The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

During the few days when the high fever persisted, Guang sometimes thought that his illness might be a blessing in disguise.

In these few days, he won an unprecedented victory against Taya, and despite the hard work, he won all the subsequent chess games, including the game with Kurata, as if all the good things happened to him.

However, when the fever receded and the cold gradually improved, Hikaru discovered to his dismay that some of his good luck was like a stone rolling down a hill, and it came to an end at once——Taya, who was almost obedient to him when he was sick, " Gone."

Although he looked the same as usual, as if he was really fulfilling his promise to him, he became distant from him.As if separated by an invisible and intangible membrane, he could feel Taya's mood swings, but he forcibly suppressed it under the undercurrent.He lives with himself every day, but there is no way to get close to him.

He also told Taya how he felt, but without exception, he was called back with "nothing".

This made Light feel uncomfortable.Based on his understanding of Taya, 80% of the reason why someone is so abnormal is his own fault.He tried to recall his performance in the past few days.

Not lying.

Did not steal the ramen.

Taya did not answer the phone.

Even if they had a short excursion with Hegu and the others a few days ago, they had reported in advance.

After scanning, no problems were found.

But he just felt something was wrong.In the past few years, his reflex arc hasn't changed much, except that whenever he encounters something related to Taya, his sensitivity will undergo a qualitative leap.

But before he figured out what it was, Taya's level of cold violence had reached a new level.

At home, unless he took the initiative to ask questions, Taya had almost zero communication with him, no matter in eyes or words.It was even better to meet someone in the chess academy. Someone seemed to have regained his high profile when he was just a student, and he ignored him as if he was nothing, as if he wanted to understand the meaning of "see no evil, speak no evil" implied by the three apes at Nikko Toshogu Shrine. , Don’t listen to indecent insults” were brought into full play.

Hikaru was stunned by Taya's 180-degree seamless transformation, and thought he had a good temper and endured him for three days.During these three days, as long as he was free, he would hang around him without talking.

"Taya, let's replay!"

"Taya, shall we play a game?"

"Taya, can I have a bowl of ramen?"

"Taya, I saw a very interesting manga."

"Taya, I won today's game again!"

"Taya?"

"Little teacher?"

"Bright?"

Helpless, after repeated battles and defeats, Guang's patience was finally exhausted on the fourth day.

When he came out of the game room this afternoon, he happened to bump into "Encounter Road Narrow", and couldn't even wait to get home, so Guang grabbed Liang and dragged him to the roof of the chess academy.

"Taya, has something happened recently?" Hikari asked as patiently as possible, suppressing his anger, "or... how did I offend you again?"

Liang didn't raise his head to look at him from the beginning to the end, but just replied lightly to the ground: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Before going to the rooftop, Guang had warned himself in his heart not to blow up hair, not to blow hair up.But Taya's tepid attitude still lived up to everyone's expectations and completely blasted him: "Is that why you don't want to talk to me, Taya?"

The sound of light was terribly cold.

Liang paused, and turned around slightly.

Guang only felt a whirlwind go straight to the top of his head: "I told you before, right? If you have anything to say, just say it! You hide everything in your heart, how do I know what you are thinking?!"

Liang also felt that something was wrong with him.He raised his eyes to look at Guang, wanting to die down: "Guang, let's go. It's windy on the roof."

Hikaru just stared at Taya, standing still.

Then he heard a barely audible sigh.

Liang's eyelids moved slightly, knowing that there were some words he couldn't avoid, and finally said: "You told me not to worry about you, I tried to do it. But what about you, Shindo?"

Hearing the last cry, Guang felt as if his body had been injected with a thousand catties of iron, and suddenly sank a little.

It's been a long time since Taya called himself that.There was a light and slow sound, but it was like an invisible wind blade, cutting a clear boundary between him and Taya.He is deliberately pushing himself away...

Seeing Taya smiled to himself, the smile was forced.

Liang touched the side of the light's face with the back of his hand: "Your fever has subsided, and your cold and cough are all gone, right?"

Guang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the question was a bit silly: "Almost."

"You're finally refreshed, and you can read comics, play games, and even go hiking again, don't you?"

The light feels vaguely wrong: "..."

"Do you remember what it was like to have a cold, a cough, a fever? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Why did the topic come back again?

Guang inexplicably felt his throat dry, and said incoherently: "That, Taya, I..."

Liang: "I don't remember it anymore, do I?"

Light:"……"

Liang: "You don't remember, but I remember." I remember your forehead was hot and fell into my arms, your face was flushed from coughing, and you were lying softly on the bed, as if I couldn't catch you...

Liang's chest heaved violently, and countless words rolled between his teeth, but in the end he was still reluctant to say a serious sentence: "Shito, when you were sick, I kept thinking in my mind, is it right for me to do this? When you go to the hospital, what food should I prepare for you, do you need to ask for leave from the chess academy for you, what should you do when I am not here, what should you do when the temperature rises..."

Liang paused for a moment, then showed a wry smile: "However, it seems that I am overthinking all these..."

Light:"……"

In Taya's seemingly emotionless words, Hikari heard all his uneasiness and fear completely.

During the time when he was sick, he was so depressed for so long that he had just subsided from the high fever, like a prisoner who had been released after serving his sentence. Days and nights with a high fever, the person who suffers the most is the lover who is always by his side.

When Taya looked at her that night when she was packing, she should have sensed what he was thinking.

Before going out, when Ta hesitated to speak, he should ask him what he wanted to say.

But he chose to ignore them all.

He found out early in the morning, but he packed all those clues and the heart together and threw them into the trash can.

He was selfish and ignorant beyond measure.

He unilaterally asked Taya not to worry about him, but how could he do it?When you like someone, even his eyes and breath can't wait to be stamped with your own exclusive mark, so how can you change it easily by saying "It doesn't matter if you are left out for a few days"?

Hikaru suddenly didn't dare to look into Taya's eyes.

He once told him no less than a basket of lies.

But until now, his brain has become muddy, his tongue is tied up, and he can't utter a word.

"Taya." He called out expectantly.

The person opposite ignored him.

normal.Guangxin said.Taya is a very tolerant person, and he is used to dying in his heart.A cold war against him may have been his highest level of protest.

Weighing his skin as thick as a wall, Guang swallowed nervously, grabbed Liang's wrist, and kissed it without saying anything.

He first pecked like a dragonfly.

Seeing that Taya didn't dodge, he boldly kissed his lover's lips again, lingering on his chapped lips little by little.

But Liang just stood there, letting him manipulate him indifferently.

"Taya, I was wrong. This is the last time. I will take care of myself, exercise hard, and eat less ramen. I promise. So, forgive me, okay?" Guang said, kissing the corner of his mouth again .

Liang seems to have finally regained consciousness.

He moved his fingers, and then he raised his hand and pressed Guang into his arms.

He kissed Qin Guang's forehead, and said with a doting smile: "Guang, this is the Chess Academy."

A sentence that was originally plain and straightforward, after several bends into Guang's ears, suddenly changed its taste.

The smile on Guang's face quickly disappeared.Holding Liang in his hand, the temperature in his eyes dropped again and again.

"What's wrong with Qiyuan? I just want to kiss you now. Are you afraid?" The words that almost blurted out were swallowed harshly.

He almost forgot that they were "different" from ordinary people.Their relationship is like a poison that grows in the nether world, and if it shines, it may be wiped out.

"Well. Let's go." Guang followed Liang's initial words calmly, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the rooftop.

Clearly knowing that Taya was thinking of himself, but there seemed to be countless snakes, insects and ants in Hikari's heart.He's really fed up with this kind of endless, invisible cover-up and hiding!

Although Guang didn't say what was in his heart, Ruliang immediately understood it from his eyes.

Just as he turned around, Liang grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into his arms.

Before Guang had time to say anything, Liang already supported the back of his head, leaned over and kissed him.

The light, in a small patch of shadow, opened his eyes wide.He saw Ryo slowly close his eyes, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly.

His body was hugged tightly by Liang, and his waist was bent back unconsciously.Clutching Liang's arm with one hand and wrapping around Liang's waist with the other, Guang couldn't help closing his eyes and kissing his lover back.

This time, it was finally no longer a one-man show alone.

As soon as it touched the lover's lips, the light was evoked with a chaotic throbbing.

He gently bit his lover's lips, biting his lips, and quickly inserted between Liang's teeth, entangled with the tip of his tongue.With no grievances in their hearts, the two of them kissed deeper and deeper, almost ignoring each other...

Breathing in each other's gaze gradually flattened.

Liang was so reluctant to let go, and after only a moment of separation, he hugged Guang into his arms again.

"Light, don't get sick anymore..."

His voice was so gentle, there seemed to be a hint of restrained pleading in the gentleness.

Feeling concerned, Guang hugged his lover back, leaned his head on Liang's chest, and nodded silently.

The wind on the roof blows continuously.

When passing by the two people, the dust on the ground was gently raised, brushing the yellow and green intersecting hairs of the two people, and finally carried with it the only remaining sliver of haze, blowing it into the blue sky together.
