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

Chapter 78 1 Resurrection

Chapter 78 Let's die together~
Crawling forward was obviously out of the question; Gu Huai didn't want his knees and elbows to be burning with pain.

Of course, Cai Yan wasn't serious, but the occasional assertiveness this woman displayed didn't make Gu Huai feel any aversion or discomfort.

Well, perhaps this is the only way to distinguish between the simulated Cai Yan and the real her.

"Alright, finish everything you need to do this morning, and come out with me this afternoon."

Cai Yan concluded with these words.

Gu Huai nodded and left the office.

Back at his workstation, Lao Lin immediately came over to inquire about the situation. Gu Huai simply said that he had to go out with Cai Yan in the afternoon for official business.

Then I saw the ambiguous look in the eyes of this greasy old man.

It's quite obvious that people have already started imagining the relationship between the two in private.

Although he knew that in many cases, weak explanations would be useless and powerless, Gu Huai still gave Lao Lin some advice.

"Don't spread rumors. I'm fine, but if Team Leader Cai hears these gossips, you'll be in big trouble."

"Tsk tsk tsk Gu Huai, don't you think you sound like a lackey right now?"

"What lackey? Ever heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Gu Huai said irritably.

Old Lin chuckled, "I certainly won't talk nonsense, but can you control yourself?"

"What are you thinking about? What do I need to uphold in my official duties?"

It's not like we're going to a hotel.

Old Lin chuckled and said, "Haven't you read novels? Often, the male and female protagonists with an ambiguous relationship will have an opportunity to be alone together, and then they'll run into some kind of rainstorm, mudslide, or earthquake and end up trapped together."

"Old Lin, are you cursing me to die? Where did this torrential rain and mudslides come from on a sunny day? And an earthquake? Is the provincial capital on an earthquake zone? Why don't you say it's an alien invasion?"

"Who knows? What if something unexpected happens?"

"."

Gu Huai was too lazy to talk and was about to get back to his work when a familiar scent wafted into his nose. His instantaneous reaction was as if they were telepathically connected. He immediately realized what it was.

Before I could even turn my head, I heard Old Lin rambling on and on.

"You really don't know how lucky you are. If I were a few years younger and not married, you wouldn't even be in the running. Team Leader Cai, you know, she might seem strong, but she's actually quite formidable."

"Cough cough cough."

Gu Huai was still kind-hearted; at least he didn't stand idly by in this situation. He coughed twice to remind Lao Lin to shut up.

Old Lin looked at Gu Huai curiously, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold? Or was that Liqun cigarette too strong this morning?"

Still at that damn Liqun!
Gu Huai rolled his eyes and didn't bother to say anything.

Just as Lao Lin was about to say something, the temperature suddenly dropped behind him, and a sound that seemed to freeze to the bone came from behind.

"Lin Zhikang, you're quite the talker."

Old Lin then realized what was happening, and he stared blankly at Cai Yan, whose pretty face was now covered in frost.

Colleagues who witnessed this couldn't help but chuckle.

Only Lao Lin was covered in sweat.

"Uh, Team Leader Cai, please listen to me. I was just talking nonsense, utter rubbish. Please."

"Gossiping and spreading rumors in the office should be punished as disrupting the studio's atmosphere, but since you're a long-time employee, I'll punish you with a day of absence. Don't let it happen again."

"Thank you, Team Leader Cai."

After Cai Yan left, Lao Lin lost the high spirits he had displayed before when he was spouting nonsense.

I almost collapsed in my seat.

Gu Huai looked at him and said, "Being punished by missing a day is like wasting that day. So why aren't you going home?"

"Get lost! If I go straight home, I don't even know if I'll still have this workstation tomorrow. You really want me dead, kid?"

"Who said that? I just reminded you, but you didn't notice."

"Why are you coughing? I thought your lungs were itchy, and I was thinking of going out for another smoke, but never mind."

This little incident wasn't entirely useless to Gu Huai.

At least during work hours, you basically don't hear anyone talking about these kinds of gossip.

I ran into Minister Qian while having lunch in the cafeteria.

Gu Huai hadn't taken it seriously at first, but he didn't expect the other party to remember him.

He even specifically asked about his work progress. Of course, Gu Huai couldn't say that there was actually no progress at all; his superiors didn't like hearing that.

He wants to see the situation developing steadily and positively, doesn't want you to take risks, and at the same time wants to see the benefits.

Gu Huai could only laugh it off, saying that he already had a plan and was currently screening more suitable personnel.

They barely ate any food, but they chatted until they were covered in sweat.

Minister Qian had just left when Gu Huai, preparing to vent his frustrations at lunch, saw Zhong Xinyang chatting and laughing with their group's 'new colleagues.' The scene was somewhat surreal.

It's as if I'm seeing that spirited Zhong Xinyang again; everything is just like when he first came to the company.

That's why they say people thrive when they move, but trees die when they move.

As Zhong Xinyang was smiling, he seemed to sense someone watching him and turned his head to meet Gu Huai's gaze.

Gu Huai blinked kindly and waved his hand.

A friendly greeting.

Zhong Xinyang immediately frowned, clenched his teeth, and turned his head away from Gu Huai.

You see, it's hard for people in difficult situations not to be petty; only those in advantageous positions are qualified to be generous.

However, Gu Huai was quite pleased with the meal.

Gu Huai usually feels a little dizzy after meals, so he simply chooses to rest at his workstation, either lying on the table or putting two chairs together to rest.

However, perhaps due to the recent increase in his stats, Gu Huai did not feel sleepy; it was as if he had inexhaustible energy hidden within his body.

I remembered what Cai Yan said to me during the mock exam—'Good luck on the placement exam, you idiot.'

Let's take another look at the question.

"Why are you looking at high school questions?"

Perhaps because he was too focused on looking, Gu Huai did not sense the other person's approach. When he turned his head, he saw Cai Yan slightly bent over, her cold and beautiful face not far from him.

Up close, it seemed I could clearly see the curl of each of her eyelashes.

Gu Huai turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, still feeling a little uncomfortable being so close to Cai Yan in real life.

It feels like simulation and reality are not interconnected, which is a good thing, since confusion can lead to getting lost.

"Ah, I was just bored, and I happened to come across this. I was just browsing to see if you, Team Leader Cai, aren't you taking a break?"

Gu Huai quickly turned off the video and found a reasonably acceptable explanation.

Cai Yan didn't seem to think much of it, probably assuming that this man was just that strange and would do things that others couldn't even imagine.

"Let's not rest. You didn't take a nap either, so let's just go."

"So fast?"

"The sooner you resolve this, the sooner you'll feel at ease. Do you think you'll be comfortable keeping this bottled up inside?"

Gu Huai smiled wryly, "I'm the kind of person who, even during summer vacation when I was in school, would lose my fun just thinking about not having done any of my summer homework."

Anxiety and worrying are minor flaws that Gu Huai has always had.

He couldn't just let things slide and go off to have fun without finishing his important business.

Cai Yan nodded. "That's it. Let's go to the parking lot."

"You drove here?"

"Ah."

The two of them went downstairs together.

Arriving at the parking lot, there was the BMW that Cai Yi had specially driven Cai Yan to work. Wait, why didn't I see her drive here this morning?
However, when she arrived at the car, Cai Yan did not rush to get into the driver's seat.

Instead, she looked at Gu Huai.

"I remember you have a driver's license, right?"

Yes, it exists.

"Then go ahead."

"I?!"

"Of course I don't have a driver's license, have you forgotten?"

Cai Yan glared at Gu Huai with annoyance.

Gu Huai was taken aback. "How did that car get here? Did it come by itself?"

"Nonsense, of course I asked my brother to drive it here." He said this as he naturally got into the passenger seat.

Having no other choice, Gu Huai opened the driver's side door, got in, and carefully fastened his seatbelt while looking at Cai Yan.

"I haven't driven much since I got my driver's license, just in case..."

Cai Yan seemed somewhat tired, and closed her eyes as soon as she fastened her seatbelt.
