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

Chapter 122 Stubborn People Will Miss Out on Happiness (Vote Requested!)
Gu Huai's meaning is actually very simple, just the literal meaning: they can be in the same class.

However, it seems that the expression was too simple, which caused ambiguity in Cai Yan's ears. After all, just recently, Su Yiming had expressed his desire to be with Cai Yan.

Such subconscious misunderstandings are normal, but the boy in front of him was just too clumsy.

Gu Huai immediately noticed the other person's evasive eyes and her flushed face.

Those who didn't know better might think it was a sudden, serious illness.

"what happened to you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to be with you?"

Cai Yan widened her eyes, trying to appear angry to express her feelings. However, she couldn't see her own eyes and couldn't know that in Gu Huai's eyes, Cai Yan's eyes were like a lake rippling in the wind.

It exudes a hazy, luminous beauty, like moonlight that is tried to be obscured by dark clouds but cannot be hidden.

Gu Huai blinked. "Didn't you want to be in the same class? Now you don't want to anymore?"

Women are so fickle, they've always been like that since they were little!
Cai Yan then realized that it seemed they were talking about something else entirely, and that she had misunderstood.

No, how could there be a misunderstanding? It was clearly his own strange and ambiguous statement! It has nothing to do with me. I'm not that sensitive or prone to overthinking. If it were, it would be because this jerk wasn't paying attention!

You mean class division?

"if not?"

"Nothing else, it's just class reassignment!"

She glared at Gu Huai, the blush on her face still lingering, so she didn't seem intimidating at all; in Gu Huai's eyes, she just looked quite adorable.

"Okay, fine."

He nodded, simply accepting the belief and ceasing all further questioning.

Instead, Cai Yan felt a little empty inside. On the one hand, she was worried that the ambiguous atmosphere would spread and become uncontrollable, but on the other hand, she felt that she hadn't enjoyed the atmosphere enough and was still unsatisfied.

I feel like I've become a complex animal myself.

More and more unfamiliar emotions arise within me, especially when I'm facing this boy. This inevitably evokes a sense of inexplicable panic, yet it also makes me increasingly curious about what the future holds, almost like a mild addiction.

"Right, right."

"Ok?"

Gu Huai was still wondering if class was about to start when he heard the girl's voice, which had become noticeably softer. It was inexplicably gentle, like musical notes played by Lin Jiang, stirring a special ripple in the night.

"Be careful. Su Yiming just told you to wait, but who knows what he'll do next."

Gu Huai knew that the other person was concerned about him, so he didn't make any jokes and thought about it before speaking seriously.

"He probably can't do anything, after all, they're all students at school, and his situation isn't that bad. If more people don't know about tonight's events, he'll just deal with it on his own."

This is not just wild speculation.

I just feel that Su Yiming is not like Chen Pinyan and Zhang Xun, who are used to being arrogant and can't stand the slightest grievance, and want to get revenge for everything.

The parting words sounded like a gesture of saving face to Gu Huai, but they didn't actually represent any determination. He said them just to appear less weak and to avoid further embarrassment.

"Really? Anyway, just be careful. I won't be there for you every time something happens to you."

hum.

The girl seemed a little proud of herself for arriving in time to save the boy last time.

Gu Huai, of course, did not expose the other party's smugness; he simply smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I understand, I'll be careful."

Then they seemed to run out of things to say.

This not-so-spacious hallway, a place where there are hardly any people right now, seems to be the easiest place to breed hidden emotions, stirring in one's chest but without any reason to erupt.

Only two young people remained, silently facing each other in this small corner.

I wanted to say something, but everything I said seemed abrupt. I couldn't stay still naturally. It seemed that I couldn't be too bold in asking for more exciting emotions, so I cautiously and secretly observed the other person's expression.

Why are you looking at me?

Cai Yan couldn't help but say.

Gu Huai looked away. "You're all alone here, otherwise I'd like to look at the wall."

Actually, I don't have much confidence.

"Pfft. You're sick."

The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's common knowledge that smiles are contagious. Gu Huai didn't know what was so funny, but since the other person was smiling, he couldn't help but smile too.

Then the school bell rang.

The two snapped out of their daze. "Class is starting."

Cai Yan nodded. "Hmph, it's all your fault! I didn't even go to the toilet!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll treat you to a bathroom break next time." "Hahaha. Who wants you to treat me? It's free! Hurry up, do you want me to be punished again?"

"We're walking now, don't push us, or you'll be blamed if we fall."

"I don't care about you, you deserved to fall!"

"Yeah, it's all my fault~"

It seems I've said something similar before, only the tone and my state of mind were completely different.

Pushing the boy's upright back, they returned to the area illuminated by the light and then quietly let go, as if they had secretly accomplished something to be happy about. The smile on their lips just wouldn't fade.

When I returned to my seat, Lulu was already sitting there.

She squinted at the girl's expression. "Tsk tsk tsk, you seem to be having a good chat. Shouldn't you thank me properly?"

"Thank you for what? You left me alone to go to the bathroom, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."

Cai Yan said guiltily.

Lulu's eyes widened. "Wow, Yan Yan, you're so heartless! I created such a great opportunity for you and Gu Huai, and you're going to settle scores later? No way! From now on, I'll be a third wheel. Don't even think about me making room for you two!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't do anything like that."

The girl avoided eye contact, lowered her head, and almost lay on the table.

Lulu leaned closer curiously and whispered, "What do you mean 'nothing happened'? Did you kiss?"

"Are you sick!"

"And what about hugs?"

"no!"

"You haven't even held hands? You're so innocent!"

"What's wrong with being innocent? Besides, why would I do these things? Don't talk nonsense."

Actually, I wouldn't dare say it, but I already hugged Gu Huai, and it was my initiative, but it's understandable, right? After all, he saved me and got me out of a tight spot, so it's reasonable to consider it a reward. As for holding hands?

Does him holding your wrist count? No, no! How can it be considered holding hands if your fingers aren't interlocked? So their relationship is still very innocent. What are you feeling guilty about!
Lulu gave a disdainful smile.

"Hmph, you can fool your sisters, but don't fool yourself. Who can't see that your attitude towards Gu Huai is the most special? You're just putting on an act. Why don't you call Su Yiming over to verify?"

Is it that obvious?

"Isn't it entirely because he helped me on my birthday last time? Besides, I've said before that I'm a sucker for good looks, I..."

They are trying to use the same reasons as before as an excuse.

But Lulu interrupted her directly.

"I know you're a sucker for good looks, but don't you think Gu Huai is kind of handsome now? He doesn't look ordinary at all, especially with his height. When he stood next to Su Yiming just now, I felt that Su Yiming was completely inferior to him."

Cai Yan couldn't help but look away.

In that spot, Gu Huai was silently flipping through a book with his head down, unusually calm and without a smile.

Even without any expression, his profile looks clean and handsome, exuding an indescribable charm of composure and steadiness.

He does seem different now.

Although he wasn't the kind of handsome guy with sharp features and striking eyebrows.

But under the classroom lights, why did he stand out so much and attract attention?
"right?"

Lulu asked mischievously.

Cai Yan, her cheeks flushing slightly, rolled her eyes at her. "I don't see any difference. I have high standards. It does look a bit more pleasing to the eye, but that's all."

"Tough talk."

"No."

"Being stubborn will make you miss out on happiness~"

I'll tear your mouth apart if you say that again!

"Hee hee hee."

Finally, it quieted down.

Cai Yan looked somewhat tired as she rested her head on her arms, and she couldn't help but steal glances over there again out of the corner of her eye.

He remained in the same posture, as if nothing had changed, and time itself seemed to stand still around him.

miss
There's no such thing as missing out if things haven't reached that point yet. Besides, why am I being so stubborn? Haven't I been good enough to him?
Even if
Even if there's a hint of something, shouldn't the boy take the initiative? Besides, in such an important second year of high school, romance shouldn't be a part of life right now, right?
But why do I keep thinking about the word "missed"?

It feels like your heart is being squeezed tightly out of thin air.
