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

night.

"Ding dong."

When the doorbell rang outside, Meng Xia had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair. She faintly heard the movement and couldn't help but be startled. Seeing Huo Xibai's angry look at that time, she thought he was going to leave for a few more days this time, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Coming back soon?
After a pause in her thoughts, she suddenly realized something was wrong. It wasn't like Huo Xibai didn't know the password, so why did he press the doorbell?
But it was so late, who else could it be besides Huo Xibai?

Thinking of this, she immediately turned off the hair dryer, and sure enough she heard the doorbell still ringing outside.

"Who?"

Meng Xia casually grabbed a coat and put it on. Meng Xia opened the door and walked out. She stopped at the door and asked again, "Who is it?"

There was suddenly no sound outside. Meng Xia was confused for a while. Just when he was about to open the door to check, some social news such as "housebreaking and robbery" and "illegal break-in" suddenly flooded into his mind. His hand holding the doorknob couldn't help but pause -

Her heart tightened, Meng Xia looked out of the peephole warily, but found that there was no one outside the door, and she suddenly became even more nervous!

Could it be that someone was really hiding outside, waiting for her to open the door? !
"Who? Who's out there?"

She raised her voice and asked, while staring at the peephole carefully, but there was still no movement outside, as if the doorbell just sounded was just her auditory hallucination.

However, Meng Xia did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he thought of some bizarre supernatural events from some social news, and his heart became even higher——

Subconsciously, she took the umbrella by the shoe cabinet and held it in front of her. She neither dared to open the door and go out to take a look, nor did she dare to go back. After all, she was very sure that there was no auditory hallucination just now, so she could only freeze in place and couldn't move for a while. ——

Time passed by, and the surroundings were so quiet that Meng Xia could even hear her own pounding heartbeat.

I don't know how many minutes later, Meng Xia suddenly took a deep breath, held the umbrella tightly with one hand, and held the door handle with the other hand. Just as he was about to turn the door lock, there was a sudden movement in the quiet space——

"Buzz..."

My heart trembled violently!
"Who!"

Meng Xia was so frightened that she leaned close to the door and looked around in panic. After a few seconds, she realized that the movement came from the vibrating cell phone in her pocket——

After the false alarm, she felt particularly cordial when she saw the courier delivery phone number marked on it, "Hello? Hello."

"Ms. Meng, right? Your express delivery has arrived. It was just delivered to your house and no one answered the phone. I left it at a nearby express delivery point. Please go and pick it up yourself."

"Oh, okay, thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Xia saw the missed call record from more than ten minutes ago, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a courier. It seemed that she had scared herself...

Glancing at the umbrella tightly held in her hand, Meng Xia felt dumbfounded for a moment. When did she become so timid?

But then she realized that she had never been brave, and she had almost never lived alone since she was a child. When she first moved here, she could sleep peacefully listening to the noise of playing games next door.

Now that Huo Xibai is not here, several rooms are dark, and the lights in the corridor are not particularly bright. At first glance, it seems a bit eerie.

Especially in Huo Xibai's restaurant, there are two tall pots of green plants. From her point of view, it looks like two people are standing...

Meng Xia was frightened by her own thoughts. She quickly shook her head, shook off those messy thoughts, put on her clothes and went out to get the express delivery——
