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

"It was the time I caught you and Song Zhihuai eating hot pot."

"Forehead……"

Meng Xia was speechless for a moment. When he said this, the memories that had been submerged in the depths suddenly came into his mind——

That was when she was in her sophomore year. Song Zhihuai was a senior one year older than her. He was gentle and treated her fairly well.

So that Christmas he asked her to go out to play, and Meng Xia readily agreed.

Unexpectedly, while the two of them were eating hot pot and chatting about what movie to watch later, an unexpected figure fell from the sky and stared at the two of them coldly——

"What are you doing?"

"Huo Xibai? You...why are you here?"

Meng Xia was shocked. She never expected that someone from Nancheng would suddenly appear in front of her, under such circumstances.

"Who is he!"

"This is……"

Two male voices sounded at the same time, and Meng Xia's heart tightened inexplicably, and she quickly explained, "Senior Song, this is my younger brother... Huo Xibai."

After that, he explained to Huo Xibai, "This, this is my senior from the same school."

"It turns out he's my younger brother..."

Song Zhihuai smiled particularly friendlyly when he heard this, "Hello, my name is Song Zhihuai."

Huo Xibai just glanced coldly at the man's stretched out hand, but there was no reaction. This made Song Zhihuai, whose hand was still frozen in the air, embarrassed.

In front of Huo Xibai, Meng Xia could only smooth things over in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Senior Song, my brother..."

"fine."

After all, Song Zhihuai quickly realized that he was a little older, "Maybe he missed you, so he came all the way from Nancheng. Was it hard to find him all the way in such a cold weather?

"Just sit down and eat with us. Just order whatever you want."

I don't know what those words touched the young man, but suddenly a hint of panic flashed across his originally gloomy face, and then he was pulled by Meng Xia, and he sat down obediently.

That was probably the most embarrassing meal Meng Xia had ever eaten. In the middle of the meal, she went to the bathroom because she couldn't stand the strange atmosphere.

But when she came back, Song Zhihuai was no longer there, leaving only Huo Xibai sitting there calmly.

Then she was ordered by Huo Xibai not to associate with Song Zhihuai, and then... there was no more.

When she thought of this, she seemed to slowly realize something, something she had never let go of her heart -

So... Huo Xibai must have started to like her from that time on, right?

"Okay, your lobster and skewers."

The aunt's voice interrupted Meng Xia's thoughts. She suddenly came back to her senses, but unexpectedly she met Huo Xibai's deep black eyes——

"how?"

"No, nothing."

Her heart tightened inexplicably, and she quickly looked away, no, that's impossible!

He was so young at that time, he didn't know what liking was at all, it was just a child's possessiveness causing trouble.

Even though she was thinking this, her heart could not help but beat wildly, and another opposite voice also jumped out to refute——

Why just refuse to face up to his feelings?

It was obvious that he had expressed his thoughts many times, but she never listened to her heart. She even took his thoughts as a joke and ignored his thoughts...

If what he said was true, how sad would he feel after being perfunctory by her all this time?

"Why are you so dazed? Are you still waiting for me to peel it off for you to eat?"

A sudden sound interrupted Meng Xia's thoughts. She quickly came to her senses. Just as she was about to put on disposable gloves to peel the shrimp, Xiaodie's peeled shrimp meat was already pushed in front of her——

It can be seen that the man is not good at this kind of thing. Several of the shrimps are incomplete, but he is a quick learner and the shrimps at the back are already perfect.

Meng Xia froze on the spot and forgot to react. Huo Xibai on the opposite side curled his lips when he saw this, "What? You can't be moved and speechless just by a plate of shrimps, right?"

"Huo Xibai, when did you... start to like me?"
