Chapter 243
243 Bai Qi’s Bed
Zhang Li Xue accompanied Bai Xi Xi and coaxed her to sleep again.
When she came out of the little girl’s bedroom, she found that Bai Qi was waiting for her in the living room. The man tugged her hand and let her sit on his lap.
Seeing that this man was acting like this made her anxious.
Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Xi Xi’s room a few times, worrying that the little girl would suddenly wake up again and saw something that she shouldn’t. But Bai Qi continued to hold her tightly.
Before she could say a word, Bai Qi had already spoken her name.
“Li Xue,” Bai Qi looked at her with a serious look on his face. “It’s late.”
Zhang Li Xue turned to the clock and saw that it was past midnight. Her eyes widened in surprise.
She had planned to head home after spending some time with Bai Qi. However, they both did not expect that Bai Xi Xi would suddenly wake up and found them in the living room.
A while ago, she had texted her mother to tell her that she would be home before midnight.
.....
Zhang Li Xue stood up quickly and started to hunt for her purse and her phone. After a while, she heard Bai Qi’s voice again.
“Do you want to stay here for the night? I don’t want you to drive alone at a time like this. Why don’t you go back when the sun comes up?” Bai Qi walked over to her side and held her hand. “Hmm? Just like the last time.”
Last time...
Zhang Li Xue recalled that she had stayed at the hospital because it was too late for her to drive back. Then, she went home as soon as the sky was a little brighter. Her parents had not noticed that she did not spend the night at home.
However, spending the night at the hospital and spending the night at his apartment were two different things.
Zhang Li Xue was conflicted.
She also did not want to drive home at a time like this.
Who knows what she would encounter on the road?
“Li Xue, stay?”
Zhang Li Xue met Bai Qi’s gaze and was entranced by the gentle look in his eyes. Subconsciously, she nodded. “Un.”
His lips curled into a warm smile. Bai Qi leaned over to peck at his girlfriend’s lips. “Just get a few hours of sleep. I’ll set up an alarm. Then, you can leave before it’s too late.”
Zhang Li Xue nodded again. Thinking that she would be spending a night in Bai Qi’s apartment made her face turn red.
After landing a kiss on the girl’s forehead, Bai Qi stood up, wanting to return to his room. He took a step before turning around again.
Seeing that Zhang Li Xue was arranging the cushion on the sofa made him raise a brow. “What are you doing?”
Zhang Li Xue blinked. “Getting a few hours of sleep?”
Bai Qi smiled helplessly. “You are not sleeping on the sofa.” He waved his hand at her. “Come here.” He watched her hesitate before eventually standing up and walking over to his side. “Go to my room to sleep.”
Zhang Li Xue stared at him in shock. Her face turned into a deeper shade of red.
“What are you worried about?” Bai Qi leaned in and rested his forehead against hers. “Are you afraid of me?”
“No.” Her voice sounded a little meek.
Zhang Li Xue was screaming internally. She realized that she had never stepped into his room before. Now, this man was trying to lure her to sleep on his bed, causing her mind to go wild.
“Then, go sleep in my room?”
Zhang Li Xue nodded slowly.
Seeing the look on her face made him laugh. Bai Qi hugged his girlfriend tightly and whispered. “Don’t think too much. Xi Xi is still around. I won’t do anything to you. Otherwise, we might get caught again.”
Zhang Li Xue blinked.
Doctor Bai, does it mean that if your sister was not around, you would do something?
In the end, Zhang Li Xue followed Bai Qi back to his room.
As it was the first time that she had stepped into the room, Zhang Li Xue could not help but look around a little bit.
Bai Qi’s room was small. There was only one queen-size bed, a wardrobe, a bookshelf, and a study. But everything was arranged nicely and the room was tidy.
When she turned around again, Bai Qi put his hand on her head and smiled.
“Do you need to change your clothes into something comfortable?” Bai Qi asked. “I don’t have anything suitable other than a few shirts.”
“No.” She shook her head. “It’s fine.”
Zhang Li Xue thought that if she had to wear Bai Qi’s clothes, she would really lose her mind.
“Then, go to sleep.” Bai Qi patted her head. “I’ll take a quick shower first.”
Zhang Li Xue watched as Bai Qi grabbed his towel before he went out again.
Then, she stood in the middle of the room with a dazed look in her eyes. After a while, Zhang Li Xue walked over to Bai Qi’s bed and lay under his warm blanket.
Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Li Xue buried her face in his pillow. His scent wafted to her nose, making her feel giddy. She rolled around his bed a bit before finally calming down.
Actually, after having her mood up and down a few times, Zhang Li Xue was quite exhausted. Otherwise, she would not fell asleep on the couch with Bai Xi Xi.
However, at this time, she no longer felt that sleepy.
As she was staring at the ceiling, Bai Qi finally returned to the bedroom. Looking at the man dressed in his lounge pants and t-shirt made her heartbeat accelerate. But she could not tear her eyes away from him.
“Can’t sleep?”
Zhang Li Xue swallowed. “Well, I might not get used to sleeping on your bed.”
Bai Qi smiled. He walked over to the other side of the bed and slid under the blanket. Without giving her a warning, Bai Qi wrapped his arms around her body and patted her head. “Sleep.” His lips pressed on her forehead for a few seconds, “Good night.”
Zhang Li Xue could not help but feel as if Bai Qi was coaxing a little girl to sleep. She raised her head to look at him and noticed the tiredness under his eyes.
It seemed that he really won’t do anything to her.
Then, she decided not to make trouble and bury her head on his chest.
His warm arms and his scent gradually made her relax, making her sleepier.
