Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2989 An Incredibly Beautiful First Kiss

The scent, so close yet so far, mingled with the refreshing, delicate fragrance of a post-bath bath, lingered subtly around Charlene's nose.

Her heart suddenly raced, as if she were going crazy.

Her instinct was to back away.

But then I realized that the two of them were now officially a couple.

The person in front of her was her boyfriend.

In this private space where only the two of them are alone, it seems understandable that some inappropriate thoughts might surface in their minds.

So, she mustered her courage, tilted her fair face slightly upward, and placed a light kiss on his well-defined chin.

I was just nervous and didn't think too much about it.

Now, she suddenly wants to kiss her boyfriend.

Shi Ye was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.

Then, a slight smile played on his lips as he let out a low, pleasant chuckle. "What kind of kiss is that?"

His voice was gentle, with a hint of teasing, as he continued, "Let's try something we haven't tried before."

Before he could finish speaking and before Charlene could react, he had already leaned down and approached her.

A real, passionate kiss landed on her soft lips.

This was the first truly meaningful kiss they shared tonight after confessing their feelings for each other.

At this moment, it seemed as if all emotions had found their home.

Charlene's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, pounding against her chest and making her eardrums buzz.

Her mind went blank, as if the whole world had suddenly lost its color and sound.

The only thing he could feel was the person in front of him, their soft touch, and the scorching heat coming from all directions.

The sweetness of first love and the thrill of facing her beloved intertwined in her heart, stirring up wave after wave of emotions.

In that dazed and tense moment, the two shared a shy yet incredibly beautiful kiss.

At the end, Charlene was slightly out of breath, her eyes moist as if veiled by a thin layer of mist, which made her look exceptionally beautiful under the lamplight.

Shino's gaze was deep and profound, as if it contained the starlight of an entire night.

His breathing was a little heavy, and his warm breath brushed against her cheek.

He even raised his hand and lightly brushed his fingertips against the corner of her rosy lips.

The movement was gentle and restrained, as if touching some fragile dream.

Charlene blushed furiously, but her heart felt sweet and content, as if it were soaked in honey.

Shi Ye let out a low, hoarse chuckle.

No wonder everyone in my family, whether they're dating or married, is so lovey-dovey.

It turns out that doing this kind of thing with someone you like feels so wonderful.

However... they had only just started dating, and they were both still a little shy and awkward.

Therefore, they only scratched the surface and stopped there, without taking any further action.

Even so, it was enough to satisfy both of them.

After a while, their heartbeats gradually calmed down.

Shi Ye gently rubbed her head and softly reminded her, "It's getting late, time to go back and rest?"

Charlene was already very satisfied with her day, so she nodded obediently, stood up and said, "Yes, goodnight, Ye-ge."

After saying that, she left the room.

Shi Ye saw the person to the door and softly replied, "Good night."

Charlene walked briskly back to her room.

After entering the room, Xia Lin lay on the bed, cupped her face in her hands, and couldn't help but laugh.

She kept replaying the events of the evening in her mind, every detail of which she found incredibly precious.

Today was the happiest and most fulfilling day she had experienced in a long time.

She turned off the light after a while.

Let those sweet images accompany her into her dreams, and she slept soundly and comfortably.

Early the next morning.

The group got up one after another.

After breakfast, they packed their gear and prepared to set off to find plant specimens.

Charlene was quite familiar with the area and volunteered to lead the way.

Shino followed closely beside her.

Because it requires going into the mountains, you will inevitably encounter rugged and difficult trails and steep slopes along the way.

When Xia Lin was injured, Shi Ye, as her boyfriend, naturally took meticulous care of her and stayed by her side the whole time.

Halfway there, Shi Ye simply took Xia Lin's hand and led her forward step by step.

As insiders, Masie and Zhou Si were already used to this intimate scene.

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Bai, however, were unaware that the two were already together.

They assumed that they were still in the ambiguous stage and had not yet officially established a relationship.

Upon seeing the two walking hand in hand, seemingly inseparable, Xiao Zhi was immediately puzzled.

He couldn't help but lower his voice and mutter to Xiaobai beside him, "These days, are people who have crushes so openly about it?"

Even young couples in the throes of new love don't hold hands as tightly as they do, do they?

Xiao Bai understood in just a few seconds and said with a smile, "You wouldn't understand, would you?"

This stage is called the ambiguous period! It's all about the thrill of being secretive, close yet distant.

"Is this really the case?"

Xiao Zhi frowned, looking suspicious, clearly having reservations about this statement.

Xiao Bai, acting like someone who's been there, patiently persuaded them: "Look at those two, they clearly have feelings for each other, they're just one step away from confessing."

This situation is actually the most delicate; you absolutely mustn't disturb them, just let it develop naturally.

Xiao Zhi remained skeptical.

Seeing that Xiaobai spoke logically and persuasively, he ultimately did not press the matter further.

Soon after, the group entered the mountains and began searching for the target plant specimens.

The whole process went surprisingly smoothly.

Everyone worked together and quickly collected a considerable number of the required samples.

Midway through the journey, the group found a flat, shady spot to stop, rest, and have a bite to eat.

Everyone took out food from their bags and ate while chatting.

Just then, Shi Ye picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and naturally brought it to Xia Lin's mouth.

Charlene smiled, her eyes crinkling, and opened her mouth to accept the fruit that Shino offered.

The entire movement was fluid and natural, as if the two were already so familiar with each other that no words were needed.

Xiao Zhi looked on with suspicion, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He whispered to Xiaobai beside him, "Is it okay to feed someone like this during the ambiguous stage of a relationship?"

Why do I feel like Shi Ye is acting so tactlessly, like he's a completely different person? Where did his aloofness go?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Xiaobai couldn't help but suppress a laugh.

He leaned closer and continued to flatter, saying, "Isn't this how it always is during the ambiguous stage? What's so strange about it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than something even more astonishing happened to Xiao Zhi.

Charlene and Shino acted as if nothing had happened and drank from the same bottle of water.

Xiao Zhi finally couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at them, questioning Xiao Bai, "What about this? Sharing a bottle of water is normal during the ambiguous stage?"

Xiao Bai retorted confidently, "What's the big deal? Haven't you ever shared a bottle of water with a friend? Don't make such a fuss!"
