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

Chapter 46, add it! (Seeking monthly votes!!)

"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic."

She greeted him apologetically.

But nobody cared about her apology, because all the cheers and exclamations turned into cheers and amazement.

"Wow, is this the beautiful Xu!"

"She should be called a major internet celebrity now, she's even prettier than she was in college!"

"A big star is here! Quickly, give me your seat!"

"Quick, quick, sit here, sit here!"

Gu Huai wasn't in the mood to marvel at the other woman's beauty, since he had just witnessed it, but seeing her now, she was indeed more impressive than the woman he had seen in college.

People don't always yearn for the innocent beauty of young girls. Indeed, as one matures, the naivety disappears, and innocence seems to vanish, but one also naturally becomes more charming and alluring.

Gu Huai lamented that, faced with a clear divide, even the most pretentious and boastful people would eventually change course and become followers who praise others.

For example, encountering an internet celebrity like Xu Wenxi who can make money, has a good reputation, and is showing an upward trend.

He made room for Xu Wenxi, but by some terrible twist of fate, she was right in front of Gu Huai, between the two women.

Gu Huai didn't want to be overly self-conscious, but inexplicably, when he looked up, he saw this woman looking at him.

Gu Huai could only look to the left and right as much as possible, but he couldn't look in front of him.

"Everyone's here, let's serve the food!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiahe instructed the waiter to serve the dishes, and after that, the meal and the events at the table seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Huai.

As Gu Huai had predicted, the conversation focused on Xu Wenxi.

How do internet celebrities make money and monetize their influence? What are the standards for vetting influencers? Is the influencer world really that chaotic?

Gu Huai wasn't particularly interested in internet celebrities. Although Xu Wenxi was right across from him and was indeed quite pleasing to the eye, Gu Huai still wasn't very interested in her. Firstly, given his own circumstances, it was impossible for him to covet her. Secondly, she didn't hold much weight in his memory; his strongest impression of her was of some painful memories.

Rather than saying he wasn't interested, it's more accurate to say that seeing her reminded Gu Huai of that unpleasant memory, making him want to escape.

Just as I was about to quietly finish my meal like a dutiful outsider and then disappear from the party, I heard a voice next to me.

"Hey, does Gu Huai still remember me?"

Gu Huai turned his head away, not really noticing. It was a young woman with obviously heavy makeup. It was clear that this was because Gu Huai worked for a cosmetics and skincare company, a slightly better situation than that of a typical straight man.

She had a distinct perfume scent and looked fairly attractive. Of course, with the increasingly advanced makeup techniques of modern times, few girls are unattractive if they are willing to dress up or even have a little money for cosmetic procedures.

It was beautiful, but Gu Huai couldn't quite remember who it was.

He could only reply apologetically and honestly, "I'm so sorry, it's been such a long time."

"Hahaha, it's okay. You're really honest. Here's a hint: we were in the same training group."

"A practical training group?"

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then an impression came to mind.

The name Song Xiyu naturally came to mind. Was it a deep impression? Of course it was! Gu Huai could not forget that nightmarish training period.

Song Xiyu is the kind of girl, how should I put it? You see a lot of similar typical girls in college.

She's the kind of girl who doesn't pay attention in class, knows nothing about what she's learned, but can talk a mile a minute about who she's met in her spare time, whether a boy knows her or not, as if she could write a book about it. Before finals, she'll deliberately try to get on good terms with boys so they can help her cheat.

To make matters worse, we were assigned to the same group for the final practical training. Good grief, she said she'd do everything I said I'd arrange, but in reality, she was just a hands-off manager. She insisted on copying my report, and I was basically responsible for everything else during the training, running around everywhere. She even had the nerve to ask me for help with her graduation defense.

It probably thinks it's a golden goose, and keeps squeezing out its eggs.

Back then, Gu Huai simply didn't know how to refuse others, especially when a girl was being affectionate and pretending to care for him. Looking back now, it was all a scheme, all a trick.

Looking at her smiling face, which seemed to have forgotten everything, Gu Huai really wanted to grab some makeup remover and rush over to smear it all over her face.

However, they were all adults, and they wouldn't bring up such old matters at this time. But before Gu Huai spoke again, he was already on guard, and even his smile had become merely polite.

"Song Xiyu?"

“I told you you should remember me.”

"Uh, you've become so much prettier, I really didn't recognize you. Sorry."

Damn it, how did I end up sitting here? Xu Cheng is with Jia He, Song Xiyu is here, and Xu Wenxi is right across from me. It feels like some inexplicable, unique formation has welded me to this spot. Can't we just finish this meal already?!
Song Xiyu seemed to enjoy the comment and covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

"I thought you only remembered Xu Wenxi."

".Why?"

Back in college, everyone said you were into Xu Wenxi.

"That's all a misunderstanding, nothing like that happened."

Gu Huai lowered his voice and said. Although it was a clarification, he still had to be careful not to let Xu Wenxi across from him hear. There had just been such an accident in the restroom, and it wouldn't be good for him to act like he was disgusted by it.

It's supposed to be a weekend for rest, so why is socializing more tiring than going to work? Gu Huai complained incessantly.

"Oh~" But upon hearing Gu Huai's explanation, Song Xiyu's eyes took on a deeper meaning.

"It seems I misunderstood."

"It's alright. Just don't mention it."

Gu Huai said helplessly.

Seeing the man's somewhat embarrassed and awkward appearance, Song Xiyu blinked.

"By the way, have you and Xu Cheng been in the provincial capital?"

"um, yes."

"Hey, I came to the provincial capital last year. I didn't know anyone there, and I should have just asked you two to team up with me. You didn't even tell me, that's so mean!"

When a smart woman says something like this, she will use a coquettish tone, making it sound more like a cute joke.

But in Gu Huai's eyes, she was simply not cute. Good grief, was she not going to tell you? Didn't you use him and then disappear without a trace? Fortunately, Gu Huai at the time had excellent defense mechanisms and didn't presume to pursue her, otherwise they would probably be enemies now.

"I'm too busy."

Gu Huai could only say that, when he saw Song Xiyu suddenly take out her phone.

"By the way, what's your ID again? It's been a long time since we last messaged each other, hasn't it?"

Hearing this, Gu Huai raised an eyebrow and immediately tried to stop the other person, "Uh, I can't quite remember this ID myself, I need to check it, or we should eat first."

"Found it!" Song Xiyu exclaimed, making an exaggerated expression as if she had discovered some treasure. Are women really that foolish? Of course not, they just know all too well how to satisfy a man's vanity.

But this wasn't the time to discuss that, because Song Xiyu had already opened the pop-up window and sent a message.

Then Gu Huai noticed a clear change in her expression.

It's like it's solidified.

He was all radiant just moments ago, but now his face is ashen, as if covered by a dark cloud.

The green light from the screen also fell on her face.

She turned her head somewhat awkwardly; it was clear she was trying hard to smile, but it looked worse than if she hadn't.

"You deleted me?"

Gu Huai looked at the other person with an innocent expression, "Huh? Really? Is it that serious?"

If you ask what I've learned after all these years of working, it's to play dumb. Especially when colleagues make unreasonable demands of you.

It was obvious that Song Xiyu's facial expression twitched, and it was this twitch that made Gu Huai subtly notice that her facial muscles were not quite natural.

She quickly adjusted her expression, clearly demonstrating her extensive social experience.

"Could it have been accidentally deleted because there was no note attached?"

She's so nice; she even came up with an excuse for herself.

Gu Huai nodded with absolute certainty, "That reminds me. It must be because of that. We don't have any grudge against each other, right?"

They didn't have any grudge yet? After that graduation internship, Gu Huai wanted to strangle her to death.

She quickly smiled and nodded.

"Okay, add it back now. I've sent the application; remember to add a note this time!"

"what?"

Really adding it?
Looking at the newly sent friend request, Gu Huai really didn't want to accept it.

Regardless of who Song Xiyu is now, Gu Huai's 'prejudice' against her is too deeply ingrained.

Why add them? What kind of interaction will we have in the future? Do they want to cause some trouble for me?
How can adults have no sense of boundaries at all?!

She just stared straight at me, her eyes seeming to say: I'd like to see if you'll add it or not.

No, she has already spoken.

"Go ahead and pass! Is it stuck?"

"."

It's stuck, the highway is blocked, we forgot to create a connection for you.
