Chapter 116 - Ice Cream (2/2)

Ying Sheng beamed and followed him inside.

”Make yourself comfortable and feel like home. I will go take a shower.” Liam hurriedly uttered as he rushed to the bedroom. Before Ying Sheng could react, Liam was gone.

Ying Sheng heaved a sigh. She changed into the home slippers at the entrance. Looking at the oversize slippers on her feet, a smile formed on Ying Sheng's lips.

Looking at the disheveled state of Liam, Ying Sheng decided to help prepare him tea to help him get over his hangover.

Ying Sheng intruded in his kitchen and opened his fridge. Her jaw nearly dropped from all the foods in the fridge. This is the first time she has seen such a pack fridge in a guy's home. There were all kinds of food there.

Few minutes later, Liam appeared. He was in a sweatpants and white shirt, making him look like a teenager.

”What are you doing?” He asked Ying Sheng, who was sitting on the counter.

”Oh my! This chocolate fudge cake is soo good, especially with vanilla ice cream.” Ying Sheng m.o.a.ned in delight.

Liam sighed. ”You really like your ice cream don't you.” Liam commented.

”Of course. Ice cream is life.”

Liam narrowed his eyes when he saw the weird tea on the counter.

”What is this?” He wrinkled his nose as he picked up the cup.

”That is for you. It would help with the hangover.” Ying Sheng replied as she scooped an ice cream in her mouth.

”For me? Is this even drinkable?” Liam scrunched his face.

Ying Sheng laughed, ”It works like magic. Trust me. Go on drink.”

Taking a deep breath, he gulped down the weird tea.

The bitterness spread on his tongue, ”What is this?!”

Liam squealed as he quickly took water from the fridge. Ying Sheng held her stomach as she bust out into laughter.

”Relax, you will live.”

”You-”

Liam's stomach growled, cutting him off. He flushed and scratched his hair.

”Have you eaten breakfast?” Liam asked Ying Sheng as he removed food from the fridge.

'Yes. Where from all these foods in your fridge?” Ying Sheng questioned.

”My mom, she prepared it and sent them over.” Liam said with a soft smile.

Thinking about his mother, he realized he hadn't call her and his phone was in voice mail. His mother will surely scold him if he calls her. Thinking about this, Liam sighed.

”Your mother must really love you to personally cook for you.” Ying Sheng said with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Liam noticed her sour tone and tried to change the topic.

”So how is school?” Liam asked as he placed a bowl of rice in the microwave.

”Ah, good I guess.” Ying Sheng said nonchalantly.

”So, why weren't you picking up your calls and I didn't hear from you too.” Ying Sheng paused.

”I-thought you didn't want to be friends anymore, so you were intentionally avoiding me.” Ying Sheng blurt out her fears these past few days. Her voice thick with emotions.

Liam froze and looked up at her. She was playing with her spoon with loneliness surrounding her.

Suddenly Liam remembered the night he hit her with his car. Liam knew her mental health was pretty messed up and she was dealing with her own issues.

”Ah, sorry. I- of course I still want you as a friend.” Liam blurted.

'Even though I can't have you as my own.' Liam added inwardly.
