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

"You were looking at me just now. Didn't you have something you wanted to say to me?"

"..."

Well, I returned what she said yesterday to her again, but she didn't dare to imitate Huo Xibai and return his words to him.

Meng Xia pursed her lips and put on a smile, "Do you exercise every morning? I happen to like exercise too, do you want to join us next time?"

This is a lie. Meng Xia has never liked exercise. What she liked most during the week was sleeping in. Later, she was at her aunt's house and had to help with housework, so she had no time to exercise.

"casual."

Huo Xibai glanced at her nonchalantly, recognized the two words lightly, returned the towel to the servant, and turned to go upstairs.

Meng Xia didn't know whether he agreed or not, but she followed him subconsciously, "Today is Saturday, do you have any plans? Do you want to go out to play together?"

She took Xia Qing to an amusement park before. Xia Qing was very happy and looked kindly to her.

"I have lessons this morning and I have to practice piano in the afternoon."

This is rejection.

Meng Xia lowered his eyes, but still smiled and said, "Oh, indeed, your study task is indeed very heavy now. I heard that you love me. I am two years younger. You should be in the third grade of junior high school, right? It is the stage when you are working hard for the high school entrance examination."

"My third year in junior high was also very hard. My mother enrolled me in many extracurricular classes. Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, the results were not good and she almost ended up in the hospital because of exhaustion, so her mother gave up.

This Meng Xia was not embarrassed to say it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am now a sophomore in high school. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Although her grades are average, she should be able to teach junior high school junior high school students, right?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Huo Xibai correct her, "I'm a freshman in high school."

"Freshman?"

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment. Although it was a bit exaggerated to be a freshman in high school at the age of fourteen, it seemed that it was not incomprehensible. She immediately smiled and cheered, determined not to let Huo Xibai's words fall to the ground, "Really? Then you are so good! Your academic performance It must be good, right?”

When Meng Xia was worried about whether she could teach him, she saw the young man suddenly stopped, right at the door of his room, and then turned to look at her, "Are you trying to please me?"

The dark eyes stared at him, and the young man's voice was filled with indescribable emotions, which seemed to be ridicule, disgust, and indifference.

Meng Xia was startled, and it took him a while to react. He forced out a smile, "Can't you?"

"After all, we are going to live together in the future. Of course I want to know you better and get along well with you."

"..."

Huo Xibai didn't say anything, stared at her for a few seconds, then opened the door and entered the room.

With a "click", the door was gently closed again, completely blocking Meng Xia's sight. Meng Xia sighed, the smile on her face no longer existed, and her originally tense shoulders drooped -

Are all children today so difficult to get along with?

Meng Xia is an only child and has no experience in getting along with brothers and sisters. She only has the experience of getting along with Xia Qing in the past two months to draw on, but Xia Qing and Huo Xibai seem to be completely different.

Those methods that worked for Xia Qing seemed useless in front of Huo Xibai.

Meng Xia entered the room dejectedly. He originally wanted to call his uncle to ask how to get along with children, but his uncle didn't answer, probably because he was busy.

She could only search online, but the opinions on the Internet were very one-sided. They were all about "listen more and communicate more", "respect each other" and the like.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to consult her best friend——

Meng Xia has a quiet temperament, and her best and only friend throughout high school is her classmate Chen Cheng.

"Are you here? Orange."

Meng Xia tentatively sent a message because after her sophomore year in high school, Chen Cheng's mother would occasionally confiscate her mobile phone based on her test scores.

"Here, what's wrong?"

The other party replied to her quickly, and Meng Xia quickly typed, "I arrived at my adoptive parents' house yesterday."

There were no secrets between her and Chen Cheng, so she only told Chen Cheng about her adoption by the Huo family.

"That's great! The other party's family is so rich, and now you are also the eldest daughter of a rich family. I will follow you in the future!"

Finally, the other party sent a few more "rich woman begging for support" emoticons.

Meng Xia smiled bitterly, "But I encountered a problem just after I came here. I don't know what happened. I feel a little out of place here. I feel... I don't know how to get along with them."
