Chapter 178
In the end, Bai Qi ate his sandwiches quietly, not daring to look up and look at his little fairy.
The atmosphere was quiet, but both of them did not seem to mind it. They seemed to be enjoying their time in each other’s presence.
Zhang Li Xue especially was enjoying her time peeking at Bai Qi once in a while.
From the corner of her eyes, Zhang Li Xue could see Bai Qi’s tired face.
A faint sigh escaped her.
Zhang Li Xue had always known that being a doctor was not very easy. She had seen how her Uncle Qi Zheng and Auntie Yun’s relationship in the beginning.
However, this job was a noble one. He might have to sacrifice a lot of things for his job.
Even if it would be hard for her to chase after Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue had no intention to give up so soon. She wanted to give herself this chance.
.....
Bai Qi continued to eat his sandwiches slowly.
Although he might appear tired, Zhang Li Xue could not help but think that the way he was eating his food silently was a little cute.
She wanted to tease him but did not want to scare him too much.
It was rare for the talkative Zhang Li Xue to stay silent.
Zhang Li Xue waited until Bai Qi finished his food before she stood up. “Since you have finished your meal, then, I should go back.”
“You’re going back already?” Bai Qi was surprised when he heard her words. He was not expecting Zhang Li Xue to leave very early. He was hoping that his little fairy would stay around for a while longer.
Her sweet laughter reverberated in the room. “Then, do you want me to stay?”
Bai Qi let out a cough.
Seeing the twinkle in her eyes made him feel as if his little fairy was teasing him. However, under the girl’s gaze, Bai Qi could only try to keep his cool.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Zhang Li Xue smiled and decided not to pursue this matter. “You should be tired after that surgery. Bai Qi, you should rest well. I don’t want to disturb you.”
Bai Qi did not mind. After all, his tiredness had almost dissipated the moment he saw her in his office. Zhang Li Xue’s lively attitude was quite contagious. He found that he was in a better mood whenever she was around.
He knew that from then on, he would always recall the moment he entered the office and found his little fairy in his office.
Zhang Li Xue stared at the man for a while before walking to the door. Just as her hand was touching the handle, Zhang Li Xue turned around and asked, “What kind of snacks would you prefer?” She saw the dumfounded look on his face and decided to explain, “Next time, I would know what to bring.”
His expression lit up. Bai Qi was looking forward to the next time Zhang Li Xue would come to visit him again.
“I don’t mind anything. I’m not picky. As long as it is something convenient, I will eat them.”
Zhang Li Xue seemed to be thinking of something. “Un. I know.”
He did not mind whatever food or snacks that Zhang Li Xue would bring with her. As long as it was something that was given by her, he would definitely eat them.
She turned the handle and flashed a smile at Bai Qi again. “Then, I should go now.”
“I will send you back to your car.” Bai Qi would not miss the chance to stay with his little fairy longer.
“No need. You should really take a rest,” Zhang Li Xue said. Seeing the tired look on his face made her heart ache. “It’s not easy for you to have time to rest.”
Although she does want to stay with him longer, Zhang Li Xue knew that she should be considerate. She shouldn’t make trouble for him.
Otherwise, Bai Qi might not allow her to come and visit him at the hospital again.
Zhang Li Xue flashed him a smile. “Bai Qi, I will see you again next time. Let’s not forget that you promised to have another basketball practice with me.”
Bai Qi chuckled. “Of course. I still remember them. Alright then. Remember to text me when you get home.”
“Un. I know.” Zhang Li Xue waved her hand before she left the room. She headed to the elevator and walked through the lobby with a smile on her face.
Zhang Li Xue thought that she had made small progress with Bai Qi and this was good enough.
To chase Bai Qi, she planned to take a small step at a time. Later, Bai Qi would think of her often.
Of course, Zhang Li Xue was unaware that the man she was chasing had always liked her from the moment he saw her in her flower girl dress.
Zhang Li Xue was walking over to the entrance when she suddenly noticed a familiar silhouette not too far away from her.
Her eyes widened when she recognized that person as Mu Zhen Yu.
Instantly, Zhang Li Xue hid behind the wall to avoid being seen.
It was then that she remembered that Mu Zhen Yu had told her that his friend was injured and needed to visit the hospital.
However, she did not expect that Mu Zhen Yu would be going to this hospital.
Seeing that he had stayed around after a long time, Zhang Li Xue wondered just how serious was his friend’s injury.
Her gaze shifted to the person beside Mu Zhen Yu. The woman had her arms around Mu Zhen Yu’s arms as she tried to walk with her injured legs.
Zhang Li Xue realized that she had seen this person before.
Last time, this woman injured herself during Mu Zhen Yu’s company’s ceremony.
Noticing how the woman’s ankle was wrapped in thick gauze, Zhang Li Xue quickly guessed that the friend that Mu Zhen Yu had mentioned was no other than this girl.
From the way that woman was looking at Mu Zhen Yu, Zhang Li Xue was sure that their relationship should not be that simple.
