The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

The trust between people is like a net that can be broken by blowing bullets. It takes years of accumulation to weave it, but it takes little effort for cracks to appear.

But just because he knew that person and knew that it was not easy to build trust, Guang chose to cherish it.Just like Taya's attitude towards "Someday", if you don't tell, I won't ask.[-]% trust, complete delivery.

However, a person's change is often obsessed by the authorities and clear to the bystanders.

"Shinto, have you gotten too close to Taya lately?"

In the restaurant at noon the next day, He Gu's insinuation caused a storm in Guang's heart.Are they... that obvious?

Maybe it's because I stayed with someone for too long, so that my words and deeds were contaminated with that person's breath.One mouthful is his usual alienated and cold tone: "Why do you ask that?"

Hearing the guard in Shinto's words, Kazuya ravaged his hair, as if he was worried about why.After finally ending the ideological struggle, he opened his schoolbag and spread out a magazine he found in front of Guang.

"This is an entertainment magazine. Although I think it's too much to write like this, but it has a high circulation, and..." He Gu paused, "Moreover, some of the news reported on it are generally not groundless .You'd better know about it."

Even with He Gu's warning first, the moment the huge headline suddenly hit Guangyan's eyes, it was still like a blow to the head, smashing the sky and spinning the sky.There seems to be a reasonable explanation for Taya's abnormal behavior yesterday, and the strange look from the staff of the sales department on the first floor when he came to the chess academy today.I had to cheer myself up to focus all my attention on the thin two pages of paper.

When Guang glanced at He Gu's spread of articles, he felt a bone-chilling chill flowing through his limbs, as if it wanted to seal all his senses.

Involuntarily pinching the drink cup in his hand, Guang quickly weighed the invisible sideline in his mind, and then said: "Taya and I... are sharing a house now."

He Gu looked at the light, as if he wanted to tell the truth from his eyes: "So, the photos taken in the report are not post-processing?"

Looking at the photos taken in the magazine, he and Taya entered the apartment together, and the photos of them looking at each other across the circle of reporters, nodded slowly.At the same time, he was thinking in his heart how much the door of "truth" should be opened to He Gu to be considered "just right".

In his heart, He Gu is not only his contemporaries, but also his best friend, and even his guide when he became a student.When he first entered the second group, if he hadn't thrown an olive branch to himself, if he hadn't proposed to go to the Go club during the professional chess player exam, perhaps he would not have been able to enter the world of professional chess players until now.Those who helped him on his journey to Go are worthy of his memory and gratitude.What's more, he really needs an outlet to confide in now.

Guang looked down at the hamburger in his hand, and said carefully, "He Gu, what do you think... what is it like to like someone?"

He Gu was stunned for a moment, grabbed two French fries and stuffed them into his mouth. A person's face flashed in his mind: "I like someone, and I just want to be with her all the time. I was so angry at her last second, If there is something interesting in the next second, I still want to share it with her. Even if we do boring things together, I still think it is a kind of enjoyment." ——Although she is often annoyed by her carelessly.

"Then..." Guang gritted his teeth, and finally looked up at his friend, "If you see two people of the same sex walking hand in hand and walking together intimately on the street, you will feel..." His throat moved slightly, as if It took all my strength to spit out the word, "Is it disgusting?"

He Gu didn't expect that Shinto would suddenly ask this question.But with the foreshadowing of the previous question, what Shinto wanted to ask was already very clear.He seemed to vaguely know what Shinto was trying to imply, so he closed his eyes and seriously imagined it in his mind.

Although Hegu didn't speak, seeing his brows furrowed tightly and an unnatural expression across his face, Guang understood everything in his heart.

Without waiting for Hegu's answer, he stuffed the hamburger into his mouth pretending to be relaxed: "It's okay if you don't answer, I'm just asking casually."

Also.

Most people in the world are actually "Hegu".

"It's getting late, shall we go?"

He crumpled up the finished hamburger wrapping paper and threw it into the dinner plate. Guang Guang picked up the dinner plate and was about to get up and leave, but He Gu replied behind his back: "Although it may feel strange, but I understand. Like a person himself, Not wrong."

Guang's footsteps paused slightly, with gratitude in his heart, but he only replied perfunctorily: "I see (そうか)..."

It may be because the reflex arc is too thick and long. Although I was shocked when I first saw that article, Hikari's reaction was quite calm.The game in the afternoon was not affected by this incident at all, and the opponent was defeated cleanly.But once he walked out of the chess academy and had time to be alone, he just connected all the details in his mind and went through them. In an instant, uneasiness, fear, and anger rushed towards him like mountains and seas, blowing him into a walking powder keg.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Taya: "Work is over, go home immediately! Let's talk, talk, talk!"

After sending the message, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a large-scale bookstore in my sight. I didn't know what to think of, and walked in quickly.Then, following the signs, I walked to the social science series that I had never stopped before...

"Taya..."

Back home, Hikari handed the magazine borrowed from Kazuya to Taya calmly.

On the title of the article, it was written impressively: What is the real relationship between Ryo Taya and Hikari Shinto?The unknown secret of the chess twin stars.

Liang glanced lightly, and smiled instead of anger: "It's a good shot, but it's a pity that it's not clear enough."

Taya's reaction made Hikari's heart slightly startled, and the color of his eyes looking at the magazine seemed to be getting darker and darker as a stroke of thick ink was blotted out in the clear pond.

The article starts with chess instruction for public welfare, and then involves the fact that the initiator of this event is Hikari Ido, and then sorts out the historical origins of Mitsu Imito and Ryo Toya, two teenagers of similar age, who regard each other as rivals. A few more meaningful photos were used to prove it, and in the end, a seemingly casual stroke brought out the "extraordinary" guess about the relationship between the two.

As the saying goes, "the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention".

The subtlety of the whole article is that the core content of the writer is still saying that the twin stars in the chess world are in the disaster area, and they will work together to create a public welfare chess instruction activity.However, the presentation of a large amount of "other" information in the article has become a word game worthy of scrutiny in the eyes of the troublemakers.Coupled with enough eye-catching titles and highly inductive photos, it may not be easy not to arouse the associations of people who eat melons.

I checked this magazine afterwards.As Hegu said, although this magazine focuses on entertainment news, it has always had a large number of readers and its sales volume has always been at the forefront of similar magazines by virtue of the high convincingness of its published content.

The question is, why does an entertainment magazine focus on a Go player who is irrelevant?Taya has never disclosed to the media anything about his discussion of the charity chess game with him, so who are the "informed people" mentioned in the article?

Thinking carefully and fearing, Guang's back could not help but a fine layer of cold sweat formed.

Looking at the pale lover, Liang sighed inwardly, stretched out his hand to close the magazine, and tried to brush off the topic: "I'll take care of this matter. You don't have to worry."

But this sentence is like a fuse, blasting away all the emotions that Guang had tried to restrain before: "Can you handle it? How are you going to handle it? Why did you think of 'you' to handle it when something happened?" ?! Why do you never ask 'me'?! In your eyes, what am I to you?!"

In fact, the most hurtful thing is never "handling alone", but "being informed" by others after the incident.

I want to take responsibility with you, think of ways together, and want to be the person standing by your side, instead of being blindly protected by you, like a princess in a tower who is ignorant of the world.Taya, why don't you understand?

That night, like a silent protester, Guang moved the quilt back to his room.But Liang just remained silent from the beginning to the end, without obstructing, nor did he say a word of excuse for himself.

In the room this night, the atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hardly stand up straight when walking in it.

Although it didn't rise to the point of arguing in the end, after this night, both of them knew clearly that a rift had already formed between them...

Sometimes, with just a piece of paper, a pen, and a cable, you have the power to tell lies and turn all beings upside down.

Not only the paper media, but the rumors about Liang Guang and the two soon continued to ferment on the major SNS social platforms of the Internet through the virtual channel intertwined with 0 and 1.Gradually concentrated to form three different voices colliding with each other.

One voice defended the two, arguing that public welfare activities organized out of good intentions were hyped up without authorization, which violated the professional ethics that writers should have.

A voice with the attitude of "nothing to do with oneself, hang on high", thinking that since this article can be published on the street, it must have a certain degree of authenticity.Just wait and see until things get cloudy.

The last voice, which is currently the highest among the three views, clearly expresses its affirmation of the chess skills of the two chess players Ryo Taya and Hito Shinto, and expresses that they will unconditionally give them support and respect—regardless of the "facts" Why exactly.What's more, he directly opened a discussion post about Liangguang CP on the Internet, unscrupulously flirting with all kinds of things between the two.Overnight, countless "professional analysts" exploded.

But no matter what kind of voice, it undoubtedly intensified the heat of this incident.Soon, the Nippon Chess Council was alarmed.

Fortunately, even though there are some people in the chess academy who are quite critical, due to the lingering influence of Taya Yukihiro and the weak state of the current sluggish Japanese Go, the chess academy has not suspended the chess game schedule of the two, but However, at the request of the organizers, some chess coaching activities that have been arranged have been temporarily replaced with chess players.

As for the parents of both parties.Although Taya Yukihiro had heard the rumors, he didn't know whether he knew about Liang Guang's co-renting beforehand, or he had other thoughts, so he didn't comment on the matter.Kwang's parents don't even know about this matter because they are usually deaf to entertainment magazines.Only friends who were familiar with Guangguang sent intermittent text messages of concern or comfort.But these text messages are just scratching the surface, a drop in the bucket.

What people want to gain, they must lose something.

Guang naturally understands this truth, and this incident is just an "outpost" and there is no way to talk about "loss".

But when he forced himself to ignore the colored glasses thrown at him by the crowd around him, forced himself to accept that his private affairs were disclosed on the Internet again and again, and forced himself to continue to build a strong enough psychological defense line from it, when he saw the overwhelming public opinion, it seemed like When a sharp blade was stabbed in front of his eyes through the screen, the hand that slid the mouse still trembled unconsciously.

——Taya is such a man! !Resolutely stand on Bright CP!

——No wonder I always feel that there is an indescribable ambiguity between the two of them, and they are very good together~

——Dead gay | Dude, pervert! ! !

——The existence of people like them is simply a defilement of Go! !

——When I think that I still liked them before, I really want to dig out this dark history...

……

He looked so hard that he didn't notice Taya's approach behind him.

His eyes were covered by Liang from behind, and he could smell the pleasant scent of body wash on the man.

He heard the man say behind him: "Light, don't look."

The hand holding the mouse seemed to be glued to it, and it didn't move away for a long time.He roughly tore off the hand that was blocking his view.

Clearly aware of all the good intentions of that person, but when the power of the computer was forcibly cut off in front of him, and the switch of reason seemed to be pulled at the same time, Hikaru shouted at Toya almost furiously: "Why do you do this?! "

Bright eyes looked at the exasperated lover fiercely, and he didn't feel his breathing became heavy.The hands hanging by the side of the body were slightly bent, rushing to the anger above the head, and after a few seconds, they were suppressed silently and forcefully.

"Shinto, is 'our relationship discovered' so scary to you?"

The moment his gaze touched Taya, Hikaru quickly looked away.

He suddenly didn't dare to look into Taya's eyes.I was afraid that when I looked up, I would see his extremely disappointed expression.Taya's words were like a needle piercing his heart.In the reaction to this matter, I was like a frightened bird, as soon as there was a turmoil, everything would turn into a war.After so many years, I haven't made any progress...

"Shinto, I..."

"...Get out of here!! Get out!!!"

A strong sense of frustration welled up in his heart, and before Taya could finish speaking, Hikari pushed him out of the room and closed the door heavily.

Locking the door from the inside, Guang leaned against the door as if he was out of strength.

The wooden door panel, which is only 4 cm thick, looks like a clear border between Chu River and Han, blocking the idea of ​​the light not passing to the other party at both ends of the gully.
