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

After hesitating for ten minutes between calling his colleagues and asking Huo Xibai for help, Meng Xia finally decided——

She's not coming home.

Instead of troubling others, she might as well just sleep in the store for one night. There happened to be small stools for customers to rest here. She moved a few of them and put them together, and she could barely sleep.

Just when she turned off the light and was about to lie down, a white light suddenly shone in from outside. Meng Xia was startled and quickly grabbed the stool beside her, her heart lifted——

Although the security of this street has always been good, it is inevitable that criminals will slip through the net.

The white light kept shining back and forth inside, and it didn't seem to be a pedestrian passing by.

Meng Xia nervously held her breath and huddled in the corner, and quietly took out her mobile phone to prepare to call the police. But as soon as she turned on the mobile phone, the light on the screen was particularly bright in the darkness, and the other party's light also locked on her——

My heart trembled!

Meng Xia was so frightened that her mind went blank, but her fingers instinctively pressed the number to call the police. However, the next second she heard a knock on the door——

"What? Now you're hiding from me so much that you don't even go back home?"

The familiar male voice brought her thoughts back. Meng Xia was stunned for several seconds before she stood up suddenly and looked towards the door. However, she was stimulated by a burst of white light and closed her eyes. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it.

By the time she got used to it, the people outside had pushed the door open and came in, holding the mysterious door lock that she had deliberately hung outside -

"Who are you guarding against? Are you really afraid that someone will come in?"

Through a layer of darkness, she couldn't see Huo Xibai's expression clearly, but she could hear the displeasure in his tone.

"You are such a big man, do you have any sense of safety? Do you know that if the person you just discovered is not me, if a bad person really comes in, then you will..."

The scolding words were paused the moment he saw the woman's expression clearly——

The woman stared at him with wide eyes, a clearly frightened expression on her face. The panic in her eyes had not dissipated, and even the screen of her mobile phone was still on, with no call to the police number broadcast.

Seeing this, Huo Xibai swallowed down the words that were already on his lips. His eyes flashed. He raised his hand and touched Meng Xia's head, comforting him warmly, "Are you scared? It's okay. It's me. I'll pick you up." go home."

I don't know if she was too frightened to react for a moment, but Meng Xia didn't avoid his hand. She stood there blankly and let Huo Xibai rub her hair.

It wasn't until Huo Xibai took her over to turn on the lights and the surroundings suddenly lit up that she suddenly came back to her senses and avoided Huo Xibai's hand.

The palms of his hands suddenly became empty. Huo Xibai turned his head subconsciously and met Meng Xia's evasive gaze, "How is it? Are you feeling better now?"

The man's voice was very soft, even with a hint of indescribable tenderness, which inexplicably reminded her of the young man who lay beside her bed and confessed.

Shutting his eyes, Meng Xia shook his head and nodded again. Afraid that he wouldn't understand, he quickly added, "I'm fine... It's so late, why did you come here suddenly?"

"So you also know it's so late? Then why don't you go home? What? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Huo Xibai couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this. He suddenly ran away at noon and didn't come home at night, so he could only come over and have a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he parked his car, her store suddenly closed, but he didn't see her coming out, so he took a flashlight and took a photo. Unexpectedly, he was regarded as a bad guy and made a big mistake.

Huo Xibai glanced at the small stool set aside and raised his lips to mock, "What? You would rather sleep here to avoid me? Are you afraid of catching a cold?"
