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

Chapter 92: It's a human? (Please vote!)
Although my life hasn't been entirely upright, I've at least never done anything illegal or criminal. What does it mean to be caught?
Best friends are such annoying creatures.

Of course, I was just joking.

Even with his low emotional intelligence and lack of dating experience, Gu Huai knew that it would be a little awkward if two women of similar looks but completely different temperaments met.

However, he wasn't too guilty. After all, he was doing what he considered to be legitimate things, without any ulterior motives. Being guilty would only make him seem like he was secretly indulging in wishful thinking and playing the role of a perfect, fulfilling male lead.

"Good afternoon, Cai Yan."

Gu Huai greeted everyone in a very natural and generous manner.

This candid demeanor caught Cai Yan off guard, leaving her speechless and unable to utter a word.

"Good afternoon? Where have you been?"

She asked suspiciously.

Gu Huai said casually, "I went to the library to read for a while. What's up?"

Before Cai Yan could speak, Lulu muttered, "Do people actually go to the library to read books?"

"Go to the library to read books whenever you have free time" is something teachers often say, but few people actually do it. And it sounds even more absurd when it comes from Gu Huai, whose grades aren't very good.

Cai Yan also realized what was happening and looked at the timid little girl next to him who was silent and seemed very nervous around strangers.

Then she turned to Gu Huai and said, "You went to the library to read books? That's not like you. Did you secretly go and do something bad?"

Hearing the girl say that, Lin Jiang raised her head slightly. She seemed to think that Gu Huai had been misunderstood and wanted to help the boy explain something.

However, Gu Huai spoke faster and quite naturally, as if it were an instinctive reaction.

"Didn't you tell me to do my best in the placement exam? Is it wrong for me to try harder?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yan's eyes widened.

Lulu, who was standing next to him, thought she had done a great job stirring things up, but she was caught off guard and stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip. She looked at Gu Huai in disbelief, and then at Cai Yan, who was already blushing.

"My God, wow!"

Is that a sound that humans can make?
"You, you're talking nonsense! And you, what are you yelling about!"

Lulu looked at Cai Yan with an air of knowing everything. "It's nothing~ I just learned what I needed to know. Oh, I see~ Tsk tsk tsk, what's that saying again? 'No one supports my lofty ambitions, but my virtuous wife guides me.'"

"Shut up!! Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself!"

Cai Yan couldn't press the matter any further. She grabbed Lulu, who was still pondering the poem, and dragged her away down the corridor in a hurry, as if some clothes had been left in the classroom.

Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

Shouldn't this be considered resolved? This performance deserves a high score at the end of the settlement, right?

Turning around, he saw Lin Jiang looking at him with a somewhat strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Does he look handsome again? He hasn't even had any points added yet.

Lin Jiang, however, said in a strangely soft voice, "So, Brother Gu Huai is really good at sweet-talking girls."

Gu Huai's eyes widened. "What do you mean by deceiving me? Wasn't what I just said the truth? I was studying in the library."

Lin Jiang pouted, "Is it a narrative trick that Gu Huai was tutoring me in the library?"

trick?

Gu Huai looked at the other person with annoyance.

"I don't know if it's a trick or not, but you really have no conscience."

"Pfft, hehehe."

The girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Clearly, she wasn't taking it seriously; she was just joking with the boy in her own way.

Gu Huai knew she was joking, but her smug look was quite endearing. Gu Huai couldn't help but reach out and do something he had only ever seen or heard about but never done himself.

He patted the other person on the head.

"Eh!"

The girl, startled, covered her head and looked up at Gu Huai, her cheeks flushed and moist.

Gu Huai also realized that he seemed to have become a bit too proud and lawless.

Slightly embarrassed, he withdrew his hand and coughed twice.

"Uh, alright, class is about to start, hurry up and go upstairs. I'm practically your teacher now, so you need to show some respect from now on, okay?"

"Um"

Gu Huai tried to lighten the mood with jokes, but not knowing what the girl was thinking, she lowered her head and became a withdrawn little rabbit.

"I'm going up now. Listen carefully to the lesson, see you after school."

"Um"

We parted ways at the entrance of the building, watching the boy head to different floors.

Lin Jiang's complexion had returned to normal, but for some reason, it quickly heated up again. Because her skin was so good, even the smallest changes were exceptionally noticeable.

She hesitated before reaching out her hand, which had been hidden in her sleeve, then squinted and tried patting her head with it.

Then a slightly disappointed expression appeared on his face.

"It's different!" "Damn, isn't this a good thing? I've disliked him for a long time, all he does is show off!"

"You can't say that. I just didn't expect him to be doing these things in secret."

"I can only call it karma, damn it! Who's going to pay back the fifty he borrowed from me last week?!"

As soon as Gu Huai entered the classroom, he sensed that it was unusually lively. Well, actually, it was noisy and chaotic.

The voice was exceptionally loud; young people are just full of energy, their voices are really loud.

As Gu Huai walked to his seat, he glanced at Zhang Qicheng, who was chatting enthusiastically with someone next to him. Zhang Qicheng was the same guy who had appeared at the KTV last time.

"Zhang Qicheng, what are you talking about?"

Perhaps because of his impressive display of skill in the private room last time, Zhang Qicheng was initially annoyed at being pulled around, but upon seeing that it was Gu Huai, he immediately held his breath and widened his eyes, adopting an expression of utmost respect.

Gu Huai even thought he was going to salute him.

"Gu Huai, don't you know?"

"What do I know?"

Dude, you've gone to work? How would I know? I'm different from you guys, I have to go to work!
"Didn't you notice there's one missing person in class today?"

He's still keeping us in suspense.

Gu Huai hated people like that. Was it so hard to just say everything at once? Are you a novelist? Do you need to pad your story?
However, he still looked up and glanced over, and he did indeed notice something was wrong.

Where is Chen Pinyan?

"He transferred schools!"

"Transfer schools?" This was something Gu Huai hadn't expected. It wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but why was he even thinking about Chen Pinyan?
"That's right!" Zhang Qicheng seemed particularly excited. "The school found out about what happened last time, and they also knew about his practice of pretending to help people solve problems while actually making a profit in the process, so the school transferred him to another school. You were so capable that day, didn't you know?"

"That's it"

Gu Huai understood now.

To be honest, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This doesn't mean that my appearance changed Chen Pinyan's fate; after all, he did it himself, and it was bound to come to light eventually. So why don't I have any memories of this?

Ah. Perhaps if I hadn't gone to Cai Yan's birthday party, Chen Pinyan might not have had the nerve to shamelessly go along, and this whole thing might have developed later. After we were separated into different classes, the two of us didn't have much contact anymore, so naturally I wouldn't have known about these things.

But this is not important.

Gu Huai had no sympathy for Chen Pinyan. He was the kind of person who was quite despicable, taking advantage of the cowardice and timidity of pitiful students like himself to make a profit for himself.

Transferring schools is already considered lenient; why not sentence them to prison?
He thought darkly.

Just then, the class bell rang, and the noisy discussion in the class gradually subsided, with everyone returning to their seats.

I glanced at the timetable in the corner of the blackboard and realized it was the homeroom teacher's class. No wonder they were so well-behaved.

Teacher Wang walked onto the podium in high heels, holding the test papers in her hands.

Her cold gaze, visible even through her glasses, still exuded authority, and Gu Huai felt a sense of oppression that seemed to emanate from his very bones.

"I could hear you arguing in the hallway! What's all the noise about? Our class is the noisiest in the whole grade!"

"I don't believe it. Let's compare. I think the class next door is noisier than ours."

Gu Huai muttered something to himself.

There's nothing I can do about it; I hear this phrase almost every day, like it's part of an NPC's text.

"boom."

Teacher Wang placed the test paper heavily on the podium.

She pushed up her glasses.

"I am very dissatisfied with our class's results in this monthly exam, and you still have the nerve to joke around and fool around! I'm so angry in the office that I can't even drink water!"

"Wait a minute, when we passed by the office just now, Teacher Wang was chatting happily with that new male teacher, and he even had wrinkles showing from smiling."

"Who is speaking!!"

"."

Of course, no one admitted it, but some people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After another period of complete silence, Teacher Wang slowly began to speak.

"Although the overall grades weren't great, one classmate really surprised me. He made a surprisingly good improvement in this monthly exam. Liu Bo, why are you laughing so happily? I wasn't talking about you!"

"Who is that?"

"Hey, didn't Liu Bo say he predicted the questions correctly and did well on the test?"

"Who else has made such great progress that makes Old Wang so happy?"

"Who? It can't be me, can it?"

Amidst the murmurs and whispers.

A certain handsome guy, whose looks weren't obviously striking, had already subtly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Gu Huai! Sixth in the class, twenty-first in the whole grade!"
