92 Disgrace

When they reached Liam's house, he entered a series of code, opened the door and gestured for her to enter.

"Do you live alone?" Ying Sheng inquired as she removed her shoes.

"Yeah, but my brother sometimes comes here." He replied calmly.

Ying Sheng nodded as she took in the sight of his apartment. It was simple and fitting for him. Suddenly she heard him gasped loud and sprung around to kick away Lucas's boxer he had dropped onto the floor behind a sofa.

Ying Sheng tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded.

"Okay."

Liam offered a soft smile at her. The moment he motioned towards the bathroom, the light went out.

Liam froze. He had always had a phobia for darkness since he was a kid.

"Liam.." Ying Sheng muttered, but he was too shaken by the sudden darkness to speak.

"Liam!" Ying Sheng yelled, snapping him out of his stupor.

"Ye-ah," he said with a shaky voice. Ying Sheng raised her brows.

"Lei—Zhao" She whispered as she gripped his hands, his shirt and buried her face in his chest. Yan Mei sobbed into his chest. Pain, fear exhaustion and frustration bubbling uncontrolled within her.

Lei Zhao held her cold body tightly trying to warm her up. Yan Mei's body was tense pressed up against him.

"Sorry..I didn't find you earlier."

He mumbled softly then he scooped her from the floor and hugged her to the bedroom. Lei Zhao placed her gently on the bed, held her close for a moment then planted a kissed on her forehead.

He decided to look for warm clothes for her since she was wearing a crop top and shorts making her body freaking cold. Lei Zhao got down from the bed in search for a sweater for her but she gripped his shirt stoping him in his tracks.

"Don't---go." She pleaded as she pulled his shirt.

"Alright." Lei Zhao said as he smiled softly at her. He unbuttoned his shirt and helped her to wear it.

Once he finished he laid on the bed beside her and pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly. Lei Zhao covered them with the quilt.

Yan Mei sobbed into his chest unceasingly, hands clutching his innerwear vest. Lei Zhao held her in silence, rocking her slowly as her tears soaked his chest. A few minutes later, Yan Mei felt her eyes growing heavier and heavier. Finally, she closed her eyes as her mind dragged her into the oblivion of sleep.

Liam awkwardly nodded.

'For the second time tonight, he had disgraced himself in front of the woman he secretly loves. Way to go, Liam." He mentally scolded himself.

"Yeah, but my brother sometimes comes here." He replied calmly.

Ying Sheng nodded as she took in the sight of his apartment. It was simple and fitting for him.
