Chapter 184 Friends with benefits
The weekend passed by in a blur. Liam spent it with Ying Sheng. Because he was afraid she would do anything stupid, he kept an eye on her.
During the weekend she was too calm. It's like she didn't cry or fight with her parents. They spent the day watching movies and playing games.
Their relationship got closer during this time.
Liam rubbed his eyes as he got done from his bed. Today was Monday and he had to go to work. He really didn't want to leave Ying Sheng alone but he had to submit a report. The moment he finishes he would come home to her.
Liam walked to the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and took a shower. Once he finished he put on a casual pants and T- shirt.
Liam came out of his room and walked towards Ying Sheng's room. Everyday when he wakes up he checks up on her. This has been a normal morning routine for him now.
Liam knocked on the door but no one answered. He arched his brows before he opened the door.
Liam was expecting to see her asleep or something but the he was greeted with a nearly made bed.
He frowned and called her but no one answered.
Liam entered the room and begin to panic when Ying Sheng didn't respond. He walked towards the bathroom but the door was opened ajar.
Letting go of the breath he didn't know he was holding, Liam made his way down the hallway.
Suddenly, the smell of pancakes assaulted his nostrils making his stomach growl.
Liam smiled and made his way to the kitchen. Liam saw Ying Sheng humming to a song playing on the bluetooth headset he got her.
Liam lips curved into a mischievous smile as he decided to sneak up on her. Ying Sheng was too focused on her music to notice Liam in the kitchen.
She shook her body to the rhythm of the beat as she mixed the flour with the egg.
Liam walked slowly towards her he placed his hand onto her waist and began tickling her.
"Whaaaaa!"
Ying Sheng screamed by the sensation since she was caught off guard. She spun around on her heels and the flour she was holding spilled on Liam's face.
"Ying Sheng!" Liam said as he touched his face which he was sure was probably white.
Seeing his face full of flour, Ying Sheng bursted into fits of laughter. Tears of laughter spilled from her eyes as she leaned over the counter holding her stomach.
Before Ying Sheng could comprehend what was going on, Liam grabbed the flour and spilled it on her face too.
"Liam... Liam you….I will kill you!"
Liam broke into pearls of laughter as he ran away with Ying Sheng chasing behind him.
Once closer to him, Ying Sheng jumped on him and they both fell down on the floor with Ying Sheng hovering over Liam.
They both stared at each other and Liam blushed.
Ying Sheng chuckled, "You got something here."
Liam blinked, "Huh?" He asked in a daze.
Ying Sheng reached towards his cheeks which was tainted red.
Liam stilled the moment her hands caressed his cheeks. Liam's heart started pounding in his chest.
Ying Sheng slowly stroked his cheeks as her eyes flashed a sad light.
"Thank you, Liam." Ying Sheng mumbled.
Liam just stared at her in utter silence before he did something that shocked both of them. He grabbed the back of her head and smashed his lips into hers.
Ying Sheng widened her eyes in surprise. Before she started kissing him back. Butterflies fluttered in Liam's stomach as her soft lips moved against his.
Ying Sheng deepened the kiss as a soft moan escaped from her lips. That sound sent a rush of adrenaline in Liam's body..
The sound of the fire alarm snapped both of them into reality. Ying Sheng pulled away and stood up.
Liam blushed when he realized what he had done.
He kissed her. Why—will she hate him?
Before he could say a word, Ying Sheng rushed to the kitchen. She turned off the burner and grabbed a cloth to handle the hot pan.
Liam stood up and went to turned off the alarm. When he went back to kitchen, Ying Sheng as leaning against the counter with her head hung low.
Liam frowned and he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Ying….Sheng. Are you okay? I'm sorry…..I didn't mean….."
Ying Sheng looked up and smiled at Liam.
"It's okay. We are both adults and it was just a kiss. No biggie."
Liam felt like his heart was trapped in a cactus plant. He felt so painful.
"Yes….just a kiss." He forced a smile as he said.
"Yes, it's not like it's our first time kissing Cutie. If you didn't have someone you like I will have suggested friends with benefits. But…."
Ying Sheng winked at Liam making the tips of his ears red.
Suddenly Liam frowned at her words. He really hates this misunderstanding with Ying Sheng.
If he knew she was going to misunderstanding he wouldn't have said that. But he was not in a hurry. She was going through a lot already and he didn't want to risk this friendship with her.
When the time is right, he would tell her. He just needs the perfect time.
"That….I burnt the pancakes." Ying Sheng pouted.
Liam chuckled and shook his head.
"It's okay. We can still cook another one. I will help you."
Ying Sheng beamed and nodded.
"Alright."
With the help of Liam, Ying Sheng prepared breakfast for them.
"That before I forget, the school requested for your transcripts. So...you have to go for them."
Ying Sheng frowned but nodded.
"Alright."
Liam looked at her across the dining table and nodded.
"If you want, you can wait for me to come back from work. I need to submit a report once I finish I will come home."
Ying Sheng shook her head, "No I will be fine. Don't worry."
