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

Although Gu Huai caught him flirting with a girl, Xu Cheng still shamelessly asked Gu Huai to go drinking with him.

Since it was still early, Gu Huai, who was indeed looking forward to a couple of drinks, agreed.

It was at that familiar bar, which was very close to both of their companies, on a day when both of them were off work, which felt strangely absurd.

Of course, Gu Huai didn't tell Xu Cheng that another woman had found him before he did.

Otherwise, given this man's loud and boisterous personality, he would probably have spread the word to the whole world.

"I really didn't expect this. You should look at someone with new eyes after three days of separation. He's so damn handsome!"

Xu Cheng, who is adept at using exaggeration, can make praising people particularly unbearable.

Having already drunk more than half a glass of martini, Gu Huai said irritably, "It's not that exaggerated. I just did what I was supposed to do before."

"Indeed, I disliked that idiot Jiahe back in college. But what can we do when we're in the same dorm and class? He's always pretending to be something he's not. I remember during military training, we cleaned the toilets together, turning them upside down, and he didn't do a single thing. But when it came to awards, he would go up and ask for credit."

There's much more to say about Jiahe's numerous misdeeds, but Gu Huai can't recall most of it. It's not that he chose reconciliation, but rather that people tend to subconsciously ignore things they can't handle. Like a traumatized person, they forget the memory that triggered it.

"So, we should have done this a long time ago, but I was too cowardly back then and couldn't understand why this kind of thing would still happen now."

Watching Gu Huai take a sip of wine, Xu Cheng smiled, shook his head, and lit a cigarette.

"Don't say that. Even now, many people who dislike him wouldn't dare to say it. But you did it, and that's amazing. At least to me, you're so damn cool."

Gu Huai smiled wryly, "It's probably because I really didn't have any concerns. I'm rather selfish and don't care about these friendships, which is why I did it."

"That's not how it is." Xu Cheng looked at Gu Huai and said clearly, "Who really cares about so-called classmate feelings? Even brothers fighting among themselves is common, let alone classmates? It's just that everyone is concerned about their own interests. They think that they will see each other again, and they think that if their classmate is doing so well, he might be able to help them in the future. Having more friends means having more options. That's why people like to say that harmony brings wealth."

He scoffed.

Whether it makes money or not, I don't know, but after a while, everyone was so harmonious that they didn't know how to overturn the table to express their dissatisfaction.

"Maybe."

Gu Huai was drinking. He didn't have to go to work tomorrow, which meant it was a night he could have a hangover.

The slightly tipsy state clearly makes one somewhat dissatisfied.

"But I feel like you've changed a lot lately. What happened? Did you suddenly become more enlightened?"

Sure enough, her changes triggered a change in Xu Cheng. This was to be expected, since this man was the only one who truly understood her.

Gu Huai just smiled and said, "Maybe the insomnia during that period really drove me crazy. I realized that the worst thing in life is death, so I wanted to live a little more comfortably."

"Wow, I thought it was like those online novels where a system suddenly appears out of nowhere and assigns you tasks."

Xu Cheng's joke made Gu Huai's heart skip a beat.

It really is a system that fell from the sky. No, it didn't fall from the sky, isn't this the sleep pod you sent?

But of course he couldn't say that. He just looked at the other person with amusement and said, "Don't worry, with such a good thing happening, I will never forget you. I'll drag you down with me to get rich, even if it kills me."

"Getting rich is fine, but don't drag me down with you when you die."

"Hahaha, cheers!"

Yes.

I really can't take the system for granted. Besides changing my own life, it might also help people around me like Xu Cheng.

Although this rich and good-looking bastard might not really need my help.

As he was drinking, his phone rang, and Gu Huai took it out to look at it.

It turned out to be a message from Song Xiyu. Luckily, he had made a note of her name beforehand, otherwise Gu Huai would have almost forgotten who it was.

Song Xiyu: [Gu Huai, are you alright?]

Gu Huai thought for a moment and replied: 【I'm fine.】

Song Xiyu replied almost instantly: 【That's good~ I was worried about you after you threw a tantrum in the private room, it's good that you're alright.】

Gu Huai was somewhat confused. [I was the one who swore, so I shouldn't be in any trouble, right?]

Song Xiyu: [I'm just worried about you.]

Gu Huai: ? ? ?
What kind of relationship do you have that you only care about yourself? Just then, Xu Cheng leaned over to look and laughed, "Well, it seems your heroic performance has finally won over the beauty." "Don't talk nonsense. I deleted her WeChat before, and now I don't know why she asked me to add her back."

Xu Cheng laughed and said, "Song Xiyu is no simple woman. She was known as a social butterfly back in college. You know, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. And I noticed before that she's only been working in the provincial capital for a little over a year, yet she wears Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry and carries LV bags. Where do you think she got the money to afford that?"

Gu Huai shook his head.

"This is none of my business, and I'm too lazy to speculate about others behind their backs. Don't worry, I have no interest in a woman like her. I don't even think I have anything about me that would make anyone want to deceive me. Maybe she's just after you, this rich young master."

This wasn't just a casual remark; Gu Huai genuinely doubted the possibility.

He then replied to the other party: "Thank you for your concern."

Xu Cheng shook his head. "I don't like smart women because I can't control them."

Song Xiyu replied to the message: 【Haha, you're welcome. I really thought you were really cool just now~ Feel free to contact me more often, we're both in the provincial capital, let's hang out sometime.】

There was nothing wrong with the other person's words or tone, but Gu Huai just felt they weren't very reliable, even inexplicable. It was unlikely to cause any significant stir.

Perhaps it's because I've been surrounded by women like Cai Yan, Lin Jiang, and even Xu Wenxi lately? Even wild boars can't eat bran anymore, and now they're expected to eat solid food.

[I'll definitely go if I have the chance. By the way, I have something to do, let's talk next time.]

Gu Huai never imagined that one day he would send such a message to a woman who was quite attractive, acting as if he were some kind of male god.

After replying to the message, she looked up at Xu Cheng.

"What if it's a woman who thinks she's clever?"

Xu Cheng replied with a smile, "I have a phobia of stupidity."

"You're such a bastard, hahaha."

"And who isn't?"

The two bastards drank until they were staggering before leaving.

In the taxi, my vision was somewhat blurry as I looked out at the neon lights.

They still gave Gu Huai a feeling of being very distant and unattainable, just like when he first saw the night view of the provincial capital.

Why is beauty always so cruel, something we can see but so hard to possess? It's right there in your eyes, but the moment you turn around, you're back in complete darkness.

The faces of Cai Yan and Lin Jiang naturally came to mind.

They are also a kind of neon.

No matter how much you try to convince yourself that they seem to be from a different world, the hope brought about by changes in life makes it hard not to indulge in fantasies.

Humans have expectations because they have fantasies, and they experience disappointment because they have expectations. And they feel regret because they experience disappointment.

"Om."

The phone vibrated.

Take out your phone.

The message comes from "Xi".

A single, simple word instantly reminded Gu Huai of who it was.

Xi: [Sending a message to test if you'll delete me as soon as you get home.]

Xi retracted a message.

Gu Huai: [???]

Xi: [Did you need something?]

Gu Huai: [Didn't you send the message first?]

Xi: [Which eye saw me send the message? Where's the evidence? Where's the screenshot?]

Where did this amazing person come from? Doesn't he think he's cute?!
