Chapter 198 Stolen kisses

But Liam knew better than to kiss her. So he started a conversation with her in order to stop himself from doing something he would regret.

For the first time since she came home, Ying Sheng let her guard down completely and enjoyed a companionable moment with Liam.

They talked about things that did not really matter, yet she enjoyed the casual talk between them.

They talked until late in the night, it wasn't until Ying Sheng said she was going to bed that Liam realized it was late. She stood up from his lap.

"Can you stay for a few minutes?" Liam pleaded.

He didn't know what came over him but he reached out and gently caressed her cheeks with the palm of his hand.

Ying Sheng stiffened and blinked. Why is she always receiving mix signals from this guy?

Did he like her? Or he was just treating her as a friend.

"Stay a little longer." Liam said again gazing into her eyes.

Ying Sheng arched her brows. "Shouldn't you be the one to tell me to go and rest?" Ying Sheng chuckled as she said.

Liam blushed. He knew he was being selfish but he just couldn't bear to depart from her. Nearly loosing her has made him clingy. He wanted to spend every second with her.

Liam wanted to build happy moments with Ying Sheng to replace the bad ones. Seeing her in the pool of blood had traumatized him badly. Now he was afraid he would lose her.

He had fallen in love with a girl who had no will to live and one day might leave him.

Liam was scared; really scared. He has fallen in love with Ying Sheng so much that he knew she would take a part of him with her if she dies.

"Please stay." Liam said in a near whisper. His eyes searched hers for any sign of withdrawal as he drew nearer to her.

Ying Sheng felt herself in a trance as Liam moved closer to her. She didn't even get the time to react when his lips claimed hers in a soft and tender kiss. It's like he was afraid, he was going to hurt her.

Strange warmth invaded Ying Sheng, before she could comprehend what it was, Liam pulled away.

Ying Sheng realize the moment his lips touched hers the voices that had been accompanying her disappeared.

Liam blushed and fidgeted. He realized she was not responding to the kiss so he pulled away.

Was she angry with him? He couldn't bear to look at her rejection.

"S-sorry. " Liam said in a shaky voice.

Ying Sheng blinked and shook her head.

"Don't be…."

Ying Sheng felt violently confused. Part of her wanted to grab Liam's head and kiss him back. Yet a tiny part of her warned her not to. She wanted to cleave to him and never let him go.

Why did she have these thoughts about another man when she was in love with another?

Ying Sheng brought her gaze to meet his and saw his pure and innocent eyes staring at her with guilt.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight, Cutie." Ying Sheng smiled at him and strolled towards her bedroom without looking back.

Liam stared Ying Sheng leaving and he groaned.

"What have I done?" He whispered to himself.

************************

In the middle of night, Liam woke up to drink water at the kitchen. He has been tossing and moving in his bed the whole night. His mind kept reminding him of his stupid move to kiss Ying Sheng when she was this vulnerable.

After Liam finished drinking the water, he strolled towards his room. His brows furrowed when he heard whimpers coming out of Ying Sheng's room.

Was she having a nightmare? Liam quickly entered her room and crouched down beside her.

Tears were falling from her eyes as sobs racked through her.

"Ying Sheng….Ying Sheng!" Liam shook her but she seemed to be far gone in the nightmare.

Liam pushed her hair away from her face, and gently wiped her tears.

"Hey…..wake up."

Still Ying didn't even stir in her dreams. Liam frowned and roared out her name.

"Ying Sheng!"

Ying Sheng abruptly woke up and looked around her room. Her heart was pounding and she was sweating profusely as if she had ran a hundred miles.

"Hey….are you okay? What's wrong. " Liam asked softly as he grabbed her shoulders.

Ying Sheng shook her head and pulled her knees to her chest. She couldn't remember the nightmare she had but she knew was that it was terrible. She didn't want to even close her eyes. Because she was scared.

"It's okay, breath in….out." Liam said as he wiped the tears that was on her cheeks. Ying Sheng did what he said. Few minutes later, she found herself calming down.

"L-liam…" She whispered as she threw herself in his arms. Liam hugged her tightly as he rubbed her back.

Ying Sheng sobbed silently into his chest. "I'm afraid, Liam."

Ying Sheng whispered.

"What are you afraid of?" Liam frowned as he asked.

"I-I don't know but I feel like something bad is about to happen." Ying Sheng said through her sobs.

"Shss…..it's okay. Everything will be fine."

Liam coaxed her until she finally calmed down.

"Can you stay with me?" Ying Sheng said.

Liam smiled and nodded.

"Sleep. I will be right here."

Ying Sheng fidgeted, "That...I—you can sleep on the bed too. It's a big bed."

Liam searched his eyes for confirmation of her words before he nodded.

He laid down beside her rigidly until he heard her breathing indicating she had fallen asleep. Liam turned around to face her as he stared at her sleeping face. She looked so beautiful as the moon reflected on her face.

Ying Sheng moved closer in her sleep when she felt a warm object on her bed. She moved until she rested her head in Liam's chest and her leg entwined with his.

Liam smiled and wrapped his hands around her waist and slowly he closed his eyes.
