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

Chapter 143 He is a believer, and also a temple (Third update, please vote!)
Everyone could tell that Xu Wenxi's words at this moment were definitely not a reproach or sarcasm.

She simply felt that this man was too kind, even to the point of being clumsy.

There's still a distance to the top of the mountain. These people are already exhausted from climbing on their own, and now they're carrying an extra burden. Aren't they just being foolish?

Moreover, doing something like this at this time is really against the rules.

Anyone who does something like that is definitely sick, with a romantic disorder.

"Don't joke around, you can carry someone on your back? You'll hurt another one later."

Chang Ye immediately stood up and rejected the plan. He wasn't worried that Gu Huai might get hurt because of it; he just felt that Gu Huai doing this at this time would make him look incompetent.

It's normal that there are things that no one can do, but if you can do something that no one else can, doesn't that make you seem capable?

This is not conducive to unity.

He didn't want such a thing to actually happen either; he even had a vague feeling that this man with exceptionally good physical strength might actually be able to do it.

Xiao Zhou also realized what was happening.

"There's no need for this. I'll stay here with Xixi and wait. You guys go ahead. This is really too tiring."

Song Xiyu seemed to have remembered something as well, and she chuckled softly.

"Gu Huai, there's a time and place for showing off. I know you and Wen Xi are close, but you also need to take care of yourself and not push yourself too hard."

Only Xu Cheng remained silent at this moment.

Xu Wenxi was also staring intently at Gu Huai, leaving the choice to him.

At this moment, it wouldn't be good for her to say anything, because through their late-night chat, she clearly understood that the reason Gu Huai sometimes seemed slow to notice wasn't because he didn't feel it, but because he was worried that his good intentions would be rejected.

However, she didn't want this man to feel too pressured because of her.

Gu Huai's answer was simpler than she had expected.

“It’s not strenuous at all, and I’m not the type to push myself. If it really comes to it, I’ll just leave you here. I just think it would be such a shame to walk this far and not see the sunrise. So let’s give it a try?”

He looked at Xu Wenxi, but instead of getting up, he turned around and offered his increasingly broad back to her.

It was this simple action and these simple words that made Xu Wenxi stop hesitating.

She felt that sometimes being a burden could also be a form of fulfillment.

Is sunrise really that important?

The process is what matters, that's for sure.

With her hands on Gu Huai's shoulders, and with Xiao Zhou's help, she climbed onto Gu Huai's back.

The woman was lighter than Gu Huai had expected. He didn't know if it was because of her physical condition or because she was just that thin. He held her legs and tried not to touch her buttocks.

"Are you ok?"

Behind her was not only her warm body temperature, but also the faint curves of her body that could be felt.

And her soft, warm words.

Gu Huai nodded. "No problem, let's go."

He looked at the crowd, then took a step forward to continue climbing.

Chang Ye was utterly bewildered by what he saw.

"That's really impressive. If someone were to slip or fall, it would be disastrous."

His already unbalanced mind made him unable to feel anything else at this moment; it was less a premonition and more a hope.

Song Xiyu was too lazy to agree with anything Chang Ye said at this time.

While a mountain climb may not determine anything, nor can it change one's background or family circumstances, the qualities displayed during the process can easily distinguish between superior and inferior individuals.

Compared to the man ahead who carried a burden on his back and began to climb with his head down.

The man beside her, who possessed only a handsome appearance and a prestigious family background, appeared rather lackluster.

Gu Huai did not force himself; he walked with ease and even maintained his position at the front, his steps showing no signs of slowing down.

This proves that his judgment was correct, that he was acting within his capabilities, and that he wasn't just indulging in romanticism, becoming arrogant and overestimating his abilities.

However, the fundamental reason for doing this was not excessive goodwill.

If it were someone else in this situation, he might not have made such a decisive decision.

Perhaps it was the conversation that made Gu Huai realize that there wasn't such a great distance between him and her. It seemed that the two internet celebrities from different worlds were just as ordinary as he was in many ways.

For example, her aimless rambling is so annoying and so boring, it's exactly like me.

That's why I especially hoped she could see this sunrise, right?
Looking at Gu Huai ahead, one could still hear Chang Ye's sarcastic and strange sighs from behind.

Xu Cheng remained calm. Although he didn't know why Gu Huai had changed so much recently, it seemed like he was going to overturn his impression of him that had lasted for a long time in a very short period of time.

However, he was genuinely happy for Gu Huai.

Even the best of friends will be disappointed by someone who can't be helped, but luckily he wasn't.

He just likes to express despair and act a little melodramatic. But he's been trying to change, it's just that the pace might be slow, and it might take a lot of effort to make up for that initial drastic difference.

So why shouldn't someone like Gu Huai deserve a better life? Let's give him another push.

Xu Cheng suddenly smiled at Gu Huai in front of him and said, "Gu Huai!"

"what happened?"

Gu Huai even had the leisure to turn around and glance at Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"You're stronger than me, but you're carrying someone on your back. That's fair."

"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

"Let's have another race! Whoever gets to the top of the mountain first is the boss!"

"Could you be any more childish?"

Gu Huai was amused by the joke.

The next moment, Xu Cheng took a deep breath and then dashed out.

Then, Gu Huai, who had been saying the other person was childish, suddenly froze, "Damn, you ran away?!"

Then everyone watched in disbelief as Gu Huai, who was still carrying someone on his back, suddenly started walking with incredible speed.

Chang Ye was utterly dumbfounded.

"You can still run?! Are you a superhero?! Are you a mechanical heart?!" At this moment, he was the only male left, but he couldn't feel happy at all; instead, he felt extremely embarrassed.

All I could do was force a laugh.

"That's so childish. It would be hilarious if they got so tired they couldn't catch their breath halfway through."

"Is it funny? I think the funny thing is someone else."

Xiao Zhou looked at Chang Ye with disdain. She had long disliked this man; he hadn't done anything wrong, yet he kept mocking others.

If it weren't for paying for a hotel room so they could take a shower, Xiaozhou wouldn't have been able to endure it until now.

Chang Ye was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this, finding it utterly baffling.

He couldn't help but look at Song Xiyu, "Is she sick or not?"

Song Xiyu smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was constantly deducting points.

"No, why are you running so fast? It's tiring. Slow down, don't fall!"

Xu Wenxi couldn't believe that the man carrying her on his back was actually running.

As for Xu Cheng, who was clamoring to compare, he had long since fallen behind, just like overtaking someone in the blink of an eye.

Gu Huai did slow down a bit; his physical abilities had improved, but he hadn't reached superhuman levels.

But with the summit getting closer and closer, he couldn't possibly stop to rest.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, but he didn't seem troubled at all carrying Xu Wenxi on his back.

He just smiled.

"They probably can't catch up, right?"

Xu Wenxi said irritably, "I can't even see his shadow anymore. Looks like he'll have to call you 'brother' now."

"Hahaha, that's good then. Xu Cheng, you overestimate yourself!"

"Pfft. Aren't you guys childish?"

"Well, the journey is long and boring, so we always need some childish ways to make it more fun, right?"

Gu Huai smiled and said, his expression still relaxed, but Xu Wenxi had already seen his sweaty appearance.

She reached into her bag and found a wet wipe.

"Phew, looks like we've arrived."

Gu Huai climbed the last step, and before him was not only a wide-open space, but also many tourists who had already reached the top.

At this moment, the sky was already turning a pale white, with faint traces of fire on the horizon, as if a brilliant sunrise was about to burst forth.

Xu Wenxi ignored all of that. She simply unfolded the wet wipes in her hand and said, "Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Before Gu Huai could react, the other person was already wiping their forehead with a wet wipe.

It seems to be not just the forehead, but also the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and cheeks.
He was speechless for a moment, feeling the other person's gentle actions, which were unusual but reassuring.

"You're sweating so much and you still say you're relaxed and not strained? I think you're going to keep up this stubbornness until you're lying down and can't move."

Gu Huai answered softly.

"Sweating doesn't mean I'm tired, especially since you're so light. I don't even feel anything."

"Hmph, of course I'm light."

"You're quite proud."

"hey-hey."

Xu Wenxi smiled, but after wiping, her gaze fell on the other person's cheek.

Perhaps it was because of the running just now, or perhaps it was the sweat. An even stronger smell wafted over.

It wasn't an unpleasant sweaty smell, but rather an indescribable, comforting smell, like the scent of sunshine after a storm.

So much so that Gu Huai looked exceptionally delicious at this moment?

Her throat suddenly felt tight.

But just as she suddenly fell silent, her heart filled with turmoil.

A cheer erupted from the crowd not far away.

"They're out! They're out! Look!!"

"The sun is rising! Quick, take a picture! Quick, take a picture!"

The two of them realized at the same time.

They looked eastward together.

That pale white hue was gradually tinged with red, and that most dazzling and brilliant hue bloomed on the horizon like the first spark ignited by the collision of night and day.

It is so radiant that it seems to want to take over everything in front of it.

Its brilliance instantly burned away all the gloom in my heart.

That dazzling background color appeared in Gu Huai's eyes. He forgot that there was someone on his back, and he also forgot that the distance between them was almost negligible at this moment.

The magnificence that exceeded his expectations prompted him to utter the most primal and simple exclamation.

"It's so beautiful."

Unexpected surprises are the best you can expect.

This pleasant surprise seemed enough to make him forget all the efforts he had put in to reach the summit.

Xu Wenxi, who also witnessed this scene, turned her gaze back to Gu Huai's profile. She adjusted the angle and saw that Gu Huai looked at the sunrise like a child who was seeing a flag-raising ceremony for the first time, with utmost sincerity and innocence.

"Yeah, so beautiful."

She thought with a smile.

At this moment, he was as devout as a believer in the sun.

And what about herself? Who is her temple?
