I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

After hearing this, Liu Yan didn't say anything, just smiled frivolously and shrugged.

This kind of action is really infuriating.

But looking at Ye Hui who was full of anticipation and Xiao You who was also looking forward to Liu Yan, I sighed helplessly.

I must give Liu Yan a good lesson for the meal later.

I swore secretly in my heart.

Give up the so-called best and choose the right one

Chapter 3 Give up the so-called best and choose the right one

Having said that, generally speaking, shopping malls holding events... especially events like this will definitely use cheesy methods, and there will definitely be activities that show affection in public, so... I'm so excited.

Ahem, calm down. Ye Hui doesn't understand this kind of activity yet. Maybe after he understands it, he will stop participating out of shyness. It's better to be mentally prepared first.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...and I have experienced disappointment an unusually large number of times.

Is this also a curse?

If it's Xiaoyou...based on Liu Yan's feeling, I think there should be no problem.

Come on, You-chan, I can only support you silently in my heart.

................

As expected, many people...perfectly demonstrated the phenomenon of herd behavior.

However, businesses organize various activities just to trigger this kind of phenomenon. It’s just that I personally don’t like the hustle and bustle so I’m often not interested in it.

Take a closer look, the guys gathered here are not just couples, there are also many single guys... Are you here to get bullied? Stay home!

"Really..." I muttered to myself and looked at the rules of the event...

What caught my eye were the four big words "Participate with caution"! It gave me a bad feeling from the beginning. It's a wonder that an event like this can attract so many people.

I only realized it when I read the rules.

It turns out I misunderstood this event.

Although the requirement for participation is to be a couple, the rules don't include showing off your affection!

There is only one rule for the activity. Ten different questions are prepared for the two people without their knowledge. They are all about small things in their lives. Then, they are asked to answer the questions asked to each other on the stage and compare the answers they gave themselves.

That is to say, if two people are a couple, this activity can test how well they understand each other.

It sounds simple, doesn't it? Because couples will know each other's habits and hobbies to some extent.

Unfortunately, people can't understand each other. Even in close relationships, there are always areas where misunderstandings arise. And in a public setting like this, if a couple gets a question wrong, it's natural that a rift will form between them.

Guys who are in love all have an aura of lower IQ, especially women, who also have a layer of "unreasonable" state.

If the man makes too many mistakes in answering questions about the woman, the effect of this "unreasonable" halo will increase exponentially, from the initial "I don't care, it's your fault" to "I don't care, I don't care, we've been together for so long and you don't even know my habits" and it is even possible that "let's break up" will happen.

Wouldn't it be great to have the opportunity to watch a couple break up live?

I always feel that this activity emphasizes that "we are actually all strangers."

So I just want to say to the people in charge of this event...

Good job!

Although I don’t know what happened to the person in charge, I can sense the full malice towards couples through this activity... No wonder you singles are watching it so enthusiastically.

"Oh, so the rules are so difficult." Ye Hui couldn't help but sigh after reading the rules.

"So let's not participate. After all, we don't really understand..."

"Yeah...that's right..." Ye Hui said unwillingly, then turned around and looked at me. His serious look made me feel guilty.

"What...what happened?"

"I will get to know you better as we get along, so you should also get to know me better as we get along."

"Uh... um... okay."

Hey, what's with this sweet talk? I don't think it's anything special, but what will the people around you think?

So Ye Hui's unintentional behavior triggered a group damage skill. Anyone who heard our conversation would receive critical damage and additional true damage equal to 10% of their maximum health... Sorry, everyone, I didn't want this to happen.

"Ah... well, Liu Yan, are you guys still planning to participate in this event?"

In order to ease the atmosphere and avoid the resentful gazes around me, I turned my head towards Liu Yan and Xiaoyou.

“I’m going to…I’m going!”

Xiaoyou, unlike her previous shyness, directly took Liu Yan's arm. "You did a good job. I support you."

"Well, there's nothing we can do. Let's go together. Master, you and your girlfriend can just watch from the side."

"Yeah, go ahead."

It feels really good to be recognized as a couple with Ye Hui. I don’t mind if you call me a few more times.

Silently gave Liu Yan a thumbs up.

"Then I wish you good luck." Ye Hui said and waved at them.

"Yes... yes! We will work hard together with Liu Yan."

Oh, that shy yet hardworking look is quite cute. Just try your best to help Liu Yan, this thick-headed man, open his mind.

...........

There are ten questions, and you will get rewards based on the number of questions you answer correctly...By the way, the questions are random to prevent pretend couples from coordinating the answers in advance.

But I don't think anyone would be so idle as to pretend to be a couple just for a diamond ring, and if you win, how will you divide it?

In short, the couple on the stage only answered two questions correctly together and received two bottles of laundry detergent.

This prize is quite practical, but I don't know if the relationship between them can still support them living together...

What a joy.

Because they have just registered, it may take a long time before it is Liu Yan and Xiaoyou's turn.

"I guess we have to wait a while before we can see them. Would you like something to drink?" I asked Ye Hui beside me.

"Ah, well...why don't we go together? I'm afraid we'll get separated."

Ye Hui said as he looked towards the crowd gathered around him.

"Well, that's fine..."

..............

When Yehui and I walked into the crowd with our drinks, we heard people whispering:

"She doesn't look very old, she must be a student."

"Students nowadays are so bold. Premature love is not a good thing."

"You want to fall in love early, but it's too late, isn't it?"

From these few sentences, we can guess that it is Liu Yan and Xiaoyou... It seems that we are not too late, their turn has just begun.

There are two separate platforms on the stage, just like the quiz shows in variety shows.

Liu Yan and Xiaoyou stood in opposite positions, with the host standing in the middle.

"So, the couple below is the youngest couple currently participating in our event. I wonder how long they have been together?"

After saying that, he extended the microphone to Xiaoyou.

"Ah... well... actually we've known each other since we were kids, so... we've spent a lot of time together..."

She spoke haltingly due to shyness, but that made her even cuter.

"So they're childhood sweethearts? Love truly does marry. So, do this childhood sweetheart really know each other well enough? And can they take home our first prize, a diamond ring provided by our [sponsor]? Now... let's begin!"

"Men, please listen to the question. Who is the woman's favorite idol?"

I originally thought that Liu Yan would definitely not pay attention to these, but unexpectedly, Liu Yan answered very quickly, and he was right.

"Okay, now it's the woman's turn to answer. What are the ages of the man's parents?"

This one is difficult. Generally speaking, it's already impressive for ordinary couples to know each other's parents' names, but here they have to answer their ages...

However, for Xiaoyou, who has been with Liu Yan since childhood, this kind of question naturally does not pose a problem for her.

There was talk again around.

"That's amazing, you can answer all of these correctly."

"It's quite interesting. It's no wonder we've been playing this game since we were little."

"Why does this sentence sound so strange when it comes out of your mouth?"

"Oh? Is there?"

............

Liu Yan did not answer incorrectly as I initially thought. On the contrary, Liu Yan had already answered five of his questions correctly. Now it was Xiaoyou's turn to answer the last question. As long as they answered it correctly, the diamond ring would be theirs.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, not only you, but I'm also surprised that this pair of childhood sweethearts managed to answer nine questions correctly in a row. This is a feat the previous pairs couldn't even achieve... Now, will they finally get their wish and get the diamond ring?... Last question! Let's begin!"

"Excuse me, lady, what is your man's favorite food?"

So easy! What good luck! This problem is too easy for them who spend so much time together! Looks like I've got the diamond ring. I'll have to ask Liu Yan to treat me to a meal later, and I'll have to pay him a lot... No, two!

Xiaoyou on the stage did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment and then gave the answer.

“It’s plant-based food.”

"wrong answer."

"Oh! What a pity! This couple was only one step away from winning our final prize. But it doesn't matter if they are wrong. We still have a prize second only to the first prize for you. Thank you for your help this time..."

Is this what they call a "sudden failure"? Well, never mind. My performance was much better than I expected, and the second prize is not bad either. It is two silver necklaces provided by the [sponsor], just one for each of us.

Let’s just say that it’s cause for celebration.

..............

"Sorry, I didn't get the last question right..."

Xiaoyou walked towards Liu Yan with his head down.

"It doesn't matter, it's just entertainment, and we got two necklaces without spending any money, right?" Liu Yan said as he took out the prize he had already obtained.

"Yeah, you're right. One of them is my contribution." Xiaoyou said as he was about to take one of them away.

Liu Yan quickly withdrew his hand.

"What?" Xiaoyou asked him somewhat unhappily.

"Don't move, I'll put it on for you."

"Oh?! Isn't this bad? I feel a little sorry..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu Yan had already come over and put the necklace on her.

Looking at Xiaoyou, whose face showed both surprise and happiness, I couldn't help but smile.

This kid...does he have low emotional intelligence?

....................

"Well, since Liu Yan has made such a great harvest today, according to the rules, he has to treat everyone to a meal!"

"I've never heard of such a rule!" Liu Yan showed an expression as if he felt sorry for his wallet.

"Even if you don't treat me today, you have to treat me..."

So, under my coercion, the four of us came to the self-service hot pot restaurant.

When Xiaoyou and I went to choose dishes together, I suddenly realized something when I saw the many dishes Xiaoyou chose.

"Shh~"

Xiaoyou seemed to realize what I was thinking and made a silent gesture.

"That's right, I gave the wrong answer on purpose. Actually, I know that Liu Yan likes to eat meat." Xiaoyou said to me with a smile.
