The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

Someone's hug is like a blindfold, almost making Guang forget his true nature.

In the warm arms, I heard Liang's voice suddenly sinking: "But, Shinto Hikaru, you just wore a set of pajamas and ran around the room early in the morning, what is it..."

The alarm could not help but ring in Guang's heart, and before he finished speaking, he ran back to the room and closed the door with a ping-pong sound.

When Guang returned to the living room again in "formal attire", there were two bowls of miso soup and two bowls of rice on the dining table.

He tilted his body, saw that Taya was still busy in the kitchen, so he turned on the TV in order to make the living room quieter.

Not long after, Liang came over with a plate of tamagoyaki and vegetables.

Eating breakfast is also so particular...Guang complained in his heart, seeing that his stomach had already sang empty city tricks, he held the chopsticks in both hands, said "I'm starting", and put a portion of jade sticks on the chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.Compared with Guang's "barbaric", Liang is more like an elegant gourmet, delivering rice to his mouth without rushing.

But when the starving tiger's spokesperson glanced at the TV screen, the movement of his hands suddenly froze, and his eyes were glued to the screen like glue and never moved away.

At this moment, the latest news about the post-earthquake relief in Niigata is being broadcast on the TV news.

More than half a month has passed since the earthquake, and most of the TV broadcasts deliberately avoided uncomfortable images. However, the shock caused by some experiences may not have been noticed at the time, but as time goes by, it is like As if the time-delay device was activated, after many years, there was an uproar in my heart.

Although we were not in the epicenter area at the time, when I thought of those who had lost their loved ones in the disaster area, standing in front of the ruins of the collapsed houses, they kept saying "I am causing you trouble", "Too much trouble" to the rescuers at the scene. Thank you," the disaster victims, when they thought of those shocking landslides and ground deformation, Guang felt an indescribable embarrassment and guilt in his heart.

For the same fate in Niigata at the time, but a completely different fate; and for myself who is now sitting peacefully in front of the TV and enjoying a delicious breakfast.

It was a look that Liang was all too familiar with.

Whenever Guang was concentrating on one thing, his face was as cold and serious as if a layer of frost had condensed on it, and the aggressive gaze in his eyes pierced the screen like two sharp edges.

An idea was brewing rapidly in Guang's mind.

Noticing the strangeness of the lover, the gourmet on the side also put down his chopsticks at some point, quietly waiting for Guang's next words.

Organized the words in his mind, sat up straight, and finally turned his head to look at Taya: "I want to hold a charity fundraising event for the disaster-stricken areas in Niigata, in the form of public welfare instruction chess."

Liang didn't answer immediately.There was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but more of it was an affirmation full of pride and praise.

He briefly shook Guang's hand, said in a low voice, "I'll make a phone call", and walked towards his bedroom.

When he returned to his seat, Liang's voice was the same as before, but it was even more pleasant when it fell in Guang's ears: "As for the public welfare instruction of chess, my father said that after he contacted the chess academy today, he will contact you as soon as possible if there is any news." tell us."

"Mr. Taya..." Liang's phone call didn't last long, but it was enough for him to calm down and think carefully about his somewhat whim-like proposal just now.

At this moment, when he heard that his impromptu intention had disturbed the famous person in front of Taya, he felt a little shaken in his heart, but the power from his hand smashed the hesitation in his heart like a boulder.

In the originally calm eyes, at the moment of looking at the light, there is suddenly a lot of doting and affection.

"Guang, I really want to hide you, so that no one will know your existence..."

Although Toya Yukihiro has retired for a long time, thanks to his help, in just 2 days, Hikari's idea got the support of Nihon Ki-in, and won the following awards including: Ogata [-]th Dan Celebrities, Ichiyanagi Chess Master, Kurata Eight dan, Toya seven dan, Kobayashi Sachiko Ryumoto Inbo and many other top players unanimously responded.

On the website of Chess Institute, once the registration information about the public welfare guided chess fundraising activity was released, emails applying to participate in this activity flooded in like snowflakes.The number of people is beyond anyone's imagination.

In order to strike while the iron is hot, the Chess Academy worked together from top to bottom, and in just one week, all the specific activities were arranged in place.

Since it is a public welfare chess guide, all professional chess players participating in the event will not have any salary. However, for Go lovers participating in this event, a donation of 1 yuan is required for each game of chess guide. Guidance requires a donation of at least 8 yen, with no upper limit.As for chess players who only come to watch the game, they also need to pay at least 5000 yen as a viewing fee.

According to the agreement, all the donations raised on the day of the event will be handed over to the person in charge of the Niigata Local Disaster Relief Donation Distribution Committee after the event is over.

Xu is of a public welfare nature, and the event received unprecedented attention on the day, and several well-known mainstream news media were present to report on the event.This event also brought about a series of unexpected chain reactions, although this is a story for later.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, after the chairman of the Nihon Ki Academy Council gave a brief speech, the event officially began.

Looking around, there were no empty seats in front of the 8 long tables in the semi-enclosed structure of the venue.On a total of 24 chessboards, there are extraordinary games with different progress.Needless to say, Go enthusiasts who are playing against professional players, there are at least two spectators standing next to almost every game.

On Guang's side, just after finishing a game of guiding chess, a little boy about four or five years old sat across from him and asked to play a one-on-one guiding chess game with Guang.Judging from the clothing of the boy and his mother, their family is not rich. The donation of 8 yen is not a small amount for them, but the mother still gritted her teeth and adopted her child.

Although the little boy is not very old, his whole body exudes a mature atmosphere, and his chess layout is also very safe.

During certain moments of playing chess with him, Guang actually felt as if he saw Taya when he was four or five years old from him, and he made up his mind unconsciously that he must look at the photos of Taya when he was a child.I don't know what happened to him in the process of growing up. The little bun who was supposed to be soft and sticky has grown into the current master of disguise with a poisonous tongue and a dark belly.

But it took only a few seconds to study the history of the little bun's mutation, and Guang focused all his thoughts on the chess game in front of him.Even if his opponent is a child who has just entered kindergarten.

The difference between guided chess and formal chess games is that the purpose of guided chess is not to win the game, but to make the opponent understand their intentions and find a better opponent through guidance.With the accumulation of experience as a professional chess player, Hikari understands more and more how to guide the chess in a way that is more beneficial to the opponent, but in his mind, the two games that Sai played against Taya in the Go clubhouse are more and more lingering in his mind. don't go...

In the first game of chess, Sai, who was clearly guiding, cut off Taya's white stone in the second game.Is this the pride of being a chess player?

Glancing at the chessboard in front of him, it should be almost here...

Guang raised his head and glanced at the little chess player sitting opposite him, the words that were on his lips were swallowed back.

Only the spinning head can be seen.Slumped shoulders.Shaking body.

Very much like Taya from that day.

No matter which point, it clearly revealed the unwillingness and frustration in the heart of the little chess player at the moment.Even if the opponent is a seven-dan player who has entered the Honinbo circle and is more than ten years older than himself.

Although I feel sorry for the chess player who is waiting behind, Guang still wants to give him enough buffer time.

Fortunately, the little boy cheered up very quickly. In his pupils, besides the twinkling tears that had not faded away, there were also little stars that seemed to radiate longing light.

Only then did Guang open his mouth: "May I ask your name?"

"My name is Takuya Nakajima!"

"Then, does Takuya like Go?"

"I like it! I like Go the most!!" After finishing speaking, Takuya blushed slightly, "I also really admire you Shindo-sensei!!"

It was the first time that a child was called a "teacher" with a look of admiration on his face. Guang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but in order to live up to his tall image in Takuya's heart, he still showed the posture that a teacher should have.

Hikari Takuya looked to the right: "Did you see the big brother with the green hair?"

Takuya looked in the direction that the light pointed, and nodded vigorously: "I know, it's Toya Ryo!"

Hearing Taya's full name popping out loudly from the mouth of a kindergarten student, Guang couldn't help laughing, but still said seriously: "Don't look at him being very good now, he kept losing chess when he was young. Even when he was 12 years old, he still lost Still crying, and the kind of crying in a particularly embarrassing way (sorry, Taya, but I'm telling the truth anyway)."

"Shinto-sensei, are you familiar with Taya Ryo?"

Facing Takuya's innocent big eyes, Hikaru gave two powerless "hehe" in his heart, and decided to ignore his childish words: "Takuya, were you wondering just now whether you have a talent for chess? You have to know, no A person is a genius from birth. Even Taya Ryo, who is so powerful, has been studying chess records every night and stumbled all the way to where he is today. Never underestimate yourself, but always respect your opponent .It’s not terrible to lose, what’s terrible is not knowing why you lost.”

Takuya, who still had grievances in his eyes before, heard two small fires in his eyes after hearing Hikari's words.Although small, it can start a prairie fire.

Before leaving his seat, Tuo did not forget to ask Guang one last question: "Mr. Shindo, when I grow up, can I join your school?"

Guang was stunned for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up: "Of course!"

Watching Takuya being led away from the venue by his mother, he just took a sip of water and pretended to turn his head casually, but the moment he almost met Taya's gaze, he tried his best to keep his gaze back naturally.

At the same moment when Hikari turned his head away, Taya turned his face sideways, with a thoughtful and bewildered smile on his lips...

The event, which was originally scheduled to end at 5 pm, was delayed until 8 pm because there were too many people present.

After the event, according to on-the-spot statistics, a total of nearly 800 million yen was raised.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the person who contributed to the event had been singled out, and immediately surrounded him with a swarm of swarms.Even a certain light who wanted to have a few words with him could only be isolated from the encirclement.

Looking at the lonely figure outside the circle through layers of reporters, Liang was eager to "put things right", but saw his lover slowly shaking his head towards him.

Just when the two were looking at each other across the "wall", they didn't know that a camera had quietly captured this intriguing scene...

Although staying in Taya Apartment for the first time seemed half-hearted, but after experiencing many benefits, Guangye was happy to go with the flow and reap the rewards.

After successfully escaping from the reporters' pursuit that day, Hikari and Taya returned to his rented apartment.

They entered the room one after the other, and just as the door closed behind them, Liang turned around and pressed the light against the door.

The whole day's activities, too densely arranged, made it almost impossible for the two people who were thinking about each other to talk.Thanks to the "tacit cooperation" of their brothers in the same sect, they managed to miss the excellent opportunity to be alone during the rare lunch break.The two people who were close at hand occasionally wanted to make eye contact, but the spectators were like an impregnable wall, raising the difficulty factor by more than one level.

Different from the past, Liang's kiss today is domineering and possessive.The scorching breath lingered around Guang's ears and neck, burning his sensitive skin like fire, making him lean back involuntarily.He wanted to call his lover's name, but his voice was forcefully cut off between his lips and teeth.Once grabbing the lips of the light, Liang will conquer the city all the way, tumbling and entangled in the mouth of the light.Being imprisoned between Liang's arms strongly and powerfully, Guang wanted to struggle, but he felt his whole body was weak, and even his thoughts seemed to sink in his kiss a little bit...

When Liang finally left Guang's lips, the two of them were either embarrassed or connected with each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

"Hey, Taya, show me your childhood photos sometime too?" Hikaru tugged at the corner of Liang's clothes, speaking like a child asking for candy.

Liang supported the light, moved closer, and lowered his voice deliberately: "What are you looking at? See that I'm crying in 'extreme embarrassment'?"

Guang secretly shouted "Damn", and wanted to go for the best plan, but the enemy used his plan and circled him from behind: "As far as I can remember, I have only cried twice. Both times it was because of someone."

Guang's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended he didn't understand. He took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, then went into the kitchen, took his own water glass and poured water.

With the frequent visits of the future owner, in addition to necessities such as slippers, cups, and chopsticks, there are also more daily necessities such as toothbrushes, towels, and changes of clothes.

Guang was drinking water, but the water glass in his hand was snatched by someone behind him, and he leaned impartially on the rim of the glass he had just drank, and took several sips in a row.

Just as he was about to leave, Taya's cell phone rang, not wanting to be seen like a childish maniac.

Seeing that Liang was on the phone, Guang subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but his arm was clasped by Childish Maniac.

He didn't intend to eavesdrop, but words like "Tianyuan War", "Hyogo", and "Next Wednesday" from the phone still caught Hikaru's attention.

After Liang hung up the phone, Hikaru, who was held in his arms, moved his throat, and finally only asked for confirmation: "Taya, do you have a chess game in Hyogo next Wednesday?"
