”I just stole the nerd’s first kiss.” She remarked boastfully.

Liam was shocked, and he couldn’t utter anything. Lots of thought were spiraling inside his head, making his brain chaotic.

’W-why did you do that?” He muttered as heat crept into his cheeks.

”Nothing… I just felt like kissing you.” Ying Sheng said, shrugging.

Liam’s brows snapped together, and he subconsciously touched his lips, which were slightly tingling from the kiss.

”Cutie, are you angry?” Ying Sheng teased.

Liam’s cheeks tainted red, and he shook his head.

Ying Sheng smiled and clapped her hands together.

”Alright, now it’s my turn.”

”Oh,” Liam mumbled softly.

Liam felt like a knife has been stabbed into his heart. He had to admit he was a little agitated that she had taken his first kiss and acted like it was nothing.

Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts, “I’m a virgin, I’m allergic to peanuts, I have two tattoos.”

”That’s easy,” Liam mumbled.

”You’re a virgin.”

A wicked grin spread from Ying Sheng’s lips. Her eyes sparkled as she tried not to laugh.

”Wrong.”

”What?!” Liam squeaked as his right eyebrow shot up.

”You’re lying, right?”

Ying Sheng shook her head, and her eyes gleamed.

”No… I’m a virgin.”

She said, refilling the shot glass again.

”I guess you will be the one drunk before the night ends.”

Liam was sitting in a daze. Awe transformed on his face as images of her teasing him of being a virgin bombarded his mind.

”You….are -really a virgin?!” He yelled, his forehead puckered.

Ying Sheng placed her finger on his lip and gave him a lopsided grin.

”Shsss …it’s a secret. I have an image to uphold.” She simpered.

”But how…you talk like you have experienced the sheer euphoria of orgasm before.”

Liam didn’t know what gave him the courage- his shock or the alcohol.

Ying Sheng burst out into laughter, “Cutie, the fact that I’m a virgin doesn’t mean I have zero knowledge about sex like you.”

Liam flushed and looked away, “Oh.”

Ying Sheng nodded, “Yeah, I have watched porn, masturbated, and made out with a couple of guys. I have just not popped my cherry yet. Understand?”

Liam’s lips twisted into a radiant smile, and he nodded, “Why… haven’t you? I mean you—”

”None of those guys were worth it. As bad as I may seem, I believe sex is a special thing and it should be with someone you have strong feelings for.”

Ying Sheng said softly, cutting him off. Her eyes flickered with an intense emotion, but it was gone before he could decipher what he saw.

Liam’s features softened when he heard her.

”Cutie, this is our little secret. No one should know, okay?” Ying Sheng whispered.

Liam grinned and raised his pinky finger.

”Pinky promise?”

Ying Sheng giggled and also raised her pinky finger and locked it together with his.

”Pinky promise!” They said in unison as their gaze met.

Liam swallowed; the way her gaze was melting his insides made him giddy.

Ying Sheng laughed, breaking the silence. Liam couldn’t help but also laugh, clearly amused by what they were doing.

”Now, drink!”

Liam pouted, “It’s not fair! “

He complained bitterly as he gulped down the alcohol. He had just drunk two shots, but he was already starting to feel dizzy.

”Nothing in this world is fair, Cutie. Always remember that.”

Ying Sheng retorted.

”Now it’s your turn.”

”Ermm….I have been seduced by a mature woman before, I have been to jail, and I can speak four languages.”

Ying Sheng bit her lips, “Well, I know the last one is true, so is between the first and second one.”

A glint passed through Liam’s eyes, but he said nothing.

”You have been seduced by a mature woman?”

The corners of lips tugged into a sly smile, and he shook his head.

”Nope! I’m trilingual.”

Ying Sheng widened her eyes.

”So, you have been seduced by a mature woman and have gone to jail before?”

A hint of pink flushed his cheeks. Ying Sheng raised her brows when she saw his reaction.

”Holy sh*t!” Ying Sheng exclaimed.

Liam reddened more at her words.

”Well, my English teacher tried to seduce me once, when she asked me to bring some papers at her office.”

”Seriously!” Ying Sheng gasped, she was really shocked.

”How old were you?”

”Sixteen,” Liam mumbled as he played with his fingers.

”What the hell?” Ying Sheng spat, as her forehead creased.

”I did not see her again after that, so it’s good.”

Liam explained.

Ying Sheng nodded, “What about going to jail?”

Liam scoffed, remembering that day. “My brother and I saw a guy harassing a girl, and we beat him up. Unfortunately, his father was a police commander, so we got arrested.”

Ying Sheng narrowed her eyes, “My Cutie is a knight in shining armor saving a maiden in distress.”

She teased. Liam glared at her, but she saw the smile that had spread on his lips.

”Ha, ha. Funny. Now drink.”

Liam said as he refilled her glass for her.

Ying Sheng picked it up and raised it towards him.

”Cheers!” Then she gulped the drink in one shot.

A few minutes later, or maybe hours? Liam did not know. All he felt was his head spinning. He was completely wasted.

He gulped down one last shot before the game ended.

”Cutie, you lost!”

Ying Sheng exclaimed with a smirk on her face.

”You planned this all along to get me drunk, right?!” Liam commented, pouting.

His face was flushed, and he looked so cute. Ying Sheng chuckled.

”Correct.”

”Meanie,” Liam mumbled.

He furrowed his brows. “Why aren’t you drunk?”

Ying Sheng leaned closer to him, “I never get drunk.”

She said while taking a sip of the last beer left.

Liam shook his head. He can guarantee she drank a lot too more than he did.

Looking at the confused frown on his face, Ying Sheng sighed.

”I only get drunk when I’m sad, lonely, or want to forget any bad feelings.” She explained.
