Chapter 334 - Trust (1/2)
It kind of sounds similar to being turned out,” she laughed softly, placing her other hand on his upper arm. The closer he got, the more her worries melted away. He had talked sense into her. His love for her was far stronger than the disregard that her parents had for her. She had to choose where to focus her energy at, and she didn't want to waste one more molecule on them when Liam was worth it all.
Liam blushed a little as he shook his head at her. Then, he stopped and glanced over at her, his smile turning slightly sly.
”You're not wrong. It feels like I'm on fire when I'm around you,” he told her as he moved his hand up to lightly tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. His eyes clashed with hers, a tense moment being shared between them.
Ying Sheng was so focused on how he was looking at her and how smooth his voice sounded that she didn't even remember why she was upset in the first place. He had put her mind at ease and had awakened her body all at the same time. She couldn't grasp how he was able to do that so easily to her, like he had some sort of spell over her.
”Well, I do know a good way to cool off,” she teased him as she played with the end of his shirt. The only thing that she wanted to do right now was to get even closer to him. She wanted to feel him, all of him, and she wanted to feel that connection with him again. Last time, she could've sworn their very souls had been joined together.
Plus, she just admitted to him that she loved him. Things had been taken to a new level, and she wanted to do something to make this moment even more memorable on top of the bakery celebration that he had put into place. She would be sure to indulge in it soon, but she had something else on her mind right now.
”Come on, love,” Liam smirked at her before taking her hand and leading her away from their apartment's makeshift bakery.

Despite all of their teasing and playing around, things eventually turned serious once they stumbled into Liam's bedroom, their hands already reaching for the other. All of the stress and sadness that he had felt earlier started melting away from her fiery touches as her hands drifted down his c.h.e.s.t and her lips c.a.r.e.s.sed his.
It seemed like his extended apology and bakery celebration had worked out, and now he knew that they felt the same about each other. It wasn't just a crush. It was love, and he couldn't be happier that things had turned out like this. For a moment there, he thought that they were doomed, even as an optimist.
”You're thinking too much,” Ying Sheng breathed out, her fingers lightly curling to tug at his hair.
Liam immediately snapped out of his thoughtful daze, focusing instead on what he was feeling. There were so many sensations already happening, and he knew that things were only going to grow more intense. His lips moved against hers in smooth, heated motions, falling in sync together.
