Lina looked at him, her heart skipping several beats, and the warmth of his lips seemed to linger on hers.
Zuko's hand lightly brushed against her ear, tucking away the stray hair behind it. He liked looking at her face like this—clean and refreshing with delicate features. The small mole at the corner of her eye was like an embellishment unlike any other in the world.
His thumb caressed her cheek gently, tender and affectionate.
"Z-Zeke, you..." Lina's mind went blank.
Was he confessing his feelings to her? Did he also like her?
A confession like this was too direct...
She had never been in a relationship before, and she did not know what other people's confessions were like. She only knew that her whole body was bubbling in pink, and her heart was filled with sweetness. However, her rationale told her that she should be reserved and not giggle too exaggeratedly as a girl.
Hence, she gave a shallow smile with a lowered head, casting her eyes downward. Her long eyelashes cast shadows on her fair skin, making her look like a beautiful painting.
Zuko's blood boiled. He did not understand if this was what they called the feeling of love, but if possible, he wanted to freeze this moment in eternity.
"Lina..." He said hoarsely, "By doing this, can you understand my feelings?"
The young woman blushed and smiled, intentionally shaking her head.
"You don't?" Zuko was taken aback. "I've done all this, and you still don't understand what I mean?"
"Go away..." She gently pushed him.
Zuko was dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he had done countless research on high-quality Q&A websites before this and had learned a bit about romantic relationships. They seemed to say that when a girl said "no", it meant "yes", and when a girl said "go away", it meant "hold me tight"...
He curled his lips slightly and suddenly embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms once again.
Lina was completely captivated at this point. Her small face turned crimson, and she could not look at him, but she secretly hoped he would do something more...
Zuko's deep gaze lingered on her face, his low voice carrying a hint of amusement. "Lina, I have a question for you."
