if you accept the bet and lose?" Seeing that Yao Juan didn't respond, Chen Yang stretched out his hand and touched her arm.

At this moment, Yao Juan finally couldn't suppress her emotions, and her tears burst instantly.

Yao Juan cried and said: "I only had two hundred red envelopes in total, and you cheated me out of one hundred in one go. You...how could you do this to your sister?"

"I have planned these two hundred yuan for a long time. I want to buy books and birthday gifts for my good friends. I...if I give you a hundred yuan, it won't be enough!"

Seeing his sister crying so hard, Chen Yang not only didn't feel any guilt, but actually felt even happier.

At this time, Zhao Caixia, Zhao Zhaoxia and Xiao Lixiu in the living room all heard Yao Juan's cry, so they hurried over to see what happened.

After hearing the whole story, Zhao Caixia's face turned dark instantly.

Just when Zhao Caixia was about to punish Chen Yang, Chen Yang also spoke.

"Mom! I was just teasing Juanjuan. Your son and I are not a money fan. How could I really want her money?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Caixia's expression softened slightly.

"On New Year's Day, are you so funny? Look at how sad Juanjuan is crying. I think you did it on purpose!"

After Zhao Caixia finished speaking, she pinched Chen Yang's arm hard, causing Chen Yang to grin in pain.

When everyone saw that the two children were just having fun, they walked away and continued to do their own business.

Yao Juan was already crying like a tabby cat and ran to wash her face.

Chen Yang was sitting in Yao Juan's room, looking through the math winter vacation homework on his desk when he had nothing to do.

Chen Yang flipped through more than a dozen pages and found that half of the questions were blank, and the blank questions were all big questions.

Chen Yang carefully looked at a few of the empty questions and found that he could do them all.

Just as she was watching intently, Yao Juan came back.

When Yao Juan saw Chen Yang looking at her winter vacation math homework, she said angrily: "Why do you just peek at other people's things?"

Chen Yang glanced at her with a smile and said, "I didn't peek at your diary. What are you afraid of?"

Yao Juan snorted coldly, stepped forward and grabbed her winter vacation homework: "Okay, don't look at it, you can't do it anyway!"

Chen Yang was dissatisfied with Yao Juan's words and immediately became eager to win: "How do you know I can't do it?"
