The taxi driver wore a bittersweet smile when a kiss touched his cheek. A passenger who had no money gave the driver a peck on the cheek in exchange for a free ride on Valentine's Day in Fuzhou, China, wrote the Southeast Press Friday.

The driver surnamed Liu, agreed to waive the taxi fare when the passenger, a woman in her 20's, said she forgot to bring her purse with her. She gave him a kiss on the cheek in thanks as he waved good-bye to her.

Was Liu happy, confused or embarrassed about the Valentine kiss? Only he knows.
