A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling sat in front of the huge piano with her face beaming with smiles. She never thought she would one day play the piano, ever!

Just at that moment, Liu Wei walked in with two cans of soda. He walked over to a large comfy cushion, in front of the piano and sat down quietly.

"Should I begin? "

Liling asked with pretty eyes. She really loved playing the piano. Liu Wei smiled and nodded, then Liling immediately lowered her eyes to the piano.

She started with playing the keys first, when she got the perfect key which suited her voice, she then started to sing,

I'm standing on a bridge

I'm waitin' in the dark

I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I, I'm with you

I'm looking for a place

I'm searching for a face

Is anybody here I know

Cause nothings going right

And everything's a mess

And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are

But I, I'm with you

Oh why…

Liu Wei who was drinking his soda suddenly stopped and stared transfixed at the beautiful girl playing the piano with all of her soul.

At that moment, she looked like a different person altogether. She was so immersed in the song, that she forgot about Liu Wei in front of her. Liu Wei had heard the song before, but hearing it from her, it sounded so very different.

Even when she stopped, Liu Wei kept staring at her, mesmerized. He had heard her sing before, but right now, he felt this was the first time.

Liling smiled, stood up and waved at him.

"ah! Liu Wei, did I sing well? "

Liling chuckled seeing that Liu Wei wasn't saying a word. Almost at that moment, the door to the piano room flung open..

"Oh my God!!, Liling you were so!... oh my God, Young Master Liu Wei. .haha...I'll be going now... "

Kim who had just returned from her home, heard the amazing voice coming from the piano room, and she stood waiting for her to finish the song before barging into the room, only to find Liu Wei sitting there too, she quickly fled instantly. She really was not expecting him to be there.

Her entrance had woken up the transfixed Liu Wei. He blinked his eyes severally and turned to look at the closed door then back at Liling who was still standing waiting for him to comment.

"You're amazing, you know? "

Liling was dumbfounded. She was not expecting that reply, her gentle smile suddenly froze.

She blinked severally as she stared at Liu Wei.

"Do you want to go to the movies? "

"What? "

Liling couldn't understand the man infront of her. Just a second ago, he was asking if she knew she was amazing and now he was asking if she wanted to go to the movies!

"This night, we could go to the movies"

Liu Wei said again, he slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards her. Liling watched him come closer and immediately nodded.

She coughed and replied slowly.

"Okay... "

Liu Wei was really close this time, he held her cheeks with his two hands and said,

"You're amazing Liling... "

" "

Liling was dumbfounded. Her chin started heating up from his touch, she was feeling a bit nervous.

"Okay..."

She replied nervously, blinking her eyes, she looked away from his mesmerizing gaze.

Liu Wei laughed and pinched her lightly on the cheeks.

"You... you should say thank you, not okay... "

Liling chuckled and rubbed her cheeks which he had just pinched.

"Thank you..."

Liu Wei stared at her for a while longer then turned around and walked away, leaving the puzzled Liling standing on the spot.

"You come out for lunch... "

He said as he walked away but Liling couldn't bring herself to voice out her reply, she could only nod quietly.

Kim was standing outside, pressing her ears on the door, wanting to know what was going on inside, so that when Liu Wei pulled open the door, she nearly fell.

"I'm sorry... "

she quickly made way for him to walk past. Liu Wei didn't say a word, just walked past her, with that aloof expressionless face, which he always kept for other people.

"Liling! you didn't tell me you could sing so well and what is going on between you and our young master? Tell me something!! "

Kim ran over to Liling's side, she immediately shook Liling a little violently.

"Stop sprouting nonsense!"

Liling replied, blushing lightly.

"Liling!! "
