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

late at night.

The woman lying on the sofa has fallen asleep, but the TV in front of her is still playing the picture.

Huo Xibai, who had just returned home, saw this scene and could not help but step forward gently. Just as he was about to pick her up, he had already woken up the woman in his arms——

Meng Xia was startled when her body suddenly became airborne. It wasn't until she saw it was Huo Xibai that she covered her mouth and yawned, "Are you back?"

"Why don't you go back to your room to sleep if you're sleepy?"

Huo Xibai felt a little distressed, "Are you waiting for me again? Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? If I had known this, I shouldn't have told you in advance before I came back..."

"Don't!"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Xia couldn't help but interrupt. Last time, she complained unintentionally that the smell of tobacco and alcohol on him was so strong that every time he came back now, Huo Xibai had to wash himself in the hotel in advance. Have a good bath and come back feeling refreshed.

It's just that it's so clean and refreshing that no one can notice the traces left behind at all, which inexplicably makes Meng Xia even more anxious.

"I just accidentally fell asleep today. I won't do it again next time."

After hearing this, Huo Xibai kissed her forehead and said, "Well, if you catch a cold while sleeping, I will feel bad and I won't be able to feel at ease at work."

"..."

Meng Xia didn't say anything, she just held the corners of her lips, smiled, and let Huo Xibai carry her back to her room to rest.

-

Some time passed.

"Will you come back today?"

"today?"

The man paused for a moment, and the assistant over there reported to him today's itinerary, and then he continued, "There is a business event this afternoon, and there is also a charity party in the evening. I'm not sure what time it will be, so I'm not sure whether I can go back. .”

"……Oh."

Even though he had just heard the assistant's report, Meng Xia couldn't help but tighten her lips when she heard these words from Huo Xibai's mouth, and the hand playing with the brush unconsciously exerted force.

"what happened?"

As if aware of her emotions, Huo Xibai asked.

The moment he heard this, Meng Xia almost blurted out, "Today is my birthday!"

But when the words came to his mouth, he heard the phone that kept ringing over there, so he swallowed it back, "It's nothing, then you should pay attention to safety when driving, and don't drink while driving."

"Don't worry, there is a driver behind the wheel now, so drinking will be fine."

Meng Xia couldn't help being stunned when she heard this. Yes, how could she forget that Huo Xibai is now Mr. Huo, and he is always picked up by a special car when he goes out, so he no longer needs to drive by himself.

He no longer has to pick her up from get off work every day. He is so busy every day now that he has no time to go home. He is too busy to even remember her birthday.

In the past, Meng Xia would never have thought that the person who made such a fuss about commemorating such trivial things as "100 days of love", "first trip", and "first quarrel" would actually forget Her birthday…

But the fact is that he did forget.

Originally, Meng Xia had already passed the age of having expectations for her birthday. Huo Xibai helped her pick up this expectation, but he had to kill it with his own hands...

Could it be that even Huo Xibai would change?

Meng Xia hugged her knees and sat on the balcony in a daze, looking at the maple leaves outside. Only then did she realize that the hot summer had slipped away from her, and the autumn wind was blowing in her face.

Did time actually fly by so fast?

Meng Xia didn't know how long she had been sitting on the balcony, but suddenly she heard a knock on the door, "Miss Meng, a lady came to visit and said she was your friend."

Meng Xia was stunned, "Who?"

"She said her surname was Wen."
