Chapter 241
241 Are You Not Angry?
Bai Qi walked stealthily until he arrived by their side. Seeing the two girls sleeping together like this made him sigh helplessly.
At this time, he recalled the text message that Zhang Li Xue had sent him.
She told him that she had something to discuss with him and she would be waiting for him at his apartment.
Bai Qi wanted to head home earlier and see his girlfriend. However, there were emergency cases at the hospital and he needed help in the emergency department.
An accident happened and several cars were involved.
Because the hospital was the closest, the victims were taken there for treatment. The emergency department had been hectic.
When everything was done, he rushed home. But he did not expect to find that the two of them would be sleeping in the living room.
He stood there to watch them for a while. Then, he went over to Zhang Li Xue’s side and touched her shoulder. “Li Xue.”
Zhang Li Xue stirred in her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and finally met Bai Qi’s gaze. Seeing that the man was smiling back at her made her startle. “You...”
.....
“Shh!” Bai Qi put his finger on his lips, signaling her not to make too much noise. Then, he glanced at his little sister and spoke, “Xi Xi is asleep. Let me carry her back to her room first. And then, we can talk.”
It took her a few seconds to remember that she was at Bai Qi’s apartment.
Zhang Li Xue watched as Bai Qi carried his little sister to her bedroom. Then, she stretched up her body and rubbed the spot where Bai Xi Xi had leaned her head on. She glanced at the clock and was surprised to see that it was too late. She quickly grabbed her phone to inform her mother so that she would not worry.
Once she pressed the sent button, Zhang Li Xue heaved in relief.
As she was still thinking of how she should explain her situation to her father later, Zhang Li Xue felt a pair of warm arms around her waist. Then, Bai Qi leaned his chin on her shoulder.
“Sorry,” Bai Qi said. “There was an emergency at the hospital. I had to stay and help.”
Zhang Li Xue turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she leaned over to peck at the corner of his lips. “You worked hard.”
Bai Qi smiled. He could not help but enjoy the feeling of hugging his girlfriend as soon as he arrived home.
Zhang Li Xue remembered the reason she waited for Bai Qi to come home. However, the thought of facing the consequences made her hesitate.
“Have you eaten your dinner yet?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “I made some dishes for you.” She pulled away from his embrace and turned around. “Let me go and reheat them first.”
He could only watch as his girlfriend headed to the kitchen. However, he could not deny that he was a little hungry. Just now, he was too busy to remember his dinner.
Bai Qi watched as Zhang Li Xue reheated the dishes and prepared the table. Then, following her lead, he sat down obediently and ate the food she had cooked.
With his little fairy by his side, Bai Qi could not help but feel that the food tasted especially delicious. He finished everything on the table and cleaned up everything.
Once he was done, Bai Qi joined Zhang Li Xue in the living room and stared at her for a long time.
The man’s gaze made her feel shy, but Zhang Li Xue was more worried about Bai Qi’s reaction after she told him what had happened.
“Alright, tell me what happened.” Bai Qi pulled Zhang Li Xue’s hand and let her sit close to him. “You told me that you have an important matter to discuss.”
Zhang Li Xue bit her lips. Her guilt returned as she looked at the dark circle under Bai Qi’s eyes. This man was already tired after working a long shift, but she had somehow created trouble for him.
“Bai Qi, can you promise me that you will not be angry?”
Bai Qi raised a brow. Although he did not understand what was going on, he could not think of a reason that would make him angry at his little fairy.
“Well, I promise.” He stretched his hand and played with Zhang Li Xue’s fingers.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li Xue told Bai Qi of what happened at the kindergarten. Her eyes continued to observe his every expression. If Ba Qi was unhappy with her, at least, she could ready herself for it.
Surprisingly, Zhang Li Xue could not see a trace of anger on Bai Qi’s face. The man continued to listen to her patiently and did not disturb her once.
“You...” Zhang Li Xue watched him cautiously. “Are you not angry?”
Bai Qi chuckled. He pinched at her nose and smiled. “Didn’t you make me promise not to get angry?”
“Then... you don’t mind what I did?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “Bai Qi, because of my impulsive action, Xi Xi could no longer attend that kindergarten.”
Bai Qi did not answer her but continued to stare at her face for a long time. “Li Xue, if the headmaster let someone bully my little sister, then, I also did not want to let Xi Xi attend such a place. I want Xi Xi to study well, but I also wanted her to have a happy childhood. If that place made her sad, then, I don’t want her to study there. Even if the headmaster apologized and begged Xi XI to stay, I won’t want her to stay.”
Zhang Li Xue was relieved to hear his answer.
“I won’t blame you for what you did.” Bai Qi smiled. “Li Xue, I also know that you did everything because you really cared for Xi Xi.” He leaned over and hugged her tightly. “I haven’t thanked you for what you did. Li Xue, thank you for standing by Xi Xi’s side and protecting her.”
Zhang Li Xue leaned her head on Bai Qi’s chest. Then, she told him about the choices that her mother had suggested.
“If your mother thinks that it would be better for Xi Xi to go to that school, then, I’ll listen to your mother,” Bai Qi spoke. “She should know this city better than me.”
“Then, I’ll talk to my mother about it.”
“Thank you.” Bai Qi leaned over to kiss her on the forehead. He could not stop hugging her tightly.
The couple spent their time cuddling in the living room.
With his girlfriend in his arms, Bai Qi could not stop himself from kissing her a few times.
However, the couple did not expect that Bai Xi Xi would suddenly come out of her bedroom.
“Brother Bai Qi?” Bai Xi Xi rubbed her eyes. She raised her head and saw that her brother was kissing her Pretty Sister on the lips. A loud gasp escaped her.
