The chair I sat down on casually when I received the call, the place where it connects to my body has been warmed by my body.

"Isn't there a training camp this week? Go to the Go Dojo affiliated with Nihon Ki-in. Although you're only staying for a few days, remember to bring some extra clothes. Last time you went to Otaru, you wore too thin. You want to look good without conflicting with keeping warm."

The time to hand in the mobile phone is getting closer, and the conversation between Zero and me has changed from casual nonsense to a warm exhortation before the end of the conversation.

But what he said gave me a headache.

Last week he asked me if I had time to go to Otaru. It seemed that I had heard that I had a training camp before. If there was a conflict, I would go at another time.Without hesitation, I lied and told him that the aforementioned bootcamp had been moved to this week, which was fine.

"I know. The training camp is in Tokyo. It doesn't matter if you go home to get clothes when you feel cold. Don't worry about me."

In fact, the training camp that Shirakawa, the teacher in charge of the club, invited professional chess players from the Nippon Ki Academy to guide us had already ended when Zero and I were traveling in Otaru.

"Also, don't let me just stay at home and not exercise all day without looking for you. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you this Christmas. After the training, you probably have the autumn vacation. I will go home to find you then of."

Even if Zero couldn't see it, I still nodded desperately.

"I know everything. Zero, you should also pay attention to your body. Don't train too hard. You are still growing your body. Excessive exercise is not good."

"Zero, the instructor is coming!" Senior Zhu Fu reminded Zero loudly, and then joked with Zero with a voice that I thought I couldn't hear. "Still growing up"

This group of senior ghosts!

Zero and I chose to ignore it.

"If the instructor is coming, I will hang up first."

I reluctantly bid farewell to Zero.

"Yeah." He slowed down his voice. "Take care of yourself, Huali."

Zero's soft breath came through the phone, and my hand was placed on the red sign that ended the call, and I couldn't press it down.

We've been like this for a while, probably because there's really no way to procrastinate, Zero reminded me again.

"Pear."

I suddenly wanted to complain about his so, so many training camps, but I endured it.He hung up the phone silently.

I completely lost the good mood I had just talked with my boyfriend on the phone. What can I do if my boyfriend is a hard worker who is busy with his studies.This Christmas, I'll just watch the dvd that I recorded last year with Zero when I spent Christmas for the first time at home.

Dejectedly, I locked the door of the studio, and I dragged my feet towards the classroom.

In addition to the sports club on the campus, there are basically no students in the teaching building. When I walked to the door of the classroom lazily, I saw someone I didn't expect.

"Last week, I heard that the teacher of Bingdi paid a lot of money to let students go to the chess academy for training, so I went to have a look." The brown-haired girl was wearing the school uniform of a foreign school, standing at the door of my classroom. "In the end, you didn't go, Kubo-senpai, have you given up Go completely?"

This beautiful girl is named Nase Asuki, and even in the group of Nihon Ki-in students who gather strong players, she is still a group of strengths.

"Have you completely given up on being a professional chess player?"

Nase continued to question.

The so-called college students are a group of people who aim to be professional chess players since they were young, and practice in Nihon Ki-in.It is lower than that of professional chess players, but much higher than that of amateurs.I was able to serve as a teacher's assistant in the powerful Bingdi because I relied on my strength as a student. I didn't participate in the competition between students because the teacher was considerate of me as a student.

"Asuka, I still really want to be a professional chess player." Ignoring the surprise that flashed in Nase's eyes, I continued. "However, the facts have proved that there is a talent gap between me and those people, and I cannot become a professional chess player."

Smiling, I held Nase's hand and led her into the classroom.

"I'm very happy now. I just need to stay at home on my rest day, and I have a lot of time to go out and play."

Nase waved me away, trembling with anger.

"Isn't that just doing nothing?"

Her sharpness left me speechless and stabbed me.

"What's wrong with doing nothing! People at this age should be doing nothing! Everyone is very happy and doesn't have to do anything. I still go to a private school with a university department. I don't have to worry about going to school at all. I just need to wait and see. It’s easy to go to college, and just rely on your diploma to find an easy job.”

My answer seemed to disappoint Nase completely, and she took out a keychain of black and white pawns from her pocket.

"This is something that Kubo-senpai gave me to encourage me when I didn't get promoted to the first group and wanted to give up."

There was something in her clear eyes that I couldn't look at.

"At that time, Kubo-senpai told me that giving up is the easiest, and you can do it at any time, so let's persevere first, just for the sake of what you really like."

Nase handed me the key chain, but I refused to pick it up, so she had to take my hand and put the key chain in.

"Last year, you and Senior Yijiao quit the academy together because you failed the vocational exam. I also want to tell you that Senior Yijiao has passed the vocational exam this year."

After seeing Nase off, I picked up my schoolbag and walked home.

The reason why I came into contact with Go is because Xiang Zhizi, the old-fashioned Xiang Zhizi, after the decline of the Kubo family (I personally tend to never rise), is more rigid in various activities with style. Go is very popular with her as an after-school activity to cultivate children's etiquette favor.

When I was in elementary school, the teacher in the remedial class said that my strength was already good, and suggested that Tomoko Kawasaki should send me to the college for examination.

The pleasantly surprised Tomoko began to invite the teacher to come to the house, and I was admitted to the academy with the help of money.

Then my biological mother passed away, and we moved out of the big house. Katoko, who lost her daughter, lost her previous victories, and no longer forced me to have a chess record at hand at all times.

I started my long time as a college student in a daze, and sent away batch after batch of people. Every year, some people become professional chess players, and every year some people give up.From the careful encouragement at the beginning to the speechless after seeing me fail again last year, the teachers of the Chess Academy couldn’t comfort me no matter what they said.

"If things go on like this, even if she is admitted as a professional chess player, it will take a long time for Huali to earn the annual college student fee and the professional chess player examination fee."

Xiang Zhizi has long forgotten the ardent expectations she had for me when she was a child, and teased me while watching red and white during the New Year last year.

"If that's the case, then stop learning Go."

I answered her with a smile.

The author has something to say: There are double updates today, wait for me.

Baby Baibai gave me a lot of encouragement and big red envelopes yesterday, I felt the love and broke out!
