Twelve Days of Christmas of YuZhou [YuZhouverse]

Tenth Days of Christmas: Ten Times The Fun

The next day came for JingYu and Zhou Zhou very quickly. One day was taken off from their spontaneous days off. As the two ate the remnants of the food they made yesterday, the two had gotten bored from watching the same movies they had with them. After taking turns using the bathroom and washing their hands, the two came into the living room and brainstormed on what to do for the whole day. Instead of watching movies the whole day, they spent half of the day looking for stuff and things to do while they were cleaning up their living room.

As they cleaned, they found games to play, such as Jenga, Clue, Scrabble, and some old games like Battleship and Connect Four. As JingYu and Zhou Zhou continued in finishing up on cleaning the mess they've made during last night's of senseless watching and vigorous activities, they found more games. A homemade deck of cards that was given by a fan, black and white stones of Chinese board game called Go, and chess board game. These findings set motion for the two to play long arduous games later on. 

After the clean up, the two perched on their couched with their feet propped on the glass table. Next to their feet were some games such as Go, a box housing the Jenga blocks, and a handmade drawings and printed pictures on a deck of cards. The rest of the games were scattered on their carpeted floor. 

"So," JingYu elongated his word as he stared at the many games they both decided to play at least once. "Which game do you wanna play first?"

Zhou Zhou shrugged his shoulders at JingYu, closing his eyes. 

"I'll pick the first game then." 

JingYu went to grabbed the game Connect Four, a simple game to ease his tired lover into the game. He placed the game in front of them while Zhou Zhou tried to separate the reds and blues. 

"Here's your chips," Zhou Zhou muttered, at the same time, giving JingYu the blue small disks. "You can start if you want."

"En."

Both started playing can JingYu went first. As the game progress, it was already the fifth round. Zhou Zhou kept losing as his focus wasn't in the game. His calm compose was beginning to crack. Annoyance festered on his at his one more loss.

"I wanna play a different game now." As he slammed the his red chip down, Zhou Zhou irritatingly crossed his arms. His mouth downturned as his lower lip sticking out. 

Boisterous laugh came from JingYu as he accept Zhou Zhou's defeat at making four pieces of his chips form a line. 

"JingYu," warned Zhou Zhou towards JingYu.

"Okay, okay." JingYu waved his hands in a backing motion, trying to calm Zhou Zhou. "What kind of game do you wanna play next?"

Pondering, Zhou Zhou glanced at the games around them. "Let's play... that." His finger pointed at the wooden square board game. JingYu's face twisted as he saw where it was pointing at. "I want to try playing that game with you."

"Fine," JingYu agreed. "I already know how this will go."

A smirk appeared on Zhou Zhou's face. His eyes twinkled at the sight of JingYu's worrying face. He glanced, from time to time, separating the black and white stones while JingYu placed the square board as much as careful as he can be.

"Come on! I'm done separating the stones. Ready to lose a face?" Zhou Zhou's dimple came out with his smug face.

JingYu's high spirited came crashing down. Appearing on his face was regret for poking fun of his boyfriend. "Go easy on me?" 

"We'll see."

The board shows a nineteen vertical and horizontal lines that makes it three hundred sixty one intersecting lines. At the center of every nine points are dotted and called star points. The dot in the middle is called Central Star. The winner of this game are as goes, whoever gets the most stones of the opponent or whoever surrenders.
