Love So Sweet

Chapter 219

219 Are You Not Worried?

After she clocked off work, Zhang Li Xue went to look for Bai Qi as usual.

This time, since Bai Qi was not going to work a night shift, Zhang Li Xue did not have to head upstairs and look for him. Instead, they agreed to meet in the parking lot.

Once she arrived, Zhang Li Xue found a parking spot and texted Bai Qi her location.

Her eyes turned into crescents and her lips curled into a smile just at the thought of going on a date with Bai Qi.

Just as she was about to put down her phone, Zhang Li Xue saw a familiar silhouette walking not too far away from where she was parked.

A loud gasp escaped her.

Instinctively, Zhang Li Xue quickly hide before her Uncle Qi Zheng would be able to see her. Then, slowly, she peeked at him.

Zhang Li Xue was not expecting that her uncle was just about to head home at this time.

She stayed in her car silently. Once she saw her Uncle Qi Zheng drive away, only then did she finally let out a breath of relief.

.....

A while later, Bai Qi came out of the hospital building and slid into the passenger’s seat. He leaned over and pecked at her cheek.

When he pulled away, Zhang Li Xue did not miss the affectionate look in his eyes. Swiftly, Zhang Li Xue looked away shyly.

“Have you been waiting for long?”

Zhang Li Xue shook her head. “Not that long.” She recalled seeing her uncle earlier and spoke, “That’s right. I almost ran into Uncle Qi Zheng earlier. Fortunately, he did not see me.”

“Mmm... Doctor Qi had a meeting with the higher-ups. It ended quite late.” Bai Qi watched the girl beside him and smiled. “Are you worried that he would know that we are seeing each other?” He reached to touch her hand and started to play with her fingers.

“I just didn’t know how I should explain it to him,” Zhang Li Xue said.

Qi Zheng and her father were best buddies. Zhang Li Xue was worried that once her Uncle Qi Zheng know, he would tell her father.

She often asked whether Bai Qi would be ready to meet her family members. However, Zhang Li Xue herself was not ready for that day to come.

It was the first time that she has been in a relationship.

She was too shy about it and worried that the others would tease her.

Moreover, her Uncle Wei Jun Hao had often mentioned how her father had made things difficult for him when he wanted to date her aunt.

He even had to beat her father in a one-on-one basketball match before he could pursue her Aunt Zhang Yu Ying.

In the past, her father had also blocked a few boys who wanted to pursue her. Who knows what would her father do when he found out that she was dating?

Zhang Li Xue looked at their intertwined fingers and sighed. “This isn’t right. Why does it feel as if I’m even more worried than you?”

Bai Qi laughed when he heard her question. “That’s true.”

She raised her head to look at him and raised a brow. “Doctor Bai, are you not worried?”

“Of course, I’m worried.”

Zhang Li Xue thought that Bai Qi did not look worried at all.

“But, Li Xue, as long as you are with me... As long as it is for you... I think I would be able to face anything.” Bai Qi was watching her with such gentleness.

In the beginning, he always thought that someone like him was unworthy of her. But knowing that she liked him too had changed a certain thought in his mind.

She made him braver. She made him feel like anything would be possible. His little fairy was that magical.

Zhang Li Xue was too stunned that she was unable to react immediately.

It felt as if something was exploding in her mind, causing her ability to think to temporarily malfunction.

His words slowly registered in her mind. Gradually, her face turned pink. Zhang Li Xue was screaming internally. She did not dare to look at this flirtatious man.

Zhang Li Xue forced herself to compose herself. She put on a cool expression and decided to tease him a little bit. “Listening to your words, it seemed that you really liked me...”

Bai Qi laughed again. “Un. I really like you.”

“Really?” She wanted to tease him, but it seemed that it was not working. Zhang Li Xue tilted her head to one side. Suddenly, she recalled a conversation with Fang Su Jin a while ago. “Then, tell me, how long have you liked me? When did you realize that you like me?”

Previously, Fang Su Jin had mentioned that Bai Qi might like her longer than she had liked him. However, her friend did not want to tell her more about it.

Bai Qi was reminded of the day when the little fairy walked out from the corner and immediately grasped his attention. She was dressed in a flowery dress and she was wearing a flowery crown.

The little Zhang Li Xue was walking around the hall, looking at everything and everyone curiously. She seemed to be afraid of the kids her age, but she still put on a brave front.

She was adorable.

He had forgotten a lot of memories from his younger days. However, he would always remember the first time he had seen her.

Noticing that his girlfriend was still waiting for his answer, Bai Qi then spoke, “Well... it was a long time ago.”

Zhang Li Xue giggled. “How long time ago? During the time I was hospitalized due to appendicitis?”

That was the day that they met again in Y City, right?

Bai Qi said that it was a long time ago and this was the time that came to her mind.

“Hmm... It was longer than that,” Bai Qi said.

Zhang Li Xue made another guess. “During Huan Huan and He Rong’s wedding?”

After all, that was the day that they were reunited after a long time.

His lips curled into a mysterious smile. Bai Qi pondered over it for a while before deciding to tell her his secret. “Would you believe it if I tell you that I started to like you the first time I saw you at your aunt’s wedding?”

Zhang Li Xue was stunned to hear his answer.

Her aunt’s wedding... Just how long ago was that? At that time, she was still a baby, right?
