Then, just as Stefanie sun had done earlier, Tawanaced her fingers with charlie Wade’s, holding his hands tightly. As they walked hand in hand to the front of the stage, the camera zoomed in and projected Tawana’s face onto the big screen. She appeared surprisingly shy, her fingers nervously clutching the hem of her skirt like a bride on her wedding day.


    Tawana had always been bold and uninhibited on stage, often dressing in daring styles. Who would have thought she’d suddenly seem like a delicate and bashful girl?


    Still holding charlie Wade’s hand, she sang her part of the duet.


    With only one line left in the song, Stefanie sun stepped forward to harmonize with her, singing a different melody.


    Originally, the performance was meant to end with that final line, after which Stefanie sun would bow to the audience and conclude her guest appearance.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    But to everyone’s surprise, the moment Tawana sang thest note, she suddenly rose on tiptoe, lifted her head, and kissed charlie Wade on the lips of his mask!


    Though the mask was firm, it had been on charlie Wade’s face for several minutes and had already grown slightly warm. Tawana kissed him passionately, separated from him by only the thin material of the mask—catching charlie Wadepletely off guard.


    The audience nearly erupted in shock and excitement!


    Despite her sultry stage persona, Tawana had never disyed such intimate behavior with a dancer before.


    This was a bold, intentional kiss!


    And even with the mask, it was just a thinyer—enough to create a charged, ambiguous atmosphere that filled the entire venue and left everyone stunned.


    Stefanie sun stood frozen for a moment—but quickly regained herposure.


    She had long noticed Tawana’s hidden feelings of restraint and insecurity around charlie Wade. There was no way Tawana would pass up this rare chance to express what she truly felt inside.


    The audience broke into thunderous apuse. Most believed that Tawana’s uninhibited kiss was simply a result of being deeply immersed in the emotion of the performance.


    After all, the song portrayed the reunion of an assassin and his lover after enduring endless hardships and life-and-death struggles. At such a moment, passion and desperation would naturally peak—so her emotional disy seemed understandable.


    But soon, people began to sense something unusual.


    If Tawana’s kiss had only been driven by the mood of the performance, then why, even after the song ended, did she remain in that same posture—still holding the dancer, still lost in the moment?


    She even unconsciously wrapped her arms around the dancer dressed as the assassin, as though unwilling to let go.


    The camera continued capturing close-up shots of Tawana’s face, disying high-definition images on the big screen for the entire audience to see. Tens of thousands watched in awe as silent tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.


    It was as if she feared the man before her would vanish again. She clung to him, kissed him, and wept as if time had stopped.


    The crowd was stunned.


    Even Tawana’s agent stood frozen in disbelief.


    Only one thought echoed in her mind: How the hell am I supposed to write the press release for this? How can I spin this to keep the narrative on track and avoid suspicion?


    Your unrequited love is way too obvious, isn’t it?


    Sister, if you really wanted to kiss him, couldn’t you have waited until he took off his mask backstage?


    You did this in front of tens of thousands of people! That clip’s probably going viral on short video tforms around the world in minutes. You’ve guaranteed yourself a global trending spot. Great for you—but what about me?


    Don’t forget—you still have a boyfriend. He’s back in the U.S. right now!
