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

Chapter 87 I should be honored! (Please vote!)
Gu Huai was deep in thought throughout the meal.

Is it that he simply can't do anything about Cai Yan, or is it that Cai Yan is particularly good at manipulating him?

To be honest, though ever since Cai Yan came to the company, everything I've done has been pushed forward by her, as if she were an invisible force behind me.

However, most of them are well-intentioned and must be acknowledged as having helped me.

Gu Huai wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him, so he wouldn't take his banter too seriously. Most of the time, he would know when to stop, which was basically admitting defeat.

But what's so special about today that makes this woman want to drink so much?

Gu Huai wasn't quite sure.

I am now enjoying the meal in front of me with great satisfaction.

"Does the taste suit your palate?"

Gu Huai didn't forget to ask a question.

Cai Yan nodded. "It's not bad. Although there are quite a few seasonings, it doesn't feel too greasy, and the ingredients are quite fresh."

"That's fine then. I thought you wouldn't like it."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can only eat at high-end restaurants? Maybe you admire me too much and subconsciously think of me as an unapproachable aristocrat."

Gu Huai stared in astonishment at the woman whose skin had become so thick.

How could you say such a thing?
"It's not like I haven't seen you eat in the cafeteria before. What kind of noble eats in the cafeteria?"

Cai Yan picked up some rice from her bowl, glanced up at Gu Huai, and showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Even if you're used to eating delicacies, you should still share the joy with the people. What's so surprising?"

"Am I surprised? Cai Yan, you're much more shameless than me."

Cai Yan glared at him and said in a mocking tone, "Is it something you can call me by my name?"

Gu Huai didn't indulge her either, "You yourself said that I could call you by your name in private."

"Hmph, you do remember that." Cai Yan snorted and continued eating.

"That's right, my memory is never wrong, okay?"

"If you don't believe me, what's my birthday?"

Cai Yan only said that in retort; she didn't think Gu Huai would remember at all. After all, who would remember the birthday of an old classmate they hadn't seen for years? That's ridiculous.

But to his surprise, Gu Huai blurted out...

"August 27."

"."

Cai Yan stopped chewing on her chopsticks.

She looked up at Gu Huai in surprise.

The man who blurted out the words was stunned. It was his instinctive reaction. He remembered because the last simulation was the other person's birthday. How could he not remember?
But wouldn't saying this now be a bit easy for people to misunderstand?

Cai Yan's expression was blank, and so was Gu Huai's.

Two people who were clearly eating a meal suddenly looked up and stared at each other. The scene became somewhat eerie for a moment.

"how do you know?"

Cai Yan truly couldn't understand why he remembered it.

Because of what?
Could it be that he has been holding a grudge against me all these years, the kind of man who seems indifferent to everything but has actually been secretly thinking about me for nearly ten years?

They're performing "Hard to Coax" right here!

Gu Huai's heart was pounding in his throat; he realized that this problem was difficult to explain.

Guess?

Why don't you also guess what time they were born? If you guessed that accurately, are you a fortune teller?

How to do how to do?
Just as the other person's gaze became increasingly strange, it seemed that the increased intelligence of 60 came into play. Of course, it's also possible that when people are in dire straits, they will jump over the wall.

He quickly said.

"You won't believe it, but I checked QQ yesterday out of boredom, and my QQ email notified me of a friend's upcoming birthday. I looked and it was you! The date was October 27th."

In fact, Gu Huai didn't know exactly how close the birthday reminder function for friends would be.

But indeed, it's getting close to Cai Yan's birthday.

"It should be acceptable, right?" He looked at the other person's expression with some nervousness.

Cai Yan frowned. "Is there such an outrageous reason? They even sent it via QQ email?"

"What other reason could there be? Do I have such a good memory? Or have I remembered your birthday for almost ten years? Do I look like such a devoted person? Even if it's a crush, there's a limit, isn't there?"

By expressing the other party's doubts, you appear to be honest and leave them speechless!
Gu Huai hadn't expected to perform so exceptionally well. It seems people are always pushed to their limits, isn't it? Something seems off.

"Who said you were secretly in love? Get lost!"

Cai Yan's cheeks turned red.

I never expected him to say what I suspected so directly. It seems like he shouldn't have the courage, so is he really innocent?

I don't know, but my heart is a little unsettled, and even my heartbeat is off.

Gu Huai was certainly aware of the change in atmosphere, but it was already quite difficult to keep himself from giving himself away, so how could he possibly have the energy to create a better atmosphere?
When they both put down their chopsticks, they didn't say a word during that time, and even eye contact seemed to be deliberately avoided.

Is ruining a good atmosphere one of my talents?

It's frustrating, but there seems to be no other way.

Gu Huai put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but look across at the person opposite him.

Cai Yan met Gu Huai's gaze, and her face flushed slightly, looking somewhat unnatural.

"Eat and leave, why are you looking at me?"

"Oh, I'll go pay the bill."

Gu Huai went in to pay the bill. The prices at this small restaurant were naturally cheaper. Although the two of them ate quite a bit, it was still more acceptable to Gu Huai than the inflated prices at the commercial street.

When I came out, I saw Cai Yan standing by the roadside, and the night wind blew down withered yellow leaves.

It will make the shop's roof rattle loudly.

It would also lift the ends of her dark hair, and the way she reached out to tuck the strands behind her ears was breathtakingly beautiful.

Looking at it from afar seems enough, but getting closer makes you feel guilty and like you're being offended.

Am I the kind of person who can stand by her side?
Whether you're a teenager or a man now, you can't help but ask yourself this question, right?

She seemed to sense the gaze behind her and turned around, only to see Gu Huai standing on the steps.

"What are you standing there for? To make yourself look taller than me?"

Gu Huai walked towards Cai Yan.

Then look at the street.

Having just experienced that awkward atmosphere, he figured there wouldn't be any further developments tonight. Should he still take her home? Or would she prefer to hire a designated driver?
As for the suggestion of drinking, that's not even a possibility right now.

Gu Huai, you're something else! You can ruin any atmosphere.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What are you laughing at by yourself? It's disgusting. Get in the car."

"Oh"

The two returned to the car, and as they fastened their seatbelts, Gu Huai hesitated for a moment before glancing at the woman beside him.

"Where is your home located?"

Cai Yan didn't even think about it, and frowned as she looked at the other person.

"Weren't we going out for drinks? Why are you in such a hurry to take me home? Is something wrong?"

"Of course I'm fine. I thought you didn't want to go for a drink anymore."

Gu Huai stepped on the gas, offering a somewhat guilty explanation.

Then the woman in the passenger seat chuckled softly, "We were talking so well, why do you suddenly not want to go? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's fickle?"

Are there any women who aren't fickle?

Of course you can't say that.

Gu Huai smiled and answered softly.

"Of course not, it's just that the atmosphere just now made me think... never mind, let's not talk about it anymore."

Seeing Gu Huai's hesitant expression, she was reminded of what had happened before.

Intuitively, she felt the reason couldn't be that simple, but it just didn't seem right no matter how she thought about it.

Gu Huai's cautious demeanor made her want to laugh a little, but you can't give a man too much of a friendly look.

Giving gifts can easily lead to arrogance. It's better to appear 'pitiful' than to act like that.

It's strange how it makes people soft-hearted.
She gave a soft hum, watching the countless neon lights begin to flash by outside the car window.

I thought I wouldn't say anything and would let him reflect on his actions.

But it seems like there's an uncontrollable instinct, just like you can't help but reach out and stroke the adorable Hakimi a couple of times.

she said softly.

"That's not your fault, but I didn't think about it that much. Actually, since you remember it so clearly, perhaps I should feel honored?"

"I should be honored. I don't even remember my parents' birthdays this clearly."

"."

I knew I shouldn't have said that, you bastard!
