The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Why does everyone want to go to my place?
“Mmm.”

As Mia pressed her lips together, Sam immediately tilted his head back, creating distance between them.

The ambiguous atmosphere vanished in an instant, and the surrounding music, the pulsating drumbeats, seemed to flood back into consciousness.

“Eh… was it just a little bit off?” Callista and the other women momentarily froze, then simultaneously displayed looks of disappointment. It was as if a great show had nearly reached its climax, only to fall short at the last moment.

Even Mia seemed unaware that Sam had gently pushed her away. With a confused heart and bewildered eyes, she looked at the handsome Sam.

“I’m sorry, we lost. Mia has already drunk a lot. I’ll drink this time. After all, it’s my fault. I thought it wasn’t enough…”

What did he mean by “I thought it wasn’t enough”? Was he… taking responsibility on himself, trying to explain on her behalf?

But why… choose to separate at that moment?

Mia was puzzled.

Meanwhile, Sam had already picked up a bottle of beer and downed it in front of everyone.

He drank quickly, his movements crisp and efficient. Not everyone looks cool drinking beer straight from the bottle, but Sam seemed to exude charm with every action, leaving the women feeling as though they hadn’t seen enough.

“Sam, you…”

Mia seemed to want to stop him, but it was too late; he had already finished drinking.

After downing the bottle, Sam turned to Mia. “Mia, I think I drank a bit too much. I’m feeling dizzy. I might need to go home… Can you take me?”

Mia paused. “Ah? Really… okay, I’ll take you home… Sorry, we have to go now. I brought him out, so I have to take him home.”

With that, Mia supported Sam, who seemed barely able to walk steadily, as they left the booth step by step.

As Sam and Mia’s figures receded into the distance, the atmosphere was filled with sighs and murmurs of disappointment.

“Ah, such a pity, why did they leave so soon?”

“They barely drank for a while. Young people these days really can’t hold their liquor… All that’s left is looking good.”

“It’s such a waste. If they had kissed just now, Mia would have won him over! Such a handsome guy… Ah, it was so close.”

However, Callista shook her head, tsk-tsking in contemplation.

“It wouldn’t have been that simple even if they had kissed. This guy… seems complicated.”

“Complicated? How can you tell? Nothing even happened.”

Someone curiously asked.

Callista replied, slightly annoyed, “Before anything even happened, do you think an average guy could push Mia away at that moment? Especially when both had drunk too much and it seemed like they wouldn’t need to take responsibility for each other?”

“Eh… probably not? Which man has such strong willpower… But Mia has never played this kind of game with other men. She avoids even slightly intimate contact… Missing such a good opportunity, isn’t it foolish?”

Callista shook her head.

“That’s precisely the smart move. It might seem like taking advantage of the situation, especially since Mia was drunk and clearly had a fondness for him… but that’s all there is to it. Knowing Mia’s personality, she would definitely see him as someone who couldn’t resist temptation, an unreliable man. Instead, by pushing her away, he not only resisted the temptation but also made Mia question!”

“Question? Question what?”

“Mia might question whether she isn’t charming enough or lacks attractiveness to him. That way, whether it’s her competitive nature or unwillingness to accept it, it would evolve into something more intense! This puts the initiative in Sam’s hands, making Mia fall into a passive position. That’s why I say this young man is no simple character!”

“I see…”

The group pondered thoughtfully.

Callista sighed, shaking her head.

“Ah, I’m so envious of Mia… Why couldn’t I be the one to spar with him? What a waste! It’s such a waste!”

As she spoke, the woman picked up a bottle of beer and tilted her head back to gulp it down.

At this moment, Sam and Mia had stepped outside the bar.

“Be careful… watch your step.”

Mia, having drunk, naturally couldn’t drive. She still relatively sober, carefully supported Sam.

She noticed his steps were unsteady, as if he were truly drunk.

“Why are you so heavy… trying to act cool by drinking a whole bottle at once… You’re really too young,” Mia complained, yet her hands remained firmly around him, fearing that letting go would cause Sam to collapse right there on the bustling street.

Finally, she hailed a taxi, quickly informed the driver of their general destination, though she didn’t know exactly where Sam lived.

She remembered Sam mentioning that his home was close by, which is why he chose to work part-time at the convenience store, so it must be somewhere nearby.

The taxi slowly pulled away from the bar. Mia gently laid Sam down to rest, his head on her firm and elastic thigh. Her face flushed slightly.

Sam lay there with his eyes gently closed, as if submerged in a dream.

Quietly, without opening his eyes, without uttering a word, without stirring.

The car moved silently, driving through the seemingly endless night, heading south.

The slight sway of the taxi caused Sam’s hair to brush against her legs.

Mia sighed softly, without clear reason, then looked down at Sam, who was resting on her lap with his eyes closed.

“A whole bottle of beer and you’re drunk… Thought you were tougher.”

As she spoke, Mia couldn’t help but smile.

Then she thought back to the moment in the bar when they almost kissed… or did they? Was it really a kiss?

She wasn’t sure; it seemed the alcohol had blurred her precious memory.

She clearly remembered the touch of their lips… but then it seemed as if there was no solid sensation before they parted… What exactly did it feel like?

She had never tried kissing before.

Up to now…

It might be somewhat embarrassing to admit, but if they really did kiss, does it mean she gave her first kiss to Sam?

Mia’s cheeks suddenly flushed with color.

It wasn’t from being drunk at all.

But to lose her first kiss like this… wasn’t it too much of a pity? She hadn’t properly savored the moment, it was all so unclear…

What did it actually feel like?

But Sam was her employee! And a student!

Mia didn’t even like younger men that much…

Yet, when she looked down, she could see Sam’s handsome face, which at the moment seemed as if submerged in sleep, resembling an adorable baby.

Mia thought of something and couldn’t help but stretch out her hand, gently moving her finger towards his lips… softly…

She touched them.

She touched Sam’s soft lips.

They weren’t thick, somewhat soft, tender… and stirred an indescribable feeling within her.

Should she… take advantage of his sleep to find out what it feels like?

Should she?

Wouldn’t that be too shameful?

She was turning into some sort of pervert!

No, that was outright bizarre!

But… she was really curious.

And, he was asleep… he probably wouldn’t know, right?

Should she try it?

After all… he probably wouldn’t know, probably wouldn’t notice anything…

Thinking this, Mia looked around with a bit of guilt. The car was still moving, and the driver ahead seemed utterly unaware of what was happening in the back.

Once a bullet is chambered, it’s bound to be shot.

When a devilish voice emerges in one’s mind, something is bound to happen afterwards.

It seems humans are such creatures.

Mia convinced herself, it was just the alcohol, she had drunk too much and couldn’t control herself. It was normal under such circumstances, especially since it was just a stealthy… kiss… just trying…

Thus, Mia gathered her hair up.

Her cheeks reddening a bit, she leaned down towards Sam’s face, towards Sam’s lips…

“Lady, is this the place?”

Suddenly, the driver’s voice halted everything. Mia subconsciously felt a bit disappointed, but quickly snapped out of it.

What was she trying to do?

Could she really do something so embarrassing?!

Mia hastily raised her head, stuttering a bit.

“Ah… yes, this is the place… um, close enough…”

They had arrived near convenience store; if worse came to worst, she could let Sam rest there until he woke up and could go home.

She really didn’t know where Sam lived.

But at this moment, Sam, who was supposed to be lying on her lap, suddenly lifted his head and spoke towards the front.

“Go a bit further, then take the next left turn at the corner, the apartment at the end is the place.”

After saying this, he lay back down.

He continued to close his eyes, as if what just happened was an illusion, as if he hadn’t moved at all…

What an illusion, my foot!

Mia, who had drunk plenty of beer, sobered up instantly. She immediately stretched out both hands, grabbed Sam’s neck, and shook him violently.

“You jerk, you weren’t drunk at all! You lied to me!”

Sam was almost strangled to death.

He pushed Mia’s hands away and sat back up, looking annoyed at the woman whose face was now red, unclear whether from anger or embarrassment.

“When did I say I was drunk? I was just… a bit sleepy.”

“Still pretending?!”

Sam said with a smile, “You were the one who put me on your lap, not me asking for it.”

“You…!”

“Hey, hey, hey! This is the place, I’m getting off now. I’ll head back first, we can talk tomorrow if there’s anything!”

Sam made a quick escape, opening the car door and darting out.

But what Sam didn’t expect was that no sooner had he stepped out than another figure followed right behind, even grabbing his hand.

“Stop! You think you can run?”

Sam turned around, look at Mia.

“Boss, isn’t everything over for today?… It’s time for me to go back and rest.”

Mia glared at Sam.

“What about the fact that you lied to me? I thought you were drunk, so I took such good care of you. You’re so heavy, yet I helped you into the car. Do you even have a conscience? You lied to me too!”

Sam looked at Mia with a smile. “Taking good care of me… does that include trying to steal a kiss from me in the car just now?”

“Eh? No… I! I wasn’t trying to steal a kiss! I just saw something on your face! I wanted to help you get it off!!”

Oh no!!

He had noticed that, how embarrassing.

Sam nodded.

“So that’s what it was, then the misunderstanding is cleared up, alright, nothing to worry about, you can go back. I’m going to sleep now. Remember the thing you promised me, huh~”

“Wait!”

But once again, she stopped him.

Sam looked at Mia, who was changing colors, unsure of what she was thinking… but definitely nothing good.

“What now?”

Mia raised her eyebrows as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“I don’t want to go back.”

“Oh, then go be homeless, there’s a park right next door.”

“Are you crazy! I mean, I want to go to your place!”

“…”

You’re the crazy one!

Why does everyone want to go to my place? Is there a treasure at my house?
