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

"..."

Meng Xia was startled. She knew that what he said seemed wrong, but she didn't know what to say to refute it.

Just like Huo Xibai, she knew he was dangerous, but when he looked at her with those dark and deep eyes, she still couldn't help but fall into his trap step by step.

It was already half an hour after I came out of the restaurant.

As soon as they came out, a little girl came over with a smile and a flower basket, "Brother, do you want to buy a flower for your sister?"

Huo Xibai glanced at the half of the red roses left in the basket. Just as he was about to reach out, Meng Xia dragged him away, "No need..."

She doesn't like flowers in general, not to mention that when various festivals come, the price of roses soars. At this time, anyone who buys flowers is simply taking advantage of them.

The man was dragged a few steps away by her, but he couldn't help but look back, "Don't you like it? But what should I do? I kind of want to..."

Ok?

As if she didn't expect him to say that, Meng Xia paused and stared at him in disbelief.

"What? Can't you?"

Meng Xia moved her mouth, but those obsidian eyes stared at her for a moment, and she couldn't say any words of rejection.

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Xia took him back again. When the little girl saw the two people leaving and returning, her face suddenly lit up, "Brother, do you want to buy a flower for your sister?"

"My sister wants to buy it for me."

"Ok?"

The little girl was stunned. Meng Xia only felt the tip of her nose was slightly itchy, but Huo Xibai didn't feel any embarrassment.

"Give."

I randomly picked a branch from the flower basket and sent it over. The man who received the flower was very happy, staring intently at the rather gaudy red rose in his hand, as if he was admiring some rare treasure——

"This is how I feel when I receive flowers."

"what?"

Meng Xia didn't hear his words clearly for a moment, and couldn't help but move closer, but Huo Xibai had already turned around, took out his wallet, bought all the remaining flowers, and stuffed them into Meng Xia's arms - "Here you go."

"You, what are you doing?"

Meng Xia was puzzled. In her opinion, anyone who bought this kind of flower at a price that was several times more than usual was being taken advantage of.

But then she realized that that was Huo Xibai. Why was she worried about him?

"I just suddenly realized that I feel good about receiving flowers, so... I also want to pass on this feeling to you."

"Feeling?"

Meng Xia didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but Huo Xibai suddenly leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, "I like your flowers, and I also like your mood."

With just a touch like a dragonfly, Huo Xibai let go, but not completely -

One of his hands was still on her face, and there was only a few centimeters between them. His beautiful black eyes were staring at her for a moment, and there was deep affection in them that she couldn't understand——

"What about you? Do you like it?"

"..."

Breathing heavily, Meng Xia pursed her lips, not daring to look into his eyes for a moment.

Is Huo Xibai the kind of person who can talk about his love all the time?

But she can't do it, let alone such a thing as love...

Just as she was about to speak, Huo Xibai suddenly interrupted her, "If it's not the answer I want, you can answer me next time."

He is not afraid of waiting a little longer, he is just afraid that he will not get the result he wants.

After that, the man turned around and started driving, leaving Meng Xia staring blankly at his back under the streetlight. In his hand... he was still holding the red rose she gave him.

In her arms, she still held a large handful of red roses that he gave her. The rich floral fragrance invaded her sense of smell, just like Huo Xibai had invaded her life forcefully, making it inevitable for people to avoid it——

Although I can't say I like it very much, but... surprisingly I don't find it annoying.
