It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Is Chapter 103 wrong? (Please vote!)
Gu Huai truly did not expect that a woman like Lin Jiang would say such things to him in such a pleading manner.

If it were a young girl like Lin Jiang, he might be able to understand.

But why now?
The autumn wind blew quietly through the streets, taking away the fiery sunset and bringing in dense dark clouds; evening was approaching.

Gu Huai quietly looked at Lin Jiang, who was still staring at him.

He was still being held tightly in her hand.

This time, he didn't rush to say anything about reconciliation or offer comforting words like "it's okay."

Instead, he started to think.

After a long silence, the streetlights lit up around them, and Gu Huai finally looked at her and spoke.

"Actually, I've figured it out."

"what?"

"Given the situation just now, calling me over might have been the best solution. If you had personally refused him in front of so many people, he might have lost face and become unreasonable, which could have escalated the situation and made things even worse for you at school, potentially affecting your advisor's evaluation of you. If you had chosen a different path and quietly escaped, there might have been an even more outrageous confession waiting for you next time."

"."

Lin Jiang didn't speak, but just watched Gu Huai continue.

He nodded. "Yes, why don't I come and play the role of your boyfriend to completely eliminate any future problems? That would be more rational. From your perspective, this choice is not wrong. It will also help you protect yourself."

Hearing Gu Huai's words, Lin Jiang felt wronged.

Her lips were pouting, but she knew that given her position, she had no reason to feel wronged by making such a request.

Because he was the one who helped him do these things, and he was also the one who withstood the pressure.

She couldn't help but whisper, "Please don't say that, don't blame me, okay?"

"Why should I blame you?" Gu Huai retorted.

"Don't you blame me?"

Lin Jiang was stunned.

Gu Huai looked at her strangely, "What's it to blame you for? Is it because you're too beautiful, so naturally you attract attention? Or is it because you shouldn't have made me feel like I have any use for you?"

"You're talking about yourself like that again."

Lin Jiang pouted and said pitifully.

Gu Huai looked at her amusedly, "Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as you think. And you know, I'm always indecisive and selfish. So when something happens, my first thought is always about my own gains and losses. I won't be swayed by the atmosphere to act like a hero. I only did this because I was sure I wouldn't suffer any losses."

Hearing Gu Huai's words, which were half self-deprecating, Lin Jiang showed no intention of laughing or letting go.

"He was about to hit you."

Gu Huai blinked. "That little brat can't beat me."

I wouldn't have dared to say that before, but now I'm considered to have some stats, okay?

Lin Jiang gently reminded him, "But his family has connections, so he probably won't be held responsible if he hits you. But if you hit him, the consequences might be severe."

Gu Huai was stunned.

"Oh yeah, I forgot he's a rich kid!"

"Pfft. You did that on purpose!!"

Lin Jiang, both angry and amused, couldn't help but pout. She hadn't used this tone in years, but all her emotions could come out so naturally in front of him.

"What do you mean, intentionally?" Gu Huai looked completely clueless.

Lin Jiang snorted, "You clearly had a plan in mind, otherwise how could you have spoken so fluently? It's not like you at all."

Gu Huai shrugged. "Yeah, I already said I had considered the gains and losses, which is why I chose to be used by you."

"I've already said it's not about taking advantage of you, it's really not."

She said it cautiously.

Gu Huai glanced at her, then sighed softly.

"Actually, that's not important, right?"

"why?"

"Because when you asked me if I was willing to risk everything for you, it meant I couldn't just stand by and do nothing."

Lin Jiang muttered, "You can choose not to come, or you can turn around and leave if things don't look good."

"Then let go, I'm going home now."

"Don't~"

"What? Still trying to cling to me?"

"I won't let go until you forgive me."

This time they've really stuck with it.

Gu Huai had never seen anyone beg for forgiveness like this before, but the problem was that he really didn't mean to blame her.

Making people realize they still have value to be exploited is also a kind of value. Okay, that's definitely a joke. That's too cowardly; even Gu Huai couldn't say that.

The main reason was that he understood the woman's situation at the time and had witnessed her past firsthand. Therefore, he couldn't bear to let her fall into a deeper predicament.

He couldn't really explain why he chose this method; he could only say it was a gut feeling. He genuinely didn't think he acted impulsively at the time; in fact, he could say it was an extreme display of rationality that allowed him to act so smoothly, almost effortlessly. He even considered starting to write in his diary today.

He had no time to realize whether he had been used by a bad woman; he was completely immersed in the sense of accomplishment of taking away the most beautiful woman in the entire school in front of everyone.

Therefore, he felt that Lin Jiang was overthinking things and that he was not that fragile, at least not now.

"You're not letting go because you don't want to eat?"

"Have a meal?"

Lin Jiang looked at Gu Huai with a slightly confused expression.

Gu Huai said irritably, "I've done you such a big favor, and you won't even treat me to a meal? Don't you have any conscience?"

Lin Jiang blinked her watery eyes. "You always made excuses when I treated you before, but now you're asking me to treat you to dinner?"

Gu Huai said helplessly, "You don't like it when I'm too polite, and you don't like it when I'm carefree. What am I supposed to do?"

"What should I do? You're starting to act all cute now, chuckle, so adorable."

"To tell a man who is almost thirty that he is cute, I would be disgusted even if you are not."

Gu Huai got goosebumps.

Lin Jiang smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, I think it's fine. Men who know how to be charming have the best lives. I feel like you're the type who pretends to be indifferent to everything during the day, but when you've had too much to drink, you start to cling to people and act charming."

"It won't get any better at all!"

Is she starting to act cute after drinking too much?
what.

"Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat?"

"Whatever it is, why don't you just let go?"

Gu Huai had to remind the other person that although he enjoyed the softness of their hand, if he held it any longer, they would really stick together.

On such a street, the ambiguity went a little too far.

Lin Jiang blushed slightly and slowly released her hand, seemingly only then remembering her shyness.

He seemed to be deliberately slow to react.

"So you're not angry anymore, right?"

"I wasn't angry at all in the first place."

"Then promise not to bring this up again."

"Isn't this what you girls love to do most?"

"Actually, after thinking about it, you have no reason to be angry."

"You've forgiven yourself so quickly?"

"Oh dear~ you walked towards me and even took my hand, but we didn't discuss this beforehand."

"Who said I took your hand first? I was trying to push that guy away, but you reached out and took my hand."

How could you do this?!

"It's the truth."

"What did you say when you sent me flowers last time?"

"See, you're starting to bring up old grievances now. Last time, you were the one who gave me the Milk Dragon Balloon first, and I was just returning the favor."

"Wow! This is bullying!"

She's almost thirty, and she just squatted down and cried.

Helpless, Gu Huai turned around and walked back, bending down.

"You're going to cry already?"

Suddenly, Lin Jiang leaped up and kicked Gu Huai in the butt.

Then he took off running.

"Hehe, eh?!"

Unfortunately, Gu Huai's reaction time is really fast these days.

He grabbed the young woman, who had a childlike spirit, but not by her collar, nor by pulling out a strap hidden in her clothes from behind, nor by her hair.

Instead, he deftly grasped her fair and slender neck.

From back to front, it seems as if one hand could easily wrap around it.

"You still dare to launch a sneak attack?"

Gu Huai feigned fierceness.

Lin Jiang immediately shrank back and turned her head away pitifully.

"I was wrong, Brother Gu Huai~"
