Chapter 80 - Happy pill (2/2)

Ying Sheng nodded. ”It's far the best ice cream I have ever had!” She replied truthfully.

”I'm glad.” Liam grinned, looking satisfied. He looked happy; Ying Sheng realized that ever since she met him she has been smiling a lot. He was like a happy pill for her.

”Tell me about yourself Ying Sheng.” Liam asked taking a bite of his ice cream.

Ying Sheng froze for a minute. The last time someone had asked her this question was when she went to see that psychologist Lei Zhao had recommended.

Taking a lengthy breath, she asked, ”What do you want to know?”

”For starters, how old are you?” Liam asked.

”Twenty-one.”

Liam raised his brows and nodded, ”So you're in college?”

Ying Sheng nodded, ”Yes, I am.”

A smile plastered on Liam's face.

”What are you studying?”

Ying Sheng ate her ice cream before replying flatly.

”Medicine.”

Liam choked on the ice cream in his mouth and widened his eyes.

”Medi-cine?”

Ying Sheng snorted, ”Yes, why? You think you're the only smartass?”

Liam shook his head, ”No-no I just….” He trailed off.

Should he tell her he wasn't excepting someone like her to do medicine? But that would be harsh.

”Wasn't expecting a crazy girl like me to study medicine?” Ying Sheng continued for him.

Liam scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, ”Honestly, yeah.”

Ying Sheng shrugged, ”It''s okay. I don't even know what I'm doing there. I hate the program, to be honest.”

Liam furrowed his brows, ”Then why are you doing it? You should study something you're interested in.”

Ying Sheng chortled, ”Tell that to my mother.”

Liam opened his mouth to say something but closed it. He knew she was going through some issues of her own, and he didn't want to pry until she was ready to share it with him.

”So….what would you like to study though?”

A sad smile tugged at the corners of her lips, ”I- I don't know. At twenty-one and I don't even know what I want to study, I might probably be the biggest loser on earth.” Ying Sheng said sarcastically.

Liam took her hand which was resting on the table, ”It's perfectly okay if you don't know what you want. Life is not a race you just have to set your own pace. Your friend's pace is not your own. just go on your own, steadily.”
