"Jacob came for Gia today.
"He's actually Gia's boyfriend!
"Is he being deceived? Gia must have ulterior motives for dating him!
"You need to persuade him tactfully, don't let him fall deeper and lose himself. He'll be hurt badly!
"Zuko?"
Zuko snapped out of his daze and looked at Lina with a hint of complaint in his eyes.
Lina waved her hand in front of him. "What's wrong?"
He grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, caressing it, while he spoke with a hoarse and aggrieved voice. "You've been talking about Jacob all night long..."
Lina was taken aback. "Huh?"
"Can we stop mentioning him now?"
"Zuko, you—"
"I can't believe you're still worried about him getting hurt. By constantly talking about another man in front of me, I'm the one who's hurt the most!"
Lina widened her eyes in exasperation.
"Zuko!" She lightly punched him. "If he weren't your best friend, I wouldn't bother!"
Zuko smiled and gently embraced her, his large hand mischievously trailing along her slender waist and reaching her shoulder blades.
"Don't worry. Jacob is at least a prominent lawyer. He won't be easily deceived."
"But people in love have a negative IQ value."
"Hmm..." Zuko pondered for a moment. "It's hard for outsiders to judge matters of the heart. Let him go with the flow!"
"Zuko." Lina stopped in her tracks, surprised by his calm reaction. "You..."
"What about me?" The man smirked.
"Nothing." She shook her head. "You have a positive mindset!"
"That's for outsiders." Zuko leaned closer and breathed in the sweet fragrance on her, his voice deep. "When it comes to you... I have no mindset and no rationality. I can't think!"
