Love So Sweet

Zhang Li Xue looked out the window and heaved a breath of relief upon noticing that her brother was not taking her to a vegetarian restaurant.

A while ago, this annoying person had told her that he would treat her to a good meal. When they arrived, Zhang Li Xue realized that her brother had taken her to a vegetarian restaurant. On that day, Zhang Li Xue had eaten a plate of vegetarian chicken wings and cried.

Fortunately, this time, Zhang Yi Hai had taken her to a noodle restaurant.

The siblings chose a seat near the window and ordered their food.

As they were waiting for their food to arrive, Zhang Li Xue looked out the window and noticed that this area was quite close to the hospital where their Uncle Qi Zheng was working at.

The last time she came to this area, it was to send back her uncle’s student.

Zhang Li Xue suddenly thought of the basketball match and smiled.

She wondered if there would be another chance for her to play another match of basketball with that young doctor again. She really wanted to play a one-on-one match and see just how skillful he was.

.....

It has been a long time since she was this excited.

“Sister, what are you smiling at?” Zhang Yi Hai followed his sister’s line of gaze but could not see anything worth smiling about.

His voice snapped out of her thought. Zhang Li Xue let out a cough. “Nothing.” She pointed at a random couple across the street and spoke, “I just thought that the couple was kind of cute.”

Zhang Yi Hai followed her gaze and saw a young couple holding hands while walking on the street. He looked at his sister again and thought that she was a little suspicious. “Are you thinking of dating?”

The server walked over this time while carrying their order. Zhang Li Xue looked into her bowl of hot beef noodles and spoke, “Zhang Yi Hai, you are always worried about me being in a relationship. Do you want me to stay single forever?”

“It’s not that I want you to stay single forever. But as your brother, I’m a little worried that you might be tricked by some bad person.”

Zhang Li Xue clicked her tongue.

“If anyone wants to date you, that person will have to go through me. I will help and check to see if he’s worthy of you or not.”

Zhang Li Xue thought that her brother was full of nonsense.

If she wanted to date anyone, it would be up to her. She still has eyes. She could judge whether that person would be worthy of her or not.

“Anyway.” Zhang Yi Hai clipped his noodle and paused. “It doesn’t matter if you stay single. I will look over you.”

“Who wants to stay single forever? Don’t say a word if you don’t know how to say something nice.”

Zhang Li Xue thought that spending time with her brother would soon drive her crazy. She really missed that baby Zhang Yi Hai who didn’t know how to talk back.

The two of them ate their food in silence.

As they were about to leave the restaurant, the siblings ran into a familiar face. The Zhang siblings were on their way out when they see the other person coming in.

The three of them could not hide their surprise upon meeting each other.

“Doctor Bai, hello.” It was Zhang Li Xue who had spoken first.

Bai Qi snapped out of his trance and nodded at the siblings. “Hello.”

“Are you here to eat some noodles as well?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

“Uh-huh.” A faint smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face.

He came over to this shop to buy some noodles for his little sister. Bai Qi would never think that he would run into Zhang Li Xue somewhere close to his apartment.

As he recalled that he still had to feed his little sister and return to the hospital, Bai Qi quickly excused himself. “Sorry. I’m in a hurry. I still need to return to the hospital later. Miss Zhang, I will talk to you later.”

Today, Auntie Ji who was always looking after his sister had to be somewhere else. Bai Qi had no other choice but to let his sister stay at home alone. Now that he was on a short break, Bai Qi decided to run back and get his sister her lunch.

Zhang Li Xue watched the man walk over to the counter and sighed. It seemed that being a doctor was quite busy. She turned around and walked out to leave the restaurant.

When she turned to her brother again, Zhang Li Xue could not help but notice that her brother was looking at her strangely. “What?”

“Sister, you seemed quite friendly with that doctor.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “Alright. You need to stop being suspicious of every man around me. That doctor is Uncle Qi Zheng’s student and he had helped me before. Why can’t I be friendly to him?”

Zhang Yi Hai thought that his sister’s words made sense. However, he could not help but feel that there was something wrong with it. “I’m not saying that you can’t be friendly to him. I was merely asking.”

“Are you leaving or not?”

Zhang Yi Hai decided to put this matter in the back of his mind. He unlocked the car and slid into the driver’s seat.

The AUDI drove past the noodle shop before it disappeared at the junction.

Bai Qi watched the car until he could no longer see it and sighed.

Their meeting this time was too short. He wondered when will be the next time he could see her again.

After getting his order of food, Bai Qi went back to his apartment. When he walked in, his little sister was sitting in the living room while doing her exercise.

Bai Xi Xi smiled brightly upon seeing her brother at the door. “Brother Bai Qi! You’re back”

Bai Qi smiled helplessly as he watched the little girl run over to his side. “Xi Xi, I bought you some noodles.”

The little girl peeked at the paper bag in her brother’s hand in excitement.

Bai Qi walked over to the dining table and helped to unpack the meal for his sister. He watched as the girl ate her noodle happily and spoke, “I still have to head over to the hospital after this. Xi Xi, I will get back as soon as possible, alright?”

The little girl nodded. She patted at her chest and spoke, “Brother Bai Qi, don’t worry. I’m a big girl. I won’t be afraid to stay alone.”
