Love So Sweet

606 Starving the Whole Day?

The two of them decided to visit the restaurant to have dinner together.

Initially, Bai Qi thought that his wife would surely want to visit her favorite restaurant to eat her favorite chicken wings. However, this time, Zhang Li Xue told him that she was craving to eat something else.

After looking at the suggestion on the website, they decided to visit a small restaurant run by an elderly couple nearby their apartment. They looked at the menu and Zhang Li Xue ordered hot and spicy noodles.

The noodles were springy and the soup was great and flavorful. However, looking at the red color of the soup made Bai Qi worry about his wife’s stomach. He knew that Zhang Li Xue did not eat that much for lunch and worried that the spiciness would upset her stomach.

As Zhang Li Xue began to eat, Bai Qi continued to keep her eyes on her. If her eyes started to grow misty and her nose reddened, he will pull that bowl of noodles away from her. Fortunately, he did not see this scene. In fact, Zhang Li Xue seemed to be enjoying her noodles.

After a while, Bai Qi took a sip of her soup and was finally at ease that the noodles were not as spicy as he had thought.

Perhaps, she was really hungry. After all, she only had some egg sandwiches that her mother had sent to her. But Zhang Li Xue ate her noodles quickly and drained the soup.

She then put down her chopsticks with a satisfied look on her face.

Seeing this made Bai Qi chuckle. It was rare to see Zhang Li Xue finishing her meal before him. There was still half of the noodles left in his bowl.

.....

Bai Qi swallowed his food and leaned over to his wife. “Are you sure you’ve eaten something for lunch? Why do you look as if you have been starving for the whole day?”

There was a tinge of pink on Zhang Li Xue’s cheek as she had eaten hot and spicy food. Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Zhang Li Xue batted her eyes innocently and spoke, “Hubby, what are you talking about? I ate the noodles quickly because they are just too good.”

Bai Qi heaved a helpless sigh. He was about to continue eating his noodles when he noticed that Zhang Li Xue has been eyeing his bowl.

Her lips were slightly parted. It seemed as if she was going to droll in a while.

Bai Qi watched his wife for a while and spoke, “Do you want to take a bite?”

Zhang Li Xue’s eyes lit up. “Can I?’

“Of course, you can.” Bai Qi pushed his bowl to Zhang Li Xue and watched as she ate his noodles happily. After a few bites, his wife had this look as if she was unwilling to part with his bowl of noodles. A chuckle escaped him. “If you want to, you can finish the noodles for me.”

Zhang Li Xue hesitated. Bai Qi’s words were tempting her. After staring at the bowl of noodles for a long time, her stomach started to grumble again. However, after a while, Zhang Li Xue pushed the bowl to Bai Qi again. “It’s alright. This is yours.”

“You know that I would not mind.”

“No. I can’t let you be hungry.”

“Then, I’ll order some snacks,” Bai Qi said. He looked at the table beside him and whispered, “Their dumplings looked delicious as well.”

Zhang Li Xue followed his gaze and suddenly thought that she wanted to try them as well.

In the end, Bai Qi ordered another plate of dumplings.

Zhang Li Xue finished his bowl of noodles before eating two pieces of dumplings.

When they left the restaurant, Zhang Li Xue’s stomach was too full, but she had a satisfied look on her face.

Bai Qi was happy that his wife seemed to have a good appetite.

However, because Zhang Li Xue had eaten a little too much for dinner, Bai Qi suggested they walk around the area for a while just to let her digest the food in her stomach.

Only then did they both head back to their apartment.

Bai Qi parked his vehicle at his usual parking spot and turned to his wife. A helpless look appeared on his face when he saw the tired look on Zhang Li Xue’s face.

He reached to touch her hand and pressed his lips at her palm. “Alright. We’re here. Let’s go back to our apartment first. Then, you can sleep.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at her husband with a sleepy look on her face and hummed.

Bai Qi helped his wife to alight from the car and supported her body as they went back to their apartment. Seeing that his wife was tired, Bai Qi sent her to the bathroom for a quick shower while he tidied up the place.

It has been a few days since they returned to the apartment. Of course, Bai Qi wanted to tidy up the space and make his wife comfortable.

When Zhang Li Xue came out of the bathroom, Bai Qi had already changed the bed sheet.

“Hubby...” Zhang Li Xue walked over to his side and wrapped her arms around his waist. “I’m sleepy.”

Seeing the look on her face made him chuckle. Bai Qi led her to the dressing table and let her sit down. “Alright. You can go and sleep. But let me help you to dry your hair first.”

Zhang Li Xue nodded obediently. “Oh.”

The whirring sound and Bai Qi’s touch was making her sleepier. By the time Bai Qi was done with her long hair, Zhang Li Xue was already asleep.

A faint sigh escaped him. Bai Qi stared at his wife for a while with a gentle smile on his face. He put down the hair dryer on the table before leaning over to carry his wife in his arms.

Bai Qi tucked her into bed and kissed her forehead.

He watched as she was sleeping for a while before finally turning around and heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
