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

When Meng Xia woke up, it was already dawn outside. She moved her body and was about to get up when she suddenly found that her right hand was being grasped by someone——

Turning around, he saw Huo Xibai sleeping beside the bed. The golden sunlight shone on him through the window, which closely overlapped with the scene in his dream.

When she thought of that dream, Meng Xia's eyes couldn't help but fall on his face, but she paused slightly when she caught a glimpse of the wound at the corner of his mouth——

The memory after the fragment suddenly broke into his mind. Meng Xia's hand that he wanted to reach out froze in the air, and his whole body was frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

How could she, how could she do such a thing? !

"What? Remember?"

A low and hoarse male voice suddenly sounded. Huo Xibai opened his eyes at some point and lay beside the bed, staring at her with interest.

"I thought you would forget everything when you woke up."

"What, what?"

Meng Xia stepped back slightly in panic, pretending to be calm and changed the subject, "Why are you in my room?"

"do not you remember?"

"What...should I remember?"

Meng Xia watched helplessly as Huo Xibai grabbed her right hand, put it to her lips and kissed it. The raised eyebrows showed a bit of evil, "Last night... you didn't pull me and say you like it, but you didn't pull me..." Did you let me go?"

"How can it be!"

Meng Xia opened her eyes wide and denied it, but suddenly a memory fragment of her leaning up to kiss Huo Xibai flashed through her mind. Her eyes began to dodge involuntarily, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

Huo Xibai was pulled over by her, propped himself up, and got closer to her little by little——

"What? Don't you want to admit it after eating it all? Sister?"

The word "sister" seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and her brain went blank for a moment. Meng Xia suddenly pushed Huo Xibai away, and ran directly into the bathroom without even wearing shoes.

But the second before he stepped into the bathroom, he was picked up by a big hand and asked, "Where are you going to run without even wearing any shoes?"

His body suddenly hung in the air, Meng Xia's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but tighten her voice and whispered, "Huo Xibai, please let me go!"

"But you haven't answered me yet. Now we..."

"Are we together? Yes."

Yesterday she fell asleep before she could finish her words, so he had been waiting until now for her to answer.

A deep cello-like voice rang in his ears. Just as Meng Xia was about to open his mouth to refute, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two figures in the bathroom mirror, and when he reached his lips, he suddenly swallowed back the words——

"Huo Xibai, do you like me?"

"of course."

"Then will you lie to me?"

"……Won't."

His eyes flickered, and the man pursed his lips and said word by word, "I will never lie to you on this matter."

The deliberately slow tone revealed an indescribable seriousness and determination, but Meng Xia was not at all happy. She lowered her eyes and said, "Even if I don't like you?"

Before the man could speak, she explained, "Huo Xibai, as you said, maybe I'm really easy to be soft-hearted, so as long as someone is nice to me... I won't be able to refuse."

"You've been very kind to me during this period. Whether it's my affairs, my grandma's affairs, or my house's affairs, I'm very grateful to you..."

"I don't know if this counts as liking, so I never know how to respond to you. You..."

There was a pause, and it took a while before she heard her own voice, "Even if this is the case, can you accept it?"
