She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

The elevator goes straight to the top floor.

Meng Xia looked at the familiar floors and corridors, and was afraid to step forward for a moment.

It was Huo Xibai who stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and opened the door for her, "Come on, let's go in and take a look."

As soon as she walked in, Meng Xia saw the familiar living room, even the tables and chairs were in their original positions. For a moment, she seemed to have returned to ten years ago, and even saw her parents -

Her mother was still nagging her while cleaning, and her father always helped clean up the garbage with a smile on his face. Suddenly he turned his head and saw her coming back, with a split smile at the corner of his mouth, "Xia Xia is back? Are you hungry? I want to think about it tonight. What to eat?”

The tip of her nose felt sour, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision, and the phantom in front of her disappeared.

"Dad, Mom..."

Heart inexplicably empty, Meng Xia subconsciously took two steps forward, but what followed was an even greater emptiness...

It wasn't until Huo Xibai hugged her that Meng Xia finally cried out.

Huo Xibai didn't say anything, he just held her quietly and let her vent her emotions——

After half an hour.

Meng Xia finally raised her head from Huo Xibai's arms and stared at the spot on the man's chest that was wet with her tears. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed, "I'm sorry..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that she had been crying for so long that her voice was trembling.

Huo Xibai didn't care at all, "Now that I'm crying, do you feel better?"

Meng Xia felt even more embarrassed when she thought that she had cried while holding Huo Xibai for so long, but she still nodded.

Huo Xibai stared at her crying face, and raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was a pity in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

"You...how did you know..."

"It's not difficult to find this place. I asked someone to buy it a long time ago and rearranged it according to what you told me. Although it can't be said to be exactly the same as the original one, it is still similar to it."

It's only seven or eight points...

Meng Xia looked at the tables and chairs in the living room, which were exactly the same as in her memory. Huo Xibai was able to arrange them like this based on just a few words from her, which showed his care.

"……thanks."

The woman lowered her eyes, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and Huo Xibai's Adam's apple twitched, "You should know that I have tried so hard to please you, and I want more than just a thank you."

His dark eyes stared at her for a moment, his gaze was so hot that no one could ignore it.

So what does he want...

His heart tightened inexplicably, his dark eyes rolled twice in his sockets, and the fingers hanging by his side subconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes.

"I gave it...but you don't want..."

As soon as the trembling voice came out, he was interrupted by the man, "Meng Xia, it's already this time, you still want to say such things again?"

"If all I wanted was this, do you think I would go to such great lengths to please you?"

"..."

Meng Xia blinked and said nothing.

The next second, she suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and then her whole body was brought into Huo Xibai's arms. As her heart trembled, the man lifted her chin with his other hand, forcing her to look up——

"I thought I made it clear to you last time in City A, but you are still saying this, so I will tell you again..."

"I came back from abroad, stayed with you for so long, and went out of my way to please you, all because of you."

"I like you, Meng Xia."

"I've liked it since ten years ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xibai couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed the teardrop that made him salivate——
