Love So Sweet

181 Her Plan Backfired

Bai Qi knew that he had arranged to meet Zhang Li Xue at his apartment. However, when he saw her with his little sister in the living room, Bai Qi was too stunned to move.

The two girls raised their heads simultaneously to look at him. It gave him this feeling that having the people he loved waiting for him at home.

Suddenly, the small house he lived in had become warmer.

Although his apartment was tiny, it would be enough if he could stay together with the people he cared about.

“Brother Bai Qi, you’re back!” Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up when she saw her brother.

Bai Qi shifted his gaze to his sister and smiled. “Mmm... Have you been studying?”

“Un. Pretty Sister taught me to do some questions that I could not answer. Brother, Pretty Sister is very smart and her teaching was a lot easier to understand.”

His lips turned into a smile.

When Bai Qi turned to Zhang Li Xue again, he suddenly recalled the day this girl had appeared at his home wearing the new school uniform.

.....

Zhang Li Xue was a year younger than him, but she went to school earlier because she was too smart.

If his family did not move away to S Country, perhaps the two of them would grow up together. It was possible that the two of them would be going to school together and playing basketball...

Bai Qi forced himself to stop thinking of the past.

“Have you waited for a long time?” Bai Qi spoke as he looked at Zhang Li Xue. I’m sorry, there was an emergency patient.”

He was ready to clock off when someone announced that the emergency department was short of staff and they needed a few doctors over to help. An accident occurred on the highway and there were several victims.

Since he was quite free, Bai Qi decided to go over and help.

Although he had explained his situation to her a while ago, Bai Qi was still worried that his little fairy would be angry. No one liked the feeling of waiting for a long time.

“It’s alright.” Zhang Li Xue waved her hand. “Saving life is much more important.” She turned to Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “Besides, I liked spending time with Xi Xi.”

While teaching Bai Xi Xi some mathematics, Zhang Li Xue took her time to dig out some matters about Bai Qi.

From their conversation, Zhang Li Xue found out that Bai Qi had never dated anyone before.

Zhang Li Xue thought that it was also possible. After all, the young doctor was too busy raising his little sister. Where would he have time to date?

Although that was very unfortunate for Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue was happy with this news.

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes turned to crescent. She held Zhang Li Xue’s hand tightly as if to tell her that she too liked spending her time with her Pretty Sister.

“Do you still want to go out? Or... I can prepare something really quick.”

“Let’s just go out and grab something.” Zhang Li Xue remembered that this man had just gotten off work. She did not want him to tire himself with cooking a meal.

Bai Xi Xi looked at her brother again. “Brother Bai Qi, let’s go and eat some noodles.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed, knowing just how much this little girl liked to eat noodles. “Un. I remember that there’s a good noodle restaurant nearby.”

“Then... Wait here for a while. I will go and put down my things first,” Bai Qi said.

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Un. You go ahead.”

As Bai Qi walked into his room, his gaze caught the sight of Zhang Li Xue wearing the new slippers they had bought for her not too long ago.

His heart raced.

Who would have thought that seeing Zhang Li Xue wearing something that he had bought for her would make him this happy?

He could only hope that Bai Xi Xi would not tell her anything unnecessary. Otherwise, he would feel embarrassed.

Of course, he did not know that his little sister had already told his little fairy some things.

Bai Qi went into his room and changed into a new set of clothes before he come out again. Seeing the two ladies waiting for him made him smile.

After a brief discussion, the two of them decided to visit the noodle shop that Bai Xi Xi liked so much.

As they walked into the shop, Zhang Li Xue could not help but remember that she had run into Bai Qi at this shop with her brother months ago.

It felt as if it has been too long ago. At that time, she was still unaware that Bai Qi had such an adorable little sister.

The trio sat down and ordered some noodles.

Fortunately, they did not have to wait for a long time before their food arrived.

Bai Xi Xi talked about her school before telling her brother about the method that her Pretty Sister had taught her earlier.

Zhang Li Xue ate her noodle silently as she peeked at the siblings.

She wanted to chat with Bai Qi too.

Her plan backfired.

She had thought that using Bai Xi Xi to ask Bai Qi out was a good idea. However, she realized that with the little girl around, flirting with Doctor Bai would be impossible.

If Bai Xi Xi knew that she could be so shameless, perhaps the little girl would no longer want to call her Pretty Sister.

Zhang Li Xue made a note to herself that next time, she has to ask Bai Qi out alone. Then, Bai Qi would have no other choice but to look at her.

She loved Bai Xi Xi, but she wanted to spend her time with Bai Xi Xi’s brother a lot more. Otherwise, she won’t be making her progress and they can only stick to being friends forever. In order to pursue the young doctor, Zhang Li Xue needed to be brave.

“Pretty Sister, when are you going to teach me to play basketball again?”

The question snapped her out of her trance. Zhang Li Xue turned to Bai Qi and smiled. “That... we will have to let your brother decide.”

Bai Qi let out a cough.

Bai Xi Xi needed to go to school and Zhang Li Xue had to go to work. If they wanted to go out together, he have to consider their time as well.

“Mmm... I Should have a weekend day off next week,” Bai Qi said. “Perhaps we can go and practice basketball together?”
