Chapter 2157: The Fork in the Road of Life
"Okay, now tell me, why did you call me here?"
Looking at Kong Yinzi who stopped, Yushan Heren couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said.
"It's quieter here." Kong Yinzi just glanced at Yushan and others, then turned her gaze towards the direction of the fireworks show before speaking.
Yushan Heren blinked and found a stone to sit on.
The viewing angle here is also pretty good, but it is a bit farther than the pier.
Yushan Heren didn't believe Kong Yinzi's reason for being quiet. After all, the pier was actually very quiet. Except for a few silent fishermen, the rest were people they knew.
But in comparison, there are indeed fewer people here.
Except for a couple about twenty meters away, there was no one else there.
"Would you like to sit down and watch it? It's a little more comfortable." Yushan Heren spoke, his eyes sweeping over Kong Yinzi who was standing aside and looking a little nervous.
Upon hearing this, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but tremble. Yushan Heren actually took the initiative to invite her to sit down.
But when Kong Yinzi saw Yushan Heren, she knew that Yushan Heren was still the same.
Watching Yushan and others walk to another stone and sit down again, giving the original stone to herself, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but sigh and sat on the stone.
"I think we watched fireworks together last year." Kong Yin Zi whispered.
"Well, but last year it was a proper fireworks festival." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Last year's fireworks display was much grander than today's fireworks display.
However, Kong Ginko looked at Yushan Kazuto. Compared to watching the fireworks display, Kong Ginko still preferred this time of being alone with Yushan Kazuto.
"I don't know if there will be another chance next year." Kong Yinzi couldn't help but murmured as she looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
The two of them were getting busier and busier, and even today's fireworks show was only available for them after they finished their ranking battle early.
If tonight's game dragged on a little longer, the two would miss the fireworks show.
The two of them will be even busier next year, and Sora Ginko can't say whether she and Yushan Kazuto will be able to find some time to watch the fireworks show.
"There will definitely be one." Yushan Heren smiled and said.
Hearing this, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Heren, but she also laughed, which was rare.
"Then... let's make an agreement first." Kong Yinzi said.
Yushan Heren turned his head and glanced at Kong Yinzi: "Do you want to make another promise?"
Although Yushan Heren's proposal was very naive, Kong Yinzi stretched out her right hand as if possessed by a ghost.
Seeing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. It was he who made the suggestion, so it was difficult for him to go back on his word. He could only hook Kong Yinzi's little finger.
Feeling the warmth of Yushan Heren's little finger, the smile on Kong Yinzi's face became even brighter.
"Hey, I rarely see you smile." Looking at Kong Yinzi's spring-like smile, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"She looks so pretty when she smiles, but she doesn't smile much."
Listening to Yushan Heren's words, Kong Yinzi quickly withdrew her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Yushan Kazuto didn't notice what Sora Ginko did. His eyes shifted back to the fireworks display, and his body couldn't help but lean back.
"But it's true. You're under too much pressure. Many times, you will have to bear some unnecessary pressure." Yushan Heren sighed.
"Really?" Kong Yinzi did not refute Yushan Heren, but just asked.
"Sometimes, we can also seek help from other people." Yushan Heren smiled and said.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Heren. She wanted to rely on Yushan Heren, but Yushan Heren's rise was so fast that Kong Yinzi didn't feel much reality until now.
Besides, Yushan Heren is too busy now, so if I want to play shogi with Yushan Heren, I have to wait for the right opportunity.
However, Kong Yinzi was still somewhat moved by what Yushan Heren said.
"By the way, you are in the third year of junior high school now, right?" After thinking about it, Yushan Heren couldn't help but look at Kong Yinzi.
"Yeah." Kong Yin Zi replied in a low voice.
Although he hasn't been to school for a long time and has been studying at home, Kong Yinzi has not fallen behind in his studies.
Kong Yinzi would take part in every exam at school unless she really had no time, and her results in several exams were very good.
"Have you considered your future studies?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
After all, a person's energy is limited. When one decides to delve deeper into the field of shogi, it is actually difficult to have the energy to balance studies.
Although Kong Yinzi was able to maintain her performance, it was actually quite difficult to do so.
Junior high school professional chess players like Sora Ginko usually choose to give up their studies after finishing junior high school.
Occasionally, some people continue their studies, and they usually regard their studies as a relaxing activity besides playing shogi.
After all, continuing to go to school and being able to communicate with many peers is actually a good pastime for chess players who are always immersed in the world of shogi.
Of course, for those who treat study as a pastime, it is impossible for them to go to school every day. Going to school occasionally is already very unusual.
However, there are very few people who can balance their studies with playing shogi.
Hayama
It is the same as a person, but it obviously cannot be included in the scope of discussion as a case.
For most junior high school professional chess players, and even professional chess players in colleges and universities, this is usually the crossroads of life choices.
Upon hearing this, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but blink slightly.
The problem that Yushan Kazuto mentioned is actually quite realistic.
Kong Yinzi had thought about this problem before, but in the end she put it aside temporarily on the grounds that there was still a lot of time.
But in reality, time is already very tight.
After all, if you want to go to college, you still have to prepare in advance.
Just like if you want to participate in a shogi competition, you must study and learn shogi carefully before the competition.
The same goes for entrance exams, which require even more preparation and take longer than a shogi match.
If you don't make a decision now, then in the end, you will just have to go with the flow.
Kong Yinzi didn't want to become a person who went with the crowd. Yushan Heren's question had woken her up. Now it was almost time to make a decision.
She was definitely unwilling to give up on shogi.
It can be said that 80% of her life was spent on shogi.
Before Yushan Kazuto appeared, shogi could be said to have occupied Sora Ginko's entire mind.
However, after Yushan Heren appeared, Kong Yinzi felt that something in her heart seemed to be growing and expanding, and even squeezing out the position of shogi.
Chapter 2158 Ending
However, if she really devotes all her energy to shogi, Sora Ginko feels that she and Yuyama Kazuto will drift further and further apart in the future.
By now, Kong Yinzi had already realized that Yushan Kazuto was not like her, who was solely focused on shogi.
For Kazuto Hayama, his future is diverse. Whether he chooses to play professional shogi, play professional football, or go into any other industry, his future is bright.
The future of Yushan and others depends only on his own choices.
Once the opponent does not choose to play chess, the future of both parties will seem to be at a fork in the road.
Perhaps when both sides stop for a while, there will be some intersection between them, or perhaps such intersection will not occur at all.
It’s like childhood friends who may not keep in touch when they grow up, and the kite string in their hands broke.
"I still want to... give it a try."
The fireworks in front of her were still brilliant, but Kong Yinzi's vision was a little blurred.
"But if that happens, the pressure on you will be even greater." Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
When it comes to studying, there is not much that Yushan Kazuto can do to help Sora Ginko.
Even if Yushan Kazuto could help Kong Ginko summarize the study materials and give him some pointers on test-taking techniques.
But these things, in the final analysis, must be based on a certain knowledge foundation.
As for knowledge accumulation, Yushan Heren really can't help much.
Unless a true brain-computer interface is developed that can download data directly into the brain, it would be useless.
Therefore, if Kong Yinzi decides to continue her studies, she will inevitably need to spend more time on studying.
However, Yushan Kazuto does not think that Sora Ginko will reduce the time she spends on shogi, so the time for studying must be drawn out from other places.
However, Kong Ginko's schedule and pressure are already very heavy. Add to that the burden of schoolwork, Yushan Kazuto can't help but worry about Kong Ginko's health.
Although Ye Mi has cured Kong Yinzi's heart disease, Kong Yinzi's body is still a little weaker than a normal person.
Under the dual pressure of shogi and studies, Yushan Kazuto was really worried that Sora Ginko might fall ill again.
He looked at Kong Yinzi, who just blinked and said, "I'll adjust it."
Although Kong Yinzi's tone was not firm, Yushan Heren knew that this was Kong Yinzi's final decision.
Perhaps in the future, Kong Yinzi will make some choices after realizing that it is difficult to make progress in both at the same time, but now Kong Yinzi has made up his mind.
"In fact, you can also take the special recruitment route." Yushan Heren said.
Japanese schools have special recruitment quotas for talented chess players and talented athletes.
However, each school has different special recruitment requirements and targets different students.
Some schools are willing to recruit special chess players, but some schools do not have vacancies.
According to Sora Ginko's understanding, at least the private school where Hayama Kazuto attends, Toyonosaki Academy, does not have special recruitment quotas for chess players.
This can be seen from the clubs in Toyonosaki. There is no Go club or Shogi club in the private Toyonosaki Academy.
If Sora Ginko is good at sports, Fengnosaki has quite a few places.
However, even though Kong Yinzi's body could not be considered frail, it was certainly not in good condition. Not to mention being good at sports, she would probably have to take leave even for physical education classes to avoid any accidents.
In other words, if Sora Ginko wants to attend the private Toyonosaki Academy, the only option is to take the entrance exam.
"I'll consider it." Looking up at Hanabi, Sora Ginko replied.
She still didn't tell Yushan Kazuto her true thoughts. In fact, she had already chosen a path and made up her mind to follow it unswervingly.
"Okay then." Yushan Heren blinked slightly and looked at Kong Yinzi.
"By the way, do you have time on Monday?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren asked.
"Monday?" Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Heren.
There is no arrangement at the chess academy for next Monday, but it is the day for the game between Sora Ginko, Hinazuru Ai, and Yashagami Teni.
However, if anything happens between Yushan and others, things like the game day can be temporarily postponed.
"Well, Monday afternoon, around three or four o'clock?" Yushan Heren blinked and said.
It was Monday, the last day of summer vacation, and Yushan Kazuto needed to send Shirasaki Hana back to Chiba. By the time they returned to Tokyo, it was almost three or four in the afternoon.
Hearing this, Kong Yinzi nodded. If it was the whole day on Monday, she would need to postpone the game day. However, since it was only after three or four in the afternoon, she only needed to end the game practice a little earlier.
"Then I'll pick you up from Uncle Qingtaki's place on Monday afternoon," said Yushan Kazuto.
Kong Yin Zi couldn't help but blink slightly and responded.
It's not common for Yushan to take the initiative to make an appointment with someone.
However, if Kong Yinzi knew Yushan and others' purpose, she probably wouldn't be so shy.
Since being discharged from the hospital, Kong Yinzi has basically not gone to the hospital for a physical checkup.
It happened that on Monday, Yushan and his men were going to Ye Mi's place to check on the training status of the two robotic arms. They could also take Kong Yin Zi with them to have a physical check-up.
Flowers in the sky
The fire suddenly became bigger, and Yushan Kazuto knew that tonight's fireworks display should be coming to an end.
"Let's go back, the fireworks show is about to end." Looking at the fireworks blooming in the sky, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling a little emotional.
Why is this splendor always so short-lived?
