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

In the end, Huo Xibai changed the table. While waiting for the meal, Huo Xibai carried Meng Xia to wash up. Meng Xia was shocked and had no time to say her rejection, so she could only let him carry her to the bathroom.

Huo Xibai squeezed the toothpaste and water for her, then turned to her and asked, "Do you need a chair?"

"Need not."

After all, she couldn't use her right leg for a long time, so she could stand for a long time with only her left leg.

Seeing Meng Xia washing her hands skillfully, without even needing his support, Huo Xibai suddenly lowered his eyes, a trace of ambiguity flashing across his eyes.

Under Huo Xibai's gaze, it only took Meng Xia two minutes to quickly end the fight. Seeing the man reaching out to hug her again, Meng Xia quickly raised her hand to refuse, "No, I can jump back by myself."

Huo Xibai didn't force her. He leaned against the door with his arms folded, squinting at her condescendingly, as if he was watching a good show.

This made Meng Xia, who originally thought it was nothing, stiffen up. When she thought that she would have to jump to the restaurant on one foot under the gaze of a man, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But she had already let out her words and could not go back on her words. Moreover, Huo Xibai looked like he had time to wait for her to perform, and stood at the door refusing to leave first.

After biting her lower lip and hesitating for two minutes, Meng Xia closed her eyes, suddenly took a deep breath, and slowly jumped out on one foot while holding on to the wall.

Before she even jumped two steps, she heard a burst of laughter from the man behind her, and her cheeks heated up. Before she could become angry, her body suddenly felt light——

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Meng Xia's heart tighten, and she subconsciously raised her hand to wrap around Huo Xibai's neck——

I don’t know whether it was because she had just touched cold water, but her hands were particularly cold. She suddenly touched the man’s overheated body temperature, or the back of his neck. It was like an electric shock, and both of them were shocked——

His narrow black eyes slightly narrowed, Huo Xibai stared at the woman in his arms for a moment, with a hint of lust in his eyes.

The overly direct and hot gaze made Meng Xia lower her head subconsciously to dodge, and she was about to take back her hand, but was stopped by the man in a deep voice, "Hold her tight, so as not to fall."

Her tight voice was somewhat ambiguous and hoarse. Meng Xia lowered her head and did not dare to say anything more, letting him carry her to the restaurant.

Half a minute later, she was put on the chair by Huo Xibai, but she saw the man lowering himself and squatting at her feet, lifting up the hem of her skirt with his big hands to check her wounds——

The moment her injured right foot was held by a warm hand, Meng Xia shrank unconsciously, but she heard the man frown and ask, "Does it hurt?"

Meng Xia shook his head subconsciously, then seemed to realize something was wrong and nodded quickly.

Huo Xibai had no intention of joking with her, and stared at her ankle with a frown on his face——

I don’t know if it’s because of her fair skin, but that area is red and swollen, making it look a bit shocking.

Especially above the redness and swelling, there was a scar that stretched several centimeters. Although the mark had faded a lot, it still made Huo Xibai's heart tighten. The scene of her jumping down from the building flashed again in his mind. It was simply a nightmare that had haunted him all these years...

Seeing the man's sullen expression and saying nothing, Meng Xia actually comforted him softly, "The doctor said it was just a slight damage to the ligament and it will be fine in a few days."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Xibai suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, with complex emotions in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

Meng Xia's eyes were startled. Before Meng Xia had time to think deeply, Huo Xibai had already stood up and left. After a while, he came over again with an ice pack.

"It will be a bit icey, please bear with it..."

For the first time, Meng Xia was startled when she heard a tone similar to coaxing a child from Huo Xibai's mouth, and then lowered her eyes, a complex look flashed across her eyes...
