When he took her hand, it brought Jasmine a wave of genuine happiness and delight.


    As they approached the steep stone steps, Charlie raised his hand and offered, “I’d better hold your hand as we go up.”


    Jasmine’s heart swelled with the sweet blend of shyness and excitement typical of young love. With a bright smile, she extended her hand, allowing him to take it.


    Like a bashfulmb, she followed closely behind him, ascending the steps one at a time.


    Once they reached the car, Jasmine’s lovely face glowed with a shy pink hue, her heart racing due to her nerves and bashfulness.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a hint of frenzy, she started the engine and said, “Master Wade, I’ll take you home now.”


    Charlie nodded, and Jasmine maneuvered the car back onto the main road.


    They crossed a bridge and soon arrived at the entrance of the Thompson First vi area.


    As the car came to a halt, Charlie expressed, “Thank you for the ride.”


    Jasmine replied quickly, “Oh, you’re very wee, Master Wade.”


    “Just be sure to drive safely on your way back,” Charlie reminded her.


    “Of course, I will.” Jasmine nodded, albeit a bit reluctantly. Just as Charlie reached for the door handle to exit, she panicked and eximed, “Master Wade, wait!”


    Charlie pulled back his hand and asked, “Yes? What is it?”


    With a hint of shyness, Jasmine replied, “I still have a present I want to give you.”


    Chuckling softly, Charlie said, “It’s your birthday today; why are you preparing a gift for me?”


    Jasmine fumbled over her words, saying, “Well, it’s a rather special gift. I’ve wanted to give it to you for quite some time, but I never found the right moment.”


    Charlie smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll thank you in advance.”

    “Sure.” Charlie didn’t think twice about it. Understanding that girls often enjoyed a bit of ceremony, he closed his eyes without hesitation.


    Momentster, Charlie felt a gentle pair of lips press against his own!


    Not only were her lips soft, but they also carried a unique sweetness. Instead of pulling back immediately, Jasmine lingered, keeping her lips against his.


    Charlie was utterly taken aback! Instinctively, he opened his eyes and found himself gazing into Jasmine’s beautiful eyes, which were so close.


    He never anticipated that Jasmine would kiss him…


    For a brief moment, he thought about pulling away or gently pushing her back, but deep down, he felt a whirlwind of emotions—confusion and struggle.


    Caught in this tangled web of feelings, he found himself frozen, unable to respond.


    The kiss from Jasminested for a full minute…
