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

Chapter 19 Still saying you don't know me?
Xu Cheng's address was sent over a long time ago.

In fact, before Gu Huai actually refused to work overtime in the office under the pretext of a blind date, he was repeatedly considering whether he could refuse the meeting.

It seems that some bad habits that I had forgotten for a long time have returned to my world.

For example, you might agree to someone's request without thinking it through, only to find that you can't help them at all. You're afraid to do it, but you can't think of any reason to refuse, so you're stuck in a tormenting internal struggle.

The main reason is that Gu Huai really doesn't have much experience with women. He's been like this since he was in school. Of course, he'll pay attention to beautiful girls, but he usually doesn't have any interaction with them.

This time, he's meeting someone he doesn't know at all, someone he probably doesn't recognize either. Although Xu Cheng sent out his photo and the other person said they knew him, Gu Huai felt the probability was very low.

Did he see the photo and think he was her ideal type? He thought the probability of that was even lower.

I'm not a handsome man, much less a stylish man, and there's no Maybach or Porsche in the photos.

Immortal jump?
This seems to be the highest probability, and there's also the possibility that the other party mistook you for someone else.

However, given the names, it's probably impossible.

do not care.

Gu Huai finished smoking his last cigarette outside the company and threw the empty cigarette pack into the trash can.

It's like making a firm decision to discard your only remaining concerns.

"Just meet them, then politely find an excuse to leave."

And so it was happily decided.

Gu Huai had never even considered the possibility of a romantic love story unfolding after an accidental meeting, like in TV dramas or novels.

If such a thing were to happen, he would immediately buy ten lottery tickets. Who knows which one has the lower probability?

The restaurant is indeed very close to my company.

You can see it after crossing the street and turning the corner.

The restaurant has a distinctly European style. Even the waiters seen through the glass window are dressed in suits. The dishes served are small in portion but exquisitely presented, and they must be quite expensive.

Hmm? Could it be some kind of bar scam?

Gu Huai suddenly thought of something before entering the room.

Forget it, I'm not going to sit down and eat a single bite of food anyway.

"Hello sir, do you have a reservation or not?"

As I entered, a polite waiter greeted me with a smile.

"It seems we reserved table number 8."

Gu Huai looked at the message Xu Cheng sent on his phone. Hmm, the restaurant name is correct, the address is correct, there should be no problem.

The waiter looked somewhat surprised and carefully observed Gu Huai from head to toe.

Gu Huai asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

The waiter quickly shook his head, "No, no problem. It's just that your girlfriend has already arrived, she's very beautiful, I envy your good fortune, sir."

Is she beautiful? Are you envious of your own good fortune?
This strange explanation made Gu Huai forget to refute that the other person was not his girlfriend, and that they had never even met.

"Please come with me."

Before Gu Huai could even consider the veracity of the other party's words, the waiter began to lead the way.

Following behind the other person seemed to alleviate his embarrassment. However, this inexplicable feeling, like going to a rendezvous, still made his chest feel tense and tight.

Gu Huai didn't even notice when the waiter stopped, and almost bumped into the waiter's back.

"Okay, this is the place. To order, you can ask the waiter to show you the menu, or you can scan the QR code to place your order."

Gu Huai stopped walking and looked away when the other person said those words.

It was a sweltering summer evening, and the sun was setting outside.

The orange-red light overshadowed the red light on the road, and pedestrians outside hurried along, their brows covered in sweat.

In the air-conditioned restaurant, soothing and melodious soul music was playing.

Gu Huai's gaze began to focus.

It's hard to say exactly how this short distance affected his mental state; it's probably that he made up his mind and prepared himself, only to have it so easily shattered by such a face.

It was a light blue short skirt.

Most of them have no need to cover up, nor do they need to; their skin is excessively fair and delicate.

The legs were bent below the edge of the table, but even a quick glance revealed just how straight, long, and slender they were.

Like an ivory carving.

The owner of all these beautiful things slightly raised his head and met Gu Huai's gaze.

She smiled, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Her hair, though still slightly curled and dyed, was quite smooth, adding to her elegant beauty on her delicate face.

Gu Huai was very suspicious.

My own life, over the past twenty-eight years.

I've never had any contact with beautiful women before, so how come two of them appeared in such a short time after that day?
One of them is Cai Yan, who is cold, domineering, and exudes an aura of power.

This person exudes an aura of intellect, elegance, and gentleness.

Especially a perfectly timed and measured smile can almost instantly win a man's favor.

Gu Huai's hasty preparations and attempts to apologize and leave in a hurry crumbled completely, like a carefully constructed city wall being smashed to pieces by a tank.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this woman is a tank type.

"get off work?"

Just as Gu Huai was still hesitating about how to start a conversation with such a face, the other party uttered these opening remarks.

Some surprises.

It wasn't 'Hello,' nor 'Gu Huai?'

Instead, it's "Are you off work?"—it's like the natural greeting your wife would give you when you get off work. Maybe it's because I've been single for too long that I'm getting this strange sense of déjà vu.

Gu Huai forced a smile. "Hmm, you didn't have to wait long, did you?"

The woman smiled and nodded. "I just arrived too."

Such words are ambiguous and difficult to discern as true or false. However, I shouldn't feel guilty about it, since I was kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Just because someone is pretty doesn't mean you should take on all the responsibility. You're not exactly a pushover yourself.

Gu Huai politely sat down opposite him.

The other person's gaze was fixed on him boldly, seemingly without the slightest abnormality. But this was too strange; why would someone looking at a stranger like that upon first meeting?

Gu Huai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hello, my name is Gu Huai."

"I know."

"Uh, actually the person you were chatting with on Douyin wasn't me. It was my friend."

He wanted to get straight to the point and not waste time, so he immediately began to explain.

But the other person shook their head, "I don't care about that, because what I saw was your photo."

"Is my photo special?"

Gu Huai asked hesitantly.

The woman, though young, was already quite mature and laughed.

It looks like a mountain I loved to see when I was a child, suddenly covered in beautiful flowers.

Do you want me to compliment your looks?

She asked with a smile, resting her elbow on the table, her slender, beautiful hand gently supporting her cheek.

It doesn't involve too much force to make the cheeks sink in, but this slight, undulating motion is like a caress, which is very pleasing to the eye.

It even made my mouth dry.

"That's absolutely not what I meant. Xu Cheng just said you know me, but I don't seem to remember knowing you."

Gu Huai steadied himself and tried his best to calmly say what he had prepared in advance.

Indeed, it didn't feel familiar at all.

But if this woman is a con artist, it's probably quite upsetting.

He was prepared to never set foot in what was either a garden or a swamp.

Her gaze seemed to suddenly shift away from her own face as if she had noticed something.

Gu Huai followed her gaze but saw nothing.

"what happened?"

"Well, it's okay."

The woman turned her head back, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Then he spoke in that extremely pleasant voice.

"Jicheng. Glass factory staff residential area."

"Ok?"

"Eight buildings."

"."

"Unit 2, third floor, 305."

As she spoke, word by word, Gu Huai's eyes widened uncontrollably.

"how do you know"

This is the address of my hometown!

It's even accurate down to the building number, unit number, and apartment number!
How can this be?

How could a woman he was meeting for the first time know so much about him? Xu Cheng didn't even know!
"How did you know?"

Gu Huai asked.

The woman casually took a sip of water.

There were no lipstick marks left on the cup.

"How about you take a guess?"

"You have superpowers."

Gu Huai said it with absolute certainty.

"Pfft. Hahaha, how can you be so funny?"

Perhaps because Gu Huai's expression was too serious, the woman couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Huai sighed softly, "If I don't think this way, it's hard for me to convince myself. What reason do you have to know this, when it's clearly our first time?"

"Let me introduce myself, Lin Jiang."

"."

"Still saying it's our first meeting? Still saying we don't know each other?"

Looking at Gu Huai's dazed expression.

The woman's eyes clearly showed enjoyment.
