Chapter 633: Luo Qi, This Doesn't Feel Right
Chapter 633: Luo Qi, This Doesn't Feel Right
"The last time I saw a couple with that answer, they were immediately disqualified."
"Yes, it's a trick question. If you've never been on a date before, then it's obvious that coming to Golden Bee Paradise today isn't a date either. It's just two people pretending to be a couple to participate in the game."
In the central courtyard of the amusement park, many players began discussing the question with their partners.
Loren, hearing the conversations around him, felt somewhat relieved.
This game wasn't as challenging as he had anticipated.
He and Julianna could be considered to have been on a date before, so they wouldn't be deemed a fake couple.
Soon enough, Talia's small blackboard displayed her answer: [D. More than 100 times].
Lance's blackboard also showed the same answer: [D. More than 100 times].
Based on Talia's definition, Lance thought that for someone like her who didn't understand dating, any outing with a man alone could probably be considered a date. In that case, from the South Van Tina border, they had indeed often gone out together, just the two of them.
The Cat Boss glared at Lance.
You don't say, Alan. You two are quite the match.
"Oh oh oh!"
"I apologize. Earlier, when I saw the two of you collide and questioned the authenticity of your relationship, I was too forward."
The host and game administrator expressed his apologies, eliciting laughter from the audience.
The more veteran the couple, the more entertaining the show! New couples don't have much to offer in terms of drama.
In the Shadow World, within the Colorful Fantasy Classroom.
Lance and Talia could only hear each other's voices, the music, the host's voice, and the cheers of the audience being relayed by the director from the real world.
Seeing that their answers matched, they felt relieved but also a bit embarrassed.
The good news was that they could continue with the game.
The bad news was that they were temporarily mistaken for a couple.
"You two can choose to withdraw or continue. What will it be? However, answering just one question doesn't earn you much. To receive a participation award of one Golden Bee Coin, you'll need to answer at least three questions. If you're aiming for the commemorative Animal Forest Chocolate Gift Box, you'll need to answer even more."
The host inquired.
"We'll continue," Lance replied.
The first question wasn't too bad, but this wasn't the outcome he had hoped for. He wanted Loren to see the dangers of this game.
Talia nodded in agreement.
"Excellent! Here's the second question."
The host smiled, and the cartoon figure once again drew a card from mid-air, glanced at it, and tore it open to reveal a floating banner—
Second Question (Male & Female): What was your first impression of each other when you first met?
A pitiful old vagrant woman.
A detestable rich young master.
Their answers appeared on their respective small blackboards.
For a moment, they stared at each other in surprise.
"Pfft!" The host couldn't help but laugh.
The central courtyard in the real world erupted in cheers and exclamations.
"What a hilarious pair of opposites!"
"How did they go from disliking each other to becoming what they are now?"
In the Shadow World classroom.
Talia glared at Lance after seeing his answer, her eyes narrowing in displeasure.
Although Lance had explained before that when he first saw her in South Van Tina, he had mistaken her, with her gray cloak and vagrant appearance, for an old lady, and that it was only later that he realized she was a beautiful young lady—which was why he had named that painting "Poor, Pitiful Old Lady."
But now, Talia confirmed that this was truly what Lance had thought of her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
Lance caught Talia's answer and her gaze, feeling a bit guilty, so he averted his eyes.
Back then, a hungry Talia had been resting against the city wall, and he had been feeding his cat with expensive smoked chicken nearby. No wonder Talia had been furious with him at the time.
"Congratulations, you two. You've completed two questions. Would you like to continue?"
The host asked with a smile.
"Yes," Talia replied resolutely, her eyes daring Lance to disagree.
Lance nodded in agreement, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"Alright, here's the next question."
The host's cartoon figure reached out and plucked another card from mid-air, glancing at it before tearing it open to reveal the next question.
Third Question (Female): What is your happiest memory with him?
For the first time, a question required only one person to answer, allowing the other to skip this round.
[Being fed by him while lying in bed.]
Hearing the audience's teasing, Talia covered her face.
She hadn't even realized her answer had appeared on the small blackboard.
Recalling the time when her right hand had been injured in South Van Tina, she remembered leaning against the headboard as Lance fed her; it had indeed been very comfortable.
"Hmph..."
Lance couldn't hold back his laughter.
Talia glared at him, and he turned his head, his shoulders shaking slightly as he tried to suppress his laughter.
"You're not allowed to laugh..."
Talia said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not laughing..."
Lance's voice trembled.
"You both look great when you smile, but I'm looking at the questions, and I'm not sure if you'll still be smiling after the next one."
The host asked, feeling more and more engaged as the game progressed.
The first few questions were usually mild, but the further they went, the more dangerous it became, and a single question could easily shatter the relationship between the couple.
If all went as expected, a dangerous question was coming soon.
Often, just one question was enough for the couple to understand each other's hidden thoughts.
"Shall we continue?"
Lance asked, a hint of teasing in his eyes as he looked at Talia.
Although they had already reached the point where they could win the Animal Forest Chocolate Gift Box, he was having too much fun. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed himself so much.
"..."
If they hadn't been in the central courtyard of the Golden Bee Amusement Park, Talia would have loved to pinch Lance's cheeks right then and there. His schadenfreude-filled expression was so annoying!
"Yes, let's continue!"
Talia's voice dared him to back down.
She felt a rush of adrenaline, almost as if she were challenging him.
What's the worst that could happen? They could always drop out of the game together.
Fourth Question (Male): What do you think of her? Answer with the first four words that come to mind.
The host's card transformed into a banner that floated in the air.
Lance's small blackboard instantly displayed his answer.
[Beautiful, Eat, Older, Useless]
Lance immediately broke into a cold sweat, wishing he could escape this trial.
"Tha, that's enough."
Lance tried to stand, forcing a smile.
He believed that by now, Loren would surely understand how dangerous this game was, and if they continued, he would be the one to suffer.
However, Lance found that he couldn't stand up.
Talia's slender hand rested on his shoulder, holding him in place.
"Come on, let's keep playing."
She smiled gently.
Lance had never seen Talia smile so warmly, and this smile froze him in place.
"Are you sure?"
Her voice was soft and gentle.
"Y-yes..."
Lance sat up straight like a well-behaved student, too afraid to move.
