Lina anxiously clutched the hem of her clothes, blinking more frequently than usual. Zuko reached out his hand and
gently touched her shoulder, causing her to tremble slightly. She timidly glanced at him, allowing his big hand to
rest on her shoulder without moving.
“Lina…” Zuko wanted to say something but struggled to find the right words. He tentatively reached for her small
hand. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back?”
Lina was startled. He had spoken with a rising tone at the end, asking her cautiously instead of ordering her directly.
Her heart instantly melted.
Scenes since she met Zuko flashed through her mind like a movie. He would never speak loudly to her. The cold
and icy expression he showed to others would instantly transform into a radiant smile when he saw her. He doted
on, spoiled, and cherished her like the apple of his eye. When he heard that Violet and Gia almost hurt her, he
hurriedly rushed to Southeast Aciatic.

down.
Lina stammered, “Zeke… Oh, no, it’s…”
Zuko said, “I told you, if you’re not used to it, you can still call me by my previous name. It doesn’t matter.”
“How can I do that?” Lina smiled. “Your name was given to you by your parents. How can I change it casually?”
Zuko was taken aback.
“Also…” Her voice gradually lowered. “I have to learn to adapt, so let’s start with your name.”
“What?” Zuko doubted if his ears were playing tricks on him before he was enveloped in a huge sense of joy.
“Isn’t it clear enough?” Lina’s voice was soft, but her words were crystal clear. “In the past, it was you who adapted
to me, my family, and my living environment, but I never thought about changing anything for you.”
She looked up with a hint of determination shining through her sparkling eyes. “Now, it’s my turn to adapt to you.”
“Lina…”
“The firefly can’t always wait for the star to fall. Even if it doesn’t fly high, it should try to fly into the sky where the
stars are.”
Zuko was pleasantly surprised, staring at her in a daze for a while with the corners of his mouth twitching. He
wanted to smile but did not dare to make it too exaggerated. In the end, he couldn’t contain his excitement and
tightly embraced her.
“Hey, loosen your grip a bit…” Lina’s eyes were moist, but she also found it funny. She patted his back with her
hand. “You’re going to suffocate me!”
“Oh, sorry, sorry,” Zuko let go of her and apologized repeatedly. He was just too excited.
Originally, he was apprehensive, afraid that Lina would not understand and would not forgive him. Now, he had
obtained the most precious treasure in the world.
The two of them smiled at each other and walked along the path, holding hands. The moonlight elongated their
figures, and the moist air of Southeast Aciatic carried a unique floral fragrance.

“Hey!” Lina’s body tilted, and she protested, “How can I walk like this?”
He raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Can’t walk like this?”
“My head is tilted. Let me see you walk like that!”
“Alright, I can do that.”
As soon as Zuko finished speaking, he straightened up and leaned his big head against her shoulder!
“Hey…”
“See? I can walk like this!”
“You better get up!”
The man became even more shameless, refusing to budge, and pressed his over six feet tall figure against her
slender body. He wouldn’t leave no matter what she said.
“Kiss me.”
“Huh?” Lina was startled.
Zuko grinned at her. “If you kiss me, I’ll stand up straight.”
Lina was both exasperated and amused, rolling her eyes at him several times.
