Chapter 1073
“Do you not want to see me?” Zuko asked.
Lina felt a lump in her throat, overwhelmed with emotions. After a moment of shock, she broke into a
smile, and tears started pouring down her face. She jumped and tightly embraced him.

Zuko held her tightly in return.
This morning, Zuko had left in a hurry and hadn’t had time to shave. His stubble was tickling her neck
as his chin rubbed against it.
But she continued to hold him tightly.
It felt like a dream, and Lina was afraid of waking up from it.
Zuko felt the girl in his arms trembling, her shoulders shaking with sobs. He gently patted her back,
comforting her like one wouldfort a child. “Did my sudden appearance scare you?”
Zuko apologized, “I’m sorry, Lina… I didn’t tell you that I wasing. I was worried that you would feel
lonely being here alone, so I wanted toe and be with you as soon as possible. That’s all.”
Zuko had panicked when he heard about Violet’s disfigurement from using the face cream Gia had
bought. The thought of Lina having to face such a dangerous woman made him lose all sense of
reason. He abandoned everything and hastily flew to Southeast Aciatic.
“I’ve taken care of things back home,” Zuko said softly. “I’ve sorted out the inventory in the store, and I’ll
only be away for a few days. Your parents said they would take care of the store, and Dave will help
too.
“Besides, with Violet’s scandal causing chaos among the Grists, they won’t have the energy to cause
trouble with us. So don’t worry. I’ll be here for you, and everything will be fine.”
“Lina…” Zuko held her cold hands. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Lina stopped crying, smiled, and yfully punched him. “You’re so annoying! Why didn’t you tell me
beforehand?”
“Would it still have been a surprise if I had told you in advance?” Zuko smiled and gently took out a
ne, putting it around her neck.
The pendant had a cluster of stars and was not particrly expensive. He had wanted to buy her a
more expensive one, but he didn’t think “Zeke” could afford it.
That’s why Zuko had chosen this one.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

However, even if he got her a ne made of ss, Lina would treasure it.
“Did you just arrive here?” Lina asked.
“Yes, I came to you as soon as I got off the ne,” Zuko replied.
“Do you… have your passport with you toe here?” Lina inquired.
“Um…” Zuko paused and made up an excuse. “I used to have one, and it hasn’t expired yet. They have
visa-on-arrival in Southeast Aciatic, so I got it after Inded.”
“Oh…” Lina, not familiar with the system, relied on her university for everything when she came here.
She didn’t have to worry about anything.
“Have you eaten?” Lina asked with her doe eyes. “Are you hungry? Did you bring enough clothes? Did
you—”
“We can talk about thatter!” Zuko interrupted with a smile. “It’s not toote now. Do you want to take
a walk? I’ll be yourpany!”
Lina pondered for a moment and realized she had been busy with the university’s activities since
arriving in Southeast Aciatic. She hadn’t had a chance to explore the city.
There were many tourist attractions, including the famous double-winged fireflies. Lina didn’t know
when she would have the opportunity to visit again if she missed it this time.
Looking down and smiling, Lina said, “There’s a ce I really want to go, but…”
“What ce is that?” Zuko asked.
“Forget it. I heard it’s a private park, and outsiders can’t enter!” she said.
Zuko smirked and asked the obvious question, “Where is it?”
“Sabe, the rainforest with double-winged fireflies!” Lina replied, smiling. “I read online that it’s not open
to the public, but someone managed to take some blurry pictures of it. Even though they’re blurry, you
can tell it’s like paradise on Earth!”
“You want to go?” Zuko asked.
“Even if I want to, I can’t!” Lina replied.
Zuko ced his hand on her chest, feeling the star pendant on her ne. “You have a wishing star
now. Is there any wish that can’te true?”
