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 âAttention, 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!â
The host shouted this while holding up a megaphone âWe need two more couples! Any volunteers?â The host continued to ask âAre we going?â Wayne asked Anna as he looked down Anna exclaimed after a moment of consideration. âOh, no! Letâs go back home! You know, we can buy our own chocolate.â
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, âHey, cute guy, are you alone? Can we play this game together? Please help me! We can share the prize together if we win!â
Annaâs 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 didnât appear to seek Wayneâs help but rather to hook up with him.
âUh? Me?â Wayne grimaced and seemed unsure about how to say no to her.
âPlease... I really want that bike! I go to college nearby, and it will be more convenient for me to commute by bike.â The girl smiled and winked, looking cute.
âOh, sorry about that, weâre going to participate in the game, too. Weâre just trying to place the stuff we bought.â Anna said while standing between the two people.
Then, she exclaimed loudly as she put the shopping bag she was holding directly into Wayneâs hand, âItâs too heavy, help me carry it.â
The girl laughed awkwardly and said, âOh! Sorry, madam, I didnât see you. Iâll ask someone else to help me then.â
Hearing that, Anna got irritated, thinking. âMaâam?â Why did you call Wayne a âcute guy!â when he is over thirty? Iâm just a few years older than you arenât 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, âOne last couple left!
Does anyone else want to participate in this fun game?â
âWe do!â Saying that, Wayne raised his hand. Before Anna could look back, Wayne had already dragged her onto the stage.
1/3 Anna lowered her voice and said to Wayne as they were standing on the platform waiting for the host to start, âWayne, how old do you think I look?â
Wayne replied, âTwenty-five.â
Anna, irritated, exclaimed, âNo! Iâm not asking how old I am, but how old I appear. Why did that girl call you a âcute guyâ and me âmadamâ? Do I look much older than she?â
âSheâs in college, so she does look younger than you.â âS**t! You...â 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 youâre such an i***, I wouldnât have dated you in the first place!
The hostâs voice interrupted their talk at that point. Also, the speaker adjacent to the stage was so loud that it hurt Annaâs ears.
The host said with excitement, âOK, 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 canât think of a new posture, it will be eliminated. The group that holds on to the end is the winner!â
After hearing the hostâs words, Anna became embarrassed. Then she turned away and glared at Wayne Wayne looked at her calmly and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â Anna whispered, making an ashamed grimace and lowering her voice, âLetâs go! Please!â
To her surprise, the host had already stepped towards them and announced just as she tried to persuade Wayne to leave, âOK, youâre the first group!â
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 gameâs 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 boyfriendâs shoulder.
The last pair was the most bizarre one. Perhaps because the boy couldnât think of any other option, he grabbed the girlâs 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.
âWhat a surprise!â said the host, laughing, âYouâre giving up now!â
âWonderful job, everyone! Guys, please hold this stance for one more minute! Then, weâll move on to the next set of positions.
OK, there are just forty seconds left.â
2/3 The host started counting down on the stage.
Anna inquired, tilting her head to stare at Wayneâs chin, âWhat pose are we going to change? I really canât think of another one, Wayne. How about we just give up?â
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 Wayneâs 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. âWayne, let go of me...â she pleaded, lowering her voice. âWhich award do you want?â Wayne asked, ignoring her pleading. âI donât want anything! Let go of me! Can we please go home?â Wayne immediately laughed recklessly and said, âOh, then Iâll get the first prize for you!â Anna was irritated by him, but she didnât 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, âAll right, letâs change the rules of our game. Please kiss now, and whoever kisses the longest time win!â
âKiss! Kiss! Kiss!â chanted the entire audience. âWayne! Put me down!â Anna exclaimed, humiliated. âIâm not interested in this a Nonetheless, the host stated, âOK, Iâm going to count down to three. You can start when I say oneâ.â
âWayne, let me go!â Anna began to struggle âThree!â
âI donât want this damn prize! Youâll have to sleep on the road tonight if you dare kiss me in front of so many people!â
âTwo!â âOne!â
