Chapter 1037


    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 nk.


    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 rtionship 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.


    Hence, she gave a shallow smile with a lowered head, casting her eyes downward. Her long eyshes


    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 rtionships. 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

    Lina waspletely 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 nk. 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 actions 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.
