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

Chapter 152 He's Got It (Second Update!)

Sometimes you don't really need a special reason to go out.

Gu Huai didn't think so before. He felt that he was a person with very low energy, and it was extremely difficult for him to go out except for work.

How could he possibly ask someone out? Especially not a girl like Lin Jiang.

But that's exactly what they did.

It seemed that he suddenly needed to share some emotions with someone, and coincidentally, she came to him.

Of course, one cannot leave all responsibility to others. While this may make things easier for oneself, it is somewhat contrary to one's true feelings and an escape from reality.

It must be acknowledged that not everyone can share this, and Lin Jiang is not someone you can just casually share with.

And she readily agreed.

Gu Huai found it unbelievable that they were even willing to meet immediately.

I must have lost my mind to want to be a willful child, and it's unbelievable that someone would allow me to be willful this time.

They met in a bustling area of ​​the city.

Let's have dinner together before the night wind gets too strong.

Gu Huai didn't reveal anything about his experiences. When Lin Jiang, who was wearing light makeup and a brown trench coat, asked him why he had suddenly asked to meet her today, Gu Huai remained silent.

Gu Huai simply told the other person, "Because the work went very smoothly and I received a bonus, I am very grateful for your help, so I'm treating you to dinner."

"But did I really help in any practical way?"

She asked back with a smile, and when she gazed at herself, Gu Huai could see the trailing lashes at the corners of her rosy eyes.

She was as beautiful as a fox.

Gu Huai then realized that the other party didn't seem to have done anything, and his gratitude seemed somewhat forced.

But soon, the woman holding the chopsticks chuckled and said, "Is it because you're thanking me for my magic?"

Gu Huai immediately became nervous and shy.

There was no magic involved; wasn't that just a kiss on the cheek? But... did that really not count as magic?

Seeing Gu Huai's immediate embarrassment, Lin Jiang laughed heartily and put down her chopsticks.

"Okay, I'm full."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Of course, I've never had a big appetite. Didn't you already know that?"

Indeed, the Lin Jiang I remembered was so petite and always talking about losing weight. Familiar memories surfaced, and I subconsciously forgot that it was something newly added in the simulation, not something that originally existed.

However, Gu Huai, who was familiar with her, spoke up almost immediately.

"Are you still thinking about losing weight? You're already very thin; if you lose any more weight, you won't have any fat left at all."

It was meant as a joke, hoping the other person would live a healthier life.

But to his surprise, she winked at him and said, "So you like women who are a bit voluptuous?"

"Oh, no, not really? I'm fine."

is it?

Come to think of it, at my age I don't seem to have any particular fetishes. I don't have a preference for fair-skinned, young, or thin women; on the contrary, I prefer women with full figures and unique charm.
No way?
"Oh, I see~ Then shall I eat a few more bites?"

"That's not necessary."

"Have a few more bites."

"I really don't have any quirks!"

"Gluck cluck~"

I never expected Lin Jiang could laugh in such a unique way.

"You're so funny, Gu Huai. Your likes and dislikes are written all over your face."

"It can't be that serious."

He was indeed extremely guilty. Was it because he liked this type of person, or because of Lin Jiang that he seemed to care more about this type of person?

do not know.

Anyway, we finished eating very quickly.

As soon as I stepped out of the restaurant, the sky outside had darkened, the streetlights were coming on one after another, and the streets, which should have been desolate, were bustling with activity.

Are you in a hurry to get home?

Lin Jiang asked softly.

"Ah, I'm fine."

Although he hadn't spoken about his parents and uncle's family, and his emotions seemed to haven't been fully released, he hadn't been able to share these feelings freely. But actually, Gu Huai was in a pretty good mood.

After all, if she were to tell her about her messy family affairs, wouldn't she think her own situation was too much like a quagmire? Probably no one would be willing to drag themselves into the mess while trying to save someone.

Even if she were willing to do it, Gu Huai felt he couldn't bear to.

Perhaps it was this environment that made him too guilty to speak. How could he keep showing his wounds, telling the other person that he was in an even deeper abyss before one predicament was even over? That would make him seem unworthy.

"How about we go see a movie?"

"Looking again?"

"Of course! A lot of movies have come out lately, but I haven't seen any of them. Since they called me out today, of course I have to see one!"

"Okay, but I'll buy the tickets."

"Hey~ You're quite the chauvinist in this weird place."

"I always feel bad for letting you treat me, don't I? It's not like I'm penniless."

"Okay then~"

The dappled light in the movie theater shone on Gu Huai's face. The two of them were not watching the kind of clichéd youth romance or urban stories about adult men and women.

It's the kind of thrilling and suspenseful crime movie.

It's unclear whether Lin Jiang is simply catering to her own preferences or if her hobbies are truly different from those of ordinary women.

As the movie ended, Lin Jiang was still reminiscing.

"I never would have guessed that the final perspective was actually the male protagonist's own; he was the real murderer."

In fact, Gu Huai wanted to say that if you watch a little more movies of this genre, you'll know that this type of film is not new.

The numerous hints were actually a bit too much in the early stages, which made Gu Huai think of those possibilities, but it seemed that saying them out loud would only make him seem like he was deliberately showing off.

So he smiled and nodded.

"It's not bad. It's refreshing to see a protagonist who isn't so righteous and awe-inspiring once in a while."

"Yes, is it intentional to film it this way to make the audience sympathize with the murderer? To make everyone feel that although he killed someone, he was forced to do it and that he was also in great pain, etc."

"That's roughly the idea. Many directors like to film like this nowadays."

"What about you?"

"Me? I can't make movies."

I'm asking if you like this approach?

Gu Huai thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't really have any special feelings about it, but I don't think that this kind of subject matter, where everyone has their own hardships, although it will leave a strong impression in the end, will make you feel like you've been tricked, as if your emotions have been manipulated, and you're caught in a dilemma of not knowing whether to feel relieved or regretful?"

"That makes some sense."

"Of course, I was just saying."

The two left the movie theater with smiles. It was already quite late, and tomorrow wasn't a day off where they could do whatever they wanted, so saying goodbye at this time was the best option.

Those things were still left unsaid, but Gu Huai felt that whether or not they were said didn't seem to matter anymore.

I'm not so fragile that I need someone to share my wounds with me for comfort at all times, and besides, I'm already relaxed and happy enough right now, aren't I?

"It's getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow, and you have to go to class, right? So..."

"So, shall we take another walk?"

"Ok?"

Lin Jiang's sudden words surprised Gu Huai.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered man, she smiled familiarly and showed her signature dimples.

"It won't take too long, just walk along this street."

"I'm fine with it, and there's no rush."

Gu Huai was naturally more than happy to accept, but then he heard the other person say softly, "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?"

"After all, whether time is tight or not depends on when you ask me."

"."

Gu Huai looked at the woman with a slight surprise.

Lin Jiang smiled as before, "Actually, it's okay. Everyone has things they don't want to say. But the fact that you thought of me to help you resolve your emotions shows that you've already become quite perceptive."

Her eyes were like a mirror, or perhaps a crystal-clear lake.

When their eyes met, Gu Huai could clearly see his own reflection in the other person's eyes.

It turns out that what I thought I had hidden so well was actually as fragile as a blank sheet of paper.

It breaks with the slightest touch. No.

Perhaps it was entirely because of this woman; she understood everything and knew everything.

And she is extremely kind and gentle.
