Love So Sweet

Chapter 38: The Pure Little Fairy

Bai Qi’s cheek reddened slightly when he realized what he had been thinking. He looked at Zhang Li Xue and thought that the girl in front of him was too pure and cute.

When he saw her at the wedding, he had tugged at her hair and ruined the flower crown in her hair. Now that Zhang Li Xue was dressed like a little flower fairy again, Bai Qi realized that he has been a fool in the past.

Zhang Li Xue was too pure. Instead of bullying her, he should be protecting her instead. Didn’t his teacher teach the class that they shouldn’t be picking up flowers they see? Instead, they should let it grow and protect them.

“Brother Bai Qi?” Zhang Li Xue saw that Bai Qi has been staring at her for a long time without saying a word. She was worried that the boy was still unhappy that he only played as a tree.

Zhang Li Xue tugged at her skirt. She didn’t know how she should be coaxing Bai Qi so that he would not continue to be upset.

Bai Qi snapped out of his trance and smiled. “Un. You really do look like a flower fairy. Very beautiful.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed happily when she heard his praise.

.....

“Li Xue!”

The little girl turned around and saw that her aunt was heading over in her direction. It was at this time that she remember that she was supposed to head back to her parents after making a stop at the restroom.

Now that she hasn’t returned for a long time, her parents should be worried.

Zhang Li Xue was feeling a bit guilty. She walked over to her aunt and batted her eyes, trying her best to look adorable so that her aunt would not nag. “Younger Aunt.”

“You have been gone for a while. Your mother is worried about you,” Zhang Yu Ying leaned over to pinch her niece on the cheek.

“I’m sorry. There were quite a lot of people queuing at the restroom,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Then, I ran into Brother Bai Qi and stopped by to talk to him.”

Zhang Yu Ying’s eyes brightened when she heard the boy’s name.

Hold on. What did her niece call this boy again? Why did she feel as if there was an extra word added to his name? She was pretty sure that Li Xue had not called him ‘brother’ in the past.

She turned to the boy and saw him flinched. The corner of her lips tilted up into an amused smile. Zhang Yu Ying wondered if this boy was scared of her.

“You are Li Xue’s basketball teammate, Bai Qi?”

Bai Qi looked at the tall woman in front of him in surprise. He was sure that he had never seen this woman before. Then, how did she know his name? She even knew that he was the little fairy’s teammate.

Bai Qi nodded slowly. He glanced at Zhang Li Xue, wondering if this person was related to her.

“Hello.” Zhang Yu Ying stretched her hand for a handshake. “I am Li Xue’s aunt. You can call me Aunt Yu Ying.”

He pursed his lips before shaking his hand with the girl’s aunt. “Hello, I am Bai Qi.”

Zhang Yu Ying smiled happily. She has been standing at the side to watch the two kids’ interaction for a while. Although she could not hear what they were discussing, Zhang Yu Ying could see the smile on Li Xue’s face as she talked to this little boy.

She couldn’t help but thought that their interaction seemed cute from afar. Bai Qi had a mischievous look on his face. However, that did not hide his good look. Zhang Yu Ying could sense that he would grow up to be a handsome boy. She wondered who was his parents?

“I heard from Li Xue that you are quite good at basketball.”

Bai Qi looked at his friend in surprise. He never thought that Li Xue would talk to her aunt about him.

“Next time, you can come to Li Xue’s house and practice together,” Zhang Yu Ying said. “That’s right. Who are your parents?”

Bai Qi hesitated. “My father is Bai Wu Xin. My mother is Jiang Yu Qing.”

Zhang Yu Ying thought of the name but realized that she did not know Bai Qi’s parents. She turned to Bai Qi again and smiled. “Remember to tell your parents to come over to Li Xue’s house and play with her.”

The boy pursed his lips into a thin line without answering. He could still remember Zhang Li Xue’s strict mother and scary father.

He did not think that he was ready to meet them. Maybe once they found out that he has been practicing with Li Xue, they would make her stop playing with him. Moreover... he had a feeling that his mother would not allow him to go and play at the little fairy’s house

Bai Qi grew distressed as he thought about this matter.

Zhang Yu Ying turned to her niece again. “Li Xue, let’s go back before your parents would worry and come over to look for us.”

The little girl nodded. After her aunt had appeared by her side, Zhang Li Xue realized that she needed to return to her parents soon before they worry. If they continued to chat with Bai Qi, then, her mother might send her uncle next.

Zhang Li Xue held her aunt’s hand as she was about to leave. She looked at Bai Qi again and spoke, “Then, Brother Bai Qi, why don’t you come with me? I’ll introduce you to my parents.”

Zhang Yu Ying’s hand shook. She could already imagine her brother’s reaction once he saw his daughter returning with a boy by her side. She could not let Li Xue bring the boy to her father. Otherwise, Bai Qi might suffer.

Before she could say a word to her niece, Bai Qi had already rejected her invitation.

“Maybe next time,” Bai Qi said. “I’ve been away for a while as well. I need to return to my parents’ side as well. Otherwise, they would worry.”

Zhang Li Xue lowered her head to hide her disappointment.

The girl had forgotten her aunt’s reminder and wanted to introduce Bai Qi as her teammate to her parents.

Zhang Li Xue looked at Bai Qi with an expecting gaze. “Then, Brother Bai Qi, let’s meet again for practice next week, alright?”
