Love So Sweet

147 His Light

As he reached his floor, Bai Qi took another deep breath to calm down. Then, he pushed the door and walked out.

The anger on his face a while ago was no longer there. When he passed by his colleagues, Bai Qi would flash them a smile, pretending that everything was alright.

He walked past the nurse’s station and halted when he heard someone call his name.

Turning around, Bai Qi saw that Nurse Tian was looking at him with a gentle smile.

“Nurse Tian, what is it?” Bai Qi asked. His expression turned serious as he thought that something had happened to one of his patients while he went away.

“Doctor Bai, someone came to find you just now,” Nurse Tian said.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Miss Zhang. Doctor Qi’s niece.”

His eyes lit up. Bai Qi started to look around but was disappointed when he could not see his little fairy. His heart sunk as he thought that perhaps, Zhang Li Xue had gone back after waiting for him for a while.

.....

“Miss Zhang said she will be waiting for you at the hospital’s garden,” Nurse Tian continued. “Doctor Bai, I think, she should still be around.”

“Nurse Tian, I will go and look for her,” Bai Qi said. “If there’s anything, just reach for my phone.”

Without waiting for the nurse’s reply, Bai Qi quickly turned around and headed over to the elevator. He pressed the button and stared at the number on the top. The number moved slowly before it stopped at a floor for a long time.

Bai Qi became impatient. He turned around and decided to use the staircase instead.

He wanted to go over to Zhang Li Xue’s side fast before she would give up and go back.

By the time he reached the ground floor, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

He went straight to the garden and began to look for Zhang Li Xue. His eyes were looking everywhere, but he could not find her.

Bai Qi reached for his phone in his pocket and was about to dial Zhang Li Xue’s number when he saw her with his sister. The two of them were walking on the path as they continued to chat.

His hands dropped to his side. Bai Qi stood on the spot for a long time as he watched them.

Just in time, Zhang Li Xue looked up, meeting his gaze.

Her movement halted for a brief second. Then, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

The moment he saw her, the grievance he had been trying to suppress had gradually dissipated. His mind went blank. His legs brought him over to Zhang Li Xue’s side.

“Doctor Bai-”

The words that Zhang Li Xue wanted to say remained unsaid.

Her eyes widened in surprise. Zhang Li Xue was not expecting Bai Qi to suddenly hug her!

She raised her hand, wanting to push him away when he rested his forehead on her shoulder and spoke in a low voice, “Li Xue, lend me your shoulder for a few seconds, alright?”

Her eyes flickered.

After they both reunited, Bai Qi always called her Miss Zhang. It was the first time that he had called her name and she found that she liked the way he pronounced her name. He sounded very gentle.

Moreover... Zhang Li Xue realized that there was something strange in his tone. Thinking that Bai Qi was probably not in a good mood due to something that happened with his patient, Zhang Li Xue decided to be generous and let him use her shoulder as a place for him to rest for a while. One hand hung at her side, while the other was holding Bai Xi Xi’s small hand.

At the side, Bai Xi Xi was watching the scene where her brother was hugging the pretty sister with her eyes wide.

Her brother said that Pretty Sister is his good friend. Therefore, Bai Xi Xi had never had any other thoughts about Zhang Li Xue.

However, the scene in front of her was giving her another thought.

For example... what if her brother and Pretty Sister get together? This would be a very good idea, right? Then, she could always see this sister whenever she wanted.

As the thought came to her mind, Bai Xi Xi began to anticipate for that to happen.

Bai Qi took a few deep breaths. He finally snapped out of his trance after feeling Zhang Li Xue’s warmth as well as smelling her sweet scent.

He realized that he had acted on impulse and go over the line.

Bai Qi pulled away and looked at Zhang Li Xue with a complicated look in his eyes. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t feeling that good.”

Other than these words, he did not know what else he could say. Bai Qi did not know how he should explain himself.

He did not know what had happened to him. Just that... after meeting Director Xiao and Xiao Wan Zi, Bai Qi felt vulnerable.

When he saw the source of his light, he went over to her without thinking and hugged her.

Just as he had thought, being close to his little fairy would give him strength. However, he also realized that what he did was inappropriate.

Seeing the look on Bai Qi’s face made Zhang Li Xue laugh. She couldn’t help but thought that Bai Qi looked a little cute when he was flustered. “It’s alright.” Her gaze changed and this time, Zhang Li Xue was looking at him with concern. “Doctor Bai, are you alright?”

Their gazes met.

Bai Qi felt a warm feeling spreading from his heart at her worry.

“Mhmm... ”

Zhang Li Xue continued to stare at him for a while longer. “If you wanted to talk about it, I can always listen. I might not be able to help, but I can at least lend you my ear.”

His throat bobbed. But, he couldn’t actually tell this girl how he was threatened by Director Xiao because of someone.

Bai Qi forced a smile. “I’ll be alright.” He shifted his gaze and finally realized that his little sister has been staring at him for a long time.

Suddenly, he was feeling embarrassed.

Bai Qi cleared his throat and spoke, “How are you two together?”

“I was visiting my uncle when I ran into Xi Xi. Since it was almost time for you to clock off, I decided to wait with Xi Xi for you.”

Bai Qi looked at his sister with guilt. He patted her head and spoke, “Sorry. I was supposed to accompany you today. Just wait for a while. I should be able to clock off soon.”
