Love So Sweet

318 It’s a Secret

In the end, the two of them did not go out as early as they wanted to go.

After leaving the room, the couple headed to the coffee house for breakfast. This time, they did not have breakfast with her aunt.

Zhang Li Xue picked up the slightly heavy spoon and watched as her hand fell on the table again. The spoon then fall back into her bowl of porridge and splashed out a little bit.

“Be careful.” Bai Qi picked up a napkin and wiped the splashed porridge.

Seeing that it did not dirty Zhang Li Xue’s clothes, Bai Qi was finally at ease.

Bai Qi looked up at her and finally saw the aggrieved look in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Li Xue bit her lips before she spoke. “The spoon is too heavy.”

There was a hint of shock in his eyes. Bai Qi stared at her hand before he finally figured out what was going on. Subconsciously, the corner of his lips turned up into a smile.

“Don’t laugh.”

.....

Bai Qi let out a chuckle. Then, he forced himself not to make a sound before his girlfriend would be angry again. “I’m not laughing. I just thought that you are too adorable.”

He realized that he had indeed bullied his girlfriend too much in the morning.

But thinking of what happened a few hours ago put him in a good mood.

“Alright. Don’t lift the spoon. I’ll feed you instead.” Bai Qi pushed his plate aside and pulled Zhang Li Xue’s bowl closer. He stirred the porridge and finally brought the spoon closer to her mouth. “Come.”

Zhang Li Xue stared at the spoon and hesitated. “It’s fine. I can still do it myself. It’s just that, I did not expect the spoon to be heavy.”

There were many people having breakfast at this time. It would be quite embarrassing for her if people started to stare. Then, they will be despised for showing too much affection.

The couple stared at each other for a long time.

Seeing that his girlfriend wanted to do things on her own, Bai Qi finally gave her the spoon back.

Bai Qi continued to keep his eyes on her as she ate her porridge. After watching her eat for a while he was finally at ease.

After having their breakfast, the couple took a cab and make a stop at the shop to buy a few things they might need. Then, they headed over to the cemetery together.

Bai Qi promised to pay the driver some extra money if he come over and pick them up after an hour.

Then, holding Zhang Li Xue’s hand, the two of them headed to the cemetery together.

Fortunately, the weather was not as hot as yesterday. The sky was full of clouds.

As they climbed the stairs together, Zhang Li Xue could feel the way his hand tightened against her. She did not know what was going on in his mind at this time.

After a while, they finally reached a spot. Zhang Li Xue turned to look at the name and saw the two familiar names, Bai Yu and Chi Ning. They were his grandparents.

Zhang Li Xue put down the bouquets. Then, she glanced at Bai Qi and saw him standing silently while staring at the names with a dazed look on his face. After a brief hesitation, Zhang Li Xue spoke, “Do you want me to give you a moment?”

It has been a while since the last time he visited. Zhang Li Xue could guess that he would have a lot of things to say to them.

“It’s fine. Just stay.” He looked at his grandparents’ photo and spoke. “Grandpa, Grandma, Xiao Qi come to visit you.” He turned to his girlfriend and smiled. “I bought along my girlfriend. Zhang Li Xue. Grandma, you should have remembered her. The girl who taught me to play basketball in kindergarten.”

Hearing his words made her heart ache. Zhang Li Xue looked at the old picture of the elders and greeted them politely.

Then, she stood at the side as Bai Qi spoke to them, assuring them that he was living very well.

It seemed that there were a lot of things he wanted to tell his grandparents, however, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. However, Bai Qi knew that his grandparents would understand his feelings.

After spending a while at the place, Bai Qi then led his girlfriend to another spot. The place where his parents were buried was not very far from his grandparents.

Zhang Li Xue placed the bouquet and watched as Bai Qi spoke to his parents. She was quickly introduced as his girlfriend.

Bai Qi told his parents that his sister, Bai Xi Xi had grown up and will be attending school soon.

The little girl was quite smart and her teacher would often praise her at school.

He hoped that his parents would be at ease.

Later, he told his father about what the lawyer had told him yesterday. He hoped to clear his father’s name with the lawyer’s help.

After a while, Bai Qi was quiet for a long time. It was as if he had run out of what he wanted to say. But he still hesitated to leave.

Zhang Li Xue grabbed his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

His expression softened as he looked at his girlfriend. Bai Qi stretched his hand and wrapped it around her shoulder. He gave her shoulder a light rub and spoke, “Let’s go back.”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. She turned around and made her first move. After a few steps, she turned around and saw that Bai Qi remained standing there for a long time. Thinking that he still had a few things to say to his parents, Zhang Li Xue walked a little farther and waited for him.

“Mom, Dad, I’m planning to marry my girlfriend,” Bai Qi spoke. “When we return to Y City, I am planning to propose to her. Mom, Dad, I hope to receive your blessings.”

He also told his parents a few other things. After everything ended, Bai Qi walked over to his girlfriend and held her hand. “Come on.”

“What did you tell your parents?”

He touched the tip of her nose. “It’s a secret.” His lips turned into a smile.

Zhang Li Xue raised her brow inquiringly, causing Bai Qi to laugh.

The man helped to push a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Don’t worry. I didn’t say anything bad about you.”
