"If you stay in this place, it won't be a long-term thing after all. If that person is gone, mom won't come. You're leaving now, isn't it a good thing?"

There was a dull feeling in his heart, Xiangta always felt that he was sorry for his younger brother by leaving like this, but he didn't know how to speak.

"You're all gone, I feel a lot more relaxed. If I'm alone, no matter what I do, it will be a lot easier. Even if I take a girl home, no one will care. It's great!"

Listening to Xiaosan's words, Xiangta, who was lying on the bed, felt a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but sneered.

"At what age are you able to take girls home? Don't talk big."

"Anyway, I'm still very popular with girls in school. Don't think that I, like you, don't have a girlfriend until now."

"Tsk."

Xiangta clicked his lips, but he didn't know how to refute his younger brother, because he really didn't have a girlfriend until now.

"Sorry."

"fine."

As if it was the final conclusion, after Xiangta said that sorry, Xiaosan just smiled faintly, and then the two ended their conversation...

Shota left much sooner than expected.

After talking with Xiaosan that night, he also talked about it with that irresponsible mother in a few days. At the beginning, the woman who was away from home all day was quite opposed.

Maybe it's because I often go out and don't go home, no one to take care of Xiaosan, or maybe it's because I hope someone can handle all the family affairs for her, so I'm quite emotional.

But Xiaosan's elder brother didn't take a step back either, he had reached the limit of his patience, and his attitude seemed quite persistent, but he didn't argue with his mother.

Finally, after half a month, Xiaosan's older brother, Xiangta, still left the house.

"this is for you."

On the last day of leaving the house, Xiangta found Xiaosan who was hiding in his room reading a book, and then handed him a packaged box.

When I took it, there was a heavy feeling.

"What is it?"

"You'll know when you take it apart."

The other party didn't tell Xiaosan directly, but asked him to open the box to verify what was inside.

Glancing at his elder brother, Xiaosan didn't hesitate, reached out and opened the box, and then took out the deity of the thing inside.

"...for me?"

Holding the brand new laptop in his hand, Xiaosan felt unreal. The original him was still struggling with how to make money to get a computer, but he did not expect to get it so easily.

"Ang, I have been yelling that I want a computer in my dreams for several nights, and I can't sleep because of your noise. How do you feel now?"

Silently looking at the notebook in his hand, Xiaosan cannot deny that he is extremely eager for a tool that can connect to the Internet. The mobile phone can indeed, but after all, its functions are limited.

In his original expectation, he might have to wait until he was promoted to high school and could meet the conditions for a part-time job before he could get a computer of his own, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Is it expensive?"

"It just happened to be on sale, so I bought it. Take it as a reward to congratulate you on your promotion to high school in advance. Remember to study hard and find a good job in the future. Support me."

Looking at the smiling elder brother, Xiaosan also smiled, and put away the notebook.

"Don't worry, when you have money, I will give you a house."

"You said, I'm waiting."

"no problem."

With a final sigh, Xiangta carefully scanned the room where he had lived for an unknown amount of time, and then looked at his younger brother.

"I'm leaving, remember to call me if you have anything to do."

"Ah."

Without too many words, after the two brothers looked at each other for a while, Xiangta turned and left the room, and left with the people from the moving company, and finally sat on the truck, shaking his hand at Xiaosan.

The irresponsible mother was not at home, because she knew that her son was leaving, she seemed so angry that she hadn't been back home for a long time.

Even at the end when her elder brother left, she was not there.

Xiaosan, who was left alone, was slightly moved in his heart, but there was no loss or sadness that was too strong.

Living in a city, there will always be a chance to meet again, it’s not like forever, isn’t it?

"A new computer? Let's see if it works."

After tidying up his complicated mood, Xiaosan had the usual smile on his face, and then walked towards the corridor behind him...

exist?Give some recommendations?

Chapter 7. Give me face, I'm a protagonist

"Hey, Togo-san, can you teach me how to play chess?"

After class, when the teacher packed up the textbooks and left the classroom, Xiaosan, who had nothing to do, stood up from his seat, dismissed the classmates who came to chat with him, and came to the seat where he was sitting alone. In front of the girl looking at the book.

The girl with a delicate appearance full of the feeling of a Japanese beauty raised her head in surprise, and looked at Xiaosan who walked in front of her.

"Akizuki-san, are you also interested in shogi?"

Looking at the dignified girl who looked up at him, Xiao San smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the book about shogi in the opponent's hand.

"Although I have always been interested in it, it is a pity that I have not had any chance to get in touch with it. No one has taught me how to play chess, so I have never understood it very well. As for Dongxiang, I heard that you are already a professional chess player. Are you a player?"

Looking at the girl in front of him curiously, what Xiao San said was not just lying to strike up a conversation with the girl, he was quite interested in a culture like shogi from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, Xiaosan had no interest in the girl in his class who was almost transparent to a certain extent, but until a few days ago, after seeing news and photos about her in his own newspaper, Xiaosan was a little surprised .

"Well, a few days ago, I was just promoted to the fourth rank."

"It's quite powerful. I don't think I have such a talent, right? If you want to learn shogi, you want to join that... a place like an association, right?"

Xiao San, who didn't know much about shogi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the girl sitting at the table.

"It's a training club, right? A place dedicated to practicing cultivation, and then after you have enough strength, you can be promoted to the reward club, and then you will be a professional player."

"Speaking of it this way, Mr. Dongxiang has already reached the stage of a professional player. He should be close to the legendary title and celebrity, right?"

"No, no, in my case, my strength is not good enough, I need to work hard and study hard."

Facing Xiaosan's admiration, the girl looked rather shy without any pride, smiling and denying the distance between herself and the celebrity.

"So, if I want to learn shogi, do you have any good books to recommend?"

"If there are books, there are, please wait a moment."

Hearing Xiaosan's inquiry, the girl was silent for a moment, and then glanced sideways at her desk drawer.

When the girl tilted her head, looking at the other party's snow-white neck that happened to be exposed, Xiaosan's eyes could not help but pause for a moment, and then quickly shifted to other places to avoid being discovered by the other party.

"This book is more suitable for newcomers who are just getting started, but the best thing is to join a place like a seminar."

The girl who had been searching for a long time in the belly of the table handed a book called "Introduction to Shogi for Newcomers" to Xiaosan.

Xiaosan stretched out his hand to take the book from the other party, looked at the unpretentious cover, opened it and flipped through two pages, raised his head, and glanced at Dongxiang One Two Three.

"Can you lend me this book?"

"Of course there is no problem. It would be the best if you can make people around you interested in shogi. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Although I don't have much confidence, some basic questions can still be answered. .”

"Then in the future, you may have to trouble Dongxiang, so please don't dislike him."

"No, to be honest...please do your best!"

Just when Xiaosan wanted to say something to the other party, the class bell rang quietly, Xiaosan choked what he wanted to say back to his stomach, smiled and waved with Dongxiang one, two, three with the book, and returned to himself position.

As for the girl's words, she also smiled at Xiao Sanhui.

The one who walked into the teacher was the Chinese teacher, a middle-aged woman who looked quite dignified.

Regarding Chinese, Xiaosan, who is quite confident, glanced at the content of today's lecture, took out the book borrowed from Dongxiang [-], and put the book beside the textbook, Secretly looked up.

Probably because of the corner, the teacher didn't notice Xiaosan's actions, until the end of get out of class, he was not called or asked questions, and passed the class safely.

"What are you looking at."

Just when Xiaosan looked at the content about shogi and thought it was quite interesting in his heart, a somewhat dull voice sounded from beside him.

"About shogi, is there anything you want, Takashi?"

"In a few days, there will be another test, don't you worry at all?"

The boy with broken hair came to Xiaosan's side, watching Xiaosan facing the extracurricular books that had nothing to do with his studies, the boy's expression seemed a little dissatisfied, as if he was disappointed with the slack Xiaosan.

"Learning something that has nothing to do with the textbook is another way to relax. After all, shogi is a very interesting traditional culture, isn't it?"

"If the test ranks behind this time, the original recommended quota will be replaced, right?"

"Don't be so snobbish. The number of recommended places has not been determined from the beginning. It's just a matter of speculation, isn't it?"

"I just overheard you the last time you went to the office."

There was a slight pause in the movement of turning the pages of the book, Xiaosan raised his head to look at the young man beside him, and then smiled.

"Well, it doesn't make any difference to me where I go anyway."

"But for me, I lack a qualified opponent."

After finishing speaking, the boy stopped talking to Xiaosan, turned around and left, and returned to his seat under Xiaosan's peripheral vision, then picked up the textbook and read it.

The boy who talked to Xiaosan was named Takashi Nishimura, a man who aspired to become a teacher. As for whether the other party would really become a teacher, Xiaosan was not sure, but the other party's old-fashioned personality was indeed very suitable for becoming a teacher.

There are still almost three months left, and it is almost the end of his three years of middle school life. Looking at the shogi introductory in his hand, Xiaosan could not help lying on his seat, looking at the blue sky outside the window.

'Even if it is a new life, do you have to struggle hard for life?really...'

"Congratulations! First prize!"

Xiaosan bought a lottery card casually, and ended up winning 50 yen, Xiao San looked down at the lottery ticket in his hand, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

- - - -

Thanks to Wang Tianlan, my name is Feng Baobao's monthly ticket!Thanks to the blade that I am not a man anymore!Thank you all for your votes!

Chapter 8. Life begins to leap forward

In the crowded tram, a stranger's umbrella wets the corner of the school uniform, someone's suit smells of mothballs, the body temperature of others clings to the back, and the turbid air-conditioning wind blows towards the face.

If conditions permit, Xiaosan doesn't mind at all that he hides in his own home at this time, and then stays bored in his bed, waiting for time to pass and spend his day.

But it can only be if.

"Do you have to go to school in this weather? It's really troublesome."

Because the tram was crowded with people, even if the weather was not so warm, the air in the cramped space could not help but feel stuffy and humid.

No one likes to rub against the bodies of strangers, especially the people around them. They are all a group of suits and ties. They look like successful people, but they are social animals who squeeze the trams here like themselves.

Thinking that he would be like them one day in the future, Xiaosan couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sadness in his heart, and his desire for a better life for himself also increased a little.

In order to ensure that his written materials are good-looking enough, even Xiaosan, who has already attended school once, can't help but pay attention to it at the critical moment when he is about to graduate and enter a higher school.

"There's still a month left, so it's almost time to end? Such a troublesome life."

Jumping from one pit to another, Xiaosan thought so from the bottom of his heart, but it was obviously impossible to say what he said, if someone he knew heard it, it would be a troublesome thing after all.

Stepping out of the tram, I saw other people wearing the same school uniform as myself, getting off the bus with the crowd, holding up their umbrellas, and walking out of the platform one after another.

Stepping on the wet ground, avoiding those seemingly unknown puddles, and then walking towards the school step by step.

"Good morning."

Smiling, I stretched out my hand to say hello to those classmates who had no friendship at all, then returned to my seat, took out the homework I reviewed last night, and sat in the classroom to review it silently.

When someone comes to say hello, you have to respond to the other party with a smile and talk to the other party.

Using a perfunctory way that the other party can't see, talk about some topics that I don't care about, and make the other party smile, wait until the class bell rings, then watch the other party leave, and sit back in his own seat.

"Qiuyue-kun, please explain the meaning of this sentence."

In class, the middle-aged woman who taught Chinese, Xiaosan, almost forgot what the other party's last name was.

Gutian?Or Yoshida?
