Love So Sweet

Chapter 40: Can They Swap?

On the day of her great-grandfather’s birthday celebration, Zhang Li Xue heard that her mother had given birth to her little sibling.

On that day, Zhang Li Xue went with her Aunt Yu Ying earlier to the hotel to help with the birthday celebration. Because her mother was heavily pregnant, she planned to head to the hospital a little later with her father.

Therefore, she did not know much about her mother giving birth at home.

Zhang Li Xue’s great-grandfather, Zhang Jing was an influential man in Y City. Because of that, there were a lot of people invited to attend his birthday party.

The Mu family was one of those who were invited to this birthday celebration.

The moment Zhang Li Xue saw Mu Zhen Yu, the little girl quickly ran over to him and dragged him to play with him. The two of them played with Mu Zhen Yu’s little brother for a while. Once the little boy was sleepy, the two friends started to head somewhere else.

Now that she had met a lot of friends at school, Zhang Li Xue was no longer afraid of making new friends.

.....

In a short time, Zhang Li Xue and Mu Zhen Yu had gathered a few kids to play hide and seek with them. Zhang Li Xue was hiding under a table when someone lifted the table cloth.

She had thought that Mu Zhen Yu had found her hiding place. To her surprise, the person who was standing in front of her was her Uncle Wei.

Her eyes went wide. Before Zhang Li Xue could ask her uncle to put the table cloth down, her Uncle had already stretched his arms to take her out.

“Uncle!” Zhang Li Xue gasped in surprise. “I’m playing hide and seek. I’m supposed to be hiding.” Her eyes scanned across the hall. Zhang Li Xue started to panic when she saw Mu Zhen Yun not far away from where she had hidden.

“Li Xue, come with me.” Wei Jun Hao spoke. He hesitated, wondering if he should tell the little girl that her mother had given birth. In the end, he did not say a word as he worry that the girl would panic. “Everyone is going to leave now.”

The little girl looked at her uncle in puzzlement. However, she did not move around and stayed obediently in his arms.

Wei Jun Hao carried her to the side room in the hotel. When they arrived, Zhang Li Xue noticed that almost everyone was gathered in the room.

Just in time, her grandfather, Zhang Xi entered the room anxiously.

From the adult’s conversation, Zhang Li Xue heard that her parents won’t be coming to the birthday celebration. Then, her great-grandfather told her that her Mommy had given birth to a baby brother.

Later, Zhang Li Xue was carried into the car along with her Aunt Yu Ying.

Noticing that everyone seemed to be agitated, Zhang Li Xue sat down quietly without causing any trouble.

The journey took a long time.

When they finally arrived at the destination, her Uncle Wei carried her in her arms and led everyone to the door. As they approached, her father’s friend, Uncle Qi Zheng was already waiting for everyone.

The adults seemed to be discussing something important. Then, Uncle Qi Zheng led everyone further to the maternity ward.

The door was pushed open and later, Zhang Li Xue saw her father come out of the room.

“Daddy!” Zhang Li Xue stretched his arms and asked her father to carry her.

After exchanging a few words, the adults finally moved to another place.

She was still not allowed to see her Mommy. Her Daddy said that her Mommy was too tired and now, they were going to see her little brother.

Zhang Li Xue had always liked Mu Zhen Yu’s little brother. Therefore, she was looking forward to having a younger sibling as well. She was very excited to meet her little brother.

In the future, she can play with her little brother instead.

The little girl was already thinking of teaching him to play basketball. Later, he could team up with her and she would have someone to practice with her at home.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the nursery.

A nurse brought out a baby in a swaddle to let everyone take a look.

Zhang Li Xue followed everyone’s gaze and saw the baby in her great-grandfather’s arms.

The baby’s skin was red and wrinkly. He was ugly!

She was in disbelief. Zhang Li Xue was unable to accept that this red and wrinkly baby was her little brother. It seemed that Mu Zhen Yu’s little brother was cuter than her little brother.

Can they swap?

“Daddy,” Zhang Li Xue whispered. “Is that my little brother?”

“Un.” Zhang Yu Han nodded. “Do you want to get a closer look?” He let her come closer to the baby to get a clear look at the baby.

The sweet smell of a newborn baby wafted to her nose. Zhang Li Xue stretched her hand and poked at the baby’s cheek. Her heart skipped a beat upon realizing that they felt very soft.

They were even softer than Mu Zhen Yu’s little brother’s.

Zhang Li Xue waited for the baby to respond. However, he did not make a move. “Daddy, why didn’t he open his eyes?”

“He’s too small. Right now, his job is to sleep and drink milk,” her father explained. “Later when he grows up, you can play with him, alright?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. After watching Mu Zhen Yu’s little brother, Zhang Li Xue had already known about this. Mu Zhen Yu had already explained to her a little bit while they were both babysitting the little boy.

“Daddy, my little brother isn’t as cute as Brother Zhen Yu’s baby brother,” Zhang Li Xue said. “His face is wrinkly.”

“The baby just came out. After a few days, he will grow cuter,” Her grandmother explained. “Li Xue is cute. This is your little brother, of course, he will grow as cute as you.”

Zhang Li Xue stared at the baby for a long time.

The little girl leaned over and kissed her baby brother on top of his head. Zhang Li Xue thought that the baby smelled really nice. She began to like her little brother a little more.

If her little brother will grow cute, then, she did not need to swap with Brother Zhen Yu’s little brother.
