Love So Sweet

190 Lasted for an Hour

By the time Bai Qi finally had time to look at his phone, Zhang Li Xue was already in bed and was in a drowsy state.

She heard her phone chime at the side and subconsciously reached for it.

Her eyes narrowed as she tried to get used to the light coming from it. Zhang Li Xue read Bai Qi’s message and decided that she was too lazy to type a reply. A few seconds later, Bai Qi picked up her phone call to him.

“Li Xue?” He had thought that this girl should be sleeping at this time. Unexpectedly, she was still awake to give him a call.

“Mmm...” There was a hint of sleepiness in her voice. “Bai Qi, are you on a break now?”

Bai Qi was a little stunned when he heard her voice. “Un... Were you sleeping?”

“No.”

Bai Qi heaved a breath of relief, knowing that he was not disturbing her. However, her next words made the corner of his lips start to twitch.

“Just about to.”

.....

Bai Qi glanced at the clock.

It was already this late. Why was his little fairy just about to sleep? What was she doing earlier?

Of course, Bai Qi would not guess that his little fairy was waiting for his phone call. If he knew, he would feel very bad about it.

After all, the two of them only talked about his busy schedule earlier. Dating a doctor would make the other suffer.

Perhaps, that was the reason why doctors preferred to date someone with a similar profession.

“Then, you should go and sleep,” Bai Qi said. “It’s already late. Let’s talk tomorrow, alright?”

“No. Wait.” Zhang Li Xue forced herself to open her eyes. She had a lot of things that she wanted to say to Bai Qi. However, she was too sleepy and her brain was refusing to work. Fortunately, she could still remember that the person she was talking to was her boyfriend. “Bai Qi, I still have something to ask you.”

“What is it?” Hearing her insistence, Bai Qi began to worry that his little fairy had something important to talk about.

“Can I look for you again tomorrow?” Zhang Li Xue inhaled deeply. “I’ll accompany you for dinner tomorrow, alright? I wanted to see you again.”

His lips pursed into a thin line.

Bai Qi might be expressionless at this moment, but his mind was a bit chaotic after hearing the girl’s words. It took him a while before he could answer. “Alright.” His voice softened. “Let’s have dinner together.”

“Un...” Zhang Li Xue smiled happily. “Bai Qi, I just realized that you have such a nice voice.”

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

This girl was sleepy but she was still trying to flirt with him.

Bai Qi let out a chuckle and spoke, “You should go to sleep. Let’s talk about it again in the morning, alright.”

Zhang Li Xue wanted to continue talking to Bai Qi. But when she heard his coaxing tone, Zhang Li Xue finally changed her mind. “Alright. Bai Qi...”

“Hmm?”

“Good night.”

His lips turned into a smile. “Good night.”

Bai Qi continued to press his phone to his ear as he waited for Zhang Li Xue to hang up the phone first. However, as time passed, Bai Qi realized that something was not right.

The call was still connected and he could hear Zhang Li Xue’s soft breathing as she slept.

It was not hard to guess that the girl had been so sleepy when he texted her earlier. However, she was still waiting for his text and had tried to hold on.

Bai Qi chuckled as he felt something warm fill his heart.

Zhang Li Xue’s soft breathing continued. The sound was like music to his ear. They were calm and relaxing.

Bai Qi wondered if he would be a pervert if he continued to listen to it for a long time.

...

When Zhang Li Xue woke up in the morning, she had a feeling as if she had spoken to Bai Qi. However, she was still debating whether that happened in real life or her dream.

She reached for her phone but could not find it at the usual place on the bedside table. After searching for it for a while, she finally found her phone beside her pillow.

Zhang Li Xue checked the call log and found out that she had indeed called Bai Qi. However, there was something strange about this phone call. Why did the call last for an hour?

Did they chat for a long time?

Why can’t she remember anything?

She could only recall that she had asked him if it would be alright if she wanted to visit his workplace again tomorrow.

Zhang Li Xue clicked on their chatting channel next. After thinking for a while, she finally decided to send him a message.

“Bai Qi, good morning.”

This time, Zhang Li Xue did not have to wait for a long time before she could get his reply.

Just as she was about to put down her phone, Bai Qi’s reply came over.

“Good morning. Did you get a good goodnight sleep?”

Zhang Li Xue smiled foolishly when she saw his messages.

It turned out that exchanging a morning greeting like this could make her this happy. Having a boyfriend is definitely a good thing.

Zhang Li Xue was already planning to make this morning’s exchange a routine.

“Un. I slept well. Are you still at work?”

“I went back to the apartment to change my clothes and send Xi Xi to her kindergarten. Then, I will head back to the hospital again.”

Zhang Li Xue thought that life as a doctor was definitely tiring.

Bai Qi had to be on duty the night and still had to show up at work in the morning.

However, this job was something that he wanted to do.

Zhang Li Xue could still remember that Bai Qi had once told her that he wanted to be a doctor after his grandmother passed away. He wanted to save people.

“Doctor Bai, work hard! I’ll be rooting for you.” Zhang Li Xue was about to put down her phone when she recalled something. Then, she started to type her message to Bai Qi again. “That’s right. I saw the call log earlier. My call with you last night lasted for an hour. What did we talk about?”

Bai Qi, who was on the other side of the line, found that his face was a little heated up.

“Nothing. I did not notice that we didn’t end the call properly. I only realized it an hour later,” Bai Qi lied.

There was no way that he was going to admit that he was listening to her breathing as she slept. It was only when a nurse came to him to report something about a patient that he finally ended the call.

Fortunately, Zhang Li Xue completely believed in Bai Qi’s nonsense and did not think too much about this matter.
