Love So Sweet

He stood in the parking area for a long time, wondering how he was supposed to handle this matter. After a while, he went home to look for his sister.

When he arrived, his sister was in the living room, teaching Bai Xi Xi some mathematic solutions. He stood at the side to watch them and waited for his sister to be done.

Once they were done, Bai Xi Xi looked up and poked at Zhang Li Xue to tell her that someone was watching. It was only then that Zhang Li Xue turned around to look at his brother.

“What are you standing there for?” Zhang Li Xue raised a brow. “Do you have something you wanted to say to me?”

Zhang Yi Hai coughed. “Mhm... Sister, I have something to talk to you about.”

Bai Xi Xi looked at the siblings. Then she stood up. “Then, sister-in-law, I’ll go to the kitchen to grab something to drink.” She looked at Zhang Yi Hai and asked, “Brother Yi Hai, would you like something to drink as well?”

“Alright.” Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Xi Xi, thank you.”

The little girl looked at Zhang Yi Hai shyly before turning around and heading to the kitchen. Seeing that Brother Yi Hai seemed to have something to talk to her sister-in-law, Bai Xi Xi decided to stay in the kitchen and eat some snacks before she would come out again.

.....

Once Bai Xi Xi was away, Zhang Li Xue turned to her brother again and asked, “What do you want to talk to me about.”

Zhang Yi Hai sat down on the sofa. “Sister, dad found out about Su Jin and me.” Zhang Yi Hai whispered, worried that their mother would suddenly come and overheard their conversation.

“What did you say?” Her eyes widened. Zhang Li Xue almost could not believe what she was hearing. She looked around and was relieved that she could not find anyone listening. “How did Daddy find out about that?” She made sure not to raise her voice.

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips. “Someone mailed a photo of us to Dad.” He then told his sister about his classmate creating trouble for him.

“Zhang Yi Hai, I did not think that you would be this popular.” Zhang Li Xue looked at his brother, amused. “Then, how did our dad react to this?”

His sister, Zhang Li Xue thought that his brother wanted her help to talk to their father. As their father doted on her a lot it would be easier for her to help to talk to their father.

“Dad... it seemed that he did not mind that we are dating.”

“Really?”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. Then, he began to tell his sister about his conversation with their father earlier.

Of course, Zhang Li Xue was surprised to hear how their father had reacted. She had imagined that their father would beat up Zhang Yi Hai for dating Fang Su Jin.

She recalled the last time she had introduced Bai Qi as her boyfriend. Her father did not seem happy, but he did not let it show on his face.

Fortunately, her father’s relationship with Bai Qi was getting a lot better recently. The two of them would often sit down and talk.

“But Sister, that classmate managed to send a package to our dad,” Zhang Yi Hai continued. “I’m worried that she would send the same packaging to Su Jin’s parents as well.”

Zhang Li Xue stood up straight. Her expression darkened as he thought that someone would bully her best friend. “That classmate, did she know Su Jin?”

“They have met a few times before. Moreover, she had attended Su Jin’s art exhibition in Capital City,” Zhang Yi Hai said.

“Then, she only knew Su Jin as a painter, right?” Zhang Li Xue watched as her brother nodded and thought about this matter. After a while, she let out a sigh and spoke, “You probably did not have to worry about this. When Su Jin decided to become a painter, she did not give out her any information about her family as she did not want to be given special treatment. Unless if your classmate knew about her family background beforehand, she won’t be able to find out anything.”

Father Fang was quite protective of his daughter. Of course, concealing Fang Su Jin’s identity was not really hard for him.

“But if you want to be careful, you have to talk to Su Jin about this,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Other than Su Jin, there would be no one who could stop Father Fang from reading any suspicious letter.”

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips. Initially, she did not want to mention this matter to Su Jin. However, it seemed that he will have no choice but to speak to his girlfriend about this.

His expression was solemn, thinking of how he had gotten Fang Su Jin into this trouble.

After speaking to his sister, Zhang Yi Hai went back to his room. He pondered over his conversation with his sister before calling his girlfriend.

The call went through after a few seconds and Fang Su Jin’s face appeared on his screen.

Zhang Yi Hai saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and smiled.

He could already imagine how Fang Su Jin ran up the stairs to get back to her room and answer his phone call.

“You’re back?” Fang Su Jin spoke when she noticed that Zhang Yi Hai was already in his bedroom. She had visited his room previously and was quite familiar with it.

“Mhm...”

“Why did your dad want to talk to you about it?” Fang Su Jin asked.

She still remembered that they were supposed to be on a date when Zhang Yi Hai called him to the hotel. Because of that, their date was cut short.

Zhang Yi Hai was still reluctant to tell Fang Su Jin about his conversation with his father. After all, he had promised her that he will keep their relationship a secret from their parents until the exam result came out.

Now that he thought about it, it would not be too long before the result came out.

“Su Jin, I have something to discuss with you.”

Fang Su Jin sat up straight when he saw that the look on Zhang Yi Hai’s face was not right. “What is it?”

Zhang Yi Hai inhaled a deep breath before he told Fang Su Jin about the letter.

Fang Su Jin could not hide her shock. In her opinion, Ji Xin Xin looked like a gentle lady. Who would have thought that she would dare to pull a trick just because she was not happy that Zhang Yi Hai was dating her?

“You don’t have to worry about this,” Fang Su Jin assured. “I will keep an eye on this packaging for you.”

Zhang Yi Hai was relieved that his girlfriend was not angry.
