Love So Sweet

Zhang Li Xue searched on her phone and found out that the city was cooperating with some local companies to hold a festival to promote their business. Some of them were big names.

There were a lot of stalls and activities that were suitable for adults and kids.

What attracted the people to visit this event was the lucky draw.

It was said that the grand prize was a vacation package to F Country for two. The participant also had the chance to win a television and other household appliances.

The rules seemed pretty simple. It was not strange that this event would attract a lot of people to come.

Zhang Li Xue was too busy looking at her phone. When she looked up again, she realized that Bai Qi and her were separated by the crowd of people.

The tall man stood in the middle of people to look for her. Seeing the worried look on his face, Zhang Li Xue slipped through the people to get to Bai QI’s side.

Just as she reached his side, Zhang Li Xue held the corner of his shirt and gave it a gentle tug.

.....

Bai Qi lowered his head and was finally at ease upon seeing that his little fairy was by his side. There were too many people around and he was worried that he might lose her.

“I’m sorry,” Zhang Li Xue quickly apologized. “I wasn’t paying attention to the surrounding. I did not notice that you were walking farther ahead.”

Seeing her pitiful face made him weak. Bai Qi could never get mad at her for such things. “It’s alright. I didn’t expect that there would be too many people as well. Fortunately, I didn’t lose you. Come on. The restaurant is quite close.”

“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. She trailed after Bai Qi but in just a few seconds, they were separated again.

This time, a mother was pushing a baby stroller in one hand while holding her shopping bags in another.

Zhang Li Xue wanted to let her pass through but because of this, she got separated from Bai Qi again.

Fortunately, he was not very far away.

Zhang Li Xue stared at his tall figure which was a few steps away from her and blamed her short legs.

Or could it be that Bai Qi was too tall?

Picking up her pace, Zhang Li Xue rushed over to Bai Qi’s side. Before they could be separated by the crowd again, Zhang Li Xue quickly held his wrist.

Bai Qi lowered his head to look at their hands when he felt her warm palm against his wrist. He raised his head again and looked at the little fairy in shock.

Zhang Li Xue shot him an embarrassed smile. “Let’s just walk like this for a while. There are too many people. I didn’t want to get separated from you again.” She hesitated and added, “If this makes you uncomfortable, I can just hold the corner of your shirt?”

His throat bobbed. Bai Qi removed her hand from his wrist before intertwining their hands together. “If you don’t mind, let’s just hold hands. This way, it would be easier for us to walk around.”

Zhang Li Xue was a little surprised when Bai Qi held her hand tightly. However, she listened to his explanation and thought that what he said made sense.

“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Let’s go now.”

Bai Qi heaved a breath of relief when his little fairy was not angry at him. He gripped her hand tightly and walked slowly through the crowd.

He wanted to walk a little longer while holding her hand.

After walking for a short distance, the two of them finally arrived in front of the restaurant. The waitress greeted them at the entrance and ushered them in.

Bai Qi stared at his empty hand and regretted that he did not get to hold Zhang Li Xue’s hand a little longer. His little fairy’s hand was very soft and small as compared to him.

As he thought of the short moment they were holding hands, his face grew slightly red.

“It’s getting hot, isn’t it?”

“Huh?” Bai Qi stared back at Zhang Li Xue in puzzlement.

“Your face is red. Isn’t it because of the weather?”

Bai Qi cleared his throat and looked away. “You’re right. The weather is getting hotter these days. Moreover, there were a lot of people just now.”

“Let’s order something cold,” Zhang Li Xue suggested. “Would you like some ice cream?”

“Uh-huh. That’s good too.” Bai Qi pulled the menu card closer and lowered his gaze. He quickly reminded himself not to think too much. Otherwise, his little fairy would find out his feelings.

The waitress walked over to their table and the two of them began to order some food.

His lips turned into a smile when he heard Zhang Li Xue order a plate of her favorite chicken wings. He wondered just what is it that she liked so much about them? It seemed that she would never get bored of eating them.

After confirming their order, the waitress walked away, leaving them to wait for their food.

Zhang Li Xue leaned over in her seat and whispered, “Tell me the truth... Bai Qi, did you take me here because you know that I liked chicken wings?”

His laughter echoed. “I heard from others that this restaurant’s roasted chicken wings are the best. I’m not sure if you like them.”

“Actually, I always wanted to visit this restaurant when it first opened a few months ago,” Zhang Li Xue said. “However, I never get the chance to come over until today.” She began to look around and sighed. “This place looked very pleasing with the plants.”

Bai Qi thought that looking at the person in front of him was more pleasing than looking at the plants.
