"Victor, don't work too hard later." Mary quietly leaned and whispered into Victor's ear. "The man next to you seems hard to deal with."
"I know," whispered Victor back. He then patted her shoulder and said, "Come on."
"Okay." Mary nodded then jumped on his back.
"Okay, since everyone is ready, the game begins now!"
As soon as the host gave the cue, five pairs of man and woman ran towards the finishing line.
"Come on, Victor! You can make it!" Mary shouted excitedly on his back.
"Is that girl calling Victor's name?" Several girls in the crowd pointed at Mary and whispered,
"I can't hear her clearly. It's too loud in here!"
"Maybe their names are just similar. Besides, how could Victor be here?"
It was very easy for Victor to carry Mary on his back. The other four groups were far behind, and the burly man was already out of breath after two steps. Don't judge a person by his appearance!
"Great!" Mary and Victor first arrived at the finish line. Mary grabbed the bar quickly and shouted, "Let's go back quickly, Victor! Faster!"
"Okay!"
And with that, they rushed to the starting point.
Mary picked up the bar. Facing her, Victor held her head with his hands.
Victor tilted his head and leaned forward. Unexpectedly, the cap fell down, but he had no time to pick it up.
Mary was stunned and forgot how to react for a moment. There was not much left of the chocolate bar.
It was not until Victor rang the bell that she came to her senses. She heard sighs of defeat and regret beside her.
"Oh my God! We won!" Mary shouted, feeling exhilarated.
"Yes, we won." Victor was a little breathless, but he smiled happily as well.
"It seems that the man is really Victor!"
"Really?"
"Hurry up! Post it on WeChat moments!" "It's going to be on fire. I can't believe I actually saw Victor!"
"Congratulations to all the handsome men and beautiful women who have won," the host said with a smile. "Next, there will be an intense finals. Are you ready? I can't hear you! Are you ready?!"
"Ready!" Mary shouted excitedly. Meanwhile, Victor was so immersed in joy he had completely forgotten his cap. They also forgot that they were in public.
The competition continued. When the contest had ended, Mary and Victor narrowly won the game.
"We won! We won! We won!"
As soon as the competition was over, Mary excitedly threw herself into Victor's arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yes, we won!" Victor hugged Mary back. He felt extremely exhilarated to have won with Mary.
"Congratulations! You two won the first place!" The host smiled and invited the two to the center of the stage. "What do you feel right now?"
"Happy!" Mary answered on the microphone. Her smile was undisguised, she could not control her happiness right now.
"Well..." The host looked at Victor and was a little dumbfounded to have recognized him. 'Isn't this Victor?'
"I'm happy too." Before the host could say anything, Victor had already opened his mouth and answered.
"Well..." The host cleared his throat and continued, "You two are so happy. Can you show us a dance? How about a little dance for winning?"
"What?" Mary frowned in confusion. "What dance?"
"Okay! Come some music!" The host raised his arms and yelled at the top of his lungs. He then turned on the music and the beat reverberated in the square.
Mary was stunned and speechless. She thought that there was no way she would dance. She was just asking a question!
"You are my apple. I love you so much..."
When the music had started, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
Mary was speechless again. She did not know what to do so she looked at Victor instead.
"Come on, follow me!" Victor smiled and jumped into music.
A star was indeed a star. Victor just jumped into the music and showed such amazing moves. Every move exuded a charm that could not be underestimated.
Looking at Victor, Mary was still not convinced.
She also jumped into the music, and sang as she danced.
"Good job!" Victor looked at Mary and praised her.
The more the two jumped, the more excited the audience became. Victor and Mary looked mesmerizing to watch so the audience took out their smartphones and took photos.
"Victor! Victor!"
Slowly, the audience recognized Victor. The entire square was like concert scene where everyone shouted his name rhythmically.
"Damn it!" Mary suddenly shouted, realizing the bad position they were in. "We have to run!"
"Okay." Frowning, he nodded. He forgot to hide his identity.
A group of paparazzi nearby heard the noise and rushed over. The whole scene was about to lose control.
"Hold me. Don't let go. We have to run," said Victor. He saw a small gap in the crowd and figured it was good enough for them to run there. "Okay." Mary nodded her head heavily and held Victor's hand tightly.
"Wait!" At this critical moment, Mary shouted, "Our prize."
After saying that, she let go of Victor's hand and ran to the prize platform. When she returned, she was carrying two iPhone 6s in her arms, leaving the host with his mouth wide open.
"Ha ha!" Victor could not help but laugh at Mary's action.
