Love So Sweet

Chapter 108

108 It is Him!

After taking a quick shower and cleaning up, the group of six went over to the hotel’s restaurant to have their dinner. The weather was great and they decided to take sit at the poolside.

As they stepped out, the scent of barbecued food filled their nose.

Zhang Li Xue dragged Fang Su Jin to look at the barbecued seafood. Then, the two of them walked around the buffet table and chose a few they might like.

Noticing that the hotel was serving her favorite chicken wings in different flavors, Zhang Li Xue could not stop taking a few pieces as well.

Seeing how her friend was acting made Fang Su Jin laugh. It felt as if Zhang Li Xue had not changed very much from the first time they met at kindergarten.

The girl might have grown taller and prettier. But she still liked chicken wings and basketball a lot.

After picking up their food, Zhang Li Xue returned to the table and watched as her brother took a few pieces of chicken wings off her plate and replaced it with some stirred fry vegetables.

“Sister, remember to eat

Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath, deciding that she shouldn’t fight with this annoying brother. Anyway, if she needed more chicken wings, she could always walk to the buffet area and took more.

.....

As the group was chatting about their plan for tomorrow morning, Zhang Li Xue busied herself with her food. She took a bite at the soy garlic chicken wings and sighed in disappointment.

It seemed that these chicken wings were not as delicious as the ones that Doctor Bai had made. It was not as crispy and the garlic was too overpowering.

Her movement halted as those thoughts crossed her head.

Why was she thinking of that person again?

Zhang Li Xue shook her head and ate the wings, hoping that it would make her forget about a certain person. She raised her head and looked at Wei Zi Kai who was sitting across from her.

However, just as she looked up, her eyes seemed to have caught the sight of someone familiar. Even though she could only see his back view, Zhang Li Xue was very sure that she know this person.

Could it be that she has been thinking about Doctor Bai too much that she had started to imagine things?

The food was stuck in her throat, causing her to cough violently. But Zhang Li Xue refused to look away.

“Li Xue, are you alright?” Fang Su Jin inched closer with a glass of water in her hand. “Here, drink a little bit.”

At the side, Zhang Yi Hai was staring at his sister in displeased. He had reminded her to eat slowly, but the moment she saw chicken wings, his sister could eat as if she hadn’t seen food for days.

Zhang Li Xue lowered her head and drank the water. When she looked up again, she almost spew the water back.

It is him!

Zhang Li Xue thought that she was imagining things. However, the person in front of her turned out to be Doctor Bai! But, what was he doing here?

The man behind Wei Zi Kai turned around and met her gaze. His brow frowned slightly when he saw her. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Bai Qi was looking for his mentor, who told him to come over and join him for dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.

When he could not find him inside, Bai Qi decided to look for him around the poolside.

It was then that he heard the familiar name.

Li Xue.

Bai Qi did not expect that once he turned around, he would see the girl that he has been missing for a week. It has been a while since he last saw her and Bai Qi could not help but stare at her for a while longer.

A tap on his shoulder snapped him out of his trance.

“Bai Qi, sorry,” Qi Zheng flashed a smile. “I stopped by the restroom for a while. My seat is inside. Let’s go in.”

“Uncle Qi Zheng?”

It was Zhang Yi Hai who had recognized him. He heard the familiar voice and looked up. Zhang Yi Hai was not expecting that he would see his uncle at this place.

The moment Zhang Yi Hai spoke his name, the triplets turned around as well. Seeing the face they were familiar with, the triplets stood up and greeted him politely. “Uncle Qi Zheng, hello”

Qi Zheng was surprised to see the group around the table. He walked closer with an amused look in his eyes. “You guys... what are you doing here?’

“Uncle Qi Zheng,” Wei Zi Qian spoke, “It is our summer vacation. We thought it would be fun to take a short break by the beach.”

Qi Zheng nodded. “It’s good to see you all here. If only I know, I would let your Auntie Yun bring the kids to join you as well.” He looked around before setting his gaze on Zhang Yi Hai. “Your parents were not around?”

Zhang Yi Hai shook his head. “No. It’s just us.”

“Uncle Qi Zheng, why are you here as well?” Wei Zi Ming asked.

“There was a three days conference and the hospital decided to send me and my student,” Qi Zheng said.

“We saw a group of people around the hotel earlier,” Wei Zi Ming said. “So, those people were here for a conference?”

“Uh-huh.” Qi Zheng nodded. He stood up straight and patted Bai Qi on his back. “That’s right. Let me introduce you to my student. This is Doctor Bai Qi.”

The triplets had met the young doctor previously when their sister was hospitalized due to appendicitis. They stood up and greeted the doctor politely. “Hello, Doctor Bai, we meet again.”

Bai Qi shifted his gaze from his little fairy and nodded. “Hello.”

Qi Zheng raised a brow. “You guys were familiar with each other?”

“Mmm...” Wei Zi Ming nodded. “We met him previously when Sister Li Xue was hospitalized.”

It was then that Qi Zheng recalled that incident. “That’s right. I’ve almost forgotten about it. You see. I’m getting old.”

“Uncle Qi Zheng, are you and your student here to have dinner as well?” Wei Zi Ming asked. “Why don’t you join us?”

Qi Zheng looked at the kids before turning to Bai Qi again. “What do you think? Bai Qi, would you mind?”

At the side, Zhang Li Xue continued to lower her head as she waited for his answer.
