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

Chapter 70 The You of the Past (Vote Requested!)

The intro had already started, and the girl holding the microphone had already sat back down in her seat.

"I asked why, and the girl texted me."

"And why did you not explain, but instead remained silent with your head down?"

I miss it. It's a classic karaoke song that I've heard many people sing, and it's also considered a somewhat difficult song.

Cai Yan handled it very well.

Her already beautiful voice made the whole song pleasant to listen to, and her technique was also up to par. However, after hearing a live performance of Lin Jiang's caliber, Gu Huai could still sense that the young girl lacked some of the emotion in the song. It was pleasant to listen to, but it couldn't penetrate the heart like Lin Jiang's performance.

Ok?
When did I become able to appreciate this kind of thing? Is it also due to the enhanced effect of the skill book?

They didn't forget that when the song ended, everyone stood up, cheered, and egged them on.

"Sounds good!"

"Wow, Yan Yan is amazing!"

"You sing so well, why don't you perform at the New Year's Eve gala?"

"Get lost, you guys are really exaggerating."

It was clear that Cai Yan was still a little shy. When she met Gu Huai's smiling gaze, she couldn't help but give him a small glare.

Gu Huai didn't glare back; he just found it cute.

Who ordered the cake?

Just then, the deliveryman opened the door to the private room and brought the essential items for a birthday celebration.

Cai Yan looked at the girl beside her with surprise and delight, "You even prepared this?"

Lulu laughed and said, "Of course I'd prepare something for you! It's not someone else's birthday, it's yours!"

"Sending gifts and cakes, is that too much money?"

"Come on~ You're worried about that for me? Hurry up, let's cut the cake first~"

The crowd then escorted Cai Yan toward the cake.

Gu Huai didn't think anything of it at the time, until he heard Chen Pinyan's somewhat sinister voice from the side, which sounded like the stereotypical sinister laugh of a villain in a TV series.

You didn't bring anything?

Gu Huai turned to look at him, "What are you bringing?"

"Gifts," Chen Pinyan said matter-of-factly, "Everyone brought gifts, and I gave them all."

What did you send?

"A crystal ball."

"."

Cai Yan's previous complaint was indeed correct; high school boys do lack imagination when it comes to giving gifts.

However, Gu Huai turned his head and saw some wrapped gifts piled up in the corner of the sofa. It seemed that in this sense, he had indeed become unique.

"Gu Huai, you're really shameless."

It seemed that Chen Pinyan had finally found an angle to suppress the boy, and she smiled smugly. Gu Huai touched his pocket, but did not reach inside.

Instead, he smiled and said, "I guess I really am that kind of person."

"What are you two talking about? Time to eat the cake!"

As they urged him on, Chen Pinyan watched Gu Huai walk past so openly and honestly, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Surrounded by people, Cai Yan was given a simple 'crown'.

The cake, adorned with candles bearing the number '18, was perfectly intact, and she solemnly clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

Unlike most people, Gu Huai did not appreciate how delicate and radiant his face was in the candlelight.

He wondered what wish Cai Yan would make on this day when she turned 18. And would the real Cai Yan still remember this day?
"Whoo~"

She gently blew out the candle.

"Time for cake!"

"No fighting allowed! You'll ruin my makeup and I'll kill you all!"

When cutting the cake, Cai Yan specifically reminded Gu Huai that he indeed disliked cake fights. While a seemingly harmonious atmosphere might be a way to create a fun environment, not everyone enjoys having sticky treats smeared in their face.

Everyone took the sliced ​​cake, but then discovered that one person's portion was missing.

Is one piece missing?

Lulu noticed it immediately.

Cai Yan looked up somewhat awkwardly, "How about..."

Gu Huai knew what she wanted to say, so before she could 'sacrifice' herself, he spoke up first.

"I don't need it, I have diabetes."

"what?"

This remark drew everyone's attention, and Cai Yan immediately burst out laughing, "Are you crazy? How old are you to have diabetes?"

Sure enough, she understands her own little sense of humor.

But wouldn't the people around her take it seriously? Chen Pinyan was practically beaming with joy.

"But I ate before I came, so I really don't need to eat. You guys eat."

Before Cai Yan could refuse, Gu Huai returned to his seat, and it seemed that Chen Pinyan's hushed muttering could still be heard. "It's true that one shouldn't eat cake empty-handed."

"Chen Pinyan, why do you talk more than the girls?"

Cai Yan turned her gaze back to Chen Pinyan.

Chen Pinyan was stunned for a moment, "Me?"

Cai Yan ignored him and instead took the last piece of cake and walked towards the boy who had already taken out his phone while seated.

She simply placed the cake in front of Gu Huai. Seeing the boy look up, before he could ask, the girl tilted her head slightly to show off her slender neck.

"I'm on a diet recently, so I don't eat such sweet things. You can have it."

Gu Huai smiled as he looked at the still proud girl, "Your reason is not funny at all."

Both sides could see the other's humility. To be honest, this wasn't life-saving food, nor was it particularly precious. It only held special significance on this particular day.

Gu Huai didn't want her to miss out on cake on her birthday, but what about her?

The girl stood lightly not far from Gu Huai, at a distance where they could talk but not be too intimate.

"Didn't you say you'd listen to me on your birthday? You didn't keep your word."

Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh as he picked up the cake, saying, "It's a bit much that you don't have cake on your birthday."

"What's so excessive? Everyone has a birthday every year, and everyone gets a cake every year. Does anyone expect to have a perfect celebration of every single holiday? Just eat what's offered."

"Fine, I can't argue with you."

Gu Huai picked up the cake and started eating. The portion was quite small, so he could finish it in a few bites.

Watching Gu Huai eat the cake, Cai Yan really wanted to laugh at him for eating so fast like a starving ghost. But when it came to her lips, she hesitated for some reason and didn't say it.

She didn't even know what to say at that moment.

He definitely looks better than before, like he's just blossomed at this age. He's the kind of person whose looks grow on you.
But I've seen plenty of handsome men, and none of them are like him.
"Huh? The you from back then? Who ordered this?"

Some people noticed that the song on the screen had been changed, seemingly selected using a mobile phone, and the WeChat name appeared somewhat unfamiliar.

"People are singing such old songs? Whose niche treasures are these?"

Cai Yan hadn't been listening to any of this until she saw the boy slowly putting the cake he'd finished eating into the trash can, then getting up and wiping his hands with a tissue.

He smiled and extended his hand to the girl holding the microphone.

"My song".

Cai Yan was stunned, somewhat unable to believe that this boy, who always needed her to bail him out, had actually chosen a song on his own initiative?
"Your song?"

As Gu Huai took the microphone, he looked at Cai Yan with a bright and sunny smile, "That's right. We didn't bring any gifts, so we should definitely give something. Let's make a fool of ourselves."

He sat down with the microphone in his hand.

Looking at the screen, it's as if he's looking down on everything.

I felt a little nervous, but not much. After all, I could comfort myself by saying it was just a simulation. It didn't matter if I made a fool of myself. Would my buddy be laughing at me again when he came online next time?
As I gripped the microphone, I could almost hear my own heartbeat.

And then there's Chen Pinyan, "pretending to be something she's not, let's see what kind of nonsense she's singing."

It seems that because Gu Huai has never had such a moment before, many people are curious about what kind of song he will sing.

The private room was so quiet it was almost unbearable, but that didn't really matter.

When I saw the first line of lyrics, a surge of emotions naturally welled up within me. It seemed like a mistake I had never even considered.

It's just that I actually wanted to use a song to express certain emotions.

He once thought that the mouth that would never speak into a microphone had opened its mouth.

"I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world."

The process of growing up is like overcoming a series of hurdles. Even if the current situation is not ideal, there is always hope for the future.

The confusion of elementary school, the rebellion of junior high, the bewilderment of high school, and finally the trepidation and eagerness of university.

"A young heart is always a bit reckless, and now you call the world your home."

But those hopes and fantasies will be shattered by the harsh realities of life, making you realize that the world after you grow up is no different. Tomorrow will still come, the sun will still rise, but the current situation seems to be trapped in a vicious cycle, day after day, year after year, with nowhere to go.

Gradually, Gu Huai could no longer see the lyrics, nor could he hear whether people were talking about his singing.

All he knew was that his emotions seemed to be embodied in these lyrics. Any potential shame or embarrassment paled in comparison to the surging waves in his chest.

The girl who once broke your heart has now vanished without a trace. Love always makes you yearn for it yet also causes you distress; it once left you battered and bruised.

At the height of my emotions, I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't care less about anything else.

All I could think about was the image of myself chasing after Zhang Xun, and the rush of blood to my head the moment I flipped the table.

The moment those seemingly impossible scenes finally came true, it was as if someone fired a celebratory salute for him.

then.

“Di!”

Emotions are like fireworks rising into the sky, blooming in the deep sea.

explosion.

Then the voice cracked.
