593 Buy a Gift

Zhang Li Xue did not have to wait for too long before Bai Qi was finally done with his work. Then, holding hands, the two of them walked over to the hospital cafeteria together.

This was not the first time that Zhang Li Xue had appeared in the hospital cafeteria with Bai Qi. However, each time she visited the cafeteria with him, people would still stare at the two of them.

They chose their usual spot beside the window to look at the garden view.

Zhang Li Xue would sit at the spot while waiting for Bai Qi to return to the table with a tray of food.

The food at the cafeteria was not that bad. They tasted decent and were quite healthy. But Zhang Li Xue always thought that they served good chicken wings. The cafeteria was one of her favorite spots to eat this dish.

Zhang Li Xue ate her favorite chicken wings happily while chatting with Bai Qi about this and that. Mostly, the two of them would spend time catching up on their recent news. Suddenly, Zhang Li Xue recalled seeing a photo that Mo Qing Huan had posted on social media and decided to bring up her idea.

“It’s going to be a school holiday soon,” Zhang Li Xue spoke as she put down the chicken bones on the plate. “Doctor Bai, will you be able to take a few days off? Let’s take Xi Xi to play by the beach. Last time, Xi Xi saw some photos of us around the beach and she mentioned that she wanted to play by the beach as well.”

Bai Qi smiled, knowing that his wife was always thinking about his little sister. “I’ll look at my schedule and check with everyone first.”

“It will be alright if it was for a couple of days,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Hmm... weekends are good too. This way, I don’t have to apply for leave for too long.”

.....

The hotel was not on its busy period, but Zhang Li Xue thought that it would not be good if she was away from work for too long.

Bai Qi leaned over. “Now I’m thinking that it’s you who wanted to play by the beach.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. She did not try to deny it. “I was just thinking... the two of us have been busy with work recently. It’s good to spend our time together.”

Hearing her words, Bai Qi was determined to get a few days off from work.

His work demanded he prioritized his patients before his family. But this does not mean that he did not care about them. His wife and little sister have been very understanding toward his career. Bai Qi thought that he should spend a few days with them. He should appreciate the people who supported him the most.

Moreover, he seemed to remember that Bai Xi Xi did not have much chance to go on a vacation.

In the past, he had no time to accompany his little sister as he had to work. Then, the money he had was just enough to pay some bills, rent, and their food. Going on vacation was something that he could not afford.

Back then, he could only take Bai Xi Xi to the playground and the public library.

Most of her classmates would be visiting a lot of places, but Bai Xi Xi could not go anywhere.

Fortunately, Bai Xi Xi had always been understanding and had never thrown any tantrum. But now that he had some money, he should compensate his little sister and let her see the world.

Bai Xi Xi was still young and he hoped that his little sister would have a good childhood.

“Help and remind me again when will Xi Xi’s school holiday start.”

Zhang Li Xue spent a few hours accompanying Bai Qi at the hospital before she returned to the house. Bai Qi still had to work the night shift and had to stay at the hospital until he get off work tomorrow.

When Zhang Li Xue arrived at home, Bai Xi Xi had already gone to bed. She walked into her room and texted Bai Qi that she had arrived home.

Seeing that Bai Qi did not reply, Zhang Li Xue guessed that Bai Qi should be busy at work.

Then, Zhang Li Xue took a shower and prepared herself to go to bed.

She was in the middle of applying some skin care when her phone on the side table rang. She glanced at the caller ID and smiled upon seeing Fang Su Jin’s name.

“Li Xue, what are you doing?” Fang Su Jin spoke as the call was connected.

“Just finishing up my skincare routine. What’s up?”

“I was thinking... Will you be free tomorrow?” Fang Su Jin asked. “How about accompanying me to shop? You can bring little Xi Xi along with you.”

Zhang Li Xue recalled that Bai Qi will still have to work tomorrow. Then, she should be quite free. “What are you shopping for?”

Fang Su Jin coughed. “Your brother’s graduation is in a few months. I was thinking that I should go and buy him a gift.”

Not too long ago, Fang Su Jin told Zhang Yi Hai that he could make a request if he got a good result for his exam. However, a few months passed and her boyfriend still did not make up his mind about this. He won’t tell her what he wanted.

Fang Su Jin thought that it would be better for her to buy a gift for her boyfriend before he could think of something.

Zhang Li Xue smiled as she recalled that Fang Su Jin’s relationship with her little brother had gotten better in the past few days. “Alright then. I can accompany you and bring Xi Xi along. For my sister-in-law, I am willing to spend my time. Coincidentally, Doctor Bai had to work tomorrow as well.”

Fang Su Jin laughed happily. Of course, she had to ignore that sister-in-law part. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to your favorite chicken wings.”

Zhang Li Xue rolled her eyes. The two friends chatted for a while and set a date to meet up tomorrow.
