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

Chapter 194 Do You Want Mine? (Third Update, Please Vote!)

"Alright, now it's time for the final bouquet toss. Come on, everyone who wants to participate, feel free to come up on stage. Our stage is very spacious!"

The ceremony was not very complicated and came to an end quickly. Many of the older people at the table were not interested in the ceremony; all they were hoping for was that the food would be served soon.

Some people have already taken out plastic bags.

Gu Huai had seen the bouquet toss ceremony before, but he usually didn't participate.

After all, given my own circumstances, I can't get married anytime soon, so I don't have too many expectations for it, which doesn't affect those who want to get married.

But this time, Lulu, dressed in a wedding gown, stood on the stage and smiled as she looked this way.

"Gu Huai! Yan Yan, come and catch the bouquet!"

She also glanced back at Lin Jiang, who had finished playing the piano, and said, "Jiang Jiang, come over here too, and share in the joy!"

Gu Huai didn't want to go, but Cai Yan beside him had already stood up. "Get up, didn't we call you?"

"Are you going to try and catch the bouquet?"

"No, just showing up to support them. It'll be more lively with more people."

"Ok."

Gu Huai had no choice but to stand up. Suddenly, the stage was packed with people. But they were all young people, and young people are generally more civilized. Everyone lined up like they were not pushing or shoving, unlike in a supermarket where people were fighting over eggs, as if they wanted to sprint.

Everyone lined up in an orderly fashion.

Lin Jiang somehow ended up next to Gu Huai and Cai Yan.

The two even exchanged a glance through Gu Huai, who was standing between them.

"Miss Cai wants to get married? And you want to try your luck at catching the bouquet?" Lin Jiang said with a smile.

Cai Yan smiled slightly.

"It's just to share in the joy, but Miss Lin seems quite anxious."

"How could that be? Miss Cai, have you forgotten? I'm a year younger than you."

"tsk"

Gu Huai seemed to hear the sound of teeth clenching, so he quickly spoke.

"It's not like we're playing musical chairs. Catching a bouquet doesn't mean anything. It's just for fun, right? Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to throw it away!"

This isn't just idle talk.

The emcee has already started the countdown.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

With her back to the crowd, Lulu tossed her bouquet high into the air behind her.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Gu Huai, and Gu Huai had no intention of reaching out to snatch the bouquet.

But as luck would have it, the bouquet flew right in his direction, and the group of young people around him were incredibly well-mannered! Not a single one of them reached out to try and snatch it!

Gu Huai didn't even reach out!
Why don't you guys behave this well when the school cafeteria is open for meals?!
There was no way Gu Huai could just let the bouquet hit his face without reacting; he wasn't a vegetable.

No one else offered help; everyone was being polite. So Gu Huai had no choice but to ask for help.

Suddenly, the bouquet landed in his hands. There was nothing wrong with that; he took it, and that was that. It wasn't some strange rule that the person who took the bouquet had to immediately find a girlfriend, register at the civil affairs bureau a few months later, hold a grand wedding, and then throw the bouquet again.

The worst part was that after catching the bouquet...

Gu Huai saw two hands reaching towards him almost simultaneously from the corner of his eye.

On the left is Cai Yan, reaching out her hand towards herself.

Lin Jiang is on the right, and she is also reaching out to him.

What are you doing? You didn't try to snatch it when it flew over, but now that it's in my hands, you're trying to grab it? You're playing favorites, aren't you!

Of course, they wouldn't think that way.

In Gu Huai's view, the way they looked at him almost simultaneously was conveying a signal.

Give me the flowers.

This is what it looks like in the first second.

The moment they passed Gu Huai and saw him extend his hand, their expressions changed, and so did the atmosphere.

Once you decipher it, that's it.
Who are you going to give the flowers to?

Can this be a multiple-choice question too?

Gu Huai swore that in all the years he had taken exams, he had never encountered a more difficult multiple-choice question than this.

On one side is a cold and aloof female boss with a strong contrast.

On one side is her bright and beautiful childhood sweetheart, who is not very good at handling things but understands her very well.

Just as Lulu, who had just tossed the flowers, was about to turn around to see who had received her blessing, the crucial choice seemed to be approaching its final deadline.

At this moment, Gu Huai made the wisest choice.

He averted his gaze, looking neither left nor right, like Prometheus stealing fire, raising his bouquet high.

"Who answered it?"

Lulu opened her eyes wide.

Gu Huai held up the bouquet.

"it's me!"

Lin Jiang and Cai Yan were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and tacitly looked away, and of course, put down their outstretched hands.

Gu Huai was very satisfied.

Still making a choice? This is ridiculous! What's in my hands is mine!
Lulu was also very satisfied with the result. She smiled and looked at Gu Huai, "You caught the bouquet, so you'll play mahjong with me this afternoon!"

"what?"

"Hahahahaha."

Finally, the ceremony ended, everyone returned to their seats, and the banquet could finally begin smoothly.

Lin Jiang also changed her clothes and put on comfortable casual clothes before arriving at the spot that Gu Huai had reserved for her in advance.

As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to look at Gu Huai next to her. "I was so nervous just now, I was afraid of playing the wrong notes."

Gu Huai couldn't admit that he hadn't noticed any nervousness in her at all. How could someone almost thirty still act like a high school student? But it didn't feel out of place; her pitiful quality had always been hers.

Gu Huai said with a smile, "It's nothing. I doubt many people here could tell. Besides, playing a few wrong notes is no big deal."

Lin Jiang, with her shallow dimples, asked, "So, what did you think of what you were listening to just now?"

"I think it sounds great, and your technique has improved since high school."

"That's good~ I was worried you'd think I've regressed."

Before Gu Huai could answer, Cai Yan, who had stopped eating, looked over with a smile. "If there's any flaw, it's probably that Miss Lin is too beautiful. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were getting married."

Lin Jiang suddenly realized, "Ah, so that's why Miss Cai didn't become a bridesmaid?"

Cai Yan said casually, "One of the reasons."

Lin Jiang nodded, "Yeah, I thought you thought the bridesmaid dress was hard to wear. It is indeed hard to wear. It's a bit tight, and the waist-to-hip ratio is more obvious. Otherwise, it would look like you have a thick waist and flat hips, which doesn't look good."

Gu Huai looked at Lin Jiang, then at Cai Yan.

Actually, both of them have top-notch figures. Cai Yan is a bit taller, so her frame appears larger than Lin Jiang's, but that's only in comparison to Lin Jiang. Who wouldn't think that she has a perfect figure if they saw her on the street?
Although Lin Jiang is a bit shorter, she has a graceful figure, a more supple posture, and good proportions.

Especially last night, I could tell she was quite well-endowed.
"Snapped."

But then she saw Cai Yan put down her chopsticks.

Gu Huai knew something was terribly wrong.

Are you sure you're not going to resort to violence at their wedding? Why don't you just keep singing and dancing!

"This...that...you guys..."

"What are you doing blocking me? Don't stop me from toasting Miss Lin."

Then I watched helplessly as Cai Yan took a bottle of baijiu that someone else had opened and poured it into a glass.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm a little flattered that Miss Cai is toasting me. I'm young, so how about I toast you instead?"

"It's alright. You're young, but you're very shrewd. I'm ashamed of myself for not being as clever as you."

"Huh? What is Sister Cai saying? I don't understand."

"How about you do me the honor and not drink? You all drank quite a bit yesterday."

Gu Huai tried to mediate.

Both of them looked at themselves at the same time.

Who are you? Do we know each other?

"Brother Gu Huai, don't block me. It's okay if you don't drink, just don't spill the wine on yourself."

I'm fucking afraid of blood splattering on my face!

Cai Yan couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Gu Huai? I haven't heard that kind of address in a long time. Does he still call you that when he's old? That's quite childlike."

Lin Jiang smiled shyly, "I can't help it, I'm used to calling him that. I've always called him that, and every time I call him that, he'll agree to anything I ask."

Don't talk nonsense!

Most things are most things, how can you use the word 'all'!
Seeing that the two had just finished a small cup, they were about to pour another one.

Lulu and Qin Zixiao, who had just changed their clothes, came over with two groomsmen and bridesmaids who seemed to be there to offer toasts at each table.

"Oh, you're already drinking before I even arrived? Your relationship is progressing so quickly."

Lulu said with a smile.

Gu Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes. What kind of look was that? Was this rapid progress? They were about to start fighting!
At this moment, the groom, Qin Zixiao, said with a smile, "By the way, Lin Jiang, a friend of mine has something to tell you."

She then gave a push to a young man who seemed to be a hostess. He didn't look very old, and his hair was neatly combed.

However, when Qin Zixiao made this gesture, Gu Huai noticed that Lulu next to him couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Um, Miss Lin, do you remember me?"

Lin Jiang looked over, her smile unchanged, but she appeared somewhat polite and courteous.

"I remember, you were the best man, we rehearsed together."

The young man gave a somewhat embarrassed smile. Some people at the table had already realized what was about to happen. In this joyous occasion, what they naturally had to do was to cheer and make a fuss.

"Wow~"

"You have good taste, buddy!"

"Just say it! You're driving me crazy! Be brave!"

The young man finally looked up and said, "Excuse me, could I have your WeChat ID so we can get to know each other?"

A chorus of cheers erupted immediately, as if someone else was getting married.

Gu Huai reacted normally to this matter, without any urgency. After all, he understood what kind of woman Lin Jiang was, and he knew that Lin Jiang should make her own choice at this time. She was not his possession, and he shouldn't speak up.

But why is Lulu giving me all these winks?
Hearing these expected words, Lin Jiang's smile remained unchanged, and she did not immediately show any change in expression, maintaining basic politeness.

Then, very subtly, she took a step to the side towards Gu Huai, getting a little closer to him, and then spoke to the man.

"I'm sorry, it might be inconvenient for me to give it to you."

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

Through Lin Jiang's subtle movements, she got closer to the man beside her. The man wasn't oblivious and immediately realized what was going on.

Of course, we shouldn't get too entangled with it.

Just the next moment.

Lin Jiang immediately said, "But this Miss Cai is also very beautiful, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. Do you want her?"

"what?"

The man was stunned and looked at Cai Yan, who was holding a wine glass on the other side.

Cai Yan was also stunned, her eyes widening.

"what?"

Why did this little teacup drag itself into this mess?!
Whether the best man was joking or genuinely captivated by Cai Yan's beauty, he actually glanced at her tentatively.

"Would it be convenient for this beautiful lady to add me on WeChat?"

Cai Yan doesn't have a particularly good temper, and she won't let it go after being 'ambushed' by Lin Jiang like this.

Meanwhile, Gu Huai in the middle felt a sense of danger flashing above his head.

In that instant, he made a precise decision, refusing to be a coward and leave everything to them to handle. It had absolutely nothing to do with Lulu secretly giving him a wink.

Gu Huai reached out and raised his wine glass to the man first.

With Cai Yan looking at him with some confusion and Lin Jiang with no clue what to do, he looked seriously at the best man who was holding a wine glass and whose awkwardness in the scene had turned into something comical.

"Hey bro, want my WeChat?"

The best man was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

"So, we don't need it?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The atmosphere returned to one of joy and harmony, the awkwardness vanished, and even a touch of genuine celebration was added.
