Love So Sweet

240 You also Love Xi Xi?

Zhang Li Xue sent Fang Su Jin back to her house.

Then, she took Bai Xi Xi back to the Bai sibling’s apartment.

After what happened, Zhang Li Xue thought that she should at least stay and explained to Bai Qi what had happened. She wanted to apologize to him for what happened before they could figure out what they should do next.

Fortunately, Bai Qi was not going to work the night shift.

Zhang Li Xue only told him that she will be waiting at his apartment to accompany Bai Xi Xi and that she had something to discuss with him.

Perhaps, she was too anxious that Bai Qi would be upset. After giving it a thought, Zhang Li Xue decided to prepare some dishes and coax the man with the food she made.

Her phone rang just as she had finished cooking.

Zhang Li Xue saw her mother’s name on the caller ID and quickly picked up the call. “Mommy.”

“Li Xue,” Li Qin Yao spoke her daughter’s name softly. “Are you accompanying Bai Qi’s little sister?”

.....

“Un. Bai Qi is still at the hospital. I think I’ll be staying for a while until he returns,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I need to explain to him what happened and apologize. After that, I’ll come home.”

“This is good too. That little girl should be upset after what happened. It’s good that you are accompanying her.”

Last time, Bai Qi had mentioned his little sister. The thought that the little girl would often stay home alone and wait for her brother to come home made her worry.

“Bai Qi’s little sister sounded like a sweet girl,” Li Qin Yao said. “Later, you should also introduce her to me.”

“Mommy, I know.”

Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh. “I already talked to a few people. You don’t have to worry about the headmaster. He won’t be staying too long at the kindergarten.”

Zhang Li Xue’s eyes lit up. She had always thought that someone like the headmaster was not suitable to stay as a headmaster. Who knew just how many students and parents had to suffer some grievance because the headmaster was too biased?

“However, I also had some suggestions,” Li Qin Yao continued. “If Bai Qi is willing, I can help his little sister to go to a better school. He did not have to worry about the fee. As long as his little sister studied hard, then she could get a waive.”

“Really?”

“Uh-huh. Later, I will send you some information on the kindergarten. You can let him see if it is suitable for him and his little sister.”

Zhang Li Xue was more at ease with her mother’s help. “Mommy, thank you.”

“Un. I’m also doing this for you.”

The mother and daughter chatted briefly before they hang up.

Then, Zhang Li Xue turned to Bai Xi Xi who was doing some practice books in the living room.

Bai Xi Xi was very hardworking.

Zhang Li Xue thought that the headmaster was crazy to defend a bully rather than protect a good student like Bai Xi Xi. Someone like Bai Xi Xi deserved to go to a better school where she could learn properly.

Bai Xi Xi looked up as if noticing that someone was looking at her. She saw that her Pretty Sister was staring at her and blinked. “Pretty Sister, what’s wrong?”

Zhang li Xue heaved a sigh. She walked over to the little girl’s side and put on a smile. “XI Xi, the food is ready. I don’t know when will your brother get home. Why don’t we have something to eat first?” Seeing that the little girl was hesitating, Zhang Li Xue quickly added, “You are still growing. To learn properly, you have to eat on time. This way, it will help you to learn better.”

Hearing this reason, Bai Xi Xi quickly agreed.

She closed her workbook and followed Zhang Li Xue to the dining room.

Zhang Li Xue helped to serve some food to the little girl and accompanied her to eat. Seeing that the little girl liked the braised ribs she cooked, Zhang Li Xue added a few more to her bowl.

While having their dinner, both of them did not mention the unhappy event at the kindergarten.

“Pretty Sister, your cooking is really delicious.” Bai Xi Xi put down her chopsticks and patted her bulging stomach.

Zhang Li Xue laughed at the little girl’s compliment. “Xi Xi, thank you. Go and sit in the living room. I’ll clean up a little bit.”

“Pretty Sister, I’m big enough to wash my own dishes,” Bai Xi Xi said.

Her expression grew softer. “Then, Xi Xi can wash your own dishes. Let’s leave the food on the table for your brother, alright?”

The little girl nodded. She carried her dirty bowl and cutleries to the kitchen and washed them carefully. Once she was done with the chores, Bai Xi Xi went back to the living room to watch the television.

Zhang Li Xue went over and sat by her side. After a while, she began to notice that Bai Xi Xi has been peeking at her. “Xi Xi, what’s wrong?”

Bai Xi Xi hesitated. However, she could not help but feel sad whenever she recalled the words that Yan Ning had said to her.

“Pretty Sister, is it wrong that I don’t have my parents?”

Zhang Li Xue’s felt a lump in her throat. “Of course, not. Xi Xi did not do anything wrong.” She wrapped her arms around the little girl’s body and coax her. “I don’t know why that boy would say those words to you, but you should not listen to his words.”

Bai Xi Xi lowered her head. “He also said that my parents did not love me. That was why they left.”

“Of course, they love you. They did not leave because they did not love you. But life and death are something that a person could not control. If they were given a choice, they would not want to leave you.” Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath. She also did not know whether she could coax the little girl. “Xi Xi, your parents might no longer be around, but you still have many people who love you. Your brother and I love you very much.”

Bai Xi Xi looked up with her misty eyes. “Pretty Sister... You also love Xi Xi?”

Zhang Li Xue tightened her hug. “Xi Xi is such an adorable girl. How can I not love you?”

The little girl thought of her words. Then, she held Zhang Li Xue tightly as if she did not want to let her go. The two girls were hugging each other tightly and Zhang Li Xue continued to coax the little girl.

When Bai Qi arrived home, he was greeted by the sight of his girlfriend and his little sister sleeping on the couch, hugging.
