Love So Sweet

Chapter 177

177 His Little Fairy was Flirting with Him?

Bai Qi tried to keep his calm before he excused himself and return to his office.

Although he was curious to know why Zhang Li Xue came to the hospital this time, Bai Qi was happier that he would be able to meet her.

It seemed that his tiredness had gradually faded away when he knew that his little fairy was in his office.

As he reached his room, Bai Qi stopped to take a deep breath. Then, he pushed the door open and saw that Zhang Li Xue was standing beside the window.

She turned around slowly and smiled at him. The sunlight shone on her face. Bai Qi thought that his little fairy looked like an ethereal being.

The young doctor was too stunned to move. He stood at the door, looking like an idiot.

Fortunately for him. Zhang Li Xue did not seem to notice what happened. At this time, she was too anxious about Bai Qi’s reaction when he saw her in his office.

Being stared at by the person she liked made her feel a little shy.

Zhang Li Xue pushed a few strands of hair behind her ears and broke the silence. “Hi.”

.....

Her voice finally snapped him out of his trance. “Hi.”

“I’m sorry, I came over unannounced again.” Zhang Li Xue shot him an awkward smile. “I hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course, I don’t, ” Bai Qi spoke quickly.

He hoped that Zhang Li Xue would often visit him at the hospital unannounced again. He quite liked the surprise.

“Nurse Tian said that you were in surgery and asked me to wait for you in the office,” Zhang Li Xue explained her presence.

“It’s alright. You can come in whenever you want,” Bai Qi said. He steadied himself as he walked into his office and closed the door behind him. He headed to his study and took a seat. Then, he motioned for Zhang Li Xue to sit down across from him. “Why are you at the hospital?”

“Mmm... I come to see you.”

His heart skipped a beat at her answer.

He did not know whether this was the real reason that Zhang Li Xue had appeared in front of him. But, he did not care much about it.

Bai Qi was simply happy that Zhang Li Xue had appeared in front of him.

Zhang Li Xue raised the takeaway food in her hand. “I bought you a little something to eat.”

Bai Qi shifted his gaze towards the paper bag in Zhang Li Xue’s hand. Just in time, his stomach made a loud growl, making him stunned. Bai Qi’s face gradually turned red. He let out a cough and tried to explain, “I was in the operational theatre just now and haven’t got the time to have a meal.”

Zhang Li Xue put the food on the table before taking a seat in front of him. “Then, I come at the right time.”

Bai Qi could not agree more. His little fairy had always appeared before him at the right time. He liked her presence and hoped that she would stay forever.

The smile on her lips widened. “You should eat now. It’s not much, but it will help to pad your stomach. It’s not good to stay hungry.”

Bai Qi took out the food from the paper bag and unwrapped the sandwiches. His movement halted and he looked at the girl again. “What about you?”

“I already had my lunch before coming over.”

Bai Qi nodded. He recalled that Doctor Qi Zheng had once mentioned that his little fairy liked to skip her meal. Sometimes, she would get too busy and forget to eat.

Because of that, they had thought that she was having a gastric problem a few months ago when in fact, it was appendicitis.

Under Zhang Li Xue’s gaze, Bai Qi took a bit at the sandwich and chewed it properly.

Perhaps, it was because he was hungry, or perhaps it was because of his little fairy who had bought these sandwiches. Or perhaps, it was both. Bai Qi thought that this might be the best sandwich he had ever tasted.

Without realizing it, he had eaten half of his sandwiches in a short time. Bai Qi raised his head again and saw that the little fairy was still watching him. The smile on her face made him suddenly feel that this situation was a little awkward.

Bai Qi cleared his throat and asked, “Li Xue, why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?”

He was unable to believe that Zhang Li Xue had come to the hospital specially to see him.

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “I already told you that I came to see you.” She tilted her head to one side and spoke, “It couldn’t be that I can’t look for you unless if I had something?”

His heart was beating erratically.

Why does it feel as if his little fairy was flirting with him?

Bai Qi quickly pushed that thought away.

He did not dare to entertain that thought.

It was best if he did not dream too much. Otherwise, he would be disappointed.

Bai Qi lowered his gaze again. “Of course, you can. Li Xue, you can come over and look for me whenever you want.”

His answer made her feel a little giddy.

Zhang Li Xue decided that she should come over to find Bai Qi again whenever she was free. Perhaps this would help them to cultivate some feelings between them. But she has to be clever and avoided her Uncle Qi Zheng.

If her uncle learned that she often visited the hospital to find Bai Qi, perhaps, he would tell her father. Then, her father would be in his overprotective mode.

Tricking her little brother was hard enough.

Zhang Li Xue did not want her father to make things difficult for Bai Qi.

“Since you don’t mind it, then, I will come over whenever I’m free. Is that alright?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “I promise I won’t be disturbing your work. It’s enough if I can hang out with you briefly.”

Bai Qi was swallowing his food. Her words made it feel as if the food got stuck in his throat. “Of course, you can. I already said that you should find me whenever you stop by at the hospital.”
