Chapter 209: Xu Tian was pinned down and kissed by Tang Bingyan

Tang Bingyan nodded slightly: "Continue."

For the fourth and fifth questions, both of them still made the same choices.

"The two of you are truly so in sync!"

The waiter asked with a smile: "May I ask, are you a couple?"

There are indeed not many customers who can answer five questions in a row correctly; after all, the four-choice-one format reduces the probability of guessing correctly, and the best record in the restaurant before was only seven questions.

Xu Tian nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Then, he calculated the time; there was still an hour left before the restaurant closed, and perhaps they really could win the mysterious grand prize.

"Let's continue." Xu Tian spoke with great interest.

Tang Bingyan had no objections and also signaled the waiter to continue.

For the sixth question, the two of them chose the same photo once again.

"The two of you are truly so in sync! You only need to answer one more question correctly to tie for first place with the previous guests." The waiter was also a bit excited.

Tang Xin had originally been somewhat dismissive, but seeing Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian choose the same photos one after another, her expression also turned ugly.

"Hey, that couple over there answered six questions correctly!"

"Really? That's too amazing; they must be a very loving couple who understand each other well..."

Guests sitting at nearby tables cast envious glances at Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan, while also being very curious about whether these two could win the mysterious grand prize.

"Are the two of you ready? Here is the seventh question."

The waiter brought out another set of four photos.

Those guests who were paying attention to Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan also held their breath, looking forward to their answer.

After Tang Bingyan wrote down the number, Xu Tian pulled a photo from the waiter's hand.

The waiter glanced at Tang Bingyan's card and said excitedly: "Completely correct!"

The surrounding guests spontaneously started to applaud, but Tang Xin stared blankly at the other photo, muttering to herself: "You're lying, you clearly don't like sweet things..."

Xu Tian heard her complaint and looked at her sideways with some surprise.

He didn't particularly like sweets, but he didn't dislike them either, so he had subconsciously chosen according to his habits just now.

This Tang Xin clearly knew his preferences, so why did she have to pretend to be someone who understood him so well?

The waiter: "Congratulations to the two of you for answering seven questions correctly! Now you are tied for first place with the previous two guests and need to split the final mysterious grand gift."

"Of course, you can also choose to continue answering questions. If you answer correctly, you can enjoy the grand prize alone, but if you answer incorrectly, one point will be deducted, you will automatically become second place, and you will only be able to get a souvenir. May I ask if you want to continue answering questions?"

"Bingyan, do you still want to play?" Xu Tian looked at Tang Bingyan to seek her opinion.

"Mm." Tang Bingyan nodded.

She didn't have much interest in that mysterious grand prize, but since the game had started, there was no reason to give up halfway.

"Then we will continue." Xu Tian said to the waiter.

"Alright, here is the eighth level."

The waiter brought out four photos again and gave them to Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian to choose from.

Tang Bingyan wrote down the answer on the card first.

Xu Tian frowned slightly after seeing the photos; the content this time was very unique—they were all green plants.

He observed carefully; they actually looked a bit like medicinal herbs.

He hadn't been in contact with these medicinal herbs before, but he inexplicably felt that one of them was familiar.

He thought for a moment and finally chose the medicinal herb that felt familiar.

However, this time he wasn't sure he would choose the same one as Tang Bingyan.

After all, this wasn't his preference, and as for what Tang Bingyan would choose, he could probably only rely on luck.

Tang Xin, who had originally looked indifferent, saw those photos and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Purple Bell Herb..."

She looked at Tang Bingyan with complex eyes and then pointed her hand at one of the photos.

"What is Purple Bell Herb? Is it a medicinal herb?"

Xu Tian was somewhat surprised that Tang Xin would recognize something that ordinary people had no chance to come into contact with, and even more surprised that she had guessed correctly this time.

"Mm, it is a medicinal herb."

This time Tang Xin's expression was very calm, but Xu Tian felt that her tone was somewhat sad.

Before he could think deeply, the waiter next to him took the card in front of Tang Bingyan.

"Now let us announce the final result!"

She seemed to notice that the surrounding guests were all paying attention to this side, so she deliberately kept them in suspense: "Will the two of them be able to successfully clear the level?"

Xu Tian looked in Tang Bingyan's direction and found that her expression was still indifferent, with no reaction.

Tang Bingyan had a very strong competitive spirit; if she had chosen wrong this time, she would probably care about it for a long time...

He took a deep breath and realized that he was actually a bit nervous.

At this moment, the host flipped over Tang Bingyan's card, and after seeing the content on it, she said excitedly and loudly.

"Let us congratulate this couple; they have once again made the same choice!"

Cheers immediately erupted inside the restaurant.

"Are these two really too in sync?"

"Could it be that the waiter leaked the questions in advance? Otherwise, how could they guess so accurately?"

"That's impossible, right? If the boss found out about that, they would be fired."

"It's not worth losing a job for a gift."

"But wasn't that last question too hard? Who in their right mind has come into contact with these medicinal herbs?"

Among the surrounding guests, some were envious, some were skeptical, some were sighing, and some were even blaming their own boyfriends.

"Look at them, why can't you guess what I chose?"

"The one who should be reflecting is you; didn't you see that they are the female guessing which picture the man would choose?"

Seeing that a young couple was about to start arguing, the surrounding enthusiastic guests began to mediate.

"Actually, those last four photos were homework from our restaurant owner's daughter. She is currently a student at a Traditional Chinese Medicine university and felt that this segment set up by the restaurant was interesting, so when we were preparing the pictures, she added the medicinal herb pictures she needed to identify for her homework as a tie-breaker question. We didn't intend to deliberately make things difficult for the guests, and we hope everyone understands."

With the waiter explaining it this way, the other guests didn't say anything more.

After all, they weren't the ones being made difficult, and those who were made difficult had answered correctly, so naturally, there was no need to dwell on this point.

"Finally, I still want to congratulate the two of you for winning the mysterious grand gift prepared by the store. It is our store's Super VIP membership card, limited to one, unique, and can only be used by the two of you; it cannot be lent out.

With this card, you can book high-end ingredients that require a reservation of more than a month in advance, get a 20% discount on in-store consumption, and accumulate enough points to redeem gifts."

Although the guests who could come to this restaurant to dine were not short of money and didn't care about redeeming points for gifts, being able to shorten the time for booking high-end ingredients was still very tempting.

Originally, the owner of this store, in order to reflect that every guest was treated equally, set a rule that high-end ingredients must be booked at least one month in advance and that cutting in line was not allowed.

Therefore, even for wealthy merchants from powerful families, and even for VIP members of the store, if they wanted to eat those precious ingredients, they had to wait for a month.

There was only one Super VIP card, and it was for personal use only, so it didn't harm the interests of other guests, and everyone had no objections; they were just envious that Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan could have such good luck.

Xu Tian received the membership card when checking out and walked out of the restaurant with Tang Bingyan in a good mood.

"Wife, the seafood here is good, right? We won't have to wait so long in advance when we come here in the future."

"But I didn't expect that you could choose the same as me for that last question; it's simply full of synergy!"

"By the way, why did you choose that picture? Do you recognize that medicinal herb?"

"Heh, do you really think the two of you have synergy?" Tang Xin, who was following behind the two, suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Xu Tian frowned and turned his head back, glaring at her with some dissatisfaction.

This third wheel was really annoying, but he was a grown man and also her brother-in-law, so he really couldn't say anything too harsh.

"Anyway, there's no synergy with you at all; you didn't guess a single question right."

"You're talking nonsense, I clearly guessed correctly!"

Tang Xin was choked with anger, her face becoming even uglier.

"Yes, you guessed the last question correctly." Xu Tian said dismissively.

Eight questions; if she couldn't guess even one correctly, that would be too unlucky.

Tang Xin had originally been very unconvinced, but after hearing Xu Tian say this, she suddenly quieted down. She didn't make any more noise, and her whole person was shrouded in a resentment that made people stay away.

Xu Tian was too lazy to pay attention to her; coaxing such an unreasonable young girl was annoying, and he really had no obligation to coax her.

As for Tang Bingyan, her attitude toward Tang Xin had always been cold, so naturally, she wouldn't care why the other party was suddenly angry again.

After returning to the mountain villa, Xu Tian watched Tang Bingyan finish her medicine before going to the bathroom to take a shower.

Xu Tian stood under the showerhead, rubbing his hair with shampoo foam; the experiences of the day made him feel somewhat exhausted.

The bathroom was very quiet, and only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Suddenly, he remembered those pictures he saw in the Western restaurant earlier.

For some reason, when he was making his choices, except for the last set of photos, he always had the illusion that he shouldn't have chosen that way for the other pictures.

Although he still made his choices according to his habits in the end to make it easier for Tang Bingyan to guess correctly, in a corner of his heart, there seemed to be a voice reminding him: you chose wrong, this is not the real answer.

"Heh... perhaps I'm just too tired; I've even started letting my imagination run wild..."

After a while, Xu Tian laughed at himself.

It was just a small game; he was indeed thinking too much.

When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Tang Bingyan had already fallen asleep.

Recently, her sleep hadn't been good, and she often suffered from insomnia; this was the first time she had fallen asleep so quickly.

Just when Xu Tian thought it was the calming soup medicine Tang Bingyan took that had taken effect, Tang Bingyan suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

When Xu Tian heard the movement, he was still in a half-dreaming, half-waking state. He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to pull Tang Bingyan into his arms, but was suddenly pinned down by the person beside him.

"Wife?"

Being pinned down by Tang Bingyan, Xu Tian became completely awake.

Borrowing the moonlight from outside the window, he saw that there was no sleepiness at all in Tang Bingyan's cold black eyes; instead, she looked like a traveler in a snowstorm, full of defensiveness.

"Wife, where are you feeling uncomfortable?" He was a bit panicked.

Tang Bingyan wouldn't be having an episode at this time, would she?

Just as he subconsciously reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table, intending to call the family doctor over, Tang Bingyan suddenly grabbed his hand and pressed it against the pillow, then leaned down and kissed him... ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
