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

Chapter 179 Please, please stop hitting me! (Fourth update, please vote!)

Gu Huai always felt that many coincidences in life were controlled by an invisible hand.

But isn't this a bit too outrageous? Is it really necessary? Do they really have to make sure this guy can't even get a decent meal?

It seemed that he was more guilty than the two graceful young women facing each other at that moment.

"What are you standing there for? Make room for someone else."

"Sit here, sit here!"

"Aren't you married? Sit here, what are you doing here!"

No one at the scene seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere between the three, and they were still joking and making a fuss.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll just sit next to Miss Cai, we know each other anyway."

Cai Yan initially thought the other person was going to sit to her right, but unexpectedly, Lin Jiang directly squeezed between Gu Huai and herself!
"Ok?"

Cai Yan raised her head, while Lin Jiang had already sat down smoothly.

After all, Gu Huai couldn't stop the other party, nor could he say, "If you don't like it, then sit on my lap."
Naturally, one can only make way.

This made the situation quite intriguing.

Lulu patted Gu Huai on the shoulder, "I still have guests to entertain, Gu Huai, please take good care of my friend. And also, take good care of Yan Yan~"

"what?"

The uninformed onlookers could only envy Gu Huai's good fortune with women.

"Oh, I'm also very good at taking care of people! I've always been caring for people since I was little!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Huai, you're quite the ladies' man."

Of course, some women might think Lin Jiang is too naive. It's obvious that there's something going on between Gu Huai and Cai Yan, so why would someone be so inconsiderate as to interfere?

Something has happened.

I'm just a little confused about who I have a problem with.

"Very surprised?"

Lin Jiang could tell what Gu Huai was thinking just by looking at his expression; this was a passive ability triggered by her perception.

Gu Huai nodded helplessly, admitting, "Yes, I did. I didn't expect you two to have this kind of relationship."

Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect it either, but the connection between people is so strange. People you never thought of can become good friends."

Can you and Cai Yan become good friends?

Gu Huai really wanted to ask, but he was a little hesitant.

At this moment, Cai Yan spoke up, "Miss Lin and Gu Huai seem to have a good relationship, right?"

Lin Jiang nodded, her dimples showing. "It's not bad. What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell him before you came? Did you not know he would come, or were you planning to give him a surprise?"

What kind of surprise could come from saying that?
It's not like I'm getting married, and I shouldn't be the main character in this situation. What good can I expect besides an unexpected shock?
Lin Jiang simply smiled and said, "Does Miss Cai like to surprise people like this? I really didn't know he would come."

"Then you should have known I was coming, right?"

"I know that, but is there any necessary connection? It's not like Gu Huai will appear wherever you go, right? Hmm, what happened to your eyebrows?"

Lin Jiang narrowed her eyes slightly, noticing the faint scar on Gu Huai's forehead that had already been treated.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just bumped into something on the way here."

Gu Huai explained.

Lin Jiang frowned immediately. "Has the wound been treated? Won't it get infected? Should I go buy some?"

"No need, I've already taken care of it for him."

Cai Yan casually picked up her chopsticks, just as the dishes were being served.

A faint smile lingered on her lips, as if she were completely at ease.

Lin Jiang frowned even more deeply.

Cai Yan said casually, "Sorry, I just happened to come with him and took care of it."

Lin Jiang's slightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed, and she nodded to Cai Yan, speaking softly.

"Thank you very much."

Why are you thanking me?

Cai Yan said with dissatisfaction.

Lin Jiang appeared innocent, polite, and kind. "Because I know he's not good at expressing himself, he might not be able to express his gratitude, so I'm thanking you on his behalf."

"In what capacity are you thanking me on his behalf?"

Cai Yan gripped her chopsticks tightly, as if she wanted to snap the piece of beef in two.

The two of them were initially quite quiet, and there were quite a few people around, all chatting enthusiastically about the changes in recent years. Their conversation was somewhat inaudible at first, and their expressions didn't reveal anything unusual.

However, at this moment, Cai Yan's obviously hostile expression and her actions became rather obvious.

Gu Huai knew that the two of them were inherently at odds. Seeing that someone was paying attention to them, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and stood up.

"Hey, it's been so long since I've seen you all, old classmates. Um, let me raise a glass! Congratulations to Lulu on her wedding!"

Zhang Qicheng, standing next to him, looked completely bewildered. Why did he suddenly stand up?
Lulu isn't here.

"Give me some face, hurry up!"

Gu Huai patted him on the shoulder.

Although it's been a long time since we last met, and everyone has matured a bit, if someone at the dinner table takes the initiative to stand up and offer a toast, we should naturally give them face.

One by one, everyone raised their glasses.

Gu Huai was just about to crack a joke to ease the tension between the two, but he didn't expect to see Lin Jiang pouring baijiu into her own glass the next moment.

"You drink too?"

"Why shouldn't I drink if you offer me a drink? Besides, if your team leader Cai wants a beverage, then I'll have to keep you company."

she said with a smile.

Cai Yan was taken aback when she saw the orange juice in her glass.

She immediately raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp, then took the glass of white wine that Lin Jiang had just poured and poured herself a full glass.

Everyone at the table was stunned.

"Cai Yan, you're really going to drink it?"

"Wow, so many beautiful women like Cai have collapsed? They're really something else!"

"To be honest, I haven't drunk alcohol for many years, but since both of you ladies have had a drink, I have no choice but to join you." "Who asked you that?!"

Gu Huai's lips twitched.

To be honest, he wasn't forcing these two to drink with him, and he didn't really want to drink that much. So why were they drinking with him instead?
There was nothing they could do; the cup was already raised, what could they possibly do to stop the other party?

Wouldn't that seem like meddling?

Gu Huai could only grit his teeth and watch as the two women stood up one after the other, raised their glasses of liquor and clinked them against his.

Then he drank quite a lot in one gulp.

Gu Huai looked on in horror. If they were all drunk, who was he going to take home? He should have known better than to bring up that drink!

Fortunately, this drink eased the tension between the three of them considerably, at least reducing the direct and veiled tensions.

Gu Huai was finally able to eat a few bites of hot food.

To avoid causing further trouble, he didn't dare to talk much to Lin Jiang, who was right next to him. Instead, he kept pulling Zhang Qicheng aside and drinking, talking about trivial things—essentially just trying to have a casual chat.

Zhang Qicheng is almost at his breaking point.

"Your alcohol tolerance is really good now, can you drink a little slower? I'm about to collapse, really. Let me eat a few bites of food, I'll call you Brother Gu from now on!"

"Isn't this an old classmate I haven't seen in a long time? I'm being too enthusiastic, really. Just one more bite, just one more bite."

"you"

"You like it so much but won't you drink with me?"

Lin Jiang smiled and brought her wine glass closer, and Zhang Qicheng looked over curiously.

"Miss Lin, do you know Gu Huai?"

"Of course I do."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid's got some luck with women. You don't know, do you? Back in high school, we all guessed he was dating Cai Yan. Why are you helping me pick out food? I have a wife!"

"Come on, say less and drink more."

Gu Huai quickly stopped Zhang Qicheng from talking nonsense.

Lin Jiang smiled happily and didn't urge Zhang Qicheng to continue. She simply toasted and drank.

Gu Huai had no choice. He knew Lin Jiang was just that kind of person; if he didn't want to talk about something or know something he didn't want her to know, she wouldn't press him or be eager to know the situation. The extent to which she respected him made Gu Huai feel guilty.

It's different for others, though.

While Gu Huai was changing the subject and focus, Lin Jiang turned around to look at Cai Yan, whose expression was indifferent and seemed to have returned to its most ordinary state.

"Miss Cai, you haven't touched your wine much. Do you not drink much?"

Cai Yan looked over and sneered.

"It's alright. I don't drink often because I have serious business to attend to. Unlike Miss Lin, who seems to be able to drink a lot without getting drunk."

Lin Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Actually, I don't drink often, but I don't know why, sitting here I really want to have a couple of drinks. Maybe it's because I hit it off with you, Ms. Cai? Shall we have a drink? Of course, if you can't drink, then forget it."

"What era are we living in? Isn't this kind of reverse psychology a bit outdated?"

"No, I genuinely care about you. After all, we're both women, we should take care of and cherish each other, right?"

“That makes sense, but although I don’t drink often, I think I can hold my liquor pretty well. Since you’ve already raised your glass, of course I should give you face.”

"Miss Cai, you're too kind. I don't deserve any respect. Cheers!"

"cheers."

"boom."

The constant clinking of glasses was giving Gu Huai a headache.

Please stop drinking!

After a while, Lulu, who had been wandering around for a long time, finally came over with a glass of baijiu.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I have just too many relatives and friends to entertain them all. I hope you won't mind that I put you last."

"What's there to blame you for? Putting it last was just you being polite. You've had quite a bit to drink, haven't you?"

"Hahaha, it's alright. Come on, come on, sorry for the poor hospitality, let's have a drink. Hmm? Why are you two drinking?"

Lulu immediately noticed that Lin Jiang and Cai Yan had poured a lot of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and their bodies were clearly reeking of alcohol.

Cai Yan was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Lin Jiang beside her. Lin Jiang reacted quickly, smiling as she spoke.

"Isn't it because you're getting married that everyone's happy?"

Cai Yan nodded, "That's right, I'm too lazy to drink at other people's weddings, but you're the only one I'd do."

Lulu laughed loudly, "You two, don't even try. We're both in the provincial capital, and I usually ask you out for drinks, but you always say you don't have time. You're giving me face today, so you're saying you won't have this chance again?"

"That's an exaggeration."

"By the way, don't leave after dinner. I booked a private room at a karaoke bar for all of us old classmates. Nobody else will be here. It's okay for us to get together, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Huai realized that they still wanted to drink.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

Moreover, since the two women beside him had already finished two ounces of liquor, he was genuinely worried and was about to step forward and say that he had other things to do, and suggested that they meet again at his wedding tomorrow.

However, Lin Jiang spoke up, "I don't have any classes tomorrow, no problem. But Miss Cai, you have to work tomorrow, right? It's Friday, so..."

"It's alright, there's still plenty of time, it's fine to go and sit for a while."

Lulu nodded happily, "Great! Finally, we have a chance to get together and have fun. By the way, Gu Huai, what about you?"

Gu Huai stood there holding a wine glass.

Who am I? Where am I? Who am I getting married to? I do.

Lin Jiang and Cai Yan both looked at themselves.

To be honest, being noticed by two incredibly beautiful women at the same time should be something that makes a man feel like he's on cloud nine, and can make his vanity burn like an uncontrollable wildfire.

But now Gu Huai only felt a throbbing sensation in his temples, and his blood pressure was a bit high.

He could clearly hear his own voice, which he was trying to sound relaxed.

"Of course I'm fine."

Is there any problem? Just let those two continue drinking while you go home and sleep.

I’m convinced!
