In fact, Ito Nanako didn't know what to say at the moment, so she had an idea and simply handed over the milk tea.
As for Ye Chen, although he felt a little surprised, he had indeed not drank a sip of water since he went out to pick up his father-in-law until now, and his mouth was really dry.
So, he subconsciously took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, I happen to be thirsty."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, bit the straw, and took a big sip.
Only then did Ito Nanako react and exclaimed in her heart: "Oops! I've just had a few sips of this cup of milk tea..."
"Although I only took a few sips, I still drank it!"
"Oh no, no, no, if this happens, wouldn't I be kissing Ye Chen indirectly?!"
Ye Chen didn't know that this milk tea was drunk by Nanako Ito. While drinking the milk tea, he said, "Ms. Ito, are you okay with coming to see me so late?"
Nanako Ito was extremely ashamed.
She has received twenty years of rigorous education as a lady, and knows the importance of the six words "men and women are not intimate with each other." This can be said to be the most intimate contact between herself and the opposite sex!
Therefore, she felt nervous and uneasy at the same time.
However, apart from that, she was still a little excited inside.
Just when she was flustered, Ye Chen asked her: "Why are you here?"
"Ah...I..." Nanako Ito said nervously: "I am...I am...I am on my way...oh
No...I..."
Nanako Ito couldn't lie, so she didn't know how to answer his question, and she was instantly confused.
Ye Chen smiled calmly and said, "Okay, don't be too nervous in front of me, just say whatever you want."
Ito Nanako nodded slightly and said: "I just... I just want to meet Ye Chenjun... because I'm worried that I won't have a chance to see Ye Chenjun after the game..."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "What? Are you going back to Japan after the competition?"
"That's right." Nanako Ito didn't dare to look into his eyes and said softly: "My father has arranged the flight and will go back immediately after the game."
Ye Chen was puzzled: "You have made it to the finals anyway. Even if you lose, you are still the runner-up. Are you not even going to attend the award ceremony?"
Nanako Ito smiled bitterly and said: "As the number one seed in the competition, I failed to win the gold medal. How could I have the face to attend the runner-up award ceremony..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Practice martial arts not to win, because the birth of martial arts itself is not to fight others, but to fight yourself."
"Fight with yourself?" Ito Nanako asked blankly: "Ye Chenjun, what does it mean to fight with yourself?"
Ye Chen smiled calmly and said: "Nanako, our Chinese ancestors may be different from the ancestors of any country or nation in the world. Our ancestors never like to bully the weak, nor do they like foreign aggression.
.”
"Since ancient times, our Chinese ancestors have always defended their country and tried their best to avoid being invaded by foreign enemies. However, even during the most prosperous period when all nations came to Korea, we have never invaded any country, including you, Japan."
"The ancestors of China always think about how to be ourselves. Even if we fight, we are only fighting against ourselves, against ourselves yesterday and against ourselves now!"
“We fight against ourselves in order to surpass ourselves now and in the past. We fight against ourselves in medical skills in order to live longer. We fight against ourselves in farming skills in order to feed more people.
Fight with yourself along the way in martial arts in order to make yourself stronger."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Nanako Ito and asked her: "If you are no longer allowed to participate in any competitions from now on, will you give up on improvement or even martial arts?"
Nanako Ito blurted out: "Of course not! Even if I no longer participate in any competitions, I will not give up martial arts!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "That's it. What you love is martial arts, not using martial arts to defeat others, so what's the important thing whether you win or not? Even if you lose the game, you won't get any medals.
What's important? As long as it's worthy of the love for martial arts in my heart, that's enough."
Nanako Ito bowed slightly to him and said sincerely: "Thank you, Ye Chen-kun, Nanako understands!
Ye Chen said: "Just work hard in tomorrow's game. Don't care too much whether you succeed or fail. Just show your best side."
Nanako Ito nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Ye Chen-kun, I will definitely do my best!"
After saying that, she remembered the distressed look Ye Chen looked at her during the semi-finals, and asked with happiness in her heart: "Mr. Ye, how did I perform in the last game?"
When Ye Chen heard her talk about the last competition, he still felt a little heartbroken when he thought of the scene where she was repeatedly hit by her opponents in the ring and was constantly injured.
So, he said seriously: "I think you performed very well in the last game. I don't understand why you allowed the opponent to succeed repeatedly. In fact, your strength is superior to the opponent. If you start from the beginning,
If you just fight back resolutely, you probably won't be injured, but you insist on giving the other side a chance, why on earth is that?"
Nanako Ito said shyly: "Actually... I mainly wanted to win with one move, so I kept letting the opponent attack me in the early stage just to find the opponent's flaw."
Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "It's a competition, as long as you win, why do you have to defeat the enemy with one move?"
In Ye Chen's opinion, Ito Nanako's one-move to defeat the enemy is very different from Qin Aoxue's one-move to defeat the enemy.
Because Qin Aoxue's overall strength has greatly increased now, she has the ability to defeat the enemy with one move, so defeating the enemy with one move is not a big problem for her, and it can even be said to be easy.
However, although Ito Nanako is stronger than her opponent Michelle, she is not strong enough to defeat her opponent with one move, so she has set herself an extremely difficult problem.
If she hadn't insisted on taking the most difficult path, she wouldn't have been hit by the opponent several times during the competition.
Ito Nanako was even more shy at this time. She said extremely seriously: "I...I mainly...mainly hope to make Ye Chenjun look at me...with admiration...
..."
When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Is it actually for yourself?
Isn't this girl too stupid?
In order to impress yourself, you stand in the ring and let your opponent hit you repeatedly? What if the opponent accidentally gets seriously injured?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you think it's worth putting yourself in such a dangerous situation just to impress me?"
"It's worth it!" Ito Nanako said resolutely and sincerely: "At a certain moment, I saw Ye Chenjun's eyes on the ring. I didn't know if I was wrong, but when I saw that look in your eyes
, I instantly felt that everything was worth it..."
