Cherish the time

Hearing their conversation, Gao Yongxia tilted his head and asked Xiuying a few words in a low voice.

Then Xiuying nodded while pointing her finger at Hikari Shindo.

Seeing his actions like this, Ogata subconsciously took a few steps forward, half-hid him behind his back, turned around and asked Han Qianhui, "What are they talking about?"

"Gao Yongxia was asking Xiuying what I was talking about, and Xiuying told him that I was the one who defeated him before." Shinto Hikaru briefly relayed, "Now Gao Yongxia is confirming to Xiuying whether he is referring to me."

Ogata and others knew that he knew Korean at the test of courage, so they were not very surprised. Only Han Qianhui looked at him with a surprised face. He must have never thought that he could become a professional chess player at such a young age. Be proficient in Korean.

Without waiting for Gao Yongxia and Xiuying to confirm more things, Shinto interrupted the conversation between the two in a slightly rude way, "(Gao Yongxia), (come to the next game)."

"(Are you into Tengguang)?" Gao Yongxia slightly raised his chin and said, "(Let me see), (are you as powerful as Xiuying said)."

Shinto raised the corners of his lips, and gave a very rare arrogant smile.

"Zoe—"

"Let him experience for himself... Honinbo Shusaku's strength! 』

Zuo Wei also folded his fan suddenly, raised his head up, and said, "I can't ask for it." 』

So the venue of the group of people was transferred to the open game area of ​​the Chess Academy.

At this time, just after lunch, there were only a few graduate students who were walking and chatting in the chess area, moved chairs and sat chatting together.

Because of Gao Yongxia's appearance, the group immediately stood up from their chairs and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

Gao Yongxia nodded very indifferently, and took Shinto to find a seat to sit down.

"(Guess)?" He gently opened the chess box with his slender fingers, and smiled provocatively at Shinto—it was such a simple action, which also caused the female graduate student to cover her face with a blushing face. Shut up.

"(It's okay to let your third son)." Shinto also looked back with a smile, but the words he said were definitely not gentle.

Receiving this unexpected return, Gao Yongxia subconsciously frowned his handsome brows.

Hong Xiuying and Han Qianhui also glanced at Jin Teng in surprise, not wanting to understand why he seemed to be a different person, and his tone was suddenly so aggressive.

When Han Qianhui translated their conversation to Taya and the others, the three looked at Gao Yongxia in surprise first, and then at Shinto Hikaru in unison.

Gao Yongxia pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something interesting, he raised the corners of his lips confidently, "(Then... please let me be my third son)."

"(Please)." Hikari Shinto raised his hand in a gesture of invitation without panic.

Seeing his natural demeanor, calm expression, and not flustered by his reaction at all, Gao Yongxia's heart shuddered, knowing that he was not deliberately indifferent, but that he really still had the confidence to win after losing the third son.

So he immediately put away the little carelessness left in his heart, determined to treat this game of chess with the most serious attitude.

But what he didn't know was that Zuowei, who knew all of Shinto's previous experiences—of course including Gao Yongxia's speech about Xiu Ce before the Beidou Cup—had something to keep in mind when facing him. The thought of defeating him severely.

...Although what he cared about was not the opponent's negative attitude towards his chess skills...Moreover, he finally explained that this was just a misunderstanding caused by the translation.

but--

Based on the tears that Xiaoguang shed after losing chess, it was impossible for him to spare this arrogant brat lightly.

Gao Yongxia, who was young and immature back then, met the murderous Fujiwara Sakai, and only had three children...

The outcome of this game of chess is already doomed.

When Gao Yongxia landed on the three star positions on the right, the surrounding graduate students let out a burst of gasps, and all looked in the direction of Shinto Hikaru, as if to see who this teenage kid was. , How dare Gao Yongxia's third son.

Unmoved, Shinto put the chess box containing the white pieces by his hand, turned the lid over and placed it a little forward, then raised his head and looked at Gao Yongxia.

Then the two bowed their heads together.

Hong Xiuying was very nervous.

He has been aiming at Shinto Hikaru this year, chasing after him with all his strength, even if he fell into a bottleneck once, he overcame it with his excellent willpower, and has come all the way to the present.

And Gao Yongxia is the only strong player he agrees with in the entire Korean Chess Academy.

But that doesn't mean he thinks Gao Yongxia has the strength to defeat Shinto.

——However, if Gao Yongxia still loses miserably in the case of being handed over to the third son...

Then in his whole life... Will there really be a day when he can catch up with Hikari Kamito?

Hong Xiuying couldn't help but have such doubts.

He watched this game of chess with such a mood, and naturally felt that there was a different kind of danger in this game.

Every move of Jinto made him doubtful, and Gao Yongxia's response always made him sweat.

It wasn't until he felt the taste of rust in his mouth that he realized that he was so nervous that he bit his lip.

Realizing that she seemed to be overly anxious, Hong Xiuying tried to calm her emotions, and focused on the game on the table again.

Thanks to the handicap of those three stones, Gao Yongxia's black chess still has a slight advantage on the board.

But considering that Shinto has never launched a strong attack so far, just relying on the opponent's mistakes can equalize the situation to such an extent...

No one sees this advantage as anything to be optimistic about.

——Including Gao Yongxia.

He is someone who has seen the match between Shinto and Xiuying... Strictly speaking, it is the match between Shinto Hikari, Toya Ryo and Hong Xiuying.

In that game of chess, he saw the extraordinary fit between the two, and their strength was much higher than that of their peers. Even his former self would probably be defeated by these two.

——but by no means as good as he is now.

He always thought that his cognition of the legendary "Shindo Hikaru" would not have any major deviations.

After all, no matter how powerful a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is, how powerful can he be?

He didn't know how many people had this idea before they actually met Shinto Hikaru in the game field.

How many people, after playing chess, shook their heads and said to their companions, I underestimated him too much.

And today, he has to pay the same price as those predecessors——

Gao Yongxia stared at the chessboard solemnly.

After Shindo's sudden round of strong attack just now, he has no more eyesight.

Even if it continues, there is no hope of winning.

On the opposite side, Shindo's eyes were indifferent, his face was calm, his lips were drawn straight, and he didn't show any complacency after defeating a powerful enemy.

It's as if he won this game of chess very easily, and he doesn't feel any complacency at all.

Gao Yongxia closed his eyes and lowered his proud head.

"(…I lost)."
