Love So Sweet

92 You are the First

Zhang Li Xue watched as the young doctor walked into the hospital building before turning to the little girl beside her. Their gazes met and the little girl was smiling shyly at her.

“Xi Xi, your brother had to go in and work for a while, you’ll stay here with me, alright?”

“Sister, I’ll listen to you since my brother is away.”

Zhang Li Xue watched as the little girl nodded and thought that she was very obedient.

Most of the young children around Bai Xi Xi’s age would not get close to a person they just met. However, Bai Xi Xi listened to her brother’s words and stayed with her.

Of course, the reason Bai Xi Xi could easily get along with anyone she just met was that she would often live with someone else whenever her brother was away.

After a while, she had gotten used to it.

“Then, Xi Xi, how come you’re at the hospital? Did you come over to find your brother?”

“No. Xiao Yan was injured. Then, Auntie Ji took her to the hospital. Because there was no one at home, Auntie Ji took me along as well.”

.....

“Auntie Ji?”

“It’s the auntie who come out a while ago,” Bai Xi Xi said. “Whenever my brother is at work, I usually stay with Auntie Ji’s family.”

Zhang Li Xue thought over her words and found out that there was something strange about it. However, she could not figure out what it was. “Then, what about your mother?”

Bai Xi Xi pursed her lips and stayed silent for a long time.

Seeing the little girl react, Zhang Li Xue wondered if perhaps she had done or said something wrong.

“My mother passed away,” Bai Xi Xi spoke in a low voice. “My brother said, she passed away after giving birth to me.”

Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened in surprise. She had never thought that the little girl’s mother would pass away when she was very young.

Zhang Li Xue wanted to scold herself for asking such an insensitive question.

“I’m sorry.” Other than these words, there was nothing else that she knew to say.

“It’s alright.” Bai Xi Xi forced a smile. “I don’t remember much about my parents, but I always have Brother Bai Qi by my side.”

From the little girl’s words, Zhang Li Xue could guess that the siblings’ parents were no longer around.

Then... Doctor Bai had to raise his little sister by himself?

Her heart ached as she thought about it. It turned out that Doctor Bai was quite pitiful as well.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li Xue tried to put on a smile on her face again. “Then, Xi Xi, what do you want to do while waiting for your brother?”

Bai Xi Xi pondered over this question seriously. This was the first time that she had met this sister. Therefore, she could not think of anything that the two of them could do together.

“Xi Xi, have you had your meal yet? Do you want to go and sit at a cafe while waiting for your brother?” Zhang Li Xue suggested.

There were a few eatery places around the hospital. Zhang Li Xue thought that it would be a good idea to wait for Bai Qi at such a place.

Bai Xi Xi touched her stomach. She realized that she had not eaten her lunch yet.

Earlier, Auntie Ji was preparing her lunch when Xiao Yan injured herself. Auntie Ji had not finished cooking. She had to turn off the stove before taking them to the hospital.

“I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Then, let’s go and eat. Xi Xi, what do you want to eat?”

“Sister Zhang, can I have noodles?”

“You like noodles?”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. “I like noodles the most. Brother Bai Qi made the best noodles, but Xi Xi loved every kind of noodles as well.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “Your brother could make noodles as well?”

“Un.” Bai Xi Xi nodded again. “Brother Bai Qi’s cooking is very good.”

Zhang Li Xue thought that the more she talked to this girl, the more that she was going to learn about Bai Qi. Perhaps, if she asked the right question before Bai Qi arrived at the restaurant, she would be able to learn everything about him.

Now that she thought about it, Doctor Bai was such a quiet man, wasn’t he? If she did not ask him any questions, he would not tell her anything. It seemed that he did not like to talk about himself and would rather listen to her chatters.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Li Xue took the little girl to the nearest cafe and texted Bai Qi that the two of them were going to wait for him over there.

Zhang Li Xue ordered a bowl of noodles for the little girl and a glass of juice for herself. Seeing how the little girl continued to look at everything around her curiously made her wonder just what was going on in her mind.

Once she was done looking around, Bai Xi Xi looked at the sister in front of her again and smiled shyly.

Her brother had sent her to live with other people all her life. Each time, her brother would send her to stay with a middle-aged woman, such as Auntie Jiang and Auntie Ji.

This was the first time that Bai Xi Xi had stayed with a pretty sister and she could not take her eyes off her. She would never think that her brother would have a friend such as this pretty sister.

Zhang Li Xue chuckled when she noticed the way the little girl was staring at her. “Xi Xi, is there something you wanted to say?”

Bai Xi Xi shook her head. A few seconds later, she paused and nodded. “Sister, are you really my brother’s friend?”

Zhang Li Xue wondered if perhaps the little girl was now worrying if she was a kidnapper.

“Of course. Your brother helped me a few times and later we became friends. Is it strange that we are friends?”

“No. But, most of Brother Bai Qi’s friends are boys. Xi Xi never thought that Brother Bai Qi would have a girl friend as well. Sister Zhang, you are the first I met.”

Her brow raised. Zhang Li Xue suddenly wondered if this little sweet girl was hinting that her brother was still single.
