I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 127: I love you too

The Night fell, and the distant and melodious songs of the grassland still echoed.

The herdsmen, unaware of the Emperor Qi's grief and indifferent to the misfortune of the prince in the capital, rode on sturdy steeds, traversing bright water marshes one after another.

They would occasionally let out a clear whistle or burst into song, and the silver moon and stars in the pool splashed onto the totems embroidered on their robes.

Such songs only existed in the distant wilderness.

Within the heavily guarded tent, Xiao Jin could only hear faint echoes. She was also surprised how someone could endure loneliness to this extent in the late hours of the night. With no microphone or audience, what was the point of singing out loud?

After a moment, she figured it out. Disturbing others didn't require a reason. As long as these men couldn't sleep, no one else could either.

Xiao Jin silently criticized this selfish behavior in her heart.

Meanwhile, Chu Shao, who sat opposite her, raised her chin and reminded her, "Your Highness, it's your move."

Xiao Jin realized she had been distracted and responded, "Okay."

She looked down at the chessboard, contemplating and contemplating, but couldn't come up with a heroic way to die in the face of the white stones that had reached a deadlock.

Both sides had already formed four connected stones. What more could she do? Surrendering was undoubtedly the most sensible choice.

Yes, as a modern young woman, even if she wanted to challenge the biological clock of ancient people with some pastimes, she wouldn't choose to assassinate time with Go.

Faced with Chu Shao, whose military prowess and intelligence clearly surpassed the setting, she ultimately chose the basic game of Connect Five that almost everyone in the modern era knew how to play.

Although Connect Five seemed to have been invented during the era of the Yellow Emperor, Go remained the mainstream in ancient times.

Xiao Jin didn't quite believe that the female lead of an alternate history novel would know how to play Connect Five, so she happily invited Chu Shao to play against her.

As it turned out, Chu Shao really didn't understand the rules of the game at first.

She frowned as she watched her own pieces being slaughtered by Xiao Jin, but she always gently picked them up and put them back in her hand. "Your Highness, let's play another round."

Xiao Jin established the rule that the winner would switch to playing with black pieces and enjoyed a brief moment of victory.

After that, she always ended up with white pieces.

After losing her feeling due to numbness, Xiao Jin rubbed her temple and finally placed her stones on the board, admitting defeat. "Princess, your skills in the game are excellent. I lost."

Chu Shao smiled and said, "Your Highness is too modest."

Xiao Jin had a strong competitive spirit, and it was impossible for her to let others win.

So, she accepted her defeat wholeheartedly, openly admitting it.

After all, Chu Shao was the original female lead in the novel. She could recite poetry when she was two or three years old, attract the attention of the male lead at five or six, and grow up to be a stunning beauty at fourteen or fifteen.

Not to mention winning a few games of Connect Five, as the female lead, it would be reasonable for her to cheat in any aspect.

Could Xiao Jin control the destiny of a paper character?
