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

Chapter 40 Be Good, Obedient
The moment the fingertips touched, it seemed as if a burst of static electricity exploded——

Meng Xia quickly retracted her hand and immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Huo Xibai was also stunned, staring straight at the pink face.

The already quiet room suddenly became even quieter. Meng Xia could even hear her own nervous heartbeat, especially since Huo Xibai's eyes kept falling on her. She could even sense the sudden ambiguity in the silent atmosphere.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately cleared her throat to break the atmosphere, "No, I just accidentally got a little water on it, it's okay."

Huo Xibai did not let go of her hair, "Normally it doesn't matter, but now you have a fever and you have to blow dry before you can sleep."

Just as Meng Xia was about to speak, he added, "Be good and be obedient."

The deep voice was soft and slow, with a seductive flavor.

"..."

He was obviously a younger man than himself, but occasionally he could always give her a posture that only a superior person could have, and he was gentle but also had an undeniable majesty.

Meng Xia did not refuse anymore and sat up obediently. Huo Xibai had already come over with a hair dryer——

The white, slender, well-jointed fingers inserted into her waterfall-like black hair, and slowly lifted up the strands of her hair. The black and white formed a strong visual contrast.

But Meng Xia couldn't see anything. He only lowered his head and stared at his toes, while the other senses of his body were doubled--

She could hear the whirring sound of the hair dryer, feel the heat waves of the wind blowing into her neck, and even feel Huo Xibai's fingers occasionally lightly brushing against her skin, causing a shiver like an electric shock... …

"All right."

The buzzing in his ears finally disappeared, and Meng Xia's empty brain finally regained consciousness. Before Huo Xibai could react, he took the lead and got into the quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep——

"I'm going to bed first."

As soon as Huo Xibai put away the hair dryer, he saw someone shrinking into the quilt. He couldn't help but smile, "Okay, good night."

"..." Meng Xia closed her eyes tightly and dared not speak. She could only listen to the movement around her with her ears raised. She heard Huo Xibai's footsteps walking away. After a while, she heard a "click"——

Huo Xibai turned off the light, and her eyes darkened.

After a while, there was the sound of rushing water again, and she heard Huo Xibai go to the bathroom. She breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened her eyes and took a sneak peek into the room. Only a night light was still on next to the sofa.

But the next second, her heart was high again——

Huo Xibai took a shower, which meant that he would definitely stay here for the night, but there was only one bed in this room, so...

The woman's eyebrows were twisted in confusion. Before the struggle came to an end, the sound of water stopped and Huo Xibai walked out of the bathroom.

Meng Xia was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing and pretended to be asleep, but the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer made her heartbeat and breathing go out of rhythm——

Huo Xibai stared at her without saying a word.

But for Meng Xia, who was not asleep at all, it was a torture. Just a second before she couldn't help but open her eyes, she suddenly felt Huo Xibai touching her face——

"Good night."

After saying only two words, Huo Xibai turned and left.

Meng Xia only heard a rustling sound, and a few minutes later, the room returned to calm.

After a while, she carefully opened her eyes and used her peripheral vision to scan the entire room, only to find that the last light had disappeared.

After adapting to the darkness for a long time, she finally found Huo Xibai's figure on the sofa——

A huge black figure huddled on the small sofa, looking a little aggrieved.

Her eyes flickered. Meng Xia suppressed the emotions in her eyes and closed her eyes again. I don't know if it was due to the effect of the medicine. This time she fell asleep very deeply and very quickly.
