Love So Sweet

127 Who Wins?

Zhang Li Xue did not dare to move.

She could still feel Bai Qi’s nose and lips pressing against her cheek. They were... moist and soft.

It felt as if something was exploding inside her head, messing up with the circuit inside her brain. Her eyes shifted. Then, their gaze met briefly before Bai Qi took a step back.

“I’m sorry.” Bai Qi inhaled a sharp breath.

The ball bounced away before it rolled into a corner of the court. None of them cared about basketball anymore.

Bai Qi looked at his little fairy cautiously. Although everything was an accident, he was worried that Zhang Li Xue would think that he was taking advantage of her.

His eyes could not stop staring at the cheek that he had briefly touched with his lips a few seconds ago. His lips felt as if they were burning.

The air between them turned awkward.

After meeting his gaze once, Zhang Li Xue did not dare to look at Bai Qi again.

.....

Her cheek felt hot as Zhang Li Xue could still feel his lips against her cheek.

She never had an experience like this before.

Zhang Li Xue has been practicing basketball from a young age. However, this was the first time that an accident like this had happened.

A kiss!

Other than her family members, she had never been kissed on the cheek before!

“Pretty Sister! Brother Bai Qi!”

Bai Xi Xi’s voice snapped them out of their trance. They turned their head at the same time and saw that the little girl was running in their direction with a puzzled look on her face.

“What happened?” Bai Xi Xi asked. “Did the match end? Who wins?”

Bai Xi Xi shifted her gaze at the two adults alternately. She thought that the two of them were looking a little strange. However, Bai Xi Xi could not figure out what was strange about them.

A while ago, she was still standing at the side, watching as her brother tried to snatch the basketball. However, the two of them suddenly stopped moving and began to act strangely.

Bai Xi Xi turned to her brother and spoke, “Brother, what happened?” She stared at her brother for a few seconds longer and frowned. “Brother Bai Qi, your face is a little red.”

Bai Qi coughed. He peeked at Zhang Li Xue before turning to his sister again. “I was running around. Of course, my face would turn red.”

The little girl seemed to believe her brother’s words. However, she had watched her brother practicing basketball a few times. This was the first time that her brother’s face had turned this red.

“But, you only played one round,” Bai Xi Xi said.

The corner of his lips twitched. Bai Qi thought that his little sister was a little too sharp today.

Bai Xi Xi shifted her gaze and looked at Zhang Li Xue. Her eyes lit up as she seemed to have realized something.

“Then, Brother Bai Qi, does it mean that Pretty Sister is really good?”

Bai Qi stole another glance at Zhang Li Xue. He stretched his hand and patted his sister on the head. “Yes. Pretty Sister is really good.”

The little girl stared at her pretty sister in awe. She made her decision to learn how to play basketball from Zhang Li Xue. As the thought came to her mind, Bai Xi Xi ran off, wanting to pick up the basketball which had rolled farther away.

Now that the little girl had gone, Zhang Li Xue could not help but feel awkward again.

“I’m sorry,” Bai Qi broke the silence between them. “It was an accident.”

The girl had not spoken a word and Bai Qi was worried that Zhang Li Xue might be furious.

“No. It was also my fault,” Zhang Li Xue said. If she didn’t turn around, this accident would not happen. “It was just like you said. An accident.”

Bai Qi heaved a sigh when he saw that she was not angry. After a while, he turned around and jogged over to the side where they had placed their bag. Bai Qi grabbed the drinking bottle and passed one to Zhang Li Xue. “Here, have a drink.”

“Thank you.” Zhang Li Xue unscrewed the cap and took a few mouthfuls of drinks. She was indeed thirsty after playing a round.

Zhang Li Xue peeked at Bai Qi and saw that he was drinking some water as well. Her gaze fell on his lips before she looked quickly look away.

She pinched her thigh and reminded herself not to let her mind wander.

It was an accident and she should stop thinking about it.

Bai Xi Xi returned to their side with the basketball in her hand. She looked at the adults and spoke, “Pretty Sister, Brother Bai Qi, are you two going to continue playing for another round?”

The two adults exchanged a glance.

“No. We’ll stop for today,” Bai Qi said. He knew that if they continued the match, both of them would not be able to concentrate.

As for him, he would keep on thinking of that little accident and would not be able to be serious in the game. It was better to stop now.

Zhang Li Xue leaned over to the little girl and smiled. “Xi Xi, didn’t you say that you wanted me to teach you? How about I teach you now?”

The little girl’s eyes lit up. She turned to her brother as if asking for his opinion. Seeing her brother nod made her smile.

“Pretty Sister, I saw you shot the ball earlier. Can you teach me to do that as well?”

Zhang Li Xue giggled. “Of course, I can.”

Bai Xi Xi raised her head to look at the tall hoop. “But the hoop is too tall. Can I shoot the ball like you and Brother Bai Qi?”

“I think, as long as you can aim well and control the ball, you can definitely shoot the ball into the hoop.” Zhang Li Xue held Bai Xi Xi’s hand and the two of them walked to the center of the court.

Bai Qi watched as Zhang Li Xue was teaching his sister to shoot from a distance. He raised his hand and placed it on top of his heart.

It seemed that his heart was unable to calm down.
