The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: How is Sam so skilled at kissing
“Huh? Weren’t we going to your place? Why are we here?” Mia asked, puzzled.

After leaving the hospital, they didn’t head straight to Sam’s house but stopped at the supermarket closest to Sam’s apartment instead.

Mia had initially planned to do “that thing” at Sam’s house. After all, going to a hotel seemed too strange, even though a lot had happened in her dreams, and it seemed inevitable that her relationship with Sam would turn ambiguous.

But she couldn’t let go of her own reservations. For a woman, no matter what her status, it wasn’t appropriate to make such a suggestion outright.

Fortunately, Sam quickly realized the best approach. But why did he seem so natural about it? It was as if the nervous one was Mia herself.

It was strange. Mia was older than Sam, so why did she act so immature around him? And why did they end up at the supermarket first?

Could it be to buy some condoms? No way… What was he thinking? Could he be…

He… He really was safety-conscious.

However, when Mia saw Sam carefully examining an eggplant, she realized she might have thought too much.

Sam said calmly, “Look at the time. You weren’t planning to start without having dinner, were you? Are you that eager?”

Mia fanned herself, not because it was particularly hot, but to dispel the suspicious blush on her face. “You’re the eager one… Can you even cook? I’m just skeptical about that.”

Sam chuckled. “Who cooked noodles for you that night you drank too much?”

Mia snorted. “But they were just okay~ Not that great. Cooking noodles is easy, right? I want potatoes.”

She pointed at the round potatoes that still seemed to have dirt on them.

Sam laughed. “You don’t trust my cooking skills, yet you’re ordering dishes?”

Mia matter-of-factly said, “I don’t have high hopes for your culinary skills, but I can tolerate a lot. As long as it doesn’t taste too bad, I can eat it.”

Sam couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head repeatedly.

“Alright, I guess you’ll just have to endure my mediocre cooking skills, boss.”

“Good to know~”

Mia seemed in a good mood, no longer nervous, but rather excitedly picking out food with the young man. It was almost like a couple in love discussing how to spend their weekend together, except it seemed like the people deeply involved didn’t realize it.

It wasn’t until Sam was paying that Mia snapped back to reality. What was she doing just now? It felt like they were preparing for a camping trip… Even though they were going to eat first, those other things were still going to happen, right?

After all, Mia couldn’t fully control her dreams yet. What if it turned into one of those exaggerated, absurd, erotic, and violent scenarios again?

Instantly, Mia’s expression became a bit vacant, her cheeks naturally flushing.

Sam turned around, puzzled. “What’s up? Aren’t you coming?”

“No, nothing. Just remembered something.”

“What thing?”

“It’s… nothing important. Let’s go, let’s go.”

Mia even pushed Sam to leave the supermarket, leaving him utterly baffled.

Really, one should never try to guess what’s going on in a woman’s mind. You might never get the right answer, possibly because even they don’t know what they want to do.

Carrying the groceries, Sam led Mia back to his place. The walk seemed calm and steady, but internally, he was on edge. He was terrified that Zoe might suddenly come out as they passed her door.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Zoe seemed to be out, not a sound to be heard.

When the door closed behind them, Sam’s heart finally settled.

“Your place is really clean… not quite what I expected,” Mia remarked, looking around at the familiar setup of his home.

Sam chuckled, “You’ve been here before, why rely on your imagination?”

Mia huffed lightly.

“The last few times I came over, it was clean, but I suspected it was just because I happened to catch you cleaning… I didn’t expect you to actually be this disciplined. You know, a lot of people… even girls can’t manage to do that.”

“Really?” Sam casually replied as he set down the groceries and started to prepare the meal.

Mia watched Sam’s movements with interest, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

“Of course, you have no idea how messy a girls’ dorm can get. Back then, the dorm next to mine… it was such a mess… Why are you laughing? I’m talking about the dorm next to mine! Definitely not my dorm!”

“Alright, alright, the next dorm then.”

“Damn it…”

The two bantered back and forth until Sam finished cooking.

Throughout, Mia kept up the small talk, seemingly unable to stay quiet, perhaps as a way to mask her nervousness.

Mia was indeed nervous, but as Sam started finishing dish after dish, she was surprised to find that it wasn’t as she had expected.

Sam’s cooking was delicious.

From the moment the aroma began to fill the air, she knew something was off. This young man’s movements in chopping and cooking were seamless, showing no signs of inexperience, like a seasoned Michelin-starred chef.

Mia could cook a bit too, but looking at the dishes Sam brought to the table, which were perfect in color, aroma, and taste, she felt quite inferior.

“You really can cook, huh?”

Sam smiled as he placed a bowl full of rice on the table.

“Could there be any doubt?”

“…That’s not what I meant. If you’re such a good cook, why did you only make noodles for me last time?”

Mia complained a bit.

Sam, embarrassed to admit that his cooking skills weren’t as polished back then without the system’s enhancement, just shrugged.

“Having something to eat is already good, I rarely cook myself. Besides, you haven’t tried it yet, what if it disappoints you?”

“That’s true.”

Mia took a bite of the eggplant.

Then Sam saw the reaction he had anticipated.

First, a skeptical expression, then a hesitant chew, followed by her eyes widening in disbelief.

It was as if she had witnessed the world crumbling—an incredible sight.

Yes.

This was exactly the reaction he wanted to see; otherwise, cooking would have no meaning.

Incredulous, she ate another piece, and before she could even ask Sam how he managed it, she kept eating one piece after another.

With a worldview full of doubt, she savored a taste that seemed not to exist in this world.

Humans are such contradictions, yet they choose to deceive themselves.

“Thanks for the hospitality.”

Mia was full, very satisfied.

If her stomach could have handled more, she felt she would have kept eating.

As Sam cleaned up, he said, “You should walk a bit after eating; sitting like this isn’t good for digestion.”

“No… I can’t move at all now.”

After cleaning up, Mia had recovered.

She looked thoughtfully at the young man who had once again changed her perceptions.

Uncommonly handsome.

Mature and not childish.

Even his cooking was delicious.

And there was a hidden tenderness in his heart.

How could there be such a perfect man in the world!

Then why did she always find herself getting angry at him? It seemed like an unreadable history of years.

“I can’t believe it… I feel like the more I discover about you, the more magical you seem.”

Sam smiled at her.

“That’s nothing compared to you; you’ve got superpowers.”

Mia pouted.

“You think I wanted them… Anyway, let’s not talk about that. When do we start?”

It was still early.

But Mia felt it was better to start these things sooner rather than later.

After all, it was bound to happen eventually, and rather than waiting like a condemned prisoner for that day to come, it was better to start early and get it over with.

At least she wouldn’t have to suffer the anxiety… Every time she thought about it, she felt a bit more nervous!

Sam took a sip of water.

“I’m easy, anytime is fine.”

Mia nodded.

“Then let’s start!”

“Okay.”

Then the two of them just looked at each other, eye to eye, for a long time.

Until Mia finally couldn’t hold back anymore, her face flushing as she spoke.

“How do we start just by looking at each other?”

Sam answered as if it were obvious, “The initiative is in your hands, how would I know?”

“Right, right, there should be some preliminary steps…”

Speaking of preliminary steps, Mia finally remembered a crucial issue.

She looked at Sam nervously and awkwardly.

“You should know about this prerequisite…”

Sam nodded.

“You’ve told me.”

Mia unnaturally reached up to touch her neck, her skin turning red, as if she was engulfed in extreme embarrassment.

“I… I think it’s weird to let you drink my saliva… really weird…”

It all seemed very strange.

Indeed, they should have had some alcohol; otherwise, watching Sam drink her saliva… too weird! It’s not something a normal person would do! Just hearing about it sounds perverted!!

Sam spread his hands helplessly.

“You know it too? Then how did you dare last time?”

“I had some drinks…”

“Well, sorry, but I don’t have any alcohol at home.”

Sam shook his head, indicating there was nothing he could do.

Mia could no longer look directly at Sam, only able to look down at her tightly intertwined fingers.

“What should we do then…”

Of course, the woman had to come up with a solution herself; Sam wasn’t about to solve this problem for her.

“Take your time thinking, we’ve got plenty of time… I’ll go play some video games, let me know when you’re ready.”

Sam stood up, ready to give her some time to think.

But.

“Wait!”

Mia called out to Sam urgently.

The young man turned around, puzzled.

Was she ready so quickly? Or was all the previous shyness just an act?

But looking at her face, her tender neck, and her translucently red earlobes, she seemed as cooked as a shrimp, probably not pretending.

“What’s up?”

Mia’s fingers were tightly intertwined, pulling at each other as if mirroring the struggle within her heart.

“It’s just… there’s another way… you know…”

“I know what I know… I don’t know, be more specific.”

“You clearly tried it last time!!”

Mia couldn’t help but raise her voice.

It seemed like raising her voice could cover up her guilt and shyness.

Sam was stunned for a moment, then he also seemed to remember something.

His expression turned odd.

“Are you talking about that?”

Mia immediately averted her gaze, her eyes looking misty as if they could drip water.

“Um… yes, that…”

“That, huh…”

Sam felt himself becoming odd too.

What the hell… how could he have forgotten about that?

That time, he hadn’t drunk the water, but instead… she had kissed him forcefully.

They had exchanged saliva unwillingly.

To use that method… it felt somewhat bizarre, embarrassingly weird.

Mia looked at Sam, who seemed to be struggling too.

“That… would you be willing?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

She actually felt that she wasn’t the kind of person who was casual, nor was she a woman who could easily accept physical contact with men, but why, when it came to Sam, did she not feel repulsed at all?

Even… what was this exhilarating feeling of a racing heartbeat?

Sam coughed awkwardly.

“That’s up to you…”

“Me?”

“Of course…”

Their gazes collided once again, this time with many other implications.

They saw evasion in each other’s eyes, yet it seemed like they also saw sparks flying.

Mia suddenly stood up.

Sam was startled, was all this really necessary?

“I… I’m going to rinse my mouth first!”

“Huh?”

“Thump thump thump!”

She quickly dashed into the bathroom.

Sam scratched his head.

Was it really necessary to be so ceremonial?

“Splash!”

Mia even splashed her face with cold water.

Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she took deep breaths, over and over.

“Come on, Mia. This isn’t about falling in love, it’s just for Charlotte… This is redemption, so don’t overthink it, it’s okay, you can do this!”

“You can do this!”

She waved her fist.

Mia turned around, pushing open the bathroom door as if she were opening the gates to a new world.

She appeared before Sam with her fists clenched.

She looked as if she was ready to face her fate.

“Are you… ready?”

Sam felt like she wasn’t there to kiss him, but to send him to heaven.

What a bizarre aura!

Don’t use it if you don’t know how!

But all Sam could do was awkwardly say,

“I… guess I’m ready.”

“Then let’s do this!”

“Me go?”

Sam was taken aback.

Mia, with her face flushed, nodded vigorously.

“Of course! You’re the guy! You should take the initiative!”

“…But, this was your idea, wouldn’t it be too much if I…”

“Less talking, hurry up!!”

If she doesn’t hurry, she’ll run out of courage! Mia was almost crying.

Yet Sam was still scratching his head.

“I mean, I could go rinse my mouth or something…”

“Damn it!!!”

Mia couldn’t take it anymore.

She just lunged at him.

She tackled Sam onto the couch, not caring about anything else. She knew if she didn’t do it now, she’d never have the courage to take this step.

After all, it was for Charlotte.

No more hesitations!

With her eyes closed, Mia almost cradled the young man’s head and kissed him fiercely.

For a moment, the world seemed to spin wildly, like a landslide and a tsunami, a massive force overwhelming her.

It was dizzying.

But soon…

He felt a presence softer and more beautiful than that impulsive force.

He hesitated for a moment, then made a choice that aligned with the unfolding events, no need to resist… it was just an advanced step.

Then came the familiar feeling of kissing, but with a different partner.

Sam felt that his familiarity was a kind of sin.

It seemed it was no longer just about setting a condition… their bodies were heating up.

Even Sam could feel her body against his chest.

How should he describe this woman’s fine figure?

A clear outline formed in his mind.

As his brain began to fog, on the verge of being sucked into some vortex from which he couldn’t escape, he wondered,

Is this really… just for dreaming?

And he couldn’t know what Mia, pressed against him, was thinking.

It was actually quite simple.

For Charlotte, she was all in!

Hmm… is this what kissing is?

No! This is for Charlotte!

Oh no… so soft, so warm, I’m getting completely lost…

Calm down, Mia!! You’re not here to enjoy, you’re here to control the dream, get into the dream!!

Ah…

How is Sam so skilled at kissing!!
