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

Chapter 69 Open Your Mouth! (Seeking votes~)

As soon as the door to the private room opened, music and laughter poured out.

Gu Huai followed Cai Yan inside.

Then I saw some familiar faces, men and women, seven or eight people in total.

There were more girls than boys. Besides myself, who had just arrived, the only other boys were Chen Pinyan and a classmate sitting next to another girl who seemed quite intimate with her. I don't remember them well; I think their name was Zhang Qicheng.

As soon as Gu Huai entered, Cai Yan's friend couldn't help but smile and tease the two of them, "So that's who came, and they even went out to greet us personally. It's Gu Huai!"

"Gu Huai looks so handsome today? He came prepared, didn't he?"

"I have to say, is this Gu Huai? I almost didn't recognize him! He's quite handsome, Gu Huai."

This whole situation made Gu Huai a little embarrassed. After all, it wasn't just polite talk anymore; his charm was really working.

They didn't have time to care about Cai Yan's current situation.

"Lulu, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Oh my, murder to cover it up~ Hey hey hey, don't come any closer, I won't say it, I won't say it!"

The girls, fooling around without any regard for their image, were quite a sight to behold. Gu Huai didn't offer any special help or explanation, which seemed rather deliberate. Looking at the seating arrangement, it seemed she could only sit next to a boy. The girl next to Zhang Qicheng was probably his girlfriend, so she didn't feel comfortable going over there.

then
What are you doing sitting here?

Chen Pinyan seemed somewhat afraid of Gu Huai's approach, whether because she was still scared of him after being tricked by him last time or something else.

Gu Huai looked at him, "Why don't you sit here and sit on my lap?"

"I don't do that kind of thing, don't give me that."

Chen Pinyan shrank back.

It's kind of funny to look at.

It turns out that even those who are good at being assertive and bullying others can be so docile.

Of course, this is on the premise that you have more guts than him.

Just then, a waiter came to the private room to deliver drinks, fruit platters, and snacks.

Chen Pinyan glanced at it and immediately said, "Why is it all drinks? There's not even any alcohol?"

Cai Yan glared at him, annoyed. "Are you even an adult yet, drinking alcohol?"

"Of course I'm an adult. I can book a hotel room and drink alcohol, so what? Hahaha."

He made a joke that he thought was funny, but no one laughed with him. The laughter became more and more awkward. Chen Pinyan coughed and said, "It's your birthday and you're not going to have a drink? That's so boring."

Cai Yan didn't bother with him at all. "If you want to drink, go find somewhere else to drink. I don't have any alcohol here."

"Uh, okay, okay."

Chen Pinyan can be arrogant towards others, but it seems he can't go too far with this girl.

He sat back down dejectedly, looked at Gu Huai, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Singing is still best enjoyed with a beer, don't you think?"

Gu Huai shook his head. "I don't like drinking."

Yeah, at least I don't like it at this age.

"You're boring too." Chen Pinyan sighed. After sitting for only a few seconds, she stood up again, picked up the microphone that no one had paid attention to on the table, and walked towards the song request station. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Why is no one requesting songs? Then I'll have to warm things up."

Lulu leaned close to Cai Yan's ear and whispered with a laugh, "It's like someone invited him to sing, hahaha."

Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh, but when she turned her head, she saw Gu Huai looking over at her.

She was taken aback at first, then pretended to tilt her head back.

"I've never heard you sing before, would you like to request a couple of songs?"

Gu Huai immediately shook his head, "I'll pass, I'm tone-deaf."

It's not that I'm tone-deaf, it's just that I feel I sing badly, with a somewhat plain voice. In short, I lack musical literacy and artistic talent. Didn't I buy a guitar skills book? It was supposed to improve my musical literacy.
Forget it, we can't verify it here. What if we make a huge fool of ourselves?
"Cough cough cough, hello hello hello? There's a sound."

Holding the microphone, Chen Pinyan requested the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

Zhang Qicheng stopped flirting and said with a smile, "Oh ho, you can sing Cantonese songs too?"

Chen Pinyan scoffed dismissively, "Alan Tam, Eason Chan, and Beyond are all incredibly talented, you're lucky to have such good ears."

The prelude begins.

Seeing Chen Pinyan's professional demeanor, Gu Huai really thought this guy was something special.

He's probably a KTV-level performer.

Until the very first note of the song came out.

"Follow me, lick me~ Cold Night, kill the pot-shaped pot~"

"Pfft!" "Hahahaha!"

"Killed my cousin! That's awesome, hahaha!"

The entire audience instantly lost their composure.

Gu Huai was lucky he hadn't had time to drink water yet, otherwise he would have spat it out at least five meters away.

Even Cai Yan couldn't hold back anymore; she almost laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"What kind of fake Cantonese is this? Hahahaha."

Gu Huai could tell that Chen Pinyan was already struggling to hold back after singing the first line, and he probably heard the laughter too; her hand holding the microphone was shaking.

But he pretended not to hear and kept singing the song.

Gu Huai had to admire the other person's composure; as for the others, they were laughing so hard they could barely keep their mouths shut.

After finally finishing the song, Chen Pinyan pretended to put down the microphone and said, "Was it alright? I wasn't in good shape today, my throat was a little dry, so that's fine."

"Chen Pinyan is amazing! Her Cantonese is absolutely authentic!"

"You're too kind, please sing, I'll take a break."

Chen Pinyan sat back down, wiping the sweat from her brow.

Gu Huai looked at him amusedly, "Sweating so much just from singing one song, is it really necessary?"

Chen Pin-yan said irritably, "Singing is really tiring, okay?"

"It's obvious that it takes a lot of physical effort."

Gu Huai nodded and said this.

Chen Pinyan seemed to feel that he had lost face in front of this young man. He said to Gu Huai in an annoyed tone, "If you're so capable, then sing. At least I dare to sing. You don't even dare to open your mouth, do you?"

"Ah~ Can you see the tonsils clearly?"

Gu Huai opened his mouth wide to show the other person, and Chen Pinyan's face turned red with anger.

"I meant this opening! Who the hell wants to see your tonsils! You're crazy!"

Gu Huai was unconcerned by Chen Pinyan's instigation. Did she really think she could just take the bait after being provoked? He wasn't some juvenile fish.

But just as Chen Pinyan fell silent, Cai Yan's best friend Lulu turned to the side and smiled at Gu Huai.

"It's Yan Yan's birthday today, aren't you going to do something for her?"

What am I saying?

Gu Huai asked curiously.

Lulu kept blinking. "I didn't bring a gift either. How about I sing a song for Yan Yan? Don't worry, she'll like it no matter how you sing it~"

Don't be afraid?
Just kidding, buddy, if I start singing, you guys will be the ones who are scared!

Well, Gu Huai certainly didn't want to embarrass himself, especially in such a large gathering, and it was Cai Yan's birthday, not a circus performance.

He smiled wryly and said to Lulu, "I'll pass, I really can't."

There's no story here of someone pretending to be weak to deceive others, getting provoked and then stunning everyone with their singing. Even with the help of a guitar skill book, Gu Huai doesn't think it'll turn out any more normal.

Lulu, however, seemed quite insistent.

"Oh, don't be shy. I told you it's okay if you don't sing well. Why can't you seize the opportunity?"

To be honest, I'm getting a little impatient.

Why are there so many people in this world who like to take their own ideas as the correct truth? They always think that they have considered everything from the highest perspective and are the most correct, and that not following their wishes is foolish?

Just as Gu Huai was pondering how to appropriately remind the other party that it would be best to respect their wishes,

"What are you talking about?"

Cai Yan looked over.

Lulu blinked. "It's nothing, I just wanted to hear Gu Huai sing. It's your birthday, so I had to give you a gift, right?"

Cai Yan snorted lightly, "Why should he sing? Of course I'll sing for my own birthday."

She stood up as if she really disdained Gu Huai's singing voice, and walked towards the song request stage.

But Gu Huai could clearly sense that this was her way of getting herself out of a predicament at the age of eighteen.

Come to think of it, whether it was the Zhang Xun incident or many other details, she wasn't actually a cold-hearted person. Especially her help to me was always just right and measured. Considering all this, it seemed I really should reciprocate on this day.

I'm the kind of person who has a lot of grand principles, but can't convince myself that being carefree would be better.
