Love So Sweet

118 A Sleeping Little Fairy

A long heavy sigh escaped him as Bai Qi walked out of the operation theatre. His hands were massaging his stiff shoulder.

As he walked out the door, the patient’s family stood up and walked over to his side. Their faces were anxious as they were waiting to hear news about their family.

Bai Qi spent a few minutes explaining the situation and saw them breathe in relief. After exchanging a few more words with them, Bai Qi headed out and planned to take a few hours of sleep.

A few hours ago, a patient was brought over to the hospital. He was involved in an accident and would require immediate surgery quickly.

Because he was on duty, Bai Qi had to enter the surgery room with a few others.

It was only a few days ago that he came back from the convention with Doctor Qi. The moment he return, he had to report back to the hospital. It was tiring, but Bai Qi did not mind it.

The thought that he had made things right with his little fairy again made him smile.

He wondered what the girl was doing at this moment?

The door slid open.

.....

Bai Qi looked up and his movement instantly halted.

There was a sleeping little fairy in the waiting room.

It was only a few seconds ago that he was thinking of this little fairy. Now that she had appeared in front of him, Bai Qi began to wonder if perhaps everything was only his imagination.

Could it be that he was too tired that he had been imagining things?

Subconsciously, Bai Qi took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to her. He did not dare to blink, fearing that his little fairy would disappear.

Only once he get closer that Bai Qi dared to believe that the person in front of him was real.

The girl continued to sleep.

Her eyes were closed and her brow was slightly furrowed. Bai Qi could see that she was too tired. The girl had not even noticed his approach.

It made him worry that someone was going to take advantage of her. It was too dangerous for her to stay alone.

He glanced at the time and noticed that it was almost midnight.

But... What was she doing here in the hospital? Was she looking for her uncle? Or him?

“Doctor Bai...”

Hearing the whispering voice, Bai Qi turned around and saw that Nurse Tian was standing next to him with a smile on her face.

“Miss Zhang came over to look for you,” Nurse Tian spoke as she glanced at the sleeping lady. “She wanted to wait until your surgery ended. I had no other choice but to let her wait here.”

Bai Qi nodded. “Alright. Nurse Tian, thank you. I will take it from here.”

After exchanging a few more words, Nurse Tian left, leaving the two of them in the waiting area.

Bai Qi stared at Zhang Li Xue’s sleeping visage for a long time, wondering why was she coming to the hospital so late to look for him.

However, a few seconds later, Bai Qi watched as Zhang Li Xue’s head slid down to one side. He rushed over and stretched out his hand to stop her from falling.

A breath of relief escaped him.

Then, he realized that his position was a little awkward...

He couldn’t really stand here and hold her face like this, could he?

Should he wake her up?

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qi called her name a few times, “Miss Zhang?”

The girl did not respond.

“Li Xue?”

Her brow furrowed deeper. “Five minutes.”

Bai Qi could not help but chuckle at her response.

After checking that there was no one else in the waiting area, Bai Qi sat down beside her and let her head rest on his shoulder.

The girl moved slightly to adjust herself into a comfortable position before she continued to sleep.

Seeing that she had stopped moving around, Bai Qi finally heaved with relief.

Bai Qi sat stiffly as he glanced at the girl beside him.

He could see her long lashes and cute nose. Even when she was sleeping, Zhang Li Xue was still adorable.

His eyes turned gentler.

Bai Qi wished that this moment would stay forever. Even though he might be tired from sitting up straight, he wouldn’t mind it. As long as he could see his little fairy this close, everything would be worth it.

A while ago, Bai Qi was still a little tired after the surgery. But now that he gets to watch Zhang Li Xue’s face like this, the tiredness seemed to fade away.

Because they were too close, Bai Qi could smell her scent.

His face moved closer to her. An inch closer, he would be able to kiss the top of her head.

Bai Qi quickly pulled away.

He closed his eyes tightly and looked away as he scolded himself.

His conscience would not allow him to take advantage of his little fairy.

Minutes passed. Bai Qi realized that this closeness was slowly torturing him.

After a while, Zhang Li Xue stirred in her sleep. It took her a while to realize that she was at the hospital.

Startled, Zhang Li Xue sat up straight.

“You’re awake.”

Hearing that voice, Zhang Li Xue turned and saw the familiar figure beside her. She rubbed her eyes a few times and blinked. She gave Bai Qi a look over and understood what was going on.

Just now, she has been sleeping on his shoulder...

Her face heated up and she quickly looked away from him. “Your surgery ended?” Because she had been sleeping, Zhang Li Xue’s eyes sounded a little hoarse.

“Uh-huh.” Bai Qi nodded. He saw the way she was looking at him and worry that she would misunderstand his intention. “I tried to wake you up, but you insisted to continue for five more minutes.”

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips into a thin line. She was too embarrassed. She was supposed to wait for him. Why did she fall asleep at this place?

“Nurse Tian said that you were waiting for me?” Bai Qi smiled. “What is it that was so important that you could not wait until tomorrow?”

As she looked at Bai Qi, she finally remembered her reason to find him. Her mind was a little hazy and she did not know where she should start.

Zhang Li Xue fumbled with her purse and took out the old photograph. He handed it to him and spoke, “Doctor Bai, I have some questions for you.”

Bai Qi frowned. His heartbeat accelerated the moment he get a clear look at the photograph.
