It was just about the evening And there were a lot of people gathering in the supermarket after dinner. Soon, the entrance of the supermarket was crowded with people
“Attention, everyone! The supermarket is now running a game The first award is a bicycle. the second a box of chocolates, and the third a huge stuffed teddy bear. You may also receive a small prize if you participate in the game. You all are welcome to participate whether you are a couple or not Welcome, welcome!”
The host shouted this while holding up a megaphone
“We need two more couples! Any volunteers?” The host continued to ask
“Are we going?” Wayne asked Anna as he looked down
Anna exclaimed after a moment of consideration. “Oh, no! Let’s go back home! You know, we can buy our own chocolate.”
Anna was familiar with this supermarket and knew that the events held here were always weird. As a result, she was hesitant to participate in this event in case she embarrassed herself
They had just taken two steps forward when a girl asked Wayne, “Hey, cute guy, are you alone? Can we play this game together? Please help me! We can share the prize together if we win!”
Anna’s heart skipped a beat She turned around and saw a young woman in her twenties looking at Wayne with a hopeful expression on her face
She didn’t appear to seek Wayne’s help but rather to hook up with him.
“Uh? Me?” Wayne grimaced and seemed unsure about how to say no to her.
“Please… I really want that bike! I go to college nearby, and it will be more convenient for me to commute by bike.” The girl smiled and winked, looking cute.
“Oh, sorry about that, we‘re going to participate in the game, too. We’re just trying to place the stuff we bought.” Anna said while standing between the two people.
Then, she exclaimed loudly as she put the shopping bag she was holding directly into Wayne’s hand, “It’s too heavy, help me carry it.”
The girl laughed awkwardly and said, “Oh! Sorry, madam, I didn’t see you. I’ll ask someone else to help me then.”
Hearing that, Anna got irritated, thinking. “Ma‘am?” Why did you call Wayne a “cute guy!” when he is over thirty? I‘m just a few years older than you aren‘t 1? Are you out of your goddamn mind?!
The girl vanished into the crowd just as Anna was going to vent her anger on her. Then the host asked, “One last couple left! Does anyone else want to participate in this fun game?”
“We do!” Saying that, Wayne raised his hand. Before Anna could look back, Wayne had already dragged her onto the stage.
Anna lowered her voice and said to Wayne as they were standing on the platform waiting for the host to start, “Wayne, how old do you think I look?”
Wayne replied, “Twenty-five.”
Anna, irritated, exclaimed, “No! I’m not asking how old I am, but how old I appear. Why did that girl call you a ‘cute guy’ and me ‘madam’? Do I look much older than she?”
“She’s in college, so she does look younger than you.” “S**t! You…” Anna was annoyed by him.
Then she thought, What is wrong with you, Wayne? Did you say that to me on purpose or did you actually have no idea what I meant? Gosh! If I had known that you‘re such an i***, I wouldn‘t have dated you in the first place!
The host’s voice interrupted their talk at that point. Also, the speaker adjacent to the stage was so loud that it hurt Anna’s ears.
The host said with excitement, “OK, let the game begin! The game requires two persons to stand together, with one holding the other. But the person being held is not allowed to touch the ground! Also, no two groups can have the same posture! If a group can’t think of a new posture, it will be eliminated. The group that holds on to the end is the winner!”
After hearing the host’s words, Anna became embarrassed. Then she turned away and glared at Wayne.
Wayne looked at her calmly and asked, “What’s wrong?” Anna whispered, making an ashamed grimace and lowering her voice, “Let’s go! Please!”
To her surprise, the host had already stepped towards them and announced just as she tried to persuade Wayne to leave, “OK, you’re the first group!”
Wayne quickly carried Anna in his arms before she could flee. At this time, the audience was thrilled.
As Anna struggled, she found that Wayne was holding her tightly. So, the more she struggled, the more she looked like a fish on shore.
Out of shame and anger, she gave Wayne a hard stare. Wayne just glanced down at her with a tender gaze at that point.
As Wayne gazed at her affectionately, Anna blushed and tilted her head. She wondered why Wayne was so calm, and she even suspected if he had already known the game’s rules before.
Then the four groups next to them also moved very quickly. One man carried his partner, while another carried his on his shoulder. Then, a short girl sat on her boyfriend’s shoulder.
The last pair was the most bizarre one. Perhaps because the boy couldn’t think of any other option, he grabbed the girl’s legs from behind and raised her up to face the stage.
Seeing how ridiculous they looked, every audience laughed.
That girl immediately felt ashamed. She then broke free from her boyfriend and jumped on the floor, hammering her boyfriend hard before fleeing the stage in shame.
“What a surprise!” said the host, laughing, “You’re giving up now!”
“Wonderful job, everyone! Guys, please hold this stance for one more minute! Then, we’ll move on to the next set of positions. OK, there are just forty seconds left.”
The host started counting down on the stage.
Anna inquired, tilting her head to stare at Wayne’s chin, “What pose are we going to change? I really can’t think of another one, Wayne. How about we just give up?”
By then, the host had counted to one. While Anna was dazed, Wayne put her on the floor. Wayne dragged her by the waist and lifted her up just as she was about to flee again.
Anna was uneasy about being picked up in this way. She involuntarily reached out, hooked her arms around Wayne’s neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself from falling
Seeing them, the audience erupted in applause. Blushing, Anna felt her face burning up. “Wayne, let go of me…” she pleaded, lowering her voice. “Which award do you want?” Wayne asked, ignoring her pleading. “I don’t want anything! Let go of me! Can we please go home?” Wayne immediately laughed recklessly and said, “Oh, then I’ll get the first prize for you!” Anna was irritated by him, but she didn’t know what she should do. Another group afterwards gave up. In the end, only three groups remained on stage. Anna assumed that they were going to adjust their stance again.
To her amazement, the presenter abruptly stated, “All right, let’s change the rules of our game. Please kiss now, and whoever kisses the longest time win!”
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” chanted the entire audience. “Wayne! Put me down!” Anna exclaimed, humiliated. “I’m not interested in this a
Nonetheless, the host stated, “OK, I’m going to count down to three. You can start when I say one’.”
“Wayne, let me go!” Anna began to struggle “Three!”
“I don’t want this damn prize! You’ll have to sleep on the road tonight if you dare kiss me in front of so many people!”
“Two!” “One!”
