A Billion Dollar Exchange

50 You are Late

Jin Yue noticed his reaction and smiled knowing that his trick was working.

"What of Eva? " Liu Wei finally asked after sometime.

"Ahh, she's gone, we're officially over. Don't give me that stare, I'm serious about this present one, we're quite good together, trust me." Jin Yue replied smirking half way when he noticed Liu Wei's disapproving gaze.

Liu Wei just shook his head and stood up, he began walking towards the stairs.

"Yah!, were are you going?, don't tell me I wasted my strength in vain, Liu Wei you are such... "

"Twelve noon" Liu Wei cut him off before opening his room door banging it after him.

Though it was quite late, Jin Yue didn't protest. He just strolled over to the lounge and made himself comfortable.

....

By the time Liu Wei finally came out of his room it was past one. Jin Yue sulked all the way to Gahll but Liu Wei didn't even utter a word or acknowledge him.

This made him to shut up after a while. Jin Yue had already bought a present for Xin Yong, a limited edition golden bracelet. He had worried a lot over what she liked, so in between their chats, he would casually ask her things she liked, colors, flowers and many other things she preferred.

That was how he knew she loved golden colors. As he drove into the school, a smile was plastered on his lips. It was over two weeks he last saw her, though he didn't want to accept it, he knew for a fact that he missed her.

They followed the directions on the way and arrived at the hall, by then it was past two and the ceremony was almost over. Jin Yue switched off the ignition and without waiting for Liu Wei he hurried over to the large hall.

.....

Xin Yong couldn't find him after a long search, she was a bit sad, or rather that was what she told herself, deep down she was deeply heartbroken.

'He said he would come, so why isn't he here?, the ceremony is almost over!'

Her face was red all over, she sighed sadly and began walking out of the hall, head bent low.

She wasn't looking where she was going and hit a hard body, quite tall to be exact.

"Sorry,.. " She lifted her eyes to apologize to the person, only to see a smiling handsome face.

All her anger clearly washed away. She wanted to hug him right there and bite his ear scolding him for his lateness but she restrained herself.

She stared at him for a while and bit her lower lip to prevent herself from smiling. 'That was too cheap. She was angry at him right now, she wouldn't forgive him that easily!'

Jin Yue who just realized that the hall was almost empty was quite taken aback. He quickly followed her and tried holding her arm which she wriggled off naughtily.

Jin Yue smiled at her naughtiness, and added more strength on her arm, he easily turned her around with one swift motion and hugged her tightly. Xin Yong who hadn't expected the turn of events was dumb stricken. Her eyes widened and a deep blush crept on her cheeks as she inhaled his manly scent.

"Sweet, Congratulations on your graduation, this boyfriend is sorry for not being there for you, okay? just tell me anything, anything you want, I'll do it. Just name it." Jin Yue's voice became softer and sweeter like a husband teasing his pregnant wife.

Xin Yong who had just wanted to feign annoyance didn't expect that he would take it seriously. Her face flushed red and she immediately realised she was still in his arms and people were giving them strange stares.

She struggled to free herself from his grasp but Jin Yue hugged her tighter.

"Mmm, Sweet, you don't want to forgive me?, we'll stay here like this till you forgive me then. You smell so nice, so it wouldn't be a bad idea... "

"I forgive you, I forgive you" Xin Yong exclaimed and Jin Yue finally released her laughing a little when he noticed her tomato red face.

Xin Yong glared at him and started walking out of the hall, fuming from sheer embarrassment.

"Sweet, don't be sad okay, it's just that I missed you so much, I couldn't help but hug you, are you mad at me?, mm"

Jin Yue followed behind her, casually teasing her.

Xin Yong felt butterflies in her tummy when she heard him say he missed her. She wanted to hit her head on the wall and ask her stupid brain what was wrong with it. Why was she affected so much by his mere words?.

She walked to her dorm, all the while Jin Yue walked behind her. When they reached her hostel she finally spoke for the first time.

"You can come up, my roommates are all gone"

It was after the words left her mouth she understood the implication of what she just said.
