Chapter 1844


    Back then, Nanako insisted onpeting with Aurora, whose strength had improved significantly


    thanks to Charlie’s Rejuvenating Pill. 5


    In the end, Aurora had seriously injured Nanako in the ring, which eventually became a thorn that


    pieced Charlie''s heart. 7


    On the one hand, he felt sorry for Nanako, but on the other, he appreciated her zeal for never


    saying no and her courage to tread uncharted waters. 3


    In addition to that, he felt a certain degree of shame for her because he single-handedly pushed


    Aurora from a level far below her to a level far beyond Nanako''s.


    Now that he had cured her, the thorn was removed, and he no longer felt the disturbing stab in his


    heart.


    He saved her life and made her strength improve by arge margin, so the guilt was also


    redeemed. 6


    With both the heartache and guilt finally being washed away, what remained was more of an


    appreciation for Nanako.


    He smiled at her heartily and full of ease. "In that case, I''ll head off first!"


    "Okay!" Nanako nodded. She was distraught but forced a bright smile and wished him. "Charlie-kun,


    bu-un


    shou ryu! I wish you peace and health!" ''Bu-un shou ryu'' was an adjective that began in Oskia,


    developed and widely used in Japan. 3


    Ancient Japan respected martial arts, and the ultimate representative of martial arts was the


    Bushido they highly respected.


    Therefore, in the Japanese tradition, wishing a person'' bu-un shou ryu'' had many meanings,


    Aswishing him good luck and wishing him invincible and infinite power. 4


    It was a supreme blessing a person could give another.


    Charlie did not expect to hear such a true blessing from Nanako; hence he was slightly stunned. He


    wrapped his right fist with his left palm, clutching them together, and said aloud, "Thank you, Miss


    Nanako. I hope to see you again in the future!” 5


    With that, he looked at Nanako once again before turning around and walking toward the security


    checkpoint.


    The moment Charlie turned around, Nanako’s tears fell from her eyes as she stared at his back.


    She wanted to call out to Charlie so that he could turn around for her to look at him once again, but


    she was afraid that if she did so, he would see her face drenched with tears, and he would


    misunderstand that she deliberately wanted him to see her drop all her pretense and disguise. 1


    She resisted the urge and simply stood there, watching him disappear behind the door, as he turned


    around and left. 2


    Right at this moment, Charlie suddenly looked back at her without him realizing it.


    Just a nce and Charlie froze as if he was struck by lightning. 5


    He initially wanted to turn around and give her another wave as a courtesy, but he did not expect to


    see the smiling Nanako now covered in tears. 6


    Upon seeing that sight of her, Charlie felt as if the softest part of his heart was punched hard. There


    was only one word that could best describe his feeling: Heartbroken! 2


    Nanako also did not expect that Charlie would turn around and look at her again.


    As the young missus of the distinguished Ito family, she, as Yamato Nadeshiko, who went through a


    strict and traditional Japanese upbringing, had utterly lost self-control. 4


    At that very moment, every other worry just vanished from her mind as she sprinted toward Charlie,


    jumped straight into his arms, and hugged him tightly. 2


    Before he could react, she stood on tippy-toes and nted a soft kiss on her own ord. Her thin,


    petite lips that were drenched by the salty tears pressed against Charlie''s lips without hesitation...This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
