[Soul of Chess] What if

It is one o'clock in the morning.

For some reason, since receiving the news from the Chess Academy during the day, Ah Guang felt that his heart was in a mess, so that he didn't feel sleepy until now.

Among the tangled thoughts, nothing caused Ah Guang the most headache than asking for leave.

Although I agreed to play, how can I ask for leave from the chess academy... ○○(＞＜)○○

The competition time is from 02:30 to 03:30 in the afternoon, should I take a day off or half a day off... 〒▽〒

Thinking that he might have to keep thinking about the reasons for asking for leave like this in the future, Ah Guang's mood became even more unhappy.

After tossing and turning for a long time, he decided to go downstairs to get a glass of water and get some air.

"Little Light?"

As soon as Ah Guang walked out of the room, before he could release his hand from the doorknob, he heard a questioning voice from behind.He turned his head, and saw his father standing in front of the study, holding a stack of materials in his hand, it seemed that he had just finished work.

"dad?"

Ah Guang turned around in a little surprise: "Is the work just over now?"

"Well, yes, it took a lot of work." Zhengfu replied while rubbing his shoulders, looking very tired, "What about you? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"... suddenly felt a little thirsty, so I woke up." After a moment of hesitation, Ah Guang replied.

"That's it..." Zhengfu looked at Ah Guang gently, "Then, I'll go back to my room first. You should also go to bed early, don't you have to go to the chess academy to study tomorrow?"

"Uh...um." Ah Guang looked away and responded softly.

Seeming to have sensed Ah Guang's anomaly, Zhengfu stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong? You don't look energetic."

"..." Ah Guang bit his lower lip lightly, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Zheng Fu said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and talk about it, don't disturb my mother's rest."

"……it is good."

After quietly coming to the restaurant downstairs, Zhengfu first put the documents in his hand on the dining table, then picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water, and handed one of them to Ah Guang before he sat down. down.

"Have you encountered any trouble?" Zheng Fu looked at Ah Guang and asked warmly.

Ah Guang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I may not be able to go to the chess academy tomorrow..."

Hearing such an answer, Masao asked in confusion, "Oh? Is there something wrong with the school?"

"Not a school..."

"That is?"

"..."

Seeing Ah Guang's perplexed face, Zheng Fu sighed softly, and then changed the question: "Is it a very important matter?"

"Well, it's very important." Although the voice was very soft, Ah Guang's expression was firm.

"Xiao Guang." After watching Ah Guang silently for a while, Zheng Fu finally spoke.

"You have changed a lot this year. Not only have you become more sensible, but you have also become more stable. Dad believes that you didn't go to the chess academy because you were lazy, right?" He couldn't help laughing at this point.

After Ah Guang nodded, he continued: "I have never asked about your becoming a college student, because Dad knows that since you made up your mind to do it, there must be something attracting you, even if we Parents didn't urge you, and you won't give up easily until you get an answer. So, no matter what your grades are in school or in the chess academy, we never said anything more."

"It's just that there are always too many choices in life. Those dazzling options will make people lose their way unconsciously, and finally gradually forget what their original intention is."

"Although I don't know what is the most important thing in your mouth, and I won't ask too much. But, Xiaoguang, why did you decide to become a college student? For you, the most important thing now is What?"

Seeing that Ah Guang was lost in thought because of his own words, Zheng Fu didn't say anything more.He picked up the glass and drank slowly, and he didn't put the glass down until he finished drinking the water in it.

"I will help you ask for leave at the Chess Academy." He said before leaving.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to speak, his father knew about his original troubles. Ah Guang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.He tightened his hands on his knees and said in a low voice, "...Thank you, Dad."

"Go to sleep." Zheng Fu patted Ah Guang on the shoulder, and then went upstairs.

Hearing the sound of the door closing upstairs, Ah Guang sat for a while before standing up.

After Ah Guang returned to the room, Zuo Wei, who had been silent all the way, said apologetically, "Ah Guang, I'm sorry...it's all because of me that you have to ask for leave again..."

"There's no way around it~ So you don't have to apologize, Zuowei. :)" A Guang replied pretending to be relaxed.

After simply comforting Zuo Wei, Ah Guang relaxed and lay on the bed.

Yes, for me, what is the most important thing right now?

Although he had no idea about this problem, perhaps because the big trouble of asking for leave was finally solved, Ah Guang still fell asleep.

Today is February 1.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and the last game of the second stage of the Nongshim Cup will start in half an hour.

The challenger for this game has been determined, and it is the Japanese team.However, there is no news about which chess player will play.However, everyone feels that Ogata Jiudan is more likely to appear.

After all, Sai is like a hole card, so it shouldn't be dispatched so early.Before the list was announced, people thought so.

What is surprising is that the person who appeared on the stage turned out to be Sai, who everyone thought was the most unlikely! (⊙o⊙)

As soon as the news was announced, it quickly spread on the Internet.

Regarding this arrangement, there are various attitudes: some cheered non-stop, because they could appreciate Sai's superb chess skills in the official game again; The Japanese team's appearance means that the Japanese team has won the championship in advance; there are those who fight for Sai, they think that Qiyuan sent Sai to play in advance, which is a manifestation of distrust of his strength, and so on.

Of course, the one who reacted most violently was Wang Lei who was defending the ring.Ever since he got the news, he has been holding his head in love.

Although he had studied sai's chess records before, it was really too much for him to fight.

"Yo~XD"

When Yang Hai passed by Wang Lei, he patted Wang Lei on the shoulder heavily. After seeing the other person's expression clearly, he exaggeratedly surprised and said, "What's wrong? It looks like the end of the world."

"What do you think?" Wang Lei glanced at his teammates who were gloating.

"I don't understand. Don't you admire Sai the most?" Yang Hai blinked innocently, "Now I finally have a chance to fight, cherish it! I will burn more incense sticks for you~ "

"Hey!"

After such a toss by Yang Hai, Wang Lei's mood was not so heavy.

However, sai is not an opponent that he can win if he is in good condition.

During the layout, there were several questionable moves in the white chess held by Wang Lei, but fortunately, the problem was not serious, so his mood could barely remain calm.However, Heizi's all-in-one tricks disrupted his thoughts all at once.

This move is very intriguing.Because it was because of Sai's move that Wang Lei saw the problem with his previous move——

White's 34 should have jumped at the 5th of the 4th, thereby limiting the development of Black's lower power, but he dropped White's stone at the [-]th of the [-]th, missing the good opportunity to take advantage.

The mistake of that move made him anxious, so the 50th move was overplayed. Of course, he was immediately counterattacked by black, and White fell into a hard fight.

After that, he had a chance to reverse the situation, as long as he discarded the remaining pieces at 9/8 tigers, but unfortunately he failed to seize the opportunity, so he was on the verge of [-]/[-] when Sai placed black Throw in the towel.

At this time, there are only 117 chess pieces on the board, that is to say, there are still 240 four places where chess pieces can be placed, but there is no need to continue this game.

So far, the first "Nongshim Xin Ramen Cup" three-nation team competition has finished 8 rounds, 8 players have been knocked out of the ring, and the remaining 7 players are: Chinese Wang Xing, Hua Songli, Japanese Sai, Oo Fang Jingci, Korea Xu Zhangyuan, Lee Changho, Liu Changhe.China and Japan each have two players left, while South Korea has three players left. The situation is more severe for the Chinese and Japanese teams.

However, the strength of these seven chess players should not be underestimated, so it is still unknown who will win.In short, the real contest between the three countries has only officially begun now.

The first match of the third stage will be held in South Korea on March 3. At that time, the South Korean team will take the lead in challenging Sai.Which chess player will the South Korean team play? How will Sai behave?Can he really break through five levels and kill five generals in a row, and win in the end?These people have no way of knowing.

The matter of the Nongshim Cup has come to an end for the time being.

Before the school's spring break, Zuo Wei has no official competition arrangements for the time being, which means that in the past few months, Aguang can finally be an ordinary junior high school student with peace of mind, and no longer has to worry about whether Zuo Wei will have a competition the next day Arranged and worried.

only……

Looking at the two friends who had been staring at him from the beginning, Ah Guang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: Hey, what's going on?Am I really too early to worry?

Just when he kept thinking about the reason why the other party saw him like this, he heard Kazuya's voice: "Hey, Shinto, we already know the reason for your leave."

Aang's eyes widened in an instant.

Not only Ah Guang, but even Zuo Wei couldn't keep calm anymore.They looked at He Gu with a serious expression on the opposite side in astonishment.

The author has something to say:

ah ah ah ah!Did Hegu and the others find out? !

Thank you Snow for delivering mines!Thank you for your continued support! =^_^=
