The ten-year trace of the soul of chess
Chapter 149
Outside the window are thick cotton-like clouds, and the cruising altitude of nearly 11000 meters is under our feet.
On board a Boeing 77 from Haneda Airport to London Heathrow Airport.
Sitting in the business class with few passengers, Guang only felt a huge grievance.
Time rewinds to 30 minutes ago.
Tokyo time, 11:45 a.m.
Passing through the boarding gate, walking across the corridor bridge, stepping into the cabin, and walking up to the business class, all eyes were full of excitement.
However, the next second.
The smile on his bare face faded like a cliff.
To be exact, just bewildered.
He was completely stunned by the seat distribution he saw in front of him.
It shouldn't be like this...
From Tokyo to London, even a direct flight takes at least 12 hours.
Considering someone with long legs, sitting in the narrow economy class seat for a long time and unable to stretch his legs and feet, Guang specially quietly upgraded the economy class ticket originally booked in advance by Qiyuan to business class, even though he knew that the armrest of the business class seat might It can't be turned up at will like the economy class, but if someone can sit comfortably and sit next to someone, then it seems that it is not unacceptable to be a little bit difficult to be separated by an armrest.
But "those people" don't know anything.
In order to be able to appreciate the change of someone's expression when he discovered his "masterpiece" for the first time, after checking in, he hid the two tickets for various reasons.
When Liang finds out that he secretly switched to business class, what expression will he have?
surprise?move?Or... completely speechless?
Liang's reaction when he saw the business class seat has been simulated many times in Guang's mind, so that every time he thinks about it, he can't help but laugh out loud.
But all the expectations and hopes were shattered like bubbles in the light of his ears the moment he saw the distribution of business class seats.
It is true that he asked to be changed from economy to business class, and the airline staff did upgrade him, but it should not be like this, and it should not be at the cost of separating the two of them - because it was on the phone After the upgrade, seat selection is done directly through customer service. I have never expected that there are airliners that are in business class. All seats are arranged at a 45-degree angle, and there is at least an arm’s length between each seat in the front, rear, left, and right sides. The distance of the exhibition [1]!
It shouldn't be like this.Light shook his head annoyed.
The obvious psychological gap made Guang almost forget that there were other passengers who needed to board the plane. He just stood there in a daze at the entrance of the aisle until Liang softly called "Guang", then raised his head blankly, and then seemed to As if waking up from a dream, he took a look behind him, then consciously leaned towards the side of the aisle, and waited for some passengers to pass the business class, then seemed to finally accept the seat distribution of the business class, slowly and silently boarded the ticket Go to your corresponding seat.
The way the light behaves is really weird.
You can almost see the rapidly drooping ears and tail on the head and behind the light after entering the business class.
He could vaguely guess the reason why Guang was so lost, Liang could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye and let Guang go to his own seat.
He clasped Guang's wrist, pulled him back to his side, raised his hand and rubbed Guang's head, and said with an overly gentle smile: "Thank you for everything you have done for me, I am very happy. Although we will be apart for a while, But I'm always by your side, you know?"
"..." Of course I know!But...it's different...
What really made Guang worry about was not that he was forced to be separated from Liang for nearly 12 hours afterwards, but that he rarely wanted to do something for the person he cared about, but still self-defeating.
Even though he felt very uncomfortable, when Guang raised his head to look at Liang, he still managed to squeeze out a smile: "Well, then I'll sit down first."
Amidst the roar of the engine, the Boeing 77 airliner drew a long tail cloud in the sky.
Sitting quietly in the seat, occasionally looking at the blue sky outside the window.
Why "wronged" instead of "frustrated"?
The so-called "grievance" is usually an emotion that arises after being treated unfairly. Looking at myself, it is indeed the fault of my own inconsideration. So where does the emotion of "grievance" come from?
I can't even tell myself.
But only after a while, the light figured it out.
It is indeed "grievance", yes.
If the airline can remind one more thing when booking a ticket, if the business class of all planes can look exactly the same, today's "oolong" will not happen.
So, it's still the airline's fault - there are always times when people will be unreasonable and insist on finding excuses on others to justify themselves.Even knowing that the fault is not with the other party.
But it may also be that the body is in mid-air, and the heart is also opened up.
Light/qi/breathing, the anger will slowly disappear, and I don't want to bother with the airline.
More than ten minutes later, seeing that the food delivery service has ended, the flight attendant is packing up the plates in the work area behind the curtain in front, and the other 3 passengers in the business class also fell asleep one by one, and the little Jiujiu in their stomachs secretly took off. tip.
Before taking action, after reconfirming the cabin environment, Guang quietly unfastened his seat belt, boldly leaned out, and tried his best to reach out to the left front seat—that's where Liang was.
As if sensing movement behind him, when Liang turned his head, he saw the little idiot who was stretching out his left hand towards him.
He hastily unbuckled his seat belt, and also tried to shake bare hands as much as possible.
near.near.
Just a little, just a little...
It's like two aircrafts are about to complete a precise docking in the air.
The back muscles were completely tensed, and the teeth were clenched tightly unconsciously.
Borrowing inertia, first pinch Liang's fingers, and then move the fingertips up a little bit... Finally, he completely grasped Liang's hand.
Warm and slender.
call……
Clearly feeling the real touch from Liang coming from the fingertips, the knot stuck in his chest seemed to be relieved a little bit, and the childish child Guangbao shook Liang's hand slightly, as if showing off his power, and finally smiled contentedly.
This trip to London lasted for 7 days.
A month ago, when he heard that he and Guang would be appointed by the chess academy to come to London to participate in the European Go Conference, Liang felt a little surprised but also felt it was reasonable.
As expected of a young man, he is extremely adaptable. After a night's rest, he is completely unaffected by jet lag.
On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in London, Guang and Liang took the special car arranged by the organizing committee at the entrance of the hotel and went to the venue of the 52nd European Go Conference.
The European Go Conference, as the name suggests, is held in different European countries every year. It is the largest Go event in Europe every year and the most watched Go event in Europe. Previous conferences have been successfully held in Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, Romania and other countries. And attract more and more East Asian and Chinese, Japanese and Korean chess fans to participate.
The conference usually lasts for 2 weeks. Unlike other Go competitions, although the European Go Conference will have official competitions throughout, there will also be various fun games, such as: Go marathon, blitz competition, midnight competition, etc. [2].
The purpose of sending Taya and Hikari Shinto to participate this time is that on the one hand, the Board of Directors of the Ki-in Academy wants to increase exchanges between the Japanese Ki-in academy and other European chess players, so as to gain some inspiration for the future popularization of Go. On the other hand, Koichi Kato I also always keep in mind the promise to Liang, whenever there is an opportunity, I will allow these young players to go to a wider stage to communicate with more Go players from other countries, even if most of them are just amateur players.
When we arrived at the venue, it was only five past one in the afternoon.
There was still about an hour before the official opening ceremony, but the venue in downtown London was already full of voices.
This European conference, like previous ones, also lasted for two weeks.
The work of Liang Heguang is mainly concentrated in the first three days. During these three days, they will participate in the opening ceremony of the Go Conference, the Masters Tournament composed of professional chess players from all over the world, and act as on-site commentators for some Masters games. You can participate in various exciting and fun games with other amateur chess players.
Under the leadership of the staff of the organizing committee, they slowly walked into the conference site.
Looking around at the foreign chess players with completely different hair color and skin color from his own, while being curious, some inexplicable ominous premonition appeared in Guang's heart, as if something was about to happen.
When he was about to walk to the front of the stage, Guanghu heard someone behind him calling his name awkwardly in English: "Shinto chess player?"
Light's footsteps followed suit.
He turned his head uncertainly, and saw a white-haired man with a pot belly was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards him with an excited expression.
Guang seemed to be frightened by the white-haired man's posture, just watched the white-haired man walk in front of him without moving, and said excitedly: "It's really you, Jinto chess player!"
Although the white-haired man spoke English, fortunately, his sentences were simple and he could barely understand them.
He then nodded politely at the other party.
But after confirming Guang's identity and shaking hands with Guang, the white-haired man's speech speed seemed to be fast-forwarded by 3 times, and all the words flew towards the top of Guang's head.
Guang was in a fog, and kept looking at Lianghe staff for help.
Halfway through the conversation, Xu Shi noticed the awkward but polite smile on Guang's face. The white-haired man seemed to have finally realized something, and automatically slowed down his speech. This time, before the staff could speak, he stood beside Guang Liang took the initiative to act as a human translator.
The man in the orange POLO shirt in front of me is named Frank, an amateur Go player from the Netherlands[3], this time he happened to be free, so he specially brought a few of his students to sign up for the European Go Conference.
In order to give Liang enough time to translate, Frank deliberately slowed down his speech.
Guang has always been very bad at English, so the dialogue between the two people mostly relies on Liang to perform two-way translation, but when Frank speaks a word, not only Liang, but even Guang's face flashes a strange look.
He heard correctly, he just heard Frank say, Sai.
A foreign amateur chess player actually knows Zuo Wei?
Guang looked at Liang in disbelief, but got the most affirmative answer from the translation Liang gave him.
He heard correctly just now.
What Frank said was indeed Sai.
He turned out to be one of the players who played against Zuo Wei on the Internet Go.
Similarly, he also learned the news that Guang is Sai's closed disciple through Internet channels.The opportunity is rare, if possible, he hopes that on the occasion of this conference, he can have the honor of playing a game with Guang face to face.
After so many years, Guang is very grateful to be able to remember Zuo Wei.
What's more, the one who remembers Zuo Wei is a foreign chess player who is far away across the ocean.
Choosing a day is worse than bumping into the sun. Just looking at the time, I saw that it was still early for the opening ceremony. After obtaining the consent of the staff, Dang even chose a corner position and played a game of chess with Frank by guessing first.
A fierce battle in less than an hour.
The result of this round may have been doomed when the decision was made to guess first.
But for both sides of the game, it is no longer important.
It seems that after the wish has been fulfilled, the meaning is still unfinished.
After the game was over, Frank raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief before standing up and shaking his bare hands again.
And Hikari specifically asked Liang how to express himself in English, and then said word by word in English very solemnly: "To this day, thank you for remembering my teacher——Fujiwara Sakai."
Because there is still a chess game to prepare, after the game with Guang, Frank bid farewell to the two and returned to his student.
Perhaps it was this unexpected encounter with Frank that aroused Guang's full enthusiasm for the work of the conference.
Just when he was about to take Liang to the backstage of the venue to wait for the opening ceremony, a familiar voice came from his ear.
Just when the brain automatically recognized the corresponding person for this voice, Guang's scalp exploded, and his whole body became alert.
Slowly, slowly, he turned away.
Then, the moment he saw the person coming, Hikaru finally understood what was causing his inexplicable sense of uneasiness just now...
"A, lex?"
"Hi, long time no see, Shin, Fuji, Jun~"
The author has something to say:
Note [1]: There are passenger planes where the business class is distributed like this, and the Boeing 77W gray plane that Xiong took before is like this (of course, I just "see", because the price is sensitive, so I have never sat in the business class o (╥﹏╥)o), and because it is too special, so I remembered it for many years...
