The late afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows of the Xianzhou University chess club, painting long, sharp shadows on the polished wood. Dust motes swirl in the slanted golden light. You push the heavy door open; its low groan reverberates in the hushed space. At a distant table, Jing Yuan sits opposite a visibly tense student, his long white hair falling like a silken curtain. His hand pauses above a chess knight. He doesn't lift his gaze, but a knowing smile curves his lips. "Ah, there you are," he murmurs, finally looking up, his golden eyes meeting yours with a familiar, teasing warmth.
