Jasmine shyly stretched out her tender hand to Charlie and said softly, "Master Wade, can you hold my hand, please? I'm afraid that I will fall..." Frankly, she wasn't afraid of falling. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Charlie.
Charlie took a glimpse at the stone staircase. It was indeed quite long and steep as it extended to the riverbank. Jasmine was a girl, and she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that limited her movements. It would be awful if she slipped and fell, so he took her delicate hand and led her carefully down the stone steps.

Charlie let go of Jasmine's hand when they arrived on the riverbank. He donned a warm smile as the cold breeze blew gently on his face and said, "Wow, this place is really nice." Jasmine smiled timidly. She fiddled with her long black hair at her ear and said, "I loved coming here when I was young. My dad was busy with work, so it was always my mom who broughthere every day." 1 Then, she gave a somewhat forlorn and sad sigh and continued, "At that time, my mom would drivehere, park the car at the sspot, and then takedown the sstone steps down here as she held my hand carefully, just like you did earlier." 6 Charlie nodded lightly.
He often thought of his parents when he was in the orphanage.
He wasn't as strong as he was now when he was young, so whenever he thought of them, he would hide under his blanket or in the secluded corner of the orphanage and cry. 8 As twent by, he slowly got used to the feelings and could control his emotions better.
The hard life back then had taught him many valuable lessons. For example, 'may the deceased rest in peace while the living must move on with their lives' and 'let bygones be bygones', i At this moment, Jasmine, who stood next to him, sighed. "This morning, I visited my parents' grave. It is unbelievable that they have been gone for more than a decade. My childhood memories are still vivid in my mind. I often have the illusion that I am my 8 or 9-year-old self again." 2 Charlie chuckled to himself and sighed lightly, "At least you can still visit your parents' graves. I don't even know where my parents are buried now." 6 "Huh?!" Jasmine gaped in shock. "How come? Is it because you can't find it? Or did something happen back then?" Charlie smiled bitterly and answered, "I was only eight when my parents died. Back then, I couldn't even take care of myself, I didn't know where I should sleep or when my next meal would be. I was unable to handle their funeral at all, but when I settled down and tried to look for them, I couldn't find them anymore." Charlie paused for a short while before continuing," But it is possible that my grandfather or someone from my family took my parents' bodies away.
However, I'm not so sure." 9 Jasmine couldn't help asking, "Master Wade, do you still have relatives?" Charlie nodded, "Yes, I do, but I'm not ready to meet them yet." i

Jasmine giggled and said, "By the way, Master Wade, do you still remember how we first met?"
Charlie laughed. "Of course! It was at Vintage Deluxe where my clumsy father-in-law broke one of your antique vases by mistake." 6
Jasmine nodded and said, "At that time, I was shocked by your repairing I man method, wondering how could an young man like you master such a last restoration technique. It was so good! But back then, never did imagine that it was just the tip of the iceberg. I never thought that you would helpso much more later..." X
