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

Chapter 32 The Girl's Prayer

This truly caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers.

When the girl's sweet voice echoed throughout the basketball court, all the boys turned to look.

The words "Go Gu Huai!" were completely unfamiliar to them; after all, this wasn't the kind of treatment a nobody in the class should receive.

Being called on should only occur when the teacher calls on a student to answer a question during class.

Especially since the girl who called his name was a well-known figure in the entire grade.

The afternoon sun shone on her slightly flushed cheeks, and her delicate features shone like crystal.

For a moment, Chen Pinyan forgot his purpose. When he saw that the person was Cai Yan, he only felt a deep jealousy in his heart.

Why did I cheer him on?

Am I not human? Am I not even on the field? Am I not more handsome than this invisible figure?
Why!

Su Yiming was even more incredulous. Although he was now another girl's boyfriend, the unrequited love he felt was like a thorn in his side. He could pretend not to care, but he couldn't hide the resentment and doubt he felt.

Should we cheer him on?

Just because he's in her class? Impossible. A girl like her wouldn't let herself become the target of public criticism and the center of gossip for such a simple reason.

This treatment is already quite unusual, and there's no way to deceive oneself about it.

He now has only one thought: to defeat Gu Huai in public. Maybe it won't change anything, but at least he wants to prove that he is ten thousand times stronger than Gu Huai here!
Gu Huai hadn't expected Cai Yan to suddenly cheer him on.

The surrounding noise was very noticeable, and the jeers were like a tsunami.

"Holy crap, is that Cai Yan? I'm not seeing things, am I?!"

"She's cheering for Gu Huai? Why? No, is there something fishy going on between them?"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! What makes Gu Huai think he can do this?!"

"Holy crap, this is huge news! What did I see and hear?!"

Gu Huai had a headache.

I'm performing like this for R coins, so what does she even do for a living? Is she trying to make me nervous and embarrassed by stirring things up?

Okay, that's a bit of an extreme view. A girl who was willing to lend her car to save him, a girl who later gave him the opportunity to help him rebuild his confidence, wouldn't have such thoughts.

Although he didn't understand why the other person was suddenly cheering him on, Gu Huai looked at the girl over there, whose face was already flushed and somewhat uncontrollably red, and raised his arm.

That's the OK sign.

Then he buried his head in the ball and charged towards the opponent's camp.

Cai Yan was stunned. She wondered if she had acted impulsively, doing something so easily misunderstood. There would definitely be a lot of rumors going on, and she was the one who had told him not to misunderstand her actions, yet she had done it anyway. Would he think she was crazy?
But when I came to my senses, I saw the gesture he was making towards me.

OK?

What do you mean? You're putting on an act, aren't you? You're shameless!
The next moment, Gu Huai charged into the enemy camp, and from that moment on, the situation became irreversibly one-sided.

It turns out that Su Yiming was not some genius baseball player, and those videos posted online were mostly exaggerated.

That is, he's just a little bit better than the average player his age, with a bit more experience. But Gu Huai isn't his age, and his experience is far greater. So whether it's one-on-one or team play, Gu Huai can easily score points.

When he switched to the defensive side, Su Yiming's skills, which he could use with ease, were completely ineffective.

Either he was closely marked so that the opponent couldn't find any openings, or he could only pretend to dribble a few steps. Gu Huai would never easily reach out to steal the ball and give the opponent an opening.

All his moves can only result in a frustrating pull-up jumper from the spot. You're not Durant, how accurate can that kind of pull-up jumper be?
As the game progressed, the cheering squad from Class 4 on the sidelines quickly fell silent.

It looked as if the wheat had been damaged.

Of course, Cai Yan wouldn't stand up for Gu Huai alone anymore; she was already enjoying the fruits of her labor.

For example, Zhang Ying's face was even more unpleasant than pig liver. If it weren't for her boyfriend still struggling on the field, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay there any longer.

He never dared to look at Cai Yan over there again.

After the initial thrill of instant revenge faded, all that remained was the image of the boy.

I didn't seem to pay much attention just now, I was too caught up in the thrill of revenge. Now it seems... he really does know how to play.

Each movement, while not particularly flashy, was simple and effective. In comparison, Su Yiming's movements were like a monkey show, dribbling around aimlessly in place, ultimately failing to score and exhausting himself.

Gu Huai's behavior wasn't exactly dashing, but compared to the other young men around him, he was remarkably mature and composed—a quality that others seemed to lack.

It is attractive because it is special.

When the thought popped into her head, she was stunned, and her cheeks immediately burned.

A friend nearby leaned over and said, "Were you out of your mind? You're not actually interested in her, are you? Did I guess right?"

"Get lost! I already said it's because I don't like Zhang Ying. Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe, you know perfectly well whether I'm talking nonsense or not. By the way, aren't you going to buy some water?"

"Why buy water? I'm not thirsty," Cai Yan said, puzzled.

The girl next to him teased, "They're almost done playing. He'll be really thirsty when he comes off the court. Aren't you going to offer him a bottle of water?"

"Say that again and I'll hit you!"

"I'm getting anxious!"

"I'm not watching anymore, humph."

"Where are you going? Wait for me!"

"Let's go to the convenience store."

"Wow? You're really going to buy water?"

"It's so hot, I'm going to buy some popsicles, do you want some?"

"Such a good thing~ Hey, is Gu Huai also in for it?"

"You can buy it yourself, I won't treat you."

"Hey, hey, I was wrong, I was wrong~ Yan Yan, you're the best, I'll never say anything like that again~" "Hmph."

The girl appeared as always, head held high and poised, but inwardly she was pondering something.

He's sweating so much from playing ball, he'll definitely come to the convenience store to buy water later. If I stay there a bit longer and run into him, he'll probably talk to me after this, right? Then I can give him an ice pop. It seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Okay, that's it!
"clang!"

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Gu Huai sealed the victory with a remarkably easy turnaround jump shot.

With a dark expression, Su Yiming turned and left almost immediately, without even saying goodbye to the people from Class 3. What was destroyed was not only the game, but also his dignity on the court and in front of that girl.

Of course, he didn't even pay much attention to his girlfriend Zhang Ying when she came over.

These situations were none of Gu Huai's concern; he only cared about whether the simulation was over and how much he could earn this time.

Oh wait, there's something else.

"Wow, Gu Huai, I didn't expect you to be such a good player."

Chen Pinyan walked over, pretending to wipe the sweat from her forehead. To be honest, by the time Gu Huai really went all out, the situation was already out of her control, and no amount of meddling could change the outcome.

So I had to give up my original plan and wait for another opportunity. Anyway, it's impossible to play basketball now! Letting him play dumb and fool me is worse than killing him.

This Su Yiming is unreliable. What happened to the legendary streetball king of Jicheng No. 1 High School? You can't even beat him in a one-on-one match, and you can't defend him. Show some skill! What about your elbows? What about your footwork? Nothing! A complete noob!
He completely ignored the fact that his behavior made him look like a clown in Gu Huai's eyes.

Now he has to suppress his anger and pretend to be genuinely happy for him.

Gu Huai smiled at Chen Pinyan without speaking immediately, and this smile inexplicably made Chen Pinyan feel guilty.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Ignoring the sweat on his forehead, Gu Huai smiled and asked, "What did you say to Su Yiming before we started fighting?"

"Huh? What?"

Chen Pinyan's eyes twitched, and she immediately pretended to know nothing, but her heart was pounding. Could he know something? That shouldn't be the case. Are you playing Sherlock Holmes or Conan? Knowing everything?

But sorry to say, Gu Huai knows everything.

He said with a smile, "Let me guess, you should have told Su Yiming before the fight that Cai Yan and I have a special relationship."

"Why would I bring this up? Don't make wild guesses!"

He looked as if he had been completely right.

Gu Huai shrugged. "It's simple. Su Yiming confessed to Cai Yan before and was rejected. Even though he has a girlfriend now, he still can't help but care about Cai Yan. You said those things to make him go all out against me, and then you kept giving me the ball so I could play one-on-one. You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have some kind of paranoia?"

Chen Pinyan, her face flushed red, hurriedly denied and refuted the claims.

But Gu Huai shook his head. "It's alright. It's a pity that my plan to embarrass me failed this time, but you still have a chance. I hope you can do it as soon as possible, since we're going to be separated into different classes, and it will be difficult for us to have another chance to interact. I hope you can be more prepared next time. I look forward to next time."

How could Gu Huai say such harsh words? It wasn't that he couldn't say them, it's just that Chen Pinyan's actions seemed to him like she was helping him earn R coins.

Where else can you find such a clumsy method that still allows you to earn R coins? Isn't this much more endearing than those disgusting guys I encountered in the workplace later on?
He wanted to pat him on the head to encourage him.

But never mind for now.

He turned and left the playground, leaving Chen Pinyan standing there, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his face.

Standing there, feeling as naked as if stripped of all his clothes, he realized that everything he had done had been seen by the other party.

Instead of exposing him on the spot, he indulged in the experience, which only served to help him gain attention.

What about yourself?
The Joker! A complete and utter Joker! He looks exactly like the Joker without even needing the red nose! He could just walk past McDormand and sit down!
His last words, in particular, made him feel utterly ashamed.

What, expecting next time? You think you can play dumb and fool everyone again?! You're just playing the fool and grinding experience points here like a lowly monster!

Anger almost completely consumed Chen Pinyan's rationality, and the basketball in his hand seemed to become his only weapon. Boys at this age don't have much cunning or rationality, especially those who are used to being powerful and getting everything they want easily.

"grass!"

So, almost uncontrollably, Chen Pinyan threw the basketball in her hand at Gu Huai's arrogant back.

"Shh!"

The speed was indeed very fast, and Gu Huai felt it too. What he felt even more was that the ball was obviously off-target and the accuracy was not good.

He turned around quickly enough, but the basketball was already hurtling towards a girl who was walking towards the edge of the playground with her head down not far to his left!

There was no time to determine whether this was because my simulation hadn't ended yet, nor did I know if this was some kind of bonus test.

Instinctively, my body tensed up.

Just as the girl was about to realize what was happening and turn around to face the basketball flying towards her.

The power of imagination!

Gu Huai turned to the side and stretched out his hand.

"boom!"

The freezer in the convenience store was closed.

"Hmm? Are you done? If you're done, then leave."

The girl looked at Cai Yan, who seemed to be looking around curiously, with a strange expression.

Cai Yan feigned composure and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's finish eating before we leave, it's still early anyway."

I was already cursing in my heart.

Gu Huai, where are you?!
