“Hmm?” Zuko regained his focus and rubbed her hair. “Nothing.”

“Did you hear what I just said?” she asked.

Bewildered, Zuko’s expression showed that he hadn’t heard a thing.

Lina smiled helplessly and repeated herself, “I said, don’t let my classmates know about your identity either, okay?”

“Oh…”

“I’m concerned that it might bring unnecessary trouble for you…”

Lina turned her face away, trying to appear nonchalant, but her voice was soft and barely audible.

Lina pouted, and Zuko saw through her little plan. He gently hugged her and pulled her back into his arms. “Don’t worry. None of those things you’re worried about will happen.”

“What are you saying…”

Zuko pressed his forehead against hers, giving her a faint smile, and whispered, “I’ll follow your lead.”
