Love So Sweet

217 She Shouldn’t be Naughty

Zhang Li Xue was happy that she was able to stay longer with Bai Qi.

However, a while later, there was an emergency case and Doctor Bai was called to help.

Seeing this, Zhang Li Xue could only stay in his office and played with her phone while waiting for Bai Qi to return.

After waiting for half an hour, Nurse Tian appeared at Bai Qi’s door with an apologetic look on her face. Zhang Li Xue could already guess what Nurse Tian was going to tell her.

“Miss Zhang, Doctor Bai wanted me to tell you that there’s an emergency and he needed to enter the operation theatre,” Nurse Tian spoke hesitantly. “I’m not sure when he will be done.”

Doctor Bai’s girlfriend came to visit him at work, but unfortunately for her, Doctor Bai had an emergency and was unable to stay with her.

Nurse Tian could guess that Zhang Li Xue should be disappointed.

As someone who has been working at the hospital for years, Nurse Tian had seen many couples break up because of something like this. Therefore, Nurse Tian was worried. After all, Doctor Bai had only started dating not too long ago.

Zhang Li Xue flashed her a smile. “Nurse Tian, I got it. I came over during his work hour. I know that something like this would happen.”

.....

Bai Qi had told her that dating him would be difficult, but she still liked him very much. Zhang Li Xue knew that she will have to get used to this.

Nurse Tian continued to study Zhang Li Xue’s expression, wondering if she was telling the truth.

“Oh, right, Nurse Tian, I hope that you can help me to pass a message to Doctor Bai,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. She took out a brown envelope from her bag and placed it on Bai Qi’s desk. “Please tell him that I’ve left him some documents on the table. Tell him to look at it when he is free and get back to me.”

“Of course. Miss Zhang, don’t worry. I will inform Doctor Bai about it.” Nurse Tian was curious to know about the document. However, she did not ask about it.

Zhang Li Xue adjusted the strap on her shoulder. She picked up the insulated box on the table and pointed to the door. “Then, Nurse Tian, I should go back first.”

“Should I send you downstairs?”

Zhang Li Xue giggled. “There’s no need. I didn’t park that far. Moreover, Nurse Tian, you should be busy with your patients as well. I won’t disturb you.”

After saying those words, Zhang Li Xue turned around and headed downstairs.

She got into her car and finally heaved a long sigh.

She had hoped that she could accompany Bai Qi a while longer. However, heaven decided that she shouldn’t be naughty while her parents were away.

A helpless smile curled on her lips.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li Xue began to drive away.

...

Bai Qi only texted her that he was done with his operation a few hours after that.

Zhang Li Xue was already in bed when he texted her. However, the moment she heard the notification tone, Zhang Li Xue opened her eyes to a slit and stared at Bai Qi’s name. As she was too sleepy to read his text, Zhang Li Xue decided to call him instead.

The call got through after a few rings. Then, Bai Qi’s voice was heard on the other line.

“Li Xue?”

It was late at night and Bai Qi had lowered his voice when he spoke. Hearing his low voice close to her ears made her tremble.

“Have you finished your operation? Are you on a break?” Zhang Li Xue’s voice sounded muffled as she was pressing her cheek on the pillow.

Bai Qi paused when he heard her voice. It did not take him a long time to figure out that her text had woken her up from her sleep.

He made a note not to text her again during this hour. However, Bai Qi knew that if he did not text her back, his girlfriend would be worried.

“Why are you not asleep?”

Zhang Li Xue’s breathing was heard on the other line.

Just when Bai Qi had thought that the girl had fallen asleep, Zhang Li Xue had spoken again. “I was waiting for you.”

His heart skipped a beat. The thought that someone was waiting to hear from him made his heart fill with indescribable happiness. However, his heart also ached, thinking that his little fairy was unable to sleep soundly because of him.

Bai Qi hoped that he was by her side so that he could pull her into his embrace and coax her to sleep.

“Then, go back to sleep,” Bai Qi spoke softly. “Let’s speak again in the morning.”

“Wait!”

“What is it?”

“I left some documents on your table,” Zhang Li Xue spoke.

“Un. I know.” Bai Qi glanced at the envelope on his desk. “Nurse Tian had already told me about it.”

“I have helped you to look around for a new apartment based on your preferences,” Zhang Li Xue said. “You should look at them first. I’ve marked a few apartments that should be close to Xi Xi’s new school as well.”

His lips curled into a helpless smile.

His girlfriend was nice and considerate.

Sometimes, he wondered just what had he done to deserve someone good like Zhang Li Xue.

“Li Xue?”

“Hmm?”

Listening to her cute voice made him smile.

Earlier, he was still tired after staying in the operation theatre for a long time. However, after speaking with his little fairy briefly, all his tiredness seemed to fade away.

“I should be on my day off next Wednesday. When the time comes, do you want to accompany me to look at the apartment? We can go after your working hours.”

Zhang Li Xue always came over to the hospital to visit him. Bai Qi thought that it would be a nice change for him to come over to her office and pick her up.

Even though they were still hiding their relationship from her parents, Bai Qi thought that he could find a way to look for her.

There was another long silence and Zhang Li Xue’s steady breathing could be heard on the phone. Bai Qi wondered if she had fallen asleep again.

“Alright.”
