Love So Sweet

She then stared at the phone screen for five minutes before she finally gave up.

Since Bai Qi did not reply to her, then it should mean that he was busy with work.

Before they parted, Bai Qi had received a phone call from the hospital. He probably had an emergency patient or something.

Zhang Li Xue could not help but feel disappointed. However, the moment she recalled what had happened at the hospital’s parking lot, her lips gradually turned into a wide smile.

She had not thought that there was going to be big progress when she decided to visit Bai Qi at the hospital and accompany him for dinner.

They are now together!

Then, does it mean that Bai Qi is now her boyfriend?

Her heart skipped a beat as the thought came to her mind.

.....

Zhang Li Xue reached for the plushie on her bed and held it tighter as she rolled around the bed. It would be the first time she had been in a relationship. It would be alright to act like a silly girl, right?

Just then, her phone rang.

Zhang Li Xue sat up quickly and reached for her phone which she had thrown on the mattress. The smile on her lips turned sillier as she was anticipating a certain someone’s phone call.

Bai Qi probably had finished his task and was now taking a short break.

However, her smile stiffened the moment she saw the name on the screen.

The person who was calling was not Bai Qi, but Mu Zhen Yu.

Taking a deep breath to adjust her mood, Zhang Li Xue put on a smile on her face and picked up the phone call. “Hello? Brother Zhen Yu?”

Mu Zhen Yu could sense that Zhang Li Xue was in a good mood just by hearing her tone. The thought that Zhang Li Xue was happy to receive his call made him smile. “Xiao Li Xue. What are you doing?”

“Nothing much. I just got home a while ago. Brother Zhen Yu, why did you call at this time?”

“Mmm... I just wanted to tell you that I met your Auntie Han and Uncle Song earlier today,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “If nothing goes wrong, then, we should be able to collaborate.”

“Really? That is good news!”

Mu Zhen Yu laughed. “Uh-huh. I have to thank you for introducing them to me.”

“I didn’t do anything. Uncle Song heard about your company a while ago and wanted to approach you. Coincidentally, he heard that we know each other. He thought that it would be convenient to approach you through me.”

“I still have to thank you,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “How about I treat you to a meal this weekend?”

Mu Zhen Yu would feel guilty each time he recalled leaving Zhang Li Xue alone at the cinema. He always reminded himself that he have to make up for it.

Now that he found his chance to ask her out again, Mu Zhen Yu was not going to let it go.

“I’m sorry. But I already make another appointment with my friends this weekend,” Zhang Li Xue said.

She only got herself a boyfriend an hour ago. Of course, she would want to spend her time going on a date with him. Zhang Li Xue still remembered that Bai Qi should be on his off day this weekend. They have promised to bring Bai Xi Xi to practice basketball together.

“Is that so?” Mu Zhen Yu could not hide his disappointment.

“Let’s do it another time.”

“Alright.”

The two of them exchanged brief words before they hang out.

Zhang Li Xue stared at her phone again and saw that Bai Qi was still not replying to her message. Heaving a sigh, Zhang Li Xue decided to take a quick shower when someone knocked on her door.

A few seconds later, her mother peeked her head into the bedroom. “Li Xue, can I come in?”

Her eyes lit up. “Mommy! Of course, you can.”

Li Qin Yao looked at her daughter and sighed. “You still haven’t showered yet?”

“I was about to go.” Zhang Li Xue stuck out her tongue playfully. “Mommy, why are you looking for me?”

“Your Auntie Han called earlier to tell me that Uncle Song’s company will be collaborating with Mu Zhen Yu’s company,” Li Qin Yao said.

“Un. I also heard about this from Brother Zhen Yu.”

Li Qin Yao smiled. “Your Auntie Han said, the next time she came to Y City, she will definitely buy you a big gift to thank you.”

“Mommy, I didn’t do anything other than passing Brother Zhen Yu’s personal phone number to Uncle Song,” Zhang Li Xue said. “There’s no need to buy me a gift.”

“Your Auntie Han just doted on you, don’t you know it?”

Zhang Li Xue batted her eyes innocently. “Of course, I know this.”

Li Qin Yao laughed. A while later, her expression turned serious. “That’s right. Mommy has something else to ask you. About you and Zhen Yu... Are you together with him?”

Zhang Li Xue looked at her mother in horror. “Mommy! Of course, not.”

“I was just asking. Why do you look so surprised?” Li Qin Yao chuckled. “After Zhen Yu returned to Y City, the two of you have been going out a few times. Because of that, Zhen Yu’s mother often asked about you.”

“My relationship with Brother Zhen Yu is nothing more than friends. I don’t have feelings for him in that way,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I only view him as a big brother.”

“Alright. I understand.” Li Qin Yao stretched her hand to pinch her daughter’s nose. “It’s just that, other than Mu Zhen Yu, it seemed that there were no other boys around you. Li Xue, have you thought about dating?”

Zhang Li Xue’s face turned red. She wondered if her mother might know something.

“Mommy... what dating? Would my Daddy even allow it?”

Li Qin Yao laughed. “You are right. Your father worried about you too much. I also didn’t know what to do about him.” A thought came to her mind and a playful smile curled on her lips. “How about this... Li Xue, when you founds someone you like, you should tell Mommy first. Then, I will help you to talk to your father.”

Her eyes lit up. However, Zhang Li Xue tried not to make it obvious. She held her mother’s arms and hugged her tightly. “Then, when the time comes, Mommy, you have to help me.”
