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

Chapter 112 Gu Huai, what makes you think you can?! (Please vote!)

"Hey, let me see if Xiao Gu has a boyfriend? Wait, what kind of question is that? Wasn't our live stream room full of straight men before?!"

"Uh, my sexual orientation is normal, and I have no plans to find a boyfriend for the time being."

"But some people genuinely asked if you have a girlfriend, and even asked for your Douyin account."

For the next hour, the two tacitly refrained from pushing the product further, mostly engaging in conversation. Of course, some superficial politeness was still maintained, but it was no longer important.

Xu Wenxi read through the comments from the viewers in the live stream, then looked mischievously at Gu Huai beside her.

Once Gu Huai relaxed, he was no longer so nervous and could deal with the inexplicable malicious comments from keyboard warriors stirring up trouble in the live stream with a normal mindset.

"Whether I have a girlfriend or not is a private matter, and it's not appropriate to talk about it in this setting. I have Douyin, but I haven't posted any videos, so I won't discuss that. I also won't be doing solo live streams."

"Isn't that a pity? So many people already know you."

Xu Wenxi smiled at Gu Huai, seemingly reminding the man. Perhaps this was a good opportunity for him to find a new path; with such high popularity right now, why not strike while the iron is hot and give him some free rein?

However, Gu Huai has no such plans for the time being.

He seems to have done very well today, exceeding expectations, but he can't get arrogant and think he's truly cut out for the internet industry. He only has a superficial understanding, and is currently riding on Xu Wenxi's coattails; how can he fully attribute it to his own abilities?

Popularity and traffic are highly unreliable. They are very likely to become like fish stranded on a beach once the hype fades.

Gu Huai didn't want to make such a hasty decision about a new path, and he also seemed to lack the time to manage his account, let alone know how to do so.

Indeed, no one would complain about earning more or having more opportunities. But it also depends on whether you have the ability to do so.

Gu Huai smiled and said, "If everyone is really satisfied, there will be another opportunity to meet in Xiaoxi's live stream room. Of course, it may also be somewhere else, but I really have no plans to create an account right now. Thank you all for your support."

"Alright, it's getting late. Thanks again for your support, everyone. The live stream might be ending soon~"

When Xu Wenxi finished her live stream, Gu Huai breathed a long sigh of relief.

The results have now fully met the standards, and even exceeded expectations; everything seems to have settled down.

But even now, Gu Huai still feels like he's dreaming. This kind of thing seems even less real than a simulation. For him, everything on the internet really doesn't feel real.

It even seems to make people easily forget the passage of time. Has it really been that long? It's only been a little over three hours?
Xu Wenxi, who had just turned off the live stream, was about to get up when she saw Gu Huai sitting next to her, looking somewhat dazed.

Some people were exposed as soon as they opened the live stream; this person had turned off the camera and their true colors were revealed.

She couldn't help but look at the other person with amusement.

"What? I just shut down the live stream, how did I steal your soul?"

Gu Huai snapped out of his daze and looked at Xu Wenxi.

"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just a little dazed that it really ended like this."

"Are you still not satisfied? I'm exhausted."

Actually, it's alright. It's not tiring, but it's not exactly easy either.

After all, you have to be extra careful in front of the live camera. Although there's some beauty filter, no one will edit your photos on the spot. What female internet celebrities fear most is seeing unflattering photos of themselves circulating online, perhaps taken at a bad angle. She can't afford to be so carefree, even if everyone praises her perfect beauty.

Gu Huai smiled and said, "Thank you so much for coming to help us today, along with your friend."

Xu Wenxi rolled her eyes at Gu Huai, "I'm also getting paid, it's not like I'm working for free, so there's no need to thank me like that."

Gu Huai shook his head. "You can't say that. After all, an influencer of your caliber could easily take on bigger commercial deals. I feel like you're being treated unfairly."

That's the truth. We can't ignore the sacrifices of the other side just because both sides benefited. In particular, he could clearly feel that Xu Wenxi wasn't being perfunctory at all today. She took this live-streaming sales event very seriously, which is quite professional and respectful for her size and popularity.

"If you feel you've wronged me, then treat me to a meal. Don't say these useless things. I don't care about verbal thanks."

Xu Wenxi gave a soft hum and tilted her head back.

Gu Huai couldn't help but smile. "Of course, wasn't this something we agreed on a long time ago?"

"I thought you were going to pretend you didn't know and renege on your debt!"

"How could I be that kind of person?"

Gu Huai opened his eyes wide, looking completely innocent.

He hadn't forgotten and had made the necessary preparations. Regardless of tonight's outcome, he would properly treat the other party to a late-night snack, even if there was still a simulation session tonight; it wouldn't be a problem.

After all, we've already done the experiment before, so even if I drink alcohol, it won't have much of an impact on my simulated self.

Cai Yan and Xiao Zhou had not yet left.

Gu Huai got up and walked over. "Team Leader Cai, and Miss Xiao Zhou, thank you for your help today. How about we go for a late-night snack? It's on me." Xiao Zhou covered her mouth and chuckled. "Miss Xiao Zhou, that's too kind of you. Just call me Xiao Zhou. After all, you and Wen Xi are the same age, and I'm two years younger than her."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Cai Yan, standing to the side, glanced at Gu Huai and asked, "You're treating? Are you sure?"

Although Gu Huai had received a raise, he hadn't been paid last month's salary yet. She seriously doubted whether this man, who struggled to make ends meet and only took the bus to work, could afford to hire her.

Besides, everyone knows what kind of lifestyle big internet celebrities lead, so they might not be willing to go to cheap late-night food stalls.

Gu Huai smiled and nodded, "Of course I'm sure, didn't we agree on that?"

Cai Yan nodded, but then, as if remembering something, she whispered to Gu Huai while Xiao Zhou was looking for Xu Wenxi.

"If you don't have enough money, you can tell me."

Gu Huai looked at Cai Yan in surprise, "Do we have to return it?"

"What do you think?" Cai Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Of course, she can choose not to pay it back; this small amount of money is nothing to her. But what does it become if she doesn't pay it back? Why doesn't she just start keeping you as a mistress? She's shameless!

Gu Huai laughed, "Alright, don't worry. Although I haven't received my salary yet, I'm the kind of person who saves some money, so it'll be enough."

Now it seems I'm glad I haven't become a spendthrift, since I rarely shop and can use the same clothes for years. It's all about preparing for unexpected needs.

My upbringing taught me that I couldn't live for today without thinking about tomorrow, and that not having any savings would make me feel insecure.

"Hmph, I was just saying, you decide what to do."

She said it on purpose, not wanting to appear kind.

After all, kind-hearted women are always easily taken advantage of and bullied, and she never wanted to become such a foolish woman.

However, Gu Huai had already seen through her inherent kindness and sincerely said to Cai Yan, "Thank you for your kindness, Team Leader Cai, but I'm really fine."

"I already said I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Cai Yan, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable after being spoken to, and reached out to touch her neck.

Just then, Xu Wenxi and Xiaozhou came over after they finished packing their things.

"Oh, is Team Leader Cai coming along too?"

Xu Wenxi smiled as she looked at the two people whose atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Upon hearing the voice, Cai Yan smiled and looked at Xu Wenxi.

"Oh? It seems I'd better not bother you?"

"What you're saying? That's not what I meant at all. I just thought that Team Leader Cai is a busy person, and if he's too busy, we can manage on our own."

"What kind of important person am I? Don't worry, it's not like it's the first time I've gone out for a late-night snack with him. I'm actually quite free."

"That's it"

Xu Wenxi glanced at Gu Huai, her eyes unreadable.

Gu Huai also looked at Xu Wenxi with a puzzled expression.

"What do you see me doing?"

Any questions?

Xu Wenxi glared at Gu Huai with annoyance. This bastard, how come he doesn't feel guilty at all?
"Let's go, let's go, I'm starving. Xiao Zhou, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Wenxi couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Xiao Zhou holding her arm. She asked him in an annoyed tone.

Xiao Zhou immediately shook her head, "No, I was wondering if I was the least suitable person to show up? Maybe I should just find an excuse to go home?"

"boom!"

Zhong Xinyang slammed his fist against the wall, his face flushed red from drinking too much, staring wide-eyed at his phone.

He had just finished a drinking party and hadn't gone home yet; he just glanced at his phone in the hallway.

then
"Almost eight thousand orders? And that's just from three hours of live streaming? How dare you?! Gu Huai, I'll fuck you!!!"
