102 Tasting the Food He Cooked
Bai Qi was cutting some vegetables in the kitchen when he heard the sound of his sister’s laughter. He raised his head and could see his sister and Zhang Li Xue in the living room.
The little fairy was helping his sister with her homework.
As he watched this scene, the corner of his lips could not help but turn up.
He quite liked watching the scene before him. However, seeing Zhang’s family princess in his living room made him feel awkward. Her presence was unsuitable with such a background.
Bai Qi lowered his head again as the thought came to his mind. Taking a deep breath, he began to continue working on the vegetables.
He should not make her wait.
Half an hour later, Bai Qi brought the food to the dining table and called the girls to wash their hands and eat.
Zhang Li Xue followed Bai Xi Xi to wash her hands before she went to the dining room.
The moment she walked in, the smell of delicious food wafted through her nose. Actually, Zhang Li Xue could smell the food while she was in the living room.
.....
She was curious to know what Bai Qi had prepared, but she did not dare to enter the kitchen carelessly.
Now that she stood in front of the tale, Zhang Li Xue could see the three dishes and a soup on the table. Each of them looks comforting and delicious. Moreover... there was also a plate of chicken wings on the side.
The last time they went out to eat together, she might have mentioned her love for chicken wings.
It seemed that Doctor Bai had remembered her preferences.
Zhang Li Xue raised her head and caught Bai Qi smiling at her.
Her heart skipped a beat at this scene. Then, it continued to beat faster as Bai Qi walked over to her side.
Zhang Li Xue was wondering what the man would want to do when she saw him helping her to pull her chair.
“Miss Zhang, please, sit down.”
She snapped out of her trance and took a seat. As Bai Qi went over to help his sister next, Zhang Li Xue took a few deep breaths to calm down. Then, she secretly scolded herself.
Doctor Bai Qi is a gentleman. She should not think too much.
As everyone was seated, Bai Xi Xi quickly invited the Pretty Sister to try the food that her brother had cooked.
Zhang Li Xue looked at the chicken wings in her bowl with a complicated look in her eyes. Then, she heard the little girl speak to her.
“Pretty Sister, you have to try the chicken wings. The one that my brother made tasted delicious,” Bai Xi Xi said. “It’s comparable with the one you buy at the restaurant.”
The past few days, her brother seemed to love making chicken wings.
Bai Xi Xi had tried a lot of flavors. In the end, she told her brother that the soy garlic flavor her brother made tasted the best.
Seeing this dish on the table, Bai Xi Xi had quickly introduced it to the Pretty Sister.
She liked this sister and was thankful for her help. Bai Xi Xi hoped that she will be seeing this sister a lot. She thought that tempting her with food sounded like a good idea.
Under the siblings’ watchful eyes, Zhang Li Xue picked up the chicken wings and took a bite. Her eyes widened in surprise. Although the chicken wings were coated with the sauce, they were still very crispy.
“How is it?” Bai Xi Xi asked. “It’s good, right?”
Zhang Li Xue raised her head and saw that the siblings were waiting for her reaction. She swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled. “Un. You are right. The chicken wings are tasty.”
Bai Xi Xi laughed happily. “Then, Pretty Sister, you must eat a bit more.” She looked at the dishes on the table and picked up some vegetables. “Oh, right. Don’t forget to eat your vegetables as well. Brother Bai Qi said it is important to have a balanced diet.”
Her eyes stopped at the green vegetables.
Zhang Li Xue wanted to escape eating those vegetables. However, with Bai Xi Xi’s presence, she knew that she had to show a good example. Holding her breath, Zhang Li Xue took a bite of the vegetable and swallowed it quickly.
Across her, Bai Qi was watching as the girl ate the food he made with a smile on his face.
He had never thought that there would be a day when his little fairy would be sitting with him at the same table while tasting the food he cooked.
His heart felt more at ease upon noticing that Zhang Li Xue seemed to be enjoying the food he made.
The group of three continued to eat peacefully. The atmosphere between them was quite lively with Bai Xi Xi and Zhang Li Xue’s chattery voices. Their tinkle of laughter brought a warm feeling to Bai Qi’s heart.
After finishing their meal, Zhang Li Xue helped to carry the dishes to the kitchen. She offered to wash them as well, but both Bai Qi and his sister had forbidden her from doing the dishes.
Seeing that it was late, Zhang Li Xue decided that it was time to go home before her family would get worried.
Bai Qi saw her take her purse and walked over. “Miss Zhang, I’ll send you downstairs.”
“It’s alright.” Zhang Li Xue quickly declined his offer. “I can go on my own.”
“No. I have something to speak to you.”
Zhang Li Xue studied the young doctor’s face for a few seconds before agreeing.
“Xi Xi, I’m going downstairs for a while,” Bai Qi spoke to his sister. “You stay home, alright?”
The little girl nodded. “Brother Bai Qi, I know.”
His lips turned into a smile. “Don’t wait for me. I have my keys.”
After exchanging a few words with his sister, Bai Qi walked with Zhang Li Xue.
The stairs were a little narrow. Because of it, he could only let her walk in front while following her closely. His eyes fell on her slender neck before he quickly looked away.
Once they reached the ground floor, Zhang Li Xue turned around to look at Bai Qi again. “Doctor Bai, what is it that you wanted to tell me?”
