Love So Sweet

He glanced at the clock and decided to have his breakfast first.

Halfway through his breakfast his mother walked into the room and sat down next to him.

Li Qin Yao poured herself a cup of coffee before turning to her son. “Are you going back to Capital City today?”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Un. There are still a few assignments that I need to finish. But, I’ll come back again next week.”

“I’ll send you over to the airport.”

“Mom, it’s fine. My flight is in the evening. I can grab a taxi to the airport.” Zhang Yi Hai smiled. “It’ll be troublesome if you got stuck in traffic on your way home.”

Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh.

She could not help but feel a bit disappointed that her children did not need her that much. When did they grow up so fast?

.....

Zhang Yi Hai ate the meat bun in his hand. His movement stopped when his gaze fell on the bouquet of roses on the table. He lowered his gaze and spoke, “Mom, did you know about Sister?”

Noticing that his mother did not reply to him quickly, Zhang Yi Hai raised his head and saw that his mother was looking at him.

“Yesterday, did your sister introduce you to someone?” Li Qin Yao asked.

“Yeah.” His lips curled into a faint smile. He did not expect that his mother would know what he was talking about. Zhang Yi Hai had expected that he will need to give his mother a few more clues. “Mom, you know about it.”

“Hmm... Your sister told me about it and had introduced Bai Qi to me,” Li Qin Yao said.

“Then, Dad is the only person who did not know about it?”

Li Qin Yao laughed. “Un. Your sister is still thinking of how she should tell your dad about it. Yi Hai, help your sister to keep this secret a while longer. When the time comes, your sister will tell your dad herself.”

Zhang Yi Hai lowered his head. “Mom, you’ve seen that man. What do you think about him?”

“Bai Qi?” Li Qin Yao pursed her lips as Bai Qi’s face appeared in her mind. “I met him a couple of times. I think he’s a good and responsible person. The most important thing is that he liked your sister very much.”

Li Qin Yao sighed as she recalled the adorable Bai Xi Xi. She liked that little girl very much. Bai Xi Xi was very adorable as compared to Zhang Li Xue when she was about that age. The young Zhang Li Xue only has basketball in her mind most of the time and acted like a little tyrant.

But this was also because everyone around her spoiled Zhang Li Xue a little too much.

She suddenly wanted to see young kids running around the house.

Fortunately, her daughter is now seeing someone. If everything goes well, perhaps, their family members would grow.

Later, she will only have to worry about her son.

“Then, what about you?” Li Qin Yao asked. “What do you think of Bai Qi?”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Yi Hai said with a shrug. “It’s still too early to say. I have only met him a few times. I don’t pay that much attention to him.” The only thing he knew was that, Bai Qi was really good at basketball.

Li Qin Yao thought that her son’s reaction was kind of cute. Now that his sister was dating, could it be that he would be jealous of Bai Qi? After all, this boy has been sticky to his sister all the time. Since they were young, Zhang Li Xue would lead her brother and the triplets everywhere she go. The four boys were like her tails.

“Actually, I always thought that your sister would be together with Mu Zhen Yu.”

A deep frown appeared on his face as he heard that man’s name. Zhang Yi Hai recalled his last meeting with Mu Zhen Yu yesterday. Now that he thought about it, Zhang Yi Hai wondered about Mu Zhen Yu’s intention when he mentioned his sister’s relationship. In his opinion, Mu Zhen Yu did not have the right to tell him that his sister was dating someone.

“Mom, why do you think that my sister will be together with him?”

“After all, he’s the only one who stayed around your sister’s side,” Li Qin Yao said. “I thought that your sister might like him a little bit. When your sister told me that she was dating Bai Qi, I was surprised.”

“Mom, Brother Zhen Yu isn’t a good person for my sister,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “It’s impossible for my sister to be with him.”

“Why do you think so?”

Although Zhang Li Xue was quite close to Mu Zhen Yu, Li Qin Yao remembered that her son and her husband had always been against that boy.

Li Qin Yao understood that her husband did not like Mu Zhen Yu because he did not like his daughter to get close to another boy.

Zhang Yu Han loved his daughter a lot and would view any boys as pigs that tried to take away the cabbage he had protected.

In the past, Li Qin Yao had always thought that Zhang Yi Hai’s cold attitude towards Mu Zhen Yu was because of his father. But why does it seem as if it was not the case?

Li Qin Yao raised a brow. “You don’t think that Mu Zhen Yu like your sister?”

But, according to that boy’s mother, Mu Zhen Yu liked her daughter. This was also the reason why she had asked Zhang Li Xue about Mu Zhen Yu previously.

“Perhaps he does like her. Just that, I don’t think he liked her enough,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Even if they stay together, they would not last for a long time. Otherwise, don’t you think that they would have been together a while ago?”

Li Qin Yao let out a sigh again. “I guess, you are right.”

Zhang Yi Hai hid his expression.

In his opinion, that person was a bit selfish. Mu Zhen Yu might like his sister, but he was not considerate of his sister’s feelings. Fortunately, his sister was not too blind to date someone like Mu Zhen Yu. That relationship would only hurt his sister.
