Zuko’s heart raced, and his ears buzzed, but he tried to contain his excitement. A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. Lina couldn’t bear to be away from him?

With a wholehearted grin and gleaming eyes, he felt satisfaction as if he had the whole world.

“Why are you laughing?” Lina blushed and stood up, ready to run away. But Zuko grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace without saying a word.

“Two weeks… still too long.” Lina leaned against his chest.

Lina felt a sense of fear. She realized she was becoming increasingly attached to Zuko. Even a day without him made her anxious and uneasy, let alone two weeks.

“Lina, a woman should have her own world, be independent, strive for self-improvement, and pursue what she loves. That’s what constitutes a complete life.”

Lina was stunned. Perhaps it was because she had been overly protected since childhood, or maybe it was because Jesse and Melissa had limited education and had never talked to her about such things. The best they could do was send her to this prestigious university to “broaden her horizons,” but they had no clear understanding of the world she would see.
