The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: I’ve already said, it was just curiosity
The woman with her hands in her pockets spoke words that seemed almost fairy-tale-like, not grounded in realism.

It felt like a stark contrast, but perhaps it was understandable; people aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface. Maybe there’s always a young child living inside our hearts, appearing occasionally to devour the immense pressures we face.

Sam was momentarily lost in thought, then smiled and said, “I wish I had your attitude, Officer Aurora.”

Aurora gave a slight smile, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one. This time, she didn’t offer one to Sam. Watching the flame from the lighter illuminate her face, it seemed to carry a spark in her eyes, like a campfire by a clear lake.

Then, as the light extinguished in the darkness of the night, she took a drag, and the smoke slowly rose with the autumn wind, eventually dispersing into the darkness.

“You’re young, how can you have a bad attitude? This is the best time of your life. Relax a bit, some things might not be as serious as you think. Don’t worry.”

Of course, Sam couldn’t tell this woman about his own predicaments.

He didn’t lack so-called female friends, but the real issue lay within himself. He understood the nature of the world and was aware of the potential outcomes he might face, but he just couldn’t express it.

It wasn’t that any system imposed restrictions on him. Rather, if he really spoke out, would anyone believe him?

Even if they did, how would they face the reality of living in this game world? How would they confront their own existence?

This perhaps became an unsolvable problem.

“Let’s hope so,” Sam replied.

Aurora smiled faintly. “Just like what happened tonight, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t feel like anything has changed after tonight. Just interact in the usual way. You can remember this night, but there’s no need to bring it up in the future.”

It seemed like she was reminding Sam of something.

Sam understood naturally. He smiled and said, “If you’re so aware, Officer Aurora, and you haven’t been hypnotized, then why do this? Was it because she threatened you?”

“No threats… The only explanation for this, you should know, right?” She looked at Sam, her face partially obscured by the swirling smoke, becoming more ethereal, as if too dreamlike to be real.

“I’m not sure, I didn’t hear anything,” Sam said, his smile seemingly mischievous, at least from Aurora’s perspective. This bad boy, always liking to stir things up.

Aurora’s cheeks flushed slightly, convincing herself it was just the alcohol. “I’ve already said, it was just curiosity…”

“What’s there to be curious about, haven’t you attended biology class?”

“It’s because I’ve never seen a cock as exaggeratedly large as yours! Do you really want me to spell it out? You infuriating bad boy!”

Aurora, having said this, indeed looked a bit unnatural.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed amusing to be complimented by a woman on having a proud, large cock, mainly because it satisfied a childish sense of achievement in a man.

“It seems Officer Aurora isn’t as worldly as one might think. But to be curious just because you haven’t seen it before, isn’t that a bit strange?”

Aurora glared at Sam fiercely. “So I’m curious, what about it? It’s not that big of a deal. It ended so quickly, totally useless.”

Sam couldn’t stand it anymore. “What do you mean it ended quickly… It was a whole hour! And before that, I was with Alice for a long time, and you were peeking outside the door the whole time, you should be very clear about all this!”

“Who said I watched for a long time? I only looked for a little while… not even five minutes!”

Aurora argued, but her expression somewhat betrayed her guilt.

She had indeed watched for a long time, a lengthy process… Sam’s cock was not only impressively sized but also his stamina had left a lasting impression on her.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh. “Lying through your teeth, I see. So Officer Aurora is not as honest as I thought.”

“Who’s being dishonest? All I saw was you and Alice engaging in oral and breast sex. Why didn’t you just go all the way with her? Are you saying you become overly sensitive once you penetrate? Can’t you last even 5 minutes during real sex?”

“Why don’t you try it now and see how long I can last?”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Aurora couldn’t help but choke on the smoke, her face turning red as she coughed.

Sam realized the joke might have gone too far, but then again, she had challenged a man’s pride in a way that was hard to ignore.

He patted Aurora’s back, slightly annoyed, “Take it easy with the smoking. You’re choking yourself. If it’s too much, maybe you should quit.”

Aurora coughed for a while, her eyes slightly red before she calmed down a bit. “Why do you think I’m coughing? Isn’t it obvious? It’s all because you’re spouting nonsense.”

“Heh, it was just a joke, what’s the rush… But really, it might be good to quit smoking.”

Aurora glanced at Sam. “Telling someone to quit smoking isn’t usually a good sign.”

Sam shrugged. “Doesn’t matter to me. I just think smoking speeds up aging, and I’d like to see Officer Aurora’s beautiful face for many more years.”

Looking at Sam’s handsome face, Aurora suddenly realized that as he spoke these words, something magical seemed to flow into her own heart. Warm and slightly sweet. Like honey.

She suddenly felt a bit flustered, extinguished her cigarette, and turned her head away. “Alright, I’m going back now. You should head home early too.”

“Yeah, take care on your way.”

“You too.”

Aurora hailed a taxi, quickly got in, and soon disappeared from Sam’s sight.

Sam sighed. What should he do next?

The events unfolding around him were becoming increasingly surreal, leaving no room for carelessness or downtime. He embarked on a seemingly endless journey through the long night.

What would happen tomorrow? What about the future? It seemed like every night he would fantasize, only to fall into a deep sleep without any answers.

A new dawn awaited him the next day.

===

“Sam, I have a friend… I want to ask for him, there’s a girl he’s liked for a long time, she replies to all his messages, but not quickly. However, whenever the topic shifts slightly towards something flirtatious, she avoids it. What does that mean?”

It was during a break.

Sam was munching on a chocolate bar a female classmate had given him, while reading a comic book. The person speaking was Louis, who had just given Sam a newly bought comic.

Sam looked up at Louis. “This friend of yours… it wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?”

Louis’s eyes widened. “How could that be? Of course, it’s my friend! Definitely not me. He was just asking me for advice a few days ago, but I have no experience, so I thought I’d ask you.”

Sam took another bite of his chocolate bar, sweet with a hint of bitterness. “You probably already know the answer to your question. If she avoids any flirtatious topics, it means she just needs someone to talk to, like how some people look for chat buddies. Do you think people look for chat buddies because they want to fall in love?”

Louis immediately said, “It’s not me! It’s my friend!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll assume it’s your friend,” Sam replied.

Louis sighed and sat down. “Maybe… he already knows the situation, and he might have an idea in his heart, but perhaps he still hopes there’s a chance.”

Sam said calmly while looking at the comic book, “There’s no such thing as hope or no hope. If there’s a chance, people always like to give themselves the benefit of the doubt. Even after seeing so many similar cases, one might think they could be the exception, that things might turn out differently for them. But in the end, most find that nothing changes. If someone doesn’t like you, they just don’t, and it’s hard to change that through mere companionship.”

Sam had a clear understanding of these matters.

Could long-term affection really develop over time? Perhaps.

But this is a fast-paced era—quick to fall in love, quick to change, quick to break up. Everything happens so fast.

Thus, few people wait long enough for companionship to make an impact, to wait until the day she finally notices you. By then, someone more suited to her preferences might have already entered her world.

In the end, you just become a ‘friend’ who can only offer a wry smile and blessings.

But who is content with their crush just becoming a friend? It’s all just self-comfort, a way to not lose dignity.

Louis glanced at Sam. “So what should my… my friend do now?”

Sam looked back at him. “It’s simple, really. Do nothing.”

“Do nothing? Wouldn’t that be even more passive?”

Sam shook his head. “It’s not about doing absolutely nothing. I mean, keep the interaction the same, but what needs to change is your—well, your friend’s—mindset. Shift to an indifferent attitude, even if it’s forced. That way, there won’t be any suffering. Who knows, maybe a so-called miracle might happen, like her noticing your indifferent attitude.”

“Why would being indifferent lead to a miracle? Shouldn’t the relationship just grow more distant?” Louis clearly didn’t understand.

Sam smiled calmly. “First off, it’s not certain this will happen. Secondly, you need to understand the nature of human beings.”

“What is it?”

“People are fickle… When you feel someone is wholeheartedly good to you, you might start to despise them, thinking they’re beneath you. But when they start showing kindness to others instead of you, that’s when you feel regret, envy, and jealousy. Being a bit selfish isn’t bad; devoting yourself completely to others doesn’t always end well. Do you understand?”

Louis seemed at a loss for words.

At that moment, someone called out, “Sam! Someone’s looking for you!”

Sam instinctively turned his head and saw a figure at the doorway. There was no need to search or stare intently. It was a presence that was immediately noticeable. In this school, only a few possessed such charisma.

Especially when it was Angel…

Sam paused, while those around him filled the air with envy and admiration.

Louis even said in a sarcastic tone, “Why ask you? You’re someone who never has these troubles… Go on, the Heiress is waiting for you.”

Sam didn’t have time to respond to Louis. Under everyone’s gaze, he walked up to Angel and smiled. “What brings you to my classroom all of a sudden? Are you here to give me a surprise?”

Angel smiled back at Sam. “You ran off pretty fast yesterday, had fun avoiding me all night?”

Sam immediately responded with righteous indignation. “How could that be! Something came up at my part-time job, so I had to rush over and cover a shift. Not being able to be with you was a huge loss and regret for me.”

This kind of exaggerated flattery had become second nature to Sam.

Their conversation in the hallway was soft, so others couldn’t hear what they were saying. They only saw this couple chatting and laughing together, their beautiful smiles radiant and dazzling. It seemed like a scene most people would fantasise about in their youth.

“Mmm, you’re quite the sweet talker, really makes me want to reward you right now.”

Angel’s beautiful smile emerged, and she even reached out to caress Sam’s face, appearing to others like a goddess bestowing her blessings, an essential element in all their fantasies.

But only Sam, up close, could see the danger in Angel’s eyes. Despite her sweet words, her gaze seemed almost like she wanted to turn Sam into a specimen.

“No need for a reward… we’re lovers, aren’t we? It was my fault for not making things clear yesterday…”

“Since you know it was a mistake, maybe you deserve a little punishment?”

When she touched Sam’s ear, she applied a bit of force, and Sam could distinctly feel the strength in her fingers.

“Let’s not do that here, okay? There are so many people around…”

“True, then don’t leave after school, wait for me.”

Sam was taken aback. “Wait for what?”

Angel flashed a toothy smile, her fragrance enveloping her like a blooming flower, utterly enchanting.

But paired with the look in her eyes at that moment, Sam felt a cold sweat coming on.

“Forgot? You’re supposed to tutor me in my studies. Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing.”

If it was nothing, then why that look?

Sam forced a calm smile.

“Ah, right… tutoring… I might have other things to do…” He said, though his mind was already scrambling for a plausible excuse to get out of it.

But in the next moment, Angel stepped forward, as if intending to press into Sam’s embrace.

Sam instinctively stepped back, leaning against the wall.

He watched as Angel, clearly holding the upper hand, lowered her voice. “If you’re busy today, or if I don’t see you waiting in the classroom after school… I assure you, you won’t have to worry about being busy ever again.”

“…”
