Lina dedicated the entire night to reproducing The Fireflies’ Light.
After it dried, she proudly carried it to the university and placed it in the studio with a sense of grandeur.
The lecturer emphasized the importance of participating in the art exhibition during the lecture. “Joining the art
exhibition is not just about showcasing your talent. It’s an opportunity to refine your skills and push yourself beyond
your limits. And let me tell you, prestigious universities abroad are always on the lookout for outstanding works.
Your artwork could be handpicked, leading to scholarships and a life-changing milestone.”
…
With a smirk on her face, Lina secretly followed Violet after class.
As expected, Violet headed toward the studio. After cautiously surveying the surroundings, Violet entered and took
out her phone to capture numerous pictures of The Fireflies’ Light.
Shortly after, Violet hurriedly departed.
Meanwhile, Lina gathered evidence of Violet’s actions, just in case.
Suddenly, someone tapped Lina’s shoulder when she finished.

Gia chuckled and asked, “What are you doing here? Were you stalking a good-looking guy?”
“No…” Lina grabbed Gia’s arm.
Just as Lina was about to reveal her entire plan, she recalled Zuko’s words.
…
“Don’t tell anyone about this. Not even the closest person you know!”
Annoyance welled up within Lina at that time.
Her world had always been pure and untainted due to her parents’ protection. In her mind, sharing secrets with her
best friend was natural. She would also share the good news with her.
However, Zuko had advised her differently. “My mother taught me to keep some things to yourself. Don’t reveal
everything…”
“Gia isn’t just somebody else. She’s my best friend!” protested Lina.
“But… your mom doesn’t seem to like her!” retorted Zuko.
Lina found herself unable to resist his charm.
A gentle smile played on his lips as he casually brushed her messy hair behind her ear. At that moment, their hearts
raced, and their gazes locked. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them.
“No matter what… You have to listen to your mom,” he said, feigning a cough to hide his awkwardness. “Not
everyone is your friend. You need to be cautious, understand?”
Lina nodded, her face flushed and her ears turning red. The intensity of the moment lingered, etching a memory
she wouldn’t soon forget.
…
“Lina?” Gia waved at her. “Lina!”
“Huh!?”
“What’s wrong? Why did you pull my arm!?” asked Gia.
Lina tried to calm down. It was strange. Why would her heart race, and would she be distracted when she thought
about Zuko?
She looked at Gia. Although she really wanted to tell her about it, she decided to listen to Zuko. Thus, Lina
swallowed everything that she was going to say.

Gia thought Lina was being weird. She smiled helplessly, shook her head, and teased Lina. “Hey, we’re keeping
secrets now?”
“No, I’m just hungry!” said Lina.
“Let me remind you of this!” Gia held her hand and smiled. “You have a husband. Don’t flirt with other good-looking
guys in university! I’ll watch you for your door guardian!”
“What are you saying, Gia!” Lina denied it, but she was blushing. They were shoving each other and laughing while
they walked.
However, Gia suddenly stopped before they arrived at the cafeteria and took out her phone. Something seemed
wrong.
Lina looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…” Gia tried to calm down and said with a smile, “Go queue first, Lina. Order the same food you’re going
to order for me. I need to return a call!”
“Oh.” Lina did not think too much about it and walked in directly.
Gia looked around nervously and bit her lip before quickly running into a quiet corner nearby.
