Staggered parallel to our existence

Swaying in Liang's heart.

"You are my son, and I know everything about you."

Tatsuya froze in place, bewildered.

"Teacher Xingyang, are you really looking for that child? Do you want her to become a professional player?" Ogata also had no clue what Xingyang was thinking about.I heard Xingyang talk about that child before, and he seemed to dislike him very much.

"Father!" Liang lowered his head and bowed ninety degrees, "I'm sorry, Father! I made you worry. I will adjust my state. Please don't go to her, please? Her chess skills are only for beginners, no Qualified to enter the professional chess world!"

"Very well, as long as my son is like this, you don't have to worry about the rest."

For the two games in the afternoon, for those who were lucky enough to win one game against Ryo Taya in the morning, they would definitely lose after Ryo Taya regained his vitality.Before the two games reached the middle game, the opponent was already unable to do what he wanted, so he had to admit defeat early to avoid suffering.Ta Yaliang's eyes were as fierce and tenacious as before, nothing is more important than doing well in the present moment.

The three-day initial league has ended, and Ryo Taya lived up to expectations and won the top place.The cultural and sports news reports on Liang reached a small peak again.

On the night at the end of March, the wind seemed to become warmer, and it was not so bitter and biting. There was no moon in the sky, but the stars were dotted with brilliance, which was another beautiful scene in the world.

At Taya's house, her mother, Akiko, was preparing dinner. The lights were brightly lit, and the aroma of the food was tangy.Father flipped through the chess records as usual, and studied chess games thousands of years ago on the chessboard.

"Do you think we are getting more and more backward in the game of Go or are we always improving? Liang." His father seemed to be talking to himself or asking Liang for his opinion. But it still can’t be solved.”

"The chess game thousands of years ago, did father mean the Heian Dynasty?"

"Yes." In his father's hand is a chess record that records various famous chess players in the Heian Dynasty. There is a game on it between Sugawara Kentada and Fujiwara Sakai.

"In ancient times, there was no such thing as handicap in chess, so whoever plays black first has an advantage. Now we hold black, and at the end of the game, black must have more than five and a half eyes to win. That is to say According to the modern rules, the chess player named Fujiwara Sakai did not lose." Xing Yang stared at the chess board as if lost, "Unfortunately, after losing this game, Sakai never played Go again. "

"Why don't you stop playing chess if you lose one game?" Liang also lost a game, but it was the first time he heard that he stopped playing chess after losing.

"he died."

Liang was stunned.

"It's time to eat! I made Xiao Liang's favorite fish today!" Ming Zi was busy in the kitchen, and to celebrate Xiao Liang's victory, he naturally cooked a table of delicious food.Suddenly, after hearing the story his father told, Liang seemed not in the mood to eat anymore.

After dinner, Ryo took his father's game record, and replayed the match between Kentada Sugawara and Saku Fujiwara as shown above.

"Liang, don't study too late, although you don't have a game tomorrow." Father came in, "Tomorrow I invited a guest to our house, how can we entertain the guest if we don't have a good rest."

"Excuse me?"

"The person you've always wanted to meet, your female apprentice, Red Maria."

The chess piece in Ta Yaliang's hand fell to the plate, and the girl's face couldn't be erased, and it went deep into his mind, and the memories were all about the short but sweet time in the past half month.

"I know you can't forget her. So, I will let you see clearly the boundary between you and her, so that you can die."

Taya Ryo was dumbfounded.Without her presence, he might never have enjoyed the ease and happiness that a junior high school student should have, and he would never have been affirmed and respected by his peers.How pale his memory would be without her.However, now his and her everything, the father would be so opposed.

I don't know how to face it.It seems that there is no choice.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The doorbell of Taya's house was rang, and Red Maria in a white gauze dress walked in, followed by Ruka Saenono.

"Hello." Liang stepped forward and bowed.

"Hello." Maria returned the salute, and at the same time bowed to Taya's parents.

"Please sit down, both of you, I'll make tea." Akiko turned and went to the kitchen.

"Guests come from afar, my Jialiang is very happy." Xingyang sat down by himself, and Liang beside him lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Xiaoliang, it's been a long time." Maria smiled softly, and there was no blood on her white and transparent skin.

Hearing this long-lost "Teacher Xiao Liang", Liang also smiled gently, "Long time no see."

"Liang has taught you how to play Go for a while, let me see your current level." Xing Yang carried the chess table over and tidied up the board, with the posture that must be played.

"Father, I have only studied for half a month, and I am not yet capable of playing chess with you." Liang wanted to dissuade him. His father is the pinnacle of the Go world. This is recognized by the public. Almost no one can match his father. Now, his father This is to make things difficult for the girl on purpose.

"After a few days of learning, you can tell whether a person has a talent for Go. If you have this talent, then you can go to the college to learn stronger chess skills. In the future, you will join professional Go like our Jialiang. If you don't This talent, then please don't bother our family Liang again, after all Liang is a professional chess player, and he doesn't have so much energy to spend on irrelevant things." Xing Yang's eyes were locked tightly, showing a fierce look like a lion.

"Ah, what a terrifying look." Maria propped her chin up with both hands, her voice was soft, "You still go your own way like always, keeping a distance from us all the time, it's really hard to relax."

"I'll give you ten pieces, and you play black first," Xingyang moved the black box in front of Maria's hand, "so that you won't tell others that Tayao Xingyang didn't give up a piece when he played chess with you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Celebrity." Maria took over the black chess piece and made the black go first.

"Father, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to defeat you with such a handicap! Maria's chess skills were taught by me, and I know her true strength."

"Liang has pleaded for you. Let you have twenty sons. Remember, this is the bottom line."

"Let's change the subject, Mr. Celebrity, why do you reject me so much?" Maria said softly as she settled down.

"When playing chess, you must concentrate on playing chess. Other than that, don't talk." With a blunt tone, there was a ruthless fight on the chessboard.

Down to the middle game, Liang already knew the situation on the board, and Maria's black chess pieces had been completely wiped out, leaving no way out.Father seldom has such ruthless moves, even against opponents who are very difficult to win in chess, he will not kill him so painfully.

"Do you want to continue the game? You have nowhere to go." Xingyang's serious and cold eyes locked on Maria again.

In the match between Maria and Xingyang, I have already used my understanding of Go to the extreme. However, even if I handed over twenty pieces, how could a novice who has just learned to win against a famous gentleman who has played Go for most of his life.Maria's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and her palms were also clenched in cold sweat. She bit her lips tightly, as if she was fighting against her own stubbornness.

"It's better to admit defeat, Maria, how could you beat my father." Liang persuaded in a low voice.

"With your talent, I don't think it's necessary to continue learning Go. There will be more and more games in my home, so please don't come to disturb me." Xing Yang got up, "Go back, from now on, Ta The Ya family does not welcome you."

"You! No, I didn't lose, and I can continue the game!" Maria seemed to have a burst of blood in her heart that she couldn't hold back from the beginning of the game and couldn't release it now. Hearing Xing Yang's words, she was even more angry and out of breath Next, a mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the entire chess board red.Maria fell back and her eyes sank.

"Taya Yukihiro! Don't go too far!" Rujia stood up, her pupils were red, and the aura in the air was controlled by her hands, "No! Rujia loves you!" Maria threw herself into Rujia's arms , "Don't do things that embarrass Teacher Xiaoliang. Send me back, the future will be long."

Liang suddenly recalled the scene where Maria suddenly went berserk that night. He was afraid that he would not see Maria again, and he couldn’t control it so much. He followed behind and chased out of the road. At this time, Maria, who was already weak and unable to speak, had no words. No strength, just fell asleep in Rujia's arms.

"Maria! Maria! What's wrong with you? Is it the same as last time, you just ignored me suddenly? You said you don't want me to guide you in chess again! Maria!" Liang was extremely anxious, never thinking of a match. The situation has gotten so bad.

"Don't you think you're not troublesome enough? Can you get the hell out of me? It's all because of you! An eyesore!" Ru Jia shook off Ryo's hand that wanted to touch Maria, picked her up and put her on the back seat of the car, and drove away and go.

His eyes turned red instantly, and the boy who had never shed tears since he was a child cried at this moment.Tears rolled down his cheeks, soaking his white shirt.Why didn't he stop Maria, he knew that his father didn't like Maria, why did he let her play against his father?It was all because of my own powerlessness that Maria was seriously injured!

Ta Yaliang was in a complicated mood and couldn't say anything. He didn't want to go home to face his father, and he was even more worried about Maria's injury.
