Love So Sweet

308 Do You Want to Come In?

The couple walked around the neighborhood for a while before Bai Qi suggested they head back to the hotel.

He noticed that Zhang Li Xue has been yawning a few times and thought that she should be tired. She had to wake up early morning and head to the airport. During the flight, Zhang Li Xue spent her time chatting with him instead of falling asleep.

On their taxi ride home to the hotel, Bai Qi could not help but notice how Zhang Li Xue has been struggling to keep her eyes open.

By the time they nearly arrived at the hotel, Zhang Li Xue was leaning her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed.

A helpless smile curled on his lips. He waited until the car was parked in front of the hotel’s entrance before he woke her up.

Zhang Li Xue frowned, feeling slightly unhappy that someone was disturbing her sleep. But a few seconds later, the frown disappeared and she was staring at Bai Qi with a dazed look on her face.

Why is there a handsome man in front of her?

Bai QI chuckled at the way his girlfriend was looking at him. “We’ve arrived. Let’s go in and rest, alright?” Seeing that the person beside him had not replied, Bai Qi then raised a brow. “Would you like me to carry you?”

Zhang Li Xue slowly moved away from him.

.....

She realized where they are and finally alighted the car.

An amused smile curled on his lips. Bai Qi watched as she scurried away before following her. He held her hand and led her into the building.

“Still sleepy?”

Because he was leaning over to whisper, Zhang Li Xue thought that his voice sounded a little deep. It made her heart itch.

Zhang Li Xue lowered her head but did not answer.

The two of them entered the elevator and alighted on their floor.

Bai Qi walked his girlfriend to the door and turned around. He was about to tell her that he was going to pick her up before dinner. However, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat when he heard Zhang Li Xue’s words.

“Do you want to come in?”

Zhang Li Xue noticed Bai QIi’s mood and did not want to leave him alone. She wanted to be where she can see him. Then, she can coax him if he was upset.

His eyes darkened. Bai Qi stared at his girlfriend for a long time, but he did not say a word.

“I don’t mean anything.” Zhang Li Xue quickly retracted her gaze. She seemed to realize that her words might make her boyfriend think too much. “Let’s just hang out together. Then, we can leave together when it’s time for dinner.”

It was not the first time that they had spent their time alone together. They should not feel awkward about it.

The corner of his lips tilted up. “Alright.”

Hearing his answer suddenly made her feel anxious. However, Zhang Li Xue quickly suppressed that thought.

She was the one who had invited him to hang out with her. Why was she feeling anxious at this time?

Pushing back her hair behind her ears, Zhang Li Xue took out her keys and unlocked the door. She walked into the room and stood at the side to let Bai Qi in.

Zhang Li Xue walked over to the sofa before turning again. “Would you like to have a drink?”

The anxious look on his girlfriend’s face made him smile. “Alright.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved a breath of relief. “Then. Have a seat first.” She stretched her hand and grabbed the drinking bottle. Zhang Li Xue tried to unscrew the lid a few times but failed.

Someone snatched the bottle away from her.

Zhang Li Xue looked up and saw that Bai Qi unscrewed the bottle easily.

Her gaze was stuck on his arms for a few seconds and her mind was running wild.

“Is this for me?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “It’s for you.

Bai Qi stretched his hand and patted her head. “Thank you.”

Zhang Li Xue watched as Bai Qi drank the water. Her gaze shifted to his bobbing throat for a few seconds longer.

Suddenly, Zhang Li Xue was regretting her decision to let Bai Qi enter her room. She was letting him seduce her like this...

She quickly retracted her gaze and walked over to the living area again to turn on the television. Her heart gradually calmed as the noise filled the room.

Zhang Li Xue sat down and reminded herself to calm down. They were just going to sit there and hang out as they had previously done in the past.

Bai Qi sat down beside her, causing the sofa beside her to shift. The two of them watched the television in silence for a long time.

“What are you watching?” Bai Qi asked.

“Ah?” Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Qi before turning to the television again.

On the screen, the second female lead was begging the male lead to stay with her. This seemed like the type of drama that Fang Su Jin loved to watch.

“If you don’t like it, I can change,” Zhang Li Xue said. She then switched the channel to a singing competition.

Bai Qi continued to watch his girlfriend and smiled. He could not help but feel that this little fairy was really adorable. He squatted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Her head was leaning on his chest and her heartbeat accelerated.

Zhang Li Xue raised her head slowly to peek at Bai Qi. “You... What are you doing?”

“Li Xue.”

“Un.”

“Don’t be anxious,” Bai Qi spoke.

“I’m not anxious.”

Bai Qi smiled. He wrapped her arms around her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her head. “You’re tired. Go and get some sleep first. I’ll wake you up when it was time for dinner, alright?”

His hand patted her back softly as if he was trying to comfort her.

Zhang Li Xue snuggled closer into his embrace. “Oh.” She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath. The young man’s scent quickly made her feel more at ease.

Bai Qi leaned over to kiss her head again. “Sleep.”

Perhaps, Zhang Li Xue was indeed a little tired. With Bai Qi by her side, she quickly fell asleep.

Bai Qi grabbed the remote and turned the television off. Then, he looked at the little cat in his arms with an awkward look on his face.

It seemed that he will have to bear this torture for a few hours.
