The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 416

Chapter 416: So, how’s my quality?
They didn’t stay long in the hospital. Most of the time was spent with Mia and Charlotte chatting about various past events.

Sam wasn’t interested in listening to their conversation, and he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.

If it weren’t for the fact that there was only one bed in the room, Sam felt he could have taken a nap and waited for them to finish talking.

Finally, when they were done, and with Charlotte watching them leave, Sam and Mia exited the hospital room and the building.

“Phew… So, what do you think? Charlotte’s not bad, right?”

Sam wanted to laugh, a mocking laugh.

He wondered what Mia meant by “not bad.”

In terms of looks, sure, Charlotte was a uniquely beautiful girl.

But if they were talking about other qualities, he couldn’t agree.

“Yeah, she’s alright.”

“Why are you so cold?”

Mia asked, dissatisfied.

Sam shook his head with a smile.

“As long as you’re happy, why do you care about my opinion? She’s not my friend. My reaction is normal, right?”

Mia huffed.

“Of course I’m happy. You have no idea how relieved I was when her parents told me she woke up.”

Sam could understand Mia’s feelings.

After all, this situation had troubled her for a long time. People are inherently selfish to some extent, but normal people have a basic sense of right and wrong.

Her guilt was understandable.

And when things finally had a good outcome, her guilt turned into relief, and naturally, she felt happy.

Mia looked up at the darkening sky with a beautiful smile.

“Sam, do you think I’m lucky or unlucky?”

“What do you mean?”

“Look… my parents separated when I was young, and then my mother had an accident. That should be considered unlucky, right?”

“Of course.”

“But later, I became the boss of a convenience store. I’m not super rich, but my life is relatively free and without too many constraints or difficulties. That should be considered lucky, right?”

Sam smiled as he walked out of the hospital with her.

“Life is like that, always a mix of good and bad. But never get too complacent. Fate has a way of inflating your ego and then knocking you back down. Just when you think everything is going well, it might take a dramatic turn.”

“Hahaha… You sound so experienced, but you’re much younger than me.”

Mia reached out and ruffled Sam’s hair, a gesture that looked like an older sister doting on her younger brother.

Sam didn’t mind her little gesture. “So what if I’m young? You still come to me for help when you need it.”

Mia winked at him.

“Then I’ll come to you for help from now on~”

“I didn’t say that.”

“That’s what you meant~”

“Boss Mia, you’re a boss. Have some dignity.”

Sam looked at her helplessly.

Mia coolly swung her leg over her motorcycle. With her height and long legs, she looked like a striking ‘female knight’ who would attract attention anywhere.

Sam sat on the back of the bike, took the helmet she handed him, and asked in advance.

“Where to?”

“To dinner. I promised you a meal. Let me think… burgers or hot dogs…”

“Those are dinner? Is that how you treat someone to a meal?”

“Hahaha, just kidding. Look at you getting all worked up.”

“I’m not worked up.”

“Whether you are or not, let’s go. Be careful, my bike… is really fast.”

“Who are you trying to scare?”

“Vroom!!”

The roar of the motorcycle was Mia’s response.

Mia was a woman who loved freedom. Many people seemed free because of life’s circumstances or because they chose to be carefree.

What is true freedom?

It’s the kind of freedom where both your mind and environment are carefree. So those seemingly wealthy people who can control their lives aren’t truly free. They face constant pressure, and their immense wealth becomes a shackle.

They also face the risk of falling from their high positions, potentially ending up in prison.

This world maintains a relative balance in a subtle way.

No matter how human society develops, no matter how the world operates.

There are always inexplicable aspects of fairness.

This time, Mia’s bike was indeed fast. Sam felt a thrill as if his soul was about to leave his body.

The wind rushed past, and if it weren’t for the helmet, even breathing would have been difficult.

Sam tightened his grip around her waist a bit more.

The softness of her waist in his arms made him want to let his hands wander upwards.

But Sam wasn’t that lecherous.

Mia took Sam to a Starlight Bar-style barbecue restaurant.

Sam thought Mia and her sister Aurora had similar tastes.

“You’re not planning to drink again, are you?” Sam saw through her intentions.

Mia replied matter-of-factly.

“Why not? Something good happened, and you’re on break. Why wouldn’t we drink?”

Sam wasn’t particularly interested in drinking. He glanced around.

“Nothing, just thinking it’s a bit cold to be drinking…”

“Then we’ll have Brandy instead of beer.”

Indeed, in the world of drinking enthusiasts, no external difficulty could deter them.

Entering the barbecue restaurant, it was bustling with people and lively conversations.

Mia smiled and said.

“Do you know why these people are so happy?”

Sam replied, annoyed.

“It’s not just because of the alcohol, is it?”

“Of course, God wants humans to be happy, and alcohol is proof.”

“What kind of twisted logic is that?”

“Twisted? It’s the truth, don’t you get it?”

They found an empty spot by the wall and sat down.

Soon, a waiter came with menus. Sam wasn’t picky and didn’t have any particular preferences, so he left the ordering to Mia.

She seemed to have been looking forward to this for a while, ordering quickly and even asking for Brandy.

“You’re really going for Brandy? Beer would be fine.”

Sam tried to dissuade her.

He still remembered how he had to help a drunken Aurora home not long ago, and he didn’t want her sister to have a repeat performance.

Mia didn’t care.

“What’s the point of beer? You’re young, you should be more enthusiastic and excited. Otherwise, I’ll look down on you.”

“Why do I need your approval? I just need to approve of myself.”

Mia huffed.

“You used to drink whiskey with me. Why are you getting more timid?”

“That was occasional. When have you seen me drink alone? I don’t actually like drinking that much.”

“Really? But I think more young people are getting into drinking these days.”

“Of course, young people’s entertainment has become KTV and bars. How can they not drink?”

Sam still preferred the life in Cedarwood.

Whether it was day or night, there were always friends to play with. Whether in the fields or by the river, there were countless moments of laughter.

The neon lights of this bustling city seemed dazzling.

Technology had improved the quality of human life.

But simple, pure joys were becoming harder to find and reclaim.

“You don’t seem to like those places?”

As they spoke, plates of barbecue and Brandy arrived.

Sam shook his head.

“Not really. It’s too chaotic, too noisy.”

Mia laughed.

“A boy as outstanding as you in a bar would probably get free drinks. Plenty of women would want to chat you up… oh, maybe even some men.”

Sam rolled his eyes at her.

“Don’t disgust me. I don’t have that kind of fetish.”

“But don’t you think you’re a bit contradictory?”

“What do you mean?”

Mia thought for a moment.

“Look, you always say you’re a womanizer. But you don’t go to places where womanizers like to hang out.”

Sam looked at her, amused.

“Maybe I have high standards. I don’t like the women who go to those places… and the quality isn’t great.”

Hearing this, Mia seemed to think of something.

Her cheeks flushed slightly. She raised her glass to Sam.

Sam had no choice but to clink glasses with her.

But just as he took a sip and hadn’t swallowed it yet, he heard…

“So, how’s my quality?”

“Spit! Cough, cough.”

Sam sprayed the drink out.
