Chapter 1287


    “Let me exin.” Chris chuckled. “My real name is Crius. I realized it sounded too feminine when I


    joined my unit, so I changed it to Chris!”


    “That’s right. He’s the only one in the family who dared to change his name,” Zuko said, chuckling. “Our


    great-grandfather named us, and Chris just went ahead and changed it!”


    Chris shrugged. “A name is just an insignia. As long as people remember it, it should be fine. Am I


    right, Ms. Harding?”


    He looked at Lena, who had been quiet all this while.


    Meanwhile, Lena’s mind seemed to be elsewhere. After a moment, she nced at him nkly and


    asked, “Did you call me?”


    Chris faked a chuckle. “Who else would it be? You’re the only one with thest name Harding here.”


    “Oh,” she replied tly. “I’m not used to people calling me that.”


    “Well…”


    “Didn’t you say that a name is just an insignia?” Lena’s expression remained unchanged. “Lena is my


    insignia.”


    She lifted her head to look at him, revealing her beautiful face under the cap.


    She appeared to be a properdy with her lovely features, fair skin, and quiet demeanor.Books

    However, he couldn’t forget her fearless heroism when they fought Albert together in uniform the other


    day.


    A strange feeling gripped Chris’s heart—a feeling he had never experienced before.


    “Lena?” he said softly. “How do I spell that?”


    “Lena.”


    “Lenny?”


    “What did you say?” She raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing repulsion.


    “Oh, sorry,” Chris quickly corrected himself. “I just thought it would be a nice endearment… Can I call


    you that from now on?”


    “No,” she rejected coldly, not even bothering to look at him.


    Nobody apart from Lina could call her that.


    Chris’ expression changed as he was surprised by the rejection.


    Feeling awkward, heughed at himself and turned around to get a chilled drink.


    “Hey… Don’t just stand there!” Jacob came to the rescue. “We barbecued so much food. Why aren’t


    you guys eating? It’s getting cold!”


    “Oh yes, let’s eat!”


    “Get me a steak, Jacob!”


    Everyone resumed talking, and Toph approached Chris, grabbing his shoulders as he whispered, “Just


    admit it, bro!”

    “Her!” Toph signaled with his eyes. “Apart from Pammy, nobody could get to Lena!”


    Chris was stunned and pondered over it. It seemed to be true.


    He noticed that she would dodge when Toph tried to grab her while sitting aside. However, she was


    comfortable with Lina’s touch.


    And now…


    She remained alert to everything happening around her but seemed rxed only when she was with


    Lina.


    He was confused. “Why is Pammy so special?”


    However, their conversation was interrupted by a cold voice from behind.


    “She’s special. Do you have something to say about that?”


    Both men jumped in surprise!


    They turned their faces and noticed Lena standing behind them in the stream. She was pulling up her


    pants, wearing a subtle smile on her face.
