《HIKARU NO GO》E34
Time gives up Go
On the day when the Beidou Cup qualifiers officially started, the sun shined through the library windows and onto the quiet and solemn bookshelves.However, in this day that should have been full of tension and anticipation, Xiaoguang was absent from the game.
Xiaoliang sat in the chess room, concentrating on playing chess with his opponent, but his heart always drifted to the distance unconsciously, worrying about Xiaoguang's situation.He is well aware of Xiaoguang's strength and his love for Go, but Xiaoguang has not appeared for a long time.Disappointment and anxiety intertwined in Xiaoliang's heart. He could no longer bear the suffering and decided to find Xiaoguang himself.
He walked through the bustling campus and came to the library of No. 13 Middle School.Pushing open the door of the library, he saw the familiar figure - Xiaoguang sleeping on the table, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.A complex emotion surged in Xiaoliang's heart. He walked up to Xiaoguang and punched the table lightly.
Xiaoguang was awakened and looked up to see Yu Liang standing opposite.He was a little confused and didn't know what was happening.Xiao Liang looked at him, a trace of disappointment and anger flashing in his eyes.He asked Xiaoguang why he didn't come to participate in the competition and why he gave up the Go game he once loved.
Xiaoguang was silent for a while, and then replied calmly: “I'm not interested anymore.”Hearing this answer, Xiao Liang could no longer control his emotions. He loudly rebuked Xiao Guang in the quiet library, and his voice echoed in the empty space.He told Xiaoguang that he signed up for Xiaoguang for the Beidou Cup qualifiers because he knew Xiaoguang's strength and believed he could achieve good results.
He admitted that he had never regarded Xiaoguang as a detonator, and if Xiaoguang had such misunderstanding, he could apologize.However, this game is too important for them. Xiaoguang has already lost one game. If he loses another game, he will definitely not be able to qualify.He looks forward to this worthy opponent returning to the chess world and having another fierce duel with him.
Listening to Xiaoliang's scolding and expectations, Xiaoguang felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.He knew that he once loved Go, and he also knew that he had considerable strength.However, since Chu Ying left, he has lost interest in Go and seems to have lost the motivation to move forward.
However, under the turns of inspiration from Xiao Liang, Shen Yilang and others, he began to re-examine his attitude towards Go.He recalled the days when he and Chu Ying played chess together, times full of joy and challenges.He thought of his past dreams and pursuits, and a new passion surged in his heart.
Finally, with everyone's expectations and encouragement, Xiaoguang made a decision.He stood up, took a deep breath, and said firmly:“ I will continue to play chess.”This sentence echoed in the library, as if it was a farewell to the past and an expectation for the future.
