351 Are You Happy with Him?
Bai Qi and Bai Xi Xi stayed at Zhang’s residence for the whole day. They only went back to their apartment once they had dinner with the family. The Zhang family wanted them to stay the night, but Bai Qi had to go to work and Bai Xi Xi still had to go to her school.
After they left, Zhang Yi Hai could not forget his conversation with Bai Qi.
When that man said that he had something to talk to him about, Zhang Yi Hai had not expected that it was going to be about a proposal.
Zhang Yi Hai could not hide his shock.
He did not think that the two of them had been together long enough for them to get married. He actually wanted Bai Qi to consider this matter carefully.
But then, he remembered that his parents too did get married after dating for a few months.
Moreover, Bai Qi had gotten the approval of his family. Even his dad who once would chase away any boy from getting close to his sister had approved of this relationship.
Just now, when Bai Qi carried his sister downstairs, his father did not seem to mind their intimacy as well.
Then, getting married seemed to be normal?

In a few days, he only had to bring his sister to a place. Then, Bai Qi was going to pop up that question. What he had to do was keep this secret and don’t let his sister suspect anything.
As his conversation appeared in his mind again, Zhang Yi Hai could not stop glancing at his sister a few times. He wondered just how she was going to react once Bai Qi proposed.
Just then, his gaze met with his sister again. Worried that his sister was going to suspect something, Zhang Yi Hai quickly looked away.
However, his move made Zhang Li Xue even more suspicious.
A while ago, Zhang Li Xue noticed that her brother has been stealing a few glances at her. The look in his eyes was so strange. Zhang Li Xue could not help but think that her brother was up for something bad.
Zhang Li Xue stared at her brother for a long time.
Seeing that he had deliberately did not want to meet her gaze had slowly confirmed her suspicions.
“Zhang Yi Hai.”
His sister’s voice almost made him jump.
Zhang Yi Hai realized that trying to keep this secret from his sister might be a little difficult.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yi Hai turned to his sister with a calm look on his face. “What is it?”
Zhang Li Xue narrowed her eyes at him. “What are you up to?”
The young man blinked, pretending that he did not understand his sister’s question.
“You have been stealing a few glances at me for a while,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Don’t pretend.”
Zhang Yi Hai was quick to adjust his emotion. “What’s wrong with looking at you? Sister, I’m only worried. With your injury, I’m worried that you might need some help.”
Her eyes narrowed. Zhang Li Xue found that she had no reason to not trust his words. After all, Zhang Yi Hai has always been worried about her. This younger brother often acted as the elder sibling.
Not wanting his sister to be suspicious, Zhang Yi Hai approached his sister and asked, “Sister, are you alright? Do you need anything? A glass of water?”
Hearing the concern in his words, Zhang Li Xue quickly dismissed her earlier thought. She shook her head and spoke, “No. I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I wanted to sleep earlier.”
“Then, I’ll help you back to your room.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Yi Hai pushed the wheelchair into the guest room downstairs and helped his sister to move to her bed. He watched as his sister got into a comfortable position and finally was more at ease.
“Do you need anything else?”
Zhang Li Xue shook her head. “I’m fine. Just... don’t switch off the light when you leave.”

“Will it be alright for you to sleep here alone?”
“Grandma said she’s going to accompany me to sleep tonight.” Zhang Li Xue smiled. With her grandmother around, she would not be so scared.
Zhang Li Xue planned to sleep earlier. Then, when her grandmother came in and switched off the light, she would not be that scared.
A faint sigh escaped him. Zhang Yi Hai stretched his arms and patted his sister on the head. Seeing the unhappy look on his sister’s face made him chuckle. Zhang Yi Hai retracted his hand and pondered Bai Qi’s plan again.
“Sister, what do you think about Brother Bai Qi?”
His question aroused her suspicion again. “Why are you asking me this?”
“No reason. I heard from mom that he was the one who found you that night.”
“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue lowered her gaze and smiled. She could still remember how relieved she was upon seeing Bai Qi’s face that night.
“Then, are you happy with him?”
Her face turned a little red. Slowly, Zhang Li Xue began to nod. She was happy with Bai Qi. That man made her very happy.
His sister’s reaction made him laugh. “It’s good that you are happy.” Before his sister was going to suspect him again, Zhang Yi Hai walked over to the door “Sister, good night.”
After he left, Zhang Yi Hai went back to his room. He thought of Bai Qi’s plan again and finally decided that tricking his sister out was something that he could not do alone.
He pondered over the plan and decided to get some assistance.
Zhang Yi Hai grabbed his phone and stared at the name in his contact book. After a long hesitation, Zhang Yi Hai finally pressed the call button.
