Cherish the time

"But that's what I said..." Shinto Hikari scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "How to find that Takeu is still a problem. 』

After being reminded by him, Zuo Wei realized that Xiaoguang actually knew nothing about those famous and famous families in the distant past.

So Zuo Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will always be a solution... Don't keep thinking about such inconclusive things." 』

Shinto gave him a strange look, "There is no conclusion yet? 』

"The fact that he won't live to be 20 years old... is just his one-sided statement." Saoi bent down and gently "touched" his forehead against Shinto's, "You will live a long time—long enough to see the world change; you will live a long time— Long enough to continue the future of the Go world. 』

Shinto stared at the purple eyes that were close at hand for a while, then gently closed his eyes.

"Ah."

The inaudible response came out of the nasal cavity, with a heart-warming power.

Zuo also gently closed his eyes.

One person and one soul just stood quietly on the sidewalk with their eyes closed and their foreheads pressed against each other.

Suddenly, a girl exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It's snowing!"

Pieces of crystal snowflakes swirled and fell, sticking to the heads, faces, and shoulders of pedestrians, bringing the romantic beauty unique to winter.

Shinto opened his eyes, watching the flying snowflakes pass through Sakai's body, the snow white and silver glow blended together, making the other person's natural beauty even more sacred and awe-inspiring.

Shinto Hikari made a decision silently in his heart.

Because there is no way to control Zhusheng's whereabouts, this matter has been suppressed for the time being.

After the arrival of November, Shinto and Sawei ushered in a new opportunity.

The reason is that a company president who likes Go read the report about Hikari Shinto, and at that time he happened to be having trouble planning for the company's [-]th anniversary. The idea of ​​a Go arena.

The preliminary setting is that all the following professional chess players can participate, and the final bonus is 500 million yen.

They also specially sent an invitation letter to Shinto, hoping that he would be the first ring guard.

After receiving the invitation letter, Shindo deliberately set aside time to talk to their person in charge, hoping to expand this competition into a China-Japan-Korea youth team competition—that is, to copy the Beidou Cup model.

After the other party listened to his thoughts, he politely replied that he would consider his opinion.

Hearing such an official answer, Shinto knew that there was probably nothing to do.

Half a month later, Jinto received a reply from the other party and a new invitation letter, formally inviting him to become the first ring keeper.

As for the reply, of course it cannot be accepted after many considerations.

Shinto Hikaru was relieved at the same time of regret - after all, if this matter happens, it will always give him a feeling of stealing other people's business plans.

So Shindo Hikari became the defender of the first domestic youth professional chess player competition, and it is expected that he will usher in his first competition in August next year.

Another half month later, the arrangement for the second round of the Shinto Hikari Celebrity Tournament was settled, and the opponent was Ogata Seiji Eighth Dan.

Shindo smiled when he saw the arrangement.

He felt that Ogata Seiji was the most wronged in his rebirth.

Obviously he didn't want to confront this person, but he always made the other party lose his wife and lose his army for no reason.

If it wasn't for Ogata's qualification to retain the round-robin competition of the last celebrity match, he would have to suffer a big loss from him again in the qualifiers.

game day.

Shinto Hikari arrived at the entrance of the Kiin ahead of time as usual, just in time to run into Ogata who got off the car.

"Good morning, Mr. Ogata." He greeted the man in a good mood—after getting along for so long, he had already included Ogata in the range of friends.

"Good morning." Ogata smiled slightly, locked the car door, and walked to his side, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten." Shinto rolled the collar around his neck, "...it's really cold today."

"Put on more clothes, and be careful of catching a cold." Ogata reminded lightly, "—I remember last time in the Ruoshi battle, you coughed to death."

"Is there?" Shinto smiled, "I don't remember anything."

They walked into the Qiyuan building side by side, and saw Ta Yaliang standing at the door holding a small bag, rubbing his hands in front of his body, and taking a breath of hot air from time to time.

"Xiao Liang!" Jin Teng shouted.

Taya stopped when he heard the sound, and after confirming his position, he walked over with the bag, "Here for you."

"Huh?" Shinto was stunned for a moment.

"Hot cocoa—the place to buy beverages has its third anniversary today, and there is a buy-one-get-one-free event." Taya stuffed the cup into his hand, explained briefly, and then bowed his head to greet Ogata, " Good morning, Ogata-san."

"Good morning, Xiaoliang." Ogata smiled and nodded.

Shinto opened the bag, took the hot cocoa out of the bag, held it in his hands, and said with a smile, "I am very grateful."

"Come on, I'm leaving first." Taya nodded to him, and then planned to leave.

"Xiao Liang." Ogata stopped him suddenly, "Who do you think will win today?"

"Mr. Ogata..." Taya paused, "I think you, like me, know the answer well." After speaking, he left without hesitation.

Shinto Hikari sipped hot cocoa, he was so focused on "Oh!" and "It's so hot!", he didn't pay attention to what they said.

When Ogata turned around and saw this ignorant him, he felt really angry and funny.

He never thought that he would seriously like someone, he never thought that he would be gay, and he never thought that he would actually have pedophilic tendencies...

But all these self-cognitions of him were broken by Hikari Shinto.

This is the first time in his life that he has such a deep attachment to something other than Go, and it is also the first time that he wants to spend his life with someone seriously.

——Although he knows that he will definitely be regarded as a pervert if he has such thoughts...

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry.

He has enough patience to wait for Hikari Shinto to grow up.

And enter into his heart in the process.

But what makes him feel a little tricky is——

Ever since he discovered his feelings for Shinto, he has felt with a man's unique sixth sense that Xiao Liang actually has thoughts similar to his.

It's just that due to the relationship between age and experience, Xiao Liang didn't realize his own intentions.

Ogata would not do some childish demonstrations to provoke the other party, such behavior would only stimulate the male instinct in Xiaoliang's heart and speed up the process of him understanding his mind.

What he has to do is to calmly draw Xiaoliang's affection for Shinto into the scope of friendship.

Nip the threat from Xiaoliang... in the bud.
