Chapter 23 Passing The Test

Xiaoyi was about to speak when the lady continued.

Let's move to second round. All the female partner should follow me, the lady announced and Xiaoyi had to make a move.

I will try my best to win, Xiaoyi said with a sad smile.

Hmm, Lu Yi hummed without looking at her.

You guys fought, Yanhui asked when she noticed Lu Yi's frigid aura.

None of your business, Lu Yi responded with cold gaze causing Yanhui to gulp nervously.

Just get her a gift, apologize and everything will be fine, Yanhui advised.

What does Miss Xiaohui think about my offer, Zhang Ming asked.

Mr Zhang can find other ladies.

After an hour of waiting, Lu Yi and the rest of the male contestants were called in.

During the hour, Yanhui finally agreed to take the matchmaking test with Zhang Ming.

When Lu Yi entered, he was brought directly to the kitchen with the instructions to cook any desired food.

Lu Yi then cooked the exact dishes he cooked at the cave.

After all the male contestants were done, their food were arranged at different tables and the male contestants were taken to another room.

Lu Yi was surprised cause the room they were taken to were full of different set of dishes.

These are the food prepared by your respective partner. If a couple can accurately guess their partners dishes, you win the second round, the lady announced.

Lu Yi simply glanced through the dishes.

Xiaoyi had once said she didn't know how to cook so maybe the unsatisfactory dishes will be her dish, Lu Yi thought.

Then he spotted a dish, dumplings. He immediately went to taste the dish. It tasted horrible, even the shape was irregular. Lu Yi forcibly swallowed. He did not even bother tasting the other dishes and raised his hand.

This is what she prepared, Lu Yi said.

Congratulations, Mister.

You can have your seat to wait for your partner's answer.

Xiaoyi was scanning around the food and saw the exact food prepared by Lu Yi at the cave.

Without tasting it, she raised her hand.

This is my partner dish, she said proudly.

Congratulations, the winner for the second round is the number 6 contestants, the lady announced again.

Move to the next room, the lady said to the ladies.

They comply and went to the room.

Misters, please come to the room, another lady announced.

The ladies were asked to stand behind a thick fabric but their legs were to be exposed. If their partners can pick them out from all the ladies, then they are the final winner.

To cut the long story short, Xiaoyi and Lu Yi were declared the winner.

Please, make your way to the marriage bridge, the lady ushered.

Xiaoyi and Lu Yi moved and finally got to the marriage bridge.

Xiaoyi was scared.

The bridge was built on the air as the reins were not tight enough.

It had been there for more than a decade so the reins should not be strong enough. The planks are not even arranged close to each other, why not just end our life, Xiaoyi thought nervously.

You can now cross the bridge, the lady said handing them a lock.

Let's go, Lu Yi said and held Xiaoyi's hand.

Why are you doing, Xiaoyi jerked backward.

Aren't you scared, Lu Yi asked.

Who told you I am, Xiaoyi denied.

I am sorry, Lu Yi said after a while.

Xiaoyi: "....",

Why is he apologizing, Xiaoyi thought.

I shouldn't have taken my anger in you. You were not even the cause of her death, why was I angry at you instead of myself, Lu Yi said feeling inexplicable.

Here we are, Xiaoyi said

Give it to me, Xiaoyi said while Lu Yi was confused.

The lock, Xiaoyi said again and Lu Yi handed it over to her.

Xiaoyi tied the lock on the tree and smiled.

I accept your apology. Also, I want to hear the full story, Xiaoyi said and grinned.

This time, she took the initiative to hold Lu Yi's hand. Her palm was small that she could hardly wrap her hand around Lu Yi's big hand.

Lu Yi smiled gently.

Welcome, a lady said.

Here is the marriage amulet, the lady handed two amulet to them.

Sorry, our master can not receive you guys at the moment but if you can stay for dinner, you may get her blessings, the lady added before they could respond.

Please in, the lady said pointing a room to them.

Ok, Xiaoyi said and dragged Lu Yi in with her.
