Finally, this is my fight!
Ai Lin was extremely excited at this moment, feeling as if the magic power within her had been dormant for so many years, like herself, yearning for a moment to explode with abandon.
At this moment, Long Yi handed her something. Looking at it, Ai Lin saw it was a strand of metal wire.
"Tie up your hair, it might hamper your fighting. And those boots, the heels are quite high, they could also affect your combat abilities," Long Yi said, his voice low.
A blush blossomed on Ai Lin's face. She took the metal wire, tied her hair neatly, but did not change her boots.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."
Ai Lin said, her voice soft but assured.
Disappointment?
Long Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. She appeared steadfast on the surface, yet it seemed her heart was not entirely free of concern.
"You don't need to fight for anyone," said Long Yi.
Ai Lin paused, then gently nodded her head. She understood what Long Yi meant. But she needed time.
