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

Chapter 177 These Things~ (Second Update!)

"Crunch!!"

Neither Gu Huai nor Cai Yan had time to prepare for the sudden stop. The moment the powerful inertia occurred, Gu Huai was facing Cai Yan directly.

Cai Yan leaned forward uncontrollably and instinctively reached out her hand.

But Gu Huai's instincts were even faster than hers. He didn't even care about his own safety and stretched out his hands towards Cai Yan.

"boom!"

The car didn't hit anything and stopped in time. Even the driver leaned forward and almost caused the airbags to deploy.

Meanwhile, a leisurely electric scooter in front of the windshield merely glanced at the suddenly stopped car before continuing to ignore the traffic lights and speed away.

"Fuck your mother! What kind of manners do these people riding electric bikes have?! Don't they even watch where they're going? Excuse me, are you all alright?"

Cai Yan, who was in the back, thought she was about to hit the back of the driver's seat, and her hair became a little disheveled.

But the first thing she felt wasn't the touch of the backrest, but a warm embrace.

She subconsciously looked up and saw Gu Huai, who was almost hugging her with his arms outstretched, looking at her. His own shoulders were slamming heavily against the back of the chair.

She ignored the driver and looked at the man who slowly raised his head.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

She could certainly tell that she hadn't suffered any trauma, and since she was in the car and hadn't experienced a high-speed collision, there shouldn't be any problems.

But what about Gu Huai, who took the place of himself to counteract the inertia?
This fool always seems to do dangerous things without regard for his own safety. Of course, this complaint isn't really a blame; it's just that worry can escalate into inexplicable anger. She knows she has this flaw, but she just can't control it.

Gu Huai shook his head and slowly released his hands.

I detached myself from the other person's shoulders and sat back down, still warm from their touch.

"It's nothing, just a bump on the shoulder, it's fine."

The driver in front kept apologizing, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect someone like this to rush out without even looking at the traffic lights. I'm so sorry!"

Cai Yan looked coldly at the driver, "Even if you didn't know someone would rush out, weren't you driving way too fast just now? Otherwise, why would the sudden braking be so severe?"

"I'm so sorry. Are you hurt anywhere? I... I'd like to compensate you."

"What's the use of compensation? What if something really happens!"

Looking at Cai Yan's cold demeanor, the driver in front trembled and could barely speak.

Gu Huai quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist, saying softly, "It's alright, it's nothing. Driver, please be more careful when you drive in the future. You really shouldn't drive so fast in the city."

"you"

Cai Yan glared at Gu Huai, clearly annoyed that he was letting it go so easily. She hadn't been hurt, and she wasn't the one who bumped into his shoulder. Who did he think she was helping?
Gu Huai knew Cai Yan's temperament; she wasn't the type to give up easily.

But he was indeed unharmed. Although it's easy to make yourself look hypocritical by forgiving others' mistakes with your own magnanimity, he genuinely dislikes getting entangled in trivial matters. It doesn't bring any benefit, and it only breeds resentment. Of course, the most important thing is that he himself is unharmed.

He could only grab the other person's other wrist and try his best to comfort Cai Yan.

"Alright, alright, it's really nothing. Lulu's still waiting for us, isn't she? Let's go over first."

"You're so annoying. Wait, what's wrong with this place?"

Suddenly, Cai Yan noticed a little blood seeping from Gu Huai's eyebrow. Although it wasn't much, it was clear that the skin was broken.

Gu Huai was also stunned for a moment. Only after hearing what the other party said did he feel a slight burning pain in his eyebrow. It wasn't very strong, so the wound probably wasn't big.

"I don't know, just now..."

Cai Yan pulled her hand away from Gu Huai and looked at her fingers.

"Maybe I instinctively reached out and you just happened to pounce on me, so I poked you?"

Cai Yan was at a loss for what to do.

A woman who is always very opinionated and good at exuding her own aura suddenly looked at him like a child who had made a mistake, and Gu Huai found this scene inexplicably cute.

He just smiled easily.

"It's nothing, just a small wound."

"Should we go to the hospital?" she asked worriedly.

"Then it will probably heal on the way there, and the doctor can only look at my face."

"You're still joking even in this state!"

Cai Yan slapped Gu Huai on the shoulder in an annoyed manner.

"Ouch. That's where I bumped into."

"Huh? Are you... alright?"

Cai Yan quickly reached out and gently rubbed his shoulder, watching his expression with concern, afraid that he would show any signs of pain. But she found that the man, whose eyebrow was bleeding slightly, was suppressing a laugh.

She reacted quickly.

His tone also turned cold.

"It's fun, isn't it?"

"Hahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just teasing you."

Seeing the young woman withdraw her hand and sit back down, adopting an icy demeanor, Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh.

"Really angry?"

Cai Yan turned to look at him and said, "Fasten your seatbelt first."

"Oh"

I obediently fastened my seatbelt in the back seat.

Seeing Gu Huai's more obedient appearance, Cai Yan's pent-up anger could only turn into a sigh.

She glared at Gu Huai with annoyance.

"Why should I be angry? I'm not the one who got hurt."

"Then what did you just say?"

"Of course I'm angry! Do you think I need you to block my way? Luckily nothing serious happened. What if you had actually bumped into something and the impact had been serious, and you were injured even more badly?"

Cai Yan's angry yet somewhat helpless expression reminded Gu Huai of how she looked after leaving the police station on her birthday during the simulation.

Of course, at that time, Cai Yan was even more unable to control her emotions and almost started cursing at herself.

However, Gu Huai still couldn't bring himself to complain.

He even vaguely saw what this woman would be like when she raised her children; she would definitely be the type who loved children but was also strict. Her worried and angry expression was indeed a little intimidating, but selfishly, he couldn't help but feel a little pleasure from it. It wasn't a strange quirk at all.

Gu Huai, who never felt genuine love and care growing up, would indeed feel that having someone take care of him was a sign of being pampered.

So when she said she wanted to quit smoking, Gu Huai took it to heart.

Faced with Cai Yan like this, Gu Huai would only smile and softly reply, "I'm fine, I'm not a child, why would I do anything to hurt myself?"

"Haven't you always been like this? You were the same way on my birthday, you're just like that."

"There's really no other way."

"What do you mean 'there's no way'? Is it hard to protect yourself? I'm begging you to take care of yourself, even if it means neglecting your own needs."

"After all, I can't just watch you get hurt, can I?"

General.

The driver, who appeared to be cautiously and timidly starting to drive, was subconsciously muttering to himself.

Sure enough, he didn't hear the beautiful woman behind him, whose anger was truly frightening, continue speaking.

In the three-person carriage, it seemed that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

He secretly glanced back through the rearview mirror.

Then I saw that incredibly beautiful woman give this tall, somewhat handsome man a light punch. Damn, it wasn't even as hard as my son's punch! If you really can't take it, why don't you just touch him? All that pretense.

Then she withdrew her hand and remained silent, as if she were sulking.

The man remained seated in the same spot, a gentle smile on his face, without moving an inch.

Why aren't you moving?
Such a great opportunity, go up and hug her! And then it's all about kissing!
You two aren't students anymore, why are you acting all innocent now? What about that scolding you gave me earlier? You got scolded for nothing!
No, if they're students, they might actually start fighting. Students these days are too wild.
Finally, they arrived at their destination, and the driver breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you two, we've arrived. I'm truly sorry about what happened today, please forgive me again."

Cai Yan snorted coldly and got out of the car without saying anything more. Gu Huai smiled and said, "Just be more careful when you drive in the future."

"I know, thank you."

Seeing the driver's grateful eyes, Gu Huai knew that the gratitude wasn't necessarily because he seemed magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge, but more likely because he had appeased Cai Yan and prevented her from pursuing the matter further.

When Gu Huai got out of the car, he found that Cai Yan was gone.

Hmm? Are you hiding under the car to scare yourself?

Gu Huai quickly realized that Cai Yan had run across the street in the blink of an eye; wasn't the restaurant they were supposed to eat at over here?
Gu Huai stood there and waited. He soon saw Cai Yan go into a pharmacy by the roadside and come out a short while later, carrying a small bag.

Wait until she crosses the road again and walks back to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, when you're buying something, could you squat down a bit?"

"Hmm? Are you going to ride me in today?"

"Can I step on you to get in?"

"That will cost extra."

"Get lost! Stop joking around and squat down."

"Oh."

Gu Huai obediently squatted down by the roadside, and Cai Yan watched as he suddenly adopted an Asian squat, instantly turning the tables on him.

She couldn't help but laugh. Who told you to squat down like that?
Forget it.

Then he took out disinfectant alcohol and cotton swabs from the bag, saying, "It might sting a little, just bear with it."

Gu Huai realized what the other person was about to do, and he said softly, "It's really not that serious, it's just a cut, it should have scabbed over by now, right?"

Given her physical condition and the fact that it was indeed a minor injury, based on her parents' experience since childhood, they always told her: "Why are you crying over such a small injury? It's just a scrape, it'll heal quickly!"
In their minds, as long as the wound isn't broken, it's just a superficial injury that can heal itself, and crying is a sign of weakness.

However, Cai Yan spoke in a low voice while performing her actions seriously.

"Of course you need to treat it if you get hurt by a nail. There are a lot of bacteria. What if you get an infection? You can blame me when your face is ruined. I won't take responsibility."

"hiss"

Feeling the sting of the alcohol, Gu Huai gasped.

"Does it hurt?"

Cai Yan's worried gaze fell upon her.

Gu Huai was practically melting under that gaze. Looking up at her from below, every little expression of concern seemed to pound his heart.

"Fortunately."

He laughed.

Looking down at the other person's smile, Cai Yan felt her cheeks inexplicably burning.

"I'll just let you suffer until you die."

As she said this, her hand movements became even gentler.

After applying alcohol for disinfection, I took out a tube of erythromycin ointment and used a cotton swab to apply it to the wound on Gu Huai's eyebrow.

She was quite satisfied with what she had done.

Looking at the tall man squatting obediently in front of her, his overly docile appearance made her unable to resist reaching out and gently patting his cheek.

"Alright, your face shouldn't be ruined now."

"That's good. Thank you, doctor, for saving my handsome face."

"Pfft. Where's the handsomeness?"

Seeing the other person's smug look, I felt that the two light pats weren't enough, so I started pinching the other person's delicate cheeks with my fingers.

These little games are so captivating that they seem unaware of what others perceive them to be.

The two of them seemed to have lost all sense of what the world was like.

until
"Huh? This is the first thing we do upon meeting? Did I come at the wrong time?"

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Lulu, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, standing not far away, looking at them with the familiar mischievousness of an eighteen-year-old.
