Chapter 117 - Steal the girl (1/2)

Ying Sheng smiled when he heard him, ”So why weren't you picking up my calls?” She raised her brows as she asked.

Liam faked a cough and removed the food from the microwave. He picked a spoon and came to sit beside her on the counter.

”Do you really want to know?” Liam asked as he stared at her. Ying Sheng nodded.

”Of course, I do.” She rested her chin in her palm as she looked at him, waiting for him to speak. Looking at the uncomfortable look on his face, Ying Sheng's right brows shot up.

”Wait, since you were drunk and looked like a zombie. Did a girl break your heart?” Ying Sheng asked teasingly.

Liam flushed and bit his lips. He nodded, ”No-Yes... Well---something… like that.”

Ying Sheng widened her eyes in surprise.

”Really? Oh, my! Did she reject you or what? Because as far as I know, you're single.”

Liam played with his food and his mood dampened thinking about what he saw.

”Not really. I was going to ask her out, but I never got the chance. When I got to the place, she was already in another man's arms.” Liam mumbled.

”Huh? So, you are sad because you saw her hugging another dude?”

Liam nodded.

Ying Sheng chuckled, ”Do you know who the guy is?” Ying Sheng inquired as a gleam of deviltry passed through her eyes.

”When I asked her, she said he was a friend.” Liam stared at his food in a daze as he replied.

”So… what's your problem?”

Liam arched his brows when he heard her, ”I-I...” he trailed off awkwardly.

Ying Sheng sighed, ”Is she married to the guy?”

Liam shook his head, ”No.”

”Is she pregnant for the guy?” Ying Sheng probed further.

Liam's eyes subconsciously fell on Ying Sheng's stomach.

”No, I don't think so.” He replied.

”Are they engaged?” Liam's frowned at her questions.

”Is there something you want to say?”

Ying Sheng grinned and nodded, ”since you like her why should you lock yourself at home and give up?” She taunted as she took a bit of her cake.

”Ah, what do you want to say?” Liam asked.

Ying Sheng chortle, ”Simple. Are you going to watch your first love slip away without a fight?”

Liam turned to look at her and saw her eyes gleaming.

”Erm...No. You're right. Since she is my first love, I would fight for her!”

Liam said as he gazed into her eyes.

”Good!” Ying Sheng beamed.

”Remember, if you want something and it's worth it, fight for it.” Ying Sheng mumbled as a trace of sadness passed through her eyes.

Liam nodded, ”I think I would hate myself f I let her go.”

Ying Sheng chuckled, ”Yeah, steal the girl from the guy. Who knows, you might be doing the girl a favor?”

Liam stared at her for a moment, 'What if I told you you're the girl? Would I have a chance?'

Liam asked himself.

”What?” Ying Sheng asked when she felt his eyes on her.

Liam blushed and cleared his throat.

”Ah, nothing. It just..I...I have never done this before. I feel like she wouldn't like a nerd like me.”

Ying Sheng scrunched her face, ”A nerd like you?”

Liam nodded, ”All girls like bad boys. Do you think she would accept me?”

Liam asked as he looked at her waiting for her response. Liam knew her answer would determine his next action. Whether he would fight for her or let her go.

”Cutie, there is nothing like a good boy. Deep down I know you can be bad as the bad boy women likes. All you have to do is unleash your inner bad boy.” Ying Sheng said and threw him a subtle wink.

Liam turned crimson red and averted his gaze.

”Then… how -do I -chase -her though?” Liam stuttered.

”What do you know about her? Do you know what she likes? What she dislikes? Her hobbies” Ying Sheng questioned.

”I think we should start from there.” Ying Sheng continued.

Liam's brows knitted together. He realized he didn't know much about Ying Sheng. All he knows is that she likes ice cream.

A soft smile spilled from his lips thinking about how her eyes would light up when she sees an ice cream. Ying Sheng narrowed her eyes when she saw the smile on his lips.

”Are you thinking about her?” she nudged her with her elbow as she asked.

The tip of Liam's ears turned red, and he smiled shyly nodding.

Even though Ying Sheng was smiling, she felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, but she ignored it.

”So...who is the lucky girl?” Ying Sheng inquired suddenly.

Liam froze for a second before blurting out, ”You.”
