Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap.

“Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He’s already beaten me twice!” Aren waved at her.

Paul chuckled. “Why don’t you mention that you’ve beaten me before too?”

“Well, not as many times as you’ve beaten me!”

Miranda went over with a smile. “I’m not very skilled at chess. I’m only good at observing.”

Aren said, “Sometimes it takes an outsider to see things clearly! Mimi, help me look at this part. Is there any way to break through?”

“Let me see…” Miranda studied the board carefully. “Actually, you could…”

Paul suddenly interjected, “Miranda, you shouldn’t talk while watching a game.”

She immediately fell silent and gave Aren a helpless smile, as if to say, “See? It’s not that I don’t want to help out.”

Aren was taken aback. Paul was really too much! He didn’t even give an old man like him a break!

But then again, Aren preferred playing against someone who took the game seriously. What was the point of being let off easy? It would only feel patronizing.
