Lina had not just heard them. It was obvious she had also misunderstood—evident from her gaze on Jacob!
Zuko could not help but burst into laughter.
Jacob panicked and was about to explain, but Zuko interrupted him. “Yeah, Jacob, don’t come looking for me
anymore! I really can’t do that kind of thing you mentioned!”
Jacob was at a loss for words.
‘Damn it!’ Jacob widened his eyes, doubtful and exasperated.
Lina’s heart warmed, and she tightened her grip on Zuko’s arm.
Zuko smiled at her, then fixed his serious gaze on Jacob. “I know you wanted me to join you in this line of work back

“Zu—”
“Perhaps you should also consider your own future!”
Jacob’s nostrils flared as he panted heavily.
Zuko struggled to contain his laughter, feeling his stomach ache. He confidently led Lina to stroll by the seaside,
leaving the shocked Jacob.
Not long after they left, Zuko’s phone buzzed incessantly with messages.
Jacob: [Hamerton, you owe me compensation for damages to my reputation!]
Jacob: [Bro, I’m begging you, explain to Lina. How am I a f*cking male escort?!]
Jacob: [You’ve completely destroyed my lifelong innocence in just one night!]
Zuko chuckled softly and replied: [Handle Violet’s matter nicely, and I’ll consider clearing your name!]
He then turned off his phone and focused on accompanying Lina to watch the sea.
The deep blue ocean connected with the night sky, with countless stars intertwined with the distant lights.
Zuko glanced down and saw that the girl’s hand was still linked with his arm, unsure if she had forgotten it or if she
had done it intentionally. He preferred to believe it was the latter.
He chortled, and the sound reminded Lina.
She paused briefly with a blush and released her hand, softly apologizing, “I’m sorry, I forgot.”
Zuko suddenly felt like the air had lost its sweetness.

Lina looked into his eyes. “Um… Also, was I rude to your friend just now?”
“No, why would you say that?” he asked.
Lina elaborated, “I shouldn’t judge your relationship based on his occupation as a male escort. Everyone has their
own way of making a living. Maybe he has his reasons for being one!”
“Or maybe, he has willingly chosen to follow that profession.” Zuko continued to smile.
Jacob had always been quick-witted back in university, and Zuko had never won an argument against him. Zuko
never expected he would be able to tease him like this one day!
“Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore,” Zuko said softly. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back and rest.”
Lina nodded.
This time she walked in front with him watching her from behind.
Zuko’s phone vibrated again. It was another message from Jacob.
Jacob: [Bro, you nearly flummoxed me tonight. There’s something important I didn’t mention… I visited Centrolis a
few days ago, and your parents hope you can go back for a visit!]
