Zuko was involved in various activities with the family. He would send and pick up Lina from school, and she would assist at the store.Melissa would engage in conversations with him, while Jesse would pour him wine whenever he drank. Dave looked up to him and occasionally received fighting lessons from him. Overall, he felt connected with the family.However, Zuko noticed that Lina had been ignoring him lately. She would not turn her head to acknowledge him when entering the university gate as she used to.Moreover, she started leaving school later and would quickly walk ahead of him, keeping her head down. At home, she acted as if he didn't exist, and even at the store, she pretended he wasn't there. It was clear that she was deliberately avoiding him.This confused Zuko. They were fine just two days ago, so why was she pushing him away now? Could it be that all women were fickle-minded?Being accustomed to women approaching him whenever he was in a social setting, Zuko found it

“Oh, this?”Zuko took out what he was holding. It was a banknote.Lina was stunned at first. She only realized that it was not a banknote but a drawn one!It was just that the patterns and the lines were too real!Zuko could totally fool someone with that.Lina was dumbstruck and looked at him blankly.Zuko noticed the complex emotions flashing through her eyes at that second.Did she think that he was forging banknotes?Zuko chuckled. “Your father asked me if I could forge banknotes. I don’t, but I can draw them. I drew this, especially for you.”“For me?” asked Lina.“Mm-hmm.” He gestured and said, “Flip it over.”Lina flipped it over in doubt. The normal banknotes should have the location of the bank printed on the center-right side, but there were two alphabet characters in their place instead—LJ.Lina was confused at first and then stunned. She suddenly looked up. Zuko no longer looked unfathomable and cold like before. There was a strange warmth in his eyes now.“I d

"You!" Violet was mad from the humiliation and almost hit Lina. However, she held back as her classmates were watching.After all, she had been putting on the facade of a friendly and generous princess. If she really slapped her and those ill-intentioned people uploaded the clip onto the Internet, the facade she had put so much effort into would be completely ruined!Her lips quivered, and she tried her best to smile."Get over yourself, Lina!" Violet gnashed her teeth and enunciated each word. "Don't think you're safe just because you married that fool! I'll never let you go!"Lina glanced at her and continued reading as if nothing happened.Gia went to sit next to Lina and held her hand softly.Zuko stood at the door, having witnessed everything. Frowning in disgust, he cast a glance of disapproval at Violet. He then turned around and made his way to a quiet corner in the corridor, where he made a call, speaking softly. "Jacob, it's me."The latter was surprised as Zuko hardly

A hush fell over the students as the lecturer entered the classroom.It was a design theory class, and Lina had consistently excelled, earning praise for her homework numerous times.However, her heart was in disarray right now.Her gaze fixated emptily on her homework, her thoughts consumed by Zuko's presence as he entered the room.She absentmindedly touched her hair, still feeling the lingering warmth from his touch...A smile gradually spread across her face as she stared into space.What had he said before he left? He had mentioned bringing her lunch.For a moment, she was taken aback, revealing an awkward smile.How could that be possible? The store would be crowded at noon, and he was expected to remain there with her parents. How could he possibly find the time to bring her lunch? Moreover, did he even know how to cook?Perhaps he had simply said it without much thought.Yet, despite her skepticism, his words brought her joy.…Soon, It was noon, and the students we

Zuko licked his lips, feeling his throat dry. He was adept at concealing his emotions, never allowing them to show on his face.However, lying was not his strong suit. He had been forbidden from lying since childhood.Now, he found himself struggling to fabricate what might be the biggest lie of his life.Lina's eyes grew increasingly suspicious. "Zeke, a meal at that hotel could cost someone's entire annual income, so...""I did something, but it's not illegal," he replied, his voice deep, avoiding direct eye contact.In the past, he never looked people in the eyes because he simply didn't care. But now, he felt a pang of guilt, hence avoiding her gaze.Her anxiety grew instantly. "What did you do?"Zuko fell into a momentary silence. Immersing himself in the persona of "Zeke," he quickly brainstormed what kind of activity could have yielded such a large sum of money in a short period of time.Then, he remembered his uncle, a renowned actor, in Southeast Asia. Although Zuko wa
