Love So Sweet

202 Come Here

While waiting for Bai Xi Xi to wake up, the couple sat on the sofa in the living room together. The television was on, but the two of them were not really paying attention to the program.

Bai Qi glanced at his girlfriend and smiled when he saw that she was not paying attention. “Li Xue.”

“Huh?”

“Come here.” He patted the space beside him.

Zhang Li Xue hesitated for a while. She glanced at Bai Xi Xi’s door and saw that it was still closed tightly. Her cheek reddened. Then, Zhang Li Xue scooted over to his side.

A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. Without warning, Bai Qi tugged at her arms, pulling her into his embrace. The tip of her nose hit his chest and Bai Qi hugged her waist tightly.

“You...”

His warm and soft lips landed on hers.

Her body stiffened as Bai Qi continued to press his lips against hers into a lingering kiss.

.....

Zhang Li Xue was screaming internally as she was not expecting Bai Qi to pull such a move on her. Her heartbeat accelerated and Zhang Li Xue could feel her face heating up.

Her body had already turned weak when Bai Qi finally let her go.

Zhang Li Xue looked up and met his gaze. Instead of seeing the playful look in his eyes, Zhang Li Xue was surprised to see her own reflection in his eyes. Then, he approached closer to her again.

Their breath entangled and just like that, she was kissed again.

This time, Zhang Li Xue took the initiative to return his kiss. The sound of their kisses filled the room, but they were both too preoccupied with each other to notice that.

Each time that his lips moved against hers, Zhang Li Xue felt as if her heart was going to explode.

She really, really liked this man.

The two of them only parted once she was too breathless to continue this kiss. Her head rested on his chest as Bai Qi hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head.

He had one hand wrapped around her waist, while another was playing with her long hair.

Zhang Li Xue’s hair was always as soft as he could remember. Back then, he had tugged at her hair and made her cry, didn’t he?

The memories made him smile.

Who would have thought that the girl he had bullied when they were young would now be in his arms?

Subconsciously, he tightened his hold around her body, feeling contented with how she was in his arms now.

“Are you tired?” Bai Qi asked after a long silence between them.

“No.” Somehow, the tiredness seemed to have disappeared as she was in his arms.

Zhang Li Xue looked up to meet his gaze. Her hand crept upwards until they were touching his chin before it continued to make its way up. Then, she started to study his face seriously.

His nose was high and his lips were thin and soft. Now that she looked carefully, Zhang Li Xue noticed his faint cleft chin. It made him look a little more attractive.

Then, her finger started to trace the dark circle under his eyes. Her heart was distressed when she saw his tired eyes.

“Then, what do you want to eat?” Bai Qi asked. “Should we go out and eat? Or do you want to stay here? I can cook something,”

“Well, I’m fine with anything.”

Bai Qi pondered about it for a while. “I think, there are some chicken wings in the refrigerator. I’ll make you some garlic soy sauce chicken wings. How does that sound?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Un. Your chicken wings tasted good as well.”

Bai Qi laughed. He stretched his hand and touched the tips of her nose.

The couple stayed in this position for a long time while talking about nothing and everything. Without noticing it, Zhang Li Xue fell asleep in Bai Qi’s arms.

His scent and his comfortable heat were making her feel very secure.

Bai Qi only noticed that his girlfriend had fallen asleep when she did not answer his question for a while. He tried to move to let her get into a comfortable position. However, Zhang Li Xue was hugging him tightly as if she did not want to let him go.

In the end, he could only let her continue to sleep with her head on his chest.

He glanced at his sister’s bedroom and saw that the door was still shut. Bai Qi was sure that if Bai Xi Xi saw them in this position, Zhang Li Xue would be embarrassed.

When Zhang Li Xue woke up a few minutes later, she realized that she was using a certain someone’s chest as her pillow.

The two of them were talking earlier. Just how did she fall asleep like this?

Zhang Li Xue moved and saw that Bai Qi was looking at something on his phone.

Noticing her light movement, Bai Qi lowered his head and met her gaze. “Awake?”

Her face reddened, feeling embarrassed by this situation. “Un. Is Xi Xi awake?”

Bai Qi chuckled. Zhang Li Xue has only fell asleep for less than half an hour. “She’s still sleeping. She should be tired after walking around for a long time.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved in relief, knowing that the little girl had not seen her sleeping on her brother’s chest. She shifted her gaze to look at his phone screen. “What are you looking at?”

Before Bai Qi started to tease her, it would be better if she divert his attention.

Now that Zhang Li Xue saw his phone screen, she realized that Bai Qi was looking at a list of apartments around the hospital area.

A thought came to her mind and Zhang Li Xue turned to him again. “Are you looking for a new apartment?”

Bai Qi glanced at his phone before turning to his girlfriend again. “Uh-huh. Previously, I was in a hurry to move back to Y City. I didn’t have time to look around. Coincidentally, this place was available. I never planned to stay at this apartment for a long time.”

Now that he’s going to have money, it’s better to choose a suitable and safer neighborhood for Xi Xi.

“Then, do you want me to help you look?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “I could ask around.”

Her mother used to be in the property business. Zhang Li Xue was sure that her mother would know a few good places.

Bai Qi smiled. “Then, I’ll be counting on you.”
