The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

Time is like a shot of developer.

It will infiltrate your memory imperceptibly, resurface those pictures that have been dusty, and make those pasts that are trying to be forgotten seem to be covered up.

After returning from Korea, the memory of that night will always flash back in Guang's mind unconsciously.The more you want to forget, the more timeless you will be.

There's still one month left, and it's that guy's birthday...

Moving his eyes from the window to the house, he saw the gift bag being placed on the desk at a glance.

Unconsciously touching his own lips, Guang still doesn't know what he was thinking at that time, it was just so strange, and when he reacted, it was already like that.

Sitting on the bed, Guang threw the phone into the air and caught it.

It's a bit tricky.When my mother came to clean up the room before, she made many indirect comments about who this gift was going to be given to...

In Guang's mind, a somewhat crazy idea suddenly appeared.At least from Taya's point of view, going there would definitely be classified as "impossible and unimaginable".

One can almost imagine the unpredictable expression on Taya's face after discovering her plot.Light couldn't help squinting his eyes, full of anticipation.

I wonder if that guy will have time next Saturday...

Holding the phone in his hand, after doing N consecutive 360° front flips, Guang finally got up and dialed the phone number he knew by heart.

Taya house.In the chess room.

When he saw the "Xiu Ce Pu" in his father's hand, Liang slightly shook the hand hanging by his side: "Father, are you looking for me?"

Taya Yukihiro raised his head, closed "Show Ce's Book", and handed it to Liang: "A few days ago, I wanted to find a copy of Xiu Ce's chess record, but I took it without your consent. I'm sorry."

Liang stood where he was, glanced at "Xiu Ce Pu", but did not move.

"It can be seen that you cherish this photo very much." Taya Yukiyo looked at Liang with a calm expression, and there was no abnormality in his tone.

Liang's heart sank, but nothing showed on his face.

In "Xiu Cepu" is the Polaroid that Miss Shihe took when Shinto celebrated his birthday at the Go Club last year.Although I knew that my father's insight had always been keen, I never expected him to be so direct...

Father, what is he...

After a few seconds of silence, Ryo seemed to have made some kind of decision, looking directly into Taya Yukiyo's eyes: "Yes. Including the people in the photo."

Although I don't know how much my father noticed, but since the moment he knew what he wanted, he never thought of running away.

Because denying what you really think is tantamount to denying your past self.

"Shinto is a very special person to me." After a pause, Taya said again.

Xu did not expect his son to say these words, and Taya Xingyang stared at Liang with a sense of scrutiny.

And right now.

On the table in the bright room, the phone vibrated continuously.After ringing for about 2 minutes, it finally quieted down.

Almost at the same time, the phone screen lit up, showing that there were 6 missed calls from "The Sun".

Go back to the room.

The hand that was putting "Xiu Ce Pu" in the drawer hesitated for a moment in mid-air, and then took out the chess book again.

is this necessary?

Liang smiled self-deprecatingly, half leaned on the edge of the table, and couldn't help staring at the photos he took out from the book.He really can't see through his father.When leaving, my father only said one sentence, I believe, you always know what you want.Because his back was facing his father, he had no way of knowing his father's expression when he said this.

Or, it’s better not to know.

Although I have never regretted any of my decisions, as long as I am human, I am never completely free.

Even though he knows what he wants, when he thinks that getting what he wants will eventually come at the cost of hurting his loved ones, Liang feels as if he is on the verge of death, and it is difficult to breathe.

Letting out a deep breath, Liang was about to take out the "Xiu Ce Pu" and put the photos back into the book. His eyes scanned the mobile phone not far away, and he noticed that the blue light indicating that there were missed calls kept blinking.

When passing the chess room, Mingzi couldn't help but stop when she saw her husband folded his sleeves and looked at the courtyard thoughtfully.

"What's the matter, dear (あなた)?"

Taya Xingyang looked at his wife who was approaching him, and then turned his head to look at the courtyard: "I was just thinking, do we not know Xiao Liang enough these years?"

Words cannot describe how I felt when I saw that photo.Perhaps "shock" is more appropriate.Xiao Liang in memory is always calm and calm.It seems that it has been a long time since I have seen Xiao Liang showing such an innocent smile, so I almost forgot that Xiao Liang is only a 16-year-old child, the most important child of him and Ming Zi.

"He has... grown up..."

As soon as this remark came out, his wife immediately complained: "I just realized that Xiao Liang has grown up! He is just like you. He knows Go, Go, Go all day long!"

Although I don't know what happened to make my lover express such emotion.Xingyang didn't say much, and Mingzi didn't intend to ask more.

Taking the opportunity to "vent" the dissatisfaction in her heart, she approached her husband with a smile, and gently placed her right hand on his shoulder: "But I always feel that Xiao Liang always knows what he is doing. He has a sense of proportion."

Taya Xingyang looked at the courtyard, didn't speak, didn't look back, just put his hand on Akiko's and pressed it lightly.

At this moment, there was a trace of confusion in his heart that he hadn't felt in a long time.Xiao Liang is his own child, so he naturally believes that he has the ability to make independent judgments.But if it is as he guessed, Xiao Liang will choose an extremely difficult path.Besides, what about Shindo?What is he thinking?Although I don't have much communication with this child, I can clearly feel his influence on Xiao Liang.

If... "that day" really comes, as parents, what should they do to truly benefit their children?

One second before the phone rang, Guang still stared at the phone with hatred.

But when the phone really vibrated, Guang jumped on the spot as if surprised, and then hurriedly picked up the phone: "Taya?"

"Ah."

That guy's voice... doesn't seem to be energetic?

Guang glanced at the phone suspiciously, and put it back to his ear again: "Well...do you have time next Saturday? I mean, all day." As he spoke, he poked the phone on the table with his finger. gift bag.

"I'm not free on Saturday, but Sunday should be fine. What's wrong?"

"……?"

"Well, what?" Hearing Shinto's energetic voice on the phone, Ryoichi was a little lost.After he reacted, he only caught the modal particle at the end of Shinto's words.

There was a few seconds of blankness on the other end of the phone.

When he opened his mouth again, the high octave of light forced Liang to take the phone away from his ears: "Ta-ya!! Are you listening!!!"

"Sorry. What did you just say?"

"I said..." In the phone, the light can almost be heard as if restraining emotions, and took a deep breath, "Next Sunday, can you accompany me to a place?! All day!!"

Liang said without thinking, "Okay."

"That's a deal! See you at Tokyo Station at [-] o'clock next Sunday! Don't let me go!!"

"it is good."

"If someone asks you out again, you say you already have an appointment!"

"it is good."

Good, good, good, why are they all good! !That guy is really abnormal! !

Qi returned to Qi, Guang still couldn't help worrying: "Did something happen?"

Liang was slightly taken aback, but said in a calm voice, "Why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are a little weird today."

"..."

Taya's silence made Hikaru feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then...that's it."

"Um……"

The end of the words was still lingering on the lips, and there was already a beeping busy tone from the other end of the phone.

Liang admitted that he was a little absent-minded when he called just now, but was it so obvious that he could hear it?

Putting down the phone, Liang looked at the Polaroid on the table and sighed lightly, then clipped it back into "Xiu Cepu".

The author has something to say:

In fact, regarding "Xiu Cepu", there was a foreshadowing somewhere in the previous article. I wonder if you have noticed it?

The full text has been serialized until now, and the process has passed halfway~

After that, what should come, the good and the bad will always come~~

PS there are more on weekends
