I read Chess Soul three times in one week because I was bored, and the same goes for the manga.
Deep down in my heart, I still can't understand that Zuo Wei disappeared like this.
Therefore, I want to give Xiaoguang and Zuowei a happy ending without any moral integrity.
I don't know if my ending is a happy ending.
However, as long as Zuowei lives not only in Xiaoguang's heart, but in everyone's heart,
Everything is OK!
Following the above, the story begins after the Beidou Cup. Xiaoguang starts his career again with a good attitude. Although he said that "if you want to see Zuo Wei, you have to play chess", but playing chess is just to see Zuo Wei's chess ability. Unknowingly, wanting to play chess with him turns into wanting to surpass him. Until someone who looks exactly like Zuo Wei appears, Xiaoguang's life changes again...
