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

But after a few days, Huo Xibai's body got better, but he still refused to let go of her, which made her feel a little awkward——

"How can I give you medicine if you hold my hand?"

"You can also give medicine with one hand."

With that said, Huo Xibai took the bowl in her hand and signaled that Meng Xia could feed with her other hand.

Meng Xia was speechless for a while, "...you should be able to drink medicine by yourself now, right? I think your fever seems to have gone down."

With that said, she picked up the thermometer and measured Huo Xibai again. Sure enough, there was no fever. Meng Xia couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard Huo Xibai say, "Are you worried about me?"

"of course."

Is not this nonsensical? She had been watching over him for several days. Seeing that he kept having fevers and talking nonsense, she thought he was about to die.

"So, drink the medicine quickly to avoid getting a fever again."

"This medicine is useless. I didn't know how much I drank when I was a child. I was already immune to it."

Seeing his disinterested attitude, Meng Xia immediately frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again? Take the medicine quickly!"

Huo Xibai did not refuse and let Meng Xia feed him and drink it.

After drinking, Meng Xia handed him a tissue, but Huo Xibai didn't take it, as if he was waiting for her to help.

Meng Xia was silent for two seconds and said, "...You are already healed and can wipe it yourself."

"I'm fine and you still want me to take medicine?"

"..."

Meng Xia couldn't refute, after all, if this matter were left to ordinary people, it would have been cured long ago, but Huo Xibai had not been cured for so long, so she did not dare to be careless.

Without fussing with a patient, Meng Xia wiped it for him. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, he pulled him back again——

"Where are you going?"

Her dark eyes stared at him for a moment. Meng Xia was speechless for a moment. Huo Xibai's eyes... were they so bright?

"I'll go back to my room and sleep."

As she said that, she yawned. He had been having recurring fevers at night these past few days, and Meng Xia always had to stay by the bedside, and her body couldn't bear it any longer.

"What should I do if I have a fever again at night?"

"Probably not."

Meng Xia frowned, "If you have a fever, just call me."

"It feels inconvenient."

Meng Xia's eyebrows tightened, thinking that I have stayed up several nights for you, and you are still not sensible at all!

"I'm really sleepy..."

"I didn't let you sleep."

Huo Xibai suddenly interrupted her. Meng Xia couldn't help but look down at the hand held by him. The next second she saw him patting the place beside her, "You sleep here."

Meng Xia glanced at it and looked slightly embarrassed, "Isn't this... a little inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Wasn't it always like this before?"

"It was before, it was because you were sick..."

"I'm sick too now."

Huo Xibai asked back with an innocent look on his face, but Meng Xia didn't know how to refuse for a moment. He froze in place for a long time without moving, and finally was pulled onto the bed by Huo Xibai.

"In order to take care of me these days, you haven't had a good rest. You've got dark circles under your eyes."

A pair of hands suddenly fell on her face, with scorching warmth. Meng Xia was startled and before she could resist, she heard Huo Xibai's voice again, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Meng Xia didn't say anything, but felt something strange in her heart——

After all, she was two years older and a girl. She had already had a certain understanding of the differences between men and women. Lying on the same bed with Huo Xibai was indescribably awkward—

Although he is sick, he is fourteen years old after all. A fourteen-year-old boy should understand the difference between men and women, right?

But seeing Huo Xibai holding her arm, looking like he completely trusted her, Meng Xia suddenly couldn't bear to push her away——

He is just a child and shouldn't understand this.

Although she was sleepy to death, her mind was still filled with messy thoughts. It was not until late in the night that Meng Xia finally couldn't hold on anymore and gradually fell asleep.

But what she didn't know was that after she fell asleep, the people around her suddenly opened their eyes and stared at her face in the dark night...
