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

Chapter 142 Another trick up his sleeve? (Second update!)

His coat still held a bit of warmth, and perhaps even his scent.

As for what its taste was, Xu Wenxi didn't know; it only seemed to feel a little hot when placed on her legs.

Xu Wenxi did indeed sense the man's delicate heart and considerate kindness.

But it seems that because of this action, the two suddenly stopped talking.

Staring blankly at the gently flowing stream.

"Something came to mind?" Xu Wenxi suddenly asked.

"Is the sunrise beautiful?"

By this time, the effects of the alcohol had indeed worn off, but he was also feeling quite tired. Gu Huai leaned back in his chair, no longer having any thoughts to wander.

Just answer honestly, whatever comes to mind.

"I don't know. Actually, I haven't seen many sunrises. Maybe I tried to see one when I was a child, but I've forgotten what the view was like back then."

"Me too. I think there was a text in my textbook when I was little that described the sunrise or something, so I specially chose a day and stayed up for a long time to see it. But it didn't seem as exciting as I had imagined, so I guess the sunrise is just so-so?"

"Then why bother staying up all night to watch for the sunrise?"

"I think it might be because of certain things that the perseverance and suffering beforehand gave them meaning?"

"Wow, so you can say things like that?"

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of uncultured internet celebrity?"

"That's not what I meant. I just thought your summary was very good, unlike your usual level."

"Hmph, I'm just being a little more serious. I've always been a remarkable woman who combines wisdom and beauty."

"A remarkable woman? A strange woman?"

"Try giving another random explanation."

"Hahaha."

"."

"."

"Gu Huai."

"Ok?"

"Are you asleep?"

"No, falling asleep at a time like this would definitely make me catch a cold, wouldn't it?"

"Should I return your coat to you?"

"No, I'm not cold."

"Give me a little longer, and your coat will smell like me."

"Will it absorb your flavor?"

"Am I cured pork or pickled vegetables? Why is the word 'pickled' used?"

"I don't know, I'm a little tired. How about we play a game?"

"what game?"

"Whoever speaks first is the puppy."

"Get lost, you're just trying to fool me."

"I told you I'm boring, right?"

"I'm actually a pretty boring person too."

The two of them exchanged a few words here and there, with no real conversation. They were simply passing the time in the most basic way, and perhaps just going through the motions. There was no intellectual elaboration or plot twist; they were merely echoing each other's words.

Gu Huai and Xu Wenxi both lost track of time.

When Gu Huai realized that he hadn't heard any movement around him for quite some time, he turned around wearily and saw the woman who had lowered her head and buried it in her arms.

From this angle, it seems that only the fiery red color of her hair can be seen.

are you asleep?

Perhaps he, who was so good at insomnia, was even better at hypnotizing others? He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then stand up.

I stretched my body a bit and checked the time.

So much time has already passed; in just a few tens of minutes it will be the agreed-upon four o'clock.

Looking at the horizon, it seems that some colors are already beginning to change.

He thought for a moment, then scrolled through short videos on his phone, which still had some battery left. Around that time, he heard some noises coming from the campsite, as if people were starting to wake up and prepare to go up the mountain to watch the sunrise.

He then woke Xu Wenxi up.

The woman opened her eyes, still somewhat dazed and confused.

"Was I asleep? I didn't even notice."

"It's alright, it's just the right time. Let's go back and wake Xiaozhou up. I'll go call Xu Cheng. Quite a few people are already getting ready to leave."

At Gu Huai's signal, Xu Wenxi also saw people emerging from tents of all sizes.

She yawned and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go get Xiaozhou, your coat."

"it is good."

Gu Huai took his coat and was about to turn around when Xu Wenxi suddenly called out to him.

"By the way, Gu Huai."

"Ok?"

"Should we tell them we spent the whole night here?"

Xu Wenxi suddenly asked this question, and Gu Huai didn't know why she thought of it, but since she asked, he thought about it and answered.

"We haven't done anything here, do you think it's necessary?"

"That's true, then let's do it that way."

"Ah."

It's good that it doesn't give people more room for misunderstanding.

Gu Huai walked back with the still-warm coat on his back. His body, which was still relatively sober but slightly tired, didn't bother to check if the other person's scent was still on the coat.

It wasn't until I put it on that I noticed the fragrance that wasn't mine.

He seemed to have regained some clarity.

Then wake Xu Cheng up.

"Wow, what time is it? Holy crap, why are you up so early? It's not even dawn yet."

"Nonsense, we can go straight down the mountain when it's light, why bother watching the sunrise?" "Yeah, we still want to watch the sunrise. Damn, who suggested watching the sunrise? This is just asking for trouble. Are they even human?"

He cursed himself as he got dressed and stood up.

"Are you all up? Then let's hurry up the mountain before dawn, there won't be much time left."

People gathered at the camp, moving faster than expected.

Song Xiyu and Chang Ye also arrived, but it was clear that neither of them was fully awake. Chang Ye was yawning constantly and didn't even bother to pay attention to Song Xiyu.

As for Song Xiyu, she didn't seem to be acting any differently.

It was as if nothing had happened last night, and she hadn't seen Gu Huai at all.

As Xiao Zhou set off, she asked, "By the way, I woke up in the middle of the night last night and you weren't there. Where did you go?"

"I need to go to the toilet, but you're sleeping like a log, I can't wake you up."

Xu Wenxi's expression clearly showed a moment of guilt, and she even stole a glance at Gu Huai, but fortunately, no one was very clear-headed at the time, and no one noticed her strange behavior.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I've gone through all this just to see the sunrise. If someone's holding us back, don't mind my foul mouth, bro."

Xu Cheng was still yawning and urging him on.

Gu Huai just wanted to sneer.

God knows who's really suffering. You at least snored for a few hours with excellent quality. What about you, buddy?
My throat is practically burning from talking.

The path to the summit became noticeably steeper and more difficult, but Gu Huai was alright; he had things to do and would temporarily ignore his fatigue. After all, his improved physical condition was there, and he actually became more and more alert as he walked.

The others were full of complaints.

"Damn. If it were any harder to climb, it would be more strenuous than going up eight flights of stairs."

"Is there a cable car? Shared bikes are fine too."

"Are you stupid, Chang Ye? Riding a bicycle uphill is more tiring than walking!"

"Yes. Xiyu, are you alright? Do you want me to hold your hand?"

"No need, you should wipe your sweat first."

"Uh, I'm not exaggerating, it's just that the sun might come out soon, and it's a bit hot now."

Gu Huai would take a few steps and then pause to look back at the crowd.

Anyway, he wasn't that eager for the sunrise, so if he missed it, so be it; there didn't seem to be much point in climbing it alone.

Moreover, if any unexpected situation occurs, it seems that the only person capable of handling it in a timely manner is myself.

Whatever you say comes.

Xiao Zhou was complaining, "We're going up the mountain now, and we have to go back down later. Is there really no cable car? I really... ah!"

She was still grumbling when she didn't notice that one of the steps was slightly higher. As a result, she didn't lift her toes high enough, and her toes touched the step, causing her to stumble and fall forward.

Gu Huai realized what was happening, but the distance was too far.

At that moment, the person closest to the boat was Xu Wenxi, who immediately reached out and hugged the small boat.

"what!"

And so, right before everyone's eyes, the two girls fell down the steps.

When Gu Huai came down, Xiao Zhou had already sat up, looking at Xu Wenxi who was hugging her with lingering fear.

"Xixi."

"Are you OK?"

Xu Wenxi looked at her troublesome friend with annoyance.

Xiao Zhou shook her head, still a little shaken. "I'm fine, how about you?"

"I should too. Hiss!"

Just as Xu Wenxi tried to stand up, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. The pain was so intense that she almost lost all strength in her legs and collapsed to the ground.

But this time, the person who supported her arms was Gu Huai, who came closer.

As for Xu Cheng, Chang Ye, and the others, they were exhausted themselves, and even though they witnessed the accident, they simply didn't have the energy to come and help.

Xu Wenxi looked up at Gu Huai.

"you"

Gu Huai frowned as he looked at her.

"Twisted?"

"Seems to be"

"Are you alright, Wenxi?"

"What happened? I saw you two suddenly hugging each other. Did you fall?"

The concern from others seems to be delayed by network latency, arriving only now.

Gu Huai and Xiao Zhou helped Xu Wenxi to the steps to sit down and adjust herself.

Xiao Zhou looked at Xu Wenxi with a guilty expression and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Are you alright?"

Xu Wenxi's face turned pale from the pain.

She rubbed her ankle and said softly, "It's probably just a slight twist, it's a little sore now. Why don't you go ahead first, and I'll catch up with you once I'm better?"

Xu Cheng stood there, hands on his hips, panting. He thought for a moment, feeling somewhat troubled.

"How can we do this? We came all this way and left you here."

"And wouldn't it be a shame to climb all this way only to miss the sunrise?"

Song Xiyu also frowned slightly, unsure of the crux of her words.

Xu Wenxi simply smiled, feigning nonchalance.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead and watch. Life isn't just about one sunrise, there will be other opportunities. Really, I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit, you guys go ahead."

"Oh dear, don't say things like that. We came together as comrades, there's no such logic in that. How about I take you down the mountain first?"

While everyone was discussing the issue but couldn't come up with an effective solution, which was not only a waste of time but also a headache to deal with, the argument was incessant.

Xu Wenxi saw the man who had remained silent while everyone else was talking walk up to her.

He glanced at Xu Wenxi, then calmly knelt down in front of her.

"It would be such a shame to miss the sunrise this time. Come on up, I'll carry you up."

Xiao Zhou didn't react in time, and Chang Ye hadn't expected it to be like this either. Did he still have the strength to carry someone?
Song Xiyu's previously listless expression suddenly became exceptionally lively.

Xu Cheng almost stomped his feet on the spot: Holy crap! Gu Huai, you've grown up!! You even have this trick up your sleeve!!
As for Xu Wenxi, who is the person involved?

After her initial shock, her eyes reddened as she laughed.

"Gu Huai, what's wrong with you?"
