Chapter 204 Launch (First Update!)

We spent the afternoon together and had dinner.

Xu Cheng and Xiao Zhou were still a little reluctant to leave, discussing whether to book a booth at a bar that night, while Gu Huai announced that he was going home.

There's simply no time or energy left to wander around outside.

After all, there's a crucial simulation waiting for me tonight. And once the simulation prediction is started, every simulation is highly cost-effective, so there's no reason to miss it.

When Xu Wenxi heard that Gu Huai wanted to go back, she immediately agreed.

"I haven't posted today's video yet, I need to go back and edit the vlog."

"Oh? Then it'll be just the two of us."

Xiao Zhou seemed quite disappointed.

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, if they don't want to go, they don't have to go. Gu Huai really doesn't like going to bars. I'll invite some other people."

Xiao Zhou nodded, "Okay, I can call a few too."

"Isn't that just a coincidence?"

That's quite a coincidence.

Gu Huai and Xu Wenxi exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing similar emotions in each other's eyes.

Birds of a feather flock together.

"Then be careful on your way back, and let's meet again next time."

"Row."

After leaving the hotel, we went in opposite directions.

Gu Huai naturally had to observe some basic gentlemanly rules. He would see Xu Wenxi off for a while and at least watch her get into the car.

However, since we had just finished eating, this walk didn't seem too troublesome; we just treated it as a stroll to digest our food.

On the way, Xu Wenxi looked at Gu Huai curiously, "Xu Cheng just said you don't like going to bars, is that true? I thought you liked drinking quite a bit."

"Where did you see that? Drinking is alright, but I usually either go alone or with Xu Cheng to quiet bars or whiskey bars. I rarely go to the kind of clubbing places they go to. There's no other reason, and it's not out of contempt. I just think it's too noisy. The speakers are so loud that I feel like I'm going to get tinnitus right away."

"Hahaha, just like I thought. And the games they play in the bar are so outrageous."

"Do you mean any game can escalate to kissing?"

"You're crazy~" Xu Wenxi slapped Gu Huai and couldn't help but laugh, "They play finger-catching and rock-paper-scissors, it's so weird. I'm curious how their bodies can be twisted like that, all fancy and awkward to watch. How do they manage to hold back their laughter and still make all sorts of funny gestures?"

Although Gu Huai rarely goes to nightclubs and hasn't witnessed such scenes in person many times, he has seen them quite a few while watching videos.

Some people said they never expected it to be a game of rock-paper-scissors. Damn it, I thought those twisting limbs and hands reaching out from all angles were meant to stab the other person in a weak spot.

"I don't know, maybe it's because once you drink enough, it doesn't seem funny anymore?"

"It's a lie. Those who play the most crazy games are basically just using someone else's credit card; they can't even afford the alcohol."

"I've noticed you have a sharp tongue."

"I'm just a little bit worse than you~"

Xu Wenxi's steps were light and relaxed, like a child's. The cold winter wind blew, ruffling her fiery red hair. Her light steps seemed as if she was about to leap up at any moment.

Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh.

Wow, that's really strong.

"By the way, won't you be bored at home if you're not going?"

Xu Wenxi blinked and asked.

Gu Huai looked at her strangely, "Why would you be bored? Some people always think that time spent alone is just empty time, as if this time is a complete waste of life."

"Is not it?"

"How could that be? Whether I'm lying in bed watching videos, movies, or even playing games, it's all very comfortable. In fact, most of the time, being alone is much more comfortable than being with a lot of people."

"You really are an even bigger homebody than me."

"I was forced to stay at home because I didn't have many friends, so I made the best of a bad situation. You're different from me."

"How are we different? You can't assume we're from different worlds just because I'm pretty."

"I didn't compliment you on your looks."

Gu Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Xu Wenxi, however, proudly shook her hair.

"Am I not beautiful?"

"No matter how beautiful you are, there's no need to constantly emphasize it, as if you're being insecure."

"Why would I feel guilty? I've been beautiful since I was a child!"

"Hahahaha, are you out of your mind?"

Why are you getting so smug? Are you never going to stop? But you are indeed cute.

How should I put it? It's as if today's visit directly lifted the seal on this woman.

When Gu Huai was in college, he thought Xu Wenxi was a very aggressive and beautiful girl. It wasn't that her beauty would offend anyone, but she gave people the feeling that you shouldn't approach her easily, otherwise you might get hurt badly. She gave people the feeling that she was not easy to approach.

But after spending time with her a few times, I discovered that she was even more naive than most girls in some ways.

I didn't see any ill intentions, and he wasn't very aggressive. He just liked to put on airs, and he even seemed more fragile than Cai Yan.

"Hmph, alright, the taxi's here, I'm going home."

Seeing the taxi approaching, Xu Wenxi reached out and flagged it down.

Gu Huai looked at her and said, "Why don't I sit down first?"

"Are you even human? Haven't you heard of 'ladies first'?"

"What? This is an era of gender equality, let me sit down first!"

"Fuck off!"

Xu Wenxi kicked out, but Gu Huai easily dodged it. It was just a joke; of course, he wouldn't actually try to snatch it.

Xu Wenxi naturally knew about this matter, but didn't argue with Gu Huai.

She looked at Gu Huai and said, "I'm leaving now. Be careful on your way home."

"Know it."

"Text me when you get home."

"Why would I give this to you if you're not the homeroom teacher?"

Xu Wenxi's cheeks flushed slightly. "Just send it! Otherwise, I'll bombard you with phone calls!"

"Alright, alright, I've issued it for you, right?" "Hmph, I'm leaving."

Xu Wenxi got into the car.

The dazzling red hair disappeared into the distance, replaced by the approaching darkness of night.

Gu Huai didn't linger on the street for long. After all, it was a fulfilling Saturday for him, and there was something more important waiting for him at home.

Once in the car, Gu Huai remembered something and picked up his phone to send a message to Xu Wenxi.

I'm home.

Xi: [? ? ?]

Xi: [Are you sick?]

Gu Huai: [Didn't you tell me to send this?]

Xi: [Are you kidding me? I've only been gone five minutes! You're already home? Did you fly back?]

Gu Huai: [Actually, there's a secret I've been keeping from you.]

Xi: [What?]

Gu Huai: [I'm not an ordinary person; I have superpowers.]

Xi: [You really like me?]

Gu Huai: [.]

How can someone be so narcissistic?

Gu Huai: [Forget it, I was going to say I'm a superman, but you're too narcissistic.]

Xi: [Is Superman considered a superpower? Everyone has one, right?]

Gu Huai: [Which "Chao" are you referring to?]

How can this person be so narcissistic and vulgar!

Xi: [Hahahaha.]

Still laughing!

Gu Huai: [I'm going to post our chat history in your comments section to expose you as a pervert.]

Xi: [Please, that would just make me look super charming, okay?]

Gu Huai: [Why?]

Xi: [The contrast, isn't that what you men like? Anyway, most of my video followers are male, so posting this probably won't have much of an impact. At most, it'll just mean more people will harass me.]

Gu Huai: [Then forget it, there's no sense of accomplishment in that.]

Xi: [Are you really planning to ruin me?]

Gu Huai: [How could that be? We're old classmates. At most, I'll just ruin your reputation.]

Xi: [Get lost!]

They chatted a bit more on the way because they were bored, and soon, as night fell completely, Gu Huai got out of the car at the residential area.

This time, I didn't see anyone playing basketball on the court; instead, I saw aunties and grandmas doing square dancing.

The lead dancer was an old man wearing thermal underwear with thinning hair.

Why is the old man dancing instead of spinning a top?

Once home, having already taken a bath, there was no need to take another one.

Because I had so much free time, I actually had the mood to tidy up the whole house. I put some clothes that I had left at the foot of the bed because I was tired into the washing machine, and I put some clean clothes that I had left on the back of the chair into the closet.

I then realized that I really had very few clothes and pants.

Basically, there are two or three sets for hot weather and two or three sets for cold weather. There is no distinction between seasons. The key is to have enough for the needs.

Just as I was hesitating about whether I should buy something since I had some spare cash, someone sent me a message on my phone.

It was Cai Yan.

Do you have time tomorrow?

The news was quite straightforward.

Isn't tomorrow Sunday? This woman rarely seems to have time to contact me on weekends, which is quite surprising.

Gu Huai: [Tell me what it is first, then I'll see if I have time.]

Cai Yan: [That means you have time. Come out early tomorrow to practice driving with me; I have my driving test (Part 2) coming up.]

Gu Huai: [What?! Go to driving school and practice, why do you need me to practice with you?]

Cai Yan: [You promised me last time, do you men forget your promises so easily?]

Gu Huai thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had mentioned it briefly during their last chat. But when had he made that promise?
Gu Huai: [I don't think I made a firm commitment to this, did I?]

Cai Yan quickly replied: "So you didn't firmly refuse this matter either. A half-hearted refusal doesn't mean you firmly don't refuse. Early tomorrow."

Gu Huai: [Isn't this a bit unreasonable?]

Cai Yan: [Then wait for me to drive the car to your house.]

Gu Huai thought to himself, "Do you even know where I live? Why don't you just come to my place?" But after thinking about it, he still replied to the other party.

Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Cai Yan: [What do you mean, "we'll talk about it tomorrow"? It's like you have something else to do. This is a direct order.]

Gu Huai: [Yes, sir.]

Then the other party stopped replying.

He's a very dashing person.

Gu Huai looked at his phone and sighed inexplicably. He was the kind of person who disliked planning his trip in advance the most, as it always brought him inexplicable anxiety.

Now, these things are happening more and more frequently.

Is this also a price to pay for changing oneself? How despicable.

I wasn't really in the mood to go shopping anymore, so when it was almost time, I simply packed everything up and lay down on the bed to put on my helmet.

The familiar screen loads.

White light emerged.

[Original God, activate! 】
