Gu Qichen simply held the pen, the tip gliding across the page.
There was no expression on his face.
In less than five minutes, several people had written down their answers.
The village chief collected all the task cards.
The village chief said: "Next, let’s unveil the answers."
The first couple is Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
Please, Mrs. Gu, co forward.
Xia Yangyang felt her heart skip a beat.
She felt like she was going to give herself away.
All eyes were focused on Xia Yangyang.
The village chief said: "We have five questions now, Mr. Gu has written answers for these five questions. If Mrs. Gu’s answers match Mr. Gu’s, you’ll earn twenty points."
Xia Yangyang felt dood.
Now they would have to live in a thatched cottage.
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt quite sorry for Xia Ye.
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s nervousness, the village chief quickly reassured her: "Don’t worry, Mrs. Gu, the questions are not difficult. They are all about testing how well a father knows the mother, so Mrs. Gu just needs to answer truthfully."
The village chief posed the first question: "Mrs. Gu, what is your favorite food?"
Xia Yangyang was montarily stunned but almost without thinking said, "Braised pork."
The village chief cheered happily: "That’s correct, Mr. Gu wrote braised pork, add twenty points."
When the village chief announced the answer, Xia Yangyang’s heart was inadvertently touched.
Gu Qichen actually knew her favorite dish.
In fact, Xia Yangyang did not usually have a particular obsession with any food.
But as soon as the village chief asked the question, the answer seed to spring from her subconscious and she blurted it out without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qichen had written exactly that.
It must be a coincidence.
The village chief continued: "The second question, what is Mrs. Gu’s favorite color?"
This one wasn’t hard, Xia Yangyang answered, "White."
"Correct again, add twenty points."
"The third question, what is your birthday, Mrs. Gu."
"November 11th."
"Correct, add twenty points," the village chief added, "This is an easy question. But if any father gets it wrong, it becos a deadly question."
Xia Yangyang’s previously tense heart inexplicably cald down.
"The fourth question, a bit more challenging, na your favorite movie."
Xia Yangyang was montarily at a loss.
Her favorite movie.
Xia Yangyang liked movies.
This was also influenced by Xia Liangdong’s involvent in the film industry from her childhood.
Xia Yangyang’s favorite movie was The Shawshank Redemption.
Not that she liked it.
But because her mother, Tan Zhen, liked it.
Xia Yangyang had watched that movie countless tis with her mother since she was young.
She could almost recite every line by heart.
Her mother used to tell her that hope is the best thing in the world.
And that saying cos from this movie.
But as a child, Xia Yangyang did not understand it.
By the ti she did, her mother had already passed away.
And her family had undergone radical changes.
However, since her mother’s death, Xia Yangyang hardly ever watched that movie.
She never ntioned it to others.
It seed like the movie had beco a psychological connection and secret between her and her mother.
Sotis, when she missed her mother too much, she would sneak into the attic alone and watch it secretly.
It was her innermost secret, surely Gu Qichen wouldn’t know it.
Xia Yangyang was lost in thought for a long ti.
Until the village chief repeated the question.
Xia Yangyang ca back to her senses and calmly said: "My favorite movie is called The Shawshank Redemption."
The village chief’s face showed surprise: "That’s correct, add twenty points."
