[Soul of Chess] What if

Ah Guang took a deep breath, solemnly hung the admission ticket on his body, and then stepped into Haiwang Middle School.

As soon as he entered the school gate, Aguang clearly felt the completely different atmosphere here from Haze Middle School.

Perhaps it is because of the consistent education of national and high schools here that the campus covers an exceptionally large area.In addition, the walls here are very high, and the buildings are full of austere atmosphere.

Since today is the day of the exam, there are no other people in the campus except the candidates and parents who entered the venue, as well as the staff maintaining order.Therefore, the whole school seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Some of the people who came to take the exam came alone like Ah Guang, but most of the children came to the exam room accompanied by their parents.

考试从8点50分开始，共考国语、算数、社会、理科4门功课，每科考试40分钟，中间休息20分钟，12点30分时考试结束。12点45分到13点25分，考生按照准考证号码的顺序分批退场。考试期间考生是不能出考场的。

In order to make it easier for parents to wait and maintain order in the examination room, Haiwang Middle School specially set up an indoor sports field next to the examination room as a parents' lounge.The air conditioner in the venue was fully turned on, which was in stark contrast to the cold wind outside.

Although it was still very early, the auditorium was already full of dark crowds.However, even so, the room does not seem noisy.After everyone entered the venue in an orderly manner, they quickly sat down in the vacant seats.Even if you have to talk, you will deliberately lower your voice.As a result, the huge venue was exceptionally orderly.

Aguang came to his examination room according to the guide map posted on the bulletin board.

After the invigilator checked the information, Ah Guang walked into the classroom.At this time, almost all the candidates had arrived, so A Guang quickly found his seat.

Hikaru's seat is in the center of the classroom.Not long after he sat down, he started handing out papers in a short while.

The test paper was passed from the front.Ah Guang took his own share, passed it to the seat behind, and then turned back to his own table.

He sat there, taking deep breaths repeatedly, trying to calm down his slightly nervous emotions.

Then, with a "beep--", the entrance examination of Haiwang Middle School officially kicked off.

After the bell rang for the start of the exam, everyone turned over the exam papers together.

There was silence in the classroom, only the sound of answering questions could be heard.

After feeling his emotions eased, Ah Guang began to concentrate on the examination paper.

When Aguang was immersed in answering, Zuowei stood quietly at the side all the time, watching Aguang tenderly.

During this period of time, how much Ah Guang has changed, perhaps only I, who has been by Ah Guang's side, know best.

He saw the scene of Ah Guang reciting textbooks by street lights in the biting cold wind.He saw the picture of Ah Guang constantly slapping his cheeks with cold water, just to make his mind clearer.He saw Ah Guang struggling to calculate for a long time, but still unable to solve the problem successfully, even though he shed tears in frustration, he still firmly picked up the pen and continued to try...

He can feel Aguang's joy after he finally remembered a knowledge point, he can feel Aguang's strong unwillingness when he is ridiculed by others, and he can feel Aguang's deep frustration after being unable to solve a problem for a long time , I can feel Ah Guang's uneasiness and hesitation about the future...

It is precisely because of this that he will try his best to integrate his past knowledge with the social sciences that Aguang has learned, just to let Aguang understand better.

Because he wanted to do something for Ah Guang.

Zuo Wei feels that he seems to have been unilaterally taken care of by A Guang.

From the first time he met Ah Guang, he had been faintly aware of it.

That day, Zuowei lived on the chessboard as usual.

Just as he was recalling the chess pieces arranged on dozens or hundreds of chessboards, recalling the details of getting along with Tiger Ciro, and lamenting the impermanence of the world, he inadvertently heard the voice of a child.

This can't help but remind him of the scene when he first met Tiger Ciro.

At that time, Torano saw the tears of remorse shed on the chessboard, and no one could see the traces except himself.Just when Torano was puzzled by this, Sato appeared and made a request to stay in his heart.

Zuowei just wanted to give it a try, but to his surprise, the little Torajiro agreed to his request and lent him his body.So, after hundreds of years, I was able to play chess as I wished.

It's a pity...Torajiro passed away at the age of 34 due to an unfortunate illness...

Zuo Wei thought that he might have to wait another hundred or thousand years before he had the chance to return to the present world again.Therefore, he is no longer as sentimental as before.He relieved the anguish of not being able to play chess by recalling the chess game, and patiently waited for another miracle to come.

Unexpectedly, this day came so soon.

"Ah! There are really spots like blood here!"

It was a boy's voice, and it sounded very surprised.

Although Zuowei was a little confused about the words "even" and "really" in the conversation.However, what is more important now is that this child was able to see the bloodstains that accidentally dripped on the chessboard when Tora Ciro was seriously ill!

It sounds like there is another girl.From their conversation, Zuowei learned that only the boy could see this trace.Just like at that time, only Tiger Ciro could see his tears.

The opportunity that he had been looking forward to for a long time now came so suddenly, Zuo Wei's heart was not only grateful, but also unbelievable.

His heart could not help but be filled with fear.He worried that this was just his hallucination.So he asked cautiously, "Can you see it?"

He hadn't had much hope.Unexpectedly, the child actually replied: "I've said it since just now..."

Although it seemed that the child mistook himself for the girl who came with him, he really responded to himself!Could it be... Can he really hear his own voice?

Zuo Wei couldn't help asking again: "Can you hear my voice?"

Then, the child's reaction told his answer—he could hear his own voice.

Then, he stayed by A Guang's side.

Although it is a pity that Ah Guang has no interest in Go at all, and he doesn't even understand the most basic content of Go.

However, he still tried his best to satisfy his desire to play chess.

Zuo Wei still remembers what Ah Guang said with a smile after quietly listening to his narration.

He said: Zuo Wei... To be honest, I have no interest in Go, and I also have my own life plan.But...but I will play chess once in a while.After all, you like playing chess so much...

In the following days, Ah Guang, as he himself said, would let himself play chess whenever he had time.

Even when he is very tired, he will find someone to play against himself.

In addition, as long as he shows interest, even if he shows impatience, he will eventually agree to himself.

In order to arrange chess pieces for himself more smoothly, he also went to the Go classroom on purpose to learn the basics of Go seriously.Obviously he is so uninterested in Go...

After learning that he did not exist in history, in order to relax himself, he arranged opportunities to play chess more frequently for himself.Although the way of consolation was a bit clumsy, this simple way soothed the pain in my heart more effectively.

Because, this is the most sincere pity and concern from children!

However, now that I think about it carefully, I always feel that Ah Guang seems to be too indulgent to himself.

After getting along for a period of time, he knew that Ah Guang was a confident and cheerful boy, and like other children, he was innocent and stubborn.However, this is in front of other people.

When facing himself, he is like an elder, always satisfying himself as much as possible.

It is unbelievable that I also accept this kind of care unknowingly, and sometimes even achieve my purpose by acting like a baby or crying.It's obvious that I'm an adult right...

In addition to his extraordinary tolerance for himself, some of Ah Guang's performances also made Zuo Wei very concerned.

Torajiro said this when he saw his own tear stains on the chessboard: "No one can see the stains on this chessboard except me. This trace looks like someone's tear stains, why only I can see it Woolen cloth?"

But when Aguang saw the bloodstain left on the chessboard by Torajiro, he said this: "Ah! There are really spots like bloodstains here!"

When I first heard this sentence, although I was a little confused, but because I had more important things to confirm, I didn't think about it.Looking back on this sentence now, I always feel a little weird.

I always feel that this sentence seems to imply that Aguang has seen this scene somewhere before.

Although I think this is unlikely, after all, I have been boarding on the chessboard. If Ah Guang has been here, I will definitely have an impression.However, this sentence really came from Ah Guang's mouth.

In addition, when I exclaimed when I saw a vending machine or an airplane, when I was interested in novelty and asked questions, when I was crying and pestering Ah Guang to let him agree to my request, Even when he appeared in front of Ah Guang for the first time, besides being surprised or helpless, Ah Guang's reaction also faintly revealed the meaning of "ah, that's really the case".

Obviously, it is the first time for me to get along with Ah Guang, why does Ah Guang always involuntarily show that he is very familiar with him?

I always feel that Ah Guang seems to be hiding something from himself.

However, he believed that Ah Guang would tell him one day.

Therefore, he will wait patiently, waiting for the day when Ah Guang is willing to confide.

Although I don't know why Ah Guang pampered himself in this way, I have indeed been taken care of by Ah Guang unilaterally.And it's still the purest care without any conspiracy.

That's why he wanted to do something for Ah Guang.

So, when he saw Ah Guang trying his best to review and prepare for the exam, he stopped crying and pestering Ah Guang to let him satisfy his desire to play chess, but tried his best to make Ah Guang more relaxed. Remember those test points carefully.Although, even if he didn't make a request, Ah Guang still flipped through the chess collection for himself during the review process...

Fortunately, my own efforts are still somewhat effective.

Zuo Wei looked down at Ah Guang's test paper, and saw that most of the questions on it had been filled in with answers.

Seeing Aguang's focused expression, Zuo Wei said silently in his heart: Aguang, come on.

The author has something to say:

Zoe hasn't shown up for a long time.So, this chapter is Zuowei's home game ╰(*?︶`*)╯
