Love So Sweet

Because Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen just had a match and felt a little sweaty, they both decided to take a seat outside. Fortunately, the sun was not that hot and the breeze was blowing gently.

The kids pulled two tables and sat together. Everyone sat down quietly the moment they sat down with their ice cream. Fu Ying sat with the toddler and fed him ice cream once in a while.

Bai Xi Xi looked at Fu Chen with the kids surrounding him. The tall boy was busy reminding his siblings to eat carefully. After a while, he leaned over with a tissue paper in his hand to wipe the smudge of ice cream from their faces.

Fu Chen looked like a young father looking after his children.

Suddenly, a certain memory came to her mind.

In the past, whenever she go out with her brother, people would think that she was his daughter. Even her sister-in-law had initially misunderstood their relationship.

Fu Ying ate her ice cream quickly before it melted. She swept her gaze around and thought that it was good to gather around like this. Fu Ying turned to Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “Pretty Sister, you are quite good at basketball. Can you also teach me?”

She had always seen her brother practicing basketball. However, she never had an interest in this sport until she saw Bai Xi Xi on the basketball court.

.....

“Why are you asking my classmate? Ying Ying, did you forget that you still have an elder brother?” Fu Chen shot a dissatisfied look at his sister.

“But Sister’s skills are better than yours,” Fu Ying mumbled. “Brother, didn’t you lose to Sister?”

Fu Chen felt a stab of pain in his heart.

Even though he had to admit that Bai Xi Xi’s skills were better than his, it still hurt when his sister pointed it out to him like this.

Bai Xi Xi watched the siblings banter and laughed. “It’s possible if you wanted to learn.” She smiled upon seeing Fu Ying’s eyes light up. “But it’s better if you learn the basics from your brother first. Later, let me look at how you play.”

Hearing this, the other Fu siblings began to express their desire to learn to play basketball as well. Fu Bao did not understand much, but seeing that his siblings wanted to participate in something fun, he could not resist raising his tiny hand as well.

“Alright, why don’t we meet again at the park on the weekend so that my aunt can teach you,” Bai Xiang spoke. “My brother and I can also teach you a few skills.”

His favorite ice cream shop was nearby the park. Bai Xiang thought that if he could come to the park every week, he could mooch some ice cream from his aunt.

Like his mother, Bai Xiang was also someone with a sweet tooth.

The kids started to discuss among themselves whether to meet again on the weekend. Perhaps it was because of their young age. It was really easy for them to become friends after meeting a few times.

Bai Xi Xi took her nephew to leave the park after watching them play at the playground with Fu Chen’s siblings. Of course, she did not forget to take home some ice cream for Fairy Jing Jing.

When they arrived home, Zhang Li Xue was in the garden with Bai Jing Jing.

The little girl saw her aunt and brothers and started to walk over to them with her short legs. Her steps were slow and unstable. Then, her elder brother carried her in his arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Jing Jing, I caught you!” Bai Xiang began to tease his little sister, causing her to laugh happily.

Zhang Li Xue looked at her children and smiled.

“Sister-in-law, I bought some ice cream,” Bai Xi Xi said as she lifted the paper bag in her hand. “I’ll go in and put some aside for Jing Jing. Then, you can have the rest.”

“Thank you, Xi Xi.” Zhang Li Xue watched as the teenage girl walked into the house. Then, she turned to her sons and asked, “Did you two have fun at the park?” She stretched her hand to pat Zhang Qi Lin’s head.

“Mmm... It was quite fun,” Zhang Qi Lin spoke. Seeing that his elder brother was playing with their little sister, Zhang Qi Lin leaned to his mother and spoke, “We met Aunt’s classmate and played with his siblings.”

“Oh?” Zhang Li Xue was interested to know about this matter.

“Aunt had a basketball match with her classmate,” Zhang Qi Lin continued to report. “Later, her classmate treated us to some ice cream.”

“Your Aunt’s classmate? Is he the same boy who played basketball with you the last time?”

“Un.” Zhang Qi Lin nodded. “It’s the same Big Brother.”

Zhang Qi Lin thought about his aunt’s interaction with Fu Chen again and thought that it would be better to talk to his mother about this.

The little boy was worried that his aunt would be cheated by some scumbag.

He did not know much about Fu Chen and was worried about this. He still remembered that his father had once told him that as a man, he and his brother will have to look after his mother, aunt, and his little sister.

Even his grandfather had said the same thing.

Therefore, Zhang Qi Lin took this matter seriously.

However, he did not want to tell this to his father, worried that his father would make trouble for his aunt. It was better for him to tell his mother instead.

Meanwhile, Zhang Li Xue was interested in this boy.

The last time she asked Bai Xi Xi about this boy, the teenage girl told her that he was a newly transferred student who happen to live nearby.

Xi Xi was always a quiet girl.

Zhang Li Xue began to wonder if her sister-in-law was now in a relationship.

She looked at her son again and spoke, “Qi Lin, you have to keep this matter a secret. Let’s not tell your father about this yet, alright?”

“Mmm... I know. Mom, don’t worry. I won’t tell my dad.”
