Love So Sweet

On his desk were a few books that he had borrowed from his mentor.

Bai Qi was browsing through the book when the phone on his desk buzzed. While keeping his eyes on the thick book, Bai Qi reached to take the phone. He glanced at the notification before looking at the book again.

A few seconds later, his movement stopped.

He turned to look at his phone again and held it with both hands.

The name on the phone stunned him.

He tried not to blink for fear that the name would disappear and everything would only be his imagination.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qi swiped his finger on the phone and read the message again and again. Her question was simple, but Bai Qi was worried that he might miss some important words.

“Doctor Bai, would you be free this Saturday? I want to treat you to a meal.”

.....

His hands began to shake. Bai Qi switched the applications to his calendar. Coincidentally, he will be on his off day this Saturday.

Then, what should he do next? Should he just agree?

Bai Qi was quick to realize that there was another important matter.

His sister.

The little girl would not be going to the kindergarten on weekends. He had thought that he wanted to spend his time accompanying his sister.

However, it was also a rare chance to go out with his little fairy.

Bai Qi was afraid that once he rejected this invitation, soon, the two of them would be too busy with other things. Then, his chances to see her would decrease.

Zhang Li Xue would not be coming to the hospital every day to visit her uncle. The chances of him running into her at Doctor Qi Zheng’s house was also low.

He had been to Doctor Qi’s house a few times with his sister. However, each time, he would be disappointed when he did not see Zhang Li Xue again.

Then, what should he do? Bring Xi Xi along?

That would be too strange, wouldn’t it?

Should he ask the landlord to look after his sister again?

But then, Xi Xi would be disappointed when she could not spend her time with him.

What should he do?

Bai Qi closed his eyes and pondered over this question for a long time. However, a few minutes later, Bai Qi was worried that Zhang Li Xue would think that he was not interested after he had kept silent for a long time.

At this time, his gaze fell on the jar of coins on his desk.

He took one of the coins and tossed it in the air. This time, he will let fate decide for him.

Slowly, he removed his hand to peek at the coin on his hand.

Then, he took his phone and sent out his reply.

...

Zhang Li Xue giggled, finding that she was quite smart this time.

She wanted to treat Doctor Bai to a meal and thank him for his help. However, knowing her brother ad the triplets, the four of them would make a fuss once they learned that she would be going out, meeting an opposite ender.

Because the boys liked to keep a close eye on her, Zhang Li Xue arranged to meet Doctor Bai Qi during their working hours.

This time, she did not have to be embarrassed with her brother and the triplets following her around like her little ducklings.

Although she loved her brother and the triplets dearly, Zhang Li Xue would also get tired to have them keep their eyes on her.

However, knowing that they were concerned about her, Zhang Li Xue decided not to say anything about it. As long as they did not go overboard, she could still tolerate their presence.

As she was still thinking about her brilliant plan, the phone in her hand began to ring. Zhang Li Xue looked at the caller ID and the smile on her lips widened when she saw the name on the screen.

It was her high-school classmate, Zhou Tong.

She swiped her finger on the screen and pressed her phone to her ear. “Zhou Tong. What’s up?”

In the past, Zhou Tong was one of the members of their school’s girl’s basketball team. The two of them shared their interest in the sport and had fought alongside each other for a few years.

However, in the final year, Zhou Tong met an accident and could no longer play basketball. Even so, her relationship with Zhou Tong was quite good.

The two of them would keep in contact once in a while.

The friends exchanged a few pleasantries before Zhou Tong went to the point.

“Li Xue, you haven’t looked at the class’s chatting group, right?”

“I have been busy recently What’s the matter?”

“Our classmates are planning for a reunion next month. The boys heard that Mu Zhen Yu had returned from overseas and wanted to celebrate it. You know that he hasn’t returned to Y City since he left for G Country,” Zhou Tong spoke. “Ah. That’s right. Li Xue, I remember that you are quite close to Mu Zhen Yu. You should know that he has been back in the city for a few months, right?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “I met him on a few occasions.”

“I heard from the guys that he had grown a lot handsome. Is it true?” Zhou Tong was in the mood to gossip.

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “I guess so. He looked more... grown up.” Mu Zhen Yu’s face popped up in her mind. Zhang Li Xue agreed that Mu Zhen Yu had grown handsome.

Anyway, Mu Zhen Yu was always good-looking even in high school.

Back then, he had a lot of fans as well, right?

“Since you did not look at the chatting group, our class monitor let me call you to ask whether you would want to join. They are planning to book a room at some restaurant for this reunion.”

“When is the date?”
