Chapter 42: Bai Qi Could Easily Locate Her

Zhang Li Xue ran towards the garden with Mu Zhen Yu following closely. Once they met a few kids of the same age, they started to play around. The little girl suggested playing basketball. However, other than Mu Zhen Yu, everyone else seemed uninterested in the sport.

Most of them were young and did not know how to play the sport. Especially as Zhang Li Xue often practiced using the ball and basketball court meant for adults.

In the end, Zhang Li Xue gave in and followed the majority.

One of the boys was chosen as the seeker and Zhang Li Xue began to hide with Mu Zhen Yu. However, the boy was quick to find everyone else.

Next, Mu Zhen Yu was chosen as the seeker and the others began to hide.

As they were on her turf, it was not hard for Zhang Li Xue to find a place to hide. After pondering for a while, the little girl went to hide behind the flower bushes that her mother planted.

From her hiding place, Zhang Li Xue peeked behind the bushes and saw Mu Zhen Yu begin to seek. In a short time, the boy managed to seek a girl.

.....

Fortunately, her hiding place was quite far. Zhang Li Xue guessed that it would be a while before Mu Zhen Yu would be able to find her.

Seeing that the boy had found another of their friends, Zhang Li Xue lowered her head and giggled.

Just then, a shadow loomed over her.

Her eyes caught the sight of a pair of black shoes in front of her. Zhang Li Xue gasped. She couldn’t help but think that perhaps, Mu Zhen Yu had found her.

She looked up slowly and saw that the person was not who she had expected.

“Brother Bai Qi!” Zhang Li Xue looked at him in surprise. Realizing that she was still in the game of hide and seek, Zhang Li Xue tugged at the boy’s hand until he was crouched down beside her.

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Mu Zhen Yu anxiously and finally breathed in relief when she saw that the man was farther away from her. She looked at Bai Qi again and blinked. “Brother Bai Qi, what are you doing here? Are you going to hide with me?”

The boy’s ears reddened.

This was not the first time that the little girl had addressed him as Brother Bai Qi. However, each time that he heard this calling... Bai Qi felt a little shy. Moreover, there were only two of them behind the flower bush.

“No.” Bai Qi peeked at the crowd of guests not far away from them. “Are you hiding?”

He had come with his grandmother. Seeing that her grandmother was busy chatting with her friends, Bai Qi told her that he was going to look for his friend. He had just come out to the garden when he saw the little fairy hiding behind the bush.

There were a lot of people around, but Bai Qi could easily locate her.

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “We were in the middle of playing hide and seek. It was Brother Zhen Yu to seek us. I think it would be a while before he will find me. Brother Bai Qi, do you want to play together?”

Bai Qi peeked at Mu Zhen Yu who was still searching for others. “No.”

Her relationship with Mu Zhen Yu had gotten worst on the day he had pulled this girl’s hair. Then, they stopped talking after Mu Zhen Yu pushed him at the gym.

In class, they would not communicate if it was not because of an assignment. Their classmates were getting used to this situation.

Fortunately, they were going to stay in the same class for another month. When they meet again after graduating from kindergarten, they would be in a different school. Perhaps they would be in a different class as well.

Bai Qi was aware that Mu Zhen Yu did not like him as he has been mischievous and had done some mistakes in the past.

However, Bai Qi wanted to change.

“I just come over to find you.” Bai Qi’s face reddened as he spoke those words. His eyes widened in surprise when the girl stretched her hand to touch his cheek.

“Brother Bai Qi, your face is a little red. Are you sick?”

Bai Qi wanted the hand to stay on his cheek a little while, but the girl had already pulled her hand away. “I’m not sick. The weather is a little hot.”

Zhang Li Xue raised her head to look at the sky. The sun was hidden behind the thick clouds. “Is it?”

Bai Qi looked away and coughed. “I heard that today is your brother’s full moon celebration.” He swiftly changed the topic.

The little girl’s eyes lit up. Zhang Li Xue loved her little brother very much and liked to talk about him a lot.

Just now, her aunt said that it was time for her little brother to drink some milk. She wondered if he had drunk enough?

Zhang Li Xue seemed to remember the smell of the little baby after he had drank his milk. Her brother smelled really fragrant.

Thinking about it made her realize that she missed her little brother again.

“Brother Bai Qi, do you want to see my little brother? He’s very cute. His cheeks are so soft like glutinous balls and he smelled very fragrant.”

Bai Qi was an only child. He did not like babies that much. In his opinion, babies like to cry a lot. They were especially noisy and hard to coax.

However, it would be different if it was the little fairy’s little brother. Maybe he would not be as annoying as he had thought.

“My grandmother said the baby looks just like me,” Zhang Li Xue continued to boast about her little brother. “Brother Bai Qi, you haven’t seen him yet, right?”

This was not the first time that Zhang Li Xue had spoken about her little brother. Each time after their basketball practice, the little girl would often mention her little brother.

Bai Qi was suddenly curious about the boy.

He tried to imagine a baby with the same face as this little fairy. He could already imagine that the boy would be cute.

Bai Qi nodded. “Un. Can I see him?”
