Chapter 740

The next day.

Kobayashi Jiro set off for Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical early in the morning.

Ye Chen, after eating the breakfast made by his mother-in-law Ma Lan, borrowed his father-in-law's car and drove to the Jin Ling Gymnasium.

It must be said that ever since Ma Lan gave in, Ye Chen's life at home had been much more comfortable.

And ever since Ma Lan heard Ye Chen say that if Xiao Churan gave birth to a child, he would give her a high "hard work fee" and let her help take care of the child, she became even more fawning over Ye Chen, and at the same time, she kept urging Xiao Churan to have a child early.

Ma Lan had been married to Xiao Changkun for so many years, and her cooking skills had never improved; she just fooled her husband and daughter in various ways.

But now, she actually started holding her mobile phone and studying recipes, determined to maintain Ye Chen, this son-in-law, so that she could have a good life in the future.

She had already figured it out.

Although Ye Chen was just an orphan with no background, he at least mastered the skill of Feng Shui. There would definitely be no shortage of money in this family in the future. Coupled with living in this villa worth over 100 million at Tang Chen Yi Pin, she couldn't be more satisfied.

Therefore, now she only wanted to please Ye Chen and nothing else.

This point made both Xiao Churan and Xiao Changkun drop their jaws.

They didn't expect that Ma Lan, who had never bowed her head at home, had actually started to bow her head to Ye Chen.

Of course, they both knew very well that Ma Lan was doing this for money; after all, no one knew Ma Lan's character better than them.

But this wasn't a bad thing; at least there wouldn't be any more chaos at home.

Ye Chen drove to the gymnasium, and the gymnasium was already crowded with people.

Today's finals could be said to be the focus of the whole country.

The people of the whole country wanted to see if the dark horse Qin Aoxue could be a dark horse to the end and directly win a championship!

When Ye Chen arrived backstage, Qin Aoxue had already arrived early.

Seeing him come, she was both shy and happy. She hugged his arm and asked him coquettishly: "Master Ye, do you think Aoxue can win today?"

Ye Chen nodded and said earnestly: "I think you will definitely win!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Ito Nanako again.

Admittedly.

Ito Nanako's strength was much higher than Qin Aoxue's before, but now Qin Aoxue's strength had already surpassed Ito Nanako by a large margin.

Therefore, Ye Chen was not worried about Qin Aoxue winning.

However, he was secretly worried that Qin Aoxue might accidentally seriously injure Ito Nanako during the match.

To be honest, he had a good impression of this girl, Ito Nanako.

Although she was a Japanese woman, it had to be admitted that her appearance, figure, personality, disposition, upbringing, and cultivation were all models of being both beautiful and virtuous.

The eight characters "quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit" were the best interpretation of her.

Any normal man would inevitably feel pity when facing such a gentle woman.

She was like the most brilliant and fragrant flower, and everyone would have a bit of a desire to protect her.

Although Ye Chen didn't like her, the element of appreciation still occupied the majority.

Appreciating someone naturally meant not wanting this person to be hurt.

However, the opponent she was facing right now happened to be the "Little Chili" Qin Aoxue.

From the perspective of the match, Ye Chen naturally hoped that Qin Aoxue would win and also bring glory to the Chinese people.

However, from a personal perspective, he also didn't want Ito Nanako to suffer too serious an injury.

At one moment, Ye Chen wanted to urge Qin Aoxue to hold back a bit of her strength after going on stage and not hurt Ito Nanako too badly.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he gave up this thought.

Because he knew he couldn't interfere with Qin Aoxue's match.

If he said this, Qin Aoxue would definitely be shocked and disappointed.

After all, he was the Master Ye she infinitely admired, and also her current coach. If he asked her to show mercy to her enemy before her match, she would definitely feel a sense of betrayal.

Therefore, he could only keep this worry in his heart, and at the same time secretly thought that if Ito Nanako was not seriously injured, he would not interfere anymore and let her return to Japan directly.

But if Ito Nanako was seriously injured, he couldn't just ignore it; he would have to save her at least once and couldn't let her become a useless person like her mentor Yamamoto Kazuki.

At the same time, in the lounge on the other side, Ito Nanako's expression was somewhat nervous.

Her assistant, Tanaka Koichi, placed two mobile phones in front of her, both of which were in video calls.

One was a video call with Yamamoto Kazuki, who was lying in the hospital; the other was a video call with her father, Ito Yuhiko, who was far away in Japan.

Yamamoto Kazuki said with a serious face: "Nanako, it's still not too late to quit now. You'd better not go on stage to compete with that Qin Aoxue. If you are seriously injured, your future will be ruined for life!"

Ito Nanako said earnestly: "Master, please don't say such things anymore. Nanako has ten minutes to go on stage. Please say some encouraging words, or give Nanako some pointers on tactics!"

Yamamoto Kazuki sighed: "Hey! You... why don't you listen to advice!"

Ito Yuhiko in the other mobile phone also couldn't hide his nervousness and said: "Nanako! Mr. Yamamoto is your mentor, why don't you listen to his advice and insist on playing this match? You are the child Dad loves the most. Dad would rather you be mediocre for a lifetime than see you get hurt!"

Ito Nanako's eyes turned red, and she said: "Father, you watched Nanako grow up and know Nanako's character best. If Nanako shrinks from the match today, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go for the rest of my life. I'm only 22 this year. Are you willing to let me spend the rest of my life with regrets?"

Ito Yuhiko couldn't help but choke up and said: "Nanako, you always call me Father. Today, I want to hear you call me 'Otosan' like a child from an ordinary family..."

Ito Nanako immediately stood up, bowed deeply to the mobile phone video, and said respectfully: "Otosan!"

Otosan is the Japanese word for Dad.

After hearing Ito Nanako's "Otosan", Ito Yuhiko sighed and said: "Nanako, go ahead. Dad respects you. Go and pursue your own peace of mind. Dad is waiting for you in Tokyo!"

Ito Nanako smiled sweetly and said: "Otosan, if I am seriously injured this time, I don't want to go back to Tokyo. I want to go to Kyoto to recuperate. I prefer the environment in Kyoto..."

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, an international metropolis with high-rise buildings and heavy traffic, full of modern atmosphere.

Kyoto, on the other hand, is the ancient capital of Japan, where there are a large number of historical sites from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and they are preserved quite well. The modern atmosphere is not so strong, the environment is quiet, and the climate is pleasant.

Ito Nanako grew up in the Ito family's ancient residence in Kyoto when she was a child, and moved to Tokyo with her family when she was fourteen. But in her heart, Kyoto was the only hometown in her memory.
