Love So Sweet

155 Such a Small World

Zhang Li Xue returned home and found her brother, Zhang Yi Hai on the basketball court in the backyard.

She tossed her purse aside and stood there to watch her brother practicing alone.

Finding a perfect opportunity, Zhang Li Xue ran over and grabbed the basketball, and threw it into the hoop. She turned around and found her brother looking back at her while panting to catch up his breath.

Zhang Yi Hai looked at the time before looking at his sister again. “Sister, you didn’t go to work today. Where did you go?”

“Would you believe me if I tell you that I visited the kindergarten?”

Zhang Yi Hai raised a brow. “Right.”

A crisp sound of laughter filled the air. Zhang Li Xue decided not to explain it. She picked up the basketball and threw it over to her brother.

Recently, Zhang Yi Hai began to notice that his sister has been going out a lot. He was suspecting that his sister was going out with Mu Zhen Yu. Other than that person, who else would his sister go out secretly with?

It seemed that after Mu Zhen Yu had returned from G Country, he had become more slick to trick his sister out.

.....

Summer vacation was ending soon and he was going to return to his university soon. Zhang Yi Hai was worried that while he was away, Mu Zhen Yu would continue to trick his sister.

Zhang Yi Hai was never a fan of Mu Zhen Yu.

In his opinion, Mu Zhen Yu was a nice person. But because he was too nice to everyone, Zhang Yi Hai thought that he was not suitable for his sister.

While growing up together, Zhang Yi Hai had been keeping his eyes on Mu Zhen Yu.

This person was someone who could not say no to others. If someone approached, Mu Zhen Yu would do his best to help.

However, Zhang Yi Hai thought that if this kind of person was in a relationship with his sister, sooner or later, this attitude was going to hurt her.

After all, he had watched how a few girls approached Mu Zhen Yu, pretending to ask for his help. That nice guy had never rejected to help them. People would take advantage of him because he was unable to say no.

Zhang Yi Hai dribbled the basketball a few times before throwing it back to his sister. “Sister, I’m going back to the university this weekend. Why don’t we go out together?”

“Where do you want to go?”

“It has been a while since we go out with the triplets. Let’s go and invited them for a match or something.”

Her eyes lit up. Since her brother decided to play basketball, naturally, Zhang Li Xue would not reject this proposal.

After some discussion, they decided to head over to their younger aunt’s house to play.

The moment they arrived, Zhang Yi Hai went to look for the triplets while Zhang Li Xue went to look for her aunt who was in the kitchen.

She saw her aunt cutting some watermelon and walked over. “Aunt, I missed you.”

Zhang Yu Ying laughed when she saw her niece. She picked up a piece of watermelon and feed it to the girl. “How is it? Delicious?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “It’s sweet.”

“Your uncle brought it over from his trip to A City.” Zhang Yu Ying continued to cut more fruits. “Just help yourself if you want to eat more.”

Zhang Li Xue washed her hands at the sink and come back to eat another piece of watermelon. When she looked up, her aunt was looking at her again.

“That’s right, I’ve been wanting to ask you about that first teammate. Have you found him?” Zhang Yu Ying asked.

Last time, her niece visited her at home just to ask some things regarding her childhood. The two of them talked about her first teammate in kindergarten.

After her niece had left, Zhang Yu Ying could not help but wonder about that boy. After their family moved to S Country, Zhang Yu Ying had never heard any news about them.

“Mmm... the person that Su Jin recognized is the Bai Qi from my kindergarten,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I went to find him afterward and confirmed it myself.”

Zhang Yu Ying’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news. “That’s good. I still remember their family very well.” A light sigh escaped her. “But, I didn’t hear any news about their family return to Y City. Could it be that the boy returned alone?”

Her movement halted. Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips, wondering how she should tell the story about the Bai family to her aunt.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yu Ying began to worry when her niece did not say a word.

“Bai Qi only returned to Y City with his little sister,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Aunt, his life is too pitiful. Everyone else in his family had passed away.”

“Ah?” Zhang Yu Ying could not hide her surprise.

“It seemed that something happened to their family while they were in S Country,” Zhang Li Xue said. Then, she began to brief her aunt about what had happened to the Bai family.

When her niece finished, Zhang Yu Ying could not hide her sadness as well. She still remembered meeting Old Madam Bai before the family departed to S Country. The old lady was too nice and gentle. It was hard to believe that she had passed away.

Moreover, the Bai family seemed to be old friends with her grandfather. It seemed that after her grandfather passed away, they did not pay much attention to his friends.

What was even more surprising was that something had happened to the Bai family’s business. They went down fast and were unable to recover.

Zhang Yu Ying could not help but thought that if the elders were still alive, her grandfather would surely offer them some help during their difficult time.

“What did Bai Qi do now?”

“He’s a doctor,” Zhang Li Xue said. “That’s right. Aunt, you’re not going to believe this, but Bai Qi is also Uncle Qi Zheng’s student.”

“It’s such a small world.” Zhang Yu Ying was relieved to hear that the little boy had grown up well and was able to survive after something so big had happened to his family. “It has been a while since the last time I saw him. Li Xue, when he has time, you have to remember to bring him over and let me see him, alright?”
