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

Chapter 120 Who are you? (Please vote!)
Monday in the trenches.

We just finished the class placement exam and still have to attend evening self-study sessions.

"Don't think you can relax now that the placement exam is over. You'll soon be going to different classes, and you'll face even busier studies and fiercer competition. Then you'll understand what it means for every point to be a watershed moment."

"Of course, I don't plan to talk about anything since the exam just ended today. I'll be grading the papers, so you can all study on your own."

They really know how to arrange their work. They let the students study on their own, and then they use that time to grade papers, so it doesn't take up their personal time.

That's normal, though. This is how most teachers at this school operate, ensuring that all students' grades and rankings can be calculated as early as tomorrow, or at the latest the day after.

After arranging the students, Lao Wang began to grade the English test papers.

While the placement exam may seem important and rigorous, the grading process isn't actually that strict. To ensure results are available as early as possible, teachers for each subject typically review papers from several classes simultaneously, without any overlap in their review schedules.

Old Wang naturally chose to look at her own class's papers first. At this point, she didn't have any other thoughts. After all, she was sure to be fair and impartial in grading the papers and wouldn't give anyone any sympathy points.

After all, even if you get high grades, you won't actually be in a class after the placement test, so why bother with something that's thankless and exhausting?

Even the grading of the placement exam was arguably the most objective she had ever done.

As I read, a name suddenly caught my eye.

[Gu Huai].

Upon seeing this name, Lao Wang even looked up at the classroom and easily spotted the boy who was still sitting in a relatively far back row, as his height made him easy to find.

Gu Huai was reading a book with a sense of boredom. In fact, he was reading it quite seriously, since he had nothing else to do. He was reviewing his high school courses, flipping through his textbooks, and occasionally he could see some strange words he had written on them.

This experience was quite unique.

Back then, I was a bit of a literary youth, and I would suddenly come across some sentimental quotes that I didn't know where I copied from, and I would get goosebumps whenever I saw Gu Huai.

It might even cause a sudden twitch.

I feel inexplicably embarrassed by my past self.

What is he smoking? Has he gone mad?

Of course, in Old Wang's eyes, this was a sign of inattentiveness. She couldn't deny that because of what happened a few days ago—the boy publicly contradicting her and questioning her authority—she had some reservations about him.

However, she still believed she was right, so when she lowered her head again, she was full of vigilance and began to grade Gu Huai's papers with utmost focus.

Not a single mistake will be missed.

'Yes, the first listening comprehension multiple-choice question was very simple, basically no difficulty, a free point, it's normal to get it right.'

The second question was just a basic question with some added sentence structures; nothing special, so it's normal to get it right.

'He got the third one right? This is getting progressively harder; if I remember correctly, three out of the top five students with good English scores got it wrong. How did he get it right? Luck?'

'The fourth one wasn't right? It's right again?! What incredible luck!'

Originally full of fighting spirit, and even feeling like he had transformed into a famous detective, Lao Wang frowned more and more as he looked at the report. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was looking at a medical report.

Old Wang found it unbelievable, even inexplicable.

Although she wouldn't be proctoring every subject herself, she knew how strict this placement exam was and wouldn't allow cheating easily. Even if there were some underhanded methods, they wouldn't create a significant score difference.

She even suspected that this Gu Huai might be someone with the same name, and not actually the Gu Huai in her class. But she repeatedly checked the class and name, and there was no mistake.

It was indeed Gu Huai.

His accuracy rate was astonishing; even his English essays, which were often riddled with flaws, were written quite well, and he even used some obscure words that are not taught at his age.

She hadn't seen this in any of the other students' exam papers!
How did he do it?
This score puts him on par with the top English student in the class. Could I have misunderstood? Did he not cheat last time, but simply study diligently and achieve such a remarkable turnaround in just one month?

But no matter how I think about it, it seems to be beyond my common sense. In all my years as a teacher, I have rarely seen a student make such great progress in such a short period of time. How could this be?

It's impossible for her to realize her mistake right now. Old Wang plans to ask the teachers of other subjects tomorrow to see what the situation is.

If his other subjects are a complete disaster, then it confirms that my initial judgment was correct. If he makes significant progress in those subjects, then it proves his considerable potential, a promising candidate for a top university, and it's not unreasonable to invest some effort in keeping him on my radar.
I may not be able to manage the experimental class, but I should be able to manage the honors class, right?

Evening self-study session ended.

Since there are two classes during evening self-study, it doesn't excite students who study until late. But at least it's a bit of a relaxing time, especially for young couples who started dating in high school. These nights offer plenty of opportunities to unleash their youthful hormones and secretly do all sorts of exciting things.

Gu Huai had secretly fantasized about it, but fantasies are just fantasies. He could only watch as the boys with girlfriends came back from class with expressions as if they had just gotten married, and he gritted his teeth in frustration.

Then curse them in your heart: They'll break up sooner or later anyway, they're just supporting someone else's wife, the happier they are now, the more painful it will be when they break up!
Later, Gu Huai heard that several high school couples were actually getting married. What happened to the saying "the world changes"? What happened to the saying "love can't withstand the erosion of time"? Damn it!

Now that feeling had subsided, he stretched and lazily lay down on the table.

Footsteps passed by me.

"What, did you do poorly on the test?"

Gu Huai looked up and saw the aloof girl standing next to Lulu.

Cai Yan stared straight at him, her tone sarcastic, but there seemed to be worry in her eyes.

Gu Huai shook his head. "No, I think I did pretty well on the exam."

"Then why do you look so frustrated?"

"Aren't you tired after a whole day of exams? Why are you worrying about me like this?"

Gu Huai said it casually. Cai Yan's eyes widened. "Who cares about you? It's not like you like meddling in your affairs! Let's go."

He pulled Lulu away, but Lulu smiled and said to Gu Huai, "Oh, Yan Yan is worried that if you don't do well on the exam, you won't be able to go to the same class as her."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Stop talking nonsense and go to the toilet!"

Before Gu Huai could get up to explain, Cai Yan, her face slightly flushed, had already pulled Lulu away from the classroom.

Gu Huai thought for a moment.

Did my attitude seem a bit infuriating? It was just a casual remark, but it seems I overlooked the fact that teenagers at this age don't really distinguish between jokes and genuine feelings.

I might need to explain that.

He got up, left his seat, and left the classroom. Of course, he couldn't run to the women's restroom to explain, nor could he block the entrance to the women's restroom.

So I planned to go to the middle of the corridor not far from the women's restroom and pretend to bump into her.

Thinking this, he walked to the middle of a corridor where there weren't many people. As soon as he arrived, Gu Huai heard strange conversations.

"Su Yiming, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Su Yiming?
The name sounds familiar, but the person who said those words is even more so.

He turned to the side, not revealing much of his body, and peeked to find that Cai Yan, who was standing with Lulu, was facing a familiar, handsome young man.

It was Su Yiming from the class next door, the one I played basketball with.

At this moment, the handsome young man still had a hint of melancholy on his face.

"I told Zhang Ying that I broke up with her."

This sentence sounds very heavy, as if it contains countless frustrations.

However, Cai Yan only frowned upon hearing this and said impatiently.

"If you want to break up, then break up. Why are you telling me?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Su Yiming looked at Cai Yan, revealing a rather awkward expression of pain.

So this is what I look like when I'm thinking about how much pain I'm in at my age? Damn! How embarrassing.

"What do I understand?"

"I like you, don't you know that?"

Wow.

"I know, so what?"

"Didn't you know I broke up with you?"

"Should I know? And since you broke up with your boyfriend for me, should I do something about it?"

Cai Yan looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Lulu beside her, "What does this have to do with me?"

Like a detective, Lulu reached out and touched her chin, then frowned, pretending to think, before drawing a conclusion.

"I haven't noticed yet, but it's true that you're prettier than Zhang Ying."

"Who asked you that?" Cai Yan rolled her eyes.

Su Yiming appeared increasingly distressed, anxiously watching the two seemingly putting on an act, as if Cai Yan had not yet understood his own feelings.

He said.

"I got together with Zhang Ying back then because I wanted to see your reaction, I wanted you to be jealous. Actually, I didn't like her at all. If you had told me back then, I would have broken up with her immediately, and I wouldn't be waiting until now. But it's okay, I've realized my feelings. I still like you, and no one can replace you!"

wow~
Gu Huai was about to make a sound.

In this school, some students are studying hard, some are just slacking off, and some are bullying their classmates, acting as middlemen to make a profit, and then getting expelled from the school.

And yet, someone is filming a Korean drama here?

"Wow~" Luckily, Lulu next to her exclaimed on her behalf, "I thought I could only hear things like this in TV dramas. There are actually people saying this in real life?"

Beautiful, she's practically a mouth double.

"Su Yiming".

Cai Yan then revealed the other person's name.

"what happened?"

Su Yiming looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with great anticipation; her face seemed to have a blush of shyness.

But they had no idea that this was Cai Yan's uncontrollable surge of anger and frustration, a question she asked from the bottom of her heart:

"Are you stupid?"
