"?"
Not withdrawing from the competition?
Lin Che doubted his ears were playing tricks on him.
The host had already made such an outrageous demand, and Luo Xue wasn't planning to withdraw?
That meant...
Lin Che's gaze shifted down from Luo Xue's face.
Her snow-white, slender, and elegant neck was tinged with a faint pink from nervousness, and a few tiny beads of sweat trickled down the curve of her neck.
"Lin Che, you... you, be gentle. My skin is very delicate; it'll leave marks if you just suck on it a little."
Luo Xue pulled open her collar, revealing her flawless, jade-like neck to Lin Che.
"You're the one who asked me to do it! Luo Xue, don't you dare post about me on Xiaohongshu afterward!"
Lin Che swallowed.
To leave his mark on the neck of the famous twin-tailed loli School Belle in the school, Lin Che was incredibly excited.
But at the same time, he didn't lose his head.
Lust is a double-edged sword; Lin Che didn't want to kiss Luo Xue today and become a cringey guy on Xiaohongshu tomorrow!
"Do you think I'd let just anyone kiss me? I'm letting you do this, so I definitely won't retaliate!"
With Luo Xue's assurance, Lin Che finally relaxed.
He lowered his head and kissed Luo Xue's icy, jade-like skin.
"Mwah~"
When Lin Che's lips left, a glaringly obvious hickey had appeared on Luo Xue's fair, jade-like neck.
Chapter 24: Guaranteed Victory
"Wow! What a sweet little couple!"
"Congratulations on passing the first round of the challenge!"
The Lolita host announced excitedly.
She didn't forget to wink at Lin Che, her gaze practically saying, "Aren't you going to thank big sis for helping you and your little girlfriend get closer?"
What was all this?
Lin Che hadn't expected that by helping Luo Xue participate in an event so haphazardly, he'd somehow become her boyfriend!
After Lin Che and Luo Xue's challenge ended, the host quickly moved on to the next pair of couples.
Lin Che released his embrace.
He had expected that after letting go of Luo Xue, this little fairy would hit him hard or secretly step on his foot.
But Luo Xue stood obediently beside him like a dazed little rabbit, even using her hand to adjust her white twin-tailed wig, trying to cover the hickey on her neck with her long braids.
Her attempt to conceal it only made it more obvious, and it was incredibly cute!
Soon, the first round of the competition ended.
The number of contestants on stage was directly halved!
It seemed many people, like Luo Xue, had just found a friend to pretend to be their significant other.
"Yay!"
Seeing the situation on stage, Luo Xue excitedly clenched her fist.
Eliminating half the competitors at once reignited Luo Xue's competitive spirit, and the embarrassment of getting a hickey lessened considerably.
In her opinion, the hardest part had been overcome.
From now on, no matter what the competition entailed, it wouldn't stump her!
That limited edition figurine seemed to be beckoning her!
Luo Xue secretly vowed in her heart that she would win the next round!
"Now, our 'CP Sweethearts Competition' moves on to the second round!"
The Lolita host advanced the competition's flow!
"Couples need to interlock their fingers and feed each other potato chips with their other hand."
"Finishing one bag of chips counts as completing the challenge. Everyone, pay attention to speed! Only the top ten will advance to the next round!"
For actual couples, this was nothing.
But for Lin Che...
Before he could even react, a cool, delicate little hand slipped into his palm, her five nimble, slender fingers weaving between his.
It was Luo Xue who had proactively reached out her hand!
Feeling the sensation of their fingers intertwined, Lin Che was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong? Never held hands with a girl before?"
"This…"
Honestly, he had.
But it was always when he was under hypnosis. Lin Che, worried about his act being discovered, could only let Gu Yilan hold his hand without being able to reciprocate.
It wasn't like now, where the touch in his hand was incredibly real. Luo Xue's fingers were tightly intertwined with his, and Lin Che held her small hand back.
"I've never held a guy's hand either…"
This was Luo Xue's first time holding hands with a guy. Seeing Lin Che's reaction, Luo Xue actually felt a little reassured. At least, it seemed like it was his first time too.
"Stop dawdling and feed me chips already."
Luo Xue used her free hand to grab a handful of chips and stuff them into Lin Che's mouth.
To win the competition, Luo Xue's movements were a bit rough. The soft pads of her fingers brushed against Lin Che's lips, making his heart flutter.
At the same time, Luo Xue opened her own small mouth.
Her pink inner cheeks seemed to radiate a sweet warmth, and a healthy pink tongue lay quietly within.
Lin Che also grabbed a few chips.
Before Lin Che could put the chips into Luo Xue's mouth, the twin-tailed girl actually took the initiative to suck on Lin Che's finger, snatching the chips from his hand!
The warm sensation on his finger made Lin Che's heart tremble even more!
With Luo Xue's efforts.
A bag of chips was completely devoured in just one minute.
Undoubtedly, they had successfully advanced to the next round!
The third round of the competition was for the boys to carry the girls and run a lap around the stage.
Lin Che, being a high school student, was in the prime of his youth. Even though he had just "cooked dumplings" with Gu Yilan in the locker room, he was still full of energy.
Moreover, Luo Xue was petite, only 1.5 meters tall, and as light as a feather.
Carrying her, Lin Che didn't exert much effort at all.
To get leverage, Lin Che's hands gripped Luo Xue's thighs. Although Luo Xue's legs were slender, they were by no means bony.
Most of Luo Xue's body weight rested on Lin Che's hands.
Due to gravity, Lin Che's fingers sank into the girl's thighs, and he could faintly feel the supple lines of her muscles!
In this round, Lin Che directly secured first place!
And then came the final round.
Only three couples remained on stage!
Although the top three would receive prizes from the organizers, only the first-place winner would get the limited edition collectible figurine!
Competition made people's blood boil, and even Luo Xue became spirited!
"Lin Che, we have to win first place!"
"After we win, I'll treat you to McDonald's!"
Perhaps it was because Lin Che had helped Luo Xue win first place in the previous round, but the girl temporarily set aside her reservations and began to treat Lin Che as her comrade.
"No problem!"
Infected by Luo Xue's fighting spirit, Lin Che felt his own blood boiling!
"Wow! The competition has entered a fever pitch!"
"There are only three couples left on the stage!"
"But only one couple can win the grand prize!"
The Lolita host hyped up the atmosphere, making it tense and exciting, causing adrenaline to surge!
At the same time, anticipation grew for what the final game would be!
"The last competition…"
"Of course, it's our most popular Pocky game for couples!"
The host announced the game and produced a box of Pocky biscuits!
Pocky biscuits are long, chocolate-coated sticks.
The rules of the Pocky game are also very simple: both individuals bite one end of the biscuit and start eating towards the middle. The game ends when the biscuit breaks.
The standard for judging victory is who has the shortest remaining biscuit length!
Lin Che had seen videos of this game online!
A boy and a girl facing each other, biting a biscuit, and as they ate, their distance closed, and they might even accidentally kiss!
This game was too intimate. At such close proximity, feeling each other's breath, all sorts of emotions would blossom as the distance between them shrank.
"Luo Xue, isn't this a bit too much..."
"No way, we're at the very end, I can't possibly give up now!"
Luo Xue was completely caught up in the moment!
She was only a tiny bit away from the limited edition figure she'd been dreaming of!
If she gave up now, wouldn't all the things that happened before—hugging Lin Che, holding his hand, him touching her thigh... wouldn't it all be meaningless!
Luo Xue's sunk cost was terrifyingly high right now.
She had no chance of turning back!
And so.
Luo Xue pulled a long biscuit from the cookie box, parted her glistening lips, and bit down on one end of the biscuit.
"Hurry..."
Luo Xue urged him anxiously.
Lin Che could only face Luo Xue and bite down on the other end of the biscuit.
Chapter Twenty-Five: The Biscuit
Now, only about ten centimeters separated Lin Che and Luo Xue.
They were facing each other, and this was the first time Lin Che had observed Luo Xue from such a close distance.
Beneath the white wig was the girl's pure and moving delicate face. Her long, curved eyelashes cast a dappled shadow over her beautiful eyes, which had slightly upturned corners, making Luo Xue appear rather haughty.
Within those clear pupils, a hint of shyness would occasionally flash, like a small fish in a clear pond, disappearing into the depths at the slightest disturbance.
Her delicate, upturned nose had a rounded tip, and her touchably soft, tender skin was flushed with a rosy hue.
Her delicate, dewy lips parted slightly, and the girl held a chocolate biscuit in her pretty mouth.
The scene before him was breathtakingly beautiful, making his heart race!
