Love So Sweet

692 Sister-in-Law, Thank You

Yun Shu took Bai Xi Xi to her favorite restaurant to have a bowl of noodles.

Bai Xi Xi’s mood improved as she tasted the familiar broth of her favorite noodles.

Her sister-in-law always said that good food could help to improve one’s mood. Bai Xi Xi felt that what her sister-in-law said was right.

Once her stomach was full of delicious food, her grievance quickly dissipated. Even though she had acted coolly in front of others, Bai Xi Xi actually felt unhappy with what Jian Chi had done.

She really could not understand why Jian Chi could not see another person better than him. Moreover, he was not afraid to create trouble for those people who did not want to listen to him.

“Xi Xi, are you feeling better now?” Yun Shu asked once she saw that the bowl in front of Bai Xi Xi was now empty.

Bai Xi Xi lowered her head shyly. “Mmm... Aunt Yun, thank you.” She wondered if her feelings were too transparent for Aunt Yun to notice them.

Qi Yue turned to Bai Xi Xi and the two girls began to chat happily. Qi Yue’s elder brothers were now in college. These days, there were only her and her parents around. Qi Yue was bored and decided to make a plan with Bai Xi Xi to go out and play.

Yun Shu took the girls out to shop at the mall. After buying a few things for the girls, she finally sent Bai Xi Xi back home.

.....

When Bai Xi Xi arrived, Bai Xiang and Zhang Qi Lin were reading their books while Bai Jing Jing planned to escape her playpen once again.

Bai Xi Xi entered the living room and met Bai Jing Jing’s gaze.

The little girl was already halfway through her climb when she saw that she was caught trying to get out of her playpen. She paused for a brief second before flashing her aunt a bright smile. “Aunt! Hug!”

A helpless smile curled on her lips. Bai Xi Xi walked over to the little girl and carried the little girl in her arms. “Jing Jing, what are you trying to do? Didn’t I tell you not to climb the fence again?”

Bai Jing Jing blinked, pretending as if she did not understand her aunt’s words.

Just then, Zhang Li Xue came out from the kitchen with Bai Jing Jing’s bottle. She saw that Bai Xi Xi was carrying the little girl and smiled. “Jing Jing, were you trying to climb out of the playpen again?”

The little girl stared at her mother with an innocent look on her face. Then, she leaned into Bai Xi XI’s embrace and spoke, “Aunt! Hug!”

With the way this girl was acting, it was really difficult to get angry with her.

Zhang Li Xue walked over and handed the little girl her bottle. “Come on. Didn’t you say that you wanted some milk?”

Bai Jing Jing’s eyes lit up upon seeing the bottle. She stretched her arms to her mother, wanting to ask her mother to carry her.

Zhang Li Xue put the baby into the playpen again and let her drink her milk. Then, she turned to Bai Xi Xi and smiled, “Xi Xi, you’re late today. Did you go out with Aunt Yun?”

“Mhm...” Bai Xi Xi nodded. “Aunt Yun and Qi Yue picked me up at school earlier today. Aunt Yun took us to have some noodles. Then, we went shopping for a while.” She raised the shopping bags in her hand with a helpless look in her eyes.

A few days ago, she already bought some new clothes with the money that her sister-in-law had given her. Today, Aunt Yun insisted to buy a few dresses for her again.

Bai Xi Xi thought that her wardrobe was going to explode with clothing soon.

Zhang Li Xue smiled. “It’s good that you are having fun.”

It was then that Bai Xi Xi recalled what Aunt Yun had told her when she came to pick her up at school. Bai Xi Xi looked at her sister-in-law again and spoke, “Sister-in-law, thank you.”

“What are you thanking me for?”

“Aunt Yun said, it was you who asked her to take me out and play.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. “I saw that your mood was not that right after coming back yesterday and thought that you need some time to have fun.”

Bai Xi Xi leaned over and hugged Zhang Li Xue tightly. When she was a little girl, she would not shy away to tell her sister-in-law that she loved her. But now that she was grown up, Bai Xi Xi was a little shy. Moreover, her nephews and niece were also in the living room.

Zhang Li Xue was surprised by Bai Xi Xi’s sudden move. But a few seconds later, she was hugging the teenage girl tightly. She did not know what was going on in Bai Xi Xi’s mind, but Zhang Li Xue thought that it was important to let Bai Xi Xi know that she will always be by her side no matter what.

Bai Jing Jing raised her head and saw that her mother and aunt were hugging. She pulled out the bottle from her mouth and stretched her tiny hands. “Mommy, Jing Jing, hug!”

Just then, Bai Xi Xi’s mobile phone in her pocket rang.

Seeing the name on the screen, Bai Xi Xi quickly excused herself to pick up the phone call. She pressed the phone to her ear and spoke, “Xiao Tong?”

“Xi Xi, it’s good that you are picking up your phone.”

Bai Xi Xi frowned, noticing that Lin Xiao Tong’s voice sounded a little urgent. “Xiao Tong? What is it?”

“Xi Xi, have you looked at the school’s forum?” Lin Xiao Tong spoke. “There were a few photos of you and Fu Chen.”

Her brow furrowed. After listening to Lin Xiao Tong, Bai Xi Xi went into the school’s forum to look at the photos that her friend had mentioned.

Seeing the photos of her and Fu Chen walking together in the park made her frown.

This... It was Jian Chi again!
