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

Chapter 236 You're still thinking about it? (First update~)

"This rain doesn't look like it's going to stop."

Gu Huai muttered to himself as the heavy rain outside the window continued incessantly, as if it were the saddest time of the year for the heavens, and they were about to cry it all out at once.

Gu Huai didn't particularly dislike rainy weather; he just remembered that Lin Jiang had made plans to meet him today, and the rain made it seem like there were fewer things he could do, making him feel constrained.

Hearing Gu Huai's mutterings, Cai Yan calmly looked at the computer screen and said, "Didn't bring an umbrella again?"

Gu Huai smiled and said, "I brought it today."

"Wow, that's rare! You can actually read the weather forecast now?" Cai Yan glanced at Gu Huai, who seemed quite smug. She wondered what he was so proud of about carrying an umbrella. Was he a kindergarten kid? How about I give you two more little red flowers?
"Didn't you remind me of that?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing Gu Huai's words, Cai Yan chuckled, not out of genuine sarcasm, but simply because she found it inexplicably ridiculous.

Does he really enjoy being ordered around? Sure enough, men need to be disciplined. They won't listen to reason, only behave after being scolded. Could he be the kind of man who actually feels good when I yell at him?
Suddenly, Cai Yan stopped laughing and became alert.

We can't let him have his way.

Gu Huai noticed all of Cai Yan's subtle changes in expression.

This guy is really strange. He was laughing just a moment ago, so why is he suddenly on guard? Who is he keeping watch for?

I'm not sure, but it's probably a police dog.

The morning flew by, it already felt like class time. I don't even know what I was busy with, my computer is piled high with data spreadsheets. I got them from the warehouse department and then distributed them to other departments. It seems that no matter how high your position, you're just a small cog in a giant machine.

At lunchtime, Cai Yan was still too lazy to go to the cafeteria and asked Gu Huai to bring her food. Gu Huai even thought he could buy a yellow or blue jacket and an electric scooter. With his stats, he could deliver food faster than a sports student.

When I left the office, there was almost no one left in the work group.
"Ok?"

Apart from Su Yitang, who sat quietly at her workstation, staring steadily at her computer.

Su Yitang is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that is unique and exceptional. However, if possible, Gu Huai doesn't really want to spend time alone with her or have too much communication with her. After all, it would be too awkward to be together; one is not good with words, and the other speaks very little, sparing with her words.

If only the two of them were left in the world, Gu Huai felt that it would be no different from the extinction of humankind.

Gu Huai wanted to leave without saying a word, but by sheer bad luck, he glanced at the other person and saw them looking up at him.

Those eyes, seemingly devoid of any human emotion, stared at me, locking onto me like a camera.

It would be impolite not to speak now.

"Uh, aren't you going to eat? It's okay to take your time with the work."

A newcomer won't have much to do; they're just there to learn and gain experience.

It was just a polite remark, but I didn't expect her to stand up after just humming in agreement.

Gu Huai stopped in his tracks. She took two steps, then realized that Gu Huai hadn't moved, so she turned around to look at him.

Aren't you going?

That's roughly the look in their eyes.

Damn it, I've been arrested.

Gu Huai sighed silently, but a smile was about to spread across his face.

"Let's go."

There's no way around it; once you're in a leadership position, you have to have a certain perspective and sense of responsibility. So what if you're a deputy team leader? Don't underestimate someone.

They walked together to the cafeteria. During the walk, Su Yitang remained the same, her eyes fixed straight ahead, unlike many newcomers to the company who would look around furtively.

It seems that once a goal is set, it's not easy to get distracted.

Gu Huai didn't know what to say, so he walked forward in silence.

When they entered the elevator to go to the cafeteria floor, the cramped space was left with only the two of them, and every breath they took was filled with the gradually familiar woody scent of each other.

He could only speak softly, "How are you feeling since you first joined Group Two?"

I couldn't really feel it in just one morning. Like most interpersonal relationships, it always starts off well, but somehow we all go our separate ways later on.

The moment he uttered the question, Gu Huai already had a feeling about how the other person would answer.

"Fortunately."

really.

"That's fine."

Gu Huai smiled and then took a deep breath.

Why is this elevator so slow? What if it just drops straight down, like in the movies?

"Crench."

Fortunately, the elevator doors opened quickly. Su Yitang showed no intention of yielding and naturally stepped out first. Gu Huai, of course, didn't mind such trivial details. He didn't have any ailment of power, and the fish head facing the wrong direction was just a ridiculous joke.

After getting their food, Gu Huai was thinking of seeing where Lao Lin or Li Hao were, and then heading over there himself. Whether Su Yitang decided to sit with them or alone, he would feel relieved.

They couldn't find the two guys at all; they were probably out smoking again.

There was no other way, so Gu Huai couldn't force himself to sit down with people he didn't know. He could only find an empty spot to sit down.

Sure enough, Su Yitang soon sat down in front of him with a plate.

Gu Huai looked over calmly and found that the other person's plate was almost entirely filled with vegetables and soup.

Gu Huai couldn't help but ask, "The cafeteria ladies here are quite skilled at cooking. Don't you eat any meat at all?"

Su Yitang, who had just picked up her chopsticks, sat very upright, just like a true lady. Her legs were together, her slender waist was straight, and her hands were on the table. She didn't even take out her phone to look at it.

"do not like."

He simply said three words. Gu Huai nodded, then said with a hint of regret, "What a pity, the sweet and sour pork really tasted quite good."

The other person simply hummed in response and then began to eat.

She ate slowly and deliberately, a stark contrast to Gu Huai's ravenous wolfing down his food like a starving ghost.

One is scientific and healthy, while the other is like a refugee entering the country.

So what? If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with you as a person.

I understand it, yet I don't.

Gu Huai finished eating quickly and was relieved to find that the other person had left half of their food.

"You eat first, I need to bring food to someone, so I'll be going now."

Su Yitang looked up at Gu Huai, and that look was a little strange. He stared at her intently, wondering if there was something on her face.

Gu Huai subconsciously reached out to touch his face, only to realize that he hadn't wiped his mouth yet. Looking at the table, he saw that there were no tissues on it.

He immediately turned around, grabbed a pack of tissues from the next table, placed it directly in front of Su Yitang's plate, and took two tissues for himself.

"eat slowly."

She grabbed two tissues and slipped away without waiting for Su Yitang's reply. Reply? What's so nice about that? She should just keep Yanbao from starving.

After Gu Huai left, Su Yitang's gaze slowly fell on the tissue in front of her.

Then he lowered his head and ate his food carefully.

"Knock knock knock, hello, your takeout is here~"

".nerve."

Gu Huai opened the door and saw Cai Yan still leaning back in her chair, holding her phone.

"I'm working myself to the bone delivering food, and you're just playing on your phone in the office, huh?"

Gu Huai pretended to be angry and placed the packed lunchbox on the other person's table.

Cai Yan glanced at Gu Huai and said, "Then don't bring it. It's not like I begged you to bring it."

Gu Huai was furious.

Doing a good deed goes unpraised, and then she gets criticized? I really want to drag this woman back to kindergarten to see how kind-hearted the children are.

But of course, that's not how you say it; Gu Huai just smiled dismissively.

"I have a personal hobby: I like to feed small animals like cats and dogs. It's very relaxing."

Cai Yan, who was unpacking a plastic bag, glared at Gu Huai and said, "You childish brat."

Gu Huai: ? ? ?
You're speechless now, aren't you!

Gu Huai was too lazy to argue with the other party, so he sat down and leisurely looked at his phone, occasionally glancing at Cai Yan eating at her seat.

Thinking back to how Su Yitang ate just now, I couldn't help but compare it in my mind.

A beautiful woman looks good no matter what she does. Cai Yan looks beautiful even when she's eating. Watching Gu Huai make him want to eat another meal, as if the food tastes especially sweet when it's in her mouth.

Su Yitang eats like a robot, maintaining the same rhythm without any unnecessary movements.

Cai Yan ate while looking at her phone, occasionally spilling a few snacks, but she would quickly wipe them up with a tissue.
"Is one of your quirks watching other people eat?"

Gu Huai paused for a moment, then coughed awkwardly.

"No, I was just concerned about whether you thought it tasted good."

"Tsk, as if you made it yourself."

How did you know I could cook?

"Who asked you if you can cook?"

Cai Yan instinctively retorted, then looked at the other person with some curiosity.

"Sure, just give me any video tutorial, and I'll perfectly recreate it for you."

"Learning it on the spot, huh?"

"That's different. You'll know once you try it."

"You make it sound like you can try it anytime. Why don't you bring me something you made yourself tomorrow?"

Cai Yan suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Gu Huaicai realized that he had found himself a job as a chef.

"You're quite thoughtful. I brought it here and it's already cold by noon."

"It's okay, the company has a microwave."

"What's in it for me?"

Cai Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Huai. She originally wanted to tease this arrogant man who had been acting very arrogantly lately, but suddenly she noticed that his eyes were glancing at her mouth intentionally or unintentionally. What was he thinking!

Her cheeks flushed slightly in an instant.

"No, you want something in return? It's like you really want to eat what you cook."

What a lewd scoundrel, actually eyeing the reward.
