Chapter 228 Giving Comfort
Later, Lin Yilan no longer wanted to stay on the rooftop with Huo Juncheng and Wang Yimo. At first, Lin Yilan was very curious about what Mr. Li and Chu Xi were going to do, but when Wang Yimo suddenly appeared on the rooftop, she became inexplicably irritated.
She no longer had the initial curiosity she had. She didn't care what they were trying to do. It had nothing to do with her anyway.
Lin Yilan sent a message to Chu Siran, saying that she was not feeling well, and then she went out by herself. But now she didn't want to go back to the Huo family, nor did she want to face Huo Juncheng. She always felt that there was some gap between her and Huo Juncheng, but Lin Yilan didn't know why.
Lin Yilan wanted to escape. She didn't want to think about those things now. Lin Yilan just wanted to be a coward, thinking that slowly, things would always develop in a good direction.
Lin Yilan looked up at the sky. The stars were twinkling like the eyes of an innocent child. Just looking at them quietly made her feel inexplicably healed.
"The banquet is in full swing right now, and Miss Lin wasn't there. Why did she suddenly come out? Did she encounter something bad?"
Maybe she was so lost in thought when she looked up at the sky that she didn't notice a man standing next to her. Lin Yilan looked up and saw that it was her old acquaintance, Cass.
Lin Yilan gave Cass a pale smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted to go out and relax. But you, why aren't you socializing inside? What are you doing out here?"
Cass looked at Lin Yilan's smile and was lost in thought for a moment. He knew that Lin Yilan was just smiling reluctantly, but even so, he thought it was beautiful.
"I...of course I saw Miss Lin coming out, so I followed her. I just don't know what Miss Lin was thinking about, but she was so focused that she didn't even notice me following you. I've always heard that Miss Lin is a martial artist, but she didn't even notice me following you. I think she must have encountered something unhappy, right?"
Lin Yilan looked at Cass beside her and could tell that Cass's concern for her was not fake, but she was in no mood to talk to others at the moment. She just wanted to be alone and quiet.
"Thank you for your concern, but I just want to be alone for a while now. Sorry."
When Cass heard Lin Yilan say this, he did not leave in a hurry. He stood there for a long time. After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she looked away from Cass, so she didn't know that Cass had been standing behind her.
So when Cass suddenly took Lin Yilan's hand, Lin Yilan turned around and subconsciously clamped Cass. Cass didn't expect Lin Yilan to treat him like this, and screamed.
Lin Yilan looked at Cass who was being held by her and quickly let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought you had left. I'm not used to people touching me suddenly, so... I'm really sorry..."
Cass looked at Lin Yilan, who was full of apology, but he was not angry. He twisted his arm and said jokingly, "Just now I was mocking your poor martial arts skills, but now you have proved your strength to me. I really admire you."
"I'm so sorry, I'm just used to it, it's just subconscious..."
"It's okay. I don't blame you. It was wrong of me to suddenly hold your hand. I was being rude. Actually, I just wanted to take you somewhere. I wonder if Miss Lin would be so kind as to do me the honor..."
Lin Yilan looked at Cass in front of her and smiled awkwardly. She knew who Cass was. Where did Cass want to take her? No matter where they went, she couldn't agree.
But when Lin Yilan was about to refuse, Cass seemed to realize it and quickly said, "Ms. Lin, don't be so hasty to reject me. I don't have any bad intentions, really. Although my behavior was a bit frivolous before..."
Cass swallowed nervously as he spoke. "It's mainly because this is my first time in China, and I didn't realize the differences between countries. If you like someone abroad, you have to pursue them boldly. Being timid is definitely not an option."
"Then you can't like Siran at first and then suddenly say you like me, right? Mr. Cass, don't you think that's a bit too casual?"
"Well... it was my first time in China, so of course I couldn't resist the beautiful Miss Chu. But later I realized that my feelings for Miss Chu might just be pure admiration. I think it's you, Miss Lin, that I like."
"Then why do you like me? You know, I don't like to dress up, and sometimes I don't even care about my image. If you like pretty girls, then I'm really far from your ideal type."
Looking at Lin Yilan, who was now joking with him, Cass scratched his head sheepishly. "Actually, I can't really put it into words. I just feel that Miss Lin is more considerate, has a clear distinction between love and hate, and places a special emphasis on loyalty."
Hearing Cass's evaluation of herself, Lin Yilan raised the corners of her mouth happily, expressing that she appreciated Cass's praise very much.
"Ms. Lin, please come with me. I'm just suddenly curious about something. It's definitely not because I want to pursue you in any way, really."
Lin Yilan looked at Cass's sincere expression. She didn't want to go back to the Huo family anyway, and seeing that Cass was sincere, she nodded in agreement.
Cass looked at Lin Yilan and nodded in agreement, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
But Lin Yilan never imagined that Cass would actually bring her to a small boxing club...
"Why did you bring me here? I'm good at Chinese martial arts, but I don't know anything about foreign boxing."
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Cass smiled arrogantly, "It's okay, it's all the same. What I'm more curious about is also related to this."
Lin Yilan looked at Cass in confusion, and Cass then slowly continued, "What I'm curious about now is, which one is better, Muay Thai or Chinese martial arts? How about it, Miss Lin, are you interested in a competition with me?"
After Cass finished speaking, Lin Yilan was shocked for a moment. She didn't expect that Cass also knew Muay Thai. Of course, while she was shocked, she was also quite curious about this matter.
"Okay, but I won't show any mercy later."
"Let's go ahead. I, Cass, am no pushover. My Muay Thai skills are quite impressive. I believe that Miss Lin is such a formidable figure, so I won't need to show any mercy to her, right?"
"I didn't expect you to use Chinese slang. Your Chinese is so impressive. Then your Muay Thai must be pretty good too. Come on, let's have a good fight. Don't give in. For the sake of fairness, I won't be using any Qinggong skills."
After the two men finished talking, they walked straight to the arena. They said they would not give in to each other and wanted to have a good fight, but neither of them used their full strength.
Although Cass said he was curious, it was just because he saw that Lin Yilan was in a bad mood and wanted to find some fun to make her happy.
