Chapter 185

185 She was a Little... Jealous.

After stopping at a few floors, the two of them finally reached their floor.

As they walked out, Bai Qi noticed that there was something wrong with his little fairy’s expression. Reaching at the emergency exit, Bai Qi turned to the girl and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Li Xue blinked, pretending as if she could not understand anything.

“You don’t look too good.” Bai Qi stepped closer to her. He shifted the paper bag in his hand to another. Then, he stretched his hand to touch Zhang Li Xue’s forehead.

His sudden movement made her stunned.

Because they were too close to each other, Bai Qi’s masculine scent wafted to her nose. Gradually, her cheek turned a little redder.

“It is a little hot,” Bai Qi commented.

“I’m fine.” Zhang Li Xue took a step back. “It’s probably hot because there were a lot of people in the elevator. It won’t be that warm in a while.”

Bai Qi studied her face before finally deciding not to press on this matter.

.....

Zhang Li Xue scolded herself for being embarrassed too easily. How was she supposed to chase this man if her skin was too thin?

The man only put his hand on her forehead but it could already make her face turn like a cooked lobster.

The pretty nurses and doctors would have a lot of chances to meet him at the hospital. Meanwhile, she could only create some excuse to see him like this.

Seeing how there were a lot of women seemed to be interested in Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue decided that she needed to be more shameless.

Zhang Li Xue climbed up the stairs lost in her own thoughts. As they were nearing the door, Zhang Li Xue spoke breaking the silence between them. “Doctor Bai, it seemed that you are quite popular, huh?”

Her heart felt sour whenever she thought of how the young nurses were looking at Bai Qi.

Zhang Li Xue had to admit that she was a little... jealous.

“What do you mean?”

“Just now, the young nurses were looking at you, right?” Her tone sounded casual. However, Zhang Li Xue was observing Bai Qi’s reaction.

There was a helpless look on Bai Qi’s face. “I would rather not be that popular among them.”

He could still remember how troublesome it was with Doctor Xiao.

“I don’t like them,” Bai Qi spoke.

I only like you.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

However, those were not the words that he could say out loud.

In the dimmed emergency staircase, Bai Qi’s gaze on Zhang Li Xue was a little hot. But before the girl could notice anything, Bai Qi had retracted his gaze. He used his staff ID and gained the access to the rooftop garden.

A light beeping sound was heard.

Bai Qi pushed the door before turning around with a gentle smile on his face. “Come in.”

Seeing that Bai Qi did not want to talk about this matter, Zhang Li Xue decided not to push it.

She retracted her gaze and walked through the door. A light gasp escaped her upon seeing the beautiful garden in front of her.

The space was decorated with bushy bamboo plants. At the side were a few spaces for one to sit down and relax. There were a few lights around to brighten the garden.

It was the first time that she came to this place. Zhang Li Xue had never known that there was a place such as this.

The two of them sat down and Zhang Li Xue began to look around.

“Is it fine for me to be here?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “This place is restricted to staff only, right?”

“It’s alright. I’m the one who brought you here.” Bai Qi placed the paper bag on the table and took out the food container.

There was a rule that the staff could bring their family member to this little garden.

Zhang Li Xue could be considered a family member, right?

Noticing that Bai Qi had begun to arrange the food container on the table, Zhang Li Xue hurriedly helped him out.

She handed him a pair of chopsticks and let him taste the food she brought. While Bai Qi was tasting the food, Zhang Li Xue was watching him with great interest. The girl who decided that she should become more shameless did not bother to hide her gaze.

Although being stared at was making him slightly uncomfortable, Bai Qi decided not to say anything about it.

The clueless young doctor only thought that she was looking at him because she was curious to know whether the taste of the food would suit his preferences.

After taking a bite of the food, Bai Qi looked up again with a hesitant gaze. “Why don’t you eat as well?”

Zhang Li Xue finally retracted her gaze and ate slowly while peeking at a certain someone.

“The food tasted good.” Bai Qi noticed how Zhang Li Xue’s smile widened and cleared his throat. “Where did you get them? Next time, I will bring Xi Xi to taste them as well.”

“I made them.”

His movement halted. There was a hint of surprise in Bai Qi’s eyes as he looked at Zhang Li Xue. Then, his gaze shifted to the food again.

“I borrowed the hotel’s kitchen to prepare them and used their takeaway boxes,” Zhang Li Xue said. Her smile turned gentler. “I’m glad that you liked them.”

It was said that to win a man’s heart was through his stomach.

Zhang Li Xue was working really hard to chase after Bai Qi.

Fortunately, she was someone who knew how to cook and Bai Qi liked the food. Otherwise, she would feel really disappointed.

Bai Qi lowered his gaze to look at the box.

It was then that he realized that there was that logo from The Orchid’s Hotel. It seemed that Zhang Li Xue was telling him the truth.

Bai Qi felt as if something were stuck in his throat.

He could not help but think that Zhang Li Xue was acting strangely again.

The thought came to his mind again, but Bai Qi was hesitant to believe that there were such things.

He lowered his gaze and watched as the girl ate her meal from the corner of his eyes. After a brief silence, Bai Qi broke the silence. “Zhang Li Xue...”

“Hmm?” The girl flashed him a smile.

His throat bobbed. “Why... are you so nice to me?”
