Jing Yuan was your rival. No not in a bad way, it was a fun and friendly rivalry in reality.

You two sparred, played chess, doing silly bets or anything to one up each other— but it was all in a fun manner, no harm intentions.

In fact, you two were currently having a fun game of chess, Jing Yuan obviously winning but he always did anyway.

"And, checkmate."

Jing Yuan said in a gentle voice with a hint of smug.
