Chapter 1072


    Lina nced at the screen, then quickly looked away. She couldn’t see what was happening behind


    Zuko.


    “I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer… Is your phone just for show? Or do you not want


    me to call anymore? Is there something or someone more interesting over there?” Her jealousy was


    evident and overflowing.


    Zuko smiled mischievously and teased her intentionally. “Mm-hmm. I was upied with something


    today.”


    Lina bit her lip and ignored him.


    Zuko’s voice deepened. “Lina, look up. There are so many stars tonight.”


    Lina didn’t understand what he meant. She didn’t notice the familiar figure standing silently behind a


    tree nearby, staring at her.


    Lina nced at her phone again, only to find darkness behind Zuko.


    The time difference in Jangasas was one hour. It should be evening there.


    “W-What about you?” Lina asked. “Are there stars over there?”


    “Yes.” Zuko chuckled. “I was just having a conversation with a star, asking it to keep youpany.”


    Lina was taken aback, but she couldn’t help smiling. “Since when did you be so cheesy?”


    “I’m not being cheesy. I’m just being sincere,” Zuko said in a serious tone.


    Lina was slightly perplexed, and then she heard him say, “Are you in the hotel courtyard?”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Yes…”


    “There’s a big banyan tree there. We had a video callst time.”

    Indeed, there was a magnificent banyan tree standing tall. It could create a forest on its own. The


    canopy was wide, and the leaves were lush. It was truly majestic.


    “Go over there,” Zuko instructed. “I asked the star tond there.”


    “Zeke!” Lina smiled.


    Not only was Zuko being cheesy, but he was also being childish!


    “Sure, I’ll go over there now! But if I don’t see a star when I—” Before Lina could finish her sentence, a


    balloon floated down from the banyan tree, passing over her head.


    Lina was astonished and instinctively reached out and grabbed the string’s tail. A dazzling ne fell


    into her hand. It was the “star” he had mentioned.


    Lina was surprised and overjoyed. She widened her eyes as she looked at the screen. “Zeke, what…”


    “Now that the star is in your hand make a wish!” Zuko eximed.


    Lina was at a loss for words at that moment.


    “If you’re not sure what to wish for, can I help you?” Zuko smirked, his voice electric and deep. “I’m


    guessing you must want to see me.


    “Look up, Lina. I’m stepping out of the screen right now!”


    Lina’s mind went nk.


    And then, someone actually walked out from behind the banyan tree, slowly emerging into view!


    Zuko seemed like a ray of light, with a big smile and a gentleness in his eyes that mirrored the stars.


    Lina was dumbfounded.


    She stared at him nkly. Everything felt like a dream—she couldn’t believe it.


    “Z-Zeke?” Her voice trembled after a long pause. “Why are you here?!”


    Zuko smiled as he approached her. Her bewildered expression made himugh and feel sorry for her.


    He yed with her hair and lightly tapped the tip of her nose, making her believe everything was real.


    At that moment, she felt as though the burning desire in his eyes and the warmth of his touch were


    meant for her and her alone.
