The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 63

To think of changing me, you are the first
“You’re talking nonsense!”

On the street outside the courtyard, the orange glow of the sunset bathed Angel’s beautiful face, casting a faint blush upon her cheeks.

It seemed like the blush of the setting sun, but could it actually be the shy modesty of a young girl?

Sam stood up and picked up the small cat from the ground.

“Do you keep cats?” he asked.

Angel remained silent, not uttering a word.

Sam smiled and said, “I quite like this cat, could you look after it for me?”

Angel frowned.

“If you like cats, why don’t you take care of it yourself? What do you mean by asking me to do it for you? Am I your servant?”

Clearly, for Angel, pride was of utmost importance. To her, the idea of helping could also be a form of domination.

“My room isn’t big enough to keep it, and besides, I just let you eat my semen. Don’t you think you should compensate me for that?”

Angel almost kicked him in the face, exasperated by his shamelessness.

“You’ve got some nerve! It was you who took advantage, don’t expect any compensation from me.”

“How about this: I promise that next time you ask for anything, I’ll comply with your request to draw, would that be okay?”

Angel hesitated for a moment. The proposal was tempting.

Frankly, she felt that the events in the room earlier were not enough. Sam’s offer seemed like an opportunity delivered right to her doorstep.

But Angel was not naive. Why would this boy make such a significant concession for a mere cat, especially after his previous reluctance?

Or perhaps, he too was hooked and was simply looking for a suitable reason to meet again?

“Are you sure it’s just because of a cat?” Angel questioned his motives.

Sam smiled. “I just thought you might like this cat, that’s all.”

He handed the cat to Angel, and as she looked at Sam’s expression, she seemed to understand something.

It wasn’t for the reason Angel thought. In fact, Sam had already realized that she was quite fond of the little cat, yet she insisted on pretending otherwise.

But when did he find out? Could it be during the time freeze, he was actually conscious?

Angel speculated.

At that moment, Sam added, “Cats are very spiritual animals. If you didn’t like it, it would clearly feel it. Since it doesn’t dislike you, it shows you actually like it.”

“What kind of logic is that…”

Angel’s expression showed disdain, but she took the cat from Sam and held it in her arms.

Sam thought for a moment and said, “It needs a name. How about little Angel?”

“Do you want to die?”

Angel frowned, and Sam couldn’t help but laugh.

“Then you name it.”

“I think Biscuit is a nice name.”

“Are you sure?”

“That’s the name. And don’t forget what you promised me.”

“Of course, do you think I’m like you? Although you promised, you don’t follow the rules at all.”

“Sam!”

“Ah, darn, I’m going to miss the last bus. I have to go now, we’ll talk next time. Bye~”

As he waved goodbye in the lingering glow of the sunset, Angel suddenly felt an impulse to use her time-freezing ability to kiss him farewell. Unfortunately, she had already used that power earlier in the day.

So, she could only watch Sam wave without any expression, refraining from saying the polite words of farewell.

As Sam’s figure gradually disappeared, Angel looked down at the small cat in her arms.

“I hope you’re more obedient than he is.”

Holding the cat, Angel turned and entered the courtyard. At that moment, Selena curiously peeked out.

“Eh? Sis, where did this extra cat come from?”

Angel looked at Selena, put the cat down, and then said to the girl, “I’ll give you the game console later.”

“Huh?”

“But you have to take good care of this cat.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Is there a problem?”

“I promise to complete the task!”

Watching Selena joyfully pick up the cat, Angel’s expression didn’t change much.

She just seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“To think of changing me, you are the first.”

…

“I’m really sorry, Sam, for calling you in to cover the shift today. I just didn’t have any other choice…”

Inside the convenience store, Mrs. Margaret looked apologetically at the young man, now dressed in his work uniform.

Sam smiled.

“It’s okay, since your child is sick, you should hurry back and take care of him. I understand it’s not easy for you.”

“Thank you, Sam.”

It seemed Sam’s weekend plans had taken an unexpected turn.

He had planned to relax at home with a cold coke and play games with Louis, but then he unexpectedly received a message from Mrs. Margaret.

Her child had suddenly fallen ill, and she had to go back to take care of him, leaving Sam to cover her shift.

The others apparently had no time.

Sam didn’t refuse. After all, he had nothing particularly important to do, and the matter with Angel had temporarily come to a close. He was feeling quite relaxed.

As the time neared nine o’clock and the customers dwindled, Sam began to feel bored.

Working in a convenience store really wasn’t exciting. Going home to play games seemed much more appealing.

Ten minutes later, a somewhat unexpected face appeared before him.

With hair still damp from a shower, dressed in a light green short-sleeved T-shirt, and showcasing long, slender legs, Sophie stood there.

Sam glanced at the suddenly appeared Sophie and wasn’t surprised anymore.

She lived nearby, and even if she didn’t want to see him, there was always the possibility of bumping into him while buying necessities.

But Sam showed no reaction, not even letting his gaze linger on her for more than two seconds.

It’s better not to provoke this self-absorbed girl unless necessary. Moreover, having previously targeted her with the eye drops, Sam felt slightly guilty.

Fortunately, Sophie didn’t pay much attention to Sam either. She just went in to shop.

However, a strange atmosphere was spreading. Perhaps even stranger than two people meeting and acting weird was deliberately pretending not to know each other.

It wasn’t until Sophie placed a bunch of items on the counter, including a toothbrush, towels, and two bars of chocolate, that the atmosphere shifted.

Do all smart people have a habit of liking sweets?

Sam didn’t ponder over it much, simply scanned the items and gave her the total.

As usual, Sophie paid the bill with a cold demeanor, and Sam thought that would be the end of it.

But unexpectedly,

“Snap.”

A bar of chocolate was taken out of the bag and placed in front of him.

Sam looked up at Sophie.

Still icy, but with an unnatural expression, Sophie looked towards the door.

“This is compensation, consider it an apology. I misunderstood you before.”

“What?”

Sam’s eyes widened.

Because the words coming out of Sophie’s mouth seemed as unlikely as the end of the world.

It was like a baby still in diapers telling him they had mastered nuclear fusion.
