Kurata is very difficult to deal with, and Siming has experienced it in last year's Jihad.After more than half an hour, the two had just entered the middle game, and they already felt like they were in a melee.

Although he is still not very familiar with Siming's tactics, Kurata is very sticky and handles the details very unexpectedly. Siming has to spend more time than usual thinking about which position is more suitable for the next step.

At the end of the round, Siming won by half.

Smiling at Kurata apologetically, he motioned to Kanako who was guarding the door to help him leave the game room.

"I seem to have overestimated my recovery ability." Siming sat down in the lounge with a wry smile, and the nurse at the side came to massage his left leg.

"Brother, do you want something to eat?" Kanako brought over the lunch bag she was carrying, and turned her head to look at Siming.

Siming nodded, "Use a little first, there may be two games in the afternoon." Due to the damage to the stomach, the already weak stomach can't stand the slightest stimulation now.The last three meals were all prepared by Kanako after consultation with an old Chinese doctor in Beijing.Although most of them are soup, porridge, etc., but after Kanako, a foodie, the taste is not bad, at least so far, Siming hasn't felt too tired.

"Fortunately, it's not sitting on your knees." The masseuse Renzu found for Siming was a young girl in her 20s. Although she was told by the medical staff that she couldn't see the patient messing around, it was better than those older mothers. too much.When Siming was playing chess, he chatted softly with Kanako from the sidelines. The friendship between foodies is always so easy to develop.

After resting for a while, Siming felt that his limbs seemed to have regained their vitality.Then he picked up the soup in front of him and drank it in small sips.

"It's delicious today." Siming praised the venue and drank half a bowl of soup from Kanako, and ordered some digestible snacks.

"Ms. Chiba, can we start the second game?" The staff member probed, it seemed that Kurata had also come back from hunting outside.

"Oh, you can only eat these things now." He looked at Siming with regret, "What a boring life without delicious food!"

"As long as you have Go." Siming greeted him with a smile, walked slowly into the opposite room and sat down.

"Oh, I seem to have found a way to deal with your layout. Are you nervous?" Kurata pretended to be inscrutable.

"No one's layout is impeccable." Siming lowered his head and ignored Cangtian's provocation. Some things are not as simple as talking about them.

Even though Kurata felt that he had reached the door to cracking the opponent's layout, Siming still guarded the title battle well.

At the end of the game, because Kanako found that Siming seemed to have a low-grade fever again, and he didn't even interview the reporter, Siming was packed and sent to the hospital again.

"Brother, you don't want to participate in the celebrities in September, right?" Kanako looked at Siming's bruised back with some distress, "Look, the IV drip is bruised, so you should take good care of your body before going down." .”

"It doesn't matter. I don't need to participate in the qualifiers for the Masters Tournament. I can cultivate well in these two months." Siming waved his hand, not willing to give up too many games, "At most, just give up one match between Throne and Tianyuan. Sai, I don’t want to give up casually.”

In order to recover from his injuries, Siming almost cut off all activities going to the Chess Academy.Fortunately, the Chess Academy also understands it very well.After all, he just came back from the death line.

Although Riji is also very nervous about the competition, as long as he has time, he will always find a way to have a video chat with Siming to see how Siming is recovering.

"Xiao Ruo, you should go to bed early." Because of the time difference, Siming couldn't say a few words every time, so he urged Riji to go to rest.After all, he is no better than himself. It is hard enough to compete or train every day.

"It's okay, there is no game tomorrow." Hiji waved his hand indifferently, "Kanako told me that she asked the old Chinese doctor a lot of medicinal food, you should remember to eat it. Usually when you play chess, pay attention to time, don't just sit down It's been a long time, and I often come out to move around. Keep your left leg warm..."

Listening to Riji's rambling, Siming could only feel a trace of warmth slowly enveloping his heart. Even family members in his previous life seldom nag him like this after his long illness.

"Xiao Ruo, you're about to become an old woman." Siming teased Riji with a smile.

"When you recover, I won't nag." Riji gave Siming a white look, and then smiled. He didn't expect that he would have such a nagging day. "Take good care of yourself."

"Ah."

At the end of October, the Celebrity Tournament had just started, and the Chess Academy found Siming again.

"Are you going to Korea?" Before Siming could say anything, Makoto Kuwahara had already refused, "No, no, I'm not fully recovered, so I can't go abroad. Let's find someone else for this competition."

"Mr. Kuwahara, it's not that we forced Chiba-san to participate in the competition, but the Korean side specifically asked Chiba-san to participate, saying that they want to appreciate Chiba-san's ancient chess style." Yabuki said helplessly with a smile on his face.To be honest, he didn't want to bother a wounded person, and it wasn't that there were no chess players in Japan.But what can be done if they call Chiba to play.After all, Chiba-san had already participated in the Grand Prix and Masters before, so it's not good to say that he couldn't get up.

"This..." Kuwahara Shin turned to look at his brother.

Kuwahara Ren stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Why don't you propose to South Korea, we can also play in the game, and change the venue to Japan, which is originally an exchange match between Japan, China and South Korea. There is no need to arrange it in South Korea. Always consider the physical condition of the players."

"We will discuss this with South Korea again, as long as Chiba-san agrees to play."

After Yabuki left, Kanako came in with the stewed porridge, "Brother, you are famous abroad!" Putting the bowl in front of Siming, "Grandpa Kuwahara, let's have chicken soup today. I specially asked the nanny to come Chickens bought in supermarkets. But I heard from Grandpa Han that the grass chickens raised in rural China are the most nutritious."

"Oh, speaking of chicken soup, I think of the kind I ate at Liang Sang's house before. It seems to be called chicken or mushrooms. It's really delicious. Chinese people are really good at food." Sang Yuanren said with a smile Nodding, "Kanako is here, we two old men are lucky!"

"As long as everyone likes to eat." Kanako smiled with crooked eyebrows. As a chef, to be precise, he should be a foodie chef. The food he cooks is delicious and popular. That is really a wonderful thing.

"Is this made with the black rice that Aunt Liang brought from China?" Siming took a spoon beside him and filled it with a spoonful of porridge. Kanako's porridge was very sticky, and he even added a little honey. Slightly sweet, but not greasy.

Before Liang Cong'an heard that Siming was injured in a car accident, he immediately rushed over to visit him. He also brought a lot of nourishing ingredients for the stomach and told Kanako to make Siming eat according to the medicinal recipe given by the old Chinese medicine doctor.

"Yeah. This kind of rice is very good. It's very sticky when boiled. Grandpa Han said that these ingredients are for replenishing qi and blood. They are very suitable for people like my brother who have undergone surgery and have been injured."

"Then, can grandpa use it too?" Siming ate while listening to Kanako's popular science.After Siming was injured, Kuwahara Shin also worried for a long time. At that time, he relied on a breath of energy to support him. After Siming recovered slowly, the old man fell ill several times.

"Of course, Grandpa Kuwahara, remember to eat two more bowls later. I put some honey, it's delicious."

Halfway through the round-robin round, Siming was able to let go of his crutches and barely walked.Ranked third with six wins and two losses.

【A Si, we are one step closer to being a celebrity! ] The Chiba boy was very excited, 【Let's fight for the right to challenge Honinbo next year. 】

"Yeah." Siming nodded with a smile.In the future, I will be able to participate in more and more competitions, "Kuichi, in the future we will not only fight for titles in Japan, Chunlan Cup, Ying's Cup, Samsung Cup... There are so many international competitions in the future. Wait for us, Koichi, let's fight hard together!"

After the Celebrity Tournament, the Three Kingdoms Exchange Tournament will officially begin. After all, there will be the Throne Tournament and Tianyuan Tournament in December, so there is not much time to waste.

This exchange match is considered informal, and there is no team competition, but the players choose the players they want to play against.

It happened to be Gao Yongxia who sat down in front of Siming.

Two days before the start of the match, Gao Yongxia and Hong Xiuying visited Siming at Kuang Yuan's house.At that time, Siming knew that it was Gao Yongxia who called him to participate in the exchange competition.Even though he has been in the professional world for so many years, Gao Yongxia still feels a bit superior as before, but when facing Siming, he is rarely polite.

"Don't say I'm bullying you, you can play fast chess." Gao Yongxia adjusted the timer, "It's over early, so you can rest early, how about it?"

"Yes." Siming nodded.In fact, there are more Japanese people who have the habit of taking long exams. There are not many Chinese chess players who take long exams. Even for ancient chess players, there are not many real long exams.

Gao Yongxia's chess moves were still fierce and swift, but Siming avoided his edge.This time he adopted the method of being as good as water, accepting and integrating Gao Yongxia's offensive with the changeable and soft posture of water, slowly developing his own power in those places that are not noticed by others, you advance and retreat, you retreat and advance, It unfolds in a changeable but natural chess shape that adapts to the situation, slowly enveloping Gao Yongxia's dragons and smashing them into pieces one by one.

"I lost." Gao Yongxia admitted defeat unwillingly, "Another game?"

Siming waved his hand slightly, and said apologetically, "Let me use something first, I don't use much in the morning." After being injured, because he couldn't eat too much at once, the old Chinese doctor Han also advised Siming to eat less and more frequently, so Siming now eats four to five meals a day, and he really can't afford to be hungry or full.

Although the fast chess match with Gao Yongxia just now took almost two hours.The game started at 08:30 in the morning, so I was really hungry.

Gao Yongxia looked at his watch and nodded in agreement.

In this exchange match, Siming was almost dominated by Gao Yongxia alone. The two won and lost, but the number of times Siming won was plundered.

"Your ancient chess style is indeed very innovative. I will study it carefully when I go back. Next time, it will not be so easy for you to beat me again."

"Well, I'll wait and see."
