Chapter 1127


    On this rainy day, a rare moment of coolness, Zuko and Lina found themselves huddled in their room,


    engaging in various activities like painting, reading, and ying chess, thoroughly enjoying each


    other’spany.


    “Zuko, my parents mentioned that they’re nning to go back soon,” Lina shared.


    “What?” Zuko eximed, taken aback. “Why so suddenly?”


    “It’s not sudden!” Lina smiled mischievously, making a strategic move with a ck chess piece. “Looks


    like I’m going to win!”


    Zuko chuckled and surrendered, ying along.


    “What I mean is, why can’t they stay a few more days? There are still so many ces in Centrolis they


    haven’t visited yet.”


    “Well… maybe they feel they’ve already stayed long enough, and they still have the supermarket to


    take care of,” Zuko replied, his gaze dimming slightly. His expression became somewhatplex. He


    set the chessboard aside and led Lina to the bookshelf, retrieving a photo album.


    Curiosity sparked within Lina.


    In a gentle voice, Zuko said, “Since we’vee this far in our rtionship… I shouldn’t have any


    secrets from you.”


    “So, are you going to show me your childhood photos?” Lina asked yfully.


    Zuko gestured for her to open the album.


    She delicately flipped through the pages as if stepping into a magical time machine that transported her


    back to Zuko’s early years.


    She saw his one-month-old photo—a tiny, naked baby peacefully asleep, adorned only with a diaper.


    His three-month celebration photo—dressed in a vibrant red shirt, chubby hands and feet, a golden


    charm dangling around his neck.


    His one-year-old photo—sporting a shirt with a bowtie, gazing innocently at the camera like a round,


    plump dumpling.


    There were also his three and five-year-old photos—once he could run and jump, he fearlessly


    engaged in y and exploration.


    “This is Toph, right?” Lina pointed to a baby in one of the photos.


    “Yes, that’s him when he was just born.”

    “Then… who’s this?” Lina noticed another baby, slightly puzzled. “She’s wearing pink clothes, so she


    can’t be Toph, right? But I’ve never heard you mention having a sister or anything…”Books Chapters

    Zuko’s brow twitched as he calmly looked at her. “That’s a little girl. She was born when I was already


    in elementary school.”


    “Is she your cousin?” Lina inquired.


    “No.”


    “Then who is she?”


    Zuko moistened his lips and spoke slowly. “She… is the person I’ve been engaged to since birth.”


    Lina’s expression changed, and she stared at him nkly.


    Zuko’s voice quivered slightly. “Lina, keep flipping through the album.”


    “I don’t want to see any more,” Lina snapped, closing the album abruptly.


    Although her face didn’t reveal much, every pore of her being emitted a clear message to him—”I’m not


    happy!”


    Panicked, Zuko retrieved the album and started flipping through the pages himself.


    Simultaneously, he heard Lina’s voice filled with grievances. “You’re already engaged… Why did you


    come and pursue me?”


    “Lina—”


    “This girl muste from a wealthy family, right? You’re a perfect match, aren’t you? And you still keep


    her newborn photos all this time, you—”


    “Lina Jenner!”


    Zuko suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.


    Lina struggled vigorously but found herself spinning helplessly within his grasp.


    “That’s correct! She’s from the Thompsons, a wealthy heiress, and we were deemed apatible


    match!


    “And the reason I still keep her photos is that…”


    Zuko held Lina’s shoulders firmly, gazing directly into her eyes. “She’s standing right in front of me now,


    and I want her to see what she looked like as a child!”
