Cherish the time

Shinto Hikaru and Toya Ryo have played chess many times, from the day they met, they have been playing chess for several years.

Ta Yaliang even thought that they would go on like this for decades.

However, the fact that Shindo was ill awakened him from such "thoughts".

——He originally thought that there were still several decades, but it was shortened to a few months or a few years.

When Ta Yaliang thought of this, his nose couldn't help sour, and the eye sockets also turned red, which looked a bit like a rabbit.

But now we are playing chess, not the time to cry, so Taya warned himself not to get excited, tried to take a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the sour feeling that hit his forehead, and continued to stare at the chessboard with two purposes think about things.

...

He never beat Shinto Hikari.

Since meeting each other when he was 11 years old, he hasn't really won a game against Shinto.

Among opponents of the same generation, there is only one such person, Hikari Shindo.

Ta Yaliang moved while remembering, and couldn't help but slow down a little.

But it is such a person, at the beginning, it just made him feel that "this person is very powerful".

He couldn't help but think of the day when this guy suddenly appeared in the Go club and asked him "Do you like Go too?" with his big amber eyes open.

In a blink of an eye, almost seven years have passed.

He suddenly fell into memories, unable to extricate himself, a pair of dark green eyes were stained with a thin layer of water mist.

"Don't be distracted." Shinto reminded in a timely manner, "...Although I am sick, it is not easy to deal with." After finishing speaking, he hung a corner on the lower right.

Ta Yaliang regained his composure, occupied the lower left star position, and turned his mind back to the game in front of him.

So my mind was clear.

Seeing that he had regained his focus, Shinto also withdrew his attention from betting on him, completely immersed in the game.

They have fought against each other for many years, and they understand each other best. The routine at the beginning has not changed much.

Just after the prologue, the two sides exchanged a little in the lower right corner, and then the battle started, and then the battle board continued to expand, the upper right and upper sides were implicated together, and most of the entire chessboard was involved in this melee inside.

Ta Yaliang had some problems in this section, such as the 40th move did not continue to press the upper hand, the 44th move did not directly eat the upper right black four, and the 52th move was not decisive enough to sacrifice. Suppressed, the facial expression gradually became tense.

On the other hand, Shindo just dropped the pieces on the chessboard calmly, not to mention his expression, even his sitting posture didn't change much.

In fact, since he met Wang Xing a year ago and ended the unfinished game in one fell swoop, his realm is no longer the same as that of all chess players.

…He can see the veins of Go, feel the breath of Go, and hear the sound of Go.

Since then, he has become the undefeated king in this world of nineteen roads.

The chess pieces fell one by one.

Taya Ryo is in trouble.

The two sides each made more than 100 moves, and the number of chess pieces on the board was also the same. However, the white stones held by Jinteng firmly choked all of Heizi's vitality. No matter where Heizi wanted to break through, he would face ten deaths life situation.

He pondered and calculated, wondering if he could find a chance of survival from this net.

He was so serious that he didn't even realize that Shinto Mitsuko brought the nurse to give Shinto an IV.

The transparent liquid flowed through the needle into the dark blue blood vessel, and the needle marks on the hand were connected along the blood vessel one by one, looking very scary.

Then Shinto made a "shh" gesture to the frowning mother and nurse, signaling them not to disturb Xiaoliang's thinking.

Under his firm gaze, Shindo Mitsuko could only sigh helplessly, and led the nurse out of the room.

During the whole process, Taya Ryo didn't notice them.

His attention was completely focused on this game of chess, as if the whole world was left with only himself and the chessboard in front of him.

...

Taya Ryo knew how powerful Shindo Hikaru was.

As the number of matches between the two continued to increase and his own level continued to improve, he became more and more aware of...

——Shinto Hikari is different.

——Go, as understood by Hikari Shindo, is fundamentally different from what he understands.

To Shinto, Go is more like an instinct.

...It seems to be as natural as breathing, and there is no need to think about it at all.

and so…

It is almost impossible to defeat such a Shinto.

What a daunting conclusion!

But after reaching this conclusion, Taya Ryo didn't mean to be discouraged at all.

On the contrary, he was inspired to fight by this seemingly impossible goal!

——He wants to defeat Hikari Shinto!No matter how many years you have struggled for it!

He likes Go, likes to work hard, and likes to sharpen himself wholeheartedly in pursuit of a goal!

he likes--

The feeling of playing chess with Shinto!

The corner of Taya's mouth curled up, and the light in his eyes was bright and bright.

——If there is no way out, then he will fight a way out of all the dead ends!

Anyway, there has never been anything like Go, right?

This is a good move.

Or it should be said that this is the best move that Bai Zi can make under the current board.

Shinto Hikari breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt a little tired, so he leaned back lazily, leaning his entire upper body on the soft pillow behind him.

Ta Yaliang still looked down at the chessboard, presumably thinking about where the next move of the black piece would fall, and how the white piece should be dealt with.

——If it is this person, even if I am no longer by his side, he will definitely be able to go on well.

As long as you think about it like this, even the matter of leaving seems to be less unacceptable.

Shinto thought about it one by one, and some things that he had forgotten for a long time came to his mind one by one.

For example, the touch of that small stone in the park, such as the mood when I first joined the Go club.

...and Saoi whom I haven't thought of for a long time.

The wind blows from the window, dissipating the hot summer air and bringing a refreshing coolness.

Shinto Hikaru sat on the white hospital bed, his whole body was so pale that he was a little transparent.

He looked at Ryo Taya who was thinking seriously, and felt a sudden emotion rushed into his chest, which made him smile involuntarily, and gently closed his eyes.

——So, that’s how I felt.

——That would be really great... Zuowei.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the last two sentences, please recall the passage where Xiaoguang asked Zuowei in his dream at the end of volume No.17.

——When you disappeared...how did you feel?

— is it very sad?

——Still smiling like now?

——It would be great if it was a smile.
