Love So Sweet

600 Collecting Seashells

As Bai Qi was accompanying his little sister to play by the water, Zhang Li Xue sat under the umbrella to chat with Fang Su Jin.

Seeing that her brother was still around, Zhang Li Xue decided to assign him to buy them some fruit juice. Initially, Zhang Yi Hai wanted to complain. However, seeing that his girlfriend wanted to drink some juice as well, Zhang Yi Hai took his wallet and walk around the beach to find a place where he could get some juice for them.

Zhang Li Xue looked at this scene and thought that it was interesting that she could use Fang Su Jin to get her little brother to do something for her.

She silently decided to use Fang Su Jin’s name the next time she needed something from her little brother.

It did not take Zhang Yi Hai a long time to return with a few coconut juices in his hand.

Zhang Li Xue took a few sips from the juice before deciding to leave Zhang Yi Hai and Fang Su Jin at the side. She walked over to the water, wanting to join Bai Qi and his little sister to swim.

The moment she appeared at the side, Bai Qi started to splash some water on her face. Then, the Bai siblings worked together to pull her into the water and the three of them started to play around together.

As Bai Xi Xi did not know how to swim very well, Zhang Li Xue decided to teach her to swim.

After learning for a bit, Bai Xi Xi decided to play by the sand to collect a few seashells as she had planned. Zhang Li Xue stayed in the water and swim around with Bai Qi. Although they were fooling around, the couple did not forget to keep their eyes on Bai Xi Xi.

.....

Of course, Bai Xi Xi was sensible enough not to go too far from the adult.

With a little shovel in her hand, Bai Xi Xi started to dig in the sand to look for a good seashell. Once they returned home, Bai Xi Xi planned to make a few craft projects using the seashell she found.

If the craft turned up well, then, she will give them to both Zhang Li Xue and Li Qin Yao.

Bai Xi Xi lowered her gaze as she continued to look for the shell. There was a little container at her side where she had kept the seashell she found. In this container, there were already several shapes and sizes of seashells. However, Bai Xi Xi thought that her collection was not enough.

The light was blocked from her as she was concentrating to look for her seashell. Bai Xi Xi raised her head and saw that a little girl probably her age was looking at her inquiringly.

“Hey,” the little girl spoke. “What are you doing?”

Bai Xi Xi retracted her gaze. She did not want to pay attention to this newcomer.

“Are you collecting seashells?” The girl asked.

Hearing her question, Bai Xi Xi quickly held the container of seashells tightly. She was afraid that this girl would take away her collection.

After all, in her previous school, this was what her bully likes to do.

The girl crouched down beside her and looked at her with a smile. Then, she looked into the container and spoke, “Hey, the seashells you collected are quite pretty.”

Bai Xi Xi frowned, wondering if she should run over to her brother’s side.

Then, Bai Xi Xi remembered that this time, even if someone bullied her, her brother and sister-in-law will be around to protect her. She turned around and was relieved to find that she was not too far from them. Moreover, Brother Yi Hai and Sister Su Jin too were around.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xi Xi became a little braver.

Unexpectedly, the other girl stretched her hand and hand over a pretty seashell. “This is for you. Hello, my name is Lu Jiao. Can I help you to collect seashells?”

Bai Xi Xi looked at the girl warily. After a brief hesitation, Bai Xi Xi finally nodded.

Lu Jiao had a bright smile on her face. “That’s great. Then, what is your name? How can I call you?”

“Xi Xi. My name is Bai Xi Xi.”

Lu Jiao looked at Bai Xi Xi and smiled. “Xi Xi, you are cute.”

Her cheek reddened. Bai Xi Xi did not expect that this girl would suddenly praise her.

“Well, you are cute as well,” Bai Xi Xi spoke shyly.

“Xi Xi, how old are you?” Lu Jiao decided to chat with her as she began to help Bai Xi Xi to look for some seashells.

“This year, I’m seven years old.”

“Then, I’m a year older than you. Xi Xi, you can call me sister.”

At the side, Zhang Li Xue and Bai Qi were watching Bai Xi Xi worriedly. They both know that it was not easy for Bai Xi Xi to make friends.

Zhang Li Xue heard from Bai Xi Xi’s teacher that Bai Xi Xi was a quiet student. Other than her deskmate, Bai Xi Xi would not talk to anyone else unless necessary.

Seeing that Bai Xi Xi had started to chat with the new girl and was collecting seashells together made them both feel at ease.

Zhang Li Xue swam close to Bai Qi and spoke, “Do you think Xi Xi is starting to make a friend?”

“Mhm... It seemed like it.” Bai Qi nodded.

“This is good, isn’t it?” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh as she saw the smile on Bai Xi Xi’s face.

Initially, Bai Xi Xi was still keeping her guard up against this girl. However, this girl seemed to be good at making friends. In just a short time, she could make Bai Xi Xi like her.

Zhang Li Xue thought that the ability to befriend someone you only met could also be counted as a talent.

“It will take time, but I trust that soon, Xi Xi will be brave enough to make a lot of friends,” Bai Qi said.
