Wen Yingying was awakened by the sound of water flowing. Just as she pushed herself up to sit up, she found that the man guarding the bed and Meng Xia in the bed next to her were not there.

Just as she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, she found that the slippers beside her bed were missing, replaced by a pair of wet slippers.

A question mark flashed through my mind. Just when I was about to call someone, I heard the sound of water in the bathroom stopping. After a while, I saw a man and a woman walking out with support——

"Brother? You..."

Wen Yingying was surprised when she saw her brother hugging Meng Xia. Then she realized that Meng Xia's walking posture was wrong, and her eyebrows immediately tightened, "What's going on?"

"Her feet were accidentally burned. I took her to take a shower with cold water."

"Burned? How could you be burned?"

Wen Yingying immediately didn't care and walked over barefoot. However, before she took two steps, the man softly stopped her and said, "Go back to bed quickly!"

"I already have a fever, who do I still have the energy to worry about?"

"I'm fine already..."

Wen Yingying subconsciously retorted, but the man suddenly stopped and stared at her.

Wen Yingying was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and returned to the bed to sit obediently.

The man then helped Meng Xia sit up on the bed, "Fortunately, there are no blisters. I'll get some burn medicine later. If I apply it, it should be fine."

Meng Xia was still immersed in Wen Yingying's "brother", but after hearing what he said, she nodded slowly, "...Oh, okay, thank you."

"Why do you have to wait a while and go get it now?"

Wen Yingying urged her in a low voice from the side, and the man immediately glanced at her, then walked around the hospital bed to her side, frowning and scolding——

"Are you a child? You know you still have a fever, so you run barefoot on the ground? Are you afraid that your illness is not severe enough?"

"I've already healed. If you don't believe me, just touch me."

It seemed that in front of his brother, the woman's voice was tinged with coquettishness, and she deliberately moved her forehead in front of him, but was pushed away by the man in disgust——

"Who wants to care about you?"

Although he said this, the man still took out the wet wipes and wiped her feet.

Seeing the man squatting down and wiping Wen Yingying's feet carefully and considerately, Meng Xia couldn't help but think of her father who stayed by her side to take care of her when she was sick and had a fever when she was a child...

Maybe her gaze stayed there for too long, Wen Yingying suddenly looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Meng Xia's heart tightened when she was caught peeping, and a moment of embarrassment flashed across her face. She lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "No, I just... think you two have a good relationship..."

"What? Don't you have any brothers or anything?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yingying seemed to think of something again and immediately fell silent, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Although she was not familiar with Meng Xia before, she had heard of the fact that she was the adopted daughter of the Huo family——

Mrs. Huo was devastated by the loss of her beloved daughter, so she adopted an orphan girl who also lost her parents in a major traffic accident. Everyone in their circle knew about this at the time.

It's a pity that this orphan girl is not as beautiful or as talented as the original eldest daughter of the Huo family, Huo Xixi, so she was soon forgotten by them.

"It's nothing."

Meng Xia shook her head indifferently. It had been so long since the incident happened, and she had passed the period where she would feel uncomfortable just mentioning it.

"I'm just a little envious of you..."

When she was little, she envied other children who had older brothers. When she first went to Huo's house, she even had the idea of ​​getting along well with Huo Xicheng, but it turned out...

It can't be said that Huo Xicheng was not good to her. After all, he was the only one who passed by her, and he prepared a very generous pretense for her, but...

Probably because he seemed cold, noble and unapproachable, all his good deeds seemed like charity.

She originally thought that the family relationships of rich people were like this, but now it seems that it is not the case...

They just didn't think of her as family...
