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

Chapter 231 I'll Pamper My Own Team Leader! (Fourth Update!)
"Phew. My shoulders are sore."

Leaving the restaurant with Cai Yan, who had gotten up, Gu Huai stretched his shoulders and neck as they walked on the streets late at night.

Actually, I don't feel any soreness at all. I have the physical condition of an 18-year-old right now. I don't even need to wait overnight for minor discomforts. A little activity is enough to make them go away.

As for what it feels like to have the physique of an 18-year-old, well, you'll understand when you reach my age.

Cai Yan, who had become much more sober, still kept her head slightly lowered.

Although she and Gu Huai were already quite 'close'.

However, it's still a little bothersome and embarrassing for something like this to happen when you're drunk.

It's strange. I would never have drunk like this before. Although I have had some drinking parties after I became an adult, Cai Yan is a girl who knows how to protect herself, so she would never drink too much and would not accept being urged or forced to drink. If you dare to do that, she would turn on you.

Admittedly, the atmosphere around Gu Huai is making her more and more relaxed, and that strong sense of security allows her to forget some of her usual defenses. But surely it's not to the point of blanking out?
I always feel like I've lost a piece of memory; the memory between when I became aware of it and when I fell asleep is blank.

Where did this time thief come from!

The worst part is this feeling of guilt, not knowing if I've done anything even more shameful during this time.

Gu Huai, standing next to her, kept chuckling to himself, though she didn't know what he was laughing at. The more relaxed and happy he seemed, the more Cai Yan felt that he had some kind of leverage over her.

Damn it, stop laughing!
Left with no other option, she had to ask directly.

"correct."

Are you going to ask if you did anything else while you were drunk?

Suddenly, Gu Huai turned his head and said the question she wanted to ask.

Cai Yan was stunned, caught off guard. What was this person saying about my lyrics?

"Is there?"

"Some team leaders are guaranteed to have them."

Seeing his slightly smug smile, Cai Yan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

She felt a slight numbness in her hands and feet.

Oh no, is my carefully cultivated public image, built up over a lifetime, going to be ruined by a single drinking session?

Why don't you ask if these things are shameful?

Gu Huai asked again.

These words rekindled Cai Yan's hope.

Isn't that incredibly embarrassing? Does being drunk make you seem so well-behaved?
"Isn't it shameful?"

She asked with hopeful eyes.

Gu Huai grinned, revealing his teeth in the street.

"That's embarrassing."

"???"

Cai Yan's eyes widened, her pretty face turning bright red.

"Nonsense! Don't try to scare me. I wouldn't do anything shameful. I just drank a little too much, I'm not the kind of person who goes crazy when drunk!"

Gu Huai smiled slightly, without offering any further rebuttal, and simply said something understated.

"I recorded it, do you want to see it?"

"."

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, felt as if it had died instantly.

I couldn't even walk anymore, so I stood blankly on the sidewalk, bewildered in the wind.

Cai Yan herself, acting crazy while drunk, and was even recorded on video?

What's the difference between that and being dead? The road is so clean, I really want to lie down on it and take a nap.

At this moment, Cai Yan, who seemed utterly despondent, actually had a pitiful look about her.

Gu Huai couldn't bear to tease the other party for too long, and quickly smiled and said.

"I was just joking with you, and you actually took it seriously. Even if you really went a little crazy, it wouldn't be this bad, would it?"

Cai Yan snapped out of her daze and looked at Gu Huai, "Which part was a joke?"

"The recording was a joke; I didn't record anything."

"Did I do something strange?"

"It's not that strange, actually. It just turned into a double-reed tone and started acting like a little kid, saying things like, 'Brother Gu Huai, you're so great!'"

"Shut up! Shut up! Forget it, forget it!!"

The most painful thing is not being drunk and acting crazy, but having someone remind you of your embarrassing behavior after you've sobered up.

It's practically the same as being socially bankrupt, especially in front of this bastard; it feels even more hopeless.

"Hahaha, Team Leader Cai, you're actually so thin-skinned?"

"Do you think everyone has a skin as thick as yours? In short, forget everything that happened tonight! Do you hear me!"

She looked at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai would have readily agreed in the past, but now, after discovering this woman's weakness, he feels restless if he doesn't act shamelessly.

He blinked. "What if I refuse?"

Cai Yan didn't back down and sneered, "Then I'll make things difficult for you every day and bully you in the workplace!"

"Damn, is it really that bad? I hate bullying the most."

"Then shut up."

"Sigh, what a pity. I really want to go back and check the restaurant's security footage."

"you dare!"

"Hee hee hee."

"Hey, you head!"

"Ugh."

"No sighing allowed!"

Gu Huai: ? ? ?
Dude, can you even breathe? When you get angry and embarrassed, you become ruthless, even kicking stray dogs on the street, right?
Sigh, whatever, she's my team leader, I'll just spoil her. After chatting for a while, it was indeed quite late. After seeing Cai Yan off, Gu Huai splurged and took a taxi home.

Being a "warm-hearted" guy comes at a price; you'll miss out on a lot of things, like the last bus.

But what she received in return was a particularly sweet "Goodnight" from Cai Yan as she left.

Hiss.

How can you not call it a gain? Wait, isn't this starting to sound like a simp? Shouldn't a simple "goodnight" be enough to get rid of him?

Shivering and cold.

Hehe, goodnight.

They've gone completely mad.

I took a taxi home. There was nothing special going on, and it was getting late, but I still smelled a lot of the restaurant and alcohol on me, so I took a shower.

I was about to go to sleep when I noticed a message pop up on my phone.

There's more than one.

The first one is about Cai Yan.

I'm home. Get some rest.

Goodnight? Who stole my goodnight? Cyber ​​Sports Student?!

Gu Huai sighed helplessly. Goodnight is something that can only be given when the other person wants to; otherwise, it's meaningless.

For some reason, a classic line came to mind: You have no idea what I want. If you knew me, I wouldn't need to say it!
How come everyone has the ability to read minds? How can they understand without being told? Thinking of this, Gu Huai replied to the message.

【Well, good night.】

one second.

two seconds.

Five seconds.

Cai Yan: [Good night.]

"Comfortable."

Then came Lin Jiang's information.

Energetic Little Ginger: [Are you asleep yet?~]

Gu Huai checked the time; it was already past one o'clock, while the other party had sent the message before one o'clock.

Lin Jiang usually doesn't stay up late and should be asleep by now, but out of basic politeness, Gu Huai replied quickly.

I just got home, took a shower, and am getting ready for bed.

I've experienced the frustration of sending a message and not receiving a reply for a whole day, so how could I bear to let someone else get soaked in the rain? Besides, this isn't just anyone, it's my precious Jiang Jiang.

To my surprise, the other party replied in just two seconds.

【Hmm? Why are you only getting home now? Was something wrong at the company?】

Gu Huai: [I had some things to take care of, and I had dinner with my colleagues, so I'm a little late.]

Energetic Little Ginger: [Oh, is that so? Did something good happen? Surely there isn't some random get-together?]

I rely on.

There really is surveillance, guys.

You managed to guess some of the clues; that's quite something.

Gu Huai didn't intend to hide anything. Happiness should be shared. If you're going to wear fine clothes in the dark, then why buy them?
It's nothing much, I just got a small promotion today, I'm now the deputy team leader, so I treated them to dinner.

Energetic Little Ginger: [Wow, that's amazing! A promotion and a raise! I knew you could do it!]

This is our Xiao Jiang, her skills are amazing. I've been watching too much Douyin lately. But I have to admit, Lin Jiang understands emotional value and is very generous with it. Since it's free, she'll give it her all.

If a deputy team leader can be praised like this, Gu Huai can't imagine what she would say if he became the vice president.

Gu Huai: [It's not that exaggerated, and the increase isn't much. It's just that I've gone from being a low-level employee to a higher-level employee.]

Gu Huai wasn't just being modest; although he was genuinely happy, he also knew clearly that this wasn't something to be proud of.

Energetic Little Ginger: [That's still amazing! It proves you have the ability. Otherwise, why was you promoted and not someone else?]

Because my buddy can eat a lot of grass?
Gu Huai decided not to let the other party keep praising him and quickly changed the subject, immediately thinking of his previous curiosity.

[Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, why aren't you asleep yet?]

Energetic Little Ginger: [Actually, I almost fell asleep.]

Gu Huai: [Almost?]

Energetic Little Ginger: [I sent you a message, and then I almost fell asleep holding my phone. I woke up when it vibrated; it was you who replied! That's great.]

"."

Looking at every word I recognized on the screen.

Gu Huai suddenly thought of a scene.

The beautiful woman, who had sent the message, lay patiently in bed.

I managed to stay awake through several naps, but I didn't see a reply to the message. However, I didn't show any disappointment or even urge them to reply.

Until finally, unable to bear it any longer, I closed my eyes.

With a slight tremor, she immediately opened her eyes, smiled, and quickly replied.

You can't say that things that are free are worthless; that's heartless. Gu Huai understood the meaning of waiting and patience even more.

just
In the quiet of the night, it seemed as if there was no human voice in the entire neighborhood, only the sound of the winter wind quietly passing by.

The lights clearly illuminated the room, yet it felt as if a thin mist was rising in front of me.

Looking at the phone.

My eyes are about to close.
