“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 didn’t know what I could give you, so I thought I’d give you this,” he explained in a deep voice, pursing his lips. “I hope that… you’d like it.”
He had never said such things before, so his tone was rather stiff.
Lina looked down and smiled. She put the “banknote” in the drawer and said after a while, “I accept it. Is there anything else?”
“Oh, that’s all.” He kept scratching his nose.
Lina did not look at him, but his presence lingered in the air.
