Chapter 932: Childhood Sweethearts 26

The upcoming itinerary was aimless, unrestrained play.

After confirming their relationship, Mu Henian seemed to have suddenly opened his Ren and Du meridians, becoming much more active, shoving all sorts of nice and fun things into Cheng Huai's arms.

Only Mu Henian himself knew that he had longed for such a life for far too long, to the point of habitually suppressing himself, forgetting that they were now mutually enamored.

No obstacles, no misunderstandings, and no death or sorrow looming between them.

Jin Chen saw how energetic he was, and naturally didn't want to be outdone; the two vied with each other, afraid others wouldn't know they were on a date.

Wherever the four went, pink bubbles automatically rose.

Of course, Jin Chen also had to secretly feed a certain one, and although it wasn't really sneaky, he still had to pay.

【Host!! Pink, huh! Don't you want to give your dear, capable, cutest system a try?!】

【Oh~ it's a lollipop! A giant lollipop! Enough for me to lick for days! Host, hurry up!】

【Look! It's a Pixiu candy figurine! Host! This is my true form! So meaningful!】

Jin Chen: 【... Shut up!】

His head was buzzing.

Thus he played while feeding his own Xiao Yu'er, and also had to buy double portions of snacks to stuff into his bag.

As for why it had to be double portions.

Stuffing so much in, the bag was still empty—does that even make sense…?

Song Xu had bought all-day tickets, and after the four ate dinner at a Korean-style noodle stall, they had already arrived at the night session.

The sunset dyed half the sky red, the amusement park's colorful lights lit up, like a fairy-tale dream.

"There's a huge crowd ahead!"

Cheng Huai tiptoed to look, "The very front is a stage! A big challenge!"

He excitedly patted Mu Henian and Song Xu on either side, "Let's go play! It's a Synchronicity Challenge!"

The crowd surged; Cheng Huai led the three forward, pushing to the front row before realizing he had missed a word earlier.

Full title: Couple's Synchronicity Challenge!

The host happened to be explaining the game rules.

"There are still many little couples here today! We're inviting couples who want to participate to come on stage and answer 20 synchronicity questions."

"The specific rules are as follows! For the same question, both people answer simultaneously; if both answer correctly, they get one point!"

"The first couple to answer all 20 questions correctly can receive our gifted super grand prize pack!"

The host wore a very colorful outfit, full of energy, pointing to the prize box at the center of the stage.

"This is our super grand prize! Not only is there a camera worth 5,000, but also a couples' ticket that can be redeemed anytime—just come if you want! Our amusement park always welcomes you."

Cheng Huai eagerly clung to Mu Henian, acting cute, "Henian, Henian! Let's join too!"

Having just fallen in love, one gets what they wish for; Cheng Huai, immersed in the loving atmosphere, wasn't really after any prize—just seeing the word 'couple' inevitably gave him a feeling of 'I can join in.'

Mu Henian naturally obliged him.

Song Xu narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, then took Jin Chen's arm, "Brother, I also want to join."

Meeting Jin Chen's teasing gaze, Song Xu blushed slightly, trying to cover up with an explanation, "It's not because of any couple thing, but this kind of synchronicity Q&A... I and my brother are definitely the most in sync."

"Ah~ synchronicity."

Jin Chen nodded, "Xiao Yu'er wants to prove we're the most in sync—of course we can."

He pretended not to see the fine print at the bottom of the promotional poster.

The couple that ultimately wins the super grand prize must kiss for sixty seconds amid everyone's blessings.

Jin Chen thought, today wasn't so bad either.

The four went onstage together; the amusement park, full of youthful joy, naturally welcomed all kinds of love as well.

Besides them, there was also a female couple; they exchanged glances with Jin Chen and his group, and simultaneously nodded and smiled.

In the end, a total of ten couples participated in the challenge.

Each of them first answered the questions in turn, handing their answers to the staff.

Host: "Well then, the competition starts now!"

"The first question! What is the other person's most hated vegetable?"

Jin Chen: "Animal organs!"

Song Xu: "Cilantro!"

The staff drew a check on the board and raised the green card.

"Oh! No couple was eliminated on the first question—looks like everyone still knows each other pretty well! Please listen to the second question!"

Host: "Which body part does the other person like to be touched the most?"

"Oh~"

The audience below immediately erupted in various jeers.

The couples' answers also became all over the place.

Jin Chen again without hesitation: "Neck!"

Xiao Yu'er always likes to bury his face in the neck whenever something happens—so cute!

Song Xu pinched his own cheeks, confident: "Cheek flesh."

He seriously suspects that the baby fat that hasn't disappeared to this day is because his brother keeps pinching it every day.

It was clearly not obvious when he was little.

The staff raised the green card.

Song Xu heard the couple in front say something unspeakable, shocking him so much he grit his teeth and his eyes widened.

Is that something that can be said?

"Oh~ How unfortunate! The second question eliminated a couple, but please don't lose heart—tacit Q&A is just a game, and I hope it doesn't affect your feelings!"

The host made a heart gesture at that couple.

"Third question! Have you met each other's parents? If so, does their attitude affect your relationship?"

This question is rather peculiar.

Several couples looked troubled; even the previously enthusiastic female-female pair had dim eyes, yet despite that, they firmly wrote: "No."

Cheng Huai and Mu Henian exchanged a glance.

Cheng Huai had never told Mu Henian about his family, even though his family lived in this city, and he was afraid Mu Henian would think he was unwilling to disclose it.

Mu Henian merely put an arm around his shoulder, offering low comfort: "Don't worry, I can understand your choice."

Thus their answers were consistent.

Never met, no impact.

This question directly eliminated three couples.

The following questions were all tricky in various ways; by the tenth question, only three couples remained on stage holding on.

"Final question! Everyone, listen up!"

"Please take off your earpiece, don't be afraid of being overheard; you only need to tell the staff something you find hardest to let go of about the other person!"

Cheng Huai's expression stiffened slightly; he blankly lifted his head to look at Mu Henian, slowly shook his head, and spoke silently.

I don't know.

They realized that during the time they had spent together, Cheng Huai had never asked about Mu Henian's past; likewise, he didn't think Mu Henian knew his own answer to this question.

Mu Henian certainly knew, but he couldn't say it, nor did he want to reopen Cheng Huai's wound.

"It's fine; we managed to answer nine questions correctly."

Mu Henian embraced Cheng Huai, whispering softly: "When winter comes, I'll wear the scarf you gave me, and we'll try again—after answering the tenth question, okay?"

Cheng Huai let out a muffled "uh" and buried himself in his embrace.

The two were eliminated.

Another couple who had held on also fell on this question.
