Zuko glanced at the photos, a smile forming on his face. He recognized the landscapes depicted and realized that the next stop on the bus route would likely be the Irwin Manor. Lina had no idea that the artist behind the firefly painting she had once copied resided there.
Filled with excitement, Lina's friend Keira leaned over to get a glimpse of the photos and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Are you sending those to your husband?" Keira teased.
Blushing slightly, Lina sheepishly nodded and smiled.
Keira glanced up at the luggage rack. Other students had multiple large suitcases, some still being delivered, as if they were trying to bring their entire homes with them. In contrast, Lina had only a small carry-on suitcase that seemed to hold everything she needed.
Whispering to Lina, Keira asked, "Did you bring everything you need?"
Lina replied uncertainly, "I... I think so."
"What do you mean you think so?" Keira was taken aback and kindly reminded her, "Lina, we'll be staying here for a month! The lifestyle here is different from ours, and if you're missing something, it might not be easy to find a suitable replacement!"
Chuckling, Lina admitted, "Actually, I don't even know what I packed. My husband packed my luggage for me. He said these things would be enough and asked me to travel light!"
Keira's eyes widened in surprise. "You actually let him pack for you?"
"He's my husband. Why wouldn't I trust him?" Lina replied.
"Has he been to Southeast Aciatic before?" Keira found Lina's blind trust amusing. "You must really have faith in him to let him handle your packing!"
Now Lina was left pondering. Had Zeke ever been to Southeast Aciatic? Probably not.
But despite that, he had sounded so certain when he packed her bags, assuring her that those items would be sufficient. She naturally believed him, as her husband was always right.
Besides, she had never traveled abroad before and had no idea what to bring. Having someone take care of her packing had given her a sense of comfort. However, Keira's reminder suddenly made her realize that she might have been careless.
"Darling, it seems like I didn't bring enough," Lina quickly sent a voice message to Zuko. "I see other students with multiple large suitcases, and I'm the only one with a small one..."
"Others are here to shop rather than learn. Why would you need large suitcases if you're not planning to shop?" A piercing voice suddenly interjected.
