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

Chapter 237 Lin Jiang's Little Secret? (Second Update~)

"Time to go home!"

"Ugh, I have to pick my son up from kindergarten again, it's so annoying."

"Sister Su, you're off work, don't bother. Where do you live? Want me to give you a ride if it's on my way?"

"Need not."

"..."

At this time, the soundproofing of the office becomes practically useless.

Gu Huai put down his hands and looked at Cai Yan, who seemed to still be busy, "Aren't you leaving after get off work?"

Cai Yan shook her head. "Wait a minute, the group leaders have a meeting later. Are you going to wait for me?"

Normally, he would wait, but there was no way around it; he had an appointment today, so Gu Huai couldn't wait any longer.

She said regretfully, "Sigh, I understand how you want someone to wait for you to leave work together, but unfortunately, I have something to do today."

"Get lost, who cares?" She had barely finished speaking when Cai Yan squinted and looked up again. "What is it?"

How could she not know that Gu Huai was usually very free and rarely had anything to do? Although she had only asked casually whether he wanted to wait for her, it seemed a bit suspicious that he suddenly said he had something to do.

Could it be that little teacup?

The association occurred subconsciously.

Gu Huai didn't consider himself a talented scumbag, but he knew he couldn't mention Lin Jiang's name at this time, otherwise Cai Yan would definitely not let him leave the company in a good mood, and would give him some unforgettable 'injuries'.

"No, Xu Cheng invited me out for drinks and dinner. Do you want to come along?"

"You're crazy! It's raining so hard, you two are going to get soaked to death."

Although she didn't attend the same university as Gu Huai, she had heard the name Xu Cheng from Gu Huai many times, but she wasn't interested.

"I'll be going now. Be careful on your way home, and don't play in the water."

"Get out of here."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Having done something slightly foolish, Gu Huai left the office. Cai Yan, annoyed, stared at the closed door and thought for a moment.

Is it really Xu Cheng?
……

"You haven't left yet?"

After Gu Huai came out, almost all of his colleagues from Group Two left, leaving Su Yitang alone again.

He appears to be tidying up the table at this moment.

Work desks are a tricky thing to do. When you first start out, they're always very clean. But then one day you suddenly don't want to keep them tidy anymore, and the whole desk gets messier and messier, with more and more stuff piling up. Eventually, it becomes a chaotic little warehouse.

Su Yitang had just finished tidying up when she looked up at Gu Huai.

"All right."

"Oh, remember to clock out after get off work."

"Ah."

For some reason, we ended up going to take the elevator together again.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people leaving get off work at that time, so I wasn't alone in the elevator.

Gu Huai naturally moved to the innermost part, only to find that the tall Su Yitang was standing a little in front of him. The space was very small, and Gu Huai had to take a deep breath and pull in his stomach to avoid possible physical contact.

Even though the other party seemed like a somewhat slow-witted bot, Gu Huai had no intention of taking advantage of them.

Beauty can sometimes be a form of intimidation.

The elevator reached the first floor, and thankfully, the two did not end up touching.

For some inexplicable reason, Gu Huai felt that he was covered in the other person's fragrance.

People gradually exited the elevator, but Su Yitang, who should have been swept away by the crowd, did not disappear. When Gu Huai came out, he found her standing quietly to the side, calmly watching him walk out.

They probably aren't waiting for me, are they?
Gu Huai took a step, and she took a step too.

Okay, I'm just waiting for myself.

It's black-boned chicken and mackerel.

Has AI taken over the Earth?

Gu Huai had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk with the other person to the company entrance, looking at the dense rain curtain, which resembled the snowy screen of an old television.

The whole world seemed to split open before my eyes, revealing cracks that were almost unbelievably beautiful.

Gu Huai had simply stopped to appreciate the inexplicably beautiful rain of the season, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Su Yitang take an umbrella out of her bag.

Gu Huai looked over, and she held out her umbrella, her eyes fixed on him.

Does this mean I'll lend you my umbrella?
Gu Huai hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "No need, I brought an umbrella."

"Ah."

Su Yitang didn't show any other emotions and calmly put the umbrella away.

Gu Huai decided not to linger any longer, deftly took out his umbrella, and then looked at the other person and said, "Be careful on your way back. If you have any questions or need anything at the company, feel free to contact me anytime."

".Um."

Gu Huai nodded and walked into the rain.

His figure gradually blurred and became indistinct, like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, impossible to capture.

"Hey beautiful, it's raining so hard, want me to take you home? Where do you live?"

A smiling young man appeared nearby, waving his car keys.

Su Yitang simply looked at the other person.

Her eyes, devoid of any emotion, despite their undeniably beautiful shape, gradually eroded the man's initial confidence and the courage he had mustered to strike up a conversation.

Hesitated.

The key was slowly lowered.
Su Yitang didn't look at it much, and naturally opened her umbrella and walked into the rain.

Instead of heading straight to the roadside to hail a taxi, he went around to the left side of the company and walked towards a black sedan parked not far from the roadside.

She opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

"...He is still kind-hearted."

Gu Huai, who was already in a taxi, thought to himself.

Although she seems a bit slow and unresponsive, she's a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

They even wanted to lend me their umbrella.
Gu Huai naturally had no prejudice against Su Yitang. In fact, even if he did, he couldn't blame himself, since she was indeed very different from others.

It's just a bit of a headache for me. Isn't it supposed to be that when your situation improves, there will be more and more good people around you? How come there are hardly any normal people left now?
Ugh.

Never mind, I should go see Jiang Jiang now.

The car drove towards the music academy, where Lin Jiang had invited him to have dinner. Gu Huai had initially suggested that she lend him her car to pick him up, but he thought it would be too much trouble, so he decided to go by himself.

Because of the rain, the usually bustling area around the music academy was much quieter, but there were many more colorful umbrellas.

Being young is great; there are many ways to express your individuality, from clothing and hair color to accessories.

People approaching thirty are easily criticized by older generations for their improper behavior if they carry a flashy umbrella.

You guys wear floral cotton-padded jackets every Chinese New Year and you don't say anything, sigh.

Before getting off the bus, Lin Jiang sent a message to the other party, telling herself that she was not at school, but at a Heytea milk tea shop outside the school.

Gu Huai easily found the Heytea sign, then put away his umbrella and went inside.

Lin Jiang is the type of person who is quite easy to spot in a crowd. It's not like finding the prettiest mineral water bottle in a garbage dump, but like spotting a diamond shining in the sunlight in a riverbed full of gold.

Sitting behind a table on the inside, next to Lin Jiang were two young girls who looked like students, talking to her with starry eyes.

Depend on.

Why did you blush while chatting? Was it a chemistry experiment? Neodymium copper, right?

Gu Huai hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over.

Lin Jiang, who was wearing a white shirt with a pink cardigan over it, spotted Gu Huai immediately.

He looked up, his eyes revealing an undisguised brightness.

It's like a motion-sensor light.

"You're here?"

Upon hearing this, the two girls, who had been looking at Lin Jiang with stars in their eyes, turned to look at Gu Huai.

Then he looked at Lin Jiang with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Is Ms. Lin's boyfriend here?"

"Hey, isn't this the guy who came to our school last time? Ms. Lin, your boyfriend is really handsome!"

Gu Huai stood there somewhat awkwardly. With so many girls talking at once, it was indeed difficult for him to handle them all.

How about a one-on-one match?

"Really? He's handsome!"

Lin Jiang seemed not to hear the word "boyfriend" at all, and instead asked back with a smile.

The two girls giggled, "Yeah~ As expected of Teacher Lin."

"He looks much better than the boys at school. He's tall, handsome, and has a manly charm."

Manliness?
Okay, I'll start growing a beard tomorrow!
"Okay, stop joking with him, he'll be embarrassed."

Lin Jiang smiled and helped Gu Huai out of the predicament.

The two girls stood up laughing. "Oh dear, are you really blushing? You're so innocent."

"Thank you, Teacher Lin. It'll be your turn tomorrow. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Lin Jiang waved her hand, and the two girls brushed past Gu Huai, glancing at him intently twice.

Gu Huai could only try his best to maintain a polite smile, his lips were even a little sore, and he felt like he was about to have facial paralysis.

Women are so scary.

"Your student?"

Gu Huai looked at Lin Jiang.

The smiling, sweet woman nodded. "Hmm, would you like some milk tea?"

She asked.

Gu Huai shook his head, "Forget about that, I'm past the age of drinking milk tea."

"Pfft. Why are you suddenly acting so mature? You can drink milk tea at any age."

Lin Jiang said with a smile.

Gu Huai glanced at the table, then at the person beside him.

"Huh? You didn't bring an umbrella?"

Lin Jiang blinked her watery eyes, revealing shallow dimples. "I brought them, but my students didn't, so I lent them to them."

"and you."

Just as Gu Huai was about to ask himself what to do, he suddenly realized what might be going on.

Hesitantly, he looked at the other person.

Lin Jiang was looking at him with amusement in her clear, bright eyes.

"Then we'll have to share an umbrella, there's really nothing I can do~"

Gu Huai chuckled to himself.

"You have so much stuff."

"Even if you discover a girl's little thoughts, it's best not to say anything."

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
