The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

Akiko arrived at nearly 6:[-] in the evening.

When she walked into the ward, Guang had just wrung out a hot towel and was about to wipe his face for him.

During the whole process, neither of them said a word.

Liang sat upright like a statue, with a frighteningly indifferent expression. As soon as Guang stretched out his hand, he turned his head to the side rather uncooperatively.

In the entire ward, the air was so stagnant as if it had been evacuated, making it hard to breathe.

Ming Zi knew Xiao Liang well.

Tightly pursed lips, downcast eyes, abnormal silence, these are all Xiao Liang's performances when he is extremely angry, but there is always an indescribable bond between the two seemingly stalemate.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Guang turned around, and when he saw Mrs. Mingzi, his body froze slightly, and then he bowed to greet her.

Akiko also bowed towards the light: "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience today, Shinto-kun." Then she walked quickly to the hospital bed.

Like a subconscious reaction, Hikaru unconsciously took a step back when Akiko approached.

Sitting down beside Liang's hospital bed, Akiko touched Liang's head and asked anxiously, "How do you feel now? Is there any other discomfort?"

Liang shook his head lightly, then smiled and held Ming Zi's hand: "I'm fine, I'm fine." He glanced at him and asked again: "It's mother, why are you here?"

Mingzi rubbed the back of Liang's hand distressedly: "Your child is already hospitalized, can I not come?"

"Look, am I fine?"

Liang comforted him softly, and while talking, he paid attention to the expression on Guang's face.

Aware of Liang's gaze, Akiko turned her head and looked behind her. When she saw that Guang was still holding the towel, she was standing by the side at a loss,

There was a trace of apology in his eyes.

She got up quickly and took the towel in her bare hand: "Jinto-kun, you've been tired all day, go back and rest early, I'll just come here." Saying that, she turned around and rubbed the cooled towel.

Her tone was still gentle, but standing by the hospital bed at this moment, it was like a high wall, silently blocking the middle between light and light.

Light froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while.

In a moment of embarrassment, he asked without words: "Have you eaten yet?"

Mingzi turned his back to him and said, "I'm not hungry." Then he asked Liang softly, "I'll wipe you off later, okay?"

Bright spot nodded, but his eyes kept looking at the light.

He wanted to interrupt Ming Zi's words several times, but Ming Zi didn't give him a chance.

Seeing that Liang wanted to say something for him, Guang just shook his head slightly at him, then found an excuse, and quietly backed out.

He Gu and Yi Jiao were not seen at the door of the ward, just as Guang Guang wanted to contact them, he saw the two of them coming from the elevator, carrying two big bags of things in their hands.

He Guzheng and Yijiao were talking, and when they saw the light, their footsteps paused slightly.

"What's the matter?" He asked Yijiao.

Yijiao didn't answer, just quickened his pace and walked towards the light.

When the two approached, Guang Ying stepped forward to take the plastic bags from their hands, as if seeing their doubts, smiled and said, "I came out by myself."

Hegu and Yijiao looked at each other for a moment, although Guang didn't say it clearly, but from his expression, he already guessed a thing or two.

They wanted to stay with Guang for a while longer, but they were "driven" back without saying a few words.

They have already been with me all day, so I really shouldn't bother them any more.

There are no seats in the corridors of the inpatient department.

Guang just stood at the door of Liang's ward with two big bags of food. The nurse on duty passed by him several times and looked up at him suspiciously.

The third time, I finally couldn't hold back, and pointed out a clear way for him: "There are several rows of seats for family members to rest next to the elevator entrance. You can sit there and wait. The situation here can be seen there." See."

Guang gratefully thanked the nurse, his eyes happened to fall on the plastic bag in his hand, and he handed it over.

The nurse was embarrassed to accept it at first, but after several rejections, she accepted it.

Although he said thank you, he didn't take any action until he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he dragged himself to the blue chair next to the elevator.

It's all his fault that he failed to take good care of Liang.

Mrs. Mingzi would resist her, and Guang knew it in her heart.

She didn't want to see herself, and he understood.

But there are some things that he still wants to say to Mrs. Mingzi alone, in person, and in person at the first time.

Even doing so seems a bit self-defeating.

The waiting time is a bit too long.

What was more tormenting than waiting was that the person he wanted to see was clearly separated by a few walls, but he couldn't stay by his side—although Liang might not need his protection.

The nerves have been in a state of high tension for a long time, and I haven't eaten all day, so I feel a little overdrawn in light physical strength.

When the sleepiness was getting stronger, Guang pinched his thigh hard, and managed to maintain his sanity.

In the hospital at night, the cold light of incandescent lamps in the corridor made the surroundings more silent and cold.

I don't know how long I have been waiting.

He held the phone tightly in his hand, but he didn't dare to send a message to that familiar number, let alone make a call.

He just sat there stupidly, like a decoration that no one cares about, his eyes are only fixed on the small square inch not far away.

The door was obviously some distance away, but it seemed to be zooming in and out little by little with the passage of time, and then occupying his entire field of vision.

Guang clearly felt that the temperature of his whole body was slowly dropping, and his mind was gradually drifting away, but the alarm bell hanging above his head always reminded him to be awake and strong.

When he finally saw that figure in the corridor, he walked up to Ming Zi almost at a running speed: "Can I have a few words with you?"

Akiko seemed taken aback when she saw the light.

Seeing that Mingzi didn't speak, he just bit his lips and said, "I'll just borrow a few minutes of your time."

Follow Akiko all the way to the end of the corridor.

In the corner, after Guang stood still, he bowed deeply to Mrs. Mingzi: "I'm very sorry, I couldn't take good care of Taya!"

"Shindo-kun, what are you doing? Get up!" Akiko was startled for a few seconds as if frightened, and then tried to help Hikari up.

However, after trying several times, Guang still kept his body extremely low, as if time was frozen, and he didn't raise his head for a long time.

This situation...

Having reached this point, what else can I say?

Akiko thought to herself.

Although Xiaoliang has been very assertive since he was a child, he doesn't need to worry about it, but he is the child he always cherishes and loves in his heart.

Up to now, although reason tells Akiko that this is not Shindo's fault, emotionally, she still can't help but feel harsh.

Why wasn't it discovered sooner?

Why keep procrastinating?

Don't you get along day and night?

how can you...

However, perhaps because of her personality for a long time, no matter how resentful Mingzi was, her voice always had a bit of forbearance and restraint.

Holding Hikari's shoulders, she said again: "Shinto-kun, please raise your head!"

But the young man in front of him remained motionless.

Akiko's patience suddenly ran out.

She couldn't help raising her voice slightly, and she couldn't help but increase her strength in holding Hikari's hands: "Shinto-kun!"

This time, the light finally looked up.

But the moment he touched Ming Zi's eyes, he immediately had the thought of escaping.

He didn't dare to look into Mrs. Mingzi's eyes, for fear of seeing too clearly disappointment and anger in her eyes.

But he still forced himself to look back.

"Sorry, Shinto-kun." Akiko said, "You've been tired all day too, can you please... go back first?"

There was no expected reproach, not even a soft whisper that bordered on pleading.

Light's heart sank inch by inch.

He would rather Mrs. Mingzi scold him and beat him than to be "invited" to leave the hospital by her in such a polite but distant way.

He knew that this was Madam Mingzi's maximum tolerance.

"I...understood." There was no room for turning back, Guang lowered his eyes silently, "I will come back tomorrow morning."

Seeing Guang's distraught appearance, Ming Zi suddenly couldn't bear it.

She couldn't help wondering if her tone just now was too strong.

Just when Guang was about to turn around, Akiko called him to stop.

"Shinto-kun," Akiko Chaoguang smiled, and said as softly as possible, "Thank you today, thank you very much."

Looking at Akiko, Guang only slightly shook his head.

"It's what I should do," he said.

"In addition, you paid for Xiaoliang's admission fee today, right?" Mingzi asked again, "Please also let me know your bank account number, and I will transfer all the fees to your bank/bank/card tomorrow."

His already pale complexion finally turned completely pale after these words.

He gave a final nod to Akiko, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

He could feel Mrs. Akiko looking at him, just like he had watched Kazuya and Yijiao leave before.

He ordered himself to straighten his back so that his back would look stronger and more reliable.

However, the moment the elevator doors closed, all the energy in his naked body seemed to be withdrawn suddenly, and his whole body slammed heavily against the side wall of the car.

He doesn't need "thank you", let alone "pay back" from Mrs. Mingzi.

He just wants to be by Liang's side, that's all he wants.

But now, even such a small wish has become a luxury.

From nine in the morning to nine in the evening.

Twelve hours later, when I was next to the busy road again, my light suddenly felt a little dazed.

Where should he go?he thinks.

Back to the rental apartment?But there is no taya;

Are you going home?But he can't guarantee that he can control his emotions after returning home.

Guang stood at the entrance of the hospital blankly for 5 minutes, and finally picked up his steps and walked the way he had come.

It seemed that he had taken the tram, or the subway. When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the apartment he shared with Taya.

After opening the door and entering the room, the light did not turn on the light immediately.

It was in this darkness that he remembered again what Liang called himself in the phone's address book.

——When waiting for Liang to wake up, when waiting for Mrs. Mingzi to come out, he always couldn't help but think of that address over and over again.So much so that, as soon as I think of that word, it seems to bring a certain temperature.

If it weren't for the emergency this time, Guang might never have checked Liang's phone.

When looking for the contact information of Taya and his wife, he first searched Ryo's recent call records.

The contact names set in this person's phone address book are as rigorous and rigid as his own: Mr. Hiroyuki Ashihara, Mr. Seiji Ogata, Mr. Koichi Kato...

In the recent call log, there is only one contact person whose name is written "home" out of place.

There is only one word, home.

Unexpectedly, Liang has had many phone calls with "Jia" recently.

Guangzheng laughed at him secretly, but he didn't expect that Taya still had the problem of loving home. When he clicked in and prepared to dial, his hand paused slightly, and it actually contained his mobile phone number.

He always said that Liang was his back wall.

So, when is it again.

Liang, already considered him home.
