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

After several days of hard work, Wen Yingying's activities in S City finally came to an end, and because she had to rush back to take photos, Meng Xia immediately booked a flight back to Nancheng for the next afternoon——

"Everyone has worked hard these days. You can eat and drink whatever you want at noon today. I'll pay for it. And I don't have time to pick out the New Year's Day gifts this time. I'll just send you red envelopes."

"Thank you Sister Yingying, long live Sister Yingying!"

"Sister Yingying has a beautiful heart and a kind heart. I love you!"

"Okay, stop flattering me, and remember not to drink too much, or you won't be able to catch the afternoon flight."

With that said, Wen Yingying turned to look at Meng Xia, "What about you? Are you going back with us or with Huo Xibai?"

Meng Xia was stunned. She had never thought about this problem before and directly bought several people's tickets. "Of course I will go back with you. Aren't we going back to the crew to film tomorrow?"

"What about Huo Xibai? He came to celebrate your birthday with you, and you let him go back alone?"

"Birthday?"

"What? You didn't know that yesterday was Huo Xibai's birthday?"

"..."

Meng Xia was stunned. She was so busy with New Year's Day these days that she temporarily forgot that yesterday was Huo Xibai's birthday.

"What? Didn't you go out yesterday? I saw a bouquet of flowers in your room this morning."

"Yes...but it was bought casually on the roadside, and..."

It was Huo Xibai's birthday, but she didn't prepare a gift for him.

Wen Yingying glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. A chuckle escaped from the corner of her mouth, "He asked me yesterday about any restaurants nearby that were worth recommending. I thought you would have some plans for the evening."

"..."

Meng Xia was speechless for a moment, so last night it was not Huo Xibai's impromptu idea, but Huo Xibai who had already prepared to take her out to dinner and celebrate her birthday with her, and he had been waiting for her in the hotel until so late?

Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Then, what did Miss Wen recommend to him?"

“Aren’t there just a few popular restaurants for couples around here?”

Wen Yingying said two names casually, and Meng Xia's expression froze. Sure enough, Huo Xibai took her there specially.

No wonder it was so late. The food was served to them quickly after they went there. She thought Huo Xi spent the money in vain, but she didn't expect that he had made a reservation in advance.

When she thought about how he flew all the way here to celebrate her birthday and waited so late, not only did she not remember it at all, but she also had a bad time with him last night...

Somehow, a sense of guilt gradually filled her heart, and Meng Xia couldn't eat anymore. After struggling for a moment, she got up——

"Sorry, I have to leave beforehand. You can eat slowly."

After that, she grabbed her coat and turned away, leaving behind everyone with doubtful faces and Wen Yingying who stared at her back and chuckled.

-

Meng Xia called Huo Xibai several times, but he didn't answer the phone. He frowned. Was he angry and didn't answer on purpose, or was he already on the plane?

If she had known, she shouldn't have acted like him yesterday. Although she did not like Huo Xibai's excessive control over her sometimes, at least she shouldn't have acted like him yesterday. Yesterday was his birthday...

The expression on his face when he asked her to buy him roses last night appeared inexplicably in her mind. At that time, I thought he was as childish as a child. Now that I think about it, he probably wanted to remind her, right?

But she didn't remember it from beginning to end. He must be a little sad, right?

Thinking of this, Meng Xia couldn't help but quicken her pace, quickly ran back to the hotel, and went straight to Huo Xibai's room——
