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

Chapter 12 Their mud was full of thorns
To be honest, Gu Huai never expected Cai Yan to appear at this time.

He even felt that after he said those words, the girl who had captivated countless boys during his high school years and embodied the concept of "white moonlight" would never have any further contact with him.

But at that moment, she appeared in front of him riding a white ghost fire.

how to say.

There are no unparalleled heroes in life who ride on colorful clouds.

But Cai Yan, who appeared in front of him riding a will-o'-the-wisp and told him to get on the bus quickly, was even more absurd than a character from A Chinese Odyssey.

She stared intently at herself, while the thugs, who were temporarily intimidated, seemed somewhat confused about the situation.

Who is this girl? What's she doing here? She's fucking gorgeous!

Good looks can indeed have a temporary, dramatic effect.

But Gu Huai didn't have time to think about or appreciate the resolute look in her eyes at that moment.

He thought, give me ten more minutes, and I must use every word I have to describe that look, that face, and her unparalleled charm at this moment, a charm that rivals a miracle.

He could only quickly approach Cai Yan and then straddle the carriage.

Their bodies inevitably came into contact, but Cai Yan was more poised and unconcerned than she had expected. She simply turned the handle, the ghost fire started up again, and she drove forward.

The people behind also realized what was happening.

"Damn it! Chase him! They're in cahoots, get them!!"

Gu Huai didn't have time to appreciate the delicate fragrance of the other person's hair fluttering in the wind and reaching his nose.

They also couldn't see how brilliant the clouds on the horizon were, which were gradually being burned by the flames.

There was no time to ask Cai Yan why she appeared at this time.

He could only continue with his own plans.

"Don't turn, keep driving straight, it's just up the street!"

"Why?!"

Cai Yan's voice trembled slightly, indicating that she wasn't entirely calm, but thankfully, the will-o'-the-wisp was activated without any problems.

"Just listen to me, I'll take responsibility."

Gu Huai said in a deep voice.

Instead of placing his hand on the other person's waist, and taking advantage of the situation, he placed it behind his own buttocks to stabilize his center of gravity.

"You're in charge my ass! You almost got caught, and it's my fault!"

"We'll talk about thanks later. Now, just listen to me."

"Whatever you want!"

The girl drove forward.

Because the street was straight and long, the thugs could clearly see which way they were going.

Enraged, Zhang Xun ignored everything else and yelled, "Damn it, chase them! They're right there, they can't have gone far! Chase them!!"

It was something that should have been hopeless.

After all, chasing two wheels on two legs is a bit of a pipe dream.

However, Zhang Xun soon noticed that the conspicuous white ghost fire stopped not far away after driving for a short while, and the two of them even hurriedly turned off the engine and got out of the car, running to the left.

This made Zhang Xun extremely happy.

Is this for real? Is the battery dead? Or is there a problem with the car?

He couldn't care less about anything else; he had never been so humiliated before, and he had to get his face back!
He immediately led the few people he had called over and rushed over there. He ignored the fact that the street looked more and more familiar. He even thought that the other party was courting death.

Trying to wander aimlessly through the street where you grew up? That's like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu (a legendary swordsman).

At this moment, Zhang Xun, focused on a single thread, easily overlooked something that could actually be thought of. But the instant he led his men to turn left quickly, it was already too late.

Panting heavily, Gu Huai and Cai Yan, whose face was anxious yet breathtakingly beautiful, were not far away in the alley on the left, seemingly unable to run any further and with nowhere else to go.

Finally able to slow down, Zhang Xun held the stick in his hand and stood with his brothers.

Even if they're covered in sweat, they still have to put on what they consider to be their most ferocious and terrifying expression.

"Nowhere to run now, huh? A beauty rescuing a bear, huh? Are you two making a movie for me?!"

"Pooh!"

He even pretended to be fierce and spat to the side.

Then he raised his head, pointed the stick at the two men.

"If I don't kill you today, I'm not a Zhang!"

After saying that, he was about to walk towards the two of them. Putting aside the money issue for now, getting revenge was the priority!
Damn it, he's been around here for so long and this is the first time he's been beaten up by a high school student. How can he swallow this insult?

But he and his brother had only taken two steps.

"Clang."

Some strange sounds appeared, like something made of iron hitting the wall, a sound that was both crisp and grating.

What's even more alarming is that Zhang Xun felt an instinctive fear upon hearing this. He paused, stunned.

Then, around the corner next to Gu Huai and Cai Yan.

A stout-looking figure appeared.

The middle-aged man with thinning hair looked very much like Zhang Xun, whom Gu Huai later met.

Of course, this is also reasonable.

after all
"dad?!"

A man with oily grime on his face and a bicycle chain in his hand appeared in front of Gu Huai and Cai Yan.

His face didn't show much expression, but the aura he exuded was so low that it almost made Zhang Xun breathless.

He knew this man very well, so he naturally understood what the man's expression meant.

Only now did he realize why Gu Huai had chosen to get off at this spot, even though they could have escaped on the will-o'-the-wisp.

Why am I so familiar with this place?

Why.
Because this is where my father works!
It's a place he never wants to come to!

"You still remember your surname is Zhang, right?"

The man holding the chain stared at his son with a livid face.

Even though he was no longer as energetic and robust as he had been in his youth, and his physique had changed, the shadow rooted in Zhang Xun's heart seemed to extend infinitely with his appearance.

His legs went weak instantly, as if he was about to collapse.

That arrogant face from just moments ago had turned deathly pale, and his lips were dry and chapped.

"I...Dad, listen to me, I..."

"These people are your friends? You're pretty impressive, aren't you? Are you trying to become a gang leader?"

The man's sarcastic remarks made the people around Zhang Xun react quickly.

They looked at Zhang Xun with some hesitation. After all, it was Zhang Xun who had called them over, and no one had told them about this situation. Why was this episode about father and son recognizing each other being included?

Isn't it a rule of the underworld that fights don't involve family members? Of course, this so-called rule is something they got from watching TV.

"Brother Xun, we..."

"Go, let's go!"

Zhang Xun shouted in a low voice.

So the group looked at each other, and then, quite in unison, turned and ran at the same moment.

In an instant, only these four people remained on the scene.

Trembling and pale-faced, Zhang Xun couldn't care less about Gu Huai anymore. He could only watch as his father approached, holding the chain that had terrified him for so many years.

His expression even became pleading.

"Dad, listen to me, it's not what you think. I... he and I..."

"Snapped!"

"what!!"

Screams echoed through the alley.

Zhang Xun almost instantly collapsed onto the wall, his body convulsing and twitching as if insects were crawling all over him.

This chain of events is painful for Gu Huai to watch.

Do people really use this thing to hit their children? Oh, it's quite common in Jicheng.

This is an educational approach that many people in later generations did not experience.

Zhang Xun's father slapped him repeatedly. At first, Zhang Xun could still stand, but later he screamed and rolled on the ground.

"Instead of studying properly, you're out hanging around all day!"

"I work so hard to earn money so that you can extort others and act like a gangster boss!"

"I should beat you to death, you beast!"

"Even your mother doesn't want you anymore, and you're still a disappointment! You just mess around! You just mess around for me!!"

The sunset is like blood.

There was some sympathy in Gu Huai's eyes, but not much.

Looking at Zhang Xun rolling on the ground, my memory overlapped with when I ran into him on the street.

He will have children later and live what he considers a happy life.

But what about yourself?
Nearly thirty years of my life have been spent wallowing in this enormous quagmire called 'fate'.

The thorns that lashed at him never allowed him a moment's respite.
