Chapter 1451
In fact, Nanako did not know what she should say at this moment. Therefore, she suddenly thought
of giving the milk tea to Charlie. 6
Although Charlie felt a little surprised, he had not drunk even a sip of water ever since he had gone
out t o pick up his father-inw, and he felt a little thirsty a t this time. 3
So, he subconsciously took the cup of milk tea in his hand before he smiled and said, "Thank you. I
just so happen to feel a little thirsty too."
After saying that, Charlie lowered his head before he sipped on the straw and drank a big mouthful
of the milk tea. 5

At this time, Nanako came to a sudden realization, and she eximed in her heart, ''Oops! I took a
few small sips of the cup of milk tea just now... Although I only drank a few sips of the milk tea, I still
drank it anyway! Wouldn’t that mean that I''ve kissed Charlie indirectly, then?'' 8
Charlie did not know that Nanako had already drunk the milk tea before him. As he continued
drinking the milk tea, Charlie said, "Ito-san, why did youe to look for me sote at night? Is
anything the matter?"
Nanako felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
She had received twenty years of rigorous training on
how she should be acting like ady, and she knew the importance of the words stating that
''physical contact between men and women were forbidden''. This was the closest contact she had
ever had with a person from the opposite sex!
Therefore, Nanako was feeling both nervous and anxious at this time.
However, other than that, she was just faintly excited.
As she was still very flustered, Charlie asked her," Why are you here?” 5
"Ahh... I...” Nanako replied nervously, "I am... I am... I was just passing by... no... I...”
Nanako did not know how to lie, so she did not know how to answer this sudden question, and she
was in a very flustered and confused state.
Charlie smiled indifferently before he said, "Well, you don’t have to be so nervous in front of me. If
there is anything, you can just say it to me."
Nanako nodded lightly before she said, "I am... I am just here to see you, Mr. Wade. It is because I
am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to see you again..."
Charlie asked curiously, "Why is that so? Are you going back to Japan immediately after the
match?"
"That’s right." Nanako did not dare to look into his eyes, and she simply whispered, "My father has
already arranged for a ne to bring me back to Japan immediately after the match."
Charlie was very puzzled, and he asked, "You are already in the finals. Even if you lose the match,
you will still be the first runner-up in thepetition. Don''t you have any ns to participate in the
awards ceremony?"
Nanako smiled bitterly as she said, "As the first seed i n thepetition, if I fail to secure the gold
medal, I will not have the face to stay to ept the award as the first runner-up of the
competition...” 10
Charlie smiled as he said, "The reason why you practicebat and fighting is not necessarily just
to win. This is because the birth ofbat and fighting i n itself is not just to measure up to
someone else, but also to measure up to your own expectations and standards."
"Measure up to my own expectations and standards?" Nanako asked nkly, "Mr. Wade, what does
that mean?"
Charlie smiled indifferently as he said, "Nanako, the Oskian ancestors are actually very different
compared to all the other ancestors of any countries or nations i n this world. Our ancestors have
never enjoyed bullying the weak to show off our own strengths and superiority, and we have never
liked or engaged in any foreign invasions."
"Ever since ancient times, our Oskian ancestors have remained firmly in our country. We have tried
our best to counter all attacks and invasions by our foreign enemies, but even in our most
prosperous times during theing of all nations, we have never set out to invade any other
countries, and that includes your country, Japan."
