“Last time, I saw two people answer 'a' and they were immediately eliminated."

"Yes, it's a trick question. If you've never dated, obviously coming to Golden Bee Paradise today isn't a date either. They're just pretending to be a couple to participate in the game."

Many players in the central courtyard of the amusement park were chatting with their companions.

Loren felt relieved hearing the surrounding voices.

This game was nothing special.

He and Juliana had been on at least one date, so they wouldn't be judged as a fake couple.

Before long, the answer on Talia's small blackboard was [d. 100 times or more].

The answer on Lan Qi's small blackboard was also [d. 100 times or more].

He figured that according to Talia's definition, she probably thought that any time she went out to eat alone with a man counted as a date. If that was the case, then starting from the southern Vantina border territory, they had often gone out together.

The Cat Boss glared at Lan Qi.

No way, Alan, you can actually match her?

"Ooh, ooh, ooh!"

"I'm very sorry. Earlier, I saw you two bump into each other and even questioned the authenticity of your relationship. I was being presumptuous," the host and activity administrator said apologetically, and a burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

The longer the couple had been together, the better the show!

New couples didn't have much to share, which was boring.

Inside the Color Delusion Classroom in the Shadow World.

Lan Qi and Talia could only hear each other's voices, the music, the host's voice, and the cheers from the audience below the stage, which were being transmitted from the real world by the director.

After seeing that the answers on each other's hands were both [d], they were relieved but also a little embarrassed.

The good news was that the game could continue.

The bad news was that they seemed to have been temporarily mistaken for a couple.

"You two can choose to quit or continue now. What do you choose? However, answering only one question doesn't get you any rewards. You only get a Golden Bee coin for participating. To get the commemorative Animal Forest Chocolate Gift Box, you need to answer at least three questions," the host asked.

"Continue," Lan Qi replied.

The first question was okay, but it wasn't the effect he wanted. He wanted Loren to see the danger of this game.

Talia also nodded.

"Very good, then here comes the second question."

The host smiled, and the cartoon character drew another card from mid-air, glanced at it, and tore it open to reveal a floating banner—

[Question 2 (Male & Female): What was your first impression of each other?]

[A pitiful, homeless old woman.]

[An annoying rich young master.]

The answers appeared on their respective small blackboards.

Instantly, they looked at each other in surprise.

"Pfft."

The host was amused.

The central courtyard in the real world erupted in cheers.

"This answer is too much like a pair of mismatched lovers."

"How did they go from disliking each other to becoming like this now?"

Inside the Shadow World Classroom.

Talia saw Lan Qi's answer and glared at him fiercely.

Although Lan Qi had explained last time that when he first saw her in the southern Vantina territory, he had mistaken her, dressed as a gray-cloaked refugee, for an old woman, and only later realized that she was a beautiful young girl—which was why he named the painting "Poor, Pitiful Old Woman."

But now that she confirmed that Lan Qi really thought that way, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Lan Qi glanced at Talia's answer and her gaze, and shifted his eyes guiltily.

Back then, Talia, homeless and hungry, was sleeping at the foot of the city wall, while he was feeding the cat with high-quality fragrant chicken next to her. Talia was indeed furious with him at the time.

"You two, congratulations on completing two questions. Do you want to continue?" the host asked with a smile.

"Continue."

This time, Talia answered the host's question with a commanding air.

Lan Qi nodded along with her.

"Okay, please look at the question."

[Question 3 (Female): What is your happiest memory with him?]

For the first time, there was a question that needed to be answered by only one person, and the other person could skip this round.

[Lying in bed being fed by him.]

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Talia covered her face.

Before she could even react, the answer had already appeared on the small blackboard.

Recalling when her right hand was injured in the southern Vantina territory, she leaned against the headboard and was fed by Lan Qi. It was really pleasant.

"Hmph..."

Lan Qi couldn't hold it in and laughed.

Immediately, Talia glared at him again. He turned his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and dared not look Talia in the eye.

"You're not allowed to laugh anymore..." Talia said through gritted teeth.

"I'm not laughing..." Lan Qi's voice trembled slightly.

"You two look good when you smile, but I'm looking at the questions. I'm not sure if you'll continue to smile after the later questions appear," the host asked the two of them. He was now feeling more and more into the game.

The first few questions were often milder, but the further you went, the more dangerous they became. It was easy for a question to tear the relationship between couples apart.

If nothing unexpected happened, a dangerous question would be coming soon.

Often, one question was enough for couples to understand each other's hidden thoughts.

"Continue?" Lan Qi asked Talia with a teasing look.

Although they could get the Animal Forest Chocolate Gift Box by playing this round.

But he was really having too much fun and hadn't been this happy in a long time.

"..."

If they weren't answering questions in the Golden Bee Paradise in front of everyone, Talia would have wanted to pinch this guy's cheeks on the spot. Seeing his gloating look was really annoying!

"Continue!" Talia's voice was like saying, "Who's afraid of who!"

She felt like she was getting carried away.

At worst, she would just explode with this newbie today.

[Question 4 (Male): What do you think of her? Answer with the first four words that come to mind.]

The card in the host's hand turned into a banner and appeared in mid-air in the classroom.

The answer instantly appeared on Lan Qi's small blackboard.

[Pretty, edible, older, useless]

Lan Qi was immediately covered in sweat and wanted to escape this trial on the spot.

"It's, it's already okay."

Lan Qi prepared to stand up, forcing a smile.

He believed that at this point, he could completely make Loren understand how dangerous this game was. If he continued to play, he estimated that he would be the one to go first.

However, Lan Qi found that he couldn't stand up no matter what.

Talia's fair little hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Come, let's continue playing," she said with a smile.

Lan Qi had never seen Talia show such a kind smile, and the smile made Lan Qi's body feel frozen.

"Okay?" Her voice became a little gentler.

"Okay..." Lan Qi was as frightened as a student and sat up straight obediently.
