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

Chapter 85 She Can See (Please vote!)

He was rubbing his thigh while driving.

strangeness.

It doesn't hurt much, but why is it inexplicably itchy? Could it be that I got athlete's foot through my pants?
Although Cai Yan seemed angry, she didn't do anything too outrageous or out of control; she kicked him and let the man go.

She really felt that if she went too far, the man might actually run away and make her find a designated driver.

There is no way.

But where would you find someone like that?
She, Xu Wenxi, is kind and a good person.

Was my attitude bad?

She's Snow White, and you're the wicked stepmother, right?!
Anyone who doesn't get angry is a god.

I've never seen such an unromantic man before; I almost laughed out of anger at him.

Looking at the road, Cai Yan asked the man who was driving quietly and without saying a word, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the company."

"Why go back to the company?"

"Where to go?"

"Find a place to eat, then take me home."

Gu Huai paused for a moment, then looked at the woman in the passenger seat who looked somewhat tired through the rearview mirror.

"Didn't you say you were going back to the company to write a plan?"

Cai Yan said irritably, "Gu Huai, do you like to create trouble for yourself? Why do you have to finish what you can do tomorrow today?"

Gu Huai smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. Since you're tired, let's go eat."

Cai Yan, on the contrary, found it strange. Looking at the other person's smiling profile and somewhat reserved appearance, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

"That's strange, shouldn't you be talking back to me at a time like this?"

Why do you talk back?

"How should I know? You've never been like this before. I thought you'd spout some nonsense when I said that."

Gu Huai smiled and said, "I don't have that many grand principles. Besides, you really did help me today. If I were to argue with you after you've worked so hard, wouldn't that seem heartless?"

The man's sudden display of understanding made Cai Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable, and she even curled her legs up slightly.

She hummed softly.

"At least you have some conscience, but I'm not helping you out; this is for my own job."

"I know, but I still have to thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of coming here today, and I wouldn't have run into my old classmate and solved the problem."

Why bring her up again! It's so annoying. She can't make anyone happy for more than two sentences.

Frustrated, she smoothed the strands of hair from her forehead.

She whispered, "Things haven't succeeded yet, the problems haven't been solved, everything depends on how the live broadcast goes on Friday."

"Yes, that's true. We can't let our guard down until the work is finished."

He sighed.

Watching the sunset grow darker on the horizon and the streetlights grow brighter.

"By the way, where would you like to eat?"

Do you have any recommendations for places to visit?

Cai Yan asked.

You might not like the place I'm eating.

"It's okay, it's a good opportunity to change things up. I can't think of anything I particularly want to eat."

"Ok."

"Why do you still look so unwilling? What kind of treasure trove needs to be hidden like this?"

Gu Huai smiled. "It's not anything particularly fancy, just a roadside restaurant run by an elderly couple. The food is quite good, with a taste of Jicheng. I'm just worried you might find the hygiene questionable."

Cai Yan glanced at Gu Huai, "I'm the woman who's eaten roadside barbecue with you, would I look down on an ordinary restaurant?"

"That's true. Team Leader Cai is indeed a very down-to-earth person."

But why did her saying, "I'm the woman who ate roadside barbecue with you," hit me so hard?

She was someone who knew how to say things that would leave a lasting impression, even unintentionally. Gu Huai even wanted to write that sentence into his diary.

Just kidding, he never keeps a diary.

But this woman, whether it's her hugs or her words, can touch people's hearts directly. "You even used the word 'down-to-earth' to describe it; you really don't know how to compliment people."

Cai Yan said with a bit of a laugh.

Gu Huai nodded, looking at the streetlights lighting up one by one on the road ahead, and the number of cars increasing.

Amidst the constant flow of people, he inexplicably felt that this was a very fulfilling day for him, at least he had accomplished something, and at least he had moved forward through his own efforts rather than being pushed along by others.

"Yeah, otherwise how come you've never been in a relationship at this age?"

Cai Yan looked at Gu Huai with dissatisfaction, "Should someone your age be ashamed of not having been in a relationship?"

Gu Huai blinked, puzzled. "Isn't that how it is in this era? Maybe it's different for you girls, but among us men, not having been in a relationship at this age is indeed something to be ashamed of."

That's not true at all.

Cai Yan spoke with conviction, then looked out the car window at the neon lights that were becoming increasingly visible. "If feelings become something that is abundant, something that can be obtained and used casually, then it is not precious at all. It is precisely because you have never been in a relationship at your age that you should feel that your feelings are precious."

Gu Huai was inexplicably moved.

indeed.

In this materialistic age, everything is trapped in a fast-paced environment.

TV dramas are watched in short episodes, videos are watched in short clips, and novels are read in three chapters to get you high. Everything is about stimulating our increasingly numb senses, forgetting how to savor the experience. Even relationships are like that.

We established a relationship today, and I can't wait to roll into bed with you that very night.

They can kiss and hug without even establishing a relationship, and holding hands is commonplace and not worth mentioning; these can all become things to brag about.

He increasingly doubted what in this world could last and what was truly precious.

Xu Cheng had said that to himself.

You're a grown man, why are you afraid of being tricked emotionally? Just don't take it seriously, treat it as a game, right?
But how can one deceive one's own heart when one can deceive oneself?
He can't become that kind of person, but he shouldn't feel sorry about it.

"There's nothing I can do, this era is too fast. I often feel like I'm about to be crushed by the wheels of this era and turned into a pile of rubble."

Cai Yan scoffed.

"Who isn't just a bunch of scum in this era? Why think about these things? Don't you think it's cool to stick to your own beliefs when everyone around you is living like this?"

"I'm not a cool person."

"That's true."

"Please don't agree so readily at this time! It's very hurtful!"

Gu Huai cracked a joke to ease the tense atmosphere that was about to become too oppressive.

Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"I've realized now that I should have gone along with you and agreed with you when you were wallowing in self-pity. That way, you'll gradually find that what you're saying is meaningless."

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."

Gu Huai remained silent for a moment before uttering these words.

It seems to have a different meaning.

"why?"

Cai Yan asked seriously as well.

We should not take advantage of someone's sincerity just because they seem insignificant or humble; after all, it is a precious thing. One should not be demeaned because of one's insignificance, nor should one be valued because of one's superiority.

So even if it's a negative, we still have to take it seriously.

Gu Huai looked ahead, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and it was clear that he was somewhat nervous.

What was he going to say? She began to look forward to it.

Then I heard his voice, which he tried to sound calm.

"Because I'm changing now, things will probably be a bit different from before."

I can't help but laugh when I hear that.

what.

Why do you say such cool things with such a hesitant and uncertain tone?
Gu Huai isn't handsome at all.

But she didn't actually laugh out loud; instead, she nodded gently.

“I know, I saw it too.”
