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

Chapter 45 She was like a burning cloud

Gu Huai understood that if there really was a fortune called 'peach blossom' in the world, then it was gradually becoming more and more apparent in his own life.

But isn't it a bit too exaggerated that things have developed to this point, to the point where such a scene has occurred?!

Is this a change brought about by the simulation, or a hidden effect of the charm stat? He didn't know, he only knew that this kind of thing wasn't very enjoyable, at least he didn't want this situation to happen, nor did he want to recognize this young woman in such an awkward predicament.
But their eyes met at that moment, and he could feel the slight dampness of the other person's palm on the back of his hand.

Wait.

She hasn't washed her hands yet, has she?

With a "whoosh!", Gu Huai quickly pulled his hand away.

Then, looking at the other person with a slightly embarrassed expression, he asked, "Who are you?"

It's easy to tell that the other person is fake and acts like they're putting on an act, so Gu Huai is still pretending to be stupid.

Otherwise, it would be very impolite to recognize someone, turn around and leave without saying hello.

So it's best to pretend that you haven't recognized her yet.

The woman watched as Gu Huai looked at her suspiciously while placing her phone on the edge of the sink.

Her expression seemed somewhat grim.

"Am I that different from when I was in college?"

Gu Huai's acting was spot-on, conveying a look of surprise, followed by realization, and then a hint of disbelief.

"Could it be Xu Wenxi?"

"You only just recognized me?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking carefully just now. I was thinking, 'Where did this stunning beauty come from?' No wonder she looked familiar. I really didn't recognize her."

Gu Huai, oh Gu Huai, you've fallen.

How could you say something like that? Indeed, he's not good at flattery.

But in this situation, even the tiger's tail needs to be patted.

Xu Wenxi stared at Gu Huai's expression, who still seemed to have doubts. Gu Huai tried to open his eyes wide and appear as sincere as possible.

If you ask why Gu Huai thinks this can show sincerity, it's simple: that's just how children are.

In the end, Xu Wenxi nodded and picked up her phone.

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much, I almost dropped my phone."

"You're welcome, we're classmates, no need to be so polite. Um... I'll go in first."

They didn't even bother with the necessary small talk, since the two of them weren't really in a relationship; it was more like an accident.

All he wanted to do now was get back to the private room, back to Xu Cheng's side, like a mouse seeing a cat and wanting to hide in its sewer.

Fortunately, this time the other party did not try to stop them.

Xu Wenxi did nothing at all; she simply watched as the young man hurriedly left the public restroom and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

As for herself.

I washed my hands, looked up at myself in the mirror, and saw myself wearing a baseball cap.

She frowned slightly.

"Am I that scary?"

……

"Crench."

Gu Huai pushed open the door and returned to the private room, only to find that there were a few more people in the room.

The seats seem to be almost full, with nearly ten people. If you include Xu Wenxi, who hasn't come in yet, there should be exactly ten people.

The moment I walked in, someone clearly showed a look of regret and disappointment on their face.

"I thought it was the beautiful Xu who had arrived."

"Yeah, why haven't they arrived yet? Didn't they say they were already here?"

Gu Huai didn't tell anyone about his encounter with Xu Wenxi, and he didn't care about the pity they showed when they saw him. He had long been used to the fact that he was never the center of attention in any situation, and eventually even enjoyed the fact that no one had any expectations of him.

This is a natural barrier that one can slack off on without a care in the world. Perhaps becoming invisible is not a bad thing, except for the moments when good things don't happen to one but bad things do.

"I thought you'd fallen into the toilet."

Xu Cheng smiled as he looked at Gu Huai, thinking that only Gu Huai would care how long he had been in the restroom.

Gu Huai laughed too, "Get lost, do you think everyone is like you who doesn't wash their hands after using the toilet and that's why they come out so quickly?"

"Hahaha, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Cheng and Gu Huai were joking around.

The man sitting next to Xu Cheng was slightly overweight, but his expression clearly showed that he was in high spirits because of a happy occasion.

Seeing Gu Huai and Xu Cheng chatting and laughing, he asked curiously, "You two seem to be getting along really well now, just like you did in college."

The man speaking was the dormitory head, who was also the organizer of this gathering. His name was Jiahe, a northerner who considered himself to be very generous.

Gu Huai remembered it so clearly not because he was the dormitory head, but because he clearly remembered that it was Jia He who took advantage of his birthday to cause those things.

He had never said he had any feelings for Xu Wenxi, yet the conversation inexplicably turned to Xu Wenxi. Who, really, was interested in Xu Wenxi? Gu Huai had already figured out the answer.

Xu Cheng immediately patted Gu Huai on the shoulder beside him, "Of course, it's just the two of us brothers relying on each other in the provincial capital."

Jiahe laughed loudly, "What do you mean by depending on each other for survival? Who doesn't know your family's wealth, Young Master Xu? Old Gu, you've managed to hook up with a tycoon, haven't you? Hahahaha."

That's why Gu Huai said he thought he was generous and magnanimous.

From finding a job to finding a place to live in this city, Gu Huai has mostly managed to survive on his own without relying on Xu Cheng's financial assistance.

Making jokes about marrying a rich man like this when you're a student would be offensive, let alone when you're a dignified adult.
Who would willingly attribute all their efforts to the help of others?

Gu Huai's smile vanished immediately, and Xu Cheng frowned slightly as well.

"Don't say that. Gu Huai is also very capable. The fact that he can work and live well in the provincial capital has nothing to do with me."

Jah seemed to find his joke amusing and thought it was a way to tease the two of them about their good relationship.

"I understand, I understand. Oh, I didn't mean anything by it. Old classmates and brothers are supposed to help each other out, right? Otherwise, what's the point of a class reunion? But Gu Huai is really amazing. Do you guys remember that time on Gu Huai's birthday?"

He seemed about to bring up some old story.

Before Gu Huai could react, Xu Cheng immediately adjusted his posture and turned to look at Jia He.

"By the way, I haven't asked our dorm leader where he's been making his fortune lately. You look quite radiant."

Xu Cheng immediately changed the subject.

Jahe was stunned for a moment, then his smile became even brighter.

"Oh, just say I've gained weight. There's nothing I can do about it. All these years I've been traveling all over the country with my dad organizing food festivals and events. I haven't made much money, and I haven't lost any weight either. In fact, I've gained weight. Isn't that ridiculous?"

I thought he was being quite modest.

The next moment, Jahe suddenly pulled an Audi key out of his pocket.

He slammed his hand on the table. "I asked my dad for money, and instead of the money, I got a car. Isn't that ridiculous?"

To be honest, the "Big Three" in China are no longer as effective, but that doesn't stop them from being symbols of success in some people's minds, or at least making them look respectable.

Gu Huai's lips twitched slightly.

Lowering his voice, he said to Xu Cheng, "Why are there still people showing off with four rings these days?"

Xu Cheng nodded gently, "Don't talk nonsense. In my mind, four circles have always been the pinnacle of popsicles."

"Hahahahaha."

"Huh? What are you two whispering about?"

Jahe had laid the groundwork by displaying the car keys, expecting a great response, but it seemed to sink without a trace. No one reacted, and the two people next to him even started whispering to each other.

There was an awkward moment.

Xu Cheng immediately sat up straight. "It's nothing, you're amazing, dorm leader! You've already driven four Jaguars, you'll have to get a Lamborghini next year, won't you?"

That's the attitude we should have.

Seeing the stares from those around him, Jahe seemed to enjoy it, but he pretended to be modest.

"What are you saying? I haven't been making that much money lately. I'm thinking of getting a G-Class next year, that should be enough."

Gu Huai turned slightly to the side again.

"I keep hearing people talk about the G-Wagon, is it really that amazing?"

Xu Cheng lowered his voice again, "G is a bit too big for me. I think C and D are just right, I can handle them."

"What the hell?"

"What are you two talking about now?"

"us."

Just as I was about to speak, the door opened again.

This time, she did not disappoint everyone's expectations, and everyone's attention naturally turned to her.

Even though Gu Huai had been mentally prepared, he was still somewhat amazed.

She has a slender figure, not actually that exaggeratedly tall, but her body proportions are quite perfect.

With an elegant Chanel-inspired style and a slender figure, she removed her baseball cap, revealing a cascade of stunning aquamarine red hair.

It was like a fiery sunset rolling down from the horizon.
