Hearing this, Cherise felt upset.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. It's all in the past," the elderly man said, taking a deep breath.

Then he went on, "Miss, the way you just saved that person was quite skillful.

"Also, I noticed after you performed the CPR on him, that you pressed on some spots around his heart. Was that some kind of acupressure technique?" Cherise nodded in reply.

The elderly man looked at Cherise with admiration and remarked, "You're so young, yet your skills are already very refined.

"Our country really isn't short of talented people!"

He couldn't help but nod again and gave Cherise a thumbs-up.

"Well, sir, do you understand acupressure? Are you also a doctor? Cherise asked curiously.

The elderly man nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Sort of, but not entirely. I only know a little. It's not my main focus.

"However, that person I knew was quite skilled in it."

After speaking, he sighed again.

Cherise, for some reason, didn't want the elder to feel sorrow. Spotting the incomplete chessboard behind him, she suggested, "Sir, would you like me to finish our game of chess?"

The elderly man's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "Do you play chess?

"That's great. Let's play then!"

And so, Cherise and the elderly man sat across from each other.

From afar, the scene looked warm and harmonious.

Cherise glanced at the board as she sat down and said, "You go first, sir."

The elderly man looked at the poised girl in front of him, feeling an unexpected fondness. He said, "Miss, Rayburn Muller. Just call me Rayburn. ""Now we're friends."

Cherise chuckled and said, "Okay, Rayburn. My name is Cherise Leach."

Rayburn said, "Well, okay, Cherise!"

my name is

Rayburn thought, 'Cherise is truly impressive. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also humble, polite, and composed.

'Her clear eyes are pure and honest. She's unlike some young people nowadays who are eager for quick success without real abilities.

"The family that raised her must be truly fortunate, as she's a rare gem among young people.'

Rayburn and Cherise smiled at the same time.

Rayburn said, "Cherise, have the red pieces, so I'll start first!"

Cherise nodded.

Rayburn's slightly wrinkled hand picked up a chess piece and said, "I'll make the first move."

Cherise smiled silently and placed a pawn.

And so, the back-and-forth chess game began, with Rayburn's eyebrows gradually knitting together.

After a round, Cherise was relaxed and at ease, while Rayburn clenched his left fist.

In the next moment, Cherise calmly declared, "Checkmate with the bishop and rook; the knight has crossed the river. Rayburn, if you'll excuse me, I'm in a commanding position!"

Rayburn burst into laughter and said, "Well, I haven't felt this pleased in a long time. Cherise, my friend, you're truly a rare

talent!"

Cherise smiled and said, "Rayburn, your chess skills are amazing too! When two experts meet, it's all about who makes the quick moves!"

Hearing this, Rayburn laughed heartily, believing Cherise was really something.

Cherise checked the time and said, "Rayburn, it was nice meeting you, but I have to go now. I have some things to take care of."

She said this as she was to stand up.

Seeing this, Rayburn quickly spoke up with a regretful expression, "Wait a moment, Cherise! Next time you're out for your morning exercise, could you come replace me here again?"

Cherise looked at the friendly man she just met and explained with a friendly smile, "Rayburn, I'm not from around here. This is my first time visiting Hamolica, and I'm heading back to Betrico tonight." Hearing this, Rayburn felt a bit disappointed. The joy on his face from their chess game quickly faded.

Noticing his reaction, Cherise sweetly suggested, "Rayburn, do you have a WhatsApp account? We can connect there and stay in touch whenever we have time."

Rayburn's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Then he fetched a pair of reading glasses from his shirt pocket and perched them on his nose.

"Well, Cherise, this is my account," Rayburn said, with an awkward chuckle.

Cherise nodded, picked up her phone, and said, "All set."

Rayburn quickly accepted the friend request, smiling happily as if he had received a precious gift. SEND GIFT
