Chapter 115 Couple’s Contest
Chapter 115 Couple’s Contest
Harry paused, then added, “It’s a couples–only event–basically a partner competition.”
No wonder the place was filled with pairs holding hands or sharing quick kisses.

Hannah glanced up and finally noticed the Valentine’s Day banner right above the stage. How had she missed it until now?
“We’re already here,” Harry said casually. “Might as well give it a shot. Even if we don’t win, at least you’ll have something to tell Skyler.”
Hannah really wanted to say no, but the thought of going back empty–handed–and Skyler’s likely disappointment–made her hesitate.
Half an hour later, it was their turn. Each heat had ten couples competing.
The contest was split into three rounds. The first was a group elimination: each set of couples faced off in a partnered physical challenge, with the winning pair from each group moving on. The second round would narrow it down to the top three, and the final round would award prizes based on overall ranking.
The first challenge was simple: a three–legged race. Both Harry and Hannah worked out regularly, so they moved quickly and in sync. They won their heat easily.
Round two was trickier: passing a balloon from mouth to mouth without using hands. They started off awkwardly, dropping the balloon twice and falling way behind. But before long, they found their rhythm and got completely into it. Once their coordination clicked again, they managed to clinch third place in the round, securing a spot in the finals.
The last round was hosted by an energetic emcee. She asked questions about each partner’s preferences and habits; both people had to write down their answers at the same time, then reveal them together.
The top three would be decided by which couple had the highest match rate.
That rule made Hannah nervous. Even though she and Harry had known each other for years, she couldn’t honestly claim she knew him well… not really.
If they were exposed as a fake couple in front of everyone, it would be beyond embarrassing.
Harry seemed to sense her worry. Before stepping on stage, he leaned close and whispered, “If you’re not sure, just guess. Or write whatever.”

His tone was light, almost playful.
Hannah met his eyes. “You too.”
But she did feel a little better once he’d said it.

On stage, the emcee complimented them on looking like a perfect match, then jumped right into the questions.
First question, directed at Harry, “Sir, what’s your girlfriend’s favorite hobby?”
A standard, harmless icebreaker–but for a pretend couple, still tricky.
Hannah glanced toward Harry, but he was already writing his answer.
She had no choice but to do the same.
But… her favorite hobby?
It used to be traveling–collecting postcards and little trinkets from different places, just like someone she once knew. These days, though, she was more of a homebody, and if she had to pick, online shopping was probably her go–to.
After a brief hesitation, Hannah wrote “traveling“, based on what she figured Harry would remember about her.
When they lifted their boards, Hannah’s stomach fluttered nervously–but almost instantly, the crowd broke into cheers.
She looked over. Both boards read “traveling“.
Harry caught her eye and gave her a faint, reassuring smile. Hannah smiled back.
The emcee laughed approvingly and moved right along. Next question was for Hannah. “For our lovely lady here—what time of day does your boyfriend usually shower?”
A wave of playful oohs and chuckles rippled through the audience.
The question was a little cheeky, testing not only how well they knew each other but also how close they really were.
Hannah peeked at Harry, but he was already writing, seemingly unworried whether she’d get it right.
eft with no other option, Hannah steadied herself and put down her best guess.
