After Nozawa met Ningning, satisfied his nostalgic feelings, he didn't do anything inappropriate. He just gently praised Ningning and Ah Cheng, then continued to chat idly with Asano Nagasuke. However, Asano Nagasuke seemed to have lost interest in chatting and instead showed more concern about Nozawa's personal circumstances and future ambitions, testing him in his words.
Nozawa didn't mind, brushed him off for a while, and then took his leave early, politely declining even Asano Nagasuke's invitation to stay for a meal—there would be ample opportunities in the future, and for a first visit, it was enough to just get acquainted. He would come back to bother the Asano Family often later; one step at a time was best.
