Lina looked at him, her heart skipping several beats, and the warmth of his lips seemed to linger on hers.
Zuko’s hand lightly brushed against her ear, tucking away the stray hair behind it. He liked looking at her face like
this—clean and refreshing with delicate features. The small mole at the corner of her eye was like an
embellishment unlike any other in the world.
His thumb caressed her cheek gently, tender and affectionate.
“Z-Zeke, you…” Lina’s mind went blank.
Was he confessing his feelings to her? Did he also like her?
A confession like this was too direct…
She had never been in a relationship before, and she did not know what other people’s confessions were like. She
only knew that her whole body was bubbling in pink, and her heart was filled with sweetness. However, her
rationale told her that she should be reserved and not giggle too exaggeratedly as a girl.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, she gave a shallow smile with a lowered head, casting her eyes downward. Her long eyelashes cast
shadows on her fair skin, making her look like a beautiful painting.
Zuko’s blood boiled. He did not understand if this was what they called the feeling of love, but if possible, he wanted
to freeze this moment in eternity.
“Lina…” He said hoarsely, “By doing this, can you understand my feelings?”
The young woman blushed and smiled, intentionally shaking her head.
“You don’t?” Zuko was taken aback. “I’ve done all this, and you still don’t understand what I mean?”
“Go away…” She gently pushed him.
Zuko was dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he had done countless research on high-quality Q&A websites before this and had learned a bit about
romantic relationships. They seemed to say that when a girl said “no”, it meant “yes”, and when a girl said “go
away”, it meant “hold me tight”…
He curled his lips slightly and suddenly embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms once again.
Lina was completely captivated at this point. Her small face turned crimson, and she could not look at him, but she
secretly hoped he would do something more…
Zuko’s deep gaze lingered on her face, his low voice carrying a hint of amusement. “Lina, I have a question for
you.”
“Um… Go ahead.”
“When I kissed you just now, why did you keep your eyes open?”
“Huh!?” Lina’s mind went blank. She looked at his half-smiling eyes and wished she could find a hole to hide in.
“Zeke! What kind of question is that?”
“Shouldn’t girls close their eyes when they’re being kissed?”
“That’s enough. Stop talking!” she said, lightly pushing him.
“I have one more thing to say…” Zuko smiled and leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her face. “Our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmactions weren’t right just now. Let’s start over!”
Lina bit her lip, unable to move as her petite figure was held tightly in his embrace.
Zuko was still not satisfied and wanted to do it again…
Lina suddenly asked, “Why?”
“Hmm?” He paused momentarily, quickly realizing that such back-and-forth kisses seemed to go nowhere. He
should not have listened to Toph and kissed her first. She was a girl, and things should be done in proper order!
It was just that…
Zuko’s heartbeat also became somewhat erratic.
The confession was only a few words, but they weighed heavily on his tongue, and he could not say them. He found
an excuse. “Because—because we’re husband and wife!”
“That’s fake,” said Lina.
“Then because…”
Lina looked up at him.
It was like there were countless stars in her eyes, and Zuko’s heart melted into tenderness. He disregarded
everything and said those few words.
