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

"What? Does my face look good?"

The man suddenly looked up from the computer. Meng Xia avoided it for a moment and met his smiling black eyes——

Her heart tightened involuntarily, and Meng Xia quickly lowered her eyes to dodge, biting her lower lip to defend herself, "I just finished drinking the water and wanted you to pour me a glass of water."

"Oh, really? I thought you were looking at my face when you stared at me for a long time."

Huo Xibai didn't expose her, he turned around and helped her get a glass of water, but he did so in a deliberately protracted manner with a hint of tacit teasing.

Meng Xia wrinkled her nose and subconsciously retorted, "Do you... feel too good about yourself?"

Huo Xibai raised his lips and smiled, "Didn't you tell me before that I have the most beautiful face you have ever seen?"

"When did I say such a thing?"

"Ten years ago, when you first came to the Huo family."

"is it?"

Seeing Huo Xibai's expression not changing and his heart not beating, Meng Xia couldn't help but frown, "How can what he said at that time count?"

Huo Xibai's face changed slightly, "Why don't you count?"

"I was young at that time, and I hadn't seen many good-looking men, so of course I couldn't count."

Meng Xia answered as expected, unaware that the expression of the man beside him had changed, and his voice had become a little tighter, "So how many men have you seen since then? Whose face do you like more now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xia actually raised his chin and started thinking. After half a minute, before Huo Xibai ran out of patience, he pointed at the male protagonist in the TV series and said, "That's it. This male protagonist looks like this." It’s pretty good.”

Huo Xibai frowned and looked over, his eyebrows tightening involuntarily, "Do you... have this kind of taste now? Do you like people with unshaven beards and well-developed limbs?"

"Why do you have well-developed limbs? He is a tough guy with a cold face. Look at the muscles all over his body. They are full of explosive power and make him feel safe."

"Ah."

Huo Xibai raised his lips and sneered, "With a body as small as yours, you can't withstand his punch."

"Aren't we picking a man? We're not picking an opponent to fight with. Why should I get punched by him..."

Before he finished speaking, the man on the side suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his deliberately lowered voice revealed a bit of inexplicable danger, "What did you just say? Pick a man?"

"..."

Meng Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his eyes to drink water strategically. However, as soon as his hand touched the cup on the coffee table, it was snatched away by a big hand. When he raised his eyes, he met Huo Xibai's gloomy face - —

Pursing her lips, Meng Xia stared at him innocently, "Didn't you ask me to say that? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Huo Xibai laughed angrily at her pretending to be innocent, and then said, "Well, I'm unhappy, so I won't give you water."

With that said, the man stood up and left with the cup in hand. He just took two steps and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and took away the dessert in front of Meng Xia, "I also bought this cake... I won't give it to you either."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man actually went out with the water glass and dessert, leaving Meng Xia staring at his back in shock——

No, Huo Xibai is serious?

Although she admitted that she did do it on purpose just now, she was rushed there by Huo Xibai in a hurry, and she couldn't bear to see how proud he always looked, so she said that on purpose.

I didn't expect that he was really unhappy, in such a childish way...

Meng Xia couldn't describe what she was feeling in her heart right now. She just felt that it was very novel and magical——

It turns out that she and Huo Xibai can still get along like this...

Just as I was thinking about it, a man's faint voice suddenly sounded at the door again, "I said I was unhappy, and you really didn't even try to comfort me?"

coax?

Meng Xia looked at a loss when she caught a glimpse of the man who suddenly turned back.

Huo Xibai stood at the door and waited for a long time, but when he didn't hear any movement, he sighed softly, "Okay, I'll remember you first, and I'll coax you back with profit next time."

After saying that, the man took the water glass and the small cake and placed them in front of her.

Meng Xia: "..."
