Love So Sweet

150 Bai Qi, Li Xue

After dinner ended, Bai Qi naturally could not allow his little fairy to do the dishes.

He let Zhang Li Xue accompany his sister in the living room while he washed everything properly. As he returned to the living room, Bai Qi glanced at the clock and sighed.

Although he was unwilling, Bai Qi knew best that it was time for Zhang Li Xue to return home. His heart bore the thought of wanting to let her stay beside him forever, but as he thought of his current situation, he still thought there was a long way for him to go before he could love her properly.

His brow furrowed as he recalled the phone call that Zhang Li Xue received while they were at the market earlier.

It was not the first time that he saw Mu Zhen Yu’s name on her phone.

Thinking that the man was still in contact with her made him uncomfortable.

When they were kids, Mu Zhen Yu was always protective of Zhang Li Xue. Mu Zhen Yu treated everyone well, but he would treat Zhang Li Xue better.

As a man, Bai Qi could guess that Mu Zhen Yu probably liked the little fairy as much as he did in the past.

Now that he knew that the two were still in contact, Bai Qi could not help but wonder if Mu Zhen Yu still had feelings for Zhang Li Xue.

.....

It seemed that while he went away for the past twenty years, the two of them would have a lot of chances to develop their relationship.

Bai Qi wanted to ask Zhang Li Xue about her relationship with Mu Zhen Yu. But he worry that the answer would make him disappointed.

“Doctor Bai?”

Bai Qi snapped out of his trance when he heard her call. He knew what she was going to say to him next. “Is it time for you to go?”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “Mmm... I should go home earlier before my parents would get worried.” She glanced at Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “Walk me to my car?”

Bai Qi would naturally agree. This was something that he would suggest doing without Zhang Li Xue mentioning it.

After telling Bai Xi Xi that he was going to walk Zhang Li Xue out, Bai Qi walked out and the two of them walked in silence until they reached her car.

Zhang Li Xue was walking at the front while Bai Qi followed.

The look on his face grew softer as he stole a few glances at Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi realized how his heart would beat a little faster each time that he was with her. He stretched his hand, wanting to touch her again, but his finger merely grazed a few strands of her hair before he retracted his hand away.

He wondered if it was normal for him to want to get close to her even though the girl was just in front of him.

As they reached her car, Bai Qi quickly hid away the look on his face.

He couldn’t let his little fairy figure out his secret yet.

When Zhang Li Xue turned around, Bai Qi quickly spoke, “Miss Zhang, thank you for looking after Xi Xi and spending your time with her today.”

Instead of answering, Zhang Li Xue stared at Bai Qi’s face for a long time, making him feel shy with the way she was looking at him.

He stretched his hand to touch his face. Then, his head cocked to one side as he gave her an inquiring look. “Is there something on my face?”

“You called me Miss Zhang again.”

The crease at the space between his brow deepened. Bai Qi could not understand what she was going to tell him.

“At the hospital today, you called me Li Xue,” she explained.

Bai Qi tried to recall this scene and realized that he may have subconsciously called her name when he saw her at the hospital today. A shade of red appeared on his face. Bai Qi began to worry if Zhang Li Xue would not like it that he had called her such a way.

“I have thought about it,” Zhang Li Xue said. “We have known each other for quite a while. We shouldn’t address each other politely like this. In the future, can I just call you Bai Qi instead? Then, you can also continue to call me Li Xue.”

A strange feeling surged from his heart. Bai Qi lowered his head and hummed. “Alright.”

“That’s good.” Her lips curled into a smile. “Bai Qi.”

Bai Qi thought that he might have gone stupid. His heart would beat fast just by hearing her speak his name.

When they were little, Zhang Li Xue would call him Brother Bai Qi. He thought that if he could hear her call him like that one more time, he would be the happiest.

“Are you very busy at the hospital recently?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

“It’s alright,” Bai Qi said. “It has been a few months since I transferred to Y City Hospital. Of course, there are a lot of things that I have to learn. It will take a while before I get used to it. Why do you ask?”

Zhang Li Xue was reminded of her conversation with Bai Xi Xi earlier.

The little girl was worried that her brother might not be able to attend her parents and teacher’s meeting and had asked if she could go in his stead.

Initially, Zhang Li Xue planned to talk to Bai Qi about this. But knowing that he was busy at the hospital because of his position, Zhang Li Xue decided not to mention a thing.

She knew well that Bai Qi loved his little sister dearly.

If it were possible, he would not want to disappoint the little girl, would he?

Zhang Li Xue admired Bai Qi’s hardworking attitude, but at the same time, she could not help but thought that being a doctor was very difficult.

“It’s nothing.” Zhang Li Xue shook her head. “Just that, you look very tired.” She flashed him another smile. “I know that work is important, but you have to remember that resting is important as well.”

His heart felt warmer at her concern. “Mmm... I know.”
