He hadn't even waited for his fiancée to return, but with Mu Yin Yin's appearance, he seemed like a completely different person.
During the game with her, he remained silent, his dark expression as if he were about to destroy the world. But upon making eye contact with Mu Yin Yin, the moment she spoke to him, his face was filled with a smile, and the tenderness and light in his eyes were clearly visible to her!
Qi Mo's lips were tightly pressed, but he also noticed the mist in Ai Mi's eyes. "Ai Mi, play this game properly with me. I don't want to discuss other matters for now. You'll understand when the time comes."
Before Ai Mi could say anything more, Qi Mo had already turned his head.
Ai Mi noticed his gaze and understood everything.
In the end, she pursed her lips and said no more.
The relay race, with the shortest time and the best coordination, determined the champions.
Upon arriving at the banquet, all the female guests were in long trailing gowns, even wearing high heels of several centimeters. They were pampered young ladies and wealthy wives who were accustomed to a life of leisure at home.
Such events were rare for them.
As soon as the host shouted "Start," chaos ensued. Some twisted their ankles, others stepped on their skirts, and some teams collided.
As for Mu Yin Yin?
She didn't care about her image. She took off her high heels, gathered her long trailing skirt, and ran on the track with Fu Si Ye.
In two minutes and thirty-four seconds, they became the champions of the event with the shortest time.
Qi Mo and Ai Mi behind them took three minutes and forty-three seconds, making them the third-place winners without a doubt.
Another pair took five minutes, securing the second place.
However, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. With two championships already secured by Fu Si Ye and Mu Yin Yin out of five games, if they were to succeed in the remaining three, the first prize would undoubtedly be theirs.
They had also incurred the envy of others.
As the long jump event began, Mu Yin Yin sensed someone stepping on her skirt.
She pulled Fu Si Ye and called out to the host on stage, "Host, for the long jump, I think the participants should maintain a certain distance. Wouldn't any accidents significantly affect performance?"
Her words immediately drew the displeasure and resistance of those who were jealous. "What distance do we need to maintain for the long jump? Aren't we all lining up here? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've won two championships in a row!"
"So many people are waiting for it to start. Why are you wasting everyone's time here?"
"Are you deliberately trying to mess with people's minds?"
...
Before the host could even speak, some envious individuals started to attack Mu Yin Yin. Seeing the indifferent faces of these people, Mu Yin Yin was too lazy to argue with them.
However, Fu Si Ye spoke up before her, "If we don't maintain a distance, all the female guests here are wearing long gowns. If their skirts are stepped on and they fall and get injured, who will bear the responsibility?"
Fu Si Ye cast a sharp glance at everyone, his calm, cold words exuding immense pressure. "Besides, she's merely offering an opinion. The main decision rests with the organizers. The host hasn't even spoken yet, so why are you all in such a hurry?"
Some who had intended to speak shrunk back. Fu Si Ye's imposing aura deterred them from making a sound.
This time, even Qi Mo, who had been at odds with Fu Si Ye for the past two days, chimed in to support them. "They merely got lucky and won two championships? What? Are you all sore losers?"
A faint smile played on Qi Mo's lips, but no one took his smile as genuine. Instead, they felt as if it concealed a poisoned blade.
Seeing the situation, the host quickly moved to stabilize the situation and adopted Mu Yin Yin's suggestion. "Everyone, please be quiet. I find this point raised by this lady to be very reasonable. Let's maintain a one-meter effective distance. After all, if an accident occurs, no one can bear the responsibility."
However, addressing the general envy and dissatisfaction, the host added, "All the games conducted at this Feast of Bliss have been judged by professional referees. We absolutely do not have any predetermined winners or favoritism! We welcome everyone's enthusiastic participation, but we will never allow anyone to suppress or target others behind their backs!"
Upon hearing this, the venue immediately fell silent.
In the long jump event, as it was a paired competition, one leg of each pair had to be tied together. The two would jump together, and the furthest distance would win.
Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye participated in the middle.
The performance of the first few pairs was not impressive, with one pair even failing to jump beyond their starting spot. After all, it wasn't one person, but two.
Furthermore, with the female guests having to hold up their long skirts, they couldn't exert their full strength.
Qi Mo and Ai Mi jumped, achieving a distance of eighty centimeters, a result far exceeding that of the previous pair.
Just when everyone thought Qi Mo and Ai Mi had achieved the best result, Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye leaped an astonishing 1.2 meters.
This distance left everyone present stunned.
After all, they were two people, not one!
If the previous performance was considered luck for Fu Si Ye and Mu Yin Yin, what about this one? This was clearly the skill of the duo!
During the jump, Fu Si Ye circled Mu Yin Yin's waist, bearing her entire weight on his own.
He moved with the lightness of a swallow, as if Mu Yin Yin were not even there.
"My goodness, this is truly amazing! I'm impressed!"
"This is already their third championship. With only two left, I don't think there's any need to continue the competition; they should just be declared the winners!"
...
Gasps of admiration came from the crowd, but these were not meant to belittle them, but rather expressed awe and admiration.
Of course, as the games began, and with fairness and justice being paramount, predetermined winners were out of the question.
However, no one after that managed to surpass Fu Si Ye and Mu Yin Yin's record, nor did anyone manage to beat Qi Mo and Ai Mi's score.
The long jump concluded. The idiom chain game was not a difficult task, but maintaining a smooth flow was challenging.
In the end, only Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye, and Qi Mo and Ai Mi, the two pairs, remained in contention.
The host presented the next prompt.
"Ji Er Lian San."
"San Xin Er Yi." Mu Yin Yin directly responded to the host's prompt, then tossed the question to Qi Mo. Qi Mo, without haste, replied, "Yi Wei Shen Chang."
"Chang Ming Bai Sui." Fu Si Ye stated with a cold, sharp tone, answering swiftly.
Qi Mo also quickly responded, his expression solemn, "Sui Sui Ping An."
"An Zhi Ruo Su."
"Su Nian Jin Shi."
"Shi He Sui Ren."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mo's side fell silent. His mind raced, searching for an idiom beginning with the character 'Ren'. He knew the idiom, but the character 'Ren' eluded him for the moment.
