286 You are Bai Qi, Right?
After Bai Qi had left, Li Qin Yao went to look for her husband in his study. She walked over to his table and hugged him from behind. Her lips landed on his cheek. “Hubby, thank you.”
Zhang Yu Han looked at his wife speechlessly. “What are you thanking me for? I already promised that I would give that boy a chance. I am not going to go back on my words.”
Li Qin Yao merely smiled.
She knew how hard it was for her husband to accept that their daughter now had a boyfriend. Seeing how he really tried to get along with Bai Qi made her happy.
Li Qin Yao leaned on the table and asked. “What do you think about Bai Qi?”
“I guess... he’s not that bad.” Zhang Yu Han lowered his head and coughed. “I heard that his grandparents were friends with great-grandpa. Unfortunately, his family had passed away, leaving him and his sister alone.”
Zhang Yu Han thought that the Bai siblings were very pitiful to have lost their family members. They don’t have anyone else other than each other.
He especially thought that Bai Xi Xi was pitiful. Because of that, he decided not to make it hard for Bai Qi during their meal and even let the young man stay a night at his place.

“Doctor Bai, you seemed to be in a very good mood,” Nurse Tian spoke as the man stopped by the nurse’s station.
Bai Qi flashed a smile at the elder nurse.
“I think you have been smiling a lot after getting together with Miss Zhang,” Nurse Tian teased.
“Nurse Tian, are you implying that I did not smile a lot before?”
“Exactly.” Nurse Tian nodded. “In the past, you often had your head down while looking at the patient’s chart. In the past, the younger doctor would be wary of you. You did not mix along with everyone that much.”
Bai Qi naturally could not remember if he had done any of those in the past.
“These days, you have become more approachable,” Nurse Tian said. “I heard that the younger doctors were looking up on you.”
Bai Qi stayed at the nurse station and chatted with Nurse Tian for a while. He could only shake his head as he thought of the nurse’s words.
He went back to his office and started to work on the report. Just then, the phone on his table chimed.
Bai Qi glanced at his phone and smiled when he saw his little fairy’s name. He clicked on her name and saw a message from her.
His girlfriend wanted to know when he would be returning home.
After confirming that he did not have to work overtime, Bai Qi placed his phone back on the table. His eyes shifted to the clock. At this time, he was looking forward to heading home and finding Zhang Li Xue.
Bai Qi did not wait for too long to gather his stuff after his shift was over. He exchanged a few words with his colleagues before heading home.
However, instead of going straight back to the apartment, Bai Qi made a detour to stop at a cake house nearby the apartment.
Other than chicken wings, his girlfriend seemed to like eating cakes and pastries.
Since she had prepared dinner for him at home, Bai Qi thought that it would be good if he surprised her with some of her favorite food.
He chose a few cakes at the counter before making his payment.
Then, he held the box in his hand and headed out. However, his steps halted when he saw a familiar face in front of him.
Bai Qi quickly retracted his gaze and walked out, pretending that he did not know the other person.
This was not the first time that Bai Qi had seen Mu Zhen Yu after he returned to Y City. However, this was the first time that they had come face to face.
Bai Qi had thought that Mu Zhen Yu would not be able to recognize him. After all, the last time they saw each other was in kindergarten. A long time has passed and he had changed a lot.
Just as he was about to take another step, Mu Zhen Yu had already stood in front of him, blocking his path.
Mu Zhen Yu frowned, as he tried to remember something. “Bai... Qi? You are Bai Qi, right?”
Bai Qi pursed his lips and frowned. He wanted to continue pretending that he did not know this man, but Bai Qi realized that it was impossible. Sooner or later, he will have to face this man again. He was now with Li Xue and his girlfriend seemed to be on friendly terms with this man.
“Don’t you remember me?” Mu Zhen Yu spoke again when Bai Qi continued to keep quiet. “It’s me. Mu Zhen Yu. We went to the same kindergarten.”
Bai Qi stood up straight and smiled. “It’s you. Mu Zhen Yu. I’m surprised that you can still remember me.”
“After all, we used to play together when we were kids.” Mu Zhen Yu took a step back as he gave Bai Qi a lookover. “Wow, your face did not change that much. But... when did you return to Y City? I thought that you and your family had moved to S Country?”
“Mmm... I came back a few months ago,” Bai Qi said. “Are you living around here as well?”
Mu Zhen Yu chuckled. “No. My office is somewhere nearby.”
Bai Qi pursed his lips, wondering if he would run into Mu Zhen Yu again.
Mu Zhen Yu’s eyes fell on the cake box in Bai Qi’s hand. “Buying them for your girlfriend?”
“Mhm...” There was a gentle look in his eyes as he thought of the person who was waiting for him at the apartment. “Mu Zhen Yu, it’s good to see you again, but I should go now. My girlfriend is still waiting for me.”
Mu Zhen Yu nodded and turned around to watch Bai Qi leave. He stared at Bai Qi for a long time and frowned. Mu Zhen Yu could not help but felt that Bai Qi’s silhouette was a little familiar...
