Cherish the time

Zuo Wei was stopped by this sentence.

After listening to Xiaoguang's narration all night, he finally figured out what was going on with Xiaoguang's incompatibility.

But on the heels of this clarity was a... long solitude.

——It turns out that Xiaoguang's importance to him...is actually based on Fujiwara Sakai who played chess with him, grew up with him, and gave him dreams in that previous life...?

Jin Teng saw that his expression was dignified, and the soft brilliance around him was much dimmer than usual, obviously he hadn't turned this corner yet, so he sighed and continued.

"—Actually, what does it matter if it's him...?"

"It's true that I value you more because of the regrets I once had... and it's true that I like you because of the days I spent with him."

"But this in itself... is the future we will have."

"If there is no variable like me, you will experience everything in my story with the original Xiaoguang, and become the person I said in the story."

"But after I appeared..." Shindo Hikaru looked at the white sky outside the window, his eyes were wise and far-reaching, "You will still become that person."

"Whether you are 'him', the most important thing is not what you have experienced...but what kind of heart you have."

Fujiwara Sawei slowly opened his eyes, quietly looking at his immature and lovely side face, as if he saw the most real and softest part in the deepest part of this young man's heart.

"I don't see you as him...but you are him."

After Shinto Hikaru said this, he got out of bed and put on his slippers to open the door.

Zuo Wei sat on the bed for a while, and smiled with relief.

"Mom—!" Shinto Hikaru shouted upstairs, "What's for breakfast this morning—?"

"Fried eggs——" Mitsuko Shinoto's voice came from far away in the kitchen, "What's the matter today—? Woke up so early——"

"It's nothing—" Shinto Hikaru shouted back this sentence, and then began to rummage in the closet for the clothes to be worn today.

"What's the matter? ’ Zuo Wei asked curiously.

"Well——" Shindo Hikaru picked up two sets of clothes and studied them, and said with great interest, "Today... I want you to play chess."

"Eh? Zuowei was startled subconsciously, "why suddenly——"

"Not suddenly," Shindo chose a suit of clothes, and began to stuff himself into the clothes, talking while stuffing, "I've wanted to go for a long time... It's a good time to talk to you today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk to you Explain why I pay so much attention to Yijiao."

"Yijiao? 』A big question mark floated on Zuo Wei’s head, obviously he hadn’t kept up with his train of thought.

"Watani mentioned it a few days ago, saying that Yijiao is playing chess with the adults in the chess club." Shinto finally subdued the sweater, and started fighting with the trousers. "Go and play a game with him."

"Ah..." Zuowei finally figured out what was going on, "...Is it because of the chess game with me...? 』

"Well... part of it." After putting on his trousers, Hikari Shinto pulled his bangs casually with his fingers, "It's his lack of confidence in himself that's the big problem." He turned his head and smiled in Zuo's direction, "Do you mind accompanying me to do enlightenment work?"

After breakfast, Shinto and Sawei came out of the house.

"It's really cold..." A gust of cold wind poured into his neck, and Shinto Hikari shivered.

"Wrap up your scarf! ’ Zuo Wei shouted while waving his fan.

"Okay, okay..." Hikari Shinto tightened the scarf helplessly, "Whispering guy..."

"Xiao... Guang...?" Mingming's voice came from behind, "Who are you talking to?"

Shinto turned around happily, with a bright smile on his face, "Huh? No."

Fujisaki Akira was dazzled by his unexpected smile, blushed and lowered his head and let out a soft "oh".

During this period of time, Shinto has been busy with various things, and the only chance to meet him is at school. The contact between the two seems to be broken when he is outside the school. Mingdu hasn't gone to school together for almost three months.

The two walked on the way to school on the dead leaves that hadn't had time to be cleaned. The cracking sound of "crack" and "crack" was very clear in the cold morning.

Shinto Hikaru chatted with Akira Fujisaki casually, talking about the people and things he met recently, and by the way, he also cared about the other party's school entrance.

"I'll probably... go to Haze." Akira Fujisaki held the bag in both hands, and squeezed his hands together, his fingertips turned white, "After all, the grades... can't be helped."

"Ah..." Shindo Hikaru thought for a while, "...That's right."

"Hey!" Akira Fujisaki suddenly raised his head and turned sideways, looking at him angrily.

Shinto Hikaru let out a "puchi" laugh, stretched out his hand and patted Akira Fujisaki on the head, "I think... Going to Haze would be good too."

"...!" Akira Fujisaki was taken aback by his actions, and his face blushed completely.

"Hase... is also very interesting." Hikaru Shinto said lightly, "Especially the Go club...it's a very good place."

"Go Club?" Fujisaki was aroused by the new topic he brought up, "Is it a place to play Go?"

"En! A group of people can play Go together and participate in competitions together." Shinto nodded vigorously, "It's very interesting."

"But... I don't know how to play Go." Fujisaki's eyes lit up first, then he lowered his head in frustration as if remembering something.

"Haha, it's very simple." Hikari Shinto smiled, "And I can teach you too."

Akira Fujisaki covered his mouth in surprise, his flushed cheeks looked very cute, "Eh? Is it okay?...Professional chess players don't have to pay to teach..."

"What money are you talking about?" Shinto Hikaru waved his hand, "As long as I am free, I can teach you anytime."

The two walked to the school gate while chatting.

"Obviously—!" A girl yelled across most of the road, "Come to school with Xiaoguang again~?"

"——!" Fujisaki Akira's face turned red in an instant, and he ran directly towards the girl, shouting while running, "What are you talking about! Emi!"

Hikari Shinto watched the two girls play and go into school, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoguang, are you afraid of Mingming? ’ Zuo Wei asked a little puzzled.

"It's not that I'm afraid of her. Shindo Hikaru shook his head with a wry smile, "I just... don't know how to get along with these little girls. 』

"..." Zuo Wei didn't speak, his face was full of words: liar!It was so natural to get along with Mingming just now!

Shindo was speechless for a while, and tried to defend himself, "That's because it's obvious... well, forget it..." Then he shook his head and strode forward.

"Hey Xiaoguang, do you really dislike Mingming? 』

"Didn't I tell you that I regarded her as my sister..."

"But she seems to like you very much. 』

"She will meet someone she likes more... don't worry. 』

"But…"

The campus under the sun in the winter morning has wiped away the haze of suspicion, and it still looks like it should be in daily life.
