Murong Yunxi was in a daze. Everyone set their eyes on her. There was a bright light shining at her. The numerous pairs of scorching gaze were like small lasers, they caused her to feel like they were looking through her through tiny holes on her body.
At that moment, she was going berserk. Who could tell her what was going on? Was this a prank show?
She turned to Gong Yu and pleaded with her eyes. He came forward and put his hand over her shoulder. Just one look from him and she was already feeling much more at peace.
When the host saw Gong Yu, her eyes lit up in different colors and the rabbit in her heart started hopping all over the place.
The host spoke with some excitement, "Can this handsome man please come up on stage with the lady? You guys are our first pair of contestants."
Gong Yu made Niannian sit on a chair beside the stage and led Murong Yunxi up the stage.
Just as they took their places on stage, the host walked towards Gong Yu. She continued to take two steps nearer even when she was close enough for him to catch a whiff of her perfume. She gently patted his arm intentionally, but also unintentionally at the same time. "Hey handsome, how can I address you? You look really familiar!"
Gong Yu"s brows twitched a little. He quietly moved closer towards Murong Yunxi.
"We just arrived and did not know that there"s an event here. Can you first explain to us what the event is about?"
Gong Yu was modest and polite; he performed the act of gentleness and elegance perfectly. It was very unlike his usual cold self. The host was already attracted to his charm and did not realize that he had successfully steered the conversation away. Being love-struck, she even answered his question pa.s.sionately.
The host smiled ever so brightly and looked at Gong Yu with hearts in her eyes. "It"s like this, today is our hotel"s anniversary. The theme for this year is romantic and gentle. We are now having a compet.i.tion to find the best partner. Not only can the winner enjoy a free meal on us, but they can also win a big mystery gift. We are now picking five random pairs of contestants from the crowd. You are so lucky to be picked as the first one."
Murong Yunxi could tell that the host was trying to seduce him. She was actually feeling very uncomfortable.
After being reminded by a staff member, the host finally realized that the most important thing to do right now was to pick another four pairs. Since time was running out, she could only temporarily give up on the opportunity to talk to Gong Yu.
Following which, the stage light started moving around again. In just a short while, another four couples were picked and they came onto the stage one after another.
The host spoke once again, "I will now read the rules of the compet.i.tion again." "Our compet.i.tion is actually very simple, it is to see which couple can kiss for the longest duration. But since time is limited, we have added another level of difficulty. The female cannot touch the ground. Once the female touches the ground or if the two lips are separated, then it"ll be considered a fail. Those who succeed can move on to our next round. The remaining last pair will then become our best couple for today and can receive the big mystery gift. "
After listening to the rules of the game, Murong Yunxi scratched her head. She had no desire to take part in such a stupid game. She frowned and told the host in a very conflicted voice, "I don"t want to take part in this, we give up."
The host was very surprised. She did not think that anyone would give up. Most importantly, there were so many couples; it must definitely not be this one! For one, Gong Yu was very handsome. Although he was already taken, just talking to him and standing next to him made her feel very satisfied, so she really wanted Gong Yu to stay on the stage longer.
The host pinned her hopes on Gong Yu. "Hey handsome, what do you think?"
He glanced at Murong Yunxi and replied faintly, "I respect my wife"s opinions."
Gong Yu was actually looking forward to kissing Murong Yunxi for a long time, so he was not against the game. However, the host was head over heels for him and it made him very uncomfortable. Hence, he chose the most neutral stand.
Hearing that Gong Yu also wanted to give up, the host immediately refused to do her job. She tried to talk some sense into him. "Handsome, this event provides you with the opportunity to show your love publicly, and you can also have the chance to get a big mystery gift and a free meal. Don"t you want to give your loved one a surprise?"
Gong Yu replied calmly, "I can prepare the big mystery gift for my wife, and the free meal is not important to me at all. I am most concerned about what my wife thinks. If she decides to give up, I support her fully."
The sudden showcase of love and affection caused the host to be speechless. She tried to think of ways to make the couple continue staying on the stage. Suddenly, her scheming eyes caught the sight of Niannian. The host put on the disposition of a friendly and cute big sister. "Little sweetheart, do you want to see daddy and mommy get a big prize?"
Niannian glanced at Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi with her bright, big eyes. She answered in a sweet voice, "My daddy is so handsome and my mommy is so beautiful. They are also so smart and so great. They will definitely win the big prize."
Seeing that it was indeed very easy to deceive the child, the host continued luring, "But right now, your daddy and mommy are giving up, then they will not be able to get the big prize. They will become the last one."
Niannian frowned immediately and argued with some dissatisfaction, "How can my daddy and mommy be the last? They will definitely get the big prize."
Seeing that she was successful, the host turned to Gong Yu and said, "Handsome, your sweetheart seems to be very confident in you guys. She is looking forward to you guys getting the big prize. Do you bear to disappoint her?"
The host secretly praised herself for being so smart. There is a saying that daughters are their fathers" lovers in their past lives. Fathers and daughters always have the best relationships. By using the little one, you would definitely not go wrong.
But the host had totally not expected Gong Yu to reply calmly, "I still respect my wife"s decision. I will go with her choice."
Gong Yu had seen through her tricks. He saw her intentions very clearly, so he avoided her trap and continued to show his love.
The host did not expect Gong Yu to still care for Murong Yunxi so much so that he was not going to care for his daughter"s feelings. She could not help but cursed at him in her heart.
Murong Yunxi did not pay attention to the host. Instead, her eyes were fixated onto Niannian. She did see a ray of hope in Niannian"s eyes.
Since young, Niannian only had Murong Yunxi beside her. She had never felt the family love that other children with both parents can experience. Now that Murong Yunxi was with Gong Yu, it was a chance for her to show everyone how happy their family is. She was actually looking forward to it, such that if Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi won, she could show off in front of everyone else. Look, this is my daddy and mommy.
After a long period of hesitation, Murong Yunxi finally said lightly, "Okay then, let"s continue."
Gong Yu was neither shocked nor happy. He just smiled and replied faintly, "Okay, whatever you decide."
The host was full of admiration. Gong Yu was so handsome and so considerate of his wife, he was indeed the nation"s husband! This made others so envious.
Thinking about this, the host glanced at Murong Yunxi. Her eyes were full of jealousy and her heart of envy was going berserk.
The host said to the audience quite indignantly, "Then let"s not waste any more time, the compet.i.tion is about to begin."
She then turned to the people on stage and said, "Then can I invite all husbands to carry your loved one up. You can choose your most comfortable position, as long as the ladies" feet are above the ground."
Gong Yu bridal-carried Murong Yunxi. It looked so easy when he did it, he was so attractive. He was just like a prince that walked out of a comic book, and Murong Yunxi was as beautiful as a princess. There was so much picturing going on.
The audience started to discuss among themselves. Niannian heard words of admiration and praise. She started to form an arrogant and proud expression on her small face. She looked very cute and also received some attention.
The second pair of contestants were not having it easy. The female was a little fat and the male was unable to do a bridal-carry. He could only carry her by the b.u.t.t and made her wrap her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.
The third pair seemed to be Gong Yu"s group"s biggest rival. The man was big and tall and the woman was tiny. The man also carried her up easily. He copied how Gong Yu looked like a handsome prince. It was a pity that he did not have the visuals and aura. Doing the same action as Gong Yu seemed as if he was finding trouble for himself.
This was because there is a cla.s.sic sentence that goes: No comparison, no damage.
Comparing with Gong Yu"s group, this sentence applied to the third group really well.
The fourth couple consisted of two people that were both slightly fat. Hence, judging from their height and weight, they did not have any advantage nor disadvantage. This pair chose the same pose as the second pair. It was relatively easier.
The fifth couple was the most difficult. The woman was too tall and the man too short. They chose the same position as the second group, but because the woman was way too tall, it seemed like they could only kiss if the man looks up and the woman lowers her head.
The five pairs were all ready. The host said to the staff member at the side, "Okay, let"s have our staff member time us. From this moment onwards, it will be considered a failure once any of the female"s body parts touches the ground. You cannot rely on other positions. Once the lips separate, it"s a failure."
"Ready, get set, go!"
