Love So Sweet

“Don’t just put more food on my bowl. Bai Qi, you need to eat as well. Don’t you need to work the evening shift as well?”

“It’s fine. I like watching you eat,” Bai Qi said.

“What’s so fun about watching another person eat?” Zhang Li Xue muttered.

“This is not just another person. I’m watching my girlfriend eating.”

Zhang Li Xue felt as if her head was exploding.

Bai Qi had called her his girlfriend and that was enough to make her feel giddy. Her heart was beating fast that she started to worry if it was going to jump out of her chest. She could feel her face turn warmer.

Who would have thought that Bai Qi would be very good with his words?

Lowering her gaze, Zhang Li Xue began to eat a little slowly.

.....

“Li Xue, are we still going to accompany Xi Xi to play basketball this weekend?”

Zhang Li Xue looked surprised when she heard his question. “Will you have to be on duty?” Her heart sunk at the thought that she would not be able to spend her time with him.

“No.” Bai Qi put down his pair of chopsticks and looked at her for a long time. “But Li Xue, we have only started to go out. Don’t you want to go out with just the two of us?”

“I want to.”

Zhang Li Xue’s expression turned a little complicated. She also wanted to be with just Bai Qi and enjoy their two-person world...

However, they already made their plans. It would be too late to change it now, right?

“But I already promised Xi Xi that I will teach her a few moves,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I don’t want to go back on my words. Xi Xi might be disappointed.”

Bai Qi heaved a helpless sigh.

On one part, he was glad to know that his little fairy cared about his little sister very much. However, it seemed that he had just lost against Bai Xi Xi.

Bai Qi did not know if he could be happy with it.

“Let’s go out next time when you’re free,” Zhang Li Xue decided.

“Are you sure it’s alright?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue flashed him a smile. “It’s alright. We got plenty of time together.”

His lips pursed into a thin line as he thought of his schedule. Because of his work, it would be a bit hard for them to go out together on a date. His off day was never fixed. Usually, when he would be on his off day, Zhang Li Xue still has to work.

It seemed that other than having a date at the hospital, it would be hard for them to go out.

Should he go and find her at the hotel then?

However, Bai Qi was quick to figure out that it would be a little difficult.

After all, if he came to find Zhang Li Xue at the hotel, her father would definitely know about it.

Bai Qi still had the memory of Zhang Li Xue’s father.

When they were little, he had pulled at Zhang Li Xue’s hair just because he was not happy that she continued to look at Mu Zhen Yu.

Because of that, Zhang Li Xue cried and went to find her father.

The man’s piercing gaze was still fresh in his mind. Bai Qi remembered how scared he was that he had to hide behind his mother.

However, it seemed that his late parents too were afraid of Zhang Li Xue’s father. Each time that the Zhang family sent an invitation to his family, it would be his grandparents who had to show their faces.

Suddenly, Bai Qi could imagine that dating Zhang Li Xue would be difficult. The thought of meeting her father again made him tremble.

After having their meals together, Bai Qi sent his girlfriend to her car again.

Bai Qi began to foresee that this would be a new routine for both of them. Unfortunately, they both could only see each other for a brief time like this.

Once they reached her AUDI, Zhang Li Xue looked at their intertwined hands and sighed, feeling very reluctant to part.

However, if she stayed for too long, her parents were going to suspect something. Moreover, she hasn’t been coming home for dinner these past few days.

“Next time when you come over to the hospital, you can always go to my office,” Bai Qi said as he was reminded of how Nurse Tian had approached him to tell him that she had let Zhang Li Xue wait in there. “If I’m not around, you can wait for me there.”

“Will that be appropriate?”

“Why wouldn’t it be appropriate? You are my family member. You are allowed to stay in my office. Don’t worry. I will let the others know.”

Her cheek reddened, looking bashful.

Zhang Li Xue thought that Bai Qi was definitely a fast learner. In the beginning, he was too slow in everything that she had to be the one to take the initiative.

Now look, he started to attack her with words that would make her heart jump.

Zhang Li Xue became shy that she did not dare to look at Bai Qi again.

“Li Xue.”

Hearing him calling her name, Zhang Li Xue began to look up again. “What...”

Her words were left unfinished.

Before she knew it, Bai Qi had lowered his head to kiss her on the corner of her lips. Then, he took a step back quickly, and stretched his arms to touch the top of her head gently.

Everything was moving too fast that Zhang Li Xue was having a hard time that someone had taken advantage to kiss her. Or could it be that she was imagining things?

Her heartbeat accelerated as Zhang Li Xue noticed the way Bai Qi was looking at her with his deep gaze. To be precise, Bai Qi was looking at her lips.

By now, Zhang Li Xue was very sure that Bai Qi had kissed her.

Regretfully, she did not get to experience the kiss properly. She wasn’t satisfied with this.

There was a complicated look on her face. After a brief hesitation, Zhan Li Xue spoke again, “Bai Qi.”

“Hmm?” His throat rolled.

“Can you do it again?”

Bai Qi raised his gaze to meet her eyes. Then, he noticed how her face resembled a cooked shrimp.

“Can you kiss me again?” Zhang Li Xue whispered. Her voice trembled slightly.
