In late September, Siming started his university life.

Compared with middle school with tight curriculum, university life seems to be much easier.At least there is no teacher chasing you to do exercises and test papers all day long. You have a lot of free time to look up information in the library and make self-study arrangements.

Of course, what makes Siming more happy is the library with rich content.Although Ice Emperor's library is considered quite large in those middle schools in Japan, there is always a feeling of awkwardness when looking at the Chinese classics that have been translated into Japanese.Any language, after being translated in other languages, will always be more or less distorted.

In order to stay in China to study, even though Chu Le won some privileges for him, Siming still had to give up some professional games to ensure his attendance.

At this moment, Si Ming, who was sitting in a corner of the library, holding the ancient version of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" with great enjoyment, felt that these sacrifices were worthwhile.You're still young anyway, aren't you?

However, when he rejected the activity invitation from the monitor again, he found that maybe, college life is not as colorful as he imagined.

There are also many club activities in the university, although some are not very mature compared with Japanese school clubs.But Siming didn't have the time to participate. He came here not only for the degree certificate, but mainly to learn how to understand those ancient chess records.

He doesn't participate in club activities, doesn't live on campus, and often doesn't even participate in class activities. Although the head teacher and many teachers know that Siming is a professional chess player, the students don't. Faintly felt a kind of exclusion.

"If you want to find him to attend the welcome party, you can't find anyone, and you don't participate in class activities. It's too arrogant. A little Japanese came to learn Chinese culture, and you still don't lower your attitude..."

"Pull what? A little Japan, cut."

"There are only a few women who only know how to look at their faces. I really don't know what's so good about that little boy. They invite them over and over again. Why are you so polite to the Japanese?"

"You haven't seen Little Japan's face. It's cold, as if how noble you are. That's because we Chinese don't care about him."

Holding a book in his hands, Siming stood outside the classroom, listening to the nonsense of some boys inside.Before the other party's topic gradually developed in a less harmonious direction, Siming turned his head and left n402. Anyway, it was just a linguistic theory class that he didn't like.

However, these not very pleasant words are not the most powerful.When Siming stepped into the classroom again and found a seat, he gradually realized that he was really isolated by his classmates.There will not be any students in the same class around the seat where I am sitting. Even if the other party has already selected a seat at that time, after seeing that I am seated, I will get up and look for another seat.

If I hadn't been there at the time, I might have missed some news about adjusting classes, changing classrooms, and even homework.Because no one will tell me.I am like the girl who was admitted to the Ice Emperor High School, who was excluded from this small group because of her uncooperativeness or being too selfish.

I wandered to the library and found a corner to sit down. The ancient books here are the closest. Relatively, there are relatively few students who will come here, so I can sit here and read without being disturbed by those chattering people.

For the first time, I knew that my popularity could be so bad.Siming put down the book in his hand in frustration.The situation in the classroom kept flashing before his eyes. Even though the behavior of those people seemed childish to him, after a long time, Siming still felt a little annoyed.Perhaps, I shouldn't have rejected the squad leader's invitation so directly.

【A Si, they are jealous.I'm jealous of your good grades, I'm jealous of you...] The Qianye boy said angrily beside Siming, compared to Siming, as a boy who ended his life at the age of 13, he couldn't bear those mocking and exclusion even more.

"Guangyi, it's jealousy. This accusation is a bit inexplicable. You know, at the beginning, he also extended a hand of friendship to us." Siming shook his head. To put it bluntly, he actually rejected other people's friendship. Retrieval is also normal.

However, those words that satirize themselves by belittling the Japanese are really too much.Angrily, he dropped the pen on the notebook.There is no shortage of angry youths.Siming admitted that as a Chinese, he also hated the Japanese government's denial of the war of aggression.But he never believed that this debt should be repaid by an ordinary Japanese citizen.Don't they think they are naive for shouting insults at a Japanese who will go to China to learn Chinese culture?

At this time, Siming especially misses those little nobles of Bingdi who seem arrogant but are actually cute, Xiao Ruo, how are you doing now?Are you still busy with exams?

"Oh, I really didn't expect that child... I thought he would handle it well..." Chu Le rubbed his hands in a daze. He is a department head and he has a lot of things to manage. , After learning about Siming's college life, I found that the child whom the teacher took special care of was isolated by other people in the class, and there were even many boys who used such vicious words to... let him, who had been in a high position for a long time, Some people lose face in front of the teacher.

"It's better not to interfere too much. Children nowadays are in a period of rebellion. The more things adults prohibit, the more they want to do them. Especially if they have legally grown up." Liang Hanzheng heard the students say these things He was taken aback for a while, then shook his head.He never thought that An Yan's child would be so poor in interpersonal communication.

He remembered that in the past, An Yan would be ridiculed and bullied by some children, but this child would always return them one by one, and then use his own charm to conquer these people.

It is indeed painful to be excluded, but as elders, they cannot take action, because it will cause him an even more embarrassing future.

Since you don't welcome me, there's no need for me to put my hot face on your cold ass.Siming, who had a young master's temper, skipped the linguistic theory class he didn't like very freely, and started studying chess records in the library.

The reason why Chinese ancient chess records are rarely used is not only because of the old rules such as the seat system and returning chess heads, but also because the records of these chess records are all in classical Chinese.It is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Probably because of the class time, the library was sparsely populated, only a quiet boy was sitting in the corner. The administrator looked at the kid who often spent time in the library, shook his head and finally sat down.

"Chiba Koichi?"

Hearing the voice, Siming raised his head, and saw a boy with broken hair and gold-rimmed glasses standing in front of him. He seemed familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that he seemed to be a senior in his senior year. The office met him.However, I can't remember the name.

"You probably don't remember me." Seeing Siming's bewildered face, the other party opened the seat beside him and sat down, "My name is Qiu Lu, and I am a senior this year. I have seen your Competition, to be honest, I was quite surprised to see you in the dean's office that day."

"You also watch Go?" Siming raised his eyebrows. It was really surprising that such a person suddenly appeared when the people around him didn't seem to know much about Go.

"Yes. My grandpa and uncle like it, but they are only amateurs." Qiu Lu nodded, "How did you come to China to study in university? I heard that many professional chess players no longer go to school. "

"I'm here to learn this." Siming pointed to the chess records spread out on the table.

Qiu Lu looked at it, then nodded with a sudden realization, "No wonder you will enter the Chinese Department, but in fact, there are many majors in our department, I don't think you really need them. If you just want to better understand chess records , I don’t think you need to finish these four years seriously, anyway, that certificate is dispensable to you.”

"Uh……"

"You seem a little tired these days?" Recently, the person who often consulted with Siming was replaced by Lu Li.He once participated in the first Beidou Cup. Although he lost to Ryo Taya due to his poor state, from the perspective of chess strength, the opponent was indeed a quite powerful opponent.

"It's okay." Siming sighed.What Qiulu said that day made me think for a long time.To be honest, there are many courses that occupy his research time and are of no help to him. Once, in order to complete his homework, he had to give up those ancient chess records and go to the library to look for materials that were completely useless in his opinion. .Is it really a wrong decision to choose to go to university like ordinary students?

"I heard from grandpa that you gave up several professional games in Japan, isn't it a pity?" Lu Li packed up the chess pieces on the chessboard while talking to Siming, "Actually, you can participate in some Sino-Japanese exchange games , although it can’t help you to be promoted directly, but I think these competitions can give you experience.”

"Can I sign up for the exchange competition?" Siming realized that he urgently needed something to divert his attention. If he continued to stay in this place, he couldn't guarantee what he would do.

"It should be possible." Lu Li was a little surprised by Siming's enthusiasm, but he still explained to him unhurriedly, "You know, there are actually quite a lot of exchange games between China and Japan. You guys will start in January." It will be a holiday, you can go back and ask when the time comes."

Lu Li's suggestion seemed to have reopened a door for Siming. He took advantage of the New Year's Day vacation to ask Ogata about the competition in China.

"In principle, you can't participate in too large competitions, such as Chunlan Cup, Ying's Cup, etc. The qualifications for these competitions must be obtained by those who have passed the domestic qualifiers, but for some small exchange games, the Chess Academy does not No prohibition.” After learning about the current situation of the students, Ogata quickly came up with a countermeasure, “Since the purpose of your study in China is to better translate ancient books, you can concentrate your energy on these courses. Listen, Chiba, you are already a professional Go player. In the professional world, we only care about your game results, not your academic certificates. Even if you have a graduate degree, if you can’t come up with a good score, then It can only prove your failure in the Go world. Go back and think about it carefully, there are many things that cannot be done at the same time.”

After listening to the teacher's suggestion, Siming thought over and over again, and finally approached Chu Le to confess his thoughts.He doesn't have so much time to take all the courses, so he can only choose the courses he needs to learn.The rest of the time, he needs to participate in various competitions and research.

After the second semester started, he picked a time when there was no class, and he knocked on the door of the department head's office.

"I want to discuss it with the school and other professors. You know, there has never been such a student in the school." Chu Le sat behind the desk and listened to his narration patiently without any change in expression.Siming's request is indeed rare, but it is not impossible to solve.Of course, this is not something he can decide on his own.

The results of the study were quite satisfactory.The school agreed to allow Siming to complete his studies through self-study and final exams. At the same time, he was allowed to sit in on some senior courses to help him better understand chess records.

Siming let out a breath slowly. This is probably the best news since he came to China.
