Love So Sweet

312 Taste it Again to Confirm

After walking around the neighborhood and showing his girlfriend around the house where he had stayed for more than ten years, Bai Qi decided to take his girlfriend for lunch.

The temperature in S Country was a bit hot. Therefore, he took her to the nearest mall where there would be air conditioning around.

The couple alighted from the vehicle as it pulled over in front of the mall’s entrance. Bai Qi paid the fare and turned to his girlfriend. Instead of holding her hand and pulling her inside the building, Bai Qi pulled out some tissue paper and dabbed the sweats on his girlfriend’s face.

His movement made her halt.

Zhang Li Xue looked up and saw the serious look on Bai Qi’s face. Bai Qi was so careful and gentle wiping the sweats on her face.

An indescribable feeling filled her heart. Her heart was beating furiously and Zhang Li Xue thought that it might burst anytime soon.

Her Doctor Bai really doted on her very much.

The smile on her face was really hard to conceal.

“Alright. It’s done.” Bai Qi took a step back to take a proper look at his girlfriend’s face.

.....

With one swift move, Bai Qi threw the crumpled tissue into the bin at the side. He watched as the paper went into the bin before looking at his girlfriend again. “Come on.”

Zhang Li Xue lowered her gaze to look at their intertwining hands. His hands were bigger than hers and she liked how warm his hands felt.

Lunch hour ended a while ago and therefore, there were not a lot of people visiting the restaurant around this time. After looking around, the couple decided to have their meal at a cafe.

After they ordered, Bai Qi grabbed her hand and started to wipe them with a wet wipe.

“It’s done.”

She lowered her head to look at her hands.

Zhang Li Xue began to think that perhaps, Bai Qi had gotten used to looking after Bai Xi Xi, that he became really good to look after other people.

But... as she recalled how this sweet man had suffered alone after his parents passed away, Zhang Li Xue thought that she also wanted to take good care of him.

She wanted to spoil him and give him warmth.

“What are you thinking about?” Bai Qi asked upon noticing the dazed look on her face.

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Li Xue then spoke, “Bai Qi, you are very good to me. But why do I feel as if you are looking after me as if I’m a kid.” Zhang Li Xue laughed. A few seconds later, she put a serious look on her face and spoke, “Don’t pamper me too much. Otherwise, I can’t bear to be apart from you.”

It was just that, she was worried that she would get used to this man’s treatment that later, it would become hard for her to be independent.

“Then, what other choice do you have?”

Zhang Li Xue raised a brow when she heard his words.

Bai Qi leaned over and tapped her nose. “You can only stay by my side forever.” His grip on her hand tightened. “You are not allowed to leave.”

He hoped that his little fairy would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Her expression stiffened. When she finally snapped out of her trance, Zhang Li Xue could not help but laugh. His words were a little cheesy, but she liked them very much.

She looked around and saw that the cafe was empty. Zhang Li Xue gathered her courage and leaned over to kiss Bai Qi’s lips.

“You must have eaten a lot of honey. Your mouth is especially sweet today.”

“Are you sure?” A mischievous smile curled on his lips. “Why don’t you go ahead and taste it again to confirm?”

Zhang Li Xue stared at him in disbelief. A few seconds later, she lowered her head shyly. “Doctor Bai, you are so bad.”

Recently, Bai Qi became really good at teasing her.

When she looked up again, Zhang Li Xue realized that the server was standing beside their table with a tray of food in her hand. The smile on her lips was a little awkward.

The server was on her way to serve the food when she suddenly saw the couple kissing.

Her movement halted and she did not know whether she should walk over or not. The couple was very sweet to each other. It doesn’t seem appropriate for her to go over and disturb them.

Zhang Li Xue met the server’s gaze and smiled. Seeing this, the server quickly served the food on the table.

Zhang Li Xue grabbed her cutleries and began to eat. After walking around for a while, her stomach was asking for food.

“Where should we go after this?” Bai Qi asked. “If you are tired, should we go back to the hotel and rest?”

“I’m not tired,” Zhang Li Xue spoke casually. She leaned over and smiled. “It’s rare that we get the chance to visit here. Let’s just walk around a bit.”

As long as Bai Qi was by her side, Zhang Li Xue did not feel tired at all.

Zhang Li Xue thought about it for a while and spoke again, “Let’s walk around the mall. We should buy some souvenirs for Xi Xi and everyone else.”

Bai Qi smiled helplessly. His little fairy never forgets about his little sister.

The two of them paid for their meals before heading out to walk around the mall together. Other than Bai Xi XI, Zhang Li Xue did not forget to buy some souvenirs for her family members as well.

After choosing a few items, Zhang Li Xue turned to Bai Qi and gave him a look over.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Qi naturally saw the strange way that his girlfriend was looking at him.

Instead of answering, Zhang Li Xue walked around the shop and finally pulled out a shirt from the hanger. She looked at the shirt and then at Bai Qi again. “I think this color is suitable for you.”

Bai Qi raised a brow. “You’re going to buy it for me?”

“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “I have never seen you wearing this shade of blue before.” Worried that Bai Qi was going to decline, Zhang Li Xue then came out with an idea. “Then, you can also buy me something. I also want a gift from my boyfriend.”

A doting smile curled on his lips. Bai Qi stretched his arms and patted his girlfriend on her head. “Alright.”
