Soul of Chess Special Chapter Thirteen

The news of Taya celebrity's comeback shocked all walks of life overnight.The spotlight is everywhere, and the face of the celebrity at the center of the public opinion whirlpool is calm.When the reporter asked if he would make a comeback because of Sai, the celebrity admitted directly, which made the sensation even bigger.

The screen was playing revolving scenes: celebrities and Taya Ryo being interviewed, the Celebrity Chess Fans Association issued a statement, all chess masters had high hopes for the celebrity's comeback...

"In your opinion, what is the significance of Sai appearing in the chess world after so many years?"

"You announced your comeback when sai became a professional chess player, does it mean that the two will meet in the new first-tier league?"

"May I ask if the celebrity's comeback is to witness the new wave of chess besides welcoming Sai's arrival?"

"The world's media commented on the strong rise of young Japanese chess players, led by Ryo Toya, who broke the winning streak, and Hikari Shindo, who won the title not long ago. Are the celebrities challenging the new young forces?"

……

I took a deep breath, and felt a long-distance wind blowing in the distant time and space, blowing from thousands of years ago, shining with the light of stars, bringing the freshness of early summer grass and trees, running through my body and soul.The huge impact and the exuberant vitality made my hand holding the chess pieces tremble unconsciously.

Zuo Wei, you will soon stand on the stage of history.At that time, no one can block your brilliance.

I want to ask Zuo Wei to watch TV reviews.I saw countless moonlight shining in the yard, long purple hair and snow-white clothes spreading all over the floor.Zuo Wei squatted in the mottled tree shadow with his back bent.

I am curious and amused.Zuowei is really like a child.

"Zoe, what are you doing?" I walked over.

"Light, be careful, don't step on it!" It turned out that Zuo Wei was picking up the tiny yellow fruits on the ground.

"Hey—the loquat tree is bearing fruit!" I realized, and turned my head to see that the loquat tree I planted when I bought the house was growing luxuriantly.The leaves have grown from a few sporadic ones to forty pieces. Although they are not tall, they are enough to bear small fruits precariously.

"How wonderful!" Zuo Wei also smiled, his eyes glistened like glass, "Guizhi must be very happy to come home later!"

Zuowei's happiness always comes very simply.I also laughed, "The house in Natsume's dream is like this!"

We picked up the fruits like two and a half children, counted them, and picked up a handful of loquat leaves.

Loquat leaves are thick and covered with a layer of fine fluff.I saw Zuo Wei holding one of the complete leaves in the palm of his hand. Under the moonlight, the veins of the leaf were shining brightly, with perfect lines.Zuo Wei put the loquat leaf in an envelope.

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

"I told Guizhi before that I would give Qing Lan a copy of the book." Zuo Wei said, "It is a custom in the Heian period to attach a complete leaf or petal to the envelope to express greetings to friends far away."

"Zuowei, you know so much! It's a pity that I don't have to take social studies now—"

Hearing my childish words, Zuo Wei couldn't help laughing.He touched my head affectionately: "There is no exam, it is always beneficial to know more."

"Don't touch it anymore. If you touch it again, you will become shorter. It's hard to be as tall as you..." I hugged my head and looked at the letterhead in Zuowei's hand——

"Out of the east gate, I left in the rain, and I haven't seen you again for a thousand years. Is Qing Lan safe? Fujiwara Sakai."

In just a few lines, there is an indescribable vicissitudes.

"In the long years of the millennium, we shouldn't be so shoulder-to-shoulder..." Zuowei sighed, "Guizhi knows her whereabouts, but he just doesn't want to say where she is. The monsters around him, such as Cing, are very cruel to humans. I'm very afraid of-"

I shook my head in disapproval: "If Qinglan is also afraid of humans, how could she have become a human and still be a professional chess player?"

Zoe was confused. "You're right. Then why did Qinglan leave in such a hurry?"

"You said... Could it be that... someone hurt your feelings?" I said hesitantly.

Zuo Wei was stunned when he heard the words, and with a gentle smile on his lips: "Guang, why did you say this suddenly? It doesn't look like you anymore."

I picked up the leaves and smiled: "I'm not a kid who doesn't understand anything anymore."

"Yeah, the little A Guang beside me has grown up." Zuo Wei also said, but his voice was a little fuzzy, and the outline of his face could not be seen clearly in the night, only a faint light flickered in his eyes.

Loquat leaves flew up from his palm and fell one by one.

<<

When playing chess until late at night, the wind picked up, and the wooden panes snapped shut, accompanied by thunderous thunder.The lightning illuminated the sky as bright as day, and Zuo Wei and I went to collect the clothes hanging in the yard.The loquat leaves swirled in all directions, and the hunting clothes rolled up in his arms were blown against his body by the wind. Zuo Wei raised his wide sleeves to cover his face.

"I remember that Guizhi is most afraid of thunder, and I don't know if he is safe now?" Zuo Wei's eyes showed concern.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard the lingering sound of the wind chime above my head like a torrential rain, and suddenly there was a crisp sound, which was blown down by the strong wind, and collapsed on the porch, torn apart.

"It's broken! This is the wind chime of Natsume's parents!"

I tidied up the fragments at a loss, feeling annoyed in my heart, and slowly became dazed.

That night I dreamed of ice and snow flying again.It is clearly midsummer, but the ice and snow in the dream are frozen tightly, and the Nike shoes make a creaking sound when stepping on the snow.I was wearing a golden down jacket, and I breathed a cloud of white steam into my hands, but it still couldn't stop the chill from spreading from the soles of my feet to my whole body.

I waited to see the igloo and stood patiently in the snow.

However, I waited for a long time, and there was only a vast expanse of whiteness.

There are no igloos.no one.Can't hear anything.I was the only one in the open snow, from beginning to end.
