A Billion Dollar Exchange

87 Her dream

Liling had been reading the first page for the past thirty minutes. Either that the letters were too tiny making it difficult to comprehend or that her eyes were now hazy with sleep.

Liu Wei took peeks at her once in a while, but since she held the document up high, he couldn't see her face. He figured maybe she was really reading the document, so he continued with his work.

After about half an hour, he became tired. Turning to Liling to ask her if she was through with the document, he saw her snuggled up in the sofa, the document abandoned in the floor.

He watched her for a moment and bent to pick up the document and placed it on the table.

Seeing that she was sleeping, Liu Wei turned to face her completely. Her breath was even and her face looked extremely peaceful. She slept calmly like a baby.

He raised his hand to adjust her hair that had covered part of her face, so he could see her face perfectly.

He didn't know how long he stayed like that watching her sleep, it was not until she sneezed that he realized himself. He felt that the air conditioner was quite high and she may have caught a cold, so he quickly walked to the regulator and put it off completely.

It was late and he needed to rest, so he walked back to her and raised his hand to wake her up but in the end he lifted her up.

She wasn't heavy, Infact she was very light and soft.

As soon as Liu Wei lifted her up, Liling adjusted herself in his arms, snuggling her head in his chests.

Liu Wei froze up abruptly.

Has she woken up? He immediately looked down at her, and when he noticed her closed eyes and her even breath, he knew she was still sleeping.

He walked out of the study with her in his arms. Taking soft steps, he left his bedroom and walked towards hers.

He quietly opened her door and stepped in, closing it behind him.

Walking to her bed, he gently placed her on it, making sure not to wake her up. As he successfully kept her on the bed and was about to stand up, Liling clutched his shirt tightly.

" "

Liu Wei froze. He shifted his gaze to her face and realized that she was still sleeping. His brows creased for a moment and he tried to release himself from her grasp but Liling moved to hold him by his arm, this time tighter than before.

What was wrong with her? Why was she acting so strange this night?

Liu Wei's heart beat started racing when Liling who was holding his arm move to hug him by the waist.

His throat tightened as his face flushed deep red.

He instinctively tried to release himself when he heard her whisper sadly.

"Mom...why do you want to leave? "

"Won't you stay just this once?... I've missed you... so much.. so badly!"

Liling sniffed as she held him tighter.

Liu Wei felt his body paralyze when he felt a wetness on his shirt.

He immediately shifted her hair from her face only to find her weeping. Her brows were creased in pain, it was obvious that she was dreaming about something or someone.

His resolve weakened when he saw her teary face. He couldn't bring himself to leave after seeing her like that.

After much contemplation, he adjusted himself on the bed all the while Liling had her hands around him, not letting go for a second.

Liling drew closer to him and Liu Wei who had been finding it hard breathing could do nothing but gently pat her back.

He couldn't bring himself to sleep, first and foremost, he didn't even feel sleepy, nobody could sleep under that type of torture and secondly, he didn't want Liling waking up and seeing him beside her on her bed, that would be extremely awkward, and he hadn't even figured out the best explanation to give her.

So he remained there, counting the seconds. After a while, her breath became even again, though she hadn't loosened her grasp.

Liu Wei looked down at her, even though they were like this because of her dream, he couldn't help but smile.
