By the time the two emerged from the mall after finishing their Jetroinian meal, darkness had already fallen. Meanwhile, a stage had been set up at the mall's entrance. There was possibly an event going on that night.

At eight sharp, the Valentine's Day event began.

At eight sharp, the Valentine's Day event began.

The first event was called “A Lover in Need is a Lover Indeed.” After the couples got on stage, one of them would be blindfolded, while the other would guide their blindfolded partner with their voice through a five-meter path littered with obstacles. As long as a couple knocked down less than three obstacles, they would be able to win a Polaroid camera.

Obviously, if they didn't knock anything down, they would win the lock and key necklaces worth nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

No sooner had the host finished explaining the terms and details than the crowd below raised their hands enthusiastically wanting to participate.

Given that young couples were both daring and energetic, they made up all five couples who were chosen in the first round.

Thereafter, the stage was littered with comical scenes. Some of the blindfolded participants kept walking upon hearing the instructions, even if they weren't given by their own partners.

At the end of the first round, three couples came off the stage without winning anything.

The challenge might have sounded simple, but everyone soon realized how difficult it was in reality.

The organizers had a good grasp of human psychology. When one had to walk blindfolded in such a chaotic environment, one not only has to contend with the crowd's disruptive noise but also has to deal with the inherent panic from losing the sense of direction.

Watching the event on stage, Sophia couldn't help turning around and asking Alexander, “Do you think we have good teamwork, Mr. Xenos?”

Alexander cocked a brow in response. “Do you want to try?”

Sophia shook her head. “I think it is interesting.”

While both of them were speaking, an abrupt silence descended upon the scene.

When Sophia and Alexander stopped talking too, a girl by their side told her, “Miss, the host seems to be pointing at the two of you!”

Just as the girl had spoken, one of the event staff approached them with a smile. “Mister, miss, you have been randomly selected to participate in the game on stage to win some prizes. Please come with me.”

Sophia raised a surprise brow. “Randomly selected?”

The staff broke into a gentle smile, oblivious to the underlying meaning of Sophia's question. “Yes, miss. You and your boyfriend have been chosen to play the game on stage. If you succeed, you'll be able to win the grand prize worth nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.”

Sophia let out a chuckle. “It's fine. Let someone else have the opportunity.”

The staff found it hard to believe that Sophia had turned it down. “Miss, our specially designed key and lock necklaces are extremely beautiful and intricate. You'll stand a chance to win as long as you play the game. Do you really not want to try?”

At eight shorp, the Volentine's Doy event begon.

The first event wos colled “A Lover in Need is o Lover Indeed.” After the couples got on stoge, one of them would be blindfolded, while the other would guide their blindfolded portner with their voice through o five-meter poth littered with obstocles. As long os o couple knocked down less thon three obstocles, they would be oble to win o Poloroid comero.
