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

"Did you really not do anything inappropriate?"

"?!"

His eyebrows twitched, and Meng Xia frowned subconsciously, "You don't believe me? I really just watched them dance and did nothing else."

"Later, Miss Wen wanted to play games and drink with them. I was worried that the news would be bad for Miss Wen, so I let them leave after playing for a while. In the end, I drank with Miss Wen."

"that's it?"

Huo Xibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mood suddenly felt a little joyful, but it still didn't show on his face.

Meng Xia became even more anxious, "Really, we are lovers now, how could I go out and drink with other men?"

Seeing her anxious explanation, Huo Xibai felt better and sipped his coffee leisurely, "I'm not talking about you to them, I'm talking about you to me."

"Ok?"

Meng Xia was stunned, "To you?"

"Have you forgotten what you told me last night?"

What did she say?

Meng Xia blinked her eyes in confusion, and before she could recall it, Huo Xibai answered it directly for her——

"You said you like me."

"..."

Hearing this, Meng Xia's first reaction was not shock, but relief, "That's what I said?"

"Of course it's more than that. You hugged me and said a lot, begging you to like me more, saying that you can't live without me and want to be with me forever, saying that I can't touch you unless I'm your boyfriend, and finally you took the initiative to kiss me. …”

Huo Xibai said a lot of words, but seeing Meng Xia's mediocre reaction, he couldn't help but raise his lips, "What? You don't look surprised?"

"Um...it's okay. I thought I did something outrageous, so this is okay..."

Meng Xia whispered while eating. Although it still sounded a little embarrassing now, based on their relationship, these words were not out of line.

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Huo Xibai raised his eyebrows, "So you admit that you like me and want to be with me forever?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, the topic eventually came back. Meng Xia pursed her lips and said nothing.

Every time she talked about this topic, she remained silent. Huo Xibai's eyes dimmed, and the joy he had just raised disappeared. After waiting for about two minutes, he sighed, "Forget it, I won't force you. .”

After that, the man put down his coffee and was about to get up and leave, but unexpectedly, the woman grabbed him by the corner of his clothes——

The same scene as last night appeared in front of him. Huo Xibai paused in his steps and waited for her next step with breath.

"that……"

Meng Xia bit his lower lip hesitantly and waited for a while before speaking, "I know what you want to hear, but I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable by avoiding him all the time."

"Actually, I don't know what it means to like me. I only know that I'm happy to be with you. It feels good to be taken care of by you, and it feels good to take care of you."

"Although sometimes I can't understand some of your actions, I don't find it annoying at all. Although I know that we may not last long, I still want to be with you now..."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai frowned, "What does it mean to know that we won't last long?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and Meng Xia's tone was a little flustered, "I don't know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I hope we can be together... longer."

After a pause, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Huo Xibai. Her black and white apricot eyes stared at him intently, and said seriously word by word -

"If this is what I like, then I think I probably like you."

"..."
