Zuko’s face was as dark as the inked squid in the owner’s aquarium. The owner’s smile changed from mischievous to forced, then to a grimace. He then carried the plate of oysters to other customers.

Zuko pursed his lips in exasperation. The oysters were freshly caught that morning, large, meaty, and perfectly grilled—undoubtedly delicious. But what would he do after eating them? His libido would be boosted, yet he would have no outlet to release it.

He turned to look at Lina, who was eating a small scallop. She chuckled softly when the delicate tip of her nose lightly touched the shell. The sparkling sea reflected her profile, and her eyes were filled with all the beauty in the world.

Zuko’s heart raced a little as he licked his dry lips. He barely suppressed certain thoughts. He sat back beside her, but the fish didn’t taste as good as before

“What were you doing just now?” Lina said with a smile, “So many delicious dishes were served. I’ll finish them all if you don’t start eating!”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” He looked at her and said, “Don’t just focus on eating. Have some drinks, too.”

Lina resisted a bit, resting her chin on both hands. “Don’t mention drinks to me now. I have a trauma about it!”

“Silly girl.” Zuko ruffled her hair, smiling. “Don’t worry. I’ve already asked for it to be investigated. The results will be out soon.”

“Are you so sure?” Lina asked.

“I found an expert in this field!”

Zuko peeled a blanched shrimp and put it on her plate.

Lina suddenly thought of someone after seeing how confident Zuko looked. “You’re talking about Fred, aren’t you?”

Zuko froze amidst peeling another shrimp and looked at Lina with a somewhat complicated expression.

He wondered how she had figured it out so suddenly. There was no mystery left for her now.
