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

Chapter 190 Taking an Inch and Going Mad! (Third Update, Please Vote!)

Gu Huai has probably been gone for about twenty minutes.

In the steamy bathroom, water spread and covered her fair and delicate body.

Passing through every arc, every inch of graceful curve.

I'm much more sober now, but the price of sobering up after drinking is even more intense fatigue, making me want to fall asleep immediately.

However, Lin Jiang is somewhat of a germaphobe, and with so much going on today, including kissing and physical contact, she inevitably sweated a lot.

Even between the legs.

Her face turned slightly red.

However, she quickly realized something and lowered her head slightly. From this angle, she could clearly see the obvious hickeys remaining on her collarbone.

"You're really putting in a lot of effort."

She found it somewhat amusing, especially the thought of the man seemingly turning into a baby, which made her even more unable to resist.

It's hard to say whether I thought about everything that happened tonight when I went out today; I probably didn't.

However, some things are not difficult to analyze.

For example, regardless of distance, getting closer without constraints and deepening the relationship between men and women step by step will require repeated efforts and even sacrifices.

The only thing is that this process wasn't too difficult for Lin Jiangxi to accept.

But isn't it a bit too fast? She gently stroked her collarbone, as if the sensation still lingered there.

I was probably still affected by that woman. After all, people tend to disrupt their original rhythm and take the next step faster when they realize a sense of crisis and urgency.

But there's nothing wrong with that. She's not a complete pragmatist, otherwise why would she have told this man before Gu Huai left?

"It's okay, don't overthink it. Tonight's events aren't about confirming anything. You can relax and just treat it as the right atmosphere. It's fine."

She knew all too well how much this man would torment himself, and even if she said that, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

He still overthinks and can't help but torment himself.

But at least it proves that he's not the kind of ungrateful bad man.

As for how things will develop in the future, take it slow, it's okay.

I don't have any particular longing for marriage, so I don't really think it's anything sacred. Being able to experience moments of happiness already surpasses the lives of many others.

On his way home, Gu Huai always felt that he would suddenly shudder and wake up abruptly from the bed.

Then I realized that everything that happened tonight was just a dream.

Even the entire experience during this period was a dream.

I was just kidding. Your dark circles haven't gone away, and Cai Yan and Lin Jiang never even appeared. It's all just a figment of your imagination because they existed in your world and left a deep impression. You finally couldn't handle the insomnia and overwork anymore, and this is the illusion you created for yourself, a kind of mental breakdown.

You didn't flip the table at the class reunion either.

You also did not bravely rebel against your parents who had been oppressing you.

Without Xu Cheng, there would be no Xu Wenxi.

The colleagues who have become kinder because their situation has improved simply don't exist. You can turn your head and see Zhong Xinyang, whom you hate, looking at you smugly and telling you that he has become the team leader.

too frightening.

It's so unreal.

He already felt it was a dream to have that 'accident' with Cai Yan, and then later, he sent Lin Jiang home.

That's a science fiction work that far surpasses the Three-Body Problem series.

One night, the kiss between two stunning beauties left a hickey on Lin Jiang's collarbone. It was like a skilled hunter leaving his mark on his prey.

Just like the most extreme serial killers would use the same methods and leave the same marks to prove their 'great achievements'.

But everything I'm feeling now—the cold wind blowing in through the slightly open taxi window, the driver chewing betel nuts while watching a TikTok livestream—all of it tells me that it's all real.

ah.
I anticipated that my life would change because of the simulation system and my own transformation, but this is just too much.

It's a bit like rushing down a slope and finding your brakes have failed.

While it's exciting and exhilarating, it can also bring a bit of unease.

However, the root of this unease has changed. Before, it might have been a doubt about whether I deserved all of this—a kind of self-doubt. But now that part has diminished considerably; it's more about…
Cai Yan and Lin Jiang.

They are two sparkling diamonds placed on a scale.

Either choice feels like a regret, because choosing means losing the other. It's something that makes you feel suffocated just thinking about it.

If only we could choose not to choose, or rather, choose everything, it would be like living in ancient times.
However, it doesn't seem to be some kind of pipe dream. It just has an extremely demanding prerequisite: you must be qualified to make this request. The prerequisite is that you must be a unique person to deserve the best things in the world.

The value of power seemed to become tangible at this moment.

This power is not the narrow kind of power that comes from holding office or engaging in politics, but rather the power to obtain a higher social status and have more resources at one's disposal.

I seem to be a long way from reaching that level.

But now that things we never dared to imagine are happening one by one, does that mean there's really no possibility of such a thing? Indeed, what drives human progress the most is the insatiable desire in the human heart.

How utterly despicable, Gu Huai.

I was lost in thought the whole way, and reminiscing along the way.

As for comparing the taste of their lips, that's too much of a stretch, and it's really impossible to tell which is better.

When I got home, I was actually quite hungry.

Thankfully, we still had some instant noodles at home from the last time we bought them. We were so hungry that we couldn't bear the thought of ordering takeout, waiting for it, or even having it stolen.

I cooked some instant noodles and then fried myself a crispy egg.

And believe it or not, with cooking skill books around, even cracking an egg won't leave the yolk and white all over the stovetop. It's done with one hand, effortlessly.

It's like he transformed into a martial arts master overnight. He used to have difficulty even wielding a stick, but now he can do the Swallow Return.

It's a pity I forgot about this when I was at Lin Jiang's house, otherwise I could have shown off my skills. But thinking about it, I can't do that, since it's almost 2 o'clock now.

If we linger any longer, we might miss something else entirely.

Sure enough, I was too moral, even more so than girls, avoiding the idea of ​​a man and woman being alone in a room, or even spending the night together.

This time it wasn't just about cooking instant noodles. I also searched online for a video on "how to make instant noodles taste like five-star food." I used to think it was just making trouble for no reason. Instant noodles are just instant noodles. If you make it so complicated, how can it be convenient?
Having culinary skills makes learning easy, and even smelling that unique aroma gives me a strange sense of accomplishment.

After taking the first bite, Gu Huai wanted nothing more than to delete Meituan (a food delivery app). Why would he order takeout anymore? Why not just cook for himself? It's delicious and saves money.

"Om."

Just as I was enjoying my meal, savoring it slowly and deliberately, my phone vibrated.

I thought it would be a message from Lin Jiang or Cai Yan, but I didn't expect it to be from Xu Wenxi.

Xi: [What are you doing?]

Gu Huai thought about it for a moment. Pretending to be asleep and not replying would have been the best option at this time, since this woman was prone to going on and on without end and loved to suddenly send voice messages!
But this time, Gu Huai chose to reply to the message.

[Eating instant noodles, why aren't you asleep yet?]

Xi: [Is life really that hard? Eating instant noodles at 2 AM? Are you planning to go out and sweep the streets at 5 AM?]

Gu Huai: [Can you please look forward to my order? There aren't many takeout options available right now, and besides, I cooked it myself, it wasn't just soaked in boiling water.]

Xi: [You make it sound like there's a huge difference. It's just instant noodles, isn't it?] Gu Huai: [That's different. This time I learned a recipe online, and it's so delicious! It's a pity you can't smell it.]

Xi: [I'm taking a taxi to your house right now. If you don't like the smell, I'll castrate you.]

Gu Huai: "That's unnecessary."

Xi: [Hmph, but it's rare to see you still awake at this hour. Working overtime again?]

Gu Huai: [No, I was at someone's wedding banquet, and we sang karaoke there, so I only just got back now.]

Most of the 'unimportant' processes are omitted.

Xi: [Why didn't you invite me for this? I sing really well.]

Gu Huai sneered. "How could it be better than Lin Jiang's? Clown!"

However, since he had other plans in mind, he naturally couldn't mock the other party right now.

Gu Huai: [Why did they invite you to their wedding? I'll ask you to sing next time.]

Xi: [? Where's Gu Huai? Did you kidnap him? How much money would you want to kill him?]

Gu Huai: [What's wrong with you?]

Xi: [You're asking me to sing? That doesn't sound like you. You wouldn't come out even if I asked you.]

Gu Huai: [No way! You helped me out, why would I treat you like this? I'm not an ingrate.]

Xi: [Then come out with me tomorrow, I've been bored these past few days.]

Gu Huai: [No, I have a wedding tomorrow. I already took half a day off from work.]

Xi: [Look at you, still denying it!]

Who invites someone out on a Friday? Just because you don't have to work all the time doesn't mean others don't have to work, right? Do you even know what a workday is?
Gu Huai: [Let's schedule it during my break. By the way, there's something I might need your help with.]

One minute.

Two minutes.

five minutes.

Gu Huai had finished his noodles, but the other party still hadn't replied.

Gu Huai: [Hello? Asleep?]

Gu Huai: [Where is he?]

Gu Huai: [Sends a WeChat red envelope.]

Your red envelope has been claimed by the recipient.

Xi: [A mere penny? You think you can give a beggar a meal? A beggar would dump his bowl on your head!]

Gu Huai: [Why aren't you replying all of a sudden?]

Xi: [That's how the adult world is, you know. If you don't want to get into trouble by helping others, you'll just quietly disappear~]

Gu Huai: [It's not that serious. It's not like I'm asking you to do anything personally. I just want to ask you about some things.]

Xi: [Oh, can you explain? You can use such words? I thought you were the kind of person with no manners, always spouting "You son of a bitch."]

Gu Huai took the bowl to wash it, quickly cleaned it with dish soap, rinsed it with water, dried his hands, lay down on the bed, turned off the light, and picked up his phone.

Then I replied: "Putting everything else aside, I'm at least more polite than most people you've met, right? I genuinely have a question I want to ask you specifically, and it's in your area of ​​expertise."

Xi: [Want to learn to sing?]

Gu Huai: [.]

Xi: [I'm also very professional in yoga and Pattaya; I can help you spread your legs 360 degrees.]

Gu Huai: [If you want to kill me and then fold me up and put me in a box, just say so. Seriously, are you bored? I'm not kidding!]

Xi: [Hey, I wasn't joking! Why the rush? Tell me, do you want to become an internet celebrity?]

This is naturally Xu Wenxi's forte, and Gu Huai did not forget the things he still needed to experiment with carefully during the simulation.

The best person to consult is, of course, Xu Wenxi.

Gu Huai: [I'd like to ask you some tips and techniques for making videos. Also, how do I maintain such high fan engagement and a steady growth in followers like you?]

Xi: [The following is paid content. Please pay 8888 to unlock.]

Gu Huai: [Isn't talking about money too hurtful to our relationship?]

Xi: [Trying to get something for nothing from me? I'm livestreaming, and other people can't even see me after spending several carnivals on me, and you think you can get something for nothing?!]

Gu Huai: [Are there any more interesting, humane ways to showcase the progress of human civilization, beyond mere vulgarity?]

Xi: [Speak human language.]

Gu Huai: [Are there any conditions that don't require payment? My money is useful, really.]

Xi: [Hmph, seeing how pitiful you are, and considering we're old classmates, you'll have to come out with me on Saturday. If that's the case, I might reluctantly agree to teach you some of my secret techniques.]

Gu Huai thought for a moment: "I might have something to do on Saturday."

Xi: [Deleted her as a friend.]

Gu Huai: [Okay, okay, Saturday it is. But what do you want to do?]

Xi: [We'll talk about it later. I'll let you know. Just be prepared.]

Gu Huai: [Alright, can you teach me now?]

Xi: [Call me Master.]

"."

Gu Huai: [Master.]

Xi: [Calling out "Beautiful Xu!"]

"."

Gu Huai: [Beautiful Xu.]

Xi: [Call out "Mommy!"]

Gu Huai: [That's enough!]

Xi: [Hahahaha, just kidding. Come closer, and I'll teach you in detail.]

After saying that, Gu Huai hadn't even opened the input keyboard yet.

The next moment, a voice invitation was sent.

It's really stupid.

Gu Huai now deeply regrets asking Xu Wenxi for advice on this matter. He has seen people who take an inch and then a mile, but he has never seen someone who goes crazy over a small gain.

Ugh.
