Love So Sweet

198 Will You Run Away?

When Zhang Li Xue met up with Bai Qi later in the evening, she couldn’t help to tell him about the misunderstanding with her brother. Zhang Li Xue seemed to think that it was amusing that her little brother almost got himself into trouble just because he sent Fang Su Jin back to the hotel.

The thought that the hotel staff had misunderstood that her brother had taken a girl to spend a night there was hilarious.

Bai Qi listened to Zhang Li Xue’s chattering voice and smiled. The look on his face seemed to tell that he really enjoyed listening to whatever his girlfriend was telling him.

After a while, Zhang Li Xue gradually noticed that Bai Qi was staring at her. Looking at the smile on his face made her feel a little shy.

“You... Why are you looking at me like that?”

“What’s wrong with looking at my girlfriend?”

Zhang Li Xue felt as if an arrow struck her heart. Then, her face heated up quickly. She found that she liked it very much when Bai Qi called her his girlfriend.

Bai Qi laughed softly. He could not resist stretching his hand and pinching his girlfriend’s cheek softly.

“Li Xue.”

.....

“Huh?”

“I was thinking... What do you think will happen if your family found out that we are in a relationship?” Bai Qi asked.

After listening to her story just now, Bai Qi could not help but wonder what would happen if the same situation happened to them.

“This...” Zhang Li Xue hesitated. She did not dare to imagine the look on her father’s face when he found out that she was dating someone.

Previously, her father had always made it difficult for every boy who wanted to get close to her. The only reason Mu Zhen Yu was left unharmed was because of their mother’s friendship. Her father would never want to mess with her mother.

Zhang Li Xue never minded it as she never really cared about the other boys. But the thought that her father might scare Bai Qi away hurts her heart.

She did not want her father to scare Bai Qi away...

“I don’t know.” Zhang Li Xue spoke. She studied Bai Qi’s face before forcing a smile and asked, “If my father scares you away, will you run away?”

Her tone sounded playful, but Zhang Li Xue knew that she was serious to know the answer.

“Of course, not.” Bai Qi reached to grab her hand and held it tightly. “Li Xue, as long as you still want me around, then, I will never leave your side.”

It was not easy for him to be with his little fairy. Knowing that Zhang Li Xue liked him too made it harder for him to let go. If someone wanted him to leave her side, he will definitely put on a fight.

He wanted to continue and hold her hand like this for a long time.

Bai Qi did not know what will happen to them in the future. But he hoped that after they both grow old with white hairs, he could still hold her hand like this.

He might not have many things to offer, but Bai Qi hoped that he could give her happiness.

His answer made her smile.

Zhang Li Xue looked at their intertwining hands and tightened her grip. She felt as if the more that she spent her time with him, the more that she liked him.

“It’s just that... Recently, there are rumors that I am now in a relationship.”

After that day Zhang Li Xue held his hand in the elevator, the nurses who happened to see this scene spread this news to the other staff.

Bai Qi was a new doctor and he was quite good-looking. There were a few who was interested in him. Therefore, it did not take a long time before the rumor spread.

Initially, Bai Qi had noticed that a few of his colleagues were looking at him strangely. It was only after Doctor Wang had asked about his relationship that Bai Qi knew about this rumor.

Bai Qi leaned over with a playful glint in his eyes. “There were rumors that these past few days, a pretty lady often came to visit me at the hospital.”

It took Zhang Li Xue a few seconds to figure out that this pretty lady was her.

Thinking that Bai Qi had called her pretty made her smile happily.

“Li Xue,” Bai Qi spoke in his low voice. “Sooner or later, Doctor Qi is going to ask about this. Should I tell him the truth?”

Zhang Li Xue remembered that her Uncle Qi Zheng was Bai Qi’s mentor. If someone spoke about Bai Qi, then, her Uncle Qi Zheng will definitely hear about it soon.

However, Zhang Li Xue did not know whether she would be ready for it.

Uncle Qi Zheng and her father were very close. If Uncle Qi Zheng knew that she was dating someone, surely, her uncle would tell her father, right?

Zhang Li Xue pondered this question seriously. It took her a while to weigh her decision. “If he asked, then you should tell him the truth.”

Dating Bai Qi was not a shameful thing. Why would she want to hide him?

“Really?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. She leaned over and pecked on the corner of his lips. “It will be fine.”

Zhang Li Xue decided not to worry too much about things that did not happen yet. For now, she wanted to focus on cultivating her feelings with Doctor Bai Qi.

The couple continued to chat and later, their subject shifted to something else.

The alarm on Bai Qi’s phone rang, signaling that it was almost time for him to be on duty.

Zhang Li Xue was a little unwilling to part from Bai Qi. Time surely moved faster whenever they were both together.

Fortunately, Bai Qi would be on his off day tomorrow. The two of them had planned to go on a date and practice basketball with Bai Xi Xi.

Although Bai Xi Xi would be present on their date, as long as she gets to spend her time with Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue would be satisfied.
