Zuko smiled. “Thanks, Uncle Nicholas.”
Nicholas tidied his tie, looking proud. Linda then dragged him away, holding his ear.
Zuko knocked on the door, but there was no response at first. He became worried and was about to ask the maid
for a spare key when the door opened.
Lina stood in front of him with her eyes downcast. She looked thinner, with dark circles under her eyes, but she
didn’t seem dispirited.
“Lina…” Zuko felt a pang of heartache and gently caressed her soft cheek, asking, “Is there anything else I can do
for you?”
Lina smiled and leaned into his embrace.
During this time, Zuko had already done a lot for her. While Lina had been cooperating with the police investigation,
he had been outside waiting for her. When Lina locked herself in her room, he had been analyzing the doubts and
finding evidence.

Lina said, “I’d like to take a walk. Would you go with me?”
“Of course!” Zuko was eager to do that. “Where would you like to go?”
She thought for a while but could not think of anywhere at all. In reality, she had been feeling down. Even if she had
good psychological coping skills, it was impossible to act as if nothing had happened in a situation like this.
“I-I just want to go all out and have fun,” she whispered. “As long as I can forget about this annoying matter.”
“That’s all?” Zuko chuckled, took her hand, and led her out. He said clearly, “I’m on it!”

After making a few phone calls, Zuko drove Lina to a hilltop. She didn’t recognize this place but followed him
through the bushes and discovered a hidden paradise in an open space. There was actually a helicopter stationed
there!
The silver-gray helicopter glistened in the sunlight.
Zuko smiled as he explained, “This is my helipad. It’s a gift from my mother when I graduated from university.”
At that moment, several people walked over, wearing professional uniforms and nodding slightly in front of Zuko.
“They’re my flight instructors,” Zuko said, looking at Lina. “Didn’t you say you wanted to go all out? Let’s do that!”
Lina got into the helicopter excitedly, with a little bit of anxiety. It slowly ascended to a certain altitude. Lina looked
down from the window, and the entire city seemed to have turned into Lego toys. She had never seen the city from
this angle before and felt exhilarated.
At this point, the instructor helped her put on a parachute.
Lina was taken aback and looked up at Zuko.
“Zuko, I…”
“Don’t be afraid,” he said gently. “I’m here.”
“When did you learn to skydive?”
“Hmm… a long time ago.” He grinned. “Don’t you think I’m full of surprises, that there are many things that you
don’t know about me?”
She punched him softly, and he took the opportunity to hold her hand and lead her to the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe instructors were veterans who had been doing this for over ten years. There were even retired paratroopers
among them, so their safety was guaranteed.
Lina was terribly nervous. Her legs could not stop shaking. However, the world changed when she jumped and the
parachute opened.
Zuko held her hands tightly as they were high in the sky. The parachutes were like two flowers opened in the blue
sky.
Lina felt the wind rushing past her ears, and the significant sense of falling brought a different kind of excitement.
She could not help but scream.
All the sadness and grievances vanished into the sky, along with her shouts.
“Lina!” Zuko called out her name loudly.
With all the noise and excitement, Lina couldn’t hear what Zuko was shouting.
“What did you say?” she asked.
“I love you!” he shouted.
“What?”
