Cherish the time

Jin Teng has many plans in his heart, so it is inconvenient to talk to others, so he just decides to continue to pay attention to Zhang Yu's progress.

Although he felt that his time was short, if the arrangements were made properly, it should be barely enough.

The next night, a group of four arrived at the opening venue of the competition - an extremely high-end office building in the city center - without having dinner.

Since they arrived at the venue early, they could not only see the staff who were adjusting the broadcast screen, but also the two masters of ceremonies anxiously running around with their hand cards.

"Wow..." Zhang Yu pointed to the screen on the stage and said in surprise, "Is it such a big screen?"

"Look, there is a camera on the side of that chessboard. After the game starts tomorrow, there will be a grandmaster explaining it." Shinto casually pointed to a chessboard placed in the distance, "Speaking of it... also I don’t know who will be the commentator at that time.”

"—Ah, it's Mr. Ogata!" Zhang Yu spotted Ogata coming out from behind the scenes in a white suit with sharp eyes, and immediately waved his hand to greet him—after getting along these days, everyone has become familiar with him a lot , so it is reasonable to have such a move.

Hearing the voice, Ogata glanced this way, and after seeing who was coming, he walked towards them.

"Good evening, why are you here so early?" He stood beside the four of them while wearing a tie, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet." Ashihara was not very surprised, it seemed that he had known about the matter that Ogata was in charge of explaining for a long time, "Have the Chinese and Korean teams arrived?"

"The Chinese team is here, and the South Korean team is on the way. It is estimated that they will arrive within 10 minutes." Ogata said as he tied his tie, then tidied up his neckline quite skillfully, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on. .

He was already handsome, and his attire brought out his charm to [-]%. The two little girls who had been staring at him from a distance blushed with excitement.

However, Ogata just glanced at Shinto subconsciously, and saw that this person was smiling and talking to Taya, and just about to speak, he heard a shout of "Shinto Hikaru" from a distance.

A group of people looked back, only to see that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy... who looked a bit like a shrunken version of He Gu!

Shinto immediately knew who this person was, but he didn't know why Le Ping, who obviously hadn't appeared in the Beidou Cup in his previous life, would appear here now.

Seeing a group of people looking towards him, Le Ping immediately covered his mouth and hid behind Zhao Shi, muttering something to Zhao Shi.

Shinto and Zhao Shi once chatted for a few words, and when their eyes met, the two nodded towards each other, which was regarded as a greeting.

Le Ping immediately hooked Zhao Shi's neck with bright eyes and dragged him to another direction.

...but was stopped halfway by Yang Hai holding his collar.

So it was the old routine of Le Ping showing his teeth and claws, Yang Hai holding his hips to lecture, and Zhao Shi standing aside laughing and watching.

Shindo watched their interaction for a while, then took out his mobile phone as if he suddenly remembered something, and called Kazuya.

He Gu stood beside Shinto, "Is this the person you said I must come to meet?"

Shinto hummed calmly, and spoke slowly. "Don't you think he's like your long-lost brother."

He Gu: "..."

When He Gu was speechless, Yang Hai led the Chinese team and a group of three people over.

"Good morning, Mr. Ogata." As a team leader who is proficient in multiple languages, Yang Hai naturally greeted Ogata in Japanese, "This must be everyone from the Japanese team. Could you please introduce me?"

Ogata pushed his glasses and introduced him one by one.

Then he turned around and introduced several members of his team, but his eyes kept lingering between He Gu and Le Ping.

Le Ping also stared at He Gu curiously for a while, and then happily pulled Zhao Shi over and whispered something into his ear.

Zhao Shi was immediately amused, giggled, and immediately covered his mouth.

Yang Hai glanced at the two of them, smiled apologetically at the Japanese people, said a few words of greeting, and took them away.

Not long after they left, the South Korean team arrived at the venue.

Because Gao Yongxia is too eye-catching from height to appearance, this group of people attracted the attention of a large number of girls and aunts as soon as they appeared on the stage. Even Yue Ye, who had just arrived at the scene not long ago, looked at the long-haired man at the door with bright eyes. I even forgot to drink.

Gao Yongxia is used to this kind of occasion where everyone pays attention to him, his eyes swept around the venue, and he walked towards Jindo with his long legs.

Shinto felt that Tsukino was about to suffocate.

So he kindly stood a little forward, and took the initiative to meet the other party's sight.

"(Long time no see, Gao Yongxia)."

"(Long time no see), Hikari Shinto."

From his calm tone, Shinto could hear the meaning of being determined to fight. He slumped his face and thought for a while, thinking that teenagers have this temper, so he stretched out his hand to encourage him without paying much attention, "(Come on today)."

Gao Yongxia glared at him, and stretched out his hand reluctantly.

He rushed to the front by himself, and he was almost finished speaking, when the three people behind came over.

The leader of the Beidou Cup this time is not Ahn Tae-sun, but another Korean chess player who is not even close to Ahn Tae-sun. His name is Park Kyung-seok. He looks to be in his 20s and has a very calm personality.

Ogata and the others had had contact with him before, and after a few greetings, he didn't seem particularly unfamiliar.

It's just that Hong Xiuying kept staring at Shinto, who was pushed ahead as the Japanese translator, with eager eyes that seemed to burn people into ashes.

Shinto Hikaru thought for a while, looked at the gap and smiled at him, and made a "wait a minute" gesture by the way, signaling him to be calm.

After being taken care of by him, the boy put away his warm gaze, turned his head and talked to Gao Yongxia, but still glanced at him from time to time.

After the South Korean team bid farewell to the Japanese team and greeted the Chinese team, Shindo approached Xiuying and greeted him very naturally.

"(Congratulations, we meet again)."

His words sounded a bit weird, but Hong Xiuying still understood, and nodded proudly and self-confidently.

Seeing his proud look with his chin raised slightly, Shindo smiled and tilted his head, "(...So, actually, do you miss me)?"

"Who misses you!" Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying jumped out of her complacent look, "I'm here to fight you!"

Seeing that the other party had switched to Japanese, Shinto also changed back graciously, "Oh? Are you the commander?"

"..." Xiuying choked immediately, her baby face flushed all of a sudden, and after a long while, she said with no confidence, "Even if it's not the main general... I can always play against you after the game is over, right?"

"Well..." Shindo dragged out the end of his voice, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing his pretentious performance, Xiuying immediately remembered how this guy pretended to be a Go novice to brag about herself, and immediately gave him an arm in annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Okay, okay." Shindo immediately surrendered, "After tomorrow's game is over, let's go to Taya's go club."

"Huh? There's a Go club at his house?" The kid immediately changed his expression eager to try, "Is it possible to meet Taya Yukiyo?"

"It depends on whether you have this luck."

……

After a group of people stood or sat on the ground and waited for a while, a staff member informed them that the opening ceremony was about to begin and invited them to the rostrum.

So a group of people went up to pose for a pose, took a few photos, and watched the boss make a color cut. The task for tonight was basically over.

Then the three participating teams drove back to the hotel arranged by the organizer.

While in the car, Shinto deliberately talked to Zhao Shi who was sitting next to him, and then asked something mysteriously.

Then Zhao Shi whispered a few words in his ear, he showed a suddenly realized expression, turned his head and bit his ear with Taya.

"At that time, Le Ping was asking whether He Gu also had the same protruding belly button as him."
