"Oh? Two people?"
Lu Yanting pointed to the girl sitting on the bench not far away and said slowly, "Han Bing is fine too, you can go and call her."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang shook his head and hurriedly said, "No! That activity is only for couples."
Lu Yanting smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Those prizes are either luxury trips for two or couple rings. It's obviously a couples-only event. This silly girl had to go to the event to find out that you have to be a couple to participate. I don't know whether to call her naive or innocent."
Lu Yanting deliberately frowned, pretending to be troubled, and said, "Really? But what can I do? I really don't need that 100,000 yuan, and I don't really want to go."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. That was 100,000 yuan! How could he give up such a lucrative opportunity so easily?
The man leaned down slightly, meeting the girl's clear eyes, and said softly with a hint of teasing, "Otherwise, you can try to convince me, like by being a little coquettish or something. If you do well, I might consider it. What do you think?"
Qiu Mang gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She forced a sweet smile, grabbed Lu Yanting's wrists, and shook them gently.
Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of coquettishness, like a clingy kitten: "Brother Yanting, I want to win an award, please help me, okay?"
Lu Yanting lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the girl beside him. A charming blush graced the girl's delicate face, her eyes clear and innocent, yet carrying a captivating allure that she herself was unaware of.
Upon seeing this, the man's heart stirred. He quickly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress the burning desire that was quietly surging in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Yanting didn't react for a long time, Qiu Mang became a little anxious. She simply stood on tiptoe, stretched out her warm hand, and gently placed it on the man's eyelids, softly and sweetly saying, "Brother Yanting, don't hide! Please answer me and open your eyes to look at me!"
Lu Yanting felt a gentle touch on his eyelids, and had no choice but to let Qiu Mang pry his eyelids open.
The moment he opened his eyes, the girl's pretty face, so close to his, came into view, and his gaze unconsciously fell on her soft, rosy lips.
As if by some strange twist of fate, the next second, Lu Yanting leaned slightly forward and lightly kissed the girl's lips.
Today, she seemed to be wearing strawberry-flavored lipstick, which had a soft, sweet texture and a subtle hint of strawberry sweetness.
He had always loved the taste of strawberries, so, unable to resist, he lowered his head slightly again and gently pecked those delicate lips a few more times.
What began as a tentative kiss gradually evolved into a passionate French kiss. Qiu Mang didn't flinch, simply letting him do as he pleased on her lips. After all, they had already experienced more intimate things together, so this didn't bother them anymore.
Just when things were about to get out of control, the man stopped, panting heavily.
Qiu Mang blinked her innocent, large eyes, which were full of expectation, and asked softly, "President Lu, can you come with me this time?"
Lu Yanting raised his hand, his slender fingers gently running through the girl's soft hair, caressing it lightly, but his tone revealed a hint of displeasure: "If I weren't here today, would you have just grabbed any man on the street and kissed him for that 100,000 yuan?"
Qiu Mang raised an eyebrow, her tone firm and confident: "No."
Lu Yanting had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qiu Mang continue, "I'm a sucker for good looks, how could I just pick anyone? If I'm going to pick someone, it has to be someone handsome!"
Lu Yanting choked, his lips twitched slightly, and he stared at her with a dark expression.
Qiu Mang grinned mischievously, revealing a sly smile: "Hehe, just kidding. Even if I wanted to find someone handsome, who in this world could be more handsome than you, President Lu? Don't you think so?"
"Sharp-tongued..." Although Lu Yanting still didn't have a good look on his face, his eyes had unconsciously softened.
After Lu Yanting finished speaking, he lifted his leg and walked straight ahead. Seeing this, Qiu Mang became anxious and shouted, "Mr. Lu! Where are you going?"
Lu Yanting didn't even turn his head, only saying, "Aren't you coming? Didn't you say you were going to win the grand prize?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang was overjoyed and quickly followed after him.
Qiu Mang pulled Lu Yanting through the bustling crowd, and under a coconut tree, a huge poster suddenly came into view. Qiu Mang looked closely and finally saw the details of the event.
It turns out that couples signed up for the competition on the spot. The rules required the boy to lift the girl up in his arms and then kiss her. If the girl's body touched the ground or their lips separated during the kiss, they would be eliminated. The three couples who made it to the end competed for first, second, and third place based on the length of their kiss.
Lu Yanting looked down at Qiu Mang, whose face was slightly flushed, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "I see. It seems that was just a warm-up rehearsal."
"Gentlemen, would you like to participate in the competition?" A staff member in a blue uniform approached and asked politely.
Lu Yanting raised an eyebrow and replied without hesitation, "I'll participate!"
A young woman among the staff deftly handed over a number tag, then turned to the crowd and announced loudly, "Now that fifty couples have gathered, the event will officially begin. Are you all ready?"
The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent, everyone holding their breath and waiting quietly for the host to give the order.
The girl in the blue uniform smiled and then said in a clear voice, "Very good, everyone, please find your places and stand in line. Our event will start promptly in two minutes!"
The group was standing on a beach. Lu Yanting looked around and found a relatively flat spot to stand in. He even walked back and forth a few times to test it out. After confirming that there were no problems, he beckoned Qiu Mang to come over.
"This 100,000 yuan is not so easy to get." Qiu Mang glanced around with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Around them, there was a couple who stood out, a truly adorable height difference couple.
The man was very tall, about the same height as Lu Yanting, probably around 1.9 meters, while the woman was the cute and cuddly type, about 1.55 meters tall. When the two stood side by side, at first glance, it looked like a father leading his daughter who was still in elementary school.
"Weren't you just shouting that you wanted 100,000 yuan? Why are you so deflated now?" Lu Yanting couldn't help but tease Qiu Mang, looking at his dejected appearance.
