Chapter 736: Do You Think It's Worth It?

Actually, Ito Nanako suddenly didn't know what to say, so she had a flash of inspiration and simply handed the milk tea out.

And Ye Chen, although feeling somewhat surprised, had indeed not drunk a drop of water since he went out to pick up his father-in-law until now, and was truly somewhat thirsty.

So, he subconsciously took it and laughed, "Thank you, I'm just thirsty."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, bit the straw, and took a big sip.

Ito Nanako only then reacted, and exclaimed in her heart: "Oh no! This cup of milk tea, I have already drunk a few sips just now..."

"Although I only drank a few small sips, I still drank it!"

"Oh no, oh no, in this way, didn't I have an indirect kiss with Ye Chen?!"

Ye Chen didn't know that this milk tea had been drunk by Ito Nanako. While drinking the milk tea, he asked, "Miss Ito, you came to find me so late, is there anything?"

Ito Nanako was in extreme shame.

She had received strict aristocratic education for twenty years and knew the importance of the six words "men and women should not touch each other." This could be said to be her most intimate contact with the opposite sex!

So, her heart at this time was both nervous and uneasy.

However, besides that, she still felt a bit of joy in her heart.

Just when she was flustered, Ye Chen asked her: "Why did you run here?"

"Ah... I... I..." Ito Nanako said nervously: "I... I... I was... passing by... oh no... I..."

Ito Nanako herself wouldn't lie, so she didn't know how to answer his question, and instantly lost her footing.

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said: "Alright, don't be too nervous in front of me, just say what you have to say."

Ito Nanako nodded gently and said: "I just... I just wanted to see Ye Chen-kun... because I was worried that I wouldn't have a chance to see Ye Chen-kun again after the competition..."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Why? Are you going back to Japan after the competition?"

"Yes." Ito Nanako didn't dare to look into his eyes and said softly: "My father has already arranged the plane, and I will go back immediately after the competition."

Ye Chen was puzzled: "You have made it to the finals anyway, even if you lose the match, you are the runner-up of the competition. Don't you even plan to attend the award ceremony?"

Ito Nanako laughed bitterly: "As the first seed of the competition, I didn't get the gold medal, how can I have the face to stay and attend the runner-up award ceremony..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Practicing martial arts is not for winning, because the birth of martial arts itself is not for fighting with others, but for fighting with oneself."

"Fighting with oneself?" Ito Nanako asked blankly: "Ye Chen-kun, what does fighting with oneself mean?"

Ye Chen laughed indifferently: "We Chinese ancestors might be different from the ancestors of any country or any nation in the world. Our ancestors never liked to bully the weak, and never liked to invade others."

"Since ancient times, our Chinese ancestors have always guarded the country, trying their best not to be invaded by foreign enemies. But even in the most prosperous period of ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute, we have never invaded any country, including your Japan."

"Chinese ancestors always thought about how to do well themselves. Even if there is a struggle, we only fight with ourselves, fight with yesterday's self, and fight with today's self!"

"Fighting with oneself is to transcend the self of now and the past. We fight with ourselves in medicine to live longer, we fight with ourselves in farming techniques to feed more people, and we fight with ourselves in martial arts to make ourselves stronger."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Ito Nanako and asked her: "If from now on, you are not allowed to participate in any competition, will you give up improvement, or even give up martial arts?"

Ito Nanako blurted out: "Of course not! Even if I don't participate in any competition, I won't give up martial arts!"

Ye Chen laughed and said: "That's it. What you love is martial arts, not using martial arts to defeat others, so whether you win or not, what's important? Even if you lose the match and don't get any medals, what's important? As long as you are worthy of your love for martial arts in your heart, that's enough."

Ito Nanako bowed to him slightly and said sincerely: "Thank you, Ye Chen-kun, Nanako understands!"

Ye Chen said: "Try your best in tomorrow's match, don't care too much about success or failure, just show your best side."

Ito Nanako nodded seriously: "Ye Chen-kun, don't worry, I will definitely give it my all!"

After speaking, she remembered the look of heartache Ye Chen had when looking at her during the semi-finals, and asked with happiness in her heart: "Ye Chen-kun, did I perform well in my last match?"

Ye Chen heard her talk about the last match, and thinking of the scene where she was repeatedly hit and injured by her opponent on the ring, he couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.

So, he said seriously: "I think you performed very well in your last match. I don't quite understand one thing. Why did you let the opponent attack you repeatedly? Actually, your strength is above the opponent's. If you had fought back resolutely from the beginning, you might not have been injured. But you insisted on constantly leaving opportunities for the opponent. Why is this?"

Ito Nanako said shyly: "Actually... I was mainly... mainly hoping to defeat the opponent in one move, so I kept letting the opponent attack me, just to find the opponent's flaw."

Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "It's a competition, just win, why do you have to defeat the opponent in one move?"

In Ye Chen's view, Ito Nanako's one-move victory was very different from Qin Qin Aoxue's one-move victory.

Because Qin Qin Aoxue's comprehensive strength had increased greatly now, she completely had the ability to defeat the opponent in one move, so defeating the opponent in one move was not a big problem for her, and could even be said to be easy.

However, Ito Nanako's strength, although stronger than her opponent Michelle, was not strong enough to defeat the opponent in one move, so she was equivalent to giving herself a very difficult question.

If she hadn't insisted on taking this most difficult path, she wouldn't have been hit by the opponent several times during the match.

Ito Nanako was even more shy at this time, and she said very seriously: "I... I was mainly... mainly hoping to make Ye Chen-kun... make Ye Chen-kun look at me with new eyes..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned.

Was it actually for himself?

This girl, is she too stupid?

Just to make himself look at her with new eyes, she stood on the ring and let the opponent attack her repeatedly? What if the opponent was careless and caused a serious injury? What then?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Just to make me look at you with new eyes, you put yourself in such a dangerous situation. Do you think it's worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Ito Nanako said firmly and sincerely: "At a certain moment, I saw Ye Chen-kun's eyes on the ring. I don't know if I misunderstood, but when I saw that look in your eyes, I instantly felt that everything was worth it..."
