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

The Huo family's dinner was not as sumptuous as expected, not that it was simple, but it was a bit deviated from Meng Xia's imagination of the life of rich people with plenty of meat and fish.

There were more than a dozen dishes for the four of us, all of which were green and healthy, so no one ate them with rice. They just ate some vegetables and some fruits, and then basically stopped.

The table was very long, and Meng Xia's arms were limited. He was too embarrassed to instruct the servants to add food like they did, so he could only eat the two plates in front of him——

There was a plate of vegetable salad, a plate of fruit, and a plate of something dark that Meng Xia couldn't name, which looked like fish roe.

So throughout the night, Meng Xia ate a few bites of salad and three cherry tomatoes.

After dinner, Meng Xia said good night to Mrs. Huo obediently and went back to her room.

Huo Xibai happened to be with her. They were walking side by side at arm's length, and neither of them spoke.

Meng Xia hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke when the man was about to open the door, "Well... is there anything you want to tell me?"

Meng Xia deliberately kept his voice very soft, and when Huo Xibai turned his head in confusion, he explained in a gentler voice, "Weren't you... looking at me before? I thought you had something to say to me."

"You think too much."

At the same time as the words "Qingpiaopiao" fell, Meng Xia watched the door being closed in front of her eyes, and was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

Are all children today... like this?

The child Meng Xia has been in contact with recently is Xia Qing. Although he is quite naughty, Meng Xia will not be helpless. After all, as long as he occasionally buys him snacks, Xia Qing will appear to be particularly easy to talk to.

Or...she should also buy snacks for Huo Xibai?

Although Huo Xibai doesn't seem to want to be the one who gets snacks, she still has to try to get her way——

If she wants to live in the Huo family, she must have a good relationship with the Huo family. Among the people she has met so far, Huo Xibai is the youngest and seems to be the best!

Thinking of this, Meng Xia finally had hope. She just lay on the soft and comfortable big bed, but couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning, and her stomach was still growling hungry.

She didn't fall asleep until it was slightly light, but she was woken up by the alarm clock shortly after falling asleep.

Although she was extremely reluctant, Meng Xia still got up tremblingly.

Today was Saturday, so she didn't have to go to school. After washing, she went straight downstairs, wanting to do something to show her "behave".

When she was at her uncle's house, she would help her aunt make breakfast, but at Huo's house, the kitchen had already prepared breakfast, so there was no room for her to use it.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to get you something to fill your stomach first? Madam is still doing morning exercises at this time, so it will probably take a while."

"no, I'm fine."

Meng Xia waved her hands quickly. How could she eat first when the host hadn't used her chopsticks yet? Although she didn't eat anything last night, she was so hungry now that she didn't seem to feel much.

Meng Xia turned to leave, but unexpectedly bumped into Huo Xibai again. The young man seemed to have just returned from exercise. His fair and beautiful face was slightly red, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he was breathing slightly.

【Do you want some water? 】

At that moment, Meng Xia flashed these words as if she had suddenly enlightened, but before she could say anything, the servant on the side handed over water and towels as if she was used to it.

Huo Xibai took the water first, raised his head and drank most of it, then took the towel and wiped his sweat. But halfway through wiping, his movements suddenly stopped, and one of his exposed black eyes stared at Meng Xia, " What do you have to say?"

"what?"

Meng Xia's heart tightened inexplicably when he saw him. Before she could react, she heard the young man continue slowly, "You were looking at me just now. Don't you have something you want to say to me?"

"..."
