103 Zhang Li Xue was Hurt

His movement halted.

Bai Qi was not expecting that the girl would straightaway ask him while he was still trying to prepare himself for what she should say to her.

His expression turned a little awkward.

But, he shouldn’t be too surprised. The little fairy he knew had always been a straightforward person.

Zhang Li Xue shifted her gaze when the man did not answer her question right away.

Actually, she could tell that Doctor Bai was uncomfortable seeing her at his apartment. However, because of Bai Xi Xi, Zhang Li Xue chose not to say a word about it.

Although they did not know each other for too long, Zhang Li Xue had always thought that Doctor Bai was someone she could get comfortable with. It was as if she had known him for a while.

It was a feeling that she did not understand.

This was the reason she did not mind helping him and his sister around.

However, if he was uncomfortable with her presence... then, she could only keep her distance from him. Perhaps, from the beginning, Doctor Bai Qi only thought of her as his patient and nothing else.

She lowered her head, not daring to meet the man’s gaze. “If you don’t like me coming to your place, then, you can say it,” Zhang Li Xue said.

“It’s not that,” Bai Qi spoke quickly. “I didn’t dislike you.” He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. “I’m sorry if I gave you that impression. But, truly, I did not dislike you. Miss Zhang, you are very kind. You have come to help my sister even though you have only known us for a short time. And I’m really grateful for your help.”

Zhang Li Xue felt the heavy feeling in her heart turn lighter.

It was good that he did not dislike her.

“It was just that,” Bai Qi continued. “I just thought that someone like you are unsuitable to come over to my small apartment. After all, I’ve heard it from Doctor Qi. That you are the princess of the reputable Zhang family in Y City.” His voice faltered as he spoke.

Zhang Li Xue stared at the man in front of her before speaking again, “Doctor Bai, are you worried that I would look down on you?”

If it was not because of this reason, Zhang Li Xue could not think of anything else.

“I won’t look down on you,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Actually, I think you’re pretty amazing. It shouldn’t be easy for you to look after your sister on your own. You... worked hard to get to where you are now. It’s not easy being a doctor. And I look up to you for that.”

A faint smile curled on his lips.

Bai Qi would never think of his little fairy that way. She never looked down on him even when she found out that he had once bullied her. Back then, she had accepted his apology and had even continued to play with him.

Bai Qi was truly grateful for knowing her during his childhood.

“I don’t think that you would look down on me. But with your identity, I thought it would not be proper for you to come over to this place.”

The truth was that he was not confident to have Zhang Li Xue by his side. The girl was such an excellent person as compared to him.

“My identity? What identity?”

The moment Bai Qi heard her words, he could quickly detect that something was wrong. Could it be that he had said something that had upset her? Bai Qi could not understand what was going on.

“I thought that my identity is your friend. What is proper and not proper about visiting a friend’s house?”

Zhang Li Xue understood that everyone in this world had their difficulties. Therefore, she would not look down on her friend, especially it those who worked hard to get a better life.

Therefore, Zhang Li Xue was hurt upon hearing his words.

“Doctor Bai...” Zhang Li Xue chuckled as she adjust the straps on her shoulder. ” I thought that after sharing a few meals together, I can be considered your friend. But perhaps, I am the only one who had thought that way.”

Bai Qi opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, his brain went blank at this sudden change and he did not know what he should do about it.

“Actually, I could understand if you tell me that I shouldn’t come over to your place because we were both unmarried women and men. I would understand if you were worried about our reputation. People have ears and eyes everywhere and they would talk. But not this.”

Her throat bobbed.

The words Bai Qi had said to her earlier echoed in her head and it was making her upset.

Because of her identity as her parents’ daughter, it was improper for her to befriend someone like Bai Qi. But, she had really considered him as a friend. He had helped her a few times and offered her his snacks in the middle of the night. Even her uncle Qi Zheng had a good opinion of him.

Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Alright. I understand your concern. Doctor Bai, I won’t be coming to your place again.”

Bai Qi was rooted on the spot.

He wanted to tell her that those were not what he meant. However, he found that he could not refute her. After all, that was what he had in his mind, right?

Bai Qi could only watch as his little fairy looked at him with a hurt look on her face without doing anything.

The girl turned around and entered her AUDI. Then, she drove away without sparing another glance at him.

His heart grew heavier the moment he could no longer see her vehicle.

Bai Qi knew that he should have stopped her from leaving. It was not easy for him to return to Y City and see her again.

However, there was a little voice in his heart telling him that perhaps, it was better this way.

An excellent person such as Zhang Li Xue shouldn’t be around him.

He get to spend a short time with her and that was enough. He would be satisfied with everything. At least, he could always look back on the short moment and smiled about it.
