Chapter 203
As Bai Qi started to wear his apron and hold his knife, Zhang Li Xue stood by his side to watch him as he started to make his preparation.
Initially, Zhang Li Xue volunteered to help with washing the vegetables. However, Bai Qi had convinced her to sit down and let him do all the work.
This was still considered a date and Bai Qi still wanted to impress his girlfriend with his cooking skills.
Noticing that a certain someone was staring at him as he worked made Bai Qi feel a little awkward. However, he could not deny that he enjoyed being the center of Zhang Li Xue’s attention.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Bai Qi asked.
Zhang Li Xue propped her chin with both hands. “Bai Qi, I just noticed that your knife skills are quite good.” The knife he used was quite sharp. He could cut the chicken with one swift move. Finding the chicken joint did not seem too difficult for him.
If it was her, she would probably take a longer time. She was good at eating chicken wings and not so much at cutting them.
Bai Qi laughed. “Then, should I teach you?” He put the knife on the board and waved his hand at her. “Come here.”
.....
A smile turned on her face. Zhang Li Xue walked over to Bai Qi’s side and thought that she liked it when Bai Qi called her over to his side.
The man pulled her over to the sink and helped to wash her hands.
Zhang Li Xue thought that even the way Bai Qi was helping to wash her hands seemed very skillful. His fingers rubbed through the corner of her fingers softly. Then, he took a towel and helped to dry her hands.
Even the act of washing her hands and drying them could seem so intimate...
By this time, Zhang Li Xue had long forgotten that Bai Qi was going to teach her to cut the chicken. Her attention was on his large hands. Just like the owner, his hands looked quite good-looking as well.
“Hold this.” Bai Qi passed the knife handle to her. Then, he slowly taught her to feel the joints and how to cut them smoothly.
It was later that Zhang Li Xue found that she was in someone’s embrace again. This person was taking advantage to hug her again.
“Doctor Bai, what are you doing?”
“I’m teaching my girlfriend to cut the chicken.”
Zhang Li Xue chuckled. She turned her head sideways to look at Bai Qi. “Is this the way you teach people?”
His lips turned into a smile. Bai Qi rested his chin on his girlfriend’s shoulder and inhaled the scent of her shampoo. “Only when I’m teaching my girlfriend.”
Zhang Li Xue looked at him speechlessly. However, a few seconds later, a smile broke out. She liked this flirtatious Doctor Bai very much.
“Li Xue.”
“Un.” Zhang Li Xue put down the knife in her hand as she allowed the man to hug her.
“Are you not willing to let Xi Xi know about us?”
Zhang Li Xue thought about it for a while. “It’s not that I’m not willing to let her know. But, Bai Qi... I’m a little worried.”
Bai Qi raised a brow.
“Xi Xi has been with you since forever. According to you, you are the closest person she has,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I’m just worried that Xi Xi would think that I’m stealing her brother away when she found out that we’re dating. It’s better to wait and see first.”
She liked Bai Xi Xi very much and did not want to hurt that little girl. It was better to let Xi Xi get used to the situation first before breaking the news.
His lips curled into a helpless smile. Although he had never talked to Bai Xi Xi about dating, Bai Qi had a hunch that Bai Xi Xi would not mind it if she found out that he has been dating her pretty sister.
After all, Bai Xi Xi seemed to like Zhang Li Xue very much.
Whenever she’s around, Bai Xi Xi seemed to have forgotten about her brother.
Zhang Li Xue p turned to peck Bai Qi on his cheek. “Alright. I’m done learning. You should continue and cook. I’m hungry.” She escaped his embrace and stood at the side after washing her hands.
Bai Qi naturally did not have the heart to let his girlfriend starve.
Just as soon as Bai Qi was picking up the knife again, the bedroom door was pushed open and Bai Xi Xi came out.
The little girl stared at Zhang Li Xue with a puzzled look on her face. In a few seconds, her eyes lit up. “Pretty Sister!”
Zhang Li Xue turned around. There was a hint of guilt on her face when she looked at Bai Xi Xi. Zhang Li Xue was aware that if she was a few seconds too late, the little girl would find Bai Qi and her hugging in the kitchen.
“Xi Xi, you’re awake?”
“Un.” Bai Xi Xi nodded. Her cheek turned pink as she looked at Zhang Li Xue sheepishly. “I didn’t expect that I would fall asleep in the car.”
Bai Xi Xi was surprised to wake up in her bed. It did not take her a long time to figure out what happened. She was too tired after practicing basketball and going to shop.
“Fortunately, you are still around,” Bai Xi Xi said.
Zhang Li Xue laughed softly. “Well, your brother asked me to stay for dinner. Xi Xi, I’ll stay here and have dinner with you and your brother, alright?”
Bai Xi Xi turned to her brother and gave him a look of admiration. She was glad that her brother had made her Pretty Sister stay longer.
“That’s good. Brother Bai Qi, Pretty Sister liked eating chicken wings very much.” Bai Xi Xi spoke to her brother. “Remember to make a lot of them, alright?”
The little girl’s words made them both laugh.
Bai Qi turned to his girlfriend again and teased, “You see, even Xi Xi knows just how much you like chicken wings.”
