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

The moment their eyes met, Huo Xibai was suddenly shocked. The woman seemed to have just come out of the bathroom. She was fragrant and soft, with a thin layer of red on her white and tender skin, and a pair of wet deer-like eyes staring straight at him - —

The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, his eyes deepened, and there was a hint of lust in his eyes.

He couldn't tell whether it was her eyes that were too seductive or the faint fragrance floating in the air that tempted him. Huo Xibai unconsciously tightened his arms, lowered his body and gradually came closer -

"What are you going to do?"

The man's hard chest suddenly pressed against the softness of her chest. Meng Xia, who was still immersed in pain, was startled. Her eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

Realizing that the soft body in his arms suddenly stiffened, Huo Xi glanced at Bai and suddenly came back to his senses. He caught a glimpse of the panic in the woman's eyes, and quickly closed his eyes and helped Meng Xia stand up straight.

Before she could react, he hugged her tightly——

"I'm scared to death. Didn't I ask you to call me when you have something? Why are you jumping around alone? If I hadn't arrived just in time, wouldn't you have fallen down again?"

A deep voice fell from above her head, with a hint of panic and blame after being frightened.

The sudden change made Meng Xia, who was still a little angry, suddenly put out the fire, pursed her lips and defended herself in a low voice, "If you hadn't come in suddenly and scared me, I wouldn't have..."

Before she finished speaking, the man suddenly let go of her. A look of disbelief flashed across his face first, and then he slowly lowered his head, and his tone became self-blame, "I'm sorry, it was me who almost caused you to fall..."

"Forehead……"

Meng Xia was startled by the sudden show of weakness, and quickly explained, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to say that it's okay for me to be alone..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly hugged by a man. Before Meng Xia had time to react, she heard him whisper in her ear, "Even if you can do it alone, I'm still worried about you, even if there's only one chance in ten thousand." , I still don’t want you to get hurt again…”

"So next time if anything happens, just call me, okay?"

"..."

Her breath was suffocated, and the man's hand that she had planned to push away suddenly froze in place. Meng Xia didn't know whether she had changed or Huo Xibai had changed——

It was obvious that he rejected her idea, but not only did she not feel disgusted, she could even hear a trace of tenderness and concern in him.

Is it because he has been taking care of him recently?

The hand that wanted to push away slowly dropped, and the rejection that had reached the corner of his mouth turned into a low moan, "...Yeah."

Hearing the woman's answer, Huo Xibai could not help but feel a flash of pride in his eyes——

Sure enough, it's more useful to pretend to be nice.

Ever since he accidentally approached Meng Xia and pretended to be good in front of her two days ago, and was successfully fed by her, he finally figured out how to get along with Meng Xia——

For someone like her who takes soft things rather than hard words, pretending to be good and pitiful is more effective than any other means.

I just didn't expect that after ten years, she would still do this. She really doesn't have a long memory.

But this way, things become much easier. After all, he was able to deceive her once before and now he is confident that she can take the bait willingly.

His eyes flickered, and Huo Xibai suddenly let go of her as if he remembered something, "Sorry, I made your clothes wet."

"fine……"

She glanced at the area on her shoulder where his hair was wet, and then looked at the man's wet hair that was still dripping with water, and then she remembered that the man seemed to have come to her to borrow a hairdryer.

"Do you want to blow dry your hair?"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Xibai took over, "Would it be too troublesome for you?"

"Forehead……"

She just wanted to lend him the hairdryer. Did he misunderstand something?

But now that the words have come to this, can she still refuse?

Catching a glimpse of the man's expectant eyes, Meng Xia could only accept her fate, "...then go over and sit down."
