Love So Sweet

149 Better Than Mine

When Zhang Li Xue returned to find Bai Qi again, that man and his little sister were already done with the payment. She glanced at the grocery bag in Bai Qi’s hand and tried to take some of the bag from him, “It’s too heavy. Let me help you carry some of it.”

“It’s fine. Your car isn’t that far anyway.”

Seeing that the man had rejected her offer, there was nothing else for her to do.

The three of them returned to the Bai’s apartment and entered.

Bai Qi peeked into the grocery bag and was about to bring them to the kitchen counter when he noticed that the little fairy was following him close.

“Doctor Bai, why don’t you go and rest? I will help you to prepare your dinner.”

His eyes widened in surprise. When he saw Zhang Li Xue trying to reach for the grocery bag, he quickly pulled them over to stop her. “Of course, not. You’re a guest.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at him and narrowed her eyes. “You don’t think that I can cook?” There was a hint of playfulness in her expression. “Let me tell you this... I’m actually a decent cook. My mom likes to cook and she taught me a few things.”

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up. “Sister, you know how to cook?”

.....

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue turned to the little girl. “I can prepare some simple dishes.”

“Then, do you know how to make noodles?”

Zhang Li Xue giggled at her words. “Xi Xi, you really like eating noodles, huh?”

The little girl lowered her head shyly. “They’re very delicious.”

“Of course, I know how to make them too.” Zhang Li Xue patted the girl on her head. Then, she turned to Bai Qi again. “Doctor Bai, go ahead. You have been working all day. Go ahead and take a shower. I promise, when you come out, there will be dinner waiting for you.”

Bai Qi opened his mouth, wanting to reject but his little fairy had already grabbed the grocery bag away from him.

“You don’t have to worry about me,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Xi Xi is around to help me.”

The little girl nodded her head enthusiastically. “Un. Brother Bai Qi, go ahead. I can help Pretty Sister to cook.”

Bai Qi watched as the girls exchanged a look.

In the past, Bai Xi Xi would often stick to him. But nowadays, he noticed that this girl liked to play with her Pretty Sister a little more. He was not sure what he should feel about this.

With the girl insistent, Bai Qi had no other choice but to return to his room and let Zhang Li Xue prepare the meal.

Bai QI stood in his room with a disbelief look on his face. He still finds it hard to believe that the two girls had chased him out of the kitchen.

After a while, his lips finally curled into a smile.

Although he was still unwilling to let the girls prepare his dinner, he could not deny that he was looking forward to the meals that his little fairy had prepared.

Bai Qi walked into the bathroom and came out again after a quick shower. He deliberately put on his clothes slowly just so he could give Zhang Li Xue a little more time to prepare.

When he came out of the bathroom again, the girls were still preparing the meals in the kitchen. Seeing that they were having fun together, Bai Qi leaned half of his body on the wall while looking at the scenery.

It was beautiful and he wished that he could see this scene more often.

His house might be small, but at this time, he was very happy.

Bai Qi did not dare to make a sound and break this harmonious scene. Still, his little sister had noticed that he was standing behind them.

“Brother Bai Qi!” The little girl’s eyes lit up when he looked at her brother. “Pretty Sister made some chicken wings. Can you smell that? It smells delicious, isn’t it?”

Zhang Li Xue turned around with a sheepish smile on her face. She wondered just how long Bai Qi have been standing there to watch them. His movement was too quiet.

“Mmm... It smells delicious.” Bai Qi patted his little sister on her shoulder. Then, he looked up to meet Zhang Li Xue’s gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Li Xue quickly retracted her gaze and let out a cough. “The meal is almost ready. Doctor Bai, why don’t you go and sit down first. I’ll bring the food out.”

“Alright.” Bai Qi quickly agreed. He figured that it was better for him to leave than to disturb her cooking.

The food was quickly served with Bai Xi Xi’s help.

Due to Bai Xi Xi’s request, Zhang Li Xue prepared some noodles for their dinner. She saw that Bai Qi had brought some chicken wings and decided to let the sibling taste the chicken wings that she made.

Zhang Li Xue watched as Bai Qi take a bite from the chicken wings. Her heartbeat accelerated as she waited for his comment in anticipation.

Bai QI raised his head and saw this scene. The look on Zhang Li Xue’s face almost made him laugh.

“How is it?”

Bai Qi swallowed. “It’s good.” His lips turned up. “It’s better than mine.”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Un. It’s more delicious than my brother’s chicken wings. Pretty Sister, I like this one a lot.”

Hearing their words, Zhang Li Xue finally smiled brightly. “This is my great-grandfather’s recipe. When he was still alive, he taught me to prepare these dishes.” The smile on her face gradually faded as she thought of her late great-grandfather. “Of course, his barbecued chicken wings tasted the best. When we have time in the future, I will let you try them.”

His heart bloomed. Bai Qi was very looking forward to their future together. “Then, I will be looking forward to it.”
