Love So Sweet

Half an hour later, Zhang Li Xue walked out of the locker room with her gym bag in her hand. When she stepped out, Zhang Li Xue found that Bai Qi was waiting for her outside the room.

He was leaning half of his body against the wall as he played with his phone.

When he heard her movement, Bai Qi looked up and flashed her a smile. “You’re done?”

“Uh-huh.” From where she stood, she could see Bai Xi Xi practicing the moves that she had taught her. Zhang Li Xue glanced at the time and spoke, “Should we go and have lunch?”

“Hungry?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. After playing a tiring match against Bai Qi, her stomach began to ask for food to replenish the energy she used earlier.

“Alright. Let’s go and get Xi Xi.” He naturally did not have any objection. Moreover, he could not allow the two girls to starve for a long time.

Bai Qi helped to take the gym bag from his girlfriend before turning to return to his little sister’s side.

.....

However, before he could take another step, Zhang Li Xue tugged at his arms lightly, forcing him to stop. Then, her soft lips landed on his cheek.

When Bai Qi looked at Zhang Li Xue again, the girl had a playful smile on her face.

“Your reward.”

It did not take him a long time to remember what he had requested before his little sister came to steal his girlfriend away from him.

Bai Qi laughed. Seeing that his little sister was not looking their way, Bai Qi leaned over and gave Zhang Li Xue a peck on her lips a few times. Then, with a sigh, he had to restrain himself from kissing her again. Bai Qi flashed her a smile and held her hand. “Let’s go.”

The couple walked together while holding hands. It was only after they reached Bai Xi Xi’s side that they retracted their hands.

“Xi Xi, let’s go.”

Bai Xi Xi picked up the basketball and turned to the couple. Seeing that they were walking side by side, made her think that there was something strange about them again.

....

After having their lunch, the three of them decided to take a walk at the mall and buy a few things that Bai Xi Xi might need.

Seeing the hesitant look on Bai Qi’s face as he picked and chose a few things for his sister, Zhang Li Xue decided to give him a hand.

In the end, Bai Qi had to sit at the side while watching his little sister and girlfriend shop happily together. Looking at them made him feel as if he was the third wheel around.

Still, he appreciated having Zhang Li Xue around to help him.

Buying some clothes for Bai Xi Xi was getting harder now that she had grown up. In the future, he might need her to help him even more.

Perhaps, Bai Xi Xi was too tired after playing around the whole day. Five minutes after she sat in the car, the girl had fallen asleep.

As the car stopped at the red light, Bai Qi glanced at the rear mirror and sighed helplessly. Then, he glanced at his girlfriend and held her hand. Now that his sister was asleep, Bai Qi could hold his girlfriend’s hand openly.

Their gazes met and Bai Qi raised her hand and pressed his lips on the back of her hand.

“Xi Xi is asleep,” Bai Qi spoke in a whisper. “Are you heading back after this?”

Zhang Li Xue glanced at the time. It seemed that it was still too early for her to go back. Moreover, she also wanted to stay with Bai Qi a little longer. They have just started to date and there was this urge to stick close to her boyfriend all the time.

“I could stay around and wait for Xi Xi to wake up.” Zhang Li Xue stared at the handsome man in front of her and smiled. “Let’s have dinner together.”

Her mother knew that she was now seeing someone and would be returning home for dinner.

A light flashed in his eyes and Bai Qi let out a chuckle. Noticing that the red light had turned green, Bai Qi kissed his girlfriend’s hand one more time before driving off.

When they reach home, Bai Xi Xi was still asleep.

Bai Qi tried to wake her up, but the little girl continued to sleep soundly. Bai Xi Xi was too tired as it has been a while since she go out and play. In the end, Bai Qi had no choice but to carry the girl on his back and bring her upstairs.

Zhang Li Xue watched as Bai Qi climb up the stairs with Bai Xi Xi with worry.

It would be convenient if his apartment had elevator services. However, previously, Bai Qi’s financial state could only allow him to stay in this shabby-looking apartment.

This place was within his budget and it was very close to the hospital.

By the time they reached the apartment, Zhang Li Xue could notice the beads of sweat on his face. She quickly helped him with the door and Bai Qi quickly sent his sister to her bedroom.

After tucking his little sister in bed, Bai Qi walked out and found that his girlfriend was sorting the shopping bags on the table.

Bai Qi crept behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

When the girl turned around to look at him, Bai Qi leaned over to peck at her lips.

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Xi Xi’s closed door before turning to face Bai Qi. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she buried her face in his chest.

The faint scent of that familiar disinfectant wafted to her nose. Zhang Li Xue thought that Bai Qi had probably spent too much time at the hospital that he started to have this scent on him as well.

“Li Xue...”

“Hmm?”

“I’m sorry.” Bai Qi planted a kiss on top of her head. “Next time, let’s go out with just the two of us.”

Zhang Li Xue raised her head and laughed. “Alright.”
