Chapter 197 - Pizza (2/2)

Liam knew she was lying but he didn't push her or force her to tell her what she was really thinking about.

”I'm going to bring it, wait for me.”

Liam said as he walked towards the kitchen.

A few minutes later, a loud buzzer sounded from the kitchen. Soon Liam came back holding a large rectangular pizza that sent a dizzy aroma through the room.

Ying Sheng's stomach rumbled when she saw the pizza. Liam's mother had prepared for them. She had sent someone to deliver it to me just a few minutes ago.

”Here it is.” Liam chanted as he placed the pizza on the dinning table. Ying Sheng was already waiting for him there.

”Be careful it's hot.” Liam said.

Ying Sheng looked up at him and nodded.  For the next half hour, Ying Sheng ate the most delicious pizza in her twenty years of existence.

Ying Sheng found out, she couldn't stop eating even when she had reached her limit. By the time they had taken the last bite of the pizza, Ying Sheng's stomach was protesting.

When Liam had suggested, they watched a rest for a while for the food to digest.  She agreed.

Liam plopped down on the floor in front of the glowing fire and stretched out, leaning his back comfortably against the couch.

Without saying anything, Ying Sheng laid on the floor and rested her head on Liam's lap.

Ying Sheng grinned at his surprised look, before closing her eyes and letting out a deep breath.

”Don't act like I'm murdering someone Cutie, I'm just resting on your lap.”

Ying Sheng said sarcastically with her eyes still closed.

Liam blushed at her words. ”Hmm….”

A soft smile formed on Liam's lips as he gently stroked Ying Sheng's forehead.

His fingers run through her now black chin-length hair. Liam was quite surprised when she came back with Dong Yishan with a short black hairstyle. He was so used to her red hair that he hardly recognized the woman in front of him.

”Have you forgotten me already, Cutie?” She had asked him with a mischievous smile.

Liam just stared at her. At that moment he wanted to run his fingers through her hair and plant a kiss on her forehead but he knew he couldn't.

She looked so beautiful with her new hair that he couldn't bear to look away. Even though her skin was pale and her wrists were wrapped with bandages. Her beauty wasn't destroyed.

Liam didn't know if he liked the fierce red haired who always teased him or this new quiet and closed off Ying Sheng. Ever since she came back from the hospital, she has become more quiet than usual and always seems to be in a deep thought.

Her expression was always unfathomable making it difficult for Liam to know what was going on in her head.

Ying Sheng let out a deep breath as if finally taken a break, a break from life.

The gentle warmth from the fire, and the stated feeling from within allowed Ying Sheng to relax more than usual.

With her eyes closed, Ying Sheng smiled and Liam's gaze stopped on her lips. He really wanted to kiss her right now.
