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

Chapter 207 That Rainy Day (Fourth Update!)
School ends at noon.

Cai Yan walked quickly out of the classroom, her movements making it seem as if someone was chasing her, but in fact, no one was.

This made Cai Yan's slight dissatisfaction even more apparent.

Yes, just do nothing and wait.

You think you can just toss me a crumpled piece of paper and tell me to wait for you after school? Who's going to wait for you? Who do you think you are?

Sulking, Cai Yan walked to the stairwell and saw Lulu waiting for her. She immediately took Lulu's arm and led her downstairs.

Watching Cai Yan's actions, Lulu looked at her curiously and asked as she went downstairs.

"That little expression... Are you still angry? He didn't talk to you?"

Cai Yan said irritably, "Who's angry? Does it matter whether he talks to me or not?"

"Of course, you should at least offer some explanation, right? After all, you were having dinner with other girls while keeping you on the hook."

"Who said he was stringing me along? Who he eats with is none of my business. Can you please stop bringing up his affairs in front of me?"

Now it seems she's genuinely a little angry.

Lulu sighed, "Okay, let's not talk about that for now, but the problem is you don't seem to have brought an umbrella."

"what?"

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment. The two of them had already gone downstairs. At the entrance of the teaching building, where people came and went, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, falling on the ground in the large and small potholes.

It shatters into pieces, or splashes up new water droplets.

Lulu showed off the umbrella she was holding.

"My umbrella is so small, are you sure you won't get wet?"

Why didn't you say so earlier!

Cai Yan said in an annoyed tone.

Lulu also felt innocent, "I only just realized that myself. Do you think I'm a god who knows everything?"

"Wait for me, I'll go back and get the umbrella. I forgot to take it from under the table."

"I've taken it for you."

Just as Cai Yan let go of Lulu's arm and turned around to climb the stairs back to the classroom to get her umbrella, a familiar umbrella was extended in front of her.

It was a hand with veins bulging on the back of the hand from gripping the umbrella so tightly.

The skin is very delicate and the complexion is very fair. The key is that the proportions of the fingers and palms are so exquisite that they look like they were sculpted. It's hard not to say that this is a beautiful hand.

But looking up along that hand, I saw that familiar-looking boy, whom I didn't really want to see at the moment.

"Hey, is that Gu Huai?"

Lulu said with a smile.

Seeing that the other person hadn't taken the umbrella from him, Gu Huai, who was holding the umbrella, smiled and explained, "I saw that she was walking in such a hurry that she didn't even take the umbrella, so I helped her take it down. You're welcome."

"Who needs to thank you?"

Cai Yan snapped out of her daze, grabbed the umbrella, and without saying a word to Gu Huai, said to Lulu beside her, "Let's go."

Lulu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that I have to go home for lunch, so I probably can't come with you today."

"what?"

Cai Yan's eyes widened.

Lulu nodded vigorously, then looked at Gu Huai, "In that case, Gu Huai, I'll leave Yan Yan in your care. I'll be going now!"

Lulu opened her umbrella and rushed into the rain.

Gu Huai now understands why the two have remained friends for so many years, and why he even planned to have Cai Yan as his bridesmaid at his wedding.

He is indeed a good person.

Gu Huai looked at Cai Yan, and Cai Yan glanced at Gu Huai.

Her face flushed slightly. "Don't follow me."

Gu Huai didn't try anything funny at this time, or follow the other person shamelessly like a devoted male lead in an idol drama.

He only said, as she was getting ready to open her umbrella, "Want to have dinner together?"

Cai Yan seemed somewhat surprised that the other party would speak so directly.

Doesn't he feel guilty at all?

Then the boy's clear voice was heard, "There might be some misunderstanding. It's not easy to explain in the classroom with so many people around. Would you like to hear what I have to say before deciding on your attitude towards me in the future?"

He's not really an eighteen-year-old boy, so why try to solve problems the way people his age do?
Let's be direct, dignified, and proper.

While providing ample opportunities for escapism, it also tapped into the girl's budding curiosity.

Of course, she wanted to hear the boy's explanation, but being equally inexperienced, she didn't know how or how to listen. The resentment she had been harboring was entirely because this bastard had taken the initiative to kiss her in the movie theater, only to see him having dinner with another pretty girl the next day.

A young girl's mind is sensitive and fragile.

It is easy for imbalance to occur.

Out of resentment, he naturally didn't want to pay attention to the boy, but it wasn't a matter of never seeing each other again or being unable to forgive him for life.

It was clearly a very fragile layer of ice, but she just couldn't find the point to break it, nor did she want to appear too proactive in seeking the opportunity, thus making herself seem cheap and ridiculous.

After all, I didn't do anything wrong.
Gu Huai's current attitude is much more acceptable.

Cai Yan paused for a moment, then looked up at Gu Huai.

"I'll give you a chance to go to a restaurant together. If you can't explain it clearly on the way, then don't say anything."

Her tone was somewhat stiff, as if she wanted to appear more aloof, but the boy holding the umbrella beside her only had a gentle smile.

"it is good."

"Humph."

If you had been this good from the beginning, wouldn't that have been enough? Why did you have to do those childish little things in class?
Sigh, it's because I'm kind-hearted. Where else can I find a girl as beautiful, gentle, and understanding as myself?
On the road.

The gloomy sky continued to weep, tirelessly shedding its tears for this small city.

Roads that appear smooth normally only reveal their flaws in this kind of weather. Potholes and puddles accumulate, and a careless step could soak your entire trouser leg or even your shoes.

But occasionally, rainbows appear in these small places after the rain.

It's not just hanging in the sky.

Gu Huai walked beside the girl and spoke softly.

Actually, nothing particularly special was said. Even without that memory, he could probably guess what might have happened.

Cai Yan, who had just been kissed by Lin Jiang in the movie theater, was simply confused because she saw herself having dinner with Lin Jiang.

So that's all he had to explain. He started by talking about the time he and Lin Jiang reunited on the playground, then talked about Lin Jiang's family, her parents, the tutoring, and finally the events of that day.

That is, he watched the other person's game, and then they came back together, which led to her seeing them having dinner together.

Actually, nothing particularly special happened. At least during this period, Gu Huai had a clear conscience. As for what happened later... well, we'll talk about that later.

It's not something that should be explained now.

Although she knew Gu Huai's explanation was definitely subjective and might be embellished, it was very logical and didn't seem to have many flaws. Besides, there really hadn't been any ambiguous contact yet, so she could still accept his explanation.

Of course, you can't act like you're easy to coax.

She glared at Gu Huai. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you have to wait until now?"

Gu Huai blinked. "I didn't expect you to care about this so much. You didn't even tell me directly."

"Pah, who cares about your business? Don't you know what you did the night before that?"

"I know, I know, but..."

"Shut up, don't mention that day again!"

Didn't you bring it up first?

Well, that's just how girls are. She can bring up the past, but you can't bring it up yourself.

What privileged class?
However, he seemed to be alright, although he was still quite aggressive in his speech, his attitude was clearly different from before. The two of them arrived at the entrance of a small restaurant.

Gu Huai thought for a moment and then said.

"Are we still eating?"

Cai Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Are you trying to starve to death by not eating?"

"Understood, then I won't eat it."

"I'll kick you to death!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

I entered the restaurant and found a seat.

There were some students from the same school inside, but I didn't seem to recognize any of them.

They were all students, unlike adults who had entered society, who felt they had to put on a show when eating with girls, ordering a wide variety of dishes. It was okay if they couldn't finish, but they absolutely couldn't not eat enough, and they absolutely couldn't appear stingy.

I simply ordered two set meals.

During this time, Cai Yan looked up at the other person.

"But why does she insist that you go to watch her competition?"

Gu Huai thought for a moment and said, "She said she might not be so nervous if I went, since she didn't do well last time and her mother was worried. So I went to watch, and she actually did very well and made it to the finals."

"Tsk, so many tricks."

"what?"

"It's okay, but don't you think there might be something wrong with this?"

Gu Huai looked at her strangely, "What's the problem?"

This idiot!

Cai Yan pressed her temples. "Never mind, forget I said anything."

Gu Huai looked at the other person with amusement, "So that's why you deliberately ignored me today?"

"Hmph, you're overthinking it. I just happen to be in a bad mood."

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

Cai Yan blushed slightly and glared at him, "Girls have a few days each month when they're in a bad mood, why are you asking that?"

"Oh~ I thought it was because of..."

"Don't flatter yourself. You think you can affect my mood? I didn't hold it against you for what happened that night because I'm generous and good-tempered, but that doesn't mean I know anything else, okay?"

"understand."

"Stop being perfunctory, be serious!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

"Humph."

She seems to enjoy this title, but does she really understand the meaning behind the word "Queen"?

Suddenly, an image of Cai Yan appeared in my mind: wearing a leather jacket, high heels, and holding a leather whip.
That's a bit perverted.

"I'm done eating."

There wasn't much conversation during the meal.

Most of the explanations that needed to be given had already been covered. The rest of the conversation consisted of some trivial chats about the daily life of youth.

The girl, who is currently living in her youth, seems to find every day interesting. I also heard a lot of gossip from Lulu.

As the two got up to leave, Cai Yan was still talking.

"You know Zhang Ying, right?"

Gu Huai looked over, but what he saw made his gaze focus on Cai Yan's face.

The girl seemed unaware and continued talking to herself.

"It's that Su Yiming's ex-girlfriend. We were only together for a few days. Lulu said she's in the same class as her now, and she's always talking bad about me. It's infuriating! Are you even listening to me? What are you looking at?"

Cai Yan's voice gradually softened, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush.

She noticed that Gu Huai was staring at her. At first, she thought it was just an unconscious action while listening to her speak, but later she realized something was wrong.

His gaze was so focused and intense, it even seemed a little ambiguous, making her feel nervous and shy.

Gu Huai did not answer directly, but instead extended his hand.

Cai Yan instinctively tried to dodge, but heard Gu Huai say in a low voice, "Don't move."

She didn't know why, but she instinctively stopped at the door.

Then she watched as Gu Huai reached out towards her face.

She felt a strange sense of panic. Wait, isn't this the school gate?
There are even students from the school eating here.
They just made up, it's too...
I haven't said I've completely forgiven you yet!

But when Gu Huai reached out his hand, she felt like she couldn't help but close her eyes, only to find that it was just his fingertips that lightly touched her cheek.

Then, in his own eyes, he picked up a grain of rice.

Cai Yan immediately understood everything, and an indescribable sense of shame overwhelmed her.

She was trying to explain that it was just an occasional careless mistake.

"I"

But then she saw the boy in front of her take the grain of rice that had been plucked from her face and instinctively put it into his mouth.

Cai Yan: ? ? ?
Gu Huai only realized what was happening after he finished making the move, and stood there frozen in place.

What the hell am I doing?!

"Wow."

The curtain next to them was lifted, and just then, some people came out after finishing their meal. They were making faint laughter as they walked out.

"If you're still not full, just order another one."

"It's true that we've run into a seasoned foodie."

"."

The man and woman standing at the doorway were now at a loss for words, unable to say who was more embarrassed, as the rain was falling unusually loudly today.
