99. Ninety-nine
>> Try again, fail again, fail better.
Hikaru Shinto also thought about this problem, especially when he found that he was not as dependent on himself as he was in his previous life. However, even if he has decided to embark on the path of a professional chess player on his own, he cannot deceive his heart, and he still expects Taya Ryo to face him squarely and see him as a fierce rival in his previous life.
"I want to give it a try, just give it a try......" Shinto Hikaru knelt on the ground, the golden Liu Boy covered the expression on his face, his hands clenched into fists and his gently trembling body all explained his mood at the moment. Liu Fanxu looked at him, and after a long time, he curled the corners of his lips and said softly, "Okay, then give it a try." β
After Hikaru Shinto ended the game and finalized the first pass guΓ² place in the professional exam with a winning streak. Liu Fanxu accompanied him to the Go club in his memory that changed his life. "Do you really want to go up?" She finally confirmed, and Hikaru Shinto nodded, her expression determined and her eyes shining. Liu Fanxu smiled, knowing that his heart had begun to boil, because he was about to meet the opponent he identified.
"Then let's go." Liu Fanxu took the lead in stepping forward, and Jinto Hikaru took two steps to keep up with her pace, and the two walked into the building with firm steps.
In the elevator, Liu Fanxu and Shinto Hikaru stood side by side, even though he was about to reach her waist. She glanced at Hikaru Shinto and the ghost behind him, and asked softly, "Hikaru Ko, when was the last time you met him?" β
ββ¦β¦ In the sixth grade of elementary school," Hikaru Shinto recalled with a nostalgic look on his face that had long faded his youth, "At that time, I had just met Sawei. He had to play chess, so I brought him here. β
When Fujiwara Sawei heard his name, he immediately came back to his senses from his curiosity about the elevator, he looked at Liu Fanxu and Shinto Hikaru left and right, and asked "What ......" with a cute expression, so that Liu Fanxu couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his bulging cheeks. Seeing that his expression became aggrieved, and even muttered her name with a coquettish meaning, Liu Fanxu let go of his hand with satisfaction.
The teary-eyed Fujiwara Zuowei suddenly pounced on Jinto Guang's body for comfort, Jinto Guang helplessly looked at Liu Fanxu who was gently hooked by the corners of his mouth, sighed, and said, "Afan, don't bully Zuo Wei." β
Liu Fanxu didn't answer, she just grinned at Fujiwara Sawei. This smile of unknown meaning made Fujiwara Sao cry for Wow Wow, and he shrank behind Hikaru Fuji with a frightened face, as if his thin body could cover him, and he cried aggrievedly, "Xiao Fan, it's so terrible!" β
Hikaru Fuji was so noisy that he had a headache, he raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, and was about to open his mouth to appease the noisy Fujiwara Sawei, when the elevator door slowly opened with a 'ding', and they arrived. Irito Hikaru was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped out of the elevator, his steps were a little messy, and Liu Fanxu, who was following him, looked past his eager back and looked at the chess room hall inside the door. What kind of person is the child who is regarded as a fierce rival by Shinto Hikatsu?
Behind the reception desk at the entrance of the chess room, there was a young and beautiful young lady, and the regular customers who came and went here seemed to call her 'Miss Ichikawa' or something. Liu Fanxu smiled politely at her, took out his wallet, and said with a smile while handing her five hundred yen, "Hello, you can ask, are there any more powerful children here," she raised her hand and pointed at Hikaru Shinto next to her, and continued with a smile, "My brother is very powerful!" β
"Huh? Isn't it amazing? Miss Ichikawa's face was obviously disapproving, Liu Fanxu didn't refute, and Shinto Hikaru didn't feel dissatisfied, he just looked eagerly into the chess room.
When his gaze stayed in a certain place, Liu Fanxu knew that he had found the child, she followed his line of sight and found that behind a chess table facing the gate, there was a boy about the same age as Hikaru Shinto, who was concentrating on playing the chess game in his hand.
Hikaru Shinto's face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, he raised his hand and pointed at the boy, and said loudly to Miss Ichikawa, "Can I play chess with him?" Liu Fanxu's eyes always fell on the boy, and when he saw the boy who was concentrating on music suddenly looked up here, he had already guessed that Yao Guangmin would be worthwhile.
The boy looked at Shinto Mitsu in surprise for a few seconds, and then stood up and walked towards them, he looked at Shintoko with a smile on his face, he was elegant, and he was already quiet and not like a child at a young age. However, Liu Fanxu glanced at Hikaru Shinto next to him, in fact, how could he look like a normal elementary school student?
"Miss Ichikawa, what's going on?" Boy, no, it's Taya Ryo Although he was talking to the waiter behind the service desk, his eyes were shining and he looked at Hikaru Shinto, "Are you looking for someone to play against?" Come with me. β
Hikaru Shinto looked at him with a tangled face from the moment Taya Ryo stood in front of him just now, and when he heard him say this, he followed him to the place where Taya Ryo was sitting just now without saying a word.
Liu Fanxu lowered her eyelashes, her lips smiled, she nodded to Miss Shihe, and followed to their chess table. Because she deliberately staggered the two of them to introduce themselves, when she walked up to them, the two had already started a chess game with each other.
She glanced at the reluctant Fujiwara Sawei and knew that he actually really wanted to play against this child. However, this time, Hikaru Shinto's attitude was very resolute, and this game had been rehearsed many, many times, and it was a chess game he had been looking forward to for a lifetime.
Shinto Hikaru did not use the guide chess to deal with the opponent he identified, he was very serious about defeating him, because he knew that he did not have to worry about Taya Liang would collapse, on the contrary, he would catch up faster, this is a veritable chess nobleman in both the past life and this life.
Liu Fanxu was a little surprised, but she also understood Jinto's thoughts, although this dose of fierce medicine came too suddenly, and it suddenly made Ta Yaliang unable to deal with it. So, the fiasco is a matter of course. It's not just because Hikaru Shinto has come back and his chess strength is comparable to Sakuro, but also because of his self-sharpening that has never slackened since he woke up.
His gaze swept over Hikaru Fuji's hands, and the marks on his fingers and nails were proof of his hard work. This time, when he appeared in front of Taya Liang, he was no longer the naΓ―ve boy who was young and frivolous and casually slandered the way of Go without understanding the world.
The smile on Hikaru Shinto's face was a mixture of nostalgia and stubbornness, and he finally appeared in front of him as a chaser who appeared with Taya. Thinking like this, Hikaru Fuji's face was already full of tears, he raised his head, through the mist in front of him, grinned, and said contentedly, "Taya, great, great, I finally, I finally ......" He raised his hand and kept wiping the tears from his face, but the words after that were not spoken.
Taya Ryo was first shocked by his fiasco in the seat, and he looked at the chess game in front of him stiffly, unable to believe but had to believe. After a long time, when he finally came back to his senses and looked at the boy named Hikaru Shinto, who was the same age as him, sitting across from him, he found that the boy who was better than himself was looking at him crying and laughing, and his mouth was still muttering words that he seemed to understand.
Taya looked into Hikaru Shinto's eyes, and before that he had seen his hands, a pair of hands that had worked hard to hone his chess skills, the same as his. The lonely heart was suddenly filled with a strong resonance, and his gaze at Shinto Hikaru became more and more eager, and his shallow and quiet eyes became firm and sharp, although he didn't know what kind of love this kind of love that filled his heart was, but at least he knew that he was no longer alone on the road of chasing the hand of God.
"Shinto, can I still play chess with you?" Taya Liang looked at Hikaru Shinto on the other side of the chess table with flashing eyes, and asked in a firm and persistent tone, "Can I still play chess with you?" β
"Of course!" Hikaru Shinto gave him a thumbs up, his bright eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents, he grinned and smirked, and continued, "You're the rival of my life, which I managed to find!" β
"Opponents?" Taya Liang looked at the boy in a daze, and the tumbling and stirring emotions in his heart finally found the opposite, they poured out, quickly staining the cells of his body, and the ubiquitous trembling sensation made him clearly aware of the wonderful feeling that this word brought him. The corners of Tayaliang's lips slowly hooked, his eyes were unusually bright, he nodded heavily, and repeated, "Well, you are my opponent for life!" β
"Na, although I envy you for finding each other," Liu Fanxu smiled and interrupted the freshly baked rival of the century, seeing that their eyes were focused on her, then she stretched out her finger and tapped on the chess table, and continued, "Let's review, you guys, you should not only be opponents, but also friends," she lowered her eyelashes, and kept rolling in her mind the scene when she played against Spencer, her heart was complicated, but her face was not obvious, she smiled and continued, "Even if the opponent is a friend, let's make progress together." β
"Hey!" βοΌοΌοΌ Be. The two children replied in unison, and as soon as their words fell, they looked at each other and smiled, and then lowered their heads and looked intently at the chessboard, and began the review of the game.
Fujiwara Sawei stood silently on the side, half of his face was hidden behind the nine-bone fan, a pair of purple eyes faintly flashed with water, he trembled his lips, and lamented as if sad and joyful, "On the road of chasing the hand of God, what a happy and lucky thing it is to be able to meet the opponent of your life in a narrow way!" β
