Chapter 307 - Mr. Giver (2/2)

When people were in a romantic relationship instead of just a friendship, things got more intimate between them. The thought made heat flush all through her body. She figured that would be one of the tests to see if they would be any good together. Intimacy was important, and she hoped that they would click as well as they did mentally. However, all that would take place later. They were taking things slow for now.

”So, when did you start liking me?” Ying Sheng asked him within a light laugh, knowing the question would make him blush.

Liam playfully g.r.o.a.n.e.d and threw his head back before shaking it. He smiled bashfully as he stared down into the steadily emptying to-go box.

”Not too long after we met. There's just… something about you,” Liam murmured, the last few words sounding like a mumble as he grew shy.

Ying Sheng felt warmth bloom in her c.h.e.s.t at his words. She wasn't used to such sincere compliments. Her ex-boyfriends told her she was hot and looked good in a skirt, but those weren't compliments. They were attempts to get her in their bed. She certainly didn't receive any high praise from her parents, so Liam's words meant more to her than she could properly explain.

”I've always thought you were cute. When we started living together and I really got to know you even more, I realized that you were one of the best people I've ever met,” Ying Sheng told him, wanting to be honest about that.

She kept things from him, but she wanted him to know how she saw him and that he meant a lot to her. He wasn't just a roommate or a friend. He felt like so much more to her, which was why she wanted to try this date out. Maybe there could be more to them.

Liam rested his cheek against his hand as he smiled into his palm.

”Damn, you're making me feel like the girl on this date,” he chuckled.

”Guys deserve to be fawned over too,” Ying Sheng pointed out before popping the last few fries in her mouth. She wiped her hands off on a napkin before gathering the trash and standing up. ”Main course? I mean… I'm already looking at one…”

Liam scoffed at her playfully as he stood from the table and joined her side. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close, her hip bumping against his.

”Your appetite doesn't come anywhere close to mine,” he murmured in a low voice.

Ying Sheng was sure that her eyes grew into huge circles as she stared at him, feeling surprised at his boldness. It was new… and pretty s.e.xy. She knew that he was a v.i.r.g.i.n, but she had this whisper in the back of her mind that told her that he would treat her right in bed. He seemed like a giver, but she was too.

Ying Sheng followed along quietly, willing herself to get herself under control. Those things came later, but she couldn't help but think about getting tangled up in the sheets with him. He was alluring in unexpected ways, ones that struck her harder than what she was used to.

She wasn't sure why yet. Maybe it was because she never expected this to happen or because he seemed so innocent. Regardless, she'd have her eyes on him all night, while struggling to keep her hands off of him for now.
