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

Chapter 131 As Long As You're Happy? (Seeking Votes!)

First of all, Gu Huai doesn't need a so-called wingman. He doesn't have any fantasies about the woman behind him, so why would he need to be a wingman?
Secondly, what kind of wingman is this? It's like a poorly acted comic book version of Xu Cheng!
Since Gu Huai wasn't cooperating, Xu Cheng spoke to the people behind him.

"Let me tell you, this kid is usually hard to talk to at work, and he rarely comes out even on weekends. It's really rare for him to show up even once."

Gu Huai stared out the car window, pretending not to hear anything, but in reality, he was extremely sensitive to the slightest sound.

Then I heard the small boat behind me say something.

"Gu Huai sounds like a typical homebody, and Wen Xi is a homebody too. She won't go shopping unless she's filming."

Xu Wenxi glanced at her friend, and of course she also saw Gu Huai in the passenger seat.

There were some things that weren't said when we first met, but after only a day apart, this man seemed to be radiant.

Men are easily swayed by praise; once praised, they tend to become arrogant and then do many things that overstep their bounds.

But I never thought so before; he is actually quite good-looking.

Looking out the car window now, with only half of her face visible in profile, it inexplicably has a cinematic quality.

Of course, she couldn't possibly lose her mind because of some minor, inconspicuous changes; she remained calm as she spoke.

"How did this get dragged into this? Besides, I wasn't staying home all the time, I was just taking reasonable breaks. I'm already exhausted from working outside, filming a single video dozens of times, where would I find the energy to go shopping and drinking with you?"

Xiao Zhou grumbled, "I filmed too, but I'm not as tired as you are. You just have too little energy."

"Yes, yes, some people have their own batteries for life, socializing, and entertainment, but I share one battery, so of course I have no energy."

Upon hearing Xu Wenxi's words, the others simply laughed.

Gu Huai felt a strange sense of empathy; he had said similar things himself, though of course, he wasn't the one who invented the idea. It was just a little funny that he wasn't exactly the same in this regard.

The scenery was rushing by, and Gu Huai didn't really know what he was looking at afterward; he was already somewhat lost in thought.

Before they even reached their destination, Gu Huai's phone rang.

He subconsciously took out his phone, only to see a message from Lin Jiang.

Energetic Little Ginger: [It's my day off, what are you doing?]

Gu Huai made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "I'm with my friends; we're going to climb Yuehe Mountain."

Energetic Little Ginger: [Hmm? Hiking? That doesn't seem like something you'd do. Really? Is this some excuse you came up with beforehand to prevent me from asking you out today?]

Gu Huai looked at his phone and couldn't help but chuckle. Of course, this inexplicable smile also caught the attention of someone in the back seat.

What are you laughing at on your phone? There's no sound, so it can't be a silent movie, right? You must be sending a message, right? You're even typing on the keyboard.
Cai Yan?
She couldn't help but become curious.

Gu Huai was thinking about how to tell the other party that he had not lied and that he didn't need to make up any excuses.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that no answer could explain it, so he simply took a picture of the front of the car and sent it to prove that he was already on his way.

Just as I sent it out, a sound suddenly came from behind me, very close by.

"Hey, taking pictures?"

"Holy crap, that scared me."

Gu Huai's smile vanished instantly, and he turned back with surprise and uncertainty, first noticing that head of fiery red hair.

Then he saw Xu Wenxi staring at him with narrowed eyes, as if scrutinizing a criminal.

What crime did I commit? Are we not allowed to use our phones on the bus? Dude, I'm in the passenger seat!

"You got scared so easily? You're such a coward."

"Why don't you give it a try? This has nothing to do with courage, okay?"

"Hmph, Gu Huai, I don't think you're as miserable as you say."

But she suddenly said something.

Gu Huai didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

"Look, you have people to take photos and share them with, and you always send messages with a smile. You're so happy."

Xu Cheng, sitting next to him, held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone.

Did you message me?

"What's it to you? Drive properly!"

"Oh."

Gu Huai looked at Xu Wenxi helplessly, "No, a friend just asked me what I was doing, so I showed it to her. I was just laughing because I'm in a good mood right now."

He came up with a plausible reason.

"Oh~ I was so quiet just now, I thought you didn't know how to smile."

"No, you know I'm not good with words."

As soon as Gu Huai finished speaking, Xu Cheng looked over curiously, "When did she find out? I didn't even know."

"Are you ever going to stop?"

Xu Wenxi couldn't help but laugh, "I really didn't know he wasn't good with words. He spoke quite fluently during the live stream."

"Live stream?" Xu Cheng's eyes widened. "Gu Huai, you've gone into the sex industry?"

"What does this have to do with going into business! It's just a company task, live-streaming e-commerce. Do you have any sense at all?"

Xu Cheng deliberately lowered his voice and turned his head to avoid Xu Wenxi hearing him.

"The girls in my mind are all very innocent." "You're unbeatable."

Xu Wenxi also temporarily gave up questioning Gu Huai and returned to her seat to complain to Xiao Zhou next to her.

"I've noticed that boys whisper even more than we do, why is that?"

Xiao Zhou glanced ahead with a knowing look, then whispered, "Because there are some very private things that we can't hear, we don't actually know that what we talk about in private is even more private."

"Hahahaha. Are you crazy? Who said anything to you?"

"That Xiao Yan from the company, she shows me pictures that guys send her in private messages every day. She says, 'They dare to send such small photos.' Hey? Doesn't anyone send you any?"

"It seems you guys are the ones who are more submissive."

Female internet celebrities are indeed easily subjected to some inexplicable harassment, so Xu Wenxi set it so that private messages can only be sent to mutual followers.

What are they laughing at behind them?

Xu Cheng lowered his voice and asked.

Gu Huai said irritably, "They probably think we're like clowns."

Xu Cheng said strangely, "How could that be? Isn't it fun to play dumb in front of a beautiful woman? Besides, I just played the role of playing dumb, and you were the one making fun of me. The cooperation was perfect."

"Xu Cheng, what you mean by going out to pick up girls every night, you're not just putting on a clown act in front of them, are you?"

Gu Huai looked at the other person with great suspicion.

Xu Cheng scoffed, "What are you thinking? Would anyone else be worth me cooperating with like this? Only you."

"Well, thank you so much. But please do this less often, and you don't need to be my wingman. I have no such intention."

"That's even less likely," Gu Huai added to himself.

Xu Cheng smiled, looked ahead, and sighed.

"Sigh, Gu Huai. You still don't realize what kind of opportunity you're missing. You think too much and too little."

"Snapped."

"Why did you hit me?"

Xu Cheng, who had been hit on the back of the head, looked innocently at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai gave a cold reply.

"Please stop pretending to be a riddle-solving character from a movie and saying things that are incomprehensible, okay?"

"Gu Huai, I must say, you're really good at making sarcastic remarks."

".nerve."

The photo that was sent out also received a response from Lin Jiang.

Energetic Little Ginger: [They're all on their way, oh well~ I was just about to ask if you wanted to go out for dinner together.]

Gu Huai didn't even realize that when he replied to Lin Jiang's message, his smile was so natural that he didn't even notice it himself.

Gu Huai: [Maybe next time. I don't have time this time, sorry.]

Energetic Little Ginger: [What are you apologizing for? I didn't tell you beforehand. It's normal that you have your own things to do. Don't worry, even if you're not in the mood or don't want to go when I ask you out, or you have other things to do, you don't have to force yourself to make time for me. You don't have to force yourself because of me.]

What an angelic heart!

Even if it was a lie, Gu Huai was still impressed that she could think of these things.

After all, too many people in this era only think of themselves when they do things, including Gu Huai himself.

Therefore, he always felt that he couldn't be selfish himself and expect others to be selfless, so he thought it was normal for others not to consider his feelings.

He replied with a warm feeling in his chest: "Yes, I understand."

Energetic Little Ginger: [Have fun today!]

Seeing the message that the other party seemed completely unharmed, he suddenly felt an indescribable guilt, as if he had let the other party down.

So I couldn't help but ask: "So, how are you spending your day?"

I regretted it a little after sending it.

After all, even if she has things she wants to do, he can't accompany her. Asking this question seems a bit redundant, or even a hypocritical expression to ease his own guilt.

It's like making a mistake but pretending to repent, hoping to be forgiven, when in reality you don't genuinely want the other person to forgive you, but just want to lessen your own guilt.

So, holding his phone, he even had the urge to retract the message.

But the other party replied faster than he felt anxious.

Energetic Xiao Jiang: [I'll probably be eating and shopping with colleagues and friends, right? I can't just do nothing, right? But don't worry, we're all girls.]

Gu Huai felt inexplicably embarrassed by what was said. Even though it was through a screen, it seemed like his inexplicable possessiveness and male chauvinism were completely exposed.

I still understand too much.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation: "It's okay, you didn't need to tell me this specifically. You have your own life too, just have fun."

He spoke very magnanimously, but Gu Huai knew that he was actually a very petty person.

So, in front of someone, do you also start to want to pretend?
