Cherish the time

Shinto roughly told Hetani about his guess about the change of Yijiao. He spoke firmly, but Hetani's reaction after listening was——

"Hahahahahahaha—!" He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, as if he had heard some terrible joke.

Although Shindo didn't know what to do, he also knew that he was being laughed at by this guy, so he frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"I said you..." He Gu smiled until tears came out, clasped his shoulders with both hands and tried hard to restrain the trembling caused by the smile, "Is this the part of your 'self-righteousness'?"

"Yijiao, although sometimes he seems a little cowardly, he is definitely not a guy who will give up Go because of this kind of blow." He Gu vowed to make the final conclusion.

"..." Shinto's cheeks were burned by his blunt words, and he rarely put aside the troubles that had been lingering in his mind for the past few days, and murmured childishly, "I was so angry just now, And now he speaks like he knows better than anyone else.”

"Oh." He Gu sighed again, and lay down on the table listlessly, "I also know that Yi Jiao must have encountered something unavoidable..."

"...But I still feel angry..."

"Obviously possessing such an outstanding talent, obviously loves Go so much..."

"But in the end, do you still have to give up..."

As Hegu talked, he became more and more depressed, holding the spoon in the sugar cup and tapping the wall of the cup lightly.

Seeing Kazuya in this state, Shinto fell into silence along with him.

The two sat in the coffee shop for a while, and He Gu put the spoon on the table suddenly, stood up, "Let's go."

"Huh?" Shinto followed him and stood up without knowing it.

"I really can't just ignore it like this," He Gu kneaded his fist and made a crackling sound, "I want to ask that guy Yijiao in person what's going on."

Shinto was silent for a while, and then asked slowly, "Didn't he tell you about this in person?"

He Gu was also silent for a while, and said bitterly with a downcast face, "At that time... I didn't react."

So Shindo followed Hetani to Yijiao's house.

It's Ikaku's family, but it's Ikaku's residence in Tokyo.

It was a small apartment in an apartment building near the Chess Academy, and Gu Shu found the destination on the third floor familiarly, and knocked on the door with a "dong dong dong".

After knocking for a while, there was still no response from the door.

He Gu went to the cat's eye and looked inside for a long time, "It seems that he has gone out."

"Oh?" Shindo leaned over to the door and listened, "It seems so."

"Then what should we do?" He Gu knocked on the door again as if venting his anger, causing the person living next door to shout "Be quiet!"

The voice was so rough and powerful that Ling Hegu lowered his trouble-causing fist embarrassingly.

"Wait here?" Shinto sat down along the wall, leaning his head against the white wall.

He Gu also imitated him and sat down along the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling above his head, "What should I do..."

The two teenagers just sat against the wall, and what they saw in front of them was the scene of the city in spring.

There are endless vehicles, pedestrians rubbing shoulders, and cherry blossom trees with new buds and buds.

The spring sun shone warmly, shining on the skin of the two people whose temperature was low due to sitting in the coffee shop for too long, giving people a sense of warmth and satisfaction.

A thin breeze blows past the face, blowing the broken hair on the forehead and temples, and taking away the uncomfortable humidity.

Perhaps because they were too comfortable, the two young men narrowed their eyes slightly, as if they were about to welcome a good afternoon dream.

In such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Shinto said lazily, "Are you and Ikaku... familiar?"

"Oh...it's quite familiar..." Hegu yawned and rubbed his glasses, "After I was admitted to the academy, he took me to familiarize myself with the whole chess academy."

"At that time, Yijiao was even more introverted than now, and he would blush when he said a few words casually."

He seemed to have remembered something very interesting, and his eyes full of vitality suddenly turned into two curved arcs, "When he first introduced himself, although he was so shy that even his ears were red, The eyes are so bright."

"At that time, I thought such an introverted boy was really funny, so I pestered him to visit all the places that should be visited and should not be visited."

"And then it became so familiar."

This is the first time Shinto heard about Ikaku's previous personality, and his interest was immediately aroused, "Huh? But now I can't see how shy she used to be."

"People, you have to grow up." He Gu raised his hand and brushed the hair that was blown in front of his eyes behind his ears, "And more and more people noticed Yijiao later, and it gradually became less so. Scared of people."

Shinto digested his words, and asked in a confirming tone, "That is to say... are you Ikaku's first friend in the chess academy?"

"Hmm..." He Gu looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then smiled, "I should ask Yi Jiao about this."

"That's true." Shinto thought for a while and then laughed.

The two chatted about Yijiao one after another, interspersed with some anecdotes about professional chess players.

After chatting for more than an hour, Yi Jiao appeared at the end of the corridor with a bag of lunch box.

Yijiao first glanced at the road ahead indifferently, and then stared at Kazuya and Shinto who were sitting in front of their house with straight eyes.

"Yo." Kazuya first found Yijiao who had returned, and interrupted the discussion with Shinto about "Does Mr. Ogata have a girlfriend?" He stood up and greeted Yijiao with a smile, "What's for dinner tonight?"

Seeing that He Gu stood up, Jin Teng also turned his head, stood up, and greeted him, "Good afternoon, Yijiao-kun."

"Good afternoon." Yijiao nodded cautiously, walked over and took out the key to open the door, "You..."

"I'm here to play chess with you." He Gu took the plastic bag in his hand, flipped through it a couple of times unceremoniously, "Oh, there are canned peaches."

After speaking, he took out the canned peach meat and held it in his hand, and continued to turn over it persistently.

Shindo who was standing aside did not speak, he saw that when Ikaku heard Kazuya's words "Come to play chess with you", the movements of his hands obviously paused.

——It seems that it may not be so smooth.

This thought flashed through his mind, and the next second he heard Yi Jiao whisper, "I'm... not going to play chess anymore."

Zuo Wei stood aside and frowned and looked at Yi Jiao, his beautiful lips pursed into a downward arc.
