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

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

Her mind moved, and before her brain could react, she blurted out subconsciously. The moment the words fell, both of them were stunned——

It was Huo Xibai who reacted first. While continuing to peel the shrimp, he smiled and said, "Finally, you remembered to ask? I thought you never planned to ask in this life."

So, had he been waiting for her to ask?

Meng Xia couldn't help but tighten her lips, and a complex emotion flashed through her heart.

Huo Xibai had already held a whole piece of shrimp and brought it to her mouth. "Before that, shouldn't you explain to me why you suddenly invited me to dinner today?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, he would ask this suddenly. Meng Xia was startled, and then opened her eyes pretending to be innocent, "Can't I treat you to dinner?"

"There has to be a reason, right?"

"That... I won't be able to tell you until later."

"Then let's eat first and then talk after you finish."

Huo Xibai peeled another shrimp and brought it to her mouth——

"Why do you keep peeling it for me to eat? Aren't you even hungry?"

Meng Xia was about to turn away and refuse, but then suddenly remembered something, opened his mouth and bit down, peeled off a sweet and sour flavor, and brought it to Huo Xibai's mouth, "Here you go."

"..."

Huo Xibai was startled. This was the first time that he didn't speak, and Meng Xia took the initiative to please him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

"What? Don't you like eating this kind of thing?"

Being stared at by him with those eyes, Meng Xia suddenly felt a little embarrassed, worried that Huo Xibai wouldn't be used to the taste here——

She was obviously planning to make up for his birthday, but she actually brought him to a place like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "No, I like it very much."

I don't know if it was because she moved too quickly, but her warm thin lips just touched her fingertips, and an electric current instantly spread from her fingertips throughout her body——

"!"

Meng Xia was startled and quickly retracted her hand, but the warmth at her fingertips never disappeared. It even spread from her fingertips to her cheeks and to the tips of her ears, where a touch of pink appeared.

It happened to fall in Huo Xibai's eyes, and he couldn't help but curl his lips, "Are you very hot? Your face is red..."

"cough!"

Meng Xia suddenly choked and quickly explained, "Yes, this lobster is too spicy!"

As he said that, he fanned himself with his hand, "Do you want a drink of water? I'll get some water."

After saying this, before Huo Xibai could speak, she quickly ran to the store to get water, and Huo Xibai chuckled helplessly.

A few minutes later, the woman with two bottles of mineral water came back. Huo Xibai did not embarrass her anymore, but said softly, "Tell me again. When you were a child, did you often come here to eat? With whom?" Together?"

"I don't go there often, after all, a meal is not cheap, but basically I come here with my dad."

"Sounds like you have a better relationship with your dad?"

"No, we have a good relationship as a family. It's just about eating. I stand with my dad on a united front."

"is it?"

"Because we prefer heavy junk food, my mother prefers light and healthy food."

"Huh? Can't you see that you had such a temper when you were a child?"

"What's your temper?"

"She seems a little more lively than the Meng Xia I know?"

"Are you lively? Are you okay..."

-

After half an hour.

The two of them finally finished eating and went home. Meng Xia secretly ordered a cake on her mobile phone while Huo Xibai wasn't paying attention, and quickly arranged it while he was taking a shower.

By the time she finished decorating, the cake had been delivered——

"Okay, thank you, thank you for your hard work."

Just after seeing off the delivery man, I heard the sound of water in the bathroom, and Huo Xibai's deep and sweet voice came from inside, "Who are you talking to?"
