Love So Sweet

Bai Qi suggested they take a quick break and bought Zhang Li Xue at the milk tea shop. He ordered Zhang Li Xue’s favorite drink before walking over to their table with their drinks.

Zhang Li Xue took a sip from the mango-flavored milk tea and all of the sudden, her eyes lit up. The milk tea was refreshing and sweet, just the way she liked it.

“Is it good?”

Zhang Li Xue turned to her boyfriend and nodded. “Un. It’s really good.” She pushed the cup to Bai Qi and spoke, “Have a taste.”

Bai Qi lowered his head and took a sip from the straw.

Seeing his lips touching the same spot where she had drank earlier turned her face redder.

But, why would she be embarrassed? It wasn’t as if they never kissed before...

Subconsciously, her gaze fell on Bai Qi’s lips. She suddenly had the urge to kiss him.

.....

The chime from her phone snapped her out of her thought. Zhang Li Xue looked into her purse and took out her phone.

She read the message from her aunt and smiled.

“What is it?”

Zhang Li Xue leaned over to share with him what her Aunt Yu Ying had sent to her.

The husband and wife went to the beach to eat some seafood dishes. Her Aunt was showing her the big prawns on the plate. However, as the place was quite far, her Aunt Yu Ying was informing her that they would return to the hotel quite late.

Zhang Li Xue exchanged a few messages with her aunt and assured her that everything was alright. She then told her aunt about their plan for tomorrow.

Her aunt did not say too much. She only reminded her niece to be careful and to tell her if anything happened.

When she finally ended her conversation with her aunt, Zhang Li Xue realized that she had finished drinking all her milk tea.

“Should I buy another cup?” Bai Qi asked. He knew that his girlfriend especially loved sweet stuff.

“It’s fine.” Zhang Li Xue waved her hand. “Otherwise, I won’t have an appetite to eat for dinner. Let’s just head back to the hotel and order room service.”

“Are you tired?”

Zhang Li Xue made her puppy dog eyes and nodded. “A little bit.”

She went crazy shopping for souvenirs for everyone. They went from shop to shop. Fortunately, she had prepared herself that they were going to walk a lot and wore her flats. Otherwise, her feet might suffer more.

“Then, I’ll give you a foot massage while we had our meal later.”

Zhang Li Xue quickly agreed.

Carrying countless shopping bags, the two of them headed back to the hotel together.

Tomorrow, Bai Qi was going to visit his grandparents and parents at the graveyard. For that, they planned to wake up early in the morning.

Zhang Li Xue could not deny that she was a little anxious about heading to the place with Bai Qi. After all, they were his family members.

As they arrived at the hotel, the bellboy helped them with their shopping bags and sent them over to Zhang Li Xue’s room. Because of that, they decided to have their meal in her room.

The two of them ordered a few dishes from the menu and ate their dinner in the room.

The room was filled with noise from the television.

After the meal, Bai Qi looked at the time and decided to call his little sister to check on her. The two siblings chatted for a long time. Mostly, it was Bai Xi Xi who spoke about her day’s activity.

The little girl was living with the Zhang family. Each day, Li Qin Yao would accompany her with a new activity. Bai Xi Xi seemed to be enjoying her time over there and she had forgotten about her brother.

Zhang Li Xue did not disturb as the siblings chatted.

Seeing the shopping bags at the corner, Zhang Li Xue decided to arrange everything so that it would be easier for her to give the souvenirs to everyone later on.

Some of the shopping bags belonged to Bai Qi and some were hers. Zhang Li Xue swiftly separated them so that it would be convenient for Bai Qi.

Suddenly, the space beside her sunk.

Zhang Li Xue turned and saw that her boyfriend was sitting beside her. Her lips turned into a smile. “What did Xi Xi tell you?”

“Mmm... she seemed to be enjoying her time with your mother.” Bai Qi chuckled. Then, she told his girlfriend what his sister had told him earlier.

“My mom enjoyed being around children,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I remember how she would prepare various activities for me and my brother.”

“I worried that Xi Xi would not want to return home with me after this.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. She watched as Bai Qi patted his lap and raised a brow. “What is it?”

Bai Qi chuckled. “Didn’t I say that I will give you a foot rub? Come on. Pretty Miss, please stretch out your legs.”

Zhang Li Xue was about to nod when she recalled another matter. “Hold on. I need to use the bathroom first.”

Before Bai Qi could say a word, Zhang Li Xue had already run over to the bathroom. She washed her foot thoroughly before walking over to Bai Qi again.

Just now, the two of them had walked around the city for a long time. As a girl, she still wanted to look the best in front of her boyfriend. She could not let him touch her dirty foot.

Bai Qi noticed that Zhang Li Xue has been washing her feet before she came to his side again and smiled. However, he did not say anything about it.

Once she sat down beside him, Bai Qi pulled her legs to his lap and started to rub her feet. After a few minutes, he looked at his girlfriend again and spoke, “Comfortable?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Well, it’s alright.” Seeing that Bai Qi had raised his brow, Zhang Li Xue could not help but laugh.

While giving her a massage, Bai Qi continued to tell his girlfriend about growing up in a different country. When he first began, his little fairy was looking at him with a pair of curious eyes. However, a few minutes after that, he noticed that something was wrong when Zhang Li Xue had not answered his question.

“Li Xue?” He leaned to look at her face and chuckled upon finding that his girlfriend was asleep. A helpless sigh escaped him. Bai Qi placed her legs down before pulling her into his embrace and kissing her forehead. “Goodnight.”
