Love So Sweet

The little girl was drowsy. But the moment she heard the movement, Bai Xi Xi stood up straight and looked for her brother. She saw her brother walk in and quickly walked over to his side.

“Brother Bai Qi, you’re back!” The little girl looked at him anxiously. “How is my pretty sister? Is she alright?”

The corner of his lips began to twitch when he heard his sister’s question. She saw her brother entering the house, but instead of asking him how he was doing, Bai Xi Xi was asking about her pretty sister.

Not only that his little sister liked to snatch his girlfriend’s attention away. Zhang Li Xue also successfully stole his sister from him.

“Your pretty sister is fine.” Bai Qi stretched his hand and patted his sister’s head softly. “She already went back to her house to rest. But, Xi Xi, why are you still awake?”

“I wanted to wait for you.” Bai Xi Xi was worried about her pretty sister and wanted to find out about her pretty sister’s condition as soon as she can.

She lowered her gaze and saw the cuts on her brother’s hand. Bai Xi Xi’s eyes widened in surprise. She grabbed her brother’s hand and looked at it anxiously. “Brother, you’re injured as well?”

“It’s fine. I was lifting some heavy things and did not pay attention to it.” Seeing that his little sister was concerned about him made him happier.

.....

“Your brother got those cuts from helping your sister,” Qi Zheng spoke. “I already looked at his injury. They should heal in a few days.”

Bai Xi Xi was relieved to hear Qi Zheng’s words.

In her thought, Qi Zheng was her brother’s mentor. Therefore, his medical skill should be better than her brother’s. Since he said that it would heal in a few days, then it must be the truth.

Qi Zheng’s wife, Yun Shu, walked over to the siblings. She exchanged a glance with her husband and spoke, “Bai Qi, it’s already late. Why don’t you and your sister stay at our place tonight?”

Bai Qi turned to his mentor’s wife. “Auntie Yun, it’s fine. The apartment isn’t very far from here. Moreover, I still have a few matters to settle.”

Yun Shu sighed as Bai Qi rejected the offer to stay the night. Her husband’s student has always been very polite and did not like to trouble them when he can.

Thinking about Bai Qi’s life experience made her heart ache. This young man was too independent.

After helping Bai Xi Xi to pack up, Bai Qi finally left the house.

He had let his little sister stay with Qi Zheng’s family and did not want to trouble them further. Moreover, staying at his own place was more comfortable.

Bai Qi drove his vehicle back to the apartment and glanced at his sister who was trying her best to stay awake. As they stopped at the red light, Bai Xi Xi turned to her brother and asked, “Bother, is my Pretty Sister really alright?”

When her brother told her that he was heading to H City because her pretty sister had an accident, Bai Xi Xi could not stop worrying.

She saw the anxious look on her brother’s face and guessed that something bad had happened to her pretty sister. Brother Bai Qi has always been a calm person in any situation.

That was the first time that she had seen her brother so anxious and frightened. His face was too pale and she noticed how his hands were cold and trembling.

Bai Xi Xi wanted to say a few comforting words, but she could not find a word to say. She decided not to cause trouble and listened to her brother obediently.

“Are you worried?” Bai Qi smiled as he watched his sister nod. “Then, when we get home, you have to go to bed quickly. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go and visit her, alright?”

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up. Although her brother had explained her pretty sister’s injury, Bai Xi Xi thought that it was better to look at it herself.

When they get home, Bai Xi Xi quickly prepared herself to go to bed. She wanted to wake up early morning and visit her sister.

Bai Qi watched his little sister and heaved a sigh. He could see that Bai Xi Xi really loved Zhang Li Xue very much.

After his sister had gone to bed, Bai Qi cleaned up the house a little bit before he went to his room.

The moment he entered, Bai Qi walked straight to the bedside table and pulled out the top drawer. A black velvety box was on top of a few books.

Bai Qi reached to take the box and stared at its content for a long time. Gradually, his lips curled into a helpless smile as he looked at the beautiful diamond ring inside the box.

He had actually made plans to propose to his girlfriend after she returned from H City. A few days ago, he had found the place and book the site. He planned to take her out on a date before he was eventually going to pop up with that question.

With Zhang Li Xue’s injury right now, he did not think that it would be appropriate for him to invite her out. The place he wanted to go to was not suitable for her in her condition.

Moreover, it would take Zhang Li Xue around six months before her fractured legs would heal.

But... after what happened in H City, he realized that he did not want to wait for a long time. Life is very unpredictable and he wanted to spend his with the person he loved the most.

Bai Qi stared at the ring for a long time with mixed feelings.

What should he do now?
