Love So Sweet

As he glanced into the living room, Bai Qi could see his girlfriend tutoring his little sister. Bai Xi Xi had a serious look on her face as she listened to her Pretty Sister tutoring.

The living room was filled with the sound of the girls’ voices and laughter, but he was alone in the kitchen, preparing his girlfriend’s favorite chicken wings as well as a few other dishes.

The kitchen in the new apartment had an island table style.

As he was preparing the marinade, Zhang Li Xue walked into the kitchen and stood across from him. She propped her face with both hands as she looked at the man with a pair of adoring eyes.

“Doctor Bai, you are really good with handling a knife.” Zhang Li Xue glanced at the chicken wings in the bowl and sighed. “The cut is very smooth.” She really adored Bai Qi’s work.

Bai Qi laughed. “Did you come over to watch me cut some chicken?”

“No. I come to accompany my boyfriend.”

Bai Qi raised a brow. “Just to accompany?”

.....

Zhang Li Xue had a sheepish look in her eyes. “Un. After all, you are cooking for me. Of course, I have to accompany you and look at what you are doing. Do you need my help? I can also help you wash some vegetables.”

“No. Everything is almost done. You can just stay there and watch me cook,” Bai Qi said. He glanced at the living room where his little sister was doing her practice with a serious look on her face. “What about Xi Xi?”

“Mmm... I already tutored her on a few topics. Xi Xi is now doing some practice on her own. She’s smart. Of course, she’ll be able to do it.”

Bai Qi walked over to the stove and started to heat the pan. He added some garlic and chilies before tossing in some sauce. A fragrant and delicious scent filled the space.

Zhang Li Xue continued to stick around to watch her boyfriend cook.

No matter how long she look, her Doctor Bai was very good-looking when he was working hard.

Her heart was dripping in honey just by looking at him. Zhang Li Xue thought that she was too infatuated with this man.

Bai Qi continued to toss a few more ingredients into the pan. After a while, he stared at the stalk of green onions on the kitchen counter. “I forgot to cut the onions.”

Zhang Li Xue stood up straight. “You go and focus on the stove. I’ll help you to cut the onion.”

Before Bai Qi could say a word, his girlfriend had already grabbed the knife and sliced the onions.

“Should I slice them all?”

“Un.” Bai Qi nodded. “Thank you.” He then turned to focus on the chicken wings again. As the skin had turned slightly brown, Bai Qi began to toss them again to get an even coating.

A sharp gasp from his girlfriend made him turn.

His heart jolted when he saw Zhang Li Xue clutching her hands.

Bai Qi turned off the fire and walked over to her side. “What happened?”

“I-”

Zhang Li Xue did not manage to answer, Bai Qi had already grabbed her hands.

His brow furrowed when he saw the blood dripping from the tip of her ring finger. “Come with me.”

“It’s not that serious.” Zhang Li Xue wanted to explain, but the moment she met Bai Qi’s cold gaze, she decided that it would be better if she did not say a word.

The man let her sit on the chair. Then, he turned around to grab the first aid kit. After cleaning up her injury, Bai Qi quickly bandaged her injury with a plaster.

It was only then that he started to relax.

He raised his head and finally met her gaze. “Are you alright? Is it painful?”

Zhang Li Xue let out a nervous laugh. “I only cut my finger a little bit. Doctor Bai, aren’t you too anxious?”

It was only then that Bai Qi seemed to realize how he had acted. He held on to her hand tightly while looking at her bandaged finger. “I don’t want to see you hurt.”

She was his little fairy. He could not bear to see her in pain, even just a little bit.

Zhang Li Xue stared back at him speechlessly. Just then, she noticed that Bai Xi Xi has been standing by her brother’s side for a while. The little girl was looking at her anxiously.

The look on Bai Xi Xi’s face was almost the same as her brother’s.

Her heart warmed, knowing that the siblings were only worried about her.

“I’m fine.” Zhang Li Xue spoke. She raised her hand and waved it around. “You see? Your brother already helped to bandage the injury.”

“Pretty Sister, you have to be careful next time,” Bai Xi Xi spoke. She was still doing her practice when she noticed her brother dragging her Pretty Sister away. When she came closer, Bai Xi Xi was worried to see the blood on her finger.

She could only stand at the side as she watched her brother working hard to treat the injury.

“Are you worried?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

“Un.” Bai Xi Xi nodded. She glanced at the bandaged finger again and muttered, “It must be painful.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh.

This little girl was too adorable!

“Xi Xi, sorry for making you worry.” Zhang Li Xue stretched her arms and pulled the little girl in her embrace.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi was watching this scene in front of him unhappily. He was also worried. But why didn’t he get a hug?

As if she could understand his thought, Zhang Li Xue extended her arms to Bai Qi as well.

Seeing this gesture made him chuckle. He then moved over and the three of them were hugging in the dining room together.

The scene was warm and harmonious.

Bai Qi held Zhang Li Xue’s hand and played with her soft fingers. He looked at the bandage around her ring finger with a dazed look on his face. A thought came to his mind, making his expression turn serious.
