Love So Sweet

126 His Chance to Impress Her

Zhang Li Xue stared at Bai Qi while keeping her eyes on the ball at the same time. Although Bai Qi might seem a little distracted, Zhang Li Xue found that it was not easy to steal the ball from him.

She lowered her stance and continued to block his path.

Zhang Li Xue knew that she had to act fast before Bai Qi would shoot the ball and gain his first point.

With a swift move, Zhang Li Xue stretched her hand and pushed the ball away from Bai Qi. The ball left his grip. Zhang Li Xue grabbed the ball quickly and dribbled it towards the hoop.

Hearing his footsteps approaching her fast, Zhang Li Xue made an abrupt stop, jumped, and made her throw. Her hand moved to push the ball to the hoop.

Then, she kept her eyes on the ball.

Her heart was beating fast as she watched it approach the hoop. The ball entered the hoop before it fell to the ground with a loud thud.

At the side of the court, Bai Xi Xi was applauding loudly. She always admired her brother. But now, it seemed that she had a new idol.

Pretty Sister’s shot was too beautiful.

.....

Zhang Li Xue heaved a breath of relief. Then, she turned around and flashed a smile. “Doctor Bai, I told you not to go easy on me. Come on. You were better the last time we had a match at Uncle Qi Zheng’s house.”

Bai Qi chuckled and lowered his gaze. “Don’t worry. We still have time.” He grabbed the basketball as they were about to start another round.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qi reminded himself that he could not lose his chance to impress her.

This was the sport that Zhang Li Xue had introduced to him. Later, he found that he liked basketball and had practiced a lot. He hoped that someday, he would return to her side and show her how much he had improved.

This was his chance.

The two of them started to face each other again.

This time, it as Zhang Li Xue who was controlling the basketball while Bai Qi was on defense.

After Zhang Li Xue had scored her first point, Bai Qi’s expression had grown serious.

He could not let Zhang Li Xue score another point, lest it would be too hard for him to chase after her.

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips as sweats started to trickle down her face.

Bai Qi’s long legs and arms made it hard for her to bypass his defense. Whenever she moved right, Bai Qi would follow. When she turned left, Bai Qi would appear within a second.

A light flashed in her eyes. Zhang Li Xue found a chance and finally get through his defense. However, a second later, she realized that Bai Qi had stolen the basketball from her.

Quickly, Zhang Li Xue turned to give Bai Qi a chase.

Just because she had scored the first point does not mean that she could lower her guard.

Zhang Li Xue reminded herself to stay diligent.

The man ran in the opposite direction and paused at the center. Then, he shot the ball and easily gained three points.

Zhang Li Xue chuckled.

It seemed that Bai Qi did not waste his time chasing after her point.

At this moment, Bai Qi was leading with one extra point.

Zhang Li Xue looked at the man and spoke, “Doctor Bai, not bad.”

The corner of his lips tilted up. “Thank you.” He always felt good whenever this little fairy was complimenting him.

His heart soared. Bai Qi wanted to show her more of what he could do.

Their games begin again.

The two have been running around the court for almost ten minutes. Their bodies started to sweat profusely. Each time one of them managed to score a point, their expression would turn serious.

Zhang Li Xue could not hide her excitement.

Facing Bai Qi in this match was very exciting. His skills amaze her. Because of this, the urge to win against him heightened as well.

The last time, Bai Qi had mentioned how he had almost gone professional. However, because he chose to become a doctor, he could only let this sport be something that he played whenever he was free.

Playing against someone who almost plays a professional player was definitely different.

Zhang Li Xue wiped the sweats on her face with her arms. Her chest heaved up and down as she tried to control her breathing. She continued to keep her eyes on the ball as she was defending against Bai Qi.

Seeing that Bai Qi was pulling some tricks to bypass her defense, Zhang Li Xue quickly blocked him again and stole the ball from him.

Time was ticking and she did not hesitate to dribble the ball heading to the hoop on the other side.

However, before she could find her chance to shoot, Bai Qi appeared and blocked her path. Without wasting his time, Bai Qi quickly found a way to steal the ball from her.

After playing against Bai Qi for a few minutes, Zhang Li Xue understood a bit of his habit.

Before Bai Qi could steal the ball from her, Zhang Li Xue changed her direction. Each time that she tried to find an opening, Bai Qi would stop her.

Just then, Zhang Li Xue noticed that Bai Qi was moving closer to her again.

Her back was against his body.

They were too close that she could hear his breathing against her ear.

Her eyes widened, finding that their position was a bit uncomfortable. Zhang Li Xue turned her head sideways, wanting to check on her opponent.

At the same time, Bai Qi stretched his long arms from behind her in his attempt to steal the ball.

They were moving at the same time and just like that, Bai Qi’s lips were touching Zhang Li Xue’s cheek.

His wet lips sent a jolt through her body. The two of them froze when they realized what had happened.
