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

Chapter 198 Exhausted from Operation (Third Update)

"Not replying to messages, huh?"

"I was sleeping just now, I'm sorry I didn't see it."

"Bullshit! It's only nine o'clock and you're already sleeping? You clearly just don't want to reply to my messages!"

Gu Huai really had a headache dealing with this kind of person who was average at texting but particularly loved making phone calls.

I'm so annoying.

What kind of nonsense is this? He kept calling until the bed started shaking, and Gu Huai almost thought he had bought a massage waterbed.

Gu Huai was so annoyed that he wanted to block and delete the person, but he couldn't help it. What's meant to be will be, and the person had helped him a lot, so he couldn't be so ungrateful.

I could only pretend I had just woken up to answer the phone.

"No, really. I'm just exhausted these past few days. You have no idea how tired I am."

Xu Wenxi on the other end sneered.

"Are you the only one in the world who's tired? I think you're just faking it. Are you trying to break the contract?"

Gu Huai feigned shock.

"Where did you get this idea? We didn't agree to anything, so how can you say we broke the agreement?"

"Bullshit! You promised to go out with me tomorrow!"

"I remember my exact words at the time were, 'It's probably possible, but there's always a small probability.'"

"Then you wait until Monday when I'll randomly pick a kid and have them run to your company crying and saying you abandoned your wife and children."

"Surely not? It would be a huge loss for a big internet celebrity like you to die with me."

"It's fine, it's all the same whether I die sooner or later, and I'll just take one with me, so it's not a loss."

"You're such a big internet celebrity, you don't lack company, why do you need to ask me for anything?"

Gu Huai asked helplessly.

Thinking back to the last time a few of us went hiking on Yuehe Mountain, quite a few things happened, but those memories aren't as vivid now. However, the memory of chatting with her late at night and her falling asleep next to me is still vivid.

The memory of carrying her to the top of the mountain is still very vivid.

After all, those events symbolize part of one's own transformation, representing moments of significant psychological breakthroughs and changes, which are very meaningful to oneself.

"You didn't think I just called you, did you?"

"Since it's not just me being called, the absence of one of me won't make a difference, right?"

"I called Xu Cheng and Xiao Zhou."

"What, are they involved too?"

Gu Huaiqi found it strange. It wasn't that he was disappointed because it wasn't a date between the two of them, but the combination seemed familiar. However, he felt much more relaxed with Xu Cheng there.

"I have something to tell you that you probably don't know."

Suddenly, Xu Wenxi said mysteriously.

"Just say what you mean."

Do you remember that mountain climb?

"I remember, it hasn't been that long."

"After that mountain climbing trip, Xu Cheng asked me for Xiao Zhou's WeChat, but I didn't tell you at the time."

It wasn't something I needed to specifically tell myself; after all, it's quite normal for this to happen to Xu Cheng. Xiao Zhou is pretty good-looking; after all, she's an internet celebrity, and appearance is a basic requirement.

Xu Cheng isn't like me; if he thinks it's possible, he'll genuinely give it a try. Of course, how sincere he is is another matter, considering he hasn't publicly acknowledged having many girlfriends.

The classic quote is: "Does sleeping together make someone your girlfriend? Does holding hands and kissing establish a relationship? This is an era of living for the moment and mutual consent, Gu Huai."

"Really? That's normal, but doesn't it feel a bit like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"

Gu Huai was subtly reminding the other party that sending WeChat messages was fine, but she shouldn't act as a matchmaker. From a romantic perspective, Xu Cheng wasn't exactly someone to be trusted. It wasn't that he wanted to betray his brother, but if something really happened and things got out of control, it would be too awkward for him to see Xu Wenxi and Xiao Zhou again in the future.

Xu Wenxi smiled indifferently, "Do you think Xiaozhou is easy to deal with? Of course I know what kind of person Xu Cheng is, but the reason I'm willing to recommend this WeChat account to him is because Xiaozhou is quite experienced."

Ok?
A worthy opponent, a match made in heaven?
A magical matchmaking mechanism for Earth Online.

Xu Wenxi continued, "That's perfect! A few days ago I saw Xiaozhou chatting with Xu Cheng. Wow, their chat history was so long, I bet we could chat for two lifetimes and still not have as much as they did."

Gu Huai said with amusement, "You can criticize them, but why are you mixing in your own opinions?"

"Nonsense! It's your fault for not replying to my messages. You're really going too far, you know that!"

Why are you getting angrier and angrier as you talk, even getting yourself worked up?

Gu Huai quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean not to reply. It's just that you always send messages at the right time, either I'm busy or I'm going to bed early."

"It would be best if it were such a coincidence."

Weren't we just talking about the two of them?

"Oh right, and then I found out, so I asked Xiaozhou, 'You two are chatting so enthusiastically, is something really going on?' Xiaozhou actually told me that Xu Cheng is a pretty interesting person, and even asked me if I wanted to invite Xu Cheng to go out with me tomorrow."

"Oh, so that's why you called me?"

"Bullshit, it just happened to coincide. I figured since she said that, I might as well go with them and see what kind of trouble they're up to."

"Then this glorious task is entrusted to you. I'll wait at home for your good news."

"I'm really going to kill you, you promised me, sob sob sob."

I also feel aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, but what about tomorrow?"

"So isn't this a discussion with you?"

"You've come to the right person to discuss this with."

"What? You've got some ideas?"

"I wanted to tell you that in all these years I've lived in the provincial capital, I can count the number of times I've gone out to play on one hand. You're asking me, right?"

"How come you're even more of a homebody than me? What if you died at home? I doubt anyone would even notice."

"What are we going to do? It'll just stink. Can't you say something auspicious?"

"I'm telling you, I'm thinking of going out for some noodles tomorrow morning."

"Leave in the morning? You go to work right here in the morning, do you? I leave in the morning on Saturday?"

Xu Wenxi on the other end said irritably, "What's wrong with coming out in the morning? We usually sleep until noon. Don't we feel very alive and healthy when we come out in the morning?"

"That's you guys. I usually go to work, and I get up early in the morning. What's the difference between leaving in the morning and going to work normally?" "Then lunch and dinner time is too short. Besides, there's a noodle shop that many people have recommended to me, and I've been wanting to go for a while, and film a vlog while I'm there."

Still making vlogs?

Gu Huai asked worriedly, "Won't they film me?"

"Are you some big star? What's the point of including you in the photos?"

"That seems true. But do you eat noodles all morning?"

"Then let's go to Magic Park. I haven't been there yet since we came to the provincial capital!"

Magical Paradise is the only amusement park in the provincial capital; it has no branches in other cities.

Unlike most amusement parks, besides being huge in scale and having complete facilities, it is said that the snacks inside are also quite good, and the prices are not as expensive as other amusement parks, so it is quite popular and has a good reputation.

"I'm not that old, why would someone like me go to an amusement park? It's like a school field trip back in school."

"You don't know anything. The older you get, the more you need to do something energetic to keep your mindset young, you know? Otherwise you'll be lifeless."

"Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."

Gu Huai had no choice.

After all, I made a promise to them beforehand, so I can't really go back on my word.

A group of adults nearing thirty years old made a weekend plan to have noodles for breakfast and then go to an amusement park.

It's a bit like I've become younger.

"Hmph, so perfunctory, you don't want to say it directly."

"Can I not go just because I said so?"

"That won't work."

"Then what am I supposed to do? Alright, since we're leaving so early, I'll rest first."

"Let's chat a little longer! Oh, by the way, I still have some tips I didn't share with you last time."

"No need, what you taught me last time was enough, I still need to digest it."

"Wait a minute!"

Goodnight, Sister Xu.

"what"

Before hearing the furious shouts from the other end, Gu Huai hung up the phone.

I don't know why, but whenever I think about what plans I have for tomorrow, I suddenly feel very tired all over.

Never mind, I'll just go to sleep.

Gu Huai had planned to do this, but the next moment his phone vibrated.

I initially thought it was Xu Wenxi who was still angry and wanted to fight again, but it turned out to be Xu Cheng.

He frowned.

"Hey?"

"Hey Gu Huai, got some time tomorrow? I've got some work for you."

"Xu Wenxi has already told me."

"Huh? So fast? Damn it, I was here first!!"

What's wrong with you?
"Are you sure you want to go tomorrow?" Gu Huai asked.

"Yeah, I can't help it, I'm worried about leaving you alone. You're socially awkward, a homebody, not good at dealing with girls, not good at dating, what would I do if I wasn't there for you?"

"Bullshit! Weren't you after that little boat?"

"You even told me this?!"

The other person seemed quite surprised.

Gu Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes repeatedly, though the other person couldn't see it. He was now a member of the Hyuga clan himself.

"Nonsense, what are you planning to do to harm someone again?"

"How can you call me a menace? I'm your brother! Is that how you see me? Don't you know me at all?!"

"I know you too well, sometimes I don't even want to know you this well."

Gu Huai sighed.

Xu Cheng's voice on the other end lowered.

"Believe it or not, I'm serious this time. Xiao Zhou is really great, I swear."

"If oaths come true, you should be struck by lightning more than 300 times and hit by a car more than 500 times when you go out."

"Is it really necessary to remember it so clearly?"

"Just a casual remark, a writer's unique exaggeration."

"Since you already know, then see you tomorrow. I'm just letting you know in advance."

"what?"

"I may not be able to be your wingman this time. I'm sorry, pilot Xu Cheng. This time you will be leaving the fighter group and carrying out the mission alone. Take care!"

"You're crazy. I never asked you to be my wingman. Mind your own business. Just don't end up making it so that we can't even see each other anymore."

"Don't worry, I, Xu Cheng, will remain a respectable man until the day I die."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll have this sentence engraved on your tombstone when you die."

Finally, no one called anymore.

Gu Huai never imagined that making a phone call could be so exhausting.

He practically collapsed onto the bed, arms outstretched.

He lay sprawled out, as if welcoming a sharp sword falling from the ceiling and piercing his chest.

From Lulu's marriage to Xu Cheng's mess, Gu Huai suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable panic.

Everyone around me is finding their own way to happiness, so will I be the one left behind in the end?

"Ugh, I'm so tired."
