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

Chapter 188 Listen Up! (First Update!)

Lin Jiang's room was pretty much what Gu Huai had imagined.

She wasn't the kind of person who appeared respectable on the surface but whose private life was a complete mess.

The entrance was clean, the floor was spotless, and everything was neatly arranged when the lights were turned on.

Whether it's the cushions on the sofa, a giant Doraemon doll, or the water cups and kettles neatly arranged on plates on the table, everything looks like it's waiting to be sold.

As Gu Huai entered, he subconsciously glanced at the shoe cabinet, which contained only women's small-sized slippers, high heels, and casual shoes.

To be honest, it seems like even if there are men's shoe styles, it's none of my business; it's not something I'm entitled to concern myself with, at most it's just a bit melodramatic. But it seems like my life has recently taken a turn for the better, and none of those dramatic, high-pressure situations have occurred.

How do you say that?

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength; the second half of the saying is unnecessary.

"I didn't expect you to come, so I didn't pack much. Don't laugh at me."

Lin Jiang said, still a little embarrassed.

Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh and said, "You haven't even tidied up yet? You've made it look like you're selling a house, all clean and tidy."

"Hmm? Is it very clean? This is considered normal for a girl's room, right?"

"That's a bit of moral blackmail. Not all girls are as clean as you."

Have you been to many girls' homes?

As if it were a casual remark, she picked up a small box from the cabinet, opened it, and took out a hair tie.

After speaking, she bit the hair tie into her lips and then reached out to gather her long, disheveled hair.

She just kept tying her hair up while looking at herself.

Gu Huai wondered whether she was just naturally naive or so shrewd that she considered everything.

For example, the lethality of this action at this moment.

Biting her hair tie, with a reserved smile in her eyes, that kind of unconscious, instinctive purity.

Her lips were red and tender, and her cheeks were slightly flushed, exuding an allure that was at its peak.

Who can beat you?

After that one glance, Gu Huai almost forgot what the other person had asked him.

"No, I just heard it from Xu Cheng, oh, the one who posted my blind date video online, my good friend. He interacts with a lot of girls."

Lin Jiang didn't continue this extremely seductive gesture any longer, as if there were simply too many aspects of her charm that one or two gestures couldn't fully express her allure.

"Oh right. It seems there aren't any slippers that you can wear. Why don't you just leave your shoes on?"

She looked at Gu Huai, who was standing in the entryway, and said.

Gu Huai did not go inside for this reason. "Wouldn't that be a bad idea? It's so clean, I'll just step on it and make it all dirty. Maybe I should go back. He probably won't be waiting for me downstairs."

Lin Jiang smiled as she looked at Gu Huai. She had already sat lightly on the living room sofa. She didn't give any reasons to persuade this man, but simply said something that left Gu Huai with no way to persuade her.

"Go back if you're willing."

What does it mean to be willing to go back?

Oh, what kind of person am I, Gu Huai? For a bit of beauty, or even just a vague possibility, an ambiguous hint, I'd willingly walk into a trap like a fool? What's the difference between this and actively accepting a honey trap?
"Don't you even have shoe covers?"

Okay, I am indeed a little unwilling and worried.

"Pfft. No, it's because I don't like unimportant people coming to my house, so I basically don't prepare these things in advance. But I'll remember next time you come. It's really okay, come in, I have to clean every day anyway."

Now that things have come to this point, it would be disrespectful not to go in. I can't refuse their kind invitation, sigh.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just a passive and easily swayed person.

Gu Huai finally sat down not far from Lin Jiang on a very soft sofa.

Lin Jiang, who was not far away, had already taken off her large cotton-padded coat, revealing a plain-colored turtleneck sweater underneath.

This kind of clothing really only has a special charm when worn by certain people. Although you can't see the collarbone and neck, the high curve is the most perfect curve Gu Huai has ever seen, which cannot be expressed by ordinary mathematical formulas.

He especially sat up straight, making it appear as if there wasn't a single limp part of his body. Gu Huai figured that, in his opinion, taking photos from various angles with a phone would leave little room for editing.

"By the way, are you really alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Still seemingly a little worried, Lin Jiang, whose long hair was loosely tied back not in a bun but in a lazy updo that gave off a "stepmotherly" vibe, asked with concern.

Gu Huai quickly shook his head, "I'm really fine." He even stretched out his unharmed hands, "Don't worry, this level of injury can't hurt me."

Lin Jiang looked at the other person with amusement, "You talk like you're some kind of fighting king, but I don't often see you getting into fights."

"I don't have violent tendencies, so why would I always fight with people? As long as I can protect myself, that's enough."

But Lin Jiang looked at him with a soft gaze, "You protected me too."

Gu Huai was taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly looked away. "Protecting women is a man's responsibility."

They keep saying they want to rebel against the specific labels and values ​​that society assigns to everyone, but they themselves say very stereotypical things.

That's just how men are. They can easily become infatuated with a beautiful woman's gaze and words, and it becomes natural for them to make sacrifices for her.

Lin Jiang stood up. "Would you like something to drink? You've had quite a bit to drink, and I'm feeling a little dizzy."

Gu Huai thought for a moment, "Pure water is fine, I'm actually okay."

"Really? I have honey at home, would you like me to add some?"

"That's too sweet, I can't drink this."

"You don't have diabetes, so why are you afraid of sweets?"

Lin Jiang smiled, took two bottles of water directly from the refrigerator, and handed them to Gu Huai.

She didn't open her own bottle, but looked at the other person with a mischievous smile, "Want me to unscrew the cap?"

This was clearly a joke, and Gu Huai returned the joke, "You don't seem like the kind of girl who's so weak she can't even open a bottle cap."

"Pfft. What's wrong? Are you prejudiced against me? I'm a very delicate girl too. You were just saying you'd protect me."

"That's not within the scope of protection, is it? You can't possibly get bitten by a bottle cap, can you?"

He easily opened the water bottle and then took a big gulp.

It's true that drinking alcohol can make you feel thirsty, especially when a man and a woman are alone in her room. The atmosphere can easily make people feel tense and anxious.

This is a completely different situation from walking alone outside.

I turned on the water myself, and watching the other person drink it became a pleasure. They tilted their heads back, revealing a bit of their neck, which had no neck wrinkles, only extremely delicate skin.

Although you can't see how the water flows, you can clearly see the ripples rising and falling in her throat, as if she can't help but think about something very serious.

Gu Huai quickly looked away.

After finishing her water, Lin Jiang naturally shifted her hips towards Gu Huai, as if closing the distance was a perfectly normal thing to do.

Then I heard a sound that was much closer.

"Don't do such dangerous things again. I was terrified when I saw you guys get into a fight."

Gu Huai wasn't holding his phone; his hands were still clenched tightly on his thighs, as if he had nothing better to do.

“I don’t like fighting either. He attacked me from behind, so there was nothing I could do. I didn’t want to get hurt.” Hearing Gu Huai say this, Lin Jiang sighed softly and then reached out her hand in a comforting gesture.

Gu Huai suddenly saw a soft and beautiful palm covering his folded hands.

Then she heard a voice in her ear, "Don't worry, he probably won't go out of his way to cause you trouble."

Gu Huai hesitated for a moment, but did not pull away from the warm, slightly damp palm.

"What if he keeps bothering you even though I'm fine?"

Lin Jiang smiled. Was she too close? Her laughter seemed to bring a warm, humid breeze that brushed into her ears.

“It’s okay. Girls have many weapons to protect themselves these days. If he keeps harassing me, I’ll go to the school. I know which person at the school has a relationship with his family. If that person doesn’t care either, I’ll make a scene and let everyone know.”

Indeed, there are many channels for making one's voice heard in this era. However, it is precisely because of the existence of these various channels that the general public is increasingly keen to stir up trouble and take sides, which has gradually become a double-edged sword.

He couldn't help but look up with some concern, and saw Lin Jiang staring at him closely, her hand still on the back of his hand.

"This will also have a significant impact on you."

Her smile was so pure and innocent that it seemed to make everyone forget the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

“It’s okay. I have a skill, so I can always support myself. I don’t necessarily have to stay here. If I really can’t find a job, then there’s nothing I can do but ask you to support me.”

What bold and ambiguous words!

So much so that Gu Huai could only respond with a joke, "I can't even support myself."

“It’s alright, Miss Cai will take care of you, and you can take care of me.”

"What does it have to do with her?"

"Isn't the scent on you hers? I remember what she smelled like."

How did we end up back here again? Good grief, so you brought me to your house just to pry into everything, and you're not satisfied until you get to the bottom of it!

Gu Huai looked into those eyes so close to his own, so captivating, so shimmering with tears, yet they seemed to be able to easily penetrate all his defenses and reach the most hidden part of his heart.

Why are you bringing this up again?

Gu Huai offered a helpless explanation.

However, the other person directly changed their posture, turning their entire body to the side, thus getting even closer to Gu Huai, with their soft, fragrant body pressed against Gu Huai's arm.

The room, even with the lights on, immediately felt dim.

The aroma, mixed with the scent of alcohol, had somehow transformed into a pleasant fragrance that made one feel both confused and disoriented.

She casually grabbed her shoulder with one hand and climbed the other up to her collar, as if forcing Gu Huai to meet her gaze.

"Because I care a lot."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Play dumb!

At this point, just play dumb and you'll win, Gu Huai!

However, it seems that his only tricks were thoroughly analyzed by his opponent, who quickly found the most effective way to counter them.

Her hands moved up again, this time cupping her face in her hands.

Her alluring body was practically 'stuffed' into his arms, and Gu Huai could feel her burning body temperature and graceful curves.

"I said I care a lot, so I'm still angry."

"Then what to do."

His voice seemed to tremble as he said this.

His Adam's apple was trembling.

Therefore, he was ridiculed by the other party.

Gu Huai saw the smile in her eyes and felt his own lips brush against the pad of her thumb.

"So cute."

He felt like he had become a plaything in her hands, a pitiful Tom.

This feeling has never been so strong before. I know it, but it's hopeless and there's no way to undo it.

The increasingly dangerous atmosphere, the ambiguity that almost burned away reason.

Gu Huai tried to calm himself down, for example, by taking a deep breath.

I wanted to remind the other person not to make a decision they might regret impulsively because they've had too much to drink and are feeling tipsy.

After all, relationships between people can be very strong at times, and fragile at others, unable to withstand even the slightest disturbance or deception.

Even if you can't have it, don't let yourself be played with; this is Gu Huai's bottom line.

"Wait a minute. Listen to me."

He tried to make it clear.

However, the other person pinched her upper and lower lips with two fingers.

She smiled and said, "No, you're in my house now, so you have to listen to me."

Gu Huai opened his eyes wide.

The subtext is: What are you trying to say?
Lin Jiang blinked.

"Then listen carefully."

"Hmm? Uh."

How can I hear you clearly?
Looking at the face getting closer and closer.

It's impossible for them to speak.

The scene before my eyes suddenly became dark.

At this point, the vocal cords completely lose their function.

She let go of his hand, wrapped her arms around his neck, and snuggled her whole body into his embrace.

It was a raging torrent, a coastline without ships anchored, only howling winds and torrential rains, a tsunami powerful enough to destroy the world.

A kiss far bolder and more passionate than Cai Yan's silenced all pretense.

All the preparations would then be meaningless.

Reasonable thinking and so-called calm reflection are futile.

What was poured into Gu Huai's mouth was not just the rich aroma, but also her unique flavor.

Or a flood powerful enough to submerge Noah's Ark.

How can a person, especially a woman, be so unreasonable!

Sigh, it's not enjoyable at all, it's humiliating, it's shameful, it's bullying!!
