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

Huo Xibai followed Meng Xia step by step, but when he was about to enter her room, he hesitated and stood at the door, afraid to go in.

He couldn't remember what happened last night at all. He only remembered a few fragments. He seemed to be holding Meng Xia hard, and Meng Xia was crying in his arms...

He couldn't tell whether this was a dream or something that really happened in reality. He just caught a glimpse of Meng Xia's red and swollen eyes, and Huo Xibai was a little flustered for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Meng Xia didn't seem to notice such a big person standing at the door. He sat there eating the breakfast he had just bought, then started cleaning the room, and then took out a big basin and started washing clothes——

Ever since Huo Xibai changed the washing machine, she has been washing clothes by hand in the room.

Her bathroom was just on the right side of the door. From Huo Xibai's angle, he could just see her back squatting on the ground.

Glancing at her right leg with a somewhat problematic posture, the man frowned and asked in a low voice, "Isn't there a washing machine? Why do you have to wash it by hand?"

Meng Xia turned her back to him and said nothing, but the movements of her hands did not stop.

Huo Xibai pursed his thin lips, knowing of course that she didn't want to use his things. Before, he might have just picked up her clothes and stuffed them into the washing machine, but now...

He was suddenly a little unsure, even afraid--

I'm not sure what Meng Xia is thinking now, and I don't dare to offend her.

After hesitating for a moment, he suggested in a low voice, "If you really don't want to use it... I can get the original washing machine back."

In fact, he had thrown away the original one a long time ago. Huo Xibai was just worried that Meng Xia would not accept his things, so he deliberately said this. Anyway, she would not be able to tell if the one he bought was exactly the same.

The woman who had always had her back turned her head slightly and said sarcastically, "Didn't you say you couldn't fit two sets before, but now you can?"

"..."

Huo Xibai pursed his lips, and his deliberately lowered voice seemed a little aggrieved, "I can free up the study, and I will find all the other household appliances for you and put them in the study."

"No, I don't have the money to pay the rent for another room, and I don't want to use your room in vain."

Meng Xia refused quietly, and Huo Xibai immediately said, "Then I'll let you have the kitchen and put my things in the study."

Finally, fearing that she would not accept it, he added an explanation, "Those are public areas to begin with, and the rent you pay includes the right to use the public areas and the use of public supplies."

"So you don't have to give up these rights because of me."

"Besides, it's going to be winter soon, so you can't wash things like this all the time."

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, as if she had never seen Huo Xibai talk to her so slowly and calmly. She couldn't help but stop what she was doing and turned to look at him——

Caught off guard, their eyes met. Huo Xibai's heart thumped. He was a little panicked for a moment and subconsciously looked away.

Seeing something like panic on Huo Xibai's face for the first time, Meng Xia couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and looked at it for two more seconds.

Huo Xibai became even more nervous. He clenched his hands behind his back, but pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you agree?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xia suddenly stood up and came over. Huo Xibai's heart tightened. He was hesitating and didn't know what to say when he saw the woman slam the door shut, "It's so noisy."

"..."

Huo Xibai, who was almost hit on the nose, froze on the spot. It took him a while to realize that Meng Xia had actually locked him out, and she still thought he was noisy?He was obviously thinking about her!

Just as he was about to knock on the door to look for her, his raised hand stopped in mid-air, and finally dropped weakly——
