Cherish the time

Shinto Mitsuko couldn't help being attracted by that photo.

"Zhijiu...Yu Wuxuan...?" She struggled to read it in hiragana, and couldn't help laughing, "It's... a strange name!"

"But...he looks really delicate...is he a new artist..." She looked at the photo seriously for a while, and then carefully browsed other information about the artist Zhijiu.

At this time, Shindo Hikaru was calling the missing persons column published in the newspaper.

After he explained his purpose, the man asked him to report the missing person.

"Zhusheng Wujian...Zhusheng is a surname, eh? It's probably the bamboo of bamboo, the one that survives, Wujian...I don't know how to write Chinese characters..."

"Aged about eighteen or nineteen, with a very delicate appearance...or it can be said to be beautiful."

"Uh... no, I'm not his relative... I just want to ask him for something..."

"What? I'm not trying to investigate him! I'm just having some trouble—Hello? Hello?"

Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Shindo pressed the receiver abruptly, and grabbed his hair in a tangle.

He slowly crouched against the wall, a bitter moan rolling in his throat.

"How to do…"

"Huh? Xiaoguang, what are you squatting here for?" Mitsuko approached him in surprise and asked when she saw a large group of creatures squatting in the corner as soon as she stepped downstairs.

"Hmm...I'm fine..." Seeing his mother approaching, Shinto subconsciously stood up, "Uh...what's wrong?"

"Your computer is not turned off," Shinto Mitsuko smiled wryly, "—mother just wanted to turn it off for you...but I can't remember the way you taught me to turn it off..."

"It doesn't matter, just leave it on." Shinto straightened his hair casually, and walked towards the entrance, "I have something to do now, so I need to go out first."

"Are you coming back for dinner that night?" Mitsuko asked casually, "There will be grilled saury tonight."

"I don't know." Shinto quickly put on his shoes and ran out of the house.

Perhaps it was because of one experience, even though Shinto was anxious, he was not blindly panicked.

Of course, I won't go to the chess academy to find the place where ghosts will appear.

He ran to the nearest bookstore to buy a few books, all of which were related to Onmyoji and Abe Seimei.

This made the female college student standing at the cashier look at him suspiciously many times.

He carried a bag of books and went to the small park where he met Lina Zhusheng before. As expected, he didn't see the eccentric little girl, but he saw San Gu helping Mingming walk by.

Shinto Hikaru:?

He didn't react for a while, but he clearly saw him first, and raised his other hand to greet Jin Teng.

Shinto hesitated for a moment, but still went up to meet him, "What's wrong?"

Sangu pouted and motioned him to look down, "She doesn't have eyes when she walks, and she stepped into a ditch. I just happened to pass by, and she stopped me."

Fujisaki blushed immediately, "No...! I just twisted my foot!"

Sangu shrugged, "When I saw you, your foot hadn't been pulled out of the ditch yet."

The two of them were bickering happily, but at this moment, Shinto didn't have the leisurely mood to continue listening, "—stop!...Is it serious?" He squatted down and touched Fujisaki's swollen ankle, and came to his own conclusion, "... It looks pretty serious."

"I'll take her back." Shinto stood up and signaled Mitani to hand over Fujisaki to himself, "It's getting late now, it's better for you to go back earlier."

"Oh, be careful on the road." Mitani handed Fujisaki's arm to Shinto's very freely, then turned and left.

Shindo watched his actions as if he was getting rid of the plague god, and all the curiosity that he had ignored all of a sudden emerged.

"What did you do to him?" He tilted his head and asked Fujisaki.

"On the way back, I was seen by his classmates," Fujisaki blushed, "then they seemed to have misunderstood my relationship with Mitani-kun, and made a lot of jokes with Mitani-kun..."

Shinto thought for a while, "... Is there a fat girl in that group of people?"

"Huh?" Fujisaki tried to recall, "It seems... there are some. Short hair, right?"

"That seems to be the girl Mitani likes...but Mitani probably won't admit it." Shinto said with a smile.

"Ah... I finally laughed! That's great." Fujisaki patted himself on the chest exaggeratedly, "It's finally a sigh of relief."

"Ok?"

"When I first saw you, my whole face was tense," Fujisaki stroked his face with his hand, "It looks like you're angry, but also like you're about to cry... In short, it looks scary .”

Shinto was a little surprised, "It seems...so obvious?"

"It's not very obvious, Mitani doesn't seem to have noticed..." Fujisaki tilted his head, "But if it's Taya-kun, he must be able to feel it faster than me."

Sending Fujisaki with a twisted foot back home, rejecting the kindness of Fujisaki's parents to keep food, Shinto Hikari returned home with a pile of books.

The bitter and mellow fragrance of saury is floating in the whole house.

Shinto got into his room with the smell of saury all over his body, first threw the book in his hand on the ground, and then threw himself on the bed.

"Little—hikari—" Shinto Mitsuko called from the kitchen, "Ryo-kun called just now—remember to call him back!"

Shinto Hikaru closed his eyes and didn't answer.

"Did you hear—little—light—"

"I know! I know! La!" Shinto replied in a loud voice, getting up from the bed a little anxiously.

He sat blankly on the edge of the bed for a while, browsing the room with his eyes unfocused.

A bookcase full of chess records...

A half-open closet with a chess board...

The pile of expired weekly Go magazines on the ground...

The goldfish swimming quietly in the small fish tank on the desk...

A personal computer that records the battles between the account "Sakou" and shogi players from all over the world...

This room is full of traces of his life with Zuo Wei.

——It's just that Zuowei...is not here anymore.

He was a little uncomfortable with his own thoughts, and immediately threw the thought out of his mind, got up and planned to call Taya back.

When passing by the desk, Shindo remembered that he hadn't turned off the computer, so he put one hand on the desk and held the mouse with the other.

He moved the thick mouse, and after a second or two, the dormant display lit up.

What is displayed on the screen is the last page viewed by this computer.

——It was the personal introduction of Chihisa Mitsuko who accidentally clicked on it.
