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

"Uh, um... excuse me, you guys... continue."

The door that opened suddenly was closed again. Before Meng Xia could explain, Wen Yingying had already left.

The words You Qi left behind before leaving made Meng Xia blush involuntarily and complained softly, "You think it's all your fault! Miss Wen even misunderstood!"

"So what if there is a misunderstanding? We are honest lovers, and we are not having an affair. What's more, I just want to check your wounds."

Huo Xibai had an indifferent attitude, but Wen Yingying suddenly broke in and reminded him to lock the door first, and then returned to her.

"Be good, let me take a look at your injuries. I'm afraid I might hurt you accidentally."

The man's voice was deliberately low and slow, with a hint of indescribable tenderness.

Meng Xia knew that he would not give up easily unless she showed him. So after hesitating for a moment, he unbuttoned two shirt buttons, pulled down the collar a little, and exposed his right shoulder——

The shoulders that were originally as white as jade were covered in a large bruise, especially because of her white skin, which made that area even more shocking.

His heart tightened, Huo Xibai subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but stopped a second before he touched it, and couldn't help but clench it into a fist, "How can it be so serious?"

The man's voice was extremely tight, and his dark eyes were staring at her shoulder for a moment, his eyes filled with distress.

"It's okay, it just looks serious. After all, I was wearing a cotton-padded jacket at the time, which gave me a buffer."

She didn't dare to say that after two days of rest, the injury had improved a lot. It was red and swollen before, and it looked even more terrifying.

Even though she said this, the man still lowered his eyes with a sad expression on his face, "I'm sorry..."

"Ok?"

Meng Xia was stunned, "What does this have to do with you? It's not you who made me hurt."

"If I had insisted not to let you join the group, you wouldn't have been injured."

"But you can't predict this kind of thing. Besides, it was my decision to join the group. According to you, do I have to blame myself? If I hadn't found this job, I wouldn't have been injured?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Xibai suddenly hugged her waist and deliberately avoided her injury, "So let's not do this job, okay?"

"You will stay with me from now on and never go anywhere."

Listening to his childlike words, Meng Xia couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"I'm not talking nonsense."

The man suddenly raised his head to look at her, his eyes and tone showing an indescribable seriousness and firmness, "I never want you to leave my sight again, and I never want to see you hurt again."

"..."

Seeing the man's serious look, Meng Xia didn't know what to say for a moment. Although she knew he was worried about her, she couldn't give up her job for such a reason.

After a moment of silence, she cleared her throat and said softly, "I know you are worried about me, but this time it was really just an accident."

"We can't disrupt the rhythm of our lives just because of a small accident. You should understand better than me why we stop eating and avoid medical treatment because of choking."

"Do you think this is just a small accident? Do you know if the position was a little further away..."

As if he was afraid of being unlucky, the man stopped talking, but Meng Xia suddenly held his hand, "No ifs, I promise there won't be such an accident next time, okay?"

"You promise? How can you promise?"

"I……"

Before Meng Xia could speak, the man continued, "The crew is always a place with a lot of disputes. Even if you don't take the initiative to provoke others, it's hard to guarantee that others won't frame you..."

Meng Xia couldn't bear to listen for a moment, and her head got hot, so she lowered her head and blocked his lips——
