[Soul of Chess] What if

Of course Ah Guang didn't miss San Gu's murmur.

"...I won." He repeated softly, and then murmured involuntarily, "Great...this is really great..."

Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Zuo Wei's slightly panicked voice: "Ah Guang! Why are you crying::>_<::"

"Huh?" Ah Guang looked at Zuo Wei in confusion, and at this moment, he saw himself in the mirror.

It turned out that the sockets of his eyes had turned red for some time.Now, big, crystal-clear liquids are constantly falling down.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he slowly raised his right hand, wiped it under his eye socket, and then felt a cool touch from his right hand.

"Ah... so I really cried..." A Guang stared blankly at the liquid on his fingertips and said.

Aware of Zuo Wei's uneasiness, Ah Guang quickly comforted him: "I'm fine, really, so Zuo Wei, don't show such a nervous expression."

"then you……"

Zoe still looked uneasy.Seeing this, Ah Guang explained with some embarrassment: "I was just too happy and couldn't hold back for a while, so..."

After hearing Ah Guang's answer, Zuo Wei was stunned for a moment, and then an extremely gentle smile gradually appeared on his face.He looked at Ah Guang gently, and while stroking the other's somewhat frizzy hair, he said slowly in a soft voice: "Ah Guang really worked very hard today. Thank you, Ah Guang. Really Thank you very much :)”

Hearing Zuo Wei's words, Ah Guang's tears seemed to burst a bank in an instant, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.The worry about the ending that had been suppressed in my heart before, the self-blame and regret after making a mistake, and the helplessness of not knowing what to do all emerged at this moment.

He really wanted to cry aloud, to vent all the emotions in his heart.But at the same time, he was also very clear that this was not a place to cry bitterly, so he could only cover his mouth and sob softly.

Seeing Ah Guang's tearful appearance, Zuo didn't say why.He just quietly watched the slightly young child in front of him, and gently stroked the other's head again and again.

"Shinto?"

After Ah Guang finally calmed down, before he had time to feel embarrassed, he heard a slightly worried voice from the receiver.

It wasn't until he heard this voice that Ah Guang suddenly realized that he was on the phone with San Gu before that!

Wow, Sangu must have heard it, right? !

If that's the case, I always feel ashamed to say...Q_Q

"Shinto, the opponent has already conceded just now." Perhaps thinking that Aguang hadn't heard what he said to himself before, Mitani reported the result of the game.

"Well, I see." Ah Guang quickly responded, "Thank you so much today, Sangu."

"..."

After a second or two of silence on the other side of the receiver, there was a low response: "You're welcome."

After that, both of them fell into silence.

Thinking that the time since he came out was not short, and he didn't know if He Gu doubted himself again, after hesitating for a while, Ah Guang said hesitantly: "Then... I'll hang up first, let's talk another day? "

"...En." After a brief pause, the other party simply responded, and then ended the call.

When Ah Guang tiptoed away from the room, he heard Hegu and Yijiao discussing something around the chessboard.Perhaps because they were too focused, they didn't notice the movement at the door at all.

Before the two of them noticed him, Ah Guang quietly moved towards the chessboard.

"White should not play white 270 first, but first play white 272, and then raise the ko at the nineteenth of 1. In this way, when both sides rob, white can use 270 as a ko, so that white will not It was reversed." He Gu was rehearsing on the chessboard while talking.

"Well, that's right." Yi Jiao nodded approvingly, "Besides, Bai 276's move is not very good. It shouldn't make a 1/[-] pounce, but should raise jie first."

"Hmm... I think this move can be regarded as a loss." He Gu pointed to the white piece on the chessboard which was 19 out of [-].He was about to continue to say something, and he seemed to feel something, so he raised his head and looked in the direction of Ah Guang.

Unexpectedly, He Gu would look over suddenly, and Ah Guang couldn't help but pause.

"Shinto, you're back?" He Gu asked in surprise.

Before Ah Guang could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the next question from the other party: "When did you come back? It couldn't be just now, could it?"

Oops!

Hearing He Gu's question, Ah Guang's nerves suddenly tensed up.

"Uh... this..." He tried to put on a troubled expression to delay the time, while searching for an excuse in his mind.

Just as he was trying to organize his speech in his mind, Yijiao, who had been on the sidelines, said disapprovingly: "He Gu, don't ask."

"Hey, what's the matter?" He Gu asked puzzled.

Not only He Gu, but Ah Guang was also confused, he couldn't help looking at Yi Jiao suspiciously.

The strange thing is that as soon as he moved his eyes, he saw Yijiao was gesturing to Hegu with his eyes in a slightly serious manner. After a few seconds, Hegu also turned his head and looked at himself seriously.After seeing something, He Gu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then, the original interest in his eyes disappeared.

Now Ah Guang is even more confused about the situation: what are they looking at?Is there something strange about yourself?

Full of doubts, he lowered his head and checked carefully.Unfortunately, he looked at it for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong.In desperation, he had no choice but to seek answers from the two parties directly: "That... what's wrong with you?"

This is a very common question, but the strange thing is that the two people in front of them seem to be difficult to answer.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Yijiao spoke: "Shinto, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"What?" Ah Guang didn't quite understand Yi Jiao's meaning.

Looking at the confused A Guang, Yijiao explained hesitantly: "Hmm... your eyes and the tip of your nose are red, and it looks like you've been crying for a long time, so I wondered if something happened. "

"!"

After listening to Yi Jiao's answer, Ah Guang subconsciously reached out and rubbed his somewhat dry eye sockets.

It took too long to vent before, and when he finally calmed down, he found that his eyelids were very red and swollen.In order not to attract too much attention, before leaving the bathroom, he deliberately applied water to his eyes several times until it seemed less obvious.

But I didn't expect to be discovered by someone...

Although he was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground immediately, Ah Guang was still very grateful to Yijiao for discovering that he had cried before.

After all, if there is no Yi Jiao's voice, I guess I am still being pressed by He Gu at this moment ==

Thinking about it this way, Ah Guang didn't mind so much.After thinking for a while, he scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly: "Uh... Actually it's not a big deal, but seeing that Sai is about to lose, I feel very uncomfortable, so..."

"Huh? Just because of this?" As if hearing something unbelievable, He Gu's eyes widened, and his shoulders suddenly collapsed.

Hearing He Gu's unbelievable exclamation, Ah Guang just maintained the awkward and helpless smirk on his face.

After staring at A Guang for a while, He Gu sighed as if giving up: "I really convinced you that you care so much about Sai..." After finishing speaking, he patted A Guang on the shoulder, pointed to the screen and added : "Fortunately, you don't have to worry, because Sai is the one who wins in the end."

"Really?!" Ah Guang was surprised, and even his eyes became bright.In the next second, as if he wanted to confirm something, he excitedly moved to the computer screen.

Of course, this is what Ah Guang worked hard to make.

After all, according to the current setting, it is impossible for him in the bathroom to know the result of the game.Therefore, if he didn't show unexpected emotions after hearing the news of Sai's victory, it means that he already knew about it before that.In that case, all his performance just now would become a rather poor disguise, and things would become even more troublesome as a result.

Because his current opponent is Kazuya who has excellent observation and judgment skills...

Fortunately, as if he really believed his own words, until Ah Guang was about to leave Hegu, he didn't ask any more questions about this matter.This made Ah Guang's nerves that had been tense for the past two days finally heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Ah Guang was too early to worry.

"In the end, I still can't figure out the answer... But, it's more interesting this way~" Watching Shinto's back gradually receding, Kazuya showed a smile full of interest.

On the other side, Taya Mansion.

After the match between sai and Xu Zhangyuan, Ta Ya carefully arranged the game again on the chessboard, savoring every move in the game carefully.By the time he could almost see the deep meaning behind each word, it was getting late.

He raised his head and glanced at the clock on the cabinet, and saw that the hour hand was almost pointing to the number 8.

"Father and the others haven't come back yet..." Taya sighed softly, and then began to tidy up the chess pieces on the board.After all the chess pieces were put into the chess box, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Recently, his father and mother have been leaving early and returning late. Although Akiko's mother will prepare breakfast and lunch in advance, he needs to find a way to solve the dinner by himself.

Father and the others are so busy not because they are participating in the competition, but because they are preparing for a rather grand ceremony, that is - the celebration ceremony for breaking through the [-]th stage of Dazhumen.

In fact, this festival has been on the schedule five years ago, and it has been in operation since last spring.With such sufficient preparation time, it stands to reason that there would not be any major omissions, so father and the others should be doing the final confirmation work recently, after all, the ceremony will be officially held in three days.

Hmm... I miss the grilled fish my mother made... Looking at the frozen food in front of me, Taya couldn't help but think of this sentence.
