Cherish the time

"Actually, during the time when I was sealed on the chessboard. ”Fujiwara Sawei lowered his head, looked at his own palm with distinct lines, “I thought about it too…”

"If I can continue playing chess...then even if it's killing people——! ’ He tightly clenched the folding fan in his hand, with a serious expression on his face, ‘During the thousand years when I was on the chessboard... I also had this idea. 』

Shinto stared blankly at his face, but didn't make a sound.

Zuo Wei was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "But the gods didn't give me a chance to make a choice. 』

"Xiaoguang," he looked into Shinto's reddish eyes again, "it's the same with you, you have no chance to choose at all. 』

"Because there is no chance to choose..." Shindo murmured hoarsely, "So there is no time for self-blame and regret...?"

"..." Zuowei looked at him with sad eyes, "...that won't change...anything. 』

"Xiaoguang, what are you doing making such a fuss in the room?" Shinto Mitsuko knocked on his door, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I'm fine." Shindo raised his voice a little annoyed and answered, "You can eat whatever you want."

"Then mom will make glutinous rice and pork ribs." Standing at the door, Mitsuko Shinto said, "Which one would you like to eat, pumpkin or celery?"

"..." Shinto sighed, "Any one is fine."

"But I only ate pumpkin two days ago," Shindo Mitsuko continued to struggle, "Let's cook beef with celery, and two more dishes for wine, Xiaoguang, what do you think?"

Shinto felt that the turbulent heart just now was dismissed by her three or two words, so he simply got up from the bed and sat and shouted to the door, "It's not bad! Dad will be very happy when he comes back!"

"Then I'll go get ready!" Shindo Mitsuko happily walked downstairs, and incidentally left a sentence, "You should also go out and do more activities. You can't just sit and play chess without exercising your body."

Shinto waited for the sound of her footsteps to disappear downstairs, wiped his tear-stained cheeks indiscriminately, and managed to hold up a little smile, "From now on... what should I do, Zuowei? "

The transparent ghost ignored him and just turned its head out of the window.

The golden light outside the window is just like a beautiful sunset scene.

After entering the dan, the rookie chess players have already been registered in the list of Oshoudai, and began to formally participate in the dan competition of professional chess players.

Shinto Hikari originally planned to win dozens or one hundred consecutive victories in Dashoukou to severely refresh the worldview of professional chess, but now he seems a little bit unmotivated to participate in the competition.

On the one hand, he knew that such a state was not suitable for long-term persistence, on the other hand, he couldn't get rid of the current situation.

——The fact that he devoured a soul made him, an ordinary person who has always been upright (except for Zuo Wei and Rebirth), lose his way forward in an instant.

Whenever he feels happy emotions, he inevitably thinks: This is something that should belong to 'him'...

It is precisely because he understands how gorgeous and beautiful the life that the "he" who is swallowed is about to experience is, that he blames himself more and more when experiencing it.

Under the shroud of this kind of self-blame, Shindo gradually became taciturn and stood up.

Apart from Shindo Mitsuko, Taya Ryo was the one who felt the change in him most clearly.

Finally, during a routine lunch time one day, Taya Ryo closed his lunch box with a "snap", and stared straight into Shinto's expressionless eyes with emerald green eyes, "What's wrong with you recently?"

"What?" Shinto smiled perfunctorily, avoiding his searching eyes in embarrassment.

"Although he is talking to me, it gives off a lifeless feeling." Ta Yaliang straightened his head with his hand to prevent him from looking away, "It's still so thin."

"It's natural to be taller and thinner."

But Taya made up his mind to ignore his nonsense, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm not going to the chess club, so you can't play chess anymore. Although you are still participating in the Oshoudai competition, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like you are competing with your heart. Last time, you almost lost to Wada Chudan." Taya Ryo's beautiful eyes showed a rare look of worry, "What happened?...Can't you...tell me?"

A little struggle flashed in Shinto Kiyoshi's brown eyes, and after a moment he smiled wryly, "It's really...it's nothing."

Taya stared at him for a while, then got up and began to pack the lunch box.

The atmosphere between them was so dignified, as if someone had drawn an invisible line between them, cutting off the possibility of their words and spiritual communication.

Zuo Wei watched this scene in silence at first, then turned his head away in discomfort.

——God!

——Why did you make Xiaoguang suffer such a great sin after giving him happiness!

However, the bad news didn't care about people's schedules, and came in an endless stream as if they were in a hurry.

Three days after Guangliang's quarrel, Shinto was called to the coffee shop by a call from Kazuya.

Sitting there, Hegu Jun was drinking ice water with a clouded appearance, which made Shinto, who had his own concerns, frowned worriedly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yijiao said he won't play Go anymore." Hegu gulped down the ice water in the glass, "He said he couldn't find the meaning to persevere, and planned to stay in the grade for a year and study hard to prepare for the university entrance examination in the future."

"When is this news?" Shinto opened his eyes wide in shock, leaned forward and asked like a cannonball, "Has he considered it?"

"I said I've been thinking about it for almost half a year." He Gu suppressed his anger and slammed the glass on the table. The loud "pop" made everyone in the coffee shop look over in unison.

However, Hegu seemed to be unaware of those condemning eyes, and continued to speak through gritted teeth, "What are you talking about, 'a person with no talent like me will leave sooner or later'...! It really makes people want to give him a shot. Take a look at the ladle and see what kind of rubbish it contains!"

"Sir... Please be quiet..." The uniformed waitress ran over with small steps and reminded in a low voice.

"Sorry." Shinto smiled bitterly, and made a gesture of begging for mercy, "We will pay attention."

"I just can't understand what he's thinking!" After seeing the waitress leave uneasy, He Gu picked up the kettle and poured himself another glass of ice water, "He's obviously not such a timid man, Why did you say such a spineless thing all of a sudden!"

"So spineless...I even want to just let him go!"

"Anyway, such a Shinichiro Ikaku will not have any great achievements in Go!" He said that he completely forgot the etiquette of the coffee shop when he was excited, and smashed his cup towards the table. A crisp "pop" sound!
