Love So Sweet

She poured herself a glass of drink and rummaged through Bai Qi’s snacks that he kept in his drawer. Her eyes lit up when she saw that the drawer was full of snacks. It was lunch hour. But before she parted with her brother and friend, Zhang Li Xue did not have time to eat her lunch.

This time, she planned to invite her husband to eat lunch together. To pad her stomach, she can only find something light to eat.

Zhang Li Xue stood in her wheelchair and hopped around the room with the wall as her support. Then, she sat on his bed.

A faint sigh escaped her as sitting too long in the wheelchair was making her butt sore. She

Then, while waiting for Bai Qi to return, Zhang Li Xue looked at the wedding checklist on her phone that she had made not too long ago.

Time is running and it seemed as if there was not enough time for her to prepare for the wedding.

Just then, the door was pushed open and the person that she was waiting for appeared.

Zhang Li Xue raised her head and smiled brightly when she saw the person she was missing.

.....

Last night, Bai Qi had not gone home as he was still on duty. Therefore, she was missing him a little more. Seeing his face was enough to make her heart leap with joy.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you are coming over?” Bai Qi said. He walked into the room and closed the door behind him. Once he reached her side, Bai Qi leaned over and kissed his wife on the lips.

The intended peck turned into something a little deeper.

Bai Qi thought that he would never get tired of kissing his wife.

“Aren’t you supposed to go out with your friend for a fitting?” Bai Qi asked as he took a step back. His gaze fell on the energy bar’s packaging in his wife’s hand.

Bai Qi knew that whenever his wife was visiting him at the hospital, she would often find something to snack on. Because of that, Bai Qi would ensure that his drawer would always full of snacks.

He did not want to let his wife go hungry while she was waiting for him in his office.

“Mmm... Yi Hai arrive this morning and volunteered to drive me and Su Jin to the bridal shop,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I thought that it was pitiful that the two of them had not seen each other for a while. That’s why I let them go to have a date.”

Bai Qi laughed. He bopped his wife’s nose and spoke, “So generous?”

He knew that his wife would often create trouble for her brother. The siblings were very close. However, they both liked to annoy each other once in a while.

Knowing Zhang Li Xue, Bai Qi thought that she would create trouble for Zhang Yi Hai rather than letting him have a date with Fang Su Jin. Surprisingly, his wife had let the couple leave early and go on a date.

“You don’t know how the two of them continued to sprinkle dog food when you were not around. I suddenly found that I am missing you a lot.” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh. She held Bai Qi’s hand and swung it a little bit. “It’s better to be here with you than watching them both together. Will you still have to be on call tonight?”

“No.” He leaned in to peck on her cheek. “I can go home and accompany you tonight.”

“That’s good.” Zhang Li Xue smiled brightly. “Then, I can stay here and wait for you until it is time for you to clock out.”

Bai Qi heaved a helpless sigh. He did not want to let his wife stay at the hospital for a long time. However, at the same time, Bai Qi enjoyed having his wife around. Thinking that it was not easy for his wife to visit him, Bai Qi decided to let her wait.

“How is your fitting? Is everything going well?” Bai Qi spoke. He sat on the bed and leaned his head on Zhang Li Xue’s lap.

The moment his head touched her lap, Zhang Li Xue ran her fingers through his hair, giving him a massage.

Bai Qi closed his eyes briefly to enjoy his wife’s soft touch. Although her massage was not that powerful, Bai Qi still liked his wife’s massage very much.

“It was fine,” Zhang Li Xue said. “There will be another fitting next month and the final one is a day before the wedding.”

He opened his eyes again to look at his wife. “Are you tired?”

Bai Qi was often busy with work and did not have a lot of time to make the preparation for their wedding. He could only depend on his wife and mother-in-law to help him with the preparation.

“It’s alright. I enjoyed doing this very much. ” Zhang Li Xue smiled. “Have you had your lunch yet?”

“No.” Bai Qi heaved a sigh. “I was a little busy today.” Just now, a patient’s family wanted to discuss with him the patient’s upcoming operation. The family had a lot of questions and he had to answer them carefully.

Bai Qi wanted the family to know that the surgery was not dangerous and that they could be more at ease.

“Then, Doctor Bai, would you like to go on lunch with me?”

Bai Qi sat up quickly. “What do you want to eat?” He observed his wife for a while and made a guess. “The cafeteria’s chicken wings?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded happily. It seemed as if it has been a while since the last time she ate the cafeteria’s chicken wings.

“Then, I shall treat you to eat chicken wings today.”

Zhang Li Xue paused. “But if I eat those chicken wings, will I gain weight again? No. I have to be fit to wear my wedding dress.” She was determined to look pretty at her wedding ceremony.

“Let’s not worry about that now. I Will accompany you to exercise tonight.”

It did not take long for Zhang Li Xue to understand Bai Qi’s meaning. Her cheek turned redder as she scold him. “You hooligan.”

Bai Qi laughed. He stood up and touched Zhang Li Xue’s head. “Wait here for while. I will go and speak with Nurse Tian for a bit.”
