Chapter 1077


    Zuko pressed Lina against the wall, emanating a dangerous and seductive aura. “Do you know how


    long I’ve been waiting for you today?” he asked with a hint of sadness in his hoarse voice, causing Lina


    to smile.


    “10 hours, 32 minutes, and 56 seconds!” Zuko imed.


    “Quite precise,” Lina remarked.


    “Of course.” Zuko tilted his chin. “Don’t you think you should make it up to me?”


    As Zuko’s lips drew closer to Lina’s, she suddenly interrupted him with a finger, preventing their kiss.


    “I’ll make it up to you,” Lina said with a mysterious smile. “I’ll take you to see fireflies!”


    “Huh?” Zuko questioned.


    “The ce I mentioned yesterday,” Lina exined.


    Zuko was stunned. Lina could actually ess the ce she had talked about yesterday?


    Lina grabbed his neck with both hands and whispered excitedly, “My ssmate told me today that


    although it’s a private garden, there’s a path at the back that leads to the rainforest!”


    “What?” Zuko’s lips twitched, shocked by the revtion.


    However, Lina interpreted his reaction as excitement and proudly smiled at him. “What do you think?


    My n isn’t too bad, right? I was initially skeptical when she told me, but I found many people saying


    the same thing when I searched online…


    “Look!” Lina pulled out a draft she had scribbled and showed it to him.


    “I drew this based on the descriptions I found online. This is the roughyout…” Lina pointed at the


    scribble. “We’ll start from here, then go here… This is the Sabe rainforest. The only ce with double-


    winged fireflies!”


    Zuko gazed at Lina with adoration in his eyes.


    Little did Lina know that some people on the Inte would say anything for attention. How could it be


    possible for Irwin Manor to have suchx security?


    Zuko looked at the drawing. The so-called path at the back was simply the long route to reach the


    rainforest. There were no guards, but advanced infrared rms and positioning systems were in ce.

    However…


    Since Lina was so eager to go, he would naturally fulfill her wish.


    “Zeke!” Lina grabbed his arm. “Were you even listening?”


    “Yes, I was,” he replied.


    Lina smiled and sighed.


    “What’s wrong?” Zuko asked.


    She cupped her cheeks. “I’m thinking… It’s someone else’s private property, and it wouldn’t be right for


    us to sneak in… But I really want to see the fireflies.”


    “Well… The garden may be private, but the rainforest and the fireflies belong to Mother Nature. They


    should be for all humanity! No one can im ownership,” Zuko said with a smile. “So it’s not wrong for


    us to have a look.”

    Zuko then added, “Also, Irwin Manor happened to include the rainforest when they built the garden.


    They can’t take away our right to appreciate nature, right?”


    “Mm-hmm…” Lina blinked her doe-like eyes. “What you’re saying does make sense.”


    Zuko pressed his forehead against hers, a contented smile on his face. “Since it makes sense, let’s


    go!”


    “Okay!” Lina nodded. “But give me a minute! Southeast Aciatic is so hot. I’ve been everywhere today,


    and I’ve been sweating a lot… Let me take a shower!”


    “Hey, Lina,” Zuko called out.


    “What?” Lina asked.


    Zuko grabbed her wrist and raised his eyebrows mischievously. “Can I join you in the shower?”


    Lina yfully moved his hand away and quickly went into the bathroom, grabbing fresh clothes and a


    towel.


    Zuko chuckled as he heard her lock the door and the sound of water. He reached the far corner of the


    bathroom and dialed a number on his phone. “Grandpa, can you… turn off the infrared rm in the


    backyard? Yes, right now!”
