Zuko looked at Lina with a particularly cheerful smile. “I said, I love you!”
Lina froze as tears welled up in her eyes. Zuko held her hand, and his presence gave her an infinite sense of
security. Despite the high altitude, she did not need to worry at all because he was the parachute that would never
be absent in her life.
After a safe landing, Lina was still immersed in the excitement and could not get enough of it. However, it was
almost noon, and Zuko suggested that they have lunch first.
Lina looked around. They had landed in the suburbs, with a long road behind them and the vast sea in front. There
were few people there, and it seemed that there would be even fewer restaurants.
“Follow me.” Zuko held her hand and said. “I know a place where you’ll definitely get delicious food!”
Lina chuckled. “Zuko, can I ask you a question?”
“Hmm?”

able to stump you?”
Zuko glanced at her, feigning mystery. “I am not telling you!”
“Zuko!”
“If I tell you everything, I won’t be mysterious anymore,” Zuko said. “And if I’m not mysterious, you might not want
me anymore.”
Lina widened her eyes in disbelief. “You’re being childish.”
Zuko looked aggrieved. “Lina, will you not want me anymore?”
Lina teased him, “Yes!”
“That won’t do!” Zuko hugged her frantically. “Lina, I’m yours for life or death. You said you would never leave me.
You can’t go back on your word.”
Lina giggled as she pushed Zuko away, but he kept coming back to her. Finally, he held her tightly and refused to let
go.
“What would the people from Hamerton Group think if they saw you like this?” Lina asked, blinking her big eyes.
“They’d think I’m undoubtedly my father’s biological son,” Zuko replied.
Lina was confused. “What do you mean?”
Zuko smirked and spoke next to her ear. “You can ask my mom about it after we get married!”
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to a farmhouse restaurant. Lina found it intriguing. She would often
go to small restaurants in Jangasas, but they were all in the city. This was her first time coming to a farmhouse
restaurant in the suburbs.
This place used to be a small fishing village, surrounded by mountains and facing the sea. The scenery was
beautiful. The restaurant owner seized the business opportunity of farmhouse dining and made a lot of money.
Other villagers followed suit, and the coastal area became a hotspot for farmhouse dining. However, this first
restaurant was still the most authentic and genuine one.

“This is a place I accidentally discovered when I was skydiving with Toph,” Zuko told Lina with a smile. “We used to
come here often after that. The grilled fish and shrimps here are exceptional. You have to try them!”
The owner seated them at an open table under a straw roof, so it was not scorching hot.
Lina sat down and was immediately captivated by the scenery. The boundless ocean, the freely flying seagulls, the
vast land, and the breezy weather all made her feel like time had stopped.
Unexpectedly, the owner pulled Zuko to the side and mysteriously offered him a plate of grilled oysters.
“What’s this?” Zuko was taken aback.
“Grilled oysters!” the owner grinned mischievously.
“New dish?”
“It’s especially for you!” The owner patted his shoulder, beaming. “Bro, you’ll need the nourishment!”
Zuko nearly choked on the grilled fish.
Did he look like he needed nourishment!?
