A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liu Wei couldn't explain how he felt.

Was he happy?

Of course he was! She kissed him! Liling had kissed him! Why wouldn't he be happy?

He ran a hand through his head smiling sheepishly as he stood in his balcony. The more he felt happy, the more apprehensive he became.

He needed to clarify things with her before she misunderstands his intentions. He would just have to tell her that he liked her...

She deserves to know, at least, they could start something from there.

Kissing him back means that she had feelings for him too, so he shouldn't worry much since he was sure she had feelings for him.

Liu Wei couldn't keep in his excitement.

He hadn't expected that he would take the initiative to kiss her and not in the least expected that she would kiss him back.

It was the most amazing feeling ever!

He felt like barging into her room and confessing his feelings to her that instant, but he stopped himself.

He would still see her during dinner or maybe after dinner, they'll have a good talk.

...

Liling had been trying to console herself with the saying 'everyone makes mistakes' and that it was in a moment of weakness and most importantly, she would never let it happen again!

She lay on her bed staring at the large wall clock in her room. Her head was clouded with so many thoughts that she didn't know when she drifted off to sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already past six. She lazily rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly.

"What!!... What's with all the makeup?, you look like a juju! "

Liling exclaimed as she threw a pillow at Kim who was standing before her with some fetish makeup.

"Wait, I didn't scare you? "

"Haha, you aren't scary the least, don't tell me you tried to scare me with your makeover? haha! Anyways, how is your family? "

"They are fine!... but seriously I thought I was scary, here I was thinking that you would scream for help once you saw my face. "

Kim went straight to the mirror and accessed herself. Liling burst out laughing.

"You are scary though, more like ugly! Haha"

Liling burst out laughing as Kim turned to glare at her.

"I'll clean up in your bathroom, that's your punishment for mocking me, humph! "

"Just don't leave any colours on my bathtub! "

Liling screamed after Kim who was already walking towards her bathroom.

...

The two individuals sat opposite each other on the large dining table eating one at a time.

The silence was appalling and since none of them volunteered to break it, it went on like that.

Liu Wei was thinking on how to bring up the incident that happened that afternoon, but given that the situation was really awkward, he didn't know how to.

After about another ten minutes of silence, Liu Wei decided to break the silence himself.

"This afternoon, I... "

"It was a mistake, I promise it won't happen again! "

Before Liu Wei had come to terms on how to construct his sentences properly, Liling had already cut him off.

The chopsticks he was holding were almost falling from his hands, he had to exert more force on it to prevent it from slipping.

'It was a mistake... I promise it won't happen again!...'

Liu Wei's mind replayed these words over and over again. If she liked him, why was she saying such? Why was she...

Before Liu Wei could complete his thoughts, she had thrown another bomb.

"I'm sorry for being irresponsible, it was in a moment of weakness, please do forgive me this time."

Liling's head remained bowed as she spoke. Her eyes remained transfixed on her plate of food as her mouth vomited those words.

Liu Wei felt a boiling anger in his heart.
