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

Meng Xia was stunned, "Who?"

"She said her surname was Wen."

"..."

After being stunned for a second, Meng Xia stood up suddenly and ran downstairs in a hurry, forgetting to change her clothes.

The footsteps of "ta da da da" were getting closer and closer. The woman sitting in the living room subconsciously turned her head and happened to catch the eye of Meng Xia who was coming down the stairs——

Meng Xia immediately froze on the spot and forgot to react, until Wen Yingying suddenly chuckled, "What? You don't recognize me anymore?"

"Miss Wen, it's really you!"

Only then did Meng Xia react, ran downstairs quickly, held her hand and said excitedly, "Why are you here suddenly?"

"Isn't it your birthday today? Of course I want to come over."

With that said, Wen Yingying also brought up the beautifully wrapped gift in her hand and sent it to Meng Xia, "Here, it's for you. Happy birthday!"

"Thank you."

Meng Xia was overjoyed, and while putting away the gifts, she asked Wen Yingying to sit down, "How did you know I was here? No, how could you come in? Didn't the people outside say anything?"

"What can they say? I'm just celebrating your birthday with you, I'm not taking you away."

Wen Ying welcomed the water brought by the servant, then touched Meng Xia's face and said distressedly, "Have you been working hard during this time? I see you have lost a lot of weight."

"You've lost weight too."

Wen Yingying blinked and chuckled, "It seems that my weight loss during this period is pretty good."

"..."

Seeing her forced smile, Meng Xia didn't say anything, but just smiled. She heard that Brother Huo had been unconscious, and she must have felt bad, right?

It had only been a few months since I last saw him. Not only had he lost a lot of weight, he was also in poor condition. He looked a little tired. Even with a smile on his face, there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

"Okay, don't look so grim. Today is your birthday after all. How about we have a nice chat?"

Seeing that she remained silent, Wen Yingying couldn't help but pinch her face and said, "Don't frown all the time. You are one year older and you will get lines."

Meng Xia didn't care much, "It will grow sooner or later anyway."

"Hey, your idea is wrong. According to what you said, people will die sooner or later. Why do we still need to eat, drink, and get treated when we are sick? Isn't it just to live a few more years?"

"This is also true for maintenance. Isn't it just to spend so much money and time to keep it beautiful for a few more years?"

"It just so happens that I just used a good product in the past two days. The whitening and brightening effect is great. I will have it delivered to you in two days."

"it is good."

Meng Xia was amused by Wen Yingying's words, and the two of them talked a lot, ranging from skin care knowledge to entertainment industry gossip, from small things in life to anecdotes. The two of them invariably avoided certain topics, chatting and laughing, in the afternoon Just go over there.

"Stay for dinner tonight, I'll cook it myself."

"Of course, I have no intention of leaving on an empty stomach. It just so happens that I haven't eaten anything you cooked for a long time."

After a pause, she said as if she remembered something, "But you are the birthday girl today, isn't it a bit bad to cook by yourself?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm very happy that you can come."

She has been here for a summer, and Huo Xibai is not at home often. She has not spoken to him for a long time, and she has never been so happy.

"You wait here for a while. I'll go up and change clothes. I'll be ready soon."

Seeing Wen Yingying was so excited, she was still wearing pajamas.

"Okay, go quickly, it's time to change into something beautiful."

Wen Yingying smiled and nodded, and Meng Xia went upstairs. But before she could change out, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings suddenly became dark——

Her heart tightened. Even after so many years, Meng Xia was still afraid of the dark, especially the sudden change from a bright environment to a dark environment, and the sudden illusion that she could not see anything in front of her eyes made her panic.

While calling the servant, he turned on his mobile phone flashlight and walked out, only to find that it was dark outside, "What's going on? Is there a power outage?"

She shouted twice subconsciously, but there was no response.

Meng Xia frowned involuntarily and walked downstairs carefully step by step, "Miss Wen? Are you still there?"

The moment the words fell to the ground, a candle suddenly lit up not far away——
