Smiling, Lina held onto Zuko’s arm and rested her head on his shoulder. In truth, seeing fireflies wasn’t a priority for
her as long as she had Zuko by her side.
“You’ve just arrived. You should rest,” Lina said, looking at him. “Hmm… Let me get you a hotel room.”
“No need!” Zuko replied, holding her hand and gently pressing his forehead against hers. “I can’t afford such an
expensive hotel.”
“Don’t tell me you came here empty-handed!” Lina exclaimed.
“I didn’t,” Zuko reassured her, showing his bag. “I brought clothes!”
“You…” Lina’s eyes widened as realization dawned on her. “Don’t tell me you want to sleep in the same room with
me?”
“Mm-hmm!” Zuko nodded earnestly. “That’s a great idea!”
“Zeke!” Lina exclaimed in disbelief.

leave me on the streets in this unfamiliar place?”
Lina gave him a stern look.
“I’m here.” Zuko continued, using his persuasive charm. “I spent all the money I saved for the plane ticket. If you
don’t let me stay with you, I’ll really have to sleep on the streets tonight…”
“Okay, okay!” Lina blushed and chuckled, pursing her lips. “Come with me!”
Zuko beamed happily, finally achieving his goal.
“Hey, let’s split up later. We don’t want to draw attention,” Lina suggested.
“Hmm, okay,” Zuko agreed.
“Follow me and run to the elevator!” Lina instructed.
Zuko nodded. “Got it.”
“Lower your cap, Zeke. We don’t want to attract any attention,” Lina advised.
Zuko smiled and complied with all her requests.
Lina walked ahead and instinctively lowered her head as she passed the hotel front desk. She discreetly signaled to
Zuko with her hand at her side, urging him to catch up.
However, Zuko purposely slowed down his pace, wanting to savor the sight of her nervous expression.
The front desk staff and the lobby manager were taken aback when they spotted Zuko. They questioned their
eyesight before confirming that it was indeed the young Count of the Irwins standing before them.
Although the Irwins were shareholders of the hotel, they had never been hosted there before. Whenever Zuko
visited Southeast Aciatic, he would stay at the Irwin Manor, the general’s estate, or even the palace. When would a
five-star hotel ever have the opportunity to accommodate him?
But today…
The manager tried to compose himself, his heart racing. There was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, and he
attempted to offer a respectful bow as if he had encountered the God of Fortune himself.

Meanwhile, Lina continued to hurry ahead of Zuko, oblivious to the commotion behind her.
Eventually, Zuko caught up with her, having given the manager a piercing look.
Lina only glanced back when they entered their room, feeling more at ease now, and let out a long sigh.
“According to Southeast Aciatic law, it’s illegal for two people to stay in the same room when I only registered one
person with the hotel!” Lina expressed her concern, but she noticed Zuko’s calm demeanor. He even went to the
refrigerator to grab a drink.
“Zeke…”
Zuko reassured her, “Don’t worry. They won’t find out I’m here.”
And even if they did, they wouldn’t dare take any action against him.
“So, are you going to hide here while I go to class tomorrow?” Lina asked.
“Hmm, sure.” Zuko chuckled, retrieving a blanket from the wall cabinet and casually draping it over the couch.
Lina smiled and approached him, wrapping her arms around him.
Zuko could hardly resist the temptation of holding such a beauty in his embrace. A fleeting thought of regret
crossed his mind. Why had he pretended to be noble and settled for sleeping on the couch?
“Zeke…”
