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

The night is getting darker.

When Huo Xibai came out of the shower, Meng Xia was sitting by the window in her pajamas, staring out the window in a daze.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

He walked over with steps, and with his big hands, he hugged her from behind. He put his chin on her shoulder and rubbed it gently. The water droplets on the end of his hair fell on the woman's neck, which annoyed the people in his arms. Shrinking to avoid——

"Don't make trouble, it's a little itchy."

After pulling away slightly, Meng Xia turned around and glared at him, "Why don't you always dry your hair after taking a shower? What should you do if you catch a cold?"

"Waiting for you to blow me."

The man could soften his voice and rub her palm, which was full of coquettishness.

Meng Xia had no choice but to bring a hair dryer over, blowing it gently with a small breeze, and asked, "Why do you have to blow it with me? Could it be because Mrs. Huo only blew it with Huo Xichen and not you, so you Very jealous, right?"

"..."

Huo Xibai paused and said nothing. Meng Xia's eyes widened in surprise, "Really?"

Could it be that she was really right?

Huo Xibai narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Does it have to be some noble reason? I just like you blowing me, and I like leaning on you like this."

After a pause for a few seconds, he suddenly spoke again, "Actually, it's because you blew my hair before and it felt really good."

"Huh? When?"

Why doesn't she have any impression at all?

"It must have been the first year you came to the Huo family. At that time, I didn't like using a hair dryer. Every time I took a shower, I would lie in a chair and bask in the sun. You saw me once, and you probably thought I was asleep. I was worried that I might catch a cold while sleeping, so I used a hair dryer to dry me."

"Because I was afraid of waking me up, I also felt very comfortable with such a gentle breeze, so I didn't interrupt you loudly."

"is it?"

Meng Xia blinked her eyes and had no impression. She only remembered that she had just entered the Huo family and had done a lot of thankless things. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but pretend to be angry and said, "If this is the case, why did you do it in the first place?" Are you still teasing me? Targeting me? "

If he could have gotten along well with her back then, she wouldn't have had such a hard time living in the Huo family...

His eyes flickered slightly, Huo Xibai tightened his lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, because I liked you and hated you at the same time."

"If you like it, you just like it, if you hate it, you just hate it. What does it mean to like and hate at the same time?"

"Because you don't know how to love, and you can't love it, you start to hate it."

Originally, at that time, he had just learned about the identity of his illegitimate son and was not sure how to deal with it. Suddenly, an adopted daughter came to the Huo family who was even more unpopular than him.

Originally, he just wanted to tease her and watch her coldly as she tried every means to please him, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would get deeper and deeper into trouble, and she actually turned around and went to please his brother.

"Um...Isn't that because you have been refusing to pay attention to me?"

Meng Xia still remembered that when she first came to the Huo family, the whole family thought that Huo Xibai was young and seemed not easy to get close to, so she decided to please him.

Unexpectedly, a few months passed without any results. Of course she couldn't hang herself from a tree and turn around to please Huo Xicheng.

"When did I stop talking to you? If I didn't talk to you, how could I let you read a book with me, let you blow dry my hair, or make me something to eat?"

"Huh? I thought you were teasing me on purpose."

Huo Xibai rolled his eyes, "If I hated you, I wouldn't pay attention to you at all."

"..."

Meng Xia touched her nose awkwardly. She was sulking because she was teased by a little kid.

"That's not your fault. Why don't you know how to speak properly?"

His eyes flashed, and Huo Xibai rarely refuted, but hugged her waist, "Well, it's my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had such a hard time in the Huo family, let alone be forced to jump off the building. …”

Seeing him mention that thing again, Meng Xia couldn't help but frown. Even though she had let it go, Huo Xibai didn't seem to have.

"I've said it many times, my leg is healed, and I don't care anymore."

"What's more, after listening to what you said today, I discovered that different people have completely different ideas about the same thing."

"Why don't you tell me other things and let me see what you think."

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"Um……"

Meng Xia raised her eyes and thought for a while, "For example...when did you find out that you liked me?"
