Love So Sweet

As the event was scheduled to happen around lunch hour, Zhang Li Xue decided to make a stop at her Uncle Qi Zheng’s place.

When she arrived, Zhang Li Xue was surprised to see that Bai Xi Xi was at the house, playing with Qi Yue. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Xi Xi!”

The little girl turned around as well. Bai Xi Xi quickly get up when she saw the pretty sister in front of her. “Pretty Sister! Why are you here as well?”

Qi Yue saw their interaction and quickly joined them as well. “Sister, you know Xi Xi?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Un. We met quite a few times. Her brother is also a friend of mine.”

“So, it’s like that.” Qi Yue nodded.

After her parents decided to look after Bai Xi Xi on the weekend, Qi Yue’s relationship with the little girl had gotten better as well. As the youngest and the only girl among her sibling, Qi Yue thought that having a little sister like Bai Xi Xi was quite good.

As she mentioned Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue started to look around, wanting to look for that man. When she could not find him, Zhang Li Xue turned to look at Bai Xi XI again. “Your brother isn’t here?”

.....

The smile on Bai Xi Xi’s lips faded. However, the little girl tried so hard to make it so no one would notice the look on her face. “My brother has to work all week.”

Bai Xi Xi still could not hide her disappointment.

Her brother was supposed to take her out to buy a few things this weekend. However, he suddenly has to go to work. Moreover... her brother seemed to hint that he might not be able to come to her teacher and parent’s meeting.

Although he had told her that he would try hard to make it, Bai Xi Xi had this feeling that her brother might not be able to come.

Bai Xi Xi knew that her brother loved her very much.

However, because of his work, there are some things that he could not avoid.

Zhang Li Xue noticed the look on Bai Xi Xi right away.

The little girl looked lonely without her brother around.

After getting to know the sibling, Zhang Li Xue knew how much Bai Xi Xi was relying on her brother. The siblings only had each other. However, Bai Qi’s schedule made it difficult for Bai Xi Xi to see the only family she had.

Zhang Li Xue had the urge to hug the little girl in her embrace, however, before she could do anything, Bai Xi Xi had put on a bright smile on her face again.

“Pretty Sister, are you going somewhere?” Bai Xi Xi asked when she noticed that Zhang Li Xue was all dressed up and wearing makeup.

It was the first time that she had seen Zhang Li Xue like this. Bai Xi Xi could not help but to admire the dress for a while longer.

“Mmm... I have an event that I need to attend,” Zhang Li Xue said. A thought came to her mind and she spoke again, “Once I’m done, how about if I come over and accompany you to play?”

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up again. “Really?”

Seeing the excited look on Bai Xi Xi’s face made her giggle. “Of course. For now, why don’t you play with Sister Yue first?”

Qi Yue patted the little girl on her head. “Xi Xi, didn’t you tell me that you wanted to learn to play basketball? I can also teach you.”

“That’s right.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “In the past, I taught Sister Yue to play basketball as well. You can definitely learn from her.”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Then, I’ll stay here and wait for you.”

The little girl was too adorable. Zhang Li Xue could not stop herself from pinching her softly on the cheek.

Last time, Bai Qi had also pinched her cheek like this.

Zhang Li Xue figured out that this was also how Bai Qi had pinched his little sister. She quickly retracted her hand and turned to Qi Yue again. “Where is your father?” She waved the documents in her hand and spoke, “My dad wanted me to deliver him some documents.”

“He should be in his study,” Qi Yue said.

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Then, I will go and see him first.”

As she was familiar with the place, Zhang Li Xue did not need anyone to guide her to her uncle’s study. She arrived on the second floor and knocked on the door.

Once she obtained permission to enter, Zhang Li Xue pushed the door and entered the room.

Qi Zheng looked up and was surprised to see Zhang Li Xue in front of him. “Li Xue? Why are you here?”

Zhang Li Xue waved the documents in her hand. “Daddy said you need these documents. Since I’m on my way out, I decided to stop by and deliver them to you.”

Qi Zheng chuckled. “Thank you.” He took the documents from Zhang Li Xue and browsed through them quickly. Once he saw that they were the documents he needed, Qi Zheng then put the documents on his desk. He looked at Zhang Li Xue again and noted the way she was dressed.

His brow rose. “Are you going on a date?”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “Of course, not. I’m just going to attend a friend’s company ceremony. That’s all.”

The two of them exchanged a few words.

Just as Zhang Li Xue was about to turn around, she suddenly recalled that she had yet talked to her uncle about Bai Qi.

“Uncle Qi Zheng.”

“Hmm?” QI Zheng raised his head again.

“Recently, is the hospital that busy?”

Qi Zheng leaned on his chair and laughed. “When is the hospital not busy?” He seemed to be thinking of something. “Did you meet Doctor Bai’s little sister downstairs?”

“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “But, this was not the reason I ask that question. A few days ago, I ran into Doctor Bai at the hospital.”

Qi Zheng was alarmed when he heard her words. “Why did you go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell again?”

“No. I’m fine.” Her lips turned up, knowing her uncle worried about her. “My mom wanted me to send something to Doctor Bai, to thank him for coming over the other day.”

Qi Zheng nodded. But, there was a faint discomfort look on his face. Unfortunately, Zhang Li Xue did not notice this look.

“Just that... Uncle, I think there is something wrong with Doctor Bai. He won’t tell me what it is, but he seemed upset about something.”

A deep frown appeared on his face. Now that Zhang Li Xue had mentioned it, Qi Zheng recalled that recently, Bai Qi has been a little strange. There were a few times that he seemed out of focus. “Mmm... I know. I will go and talk to him later.”
