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

Chapter 226 Annoying Penny! (Third Update!)

Each work group in the company is equipped with a water dispenser, but the water buckets are often just delivered to the front desk at the elevator entrance as a perfunctory gesture, and are rarely delivered to each work group.

This requires the male comrades in each work group to take the initiative and bring over the water bucket belonging to their own workspace.

I'm shivering with anger and cold. Why is it always men? Are they questioning women's powerlessness?

Women are carrying things too! One bucket in each hand!
However, despite this thought, the fact is that Gu Huai himself often had to do such things. Old Lin moved less, and there was a young man in the second group who took on most of the work.

As for the other women? Including Sister Guo, they would all mutter, "Why is there no water again?" whenever they noticed the water was out.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was imitating Sauce Explosion.

It was also common for the men in the group to pretend to be dead, so the female colleagues had to go to other work groups to get a glass of water. After all, it was all paid for by the company, and although they felt a bit uncomfortable about being NTR'd in front of everyone, there was nothing they could say.

This is probably just for fun.

Gu Huai walked over, and as he approached, the unfamiliar woman noticed his approach.

She straightened up and took a step back.

"clatter."

Her high heels lightly stomped on the floor.

Gu Huai caught a faint, woody scent. Holy crap, that tall? At least 1.75 meters, right?

I used my peripheral vision to make a judgment.

Then, he deftly put the empty bucket down and easily replaced it with the new one.

This wouldn't have been a problem before, and with the current numbers, it seems even easier. Gu Huai even feels that he can use this to do bicep curls in the office when he has nothing to do, and he can do one in each hand without any problem.

"All right."

"Thank you."

The woman's voice was very beautiful, with a very textured quality, like the kind of voice you hear when someone is reciting lines in a TV drama.

Therefore, Gu Huai glanced at the other person again.

You know what, she looks strangely beautiful from a distance, but even more beautiful up close.

However, her demeanor was a bit strange. She had no expression, and her eyes seemed excessively indifferent. She appeared cold, but it wasn't the kind of gaze that showed disregard for others. Rather, it was more like a calm indifference that nothing could stir up any ripples in her eyes.

It's as if she lacks emotion, fundamentally different from Cai Yan's cold and aloof demeanor.

Besides, Yanbao isn't really indifferent; she's incredibly passionate when she kisses.

But that was all he got to see her. Gu Huai didn't stay to watch her get water; he didn't even look at her while she was filling the tub! He wasn't a pervert.

Besides, one should be content with what one has and not think that good looks will make one a queen in the harem. In another sense, beautiful women are a huge problem; there are already enough troubles around us, and we can't possibly enjoy any more.

So Gu Huai simply left the work group and headed to the elevator to eat in the cafeteria.

But then I watched the elevator doors close.

He still subconsciously has curious thoughts.

Which group is she in? I've never seen such a beautiful female colleague before.
It's not that there aren't beautiful women in the company. After all, it's a cosmetics company, so there are naturally a lot of women. With such a large base, of course there are some beautiful ones. Moreover, in a new first-tier city like the provincial capital, there are quite a few beautiful young women, and the charming old A8 is no less attractive. It should be quite common.

However, Gu Huai was certain that there were no more than five women this beautiful.

And I have absolutely no recollection of it.

This seems a bit strange.

However, this slight curiosity was quickly overshadowed by the aroma of the cafeteria food.

Is there any comparison between a beautiful woman and delicious food? A beautiful woman may indeed be fragrant and tender, but most of the time she has nothing to do with you and you can't eat her.

But the meals are served in pretty buns.

It seems the increase in his stats isn't just exaggerated in terms of desires; his appetite is also astonishingly good. Gu Huai used to be tall, but a bit thin, and didn't have much of an appetite. At 1.8 meters tall, he ate as much as someone 1.6 meters tall, or even less, often finishing just one bowl of rice.

Now he feels like he can eat three pigs in one bite, no, three bites make a whole pig. Damn, the cafeteria lady's cooking is so good, it's making the kids dizzy with the aroma.

Thinking back now, what kind of food did we eat in high school? Even stray dogs on the street would shake their heads at the smell, but high school students would run to the cafeteria.

Gu Huai was eating so deliciously that his colleagues at different tables nearby wondered if they were eating the same thing as him. Had he not eaten for days?

Old Lin sat down with a grin, carrying his plate.

"So hungry? Are you growing lately?"

Gu Huai rolled his eyes. "I'm still going to grow, huh? If I grow another two meters, I'll be going to save the national basketball team."

How tall is considered tall? Of course, you can never have too high a salary.

Old Lin laughed heartily, then quickly leaned closer with a sly grin, "Having spent the whole morning breathing in the same office fragrance as Team Leader Cai, wasn't that great?"

Gu Huai looked at Lao Lin suspiciously, "You didn't spend the whole morning imagining these strange things, did you?"

"How could that be? I already have a child!"

"That's right. When you reach middle age and your wife is all talk and no action, all you can do is fantasize."

"Pah!" Old Lin's face turned red. "Bullshit! Do you even know what it means to be vigorous in your old age!"

The louder the voice, the more insecure one feels.

Men over 25, it's true, they get worse year by year. Every day after get off work, I spend half an hour or an hour in the car, smoking a few cigarettes. Then I go home and pretend to be exhausted, so my wife will nag me less. If the kids are well-behaved and go to bed early, I have to be careful; I have to pretend to be very tired before going to sleep, and I can't face my wife's resentful eyes. Even when I'm sleeping and holding her, I have to curl up my butt so as not to give a hint.

Ugh.

This Gou Ba Gu Huai is only a few years younger than me, how come he's getting more and more energetic? You might as well go and dye your hair blonde!

Looking at Gu Huai, who seemed to grow younger with age, Old Lin saw a reflection of his own past self, full of youthful vigor and capable of even wearing out the bed.

The two joked around in the cafeteria for a while. After Gu Huai finished eating, he and Lao Lin put their trays in the storage area. He turned around to tell Lao Lin that he was going to get some to go, but when he turned around, he happened to see a window.

That's the pretty woman I bumped into by the water dispenser earlier.

She sat quietly by the window, bathed in the sunlight streaming through, a soft, warm golden glow, as if bathed in the afterglow of a god.

The woman, who was already beautiful, now looks even more dreamlike.

"Hmm? Aren't you leaving?"

Old Lin asked curiously.

Gu Huai opened his mouth, wanting to ask Lao Lin if he knew the other person, but then thought better of it. Although he'd been a bit out of line lately, his sensitive nature hadn't changed. Asking Lao Lin would probably just lead to some teasing, given Lao Lin's personality; there was no need for that.

So what if I know who it is? So what if I don't? They're just colleagues at the same company; nothing more. We probably won't have much contact in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Huai smiled at Lao Lin.

"You go first, I need to get some packed."

"Hmm?" Old Lin scrutinized Gu Huai for a moment. "Goodness. You two have become so close that you're even bringing her lunch?"

"Is this considered intimate behavior? Don't talk nonsense, you old man."

Hearing Gu Huai's vehement denial, Old Lin sneered, "Don't admit it. When the child is born, just say it's not yours."

"roll!"

Top-tier curse.

Anyone who can resist the urge to curse is a genius.

Old Lin left leisurely. He wasn't in a hurry to return to Group Two; after all, smoking wouldn't be allowed inside. He preferred to wander around, chat with acquaintances, and have a few puffs of a cigarette. Two hours for lunch break—wouldn't it be stupid to stay in the studio during that time?

Gu Huai quickly packed up the food.

He didn't know much about her tastes, and it seemed that Cai Yan hadn't told him what she particularly liked to eat, so Gu Huai ordered a braised fish, stir-fried cauliflower with pork, and stir-fried bok choy.

If you say "whatever," then we'll go with my taste. At least if you don't eat it, I won't let it go to waste.

Humming a leisurely tune, I returned to Group Two.

When I entered the office, Cai Yan seemed to have already finished her work and was leisurely scrolling through her phone while leaning back in her chair, scrolling through messages one by one with the sound on, and occasionally laughing.

Upon hearing Gu Huai enter the room, she immediately dropped her smile and became serious.

Gu Huai looked at her suspiciously, then said, "I went to all the trouble of bringing you food, and you just sit here watching videos? How can you do this to me?"

Cai Yan looked up at Gu Huai with a righteous indignation, "Why should I be worthy of your mother?"

"Phonetic puns are the lowest level of puns."

"That's still not as lowly as you. Give me the food, I'm hungry."

"Wait, I'll go to the restroom to get it now."

"Can you say that again?"

Gu Huai obediently and respectfully placed the packed food on the edge of her desk.

"Please have some, Your Majesty!"

"Xiao Huaizi, you may step down."

Cai Yan waved her hand.

Gu Huai gritted his teeth. They're actually enjoying this? Damn it, how can there be two abstract people in one office? Wait, I'm going out right now to come up with a solution!

Watching Gu Huai leave the office with his phone.

Cai Yan then smiled with satisfaction.

The aroma wafted out as I opened the food container, and I took a look at the dishes inside.

She gave a light snort, "You're quite good at ordering food."

I took a couple of bites, and it tasted pretty good.

Turning my head, I saw that empty, yet extra, workstation.

The two of them will be spending a lot of time in the same office from now on.
Thinking of this, she slowly felt a warmth on her face.

Ugh, he's driving me crazy with all that noise.

Annoying person.
