Chapter 318 - Dance (1/2)

”I'm pretty sure we'll die of alcohol poisoning by then,” Liam commented with an amused look on his face.

Ying Sheng moved to sit next to Liam as the group chatted among themselves, nudging him with a smile.

”Wow, shots for Liam, huh?” She giggled, her cheeks already tinted pink.

”It's how she would want me to celebrate her,” Liam replied with a chuckle. Dong Yishan liked when everyone was having fun with her, so that was his gift to her, on top of the automatic wine opener he had bought her.

”You're right about that,” Ying Sheng agreed as she watched a waitress drop off a whole slate of tequila shots for the group to take. She reached forward and grabbed two, handing one off to Liam before playfully wrapping her arm around his so that they were intertwined.

”Oh, we're doing this number?” Liam chuckled as he moved close to her so that he could reach his shot.

”Go big or go home,” Ying Sheng pointed out as she beamed at him.

”You bitches are so cute!” Dong Yishan gasped out as she pointed at them before downing her shot, coaxing laughter from Xing Yue and Han Zigao as they lifted their glasses to Ying Sheng and Liam.

Liam felt his face burn a little, but he didn't have time to be bashful because Ying Sheng was motioning for him to take the shot. He tossed the glass back, the searing liquid rushing down his throat and burning through his c.h.e.s.t.

”Oh, that'll hurt tomorrow,” he grunted out as he placed his shot glass down. Tequila did awful things to him. ”Happy birthday, Dong Yishan .”

”Thanks! Oh! I love this song!” Dong Yishan gasped out before grabbing Zhao Li's hand and dragging him out to the nearby dance floor.

Han Zigao watched them run off with a laugh.

”I'll be hitting the bar,” he told them before getting up and leaving the lounge area.

Liam smirked a little as he finished sipping on his whiskey, watching Ying Sheng fluff her hair a little before smoothing her hands down the black fitted dress that she wore. He hoped that Ying Sheng had as much fun as Ying Sheng on her birthday. He would make sure that would happen, but he would have to think of a way to make that happen.

”I'm surprised she hasn't dragged you off yet,” Liam told Ying Sheng . Typically, Dong Yishan and Ying Sheng danced together.

”She's got boy fever tonight,” Ying Sheng smirked as she turned to watch Dong Yishan grind up on Zhao Li before looking back over at Liam. ”I mean, so do I.”

Liam scoffed playfully as he shook his head at her usual flirting. It still made him a little bashful, but he liked hearing it. She had only started seriously flirting lately, so he took it as a good sign of what was building between them so far.

”How are you doing so far?” Ying Sheng asked him, her playful nature diminishing slightly and giving away to a more serious tone.
