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

"So why can't you accept it?"

"Why can't you accept that you are just jealous?"

"Why can't you accept the fact that you just like me?"

Several questions were thrown at her, which made Meng Xia a little confused. Is she angry because she is jealous? Is she jealous because she likes Huo Xibai?

She didn't know that this feeling she had never experienced before made her feel strange and frightened. She subconsciously turned her head and didn't dare to look at Huo Xibai, but Huo Xibai pinched her chin hard to prevent her from escaping -

"Is it so difficult for you to admit that you like me?"

"..."

The dark eyes stared at her for a moment, and the persistence in his eyes made Meng Xia feel guilty. She lowered her eyes and didn't know how to answer. How could she admit something that she was not sure about?

They stayed like this for a moment, and suddenly there was a pain on my lip——

Huo Xibai suddenly bit her and said aggrievedly, "What do you mean by not talking? Do you still want to deny it? Are you really not willing to coax me with even a nice word?"

As he said that, his expression suddenly changed as if he remembered something, and his gloomy eyes stared at her fiercely, "Could it be that you are still thinking about that Song Zhihuai now? Do you still like him in your heart?"

what? What is he talking about?

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly mention this. Meng Xia frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does it have to do with Song Zhihuai? Why did you suddenly mention Song Zhihuai?"

"Because I'm jealous of him."

"A person who I don't care about at all, who I have never looked at, has you so easily. You don't even know how envious and jealous I am."

"Because I care about you, even if I know he is nothing, I will still be angry. You are also now..."

"Because you care about me, even if it smells a little bit like perfume, you can't help but think about it and get angry."

"..." After talking for a long time, he came back again.

Meng Xia was startled and curled his lips, "I never said that..."

"You didn't say it, but that's what you thought in your heart."

Huo Xibai suddenly interrupted her words, leaned closer, and gently pressed his forehead against hers. The distance between the two was only a few centimeters, and their breaths were intertwined with each other——

"I know...you like me."

"You are thinking too much, I..."

The man's determined tone made Meng Xia frown. Meng subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she saw Huo Xibai's eyes, the words came to her lips.

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but chuckle, "Look, you can't even fool yourself, how can you fool me."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and Meng Xia suddenly pushed him away, turned around and ignored him, "You drank too much, I don't understand what you are saying."

Huo Xibai refused to let her go. He took her into his arms from behind, leaned on her shoulder and whispered softly, "It's not a shameful thing, why don't you admit it? I say I like it every time, and I still don't I haven’t heard you say once that you like me..."

Probably because his drunkenness had not completely subsided, his tone of speech was a little slower than usual, revealing a bit of vague grievance.

Meng Xia couldn't help biting her lip. She was just a little confused and a little scared——

Every time I deliver sincerely, I get hurt again and again, so instead of being disappointed and sad in the future, it is better not to have too many expectations in the beginning——

In this way, at least until the day when they really want to separate, she should be able to leave with dignity...
