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

The cold wave this time was quite serious. Mrs. Huo and the others were left abroad and could not return home. Mr. Huo usually didn't see people, especially at this time, but occasionally he was seen in the news.

So Meng Xia and Huo Xibai spent the entire Spring Festival together——

On New Year's Eve, as soon as Huo Xibai could get out of bed, it was hard to see the sun outside, so Meng Xia asked him to go to the yard to bask in the sun.

Huo Xibai was unwilling and insisted on following her into the kitchen, like a clingy little tail that couldn't be shaken off.

If Meng Xia couldn't be driven away, she had no choice but to let him stay——

The young master didn't understand anything. Standing outside the kitchen with piercing eyes, he looked a bit like a supervisor, but his eyes kept wandering around Meng Xia.

"What are you looking at?"

Meng Xia couldn't stand being stared at, so she couldn't help but speak.

Huo Xibai pursed his lips and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm making dumplings."

"Then why do you put money in the dumplings? Isn't it dirty?"

"I've cleaned it and it's not dirty. It's a custom in my mother's hometown to put coins into the dumplings. Who knows when the time comes that this coin dumpling will mean that the new second will bring wealth and good luck. "

"..."

Huo Xibai said nothing, watching the dumplings come out of her hand one by one. Even the single mechanical movement suddenly felt pleasing to the eye.

-

After dinner, Meng Xia went to Huo Xibai with a plate of cooked dumplings, "Do you want to eat?"

Huo Xibai nodded, and Meng Xia immediately fed one into his mouth——

Huo Xibai only took a bite, tasted the coin immediately, and spit it out, causing Meng Xia to shout exaggeratedly, "Wow! You have eaten the coin dumpling, then you will definitely be successful next year. An'an."

"Isn't it good to have abundant wealth and good luck?"

"Hey, it's all the same. It has a good meaning anyway!"

Meng Xia was very excited. Her parents had given her little surprises like this in the past. This was the first time she had prepared them for others. Although Huo Xibai's expression was not vivid enough, compared to before, his willingness to eat was already a big improvement. .

It seems that a serious illness before has also brought them closer.

Meng Xia couldn't help but feel relieved, and then as if she remembered something, she handed something to Huo Xibai, "Here you are, Happy New Year."

Huo Xibai was stunned when he saw the red envelope handed to him, but Meng Xia thought he was disgusted, "Don't think I'm stingy, I don't have much money left, and the New Year's red envelope is just for good luck."

"No, I like it very much."

Huo Xibai subconsciously explained, "I like it very much. This is the first time I have received a red envelope."

"How is that possible? Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo don't usually give it to you?"

Of course Meng Xia didn't believe it. The Huo family was so rich that they wouldn't be stingy about this.

Huo Xibai explained, "Because there is no shortage of anything in the Huo family, there is no need for such things."

"……Ah."

Meng Xia sneered. Fortunately, she was worried that Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo were not at home, and Huo Xibai would feel a sense of disparity if he didn't receive the red envelope. It turned out that they didn't need it at all.

"Since you don't lack anything, then give it back to me..."

Meng Xia was about to reach out to take it, but Huo Xibai raised his hand to dodge——

Taking advantage of his height advantage, Huo Xibai curled his lips and smiled provocatively, "If you can get it, I'll give it back to you."

"you!"

Meng Xia's eyes widened immediately, and she subconsciously reached out to reach it, but Huo Xibai did not do what she expected. He raised his hand higher and higher, and Meng Xia could only jump up to reach it...

As you came and went, Huo Xibai suddenly bumped into the sofa behind him. His figure swayed, and Meng Xia also fell into the sofa together——

Huo Xibai groaned as his body sank. He looked up and met Meng Xia's panicked eyes——

The moment their eyes met, something flashed through his heart so fast that Huo Xibai couldn't catch it.

After a few seconds of silence, Meng Xia reacted first, "Are you okay?"

"What do you say?"

Meng Xia panicked, thinking that Huo Xibai's body was just in good shape, so he couldn't break it. He quickly stood up, but Huo Xibai grabbed his wrist, "What New Year gift do you want?"

"Gift?"
