Cherish the time

The day after meeting Zhusheng.

Shinto went out early in the morning to find a jewelry store, handed over the chess piece to them, and asked them to make it into a sturdy and portable style.

When I came back at night, I got the finished product.

The chess piece was inlaid on a black thin iron ring, and a brown leather rope was wrapped around it. It was simple and rough, and it fit very well on Shinto's hand.

However, Zuowei expressed some discomfort with this, "Xiaoguang, you are not a girl...it's not good to wear a bracelet on your hand." 』

"I think it's better than a necklace or a ring... what do you think?" 』

Zuo Wei agreed and stopped talking.

In order to confirm the firmness of the chess piece, Shinto also tried to flip it with his hands, until he was sure that the chess piece could still remain motionless when he flipped it, he still asked a question with some anxiety.

"It shouldn't fall down, right?"

"As long as you don't deliberately use metal to pry it, it won't fall off." The salesperson girl assured her.

Shinto paid the money with satisfaction, and left with the bracelet on.

Clearly he had just heard the death notice, but Shinto's life has not changed much, he still plays chess when he should play chess, and rests when he should rest, without any abnormal behavior.

Since he was reborn, he had the realization that he would not live long, so he made a rough plan for what he was going to do early on—even though the plan was originally supposed to be 22 years old...

But as long as he can live to be 19 years old, at least he can complete the most important arrangement in his life.

Although there are still regrets, Shindo Hikaru said that he is very satisfied.

The days of spring go away, and the heat gradually rises.

Wada finally officially established a relationship with Fujisaki.

However, due to the fact that the overlapping part of the two people's life circles is really limited, He Gu came up with the idea of ​​saving money to buy a mobile phone to facilitate contact.

But before he saves enough money to buy two mobile phones... he still can only run to the gate of Haze to wait for Mingming to finish class after the chess game is over, and walk home holding hands after participating in club activities together.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Nippon Kiin, the China-Japan-Korea Youth Exchange Tournament has been advanced to June, and the venue is still in Seoul, South Korea.

Now Hikari Shindo had no reason to refuse, so he had to set aside time to prepare for the competition.

Due to time constraints, the originally scheduled trials had to be cancelled. Among a group of younger chess players, Kazuya was selected as the No.3 participant, and Ogata was appointed as the team leader.

So, on a sunny morning in June, the four of them and a ghost boarded a plane to South Korea together.

Because of the development and popularity of the Shinkansen, there are relatively few opportunities to use airplanes when traveling in Japan.

As soon as he got on the plane, Hegu looked left and right in a very novel way, and he couldn't wait for it to fly.

Taya's reaction was relatively calm, but the unconcealable curiosity in his eyes betrayed his heart.

Ogata and Shinto found their seats very calmly and sat down.

Among them, Shindo even yawned because he didn't sleep well the night before, and his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.

Seeing his tired look, Ogata asked the flight attendant to bring a blanket and covered him on his lap, "Go to sleep for a while, I will call you when we are almost here."

Shinto was a little dazed, and asked subconsciously, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Ogata took out a magazine from the book bag in front of him, "I don't sleep."

Shinto turned his head to look at Taya who was sitting on the other side, "Xiao Liang?"

Seeing that he couldn't open his eyes, Ta Yaliang touched his forehead very vigilantly, to make sure that he didn't have a fever, then nodded and said softly, "Just sleep."

"Oh." Shinto then closed his eyes with peace of mind.

As for Zoe...

From the moment he got on the plane, he squatted on the floor and dared not even move, let alone make a sound.

But after the plane took off, he was so attracted by the white clouds and red sun outside the window that he forgot his fear and wished he could put his face on the glass.

It took more than two hours to fly from Tokyo to Seoul, and Shinto woke up suddenly when he was half asleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a magnified side face of Ogata, that face seemed very close, as if he was about to meet in the next second.

This made him shrink back subconsciously, but he still felt that Ogata's chin brushed against the tip of his nose, leaving a wisp of warm breath on it.

He glanced blankly at Ogata, and found that he was leaning over to take the drink handed by the flight attendant, so he said very naturally, "...please give me a cup of coffee."

The moment he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the three of them.

He Gu took the lead and said, "Have you slept well? If you haven't slept enough, you can sleep for another half an hour."

"Aha...no need." Shinto said while yawning, "I can't sleep anymore...thank you." Then he took the coffee in Ogata's hand.

"We were just discussing the players in this competition," He Gu said with some emotion, "I feel that there are many more professional chess players below China than in our country."

"...China accepts more people in one year than Japan in three years, and it only accepts chess players below..." Shindo also expressed his speechlessness, "Although some people have long proposed to change the professional chess exam There are two times a year, and it is necessary to separate the entrance examination for female chess players from it, but for some reason, the Chess Academy has never done this."

"Huh? Is that so?" He Gu was taken aback, "I thought the whole world was the same as Japan."

"...It's great that you were born in Japan." Shinto said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Seoul Incheon Airport.

As soon as I walked out of the pick-up gate, I saw a tall and beautiful woman holding a blank paper with the words "Welcome Mr. Ogata, Nihon Kiin and others".

Ogata walked over with the three children.

Seeing Ogata walking towards this side, a gleam of joy flashed across the beauty's face, she waved the white paper in her hand twice, and asked in a very sweet voice, "Excuse me... is Ogata from Nihon Ki-in" Is there a party, sir?"

He Gu bumped into Jin Teng's arm with his elbow, and gave him a wink that everyone understood.

"Yes." Ogata nodded, "May I ask if you are Miss Han Qianhui from the Korean Chess Academy?"

"Yes!" Han Qianhui immediately folded the white paper and put it away, and extended her hand to Ogata generously.

Ogata gave a polite shake and then immediately let go, "These three are the contestants in this competition..." The three of Shinto immediately bowed to say hello, and Han Qianhui also bowed back, "We are going to the hotel first Or go to the venue first?"

"It's lunch time now," Ms. Han looked at her watch, "Qiyuan has already made an appointment for lunch at the hotel for you, so let's go to the hotel first." As she said that, she wanted to reach out to help Xu Fang carry his suitcase.

"Don't bother." Ogata turned down her offer in a very puzzled manner, "You are a lady, I can mention it myself."

"Okay then..." Han Qianhui pouted a little unwillingly, "...the car is here, please follow me this way." After speaking, she took a step forward to lead the way.
