Lena blushed and smiled as she followed Chris into the business class section.
Meanwhile, Bianca remained in her spot. Before she could even utter "Chris", the train attendant politely intercepted her. "Miss, these two seats are yours now. Please have a seat!"
"You..." Bianca blankly glared at her.
The train attendant bowed and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else I can assist you with?"
Bianca rolled her eyes repeatedly in frustration but ultimately sat down and turned to look out of the window.

This was Lena's first time in a business class section. She had never known that train carriages could be this spacious. Business class seats not only allowed her to sit comfortably, but she could also recline.
"How is it?" Chris asked with a smile.
It was not that Lena did not mind Bianca's presence. Her jealousy dissipated once she looked at Chris' face. Despite that, she still teased him with Bianca's tone. "Not bad at all, Chris!"
Chris was rendered speechless and felt beads of sweat forming on his nose.
"What's wrong, Chris?" Lena asked innocently, still with Bianca's tone, taking out a tissue and wiping his sweat. "Why are you so flustered? Did you do something wrong?"
Chris could not find the words to respond. He knew she was joking, so he held her hand.
"I'm not flustered," he said. "I just suddenly smelled something like jealousy."
Lena chuckled and tried to push him away, but he pulled her into his embrace. They lost their balance and fell onto the spacious seat together.
Chris gritted his teeth. 'Jackass Toph! I must ask Zuko to interrogate him!'

Toph came to Zuko's house with the newest toy to share it with his little niece. But when he walked in, he was met with an unusual sight.
Zuko and Lina sat on the sofa, smirking mysteriously.
Arya was in an armchair, looking helpless.
Toph's heart skipped a beat. He was direct but not foolish. He realized something. Thus, he smiled innocently and went to get Persephone from Lina.
To his amazement, the four-month-old baby waved at him and cooed.
