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

With their lips touching each other, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to push him away, but then she realized it again——

With their current relationship, this kind of thing is inevitable.

So the raised hand was put down again, and the woman gently closed her eyes, looking like she was letting him have his way.

Seeing this, Huo Xibai could hardly suppress his excitement, and his movements suddenly became urgent. His big hands reached in along the edge of the quilt and touched her soft waist——

The moment his big hand came up, his body stiffened uncontrollably. Meng Xia suddenly opened his eyes and met those dark eyes——

Huo Xibai naturally noticed it, couldn't help but stop his movements, and asked her in a hoarse voice, "Isn't it possible?"

As he spoke, a thread of ambiguity emerged, and Meng Xia immediately blushed, lowering her head and not daring to look at him or speak.

Huo Xibai didn't give her a chance to escape. He lowered his head and kissed her again. But when he was about to take a step further, he suddenly felt the woman's body tremble slightly in his palm.

His eyes flickered, but the man let go of her, "Go to sleep."

Meng Xia, who was suddenly breathing freely, was stunned. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Huo Xibai pushed him into his arms, "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

She was not unwilling...

Meng Xia wanted to defend herself, but her body's reaction couldn't fool anyone, and besides... she was really not ready.

"You go to sleep, I'll stay with you, and I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Separated by a thick layer of quilt, Meng Xia was held in his arms. From her perspective, she could only see the man's Adam's apple rolling when he spoke, and her ears could just hear his thundering heartbeat——

From being chaotic to being calm and powerful, Meng Xia actually felt at ease as she listened, sleepiness came over her, and her breathing gradually became longer and more even...

Half asleep and half awake, I suddenly remembered something——

It seems that in the first year after arriving in the Huo family, Mrs. Huo once took Brother Huo to attend an event abroad. Huo Xibai and she were the only ones left at home.

But unexpectedly, there was a typhoon. One night there was lightning and thunder, causing a sudden power outage in the Huo family.

Meng Xia, who was already anxious, was so frightened that she immediately shrank into the quilt. She originally thought that a servant would come over, but she didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, no one was there.

Suddenly a thunder exploded above his head, and the white light of lightning lit up the whole room. Meng Xia couldn't bear it anymore, lifted up the quilt and ran out, but she happened to bump into Huo Xibai who had just left the room - —

"Where did you get the light?"

Seeing Huo Xibai holding a lamp in his hand, Meng Xia couldn't help but ask.

"The servant just sent it."    "Servant?"

Meng Xia was stunned. Her room was opposite Huo Xibai. Why was it only given to Huo Xibai but not to her?
  "What? Are you afraid of the dark?"

"No."

Meng Xia subconsciously denied it, but heard the young man chuckle, "Really? I originally planned to give this lamp to you."

"!"

Meng Xia immediately regretted it. Just when he was thinking about how to take back his words, he saw Huo Xibai leaving with a lantern and couldn't help but stop him, "Where are you going?"

"study."

After walking a few steps, the young man stopped again and turned to look at her, "Why don't you follow?"

"Oh! It's coming!"

For the first time, Meng Xia didn't frown when she heard Huo Xibai's voice, but was excited.

"It's so late, what are you doing in the study?"

"Read a book."

"Oh."

Meng Xia stopped talking and followed Huo Xibai to the study. She lit up the candles in the room one by one until the whole room was lit up. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he turned around, he met Huo Xibai's dark eyes, "Okay, you can go back."

...He just asked her to come over and light a candle?
  With a frown on his face, Meng Xia immediately made up a reason, "The final is coming soon, and I also want to read for a while."

The boy stared at her for a few seconds, but finally said nothing and just lowered his head to read.

Meng Xia felt happy and casually picked up a book and read it next to him.

The rumbling thunder outside continued, and the sound of turning books inside gradually began to sound. The dim candlelight illuminated the quiet room...

Second update, four updates will be resumed tomorrow
