The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 433

Chapter 433: God wants us to be happy, and alcohol is proof
When the dazzling fireworks ended, the lingering excitement of the celebration slowly faded away.

After the series of small incidents and details, the atmosphere seemed much warmer than before, even harmoniously so, which felt a bit unusual.

Angel even ordered a few more drinks.

If you don’t drink at a moment like this, when will you? Wait until you’re old and lying on your deathbed for an IV drip? (Just kidding).

Sam remembered that classic saying.

[God wants us to be happy, and alcohol is proof.]

Sam indeed felt that at this moment, everyone should enjoy happiness.

Isabella was naturally the most enthusiastic, even getting more animated as she drank.

Just tonight, Sam saw her kiss Angel three times and Sophie five times.

But such a harmonious atmosphere would inevitably come to an end.

Isabella seemed a bit dazed, her face flushed, her eyes a bit hazy.

“So, this club activity is officially over. No objections, right?”

Among them, the clearest-headed Sam nodded.

“I have no objections.”

Sophie seemed a bit tipsy, her drinking capacity perhaps boosted by her mood tonight.

“I… don’t care.”

Angel, with her eyes half-closed, looked stunning with the flush on her face.

“Have I ever gotten drunk?”

Isabella nodded with a smile.

“Alright, it’s about time. The crowd has thinned out. Let’s wrap it up?”

No one objected.

Though the night still seemed long, not every bit of happiness needed to be squeezed dry.

People often get tired and bored from overindulgence, always falling into the trap of insatiable desire.

They went downstairs together.

Indeed, there were fewer people, and the once bustling shops were closing one by one.

There were fewer cars on the streets, leaving the roads empty.

As they reached the roadside, a figure waved from not far away.

“Isabella!”

It was a young woman in a thick down jacket, with short hair, waving as she walked over.

Isabella smiled and introduced her to the group.

“This is my neighbor. She was also celebrating nearby, and we agreed to go home together. So you don’t have to worry about me. Take care of yourselves~”

Sam nodded.

“Goodbye, Senior.”

“Will we only meet again next semester?”

Isabella blinked.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh.

“Friends can meet anytime.”

“Remember that. I’m off! Bye-bye.”

Isabella and her neighbor walked away along the street, and with his keen hearing, Sam could still hear their conversation from a distance.

“You stayed out drinking this late too?”

“Yeah… had a great time… Wow, who was that guy just now? So handsome! Is he your boyfriend?”

“No~ Just a junior.”

Now, only Sophie, Angel, and Sam stood by the roadside.

Elowen’s car arrived, waiting quietly.

Angel said nothing, calmly opening the car door, then looking up at Sam.

Sam understood her meaning and said to her.

“You’ve had quite a bit to drink. Go home and rest. I’ll take her home.”

Hearing this, Sophie looked up in surprise.

She had thought that tonight’s event wouldn’t happen, that the prophecy might fail, or perhaps it was just a joke.

But those words… came from his mouth, in front of Angel.

Wasn’t he afraid?

She didn’t even have time to feel happy, only worry.

Angel’s gaze didn’t waver, her expression shrouded in mystery.

Sam knew his words were somewhat ‘offensive.’

Especially to this girl.

But tonight, it had to be done. If he couldn’t get through this, he would have no chance in the future.

No matter how smooth things seemed.

He added.

“I’ll come back to you after I take her home.”

Angel looked at Sam.

She tilted her head slightly.

“I know you haven’t given up on your idea, but your courage is growing.”

Sam shook his head.

“I’m not a fool. By saying this now, you should feel that I don’t want to lose you.”

Angel smiled.

“If you don’t want to lose me, why say this and make such a choice in front of me?”

Sam sighed.

“I said I wouldn’t deceive you, and I won’t leave you.”

Angel turned her head, looking at Sophie.

She walked over.

Sophie had heard some of the conversation, but wasn’t sure what it meant, though she had a vague intuition.

But as Angel approached, things became clearer.

She stared directly at Sophie.

“Do you want him to take you home? Or… do you dare let him take you home?”

What did that mean?

Was she implying he might do something regrettable, or that something unexpected might happen if she let him take her home?

The cold wind blew past Sophie’s face.

She suddenly realized.

She had avoided too many things in her supposedly strong life.

The pain her parents left her, she had never faced.

The exclusion and loneliness from others growing up, she had only accepted, never faced.

And now…

She didn’t want to avoid it anymore.

Moreover, he had said those words for her. If she avoided it… Sam would be disappointed.

She didn’t even need to look at Sam.

She just stared at the imposing girl in front of her.

“I want to, and I dare. Do you?”

Angel scoffed.

“Indeed… even you’ve been changed by him.”

Yes.

Angel herself had been changed by Sam, no denying it.

That was the reality.

“Alright, I’ll give you this chance. Just tonight, think carefully about what you want to do.”

With that, Angel didn’t even look at Sam, getting into the car.

“Bang!” She slammed the door.

The car quickly sped away.

The swift and decisive action left everyone stunned.

Now, only Sophie and Sam stood on the somewhat deserted street, illuminated by a lonely streetlamp.

Sophie felt a bit dizzy, her cheeks flushed.

But she wasn’t cold. She turned to Sam.

“She’s angry.”

“Seems like it…” Sam smiled wryly.

How could she not be?

But there was no turning back.

“Sorry.”

Sophie said softly.

Sam looked at her and smiled.

“Why apologize?”

“Because…” Sophie couldn’t finish. Should she say it was because her presence made things difficult for him?

But that seemed too pretentious.

Sam didn’t wait for her to figure out how to say it, instead smiling and saying.

“Let’s go home.”

They quickly hailed a taxi.

Sitting together in the back seat.

This time, Sophie felt different. It wasn’t the first time sitting with this boy, but usually on a bus, even close, it didn’t feel like this.

But the back seat of the taxi, though spacious, felt like a deliberate closeness with him beside her.

She felt uneasy, her head spinning.

She didn’t dare look at his face, just stared out the window.

Watching the lights flicker with the passing streetlights.

Like time passing, showing its existence to mortals.

And what was she thinking?

Not about how cold it was tonight.

Not about whether drinking so much would give her a headache tomorrow.

But… he was beside her, what would he do?

“Are you cold?”

Sam’s voice made Sophie tense, almost freezing.

She could clearly feel Sam’s arm against her shoulder. She lowered her head slightly.

“You gave me… that gift. I don’t feel cold.”

“But what if I think you’re cold?”

“Huh?”

Unexpected words from him. As she looked up in surprise, Sam reached out.

From an angle she couldn’t see.

Then she felt it clearly.

Not holding hands.

Not putting her hand in his pocket.

But his strong, slender arm, wrapping around her shoulder.

Not pulling her into his embrace.

But pulling a girl who had always lived in her lonely world, seemingly strong but actually lonely…

Into a world of warmth and spring.
