C15 Sweet Activity
Every move of hers attracted the cheers of all the onlookers. Even Su Yue was clapping happily for them.
This atmosphere caused her to be so happy that she forgot herself. All these years, other than her closest friends who smiled so brilliantly, there had never been anyone who could make her laugh so heartily.
When the dance music changed to another elegant and quiet song, everyone on the stage held their breath. Those who were enjoying the dance saw the women on the stage suddenly stop. Some of them covered their mouths in excitement, some were so happy that they were about to cry, while most of them looked forward to it.
Those who were curious turned around and saw that the men behind them were all dressed in black, with a tie around their necks. Their shoes were polished and their hair was neatly trimmed. They held red roses in their hands and appeared in front of everyone.
It was a refreshing feeling to see such an official man on the stage and the person who had just been cooking.
Su Yue sat calmly and looked at the rose that had been taken away from the table. Her heart was slightly moved. Although she knew that no one would fall for her tonight, she was still a woman and would always have some expectations.
When they looked over, they saw Lu Yichen, who was tall and conspicuous among the crowd. He threw her a coquettish glance, causing Su Yue to immediately feel goosebumps all over her body.
How did this person become so unreserved in such a short time?
"Very well, please get up and welcome the lady at the dining table to the stage."
Su Yue, who was sitting below the stage, finally realized what was going on. Pointing her index finger at herself, she slowly walked up to stand at the edge of the stage with disbelief apparent on her face.
"Now, ladies, please turn your back on us all." He instructed.
Hearing her words, everyone did as she said. However, the nervousness on their faces betrayed their uneasiness. Other than Su Yue and Yue Ran who were indifferent, the rest of them seemed to be nervous.
"Alright, now please bring your roses and stand behind the person you like best in your heart. If not, please also bring flowers and give her the answer in your heart. Of course, we ladies also have the same choice. If you turn around and face the person who is not your lover, then please also take a step back and let them give up on their obsession and face a better life in the future."
The men walked behind the people they had chosen. Some of them looked serious, some relaxed, and some didn't know what to do. From the expressions on their faces, it was clear how much courage they had used.
The same women, nervously tugging at the hem of their clothes, scratching their fingers, biting their lips, their hearts racing.
"Alright, now that all the men are in position, I'm sure everyone is looking forward to who will win our championship. Now let's count down to three, one... 2... "3. Please turn around, Madam."
The person with his back to the audience slowly turned around, even somewhat afraid and resisting, afraid that the person behind him was not the person he was thinking about.
Su Yue turned around and looked up at him, sighing.
A gust of cold air drifted across his heart. This time, he was completely finished.
"You don't seem very happy to see me? Do I have to eat people? "
"No, you're thinking too much." Su Yue raised an awkward yet polite smile.
She suppressed the words that came out of her mouth as she reached out to scratch the back of her head while maintaining a mischievous smile on her face.
"Alright, my friends, now is the time for our men to confess. If the men choose to hold hands, then please pass the flowers to the lady opposite you. If both parties choose to reject, then please hold the flowers and step back. Let the two men become friends with each other. The men will give you three seconds to make your choice."
The men standing in front of the ladies quickly used these three seconds to lower their heads and ponder, wondering what they should do after these three seconds.
To others, three seconds was like a year. To Su Yue and Lu Yichen, it was only three seconds.
"Alright, time's up. Can the men please tell us your answer?"
In such a tense moment, everyone held their breath, and even somewhat exaggeratedly took out their paper towels in advance in case they needed them.
Lu Yichen didn't give her or step back, but the two of them just stood there.
Su Yue didn't care about his choice. On the contrary, she knew very well that it was impossible for her to be with Lu Yichen.
The two of them looked at the others in a daze, feeling a bit regretful for those who had not succeeded in holding hands. The two of them changed their attitude and stood to the side as if they were eating a melon.
The only thing he did was to not ask anyone to bring a chair for the two of them to sit down and watch the play with the melon seeds.
Their choice was related to each other's feelings. Seeing someone happy while someone was crying while someone seemed to not care, Su Yue felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart. Her pretty eyebrows were knitted together in tears of others.
However, what made them surprised was that the guy swapped roses with Lu Yichen and handed them over to Yue Yue. The two of them were greatly shocked by his decision and almost fell down on the spot.
She really couldn't appreciate his gaze.
They all agreed in their hearts that this brother had a heavy taste. No wonder he was the first to ask when they heard that they were going to change targets. It turned out that he had taken a liking to someone else.
"Looks like you've been disliked." Lu Yichen knocked his arm against hers and opened his mouth.
Su Yue snorted coldly as she glanced at him.
"We are of the same mind."
Did he have the nerve to say that to himself? It was unknown who had the disdain for Jump written all over his face then. How could he have the face to laugh at me now?
"Alright, now please keep your friends who have succeeded in holding hands for a while. Those of us who are not lucky enough to be lovers, please go back to your seats and adjust your attitude. Also, you can also think about why you should reject the person in front of you. Thank you."
Of the fifteen couples, at least eight of them were successful. Of course, Su Yue and her companion were not included among them. At most, they could be considered as friends for now.
The two didn't think too much and were prepared to pretend that they failed after hearing that they could get off the stage. However, this move was not let go of them. The host Weiwei called out to the two, "Please wait a moment."
The two people stopped in their tracks, feeling like they had been discovered sneaking around. They slowly turned around to face her, and quickly organized their thoughts in their minds and spoke in an embarrassed tone, "About that … "Call us two …"
Su Yue, who didn't know what to say, could only focus her gaze on him. She just hoped that he could explain everything in front of the cameras quickly so that everyone wouldn't misunderstand and her mother, who had been paying more attention to her, wouldn't misunderstand.
"There's no need to be nervous, please come to the middle of the stage." She gestured an invitation to the two of them, and Su Yue braced herself to walk over. The two of them stood side by side in the middle, smiling as they watched the camera turn around.
"It's like this. Just now, I noticed that we men did not step back, and you, Madam, also received the rose. Does this mean that you two have succeeded in holding hands?"
However, what troubled the young ladies was that if the two of them were successful in holding hands, then they wouldn't even have the chance to talk to each other.
Aunt Su, who was nervous during the year, sat in front of the TV screen and stared at the screen without blinking. She clenched her hand tightly, afraid that her silly daughter would reject such a mature and outstanding man just to anger her.
On the other side, Lu Miaomiao, who was about to go out on a date, felt angry when she received a message from her friend. She was originally in a good mood, but now, her face looked as if someone had snatched something she loved.
He turned off his cell phone and changed his route. Then, he walked outside with a resentful expression on his face as he stepped on his high heels.
At this moment, a pair of black car waiting outside the villa area had a sinister smile on their lips as they watched Lu Miaomiao drive away. The aura that he was emitting was as cold as if they had fallen into an icehouse.

As the atmosphere in the stadium changed, Su Yue was lying when she said that she wasn't nervous. She looked at Lu Yichen for help, but caught a flash of expectation in his eyes.
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, but when she wanted to confirm, he returned to normal. He held the microphone tightly, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your attention on us, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you today. Mr. Lu and I have always been friends, and this bouquet of roses only came into my hands as gifts between us."
As her words left her mouth, the women around her heaved a sigh of relief and patted their chests.
Lu Yichen, who was standing beside her, felt depressed when he heard her rejection.
Am I not worthy of her?
In the end, it stopped on Su Yue. She took the microphone from Su Yue and put it to her mouth, "Right, what Little Su said is true, we are indeed just friends. Thank you for your attention, and next, please set your sights on someone else. Thank you."
With that, he nodded to everyone with Su Yue. When he saw the other people's hands with the microphone in his hand, he took her hand and led her down, leaving the arena to the others.
The two of them left the stage and returned to their seats. She placed the rose in her hand to the side and looked at the sky with a glowing expression.
Hearing the host ask their questions, his thoughts drifted away.
When Aunt Su, who had just been discharged from the hospital, heard Su Yue's reply, she suffered from another headache. She lay on the sofa weakly with a pillow towel wrapped around her head again. The cold air had been adjusted to the lowest.
"Grandmother, don't be like this. Auntie will definitely find uncle." Su Jingxi sat beside her and comforted her.
Nini also stood by her side, holding her ice-cold palm with worry. "Grandma, this young noble was right. Don't worry."
Although she also felt that it was a pity that her father wasn't able to hold hands with her.
Father Su, who was sitting on her leg, rolled his eyes at her. He picked up the remote control on the table and switched channels, then slowly said, "Old grandma, children have their own children. Don't be so concerned."
