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

Chapter 234 Are you a bot? (Third update!)

It's not a work uniform. After all, the company doesn't have any strict rules about what to wear to work. As long as men don't dress too flashy and women don't dress in a way that interferes with male colleagues' work, it's fine.

High-waisted jeans, and a very ordinary pair of white sneakers.

However, her seemingly ordinary outfit could not conceal the woman's inherent charm.

She was even taller than Cai Yan, and her fair skin was so striking that it seemed like she was from a different dimension and style.

A black sweater, and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace adorning her long neck.

He was wearing a dark overcoat.

Her neat black hair was tied into a waterfall ponytail, as if showing off her hair volume.

That face, with its distinctive air, was quietly gazing at me.

She had no extra expression, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

How could it be the same person I ran into at the water dispenser and in the elevator yesterday?
Gu Huai had a déjà vu feeling that he was being set up by capital, even though he seemed to be the one that capital was after.

But isn't that too much of a coincidence?
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Su, Su Yitang. She just came from out of town and started working here yesterday. She has worked in some online media companies before, which is a good match for your major, so she can be of help."

Su Yitang?
What is the name of the female protagonist in the novel?

Just hearing it sounds a bit like a Mary Sue story, but the young woman's demeanor makes it hard to connect with that image.

Because she was so calm, as calm as a still pond whose depths were unfathomable, as if she had hidden away all the human emotions that should be present.

Did someone tell you that you are an AI? Gu Huai really wanted to ask.

But since Minister Qian was still there, Gu Huai had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the initiative to greet him.

Hello, Ms. Su.

Su Yitang walked calmly from the window, so composed that she seemed less like an employee. Gu Huai glanced at Minister Qian beside him out of the corner of his eye.

However, they found that Minister Qian showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, he had been smiling broadly ever since he came in.

Something doesn't look right.

"Hello."

In the blink of an eye, the other person had walked calmly to me, carrying the same woody scent I had smelled yesterday that I could still remember.

The voice was as calm as it had been yesterday, but the other person steadily extended their hand.

It was a hand with long, slender fingers and a fair, delicate palm.

It doesn't look like a human body part; it should be served at a state banquet.

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting, because her temperament didn't seem like that of someone who would take the initiative to ask for help. But in that moment of hesitation, Gu Huai saw a rare emotion in the woman's eyes.

She seemed puzzled, wondering why Gu Huai didn't reach out.

Gu Huai quickly reached out his hand.

"Hello."

I gently squeezed the other person's hand, but before I could even fully feel it, I quickly let go.

Su Yitang should have withdrawn her hand immediately, but before she did, she looked at her palm.

What does this mean? Is there something wrong with your hand, buddy? What's with this weird little movement? I should have just picked it up and taken a bite! Let me show you!

Favorability -10.

Minister Qian smiled and said, "Xiao Su has only been back in the provincial capital for a short time and is not very familiar with the area yet. Could you show her around? Oh, by the way, I remember Xiao Gu, you're from Jicheng, right?"

Yes, the heirs.

Gu Huai nodded. "Yes, that's right."

"Xiao Su happens to be from Jicheng as well, so you're from the same hometown."

Too?

Gu Huai glanced at Su Yitang in surprise. Su Yitang seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly at him.

What kind of connections do they have that they dare to be so audacious? Minister Qian was still speaking, and she blatantly started daydreaming. What's the difference between this and playing on your phone right under the teacher's nose when you're in school?
But Minister Qian seemed to be blind as well, as if he didn't notice this scene at all.

"What a coincidence!"

Another person from Jicheng. This information doesn't sound very good.

When did Jicheng become so full of beautiful women? Although Jicheng is a small place, the people there are generally quite good-looking. On weekends, you can see many beautiful women and handsome men coming and going near the shopping mall in my hometown.

It's just that the situation is even more exaggerated in provincial capitals with a larger population base.

Hearing Gu Huai speak, Su Yitang seemed to snap out of her daze and glanced at Gu Huai.

"Ah."

He didn't nod, just gave a simple response, and seemed reluctant to talk.

Unfortunately, Gu Huai wasn't the type to create a lively atmosphere, so the scene fell into an awkward silence. Minister Qian, who had initially thought he could hand the situation over to the two young men, looked left and right.

These two people... why do they both look so strange?
Ugh. Never mind, I can't hold it in any longer.

Minister Qian simply said, "Well, if you have something to say, go back to Group Two and talk it over."

Gu Huai nodded. "Minister Qian, please go to the restroom. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"."

This kid is quite considerate. But isn't it a bit much to say that directly to a girl like that? Minister Qian glanced cautiously at Su Yitang beside him, only to find that she had no expression or reaction, as if she hadn't heard the words at all.

Okay, I guess I was overthinking it.

Minister Qian hurriedly went to the restroom, and he did seem to be holding it in quite a bit. As for whether it was urine or a small stone, that was not something Gu Huai should speculate on.

Su Yitang followed Gu Huai out of the office.

On the way, Gu Huai glanced at the tall woman walking beside him, who looked straight ahead without any sign of unease.

"Well, from now on, we'll all be colleagues in Group Two. The atmosphere in our group is pretty good, and there aren't any strict hierarchical relationships, so don't be too reserved. Just be natural and don't try to act like you're super busy. Just do your job well during working hours."

Gu Huai thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything to say. He had just taken over the job and it would be a little awkward not to say anything.

Gu Huai didn't expect any special reaction from the other party.

Unexpectedly, after he finished reciting these old, uninformative things, Su Yitang turned around and stared straight at him.

There's a response? A medical miracle!
"Ah."

"."

Okay, overthinking that.

Girl, if you really have nothing to say, just nod gently. There's no need to deliberately look at me; I'm not as good-looking as you.

"I'll take the liberty of asking."

"Ah."

Gu Huai looked at her tentatively, and she looked back at him, seemingly ready to answer any questions.

Ask me anything, I'll tell you everything.

It's as if I can sense that emotion... Hmm? Something's not right? Could it be a completely new ability, allowing people to feel her emotions without her saying a word?
"Don't you like to talk much?"

Gu Huai thought that at this age, there shouldn't be anyone too slow-witted, otherwise the company wouldn't have hired him. As for whether he was a nepotism hire, that could be dealt with later.

So it's probably a personality issue? If that's the case, you could talk to Lao Lin and the others when you have the chance, and try to be considerate of them so as not to make them feel too uncomfortable.

"Fortunately."

She glanced at Gu Huai and simply said two words.

Gu Huai doubted whether the other party even knew the definition of 'okay,' but oh well, he had at least tried his best.

"Um, it's nothing, I was just asking. Okay, we're here."

"I know."

She added a comment, and Gu Huai realized that she had come yesterday and seen him, so she probably knew.

In the short moment that Gu Huai was distracted, the other party walked directly past him into the work group.

How did it get in by itself?! Is it really not a bot?!

That eliminates the possibility of social anxiety or a dislike of talking, since she is actually quite open and normal in her speech and interactions with people.

"Who are you, beautiful lady?"

As soon as Gu Huai entered, he heard Old Lin's puzzled voice.

Then, one after another, people turned their gaze toward Su Yitang.

Gu Huai appeared just in time and spoke before Su Yitang could.

"This is Su Yitang, who will be a new member of our Group Two from now on. Let's welcome her."

Gu Huai also glanced at the tightly closed office door over there.

Cai Yan didn't seem to come out. Since she came back from Minister Qian's place, it means she should have met with Su Yitang, right?
"Hiss~ That feels so good."

Minister Qian shuddered after using the restroom.

The act of excretion, which feels like a release of all the pressure, leaves one feeling refreshed. Just as I'm about to go out to wash my hands, my phone rings in my pocket.

Who is it at this time?

He took out his phone, intending to put it aside to answer the call and wash his hands, but the moment he saw the caller ID, Minister Qian forgot all about washing his hands and immediately picked up the phone and held it to his ear.

"Hello? Mr. Su. Ah. At this time..."

"."

"Oh, don't worry, it's all been arranged. I guarantee no one else will know. I'll keep an eye on it."

"."

"Yes, yes, please go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

"call."

Relieved, Minister Qian put down his phone and sighed inexplicably.

"The kids from rich families these days are really interesting."

As I turned around with my phone in hand, my rhinitis flared up when I reached the office door. It was a little itchy, and I pinched my nose to blow it out.

"Damn it! I forgot to wash my hands!"
