Love So Sweet

661 One-Time Thing

When the kids reached home again, Zhang Li Xue could not help but notice that everyone was in a good mood. She went over to her elder son and found out that they were all playing basketball in the park with their aunt’s classmate.

Hearing about this classmate made her a little curious. Moreover, this classmate was a boy.

Zhang Li Xue decided not to mention this matter to her husband, just in case he would start to worry too much.

Bai Xi Xi was his only sister and naturally, Bai Qi would worry about her.

After instructing the kids to take their showers, Zhang Li Xue went to look for He Miao to tell her that she will have to stay the night at their residence.

While the kids were going out just now, Mo Qing Huan called to tell that their business might take a longer time to be done. He Miao will have to stay for a night at the Bai’s residence before they will pick her up again in the morning.

He Miao was quiet for a long time after hearing this news.

Seeing that the little girl did not react made Zhang Li Xue start to worry that the little girl was angry that her parents chose to leave her.

Before Zhang Li Xue could coax the girl, He Miao looked up and smiled. “Aunt, you don’t have to worry about this. I will be fine staying here with you and the others.”

.....

Anyway, He Miao was used to this situation.

Her parents often leave her with her grandmother before they would both go out to play. As long as they would return for her, He Miao would not mind.

Zhang Li Xue looked at the little girl with worry. “Really?”

“Un.” He Miao nodded. “Aunt, I will sleep with Aunt Xi Xi.”

Anyway, she would have time to play around with Bai Xiang and his little brother. Because of this, He Miao did not mind that her parents would leave for one night.

Seeing that the little girl did not mind, Zhang Li Xue finally let the little girl play with her sons. Meanwhile, she went upstairs to look for Bai Xi Xi.

Zhang Li Xue knocked on the door before entering the room with Bai Xi Xi’s permission. When she walked in, Bai Xi Xi was in the middle of reading a book.

Bai Xi Xi saw her sister-in-law entering the room and quickly put down the book in her hand.

“Xi Xi, will it be alright for you to sleep with Miao Miao tonight?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “Her parents won’t be able to return tonight and pick her up.”

“Sure. I don’t mind.”

Zhang Li Xue flashed a smile. She stared at the teenage girl and suddenly recalled her conversation with her eldest son. “Bai Xiang said, you guys were playing basketball in the park with your classmate? A boy?”

“Un. There is a newly transferred student in our class,” Bai Xi Xi said. “Coincidentally, he lives nearby our neighborhood. The kids saw him with his basketball and decided to borrow it from him.”

Bai Xi Xi ignored her sister-in-law’s remark about Fu Chen’s gender. Anyway, she did not think that it was anything important.

Zhang Li Xue heaved a long sigh. “It’s rare to hear you playing basketball with your classmates. I’m just a little curious.”

“Sister-in-law, there is nothing to be curious about. This is only a one-time thing.” Fortunately, her sister-in-law did not ask too much about Fu Chen’s gender.

“Xi Xi, don’t you want to play basketball in a proper team?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

As the person who was coaching Bai Xi Xi to play basketball, Zhang Li Xue was aware of the teenage girl’s skills. However, Bai Xi Xi seemed uninterested to play basketball in high school.

“Sister-in-law, you also know that there is no girl’s basketball team at our school. Even if I want to play, there was no one to play with me,” Bai Xi Xi spoke. “Perhaps, I will consider this when I go to the university.”

Zhang Li Xue’s eyes lit up. “Last time, you mentioned that you wanted to enter B City University. I remember that their girl’s basketball team is quite good.”

In the past, Zhang Li Xue was the captain of the girls’ basketball team. When she was around, the girls’ team’s reputation was better than the boys.

“Mmm... I’m considering B City University for this reason too.”

Zhang Li Xue was excited upon hearing Bai Xi Xi’s words.

The two of them spoke for a little while. Zhang Li Xue recalled that she had to look after the kids and quickly leave the room.

Bai Xi Xi heaved a long sigh upon seeing that her sister-in-law had left. She thought about their conversation and smiled. Bai Xi Xi knew well that her sister-in-law was just worried about her.

In fact, it wasn’t as if she did not want to play basketball in high school.

In the beginning, she was all fired up. Even though there was no girls’ team at school, Bai Xi Xi did not mind building one. However, none of the girls was interested.

Then, there was that one time when she had disguised herself as a boy to play basketball with the boys’ team. She only wanted to look at their skills. With her height, the boys did not suspect anything when she suddenly came to challenge them to a match.

Bai Xi Xi played a one-on-one match against Jian Chi.

However, Jian Chi got too angry when he lost. He wanted to beat her up while accusing her as a cheater.

Bai Xi Xi was in a disguise and she had no intention of letting the boys know who she was.

Fortunately, Bai Xi Xi was quick enough to escape him. Later, she never wanted anyone to know that she played basketball.

Jian Chi was too much trouble and all she wanted was to avoid trouble.
