Chapter 311: Can you come and sleep in the bed with me?
“Fuck?”
Sam turned his head.
Sophie also turned around.
“Did she just swear?”
Sam rubbed his temples.
Then he looked at the girl next to him who immediately covered her mouth, her face flushed.
“This is my classmate, and the genius who tops our class in every exam, Miss Sophie. And this is my sister, Ava.”
Ava felt her face heat up.
“Um… sorry, I just remembered something weird, it wasn’t directed at you, I apologize.”
Ava was quick to apologize politely, as she was the one who had lost her composure first.
Sophie was somewhat surprised by Ava’s politeness, then glanced at Sam.
“Did you really bring your sister over?”
Sophie knew beforehand that Sam’s sister was coming over, and she thought that meant Sam wouldn’t be coming over to cook for her in the next few days.
But she hadn’t expected Sam to actually bring his sister along for a meal?
What kind of situation was this?
Why did it feel… a bit unnervingly tense and shy?
It was like…
Like meeting a little sister-in-law… No! Why did she even think that?!
Sam nodded.
“Didn’t I tell you? It’s just right to cook together.”
“Cook here?”
“Is this how you treat guests? Do you know how cold it is outside? We’re freezing standing at the door.”
“…Come in then.”
Normally, if it were just Sam, Sophie could stand firm at the door and confront this young man for over half an hour without even a shiver.
But she couldn’t help it, Sam’s sister was here.
She suddenly felt constrained, inexplicably nervous, and even started worrying if her behavior just now seemed a bit rude…
“Sorry for the intrusion, Miss Sophie.”
Perhaps it was the other girl’s demeanor, or maybe the place she lived, but Ava felt an instinctive liking for her.
How to put it.
At least she wasn’t like that girl Angel, who made one uncomfortable at first glance, overly arrogant, practically a walking Main Tank.

“Ah… no worries… um, Miss Ava…”
“Just call me Ava.”
Ava said with a smile.
One of Ava’s strengths compared to her peers is her knack for socializing; not only does she not exhibit any signs of social anxiety, but she also seems to get along exceptionally well with others.
In fact, Sam felt that at their age, Ava seemed even more outstanding than he was.
They entered Sophie’s apartment together.
Sophie still seemed unusually reserved.
“Um… I’ll go find some cups and pour you some coffee…”
“No need, my brother bought coffee.”
Ava took out the instant coffee they had bought from her bag, including some for Sophie.
Sophie paused and looked at them.
Sam shrugged.
“I know you don’t usually keep coffee at home.”
“…Remembering such things, don’t talk as if you know me so well.”
Sophie awkwardly accepted the coffee Ava handed her.
Hearing their conversation, Ava immediately sensed something and turned her head, her tone becoming a bit unusual.
“You guys are that close?”
Sam, seemingly oblivious to the undertone in her words, smiled and said.
“Well, we’re members of the same club, and I recently lost a bet, so I have to cook for her for a month.”
“A month?!”
Ava almost jumped up.
She managed to restrain herself from standing up, but her voice still sounded a bit out of control.
Sam nodded.
“Yeah.”
Sophie felt her cheeks grow warm.
“It’s just cooking… he chose to make that bet himself.”
Sophie seemed to be distancing herself, but not completely.
And while Ava found this girl much more pleasant than Angel, that didn’t mean she could become her sister-in-law!
If Sophie became her sister-in-law, what would Ava do?! Oh my God!
A month!
A young man of similar age cooking for a girl, and not just any girl, but one so beautiful and with such a unique aura, for a month!
Even two wild boars would develop feelings in such a scenario!
Is it too late for Ava to tell her parents she won’t be coming home for a month?
Even half a month would be something!
“It’s not… um, you know… Miss Sophie, he has a girlfriend, you know that, right?”
Ava felt cornered and blurted out the only thing that seemed to make sense in her mind at the moment. She really didn’t want to acknowledge Angel as her brother’s girlfriend, but now it seemed that mentioning this woman’s role was the only thing that could possibly prevent anything from happening.
Sophie’s expression faltered slightly at Ava’s words, then visibly cooled off at a speed that Sam could see with the naked eye. Even her earlier shyness vanished without a trace.
She nodded calmly.
“Yes, I know. Sam is just cooking for me, there’s nothing else between us.”
“But…”
“Is this what you came to Sophie’s house to talk about?”
Sam stood up, interrupting the somewhat awkward conversation.
Ava observed the clear change in Sophie’s demeanor and felt increasingly suspicious, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was odd… Was it her expression? Hearing this news… It seemed like she already knew, but it wasn’t a complete loss, just a cooling down.
How strange is this girl?
No, it seems all the girls around her brother are pretty strange.
“Sorry… I was just speaking off the cuff, might have made a mountain out of a molehill.”
Ava sincerely apologized.
She also felt a bit regretful, as it seemed inappropriate to stir up such an atmosphere while being a guest in someone else’s home, especially since Sophie didn’t seem to be the bad type like Angel.
“Alright, I’m going to cook. You two chat, just don’t talk about weird stuff.”
Sam glanced at his sister.
Ava defiantly glared back.
Once Sam left the living room to wash vegetables and prepare ingredients in the kitchen, the atmosphere between the two girls became awkward.
Ava didn’t know how to alleviate the tension, and Sophie seemed preoccupied with other thoughts, her demeanor instantly becoming somewhat indifferent and even alienatingly distant.
It was as if the whole world, including the apartment, had nothing to do with her.
This unapproachable aura was even more intimidating than Angel’s haughty demeanor.
Just as Ava was pondering what to say next.
“I heard you’re here for a swimming competition?”
Sophie spoke up.
She looked at Ava calmly, without nervousness, and certainly without that earlier approachable weakness.
Ava nodded.
“Yeah…”
“Congratulations in advance on your good performance,” Sophie said, her tone polite but somewhat distant.
Ava gave a wry smile and nodded, “Thank you, Miss Sophie…”
Why are all the girls around her brother so odd?
“How is your relationship with your brother?” Sophie suddenly asked.
Ava found the question strange. Logically, if someone was interested in Sam, they might ask about his childhood or something similar, not this peculiar question. Had she misunderstood something?
Could there really be such platonic relationships between men and women in the world?
After a moment’s thought, Ava answered.
“Well… my brother and I have always gotten along well since we were kids, we hardly ever fight.”
“Really? There are people who can resist not arguing with him?”
“Eh? Does that mean… you guys fight often?”
“Not really fights, but sometimes he can be really annoying, don’t you think?”
“Absolutely! Sometimes he’s so infuriating! He doesn’t act like a big brother at all!”
“See, I knew it. Has he always been this annoying since he was little?”
“Not really… It seems like he started becoming more annoying after he came back from a vacation in Kuhang. Hey, you didn’t know about this?”
“Oh, I took a break from school for a while, I didn’t know him before. After getting to know him, I realized how annoying a guy could be.”
“You feel that way too!!”
Sam, who appeared to be cooking, was actually eavesdropping quietly.
Bringing Ava to Sophie’s house for dinner wasn’t for any other reason but to let his sister see how complicated the relationships around him were, surrounded by beautiful women.
It was to help Ava let go of any unrealistic ideas she might have.
Although it was a bit shameful, Sam felt… letting her realize his womanizer nature would be much better.
But…
What on earth were these two girls chatting about? Was this a denunciation conference against Sam?
Good grief.
Here he was, cooking for two girls, and they were openly plotting—no, outright ruthlessly speaking ill of him.
It was truly heartbreaking!
At the same time, this situation allowed Sam to notice something: when he finished cooking and served the food, the two girls seemed to become very close.
Even Sophie’s usually indifferent face seemed much more cheerful.
Was this the magical friendship between girls? Just having a common target to criticize could instantly turn them into good friends.
“You two seemed to be having a great time chatting just now? Still chatting over dinner?”
All sorts of delicious dishes were laid out on the table, and the two girls immediately sat together. Now, it was just Sam sitting by himself, watching the two girls across from him whispering as if sharing secrets, laughing and talking.
Good grief.
What was Sam doing bringing his sister here?
Ava glanced at Sam.
“Mind your own business, naughty brother. Sophie is telling me about Kuhang, it’s really interesting.”
Sam thought to himself, what interesting thing could you possibly hear about Kuhang from her? In her eyes, even the nicest places could be made to sound dull.
“You could ask me too, wasn’t I also in Kuhang?”
“Heh, normally when I ask you, you can’t even be bothered to pick up the phone, I’d rather not talk to you. I’ll ask Sophie from now on~”
“…There’s a ‘from now on’?”
“Of course, I just exchanged contact information with Sophie~ Hehe, I even followed her account.”
“You two seem to be getting along really well, but can we eat first? It’s going to get cold.”
Forget it.
Sam seemed to have outsmarted himself. He underestimated the mysterious force between girls, which seemed to be working completely against his intentions.
“Alright, let’s eat then, no need to rush. If it’s not good, just you wait~”
Ava started eating with a somewhat reluctant demeanor.
Sam felt both annoyed and amused.
Then he caught Sophie’s gaze. Sophie glanced at Sam and quickly looked down.
Their eyes met for a moment, the meaning unclear.
But… she didn’t seem troubled, probably happy.
Well, maybe this was not so bad after all. It was certainly better than having the two girls arguing in front of him.
“Wow…! Did you make this meal?”
Sam’s thoughts hadn’t settled yet when his sister’s exaggerated exclamation broke through.
“…When did you learn to cook! And it’s so delicious, I really… wow, this is so good too!!”
Sam had made quite a few dishes, and of course, he had now figured out the trick: make a variety of dishes but keep the portions small.
This way, it wouldn’t feel wasteful to the other person, but they could still enjoy different flavors.
Satisfaction on all fronts.
Sophie couldn’t help but laugh, as if she was seeing her old self.
But Sophie hadn’t been quite so expressive… Well, perhaps that’s just how siblings are. They can say whatever they want without restraint, not needing to hide their emotions over anything.
Thinking about this, Sophie felt a bit of regret.
Her own sister… couldn’t even meet others in a normal state or get to know her own friends, except for Sam.
Speaking of which… he always was special.
After finishing the meal, Ava was completely satisfied, even lying back in her chair, not wanting to move, patting her stomach.
“Brother… why didn’t you cook for me before?”
Sam chuckled, “I didn’t know how to cook before, I learned it all on my own. You could learn too.”
Ava turned her head, suddenly looking earnestly at Sophie.
“I’m so jealous of you, Sophie.”
“Ah? What…”
“That you get to eat this delicious food for a whole month!”
“I think the taste is just so-so.”
“Is this the calmness of a high school student from Kuhang?”
Sam bluntly exposed Sophie.
“The first time she ate my cooking, Sophie’s reaction was pretty much like yours now.”
“That’s not true! Don’t make things up!”
“Eh? Really?”
“Of course, she ate two bowls just from the noodles I made.”
“Sam, shut up!!”
By the time Sam had cleaned up and they had both eaten their fill, it was getting late. The siblings prepared to leave.
“Goodbye.”
Sophie still found it hard to say things like “Come again next time” or “Take care on the road.” She wasn’t good at these pleasantries and didn’t have much experience with them.
Luckily, Ava didn’t care about such formalities and waved cheerfully.
“Get some rest early, Sophie. Bye~”
The siblings then descended the stairs together.
The moonlight had pierced through the clouds, casting a cold glow that elongated their shadows under the streetlights.
“Want to go for a walk somewhere?” Sam asked.
Ava shook her head.
“No, I just got here today and I’m a bit tired. Plus, I have a competition tomorrow, need to rest up early.”
“Fair enough…”
So, they headed straight back to the apartment.
Sam made up Ava’s bed and then told her to wash up before heading to bed early. He himself decided to crash on the couch in the living room.
Despite not doing much, he felt strangely tired. Maybe this was what it felt like to take care of a younger sister, kind of like looking after a child.
“Hey, are you really going to sleep on the couch?” Ava, fresh from washing up and wearing an oversized T-shirt that revealed her notably long legs, looked almost ethereal.
Sam made a conscious effort to look away. Admiring another girl’s legs was one thing, but his sister’s? That felt a bit wrong.
“What else?” he replied.
“I can’t sleep this early,” Ava said with a pitiful tone.
Sam smiled.
“Then play on your phone for a while before sleeping, just don’t stay up too late.”
“But… I get scared by myself in the room.”
“Are you kidding? Don’t you sleep alone in your room at home?”
“That’s home! This isn’t! Don’t you understand girls at all! I’m done talking, hmph!”
Ava stomped her foot and went into her room, then slammed the door shut.
Sam felt no guilt whatsoever.
Young girls just love to make a fuss, he thought, having anticipated this kind of behavior.
Ah, youth.
Sam comfortably lay down, even if it was just on the couch.
But he hadn’t been at peace for even twenty minutes when he heard a noise.
“Bang.”
Sam heard the sound of a door opening.
Then footsteps approached, followed by a pair of long, shapely legs appearing in front of him.
Following those legs upward, he saw Ava holding a pillow, her cheeks flushed and biting her lip as she looked at him.
“I can’t sleep… brother.”
“…You can’t sleep, what do you expect me to do about it?” Sam asked, somewhat helplessly.
He made no move to get up, while Ava squatted down in front of him, blinking her big, watery eyes at him.
“Can you come and sleep in the bed with me?”
