Chapter 318 - Dance (2/2)

Liam was thankful that she thought to check on him. She was a caring person, and she wasn't only like that to him. She was that way with their friends too, even if she didn't realize it.

”I'm good. It's nice to be out with you,” he told her, having enjoyed their night out so far. They hadn't done much but drink and chat with their friends, but he liked the company. It was a nice change of pace from long days at work.

”We'll go out again together soon for our second date,”

Ying Sheng pointed out to him as she flashed him a bright smile.

Liam hadn't thought up a plan for their next date yet, but he knew that it would come to him eventually. He wanted to do even better than their first one, so it would take some brainstorming to think of a better effort.

”I know. I'm trying to think of a way to impress you,” Liam chuckled. He could go all out, but he wasn't sure in what way. He would have to be creative.

”You know that you don't have to try to impress me,” Ying Sheng told him pointedly as she nudged him with her shoulder.

Liam supposed that she was right, but he still wanted to ensure that she had a good time with him. Besides, it was only the second date. He could slow down his efforts a little around the fourth or fifth date since it'll be more of a regular thing for them.

”Well, I'm going to,” he smirked at her, intent on making it fun for them.

”I know you are. Stubborn,” Ying Sheng laughed with a playful roll of her eyes.

Liam joined in her laughter and leaned over to press a gentle kiss to her temple. The move was automatic, but it still felt natural, like he had been laying his lips on her for years. He wished that he had, but he supposed it was better late than never.

Ying Sheng flashed him an awed look before speaking.

”Careful. I won't be able to control myself if you keep that up,” she lightly teased at him.

Liam felt his heart jolt a little at her words, wondering if she was fully joking around or not. He couldn't tell at times.

”It's a party. You're supposed to let loose,” he commented, bordering on joking and serious. He wanted her to have fun in whatever way she wanted to. He was just glad to be here with her.

”You're right. You know, you owe me a dance,”

Ying Sheng commented as she raised an eyebrow at him.

Liam glanced at the dance floor with a slightly wary look. The song was an upbeat electronic one, which would require him to move quite a bit. However, he could tell that she really wanted to dance with him, and he wasn't about to let her down. He just had to watch his feet.
