The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Is this what being in love feels like?
After finishing their meal, Alice quickly paid the bill.

Sam watched her hurried and proactive actions with amusement and said, “Ms. Alice, won’t you give me a chance to show some chivalry?”

Alice rolled her eyes. “Come on, I can’t let my student pay.”

Sam thought for a moment. “There’s no such thing as a free dinner. Ms. Alice, are you planning to have your student repay you in some other way?”

Alice’s cheeks flushed at his mischievous look. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Sam blinked innocently. “I meant I’ll repay you with good exam scores. Why is that nonsense?”

“Huh?”

Alice’s face turned even redder, her cold demeanor slowly breaking.

Sam leaned closer, looking into her eyes. “Or did you think of something else? Like in bed?”

Alice wasn’t used to Sam being so forward and teasing. This seemed like a new side of him.

With a slightly flushed face, she squinted her eyes and pinched Sam’s side. “You’re getting bold, daring to talk to your teacher like this?”

Sam simply grabbed her hand, holding her delicate fingers in his.

“So, is it common for teachers to invite students to such restaurants for dinner?”

He smiled as he asked.

Alice felt a bit panicked, worried that someone familiar might see them. After all, a teacher and a high school student having dinner in such a place could easily lead to misunderstandings.

She just wanted to enjoy more moments like this with Sam. If their lives changed drastically too soon, it would be something neither of them wanted. She didn’t want to ruin his future because of her selfish desires.

But Sam wouldn’t let go.

Under his intense gaze, the usually mature and composed woman now seemed as flustered as a child.

“Let go… someone might see,” she whispered.

Sam didn’t let go. Instead, he put her hand in his pocket, wrapping it tightly with his own.

Like a captured prey, there was no reason to let her go easily.

He even pulled her out of the restaurant with undeniable force, exposing them to the bustling street.

Alice’s face continued to heat up, even the cold wind couldn’t cool her down.

Her legs, wrapped in black stockings, pressed tightly together. Under her tailored coat, she looked shy and passive, like a deer seeing humans for the first time.

As they walked, Sam said, “Ms. Alice, Kuhang is a crowded place. If I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?”

Alice was momentarily dazed, then saw Sam looking at her with a teasing smile. “Why do I feel like I’m the teacher here?”

“I’m not afraid!” Alice retorted, feeling indignant.

“Then let’s go?”

“Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

Sam looked at the defiant woman, thinking her personality was sometimes like a child’s. If only she could always be like this.

Of course, that was probably just a beautiful wish.

Alice thought for a moment. “The street ahead is quite crowded. If you’re not afraid of being seen by that Heiress…”

“Ms. Alice, you always call me a womanizer. If I don’t do something womanizer-like, wouldn’t that be letting you down?”

With that, Sam led Alice towards the bustling street ahead.

Night had fallen, but it didn’t affect the street’s vibrancy and liveliness.

The bustling crowd, the sounds of laughter and noisy advertisements intertwined.

The colorful neon signs were dazzling.

Whether rich or poor, high-status or ordinary, everyone had the right to enjoy it.

Being truly submerged in the crowd, no matter how handsome, beautiful, or wealthy you were, you were just a speck in the vast sea of life.

“Want some coffee, Ms. Alice?”

Sam spotted a lively coffee shop. The weather was a bit chilly, and a hot coffee would be nice to hold.

Alice wrinkled her nose slightly. “Last time I saw you with that Zoe, you were drinking coffee.”

Sam blinked innocently. “Bringing that up now, won’t it ruin the mood?”

“What mood? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Alice played dumb.

Sam laughed. “Never mind, with my hand, you won’t be cold.”

He squeezed her soft hand in his pocket, making Alice’s eyes glisten, looking even more enchanting.

“Hey, aren’t you going to drink?”

Alice couldn’t help but ask.

Sam smiled and led Alice to buy coffee.

Alice wasn’t particularly fond of coffee, but people often have strange fixations.

With someone special, you want to do everything together.

Drink coffee, watch movies, travel, go to amusement parks…

Alone, you wouldn’t have such impulses, but with Sam by her side, these became things she wanted to try.

After a short wait, they got their coffee.

Alice tried to pull her hand away, but Sam wouldn’t let go.

Holding her coffee with one hand, Alice looked at Sam, annoyed. “This is really inconvenient.”

Sam smiled. “You need two hands to drink coffee? Are you a child?”

“You are bad boy…”

Though she said that, in this cold winter, she felt like she was already seeing the romantic season of falling snow.

Is this what being in love feels like?

She didn’t know… but it didn’t feel awkward. It felt sweet.

Like she was back in her innocent school days.

“Hmm?”

As they walked, sipping their coffee, they passed an arcade. Alice seemed drawn to it.

She saw a group of people around a claw machine, many girls holding plush toys. But it was the boys trying hard at the machine who were the real heroes.

Sam looked at these boys and thought: If only you were this serious about studying.

“Ms. Alice, do you want a plush toy?”

Alice’s eyes flickered.

“Those are for kids. I’m not interested.”

She said that, but didn’t move.

Instead, she looked at Sam.

Her gaze made Sam want to laugh.

“Can’t you be a bit more honest?”

“Honest about what?”

She blushed and looked away.

Sam smiled and walked to the coin machine.

He paid and got a bucket of tokens.

He walked back to Alice with a smile.

Alice’s eyes sparkled. To her, Sam was the perfect boy, irreplaceable in anyone’s memory.

Women, especially mature ones, aren’t easily moved by a few words. But if you effortlessly do something they value, it opens their hearts more directly.

Like now, the boy with the tokens looked around.

“Come on, Ms. Alice, which one do you want? I’ll get it for you, no matter what.”

“Idiot…”

She laughed and scolded, her eyes full of light.

She quickly pointed to the machine filled with Snoopy plush toys.

Sam walked over confidently.

In less than ten minutes, he was sweating.

“Ms. Alice, listen to me.”

“Yes, I’m listening to how you couldn’t get a single toy in ten minutes.”

Sam explained with difficulty.

“The machine is rigged. These claw machines are programmed to only give a strong grip after a certain number of tokens. Do you understand?”

Alice was actually very happy, not impatient at all.

Even without a toy, just watching Sam sweat over the machine made her happy.

Alice tilted her head at Sam.

“Should I give it a try?”

Sam straightened up.

“Go ahead. I think someone else must have taken a lot before I started.”

Alice stepped up, without any pressure, casually inserting a token and operating the claw.

“Clunk.”

A Snoopy plush toy dropped out.

She picked it up and looked at Sam.

“Your intuition doesn’t seem very accurate.”

Sam awkwardly scratched his nose.

“Uh… it’s because I set it up well before. Do you understand?”

“I understand, I understand.”

“I don’t think you do. I need to get one to prove my skill. Step aside, sensei!”

Alice watched as he continued to use up the tokens.

She didn’t realize the smile on her face never faded.

Her constant smile made her the brightest sight in the arcade.

When they finished, Sam finally got a Mickey Mouse plush toy.

Honestly, it was tough.

As they left, Sam muttered.

“Such a rip-off. So many tokens for just two toys. Let’s not come here again.”

Alice looked at him.

“Is there going to be a next time?”

Sam looked puzzled.

“Why wouldn’t there be?”

Alice hesitated, then shook her head.

“Never mind… let’s go see a movie. You’re not in a hurry to go back, right?”

Sam felt she was hiding something, something not good.

But the night was still young, and he wasn’t in a hurry to find out.

So he nodded.

“Didn’t I say? Tonight is all yours. What do you want to watch? Let’s go.”

They went to the cinema. Since it was the weekend, it was crowded, but they managed to get tickets for the next show.

As they waited in line, Sam asked curiously, “Do you really like dogs?”

Alice had bought tickets for a dog movie, and she had wanted a Snoopy plush toy earlier.

Alice replied calmly, “I do. Don’t you?”

“I don’t have strong feelings either way. I’m tolerant of animals. But do you have a dog, Ms. Alice?”

“Having a dog means walking it often. I’m too busy to take care of one, so I just like them from afar.”

“That’s surprisingly honest.”

“Didn’t you want me to be honest?”

“True.”

They entered the cinema, having bought cola and popcorn. You might not like them, but they set the mood.

The movie was as Sam expected.

A sentimental story with ups and downs.

As the dog protagonist neared the end of its life, Alice’s eyes reddened.

“Compared to dogs… our lives are quite long, aren’t they?”

She said, feeling emotional.

Sam turned to look at her red eyes.

“It’s just a movie. Why are you crying and getting all philosophical?”

Alice looked at Sam, annoyed.

“Do you have a heart? It’s very touching.”

Sam smiled.

“If I cried like you, wouldn’t that make me look weak?”

“I think you’re cold-hearted.”

Alice wrinkled her nose.

Sam leaned closer, his body tilted.

He could smell her faint perfume and see her lips clearly.

Alice sensed the sudden danger.

As she instinctively tried to pull away, Sam’s hand reached over, wrapping around her shoulder.

Then he kissed her.

Their lips met for a moment, a forceful moment.

They quickly parted, leaving Alice stunned. Sam smiled at her.

“Am I cold-hearted?”

Alice’s cheeks flushed, the movie’s emotional impact gone.

“Bad boy, this is a cinema…!”

“You didn’t say anything. Now that you mention it… it’s even more romantic.”

“Romantic, my foot. Rom… mmph!”

Alice couldn’t finish her sentence as her lips were sealed again.

Sam’s kiss was passionate and aggressive.

Especially since she was passive, it felt like all her senses were led by him.

Despite her special abilities, she seemed to forget everything, drawn into the boy’s charming whirlpool.

Her soul seemed to tremble.

When Sam’s hand touched Alice’s thigh, she felt a familiar sensation.

That forbidden feeling of a teacher-student relationship.

Especially in a crowded cinema, the thrill made her body tremble slightly.

Worse, Sam’s hand didn’t just stay on her thigh; it moved up…

Soon, his hand was under her skirt, fingers inside her panties.

“Slap.”

Alice couldn’t help but press his hand down.

She broke the kiss, her cheeks flushed, eyes misty, looking at Sam.

“The movie… is over.”

Sam wasn’t in a hurry, smiling at Alice.

“So?”

Alice tried to avoid his gaze but couldn’t.

“Where… are we going?”

She asked, trying to escape.

Sam chuckled, then amidst the noise of people leaving, said,

“Let’s go to your place. I think it’s nice there.”

“Huh?”
