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

"As long as I'm here from now on, no one can bully you anymore."

The man's voice was low and deep, and his movements of kissing her were gentle and full of compassion, as if she were some fragile treasure.

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, and a flash of panic flashed through his heart. He was about to retort, "No one really bullies me... They all treat me..." Very good

After a pause, the remaining two words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them out. His nose suddenly felt sore, and the emotion he had just suppressed suddenly became unbearable——

Meng Xia finally couldn't help but threw herself into his arms, grabbed his clothes and choked, "Actually, I know everything. Whether it's my uncle's family, the Huo family, or the Song family, I know they have no obligation to be nice to me. I also know that they are kind to me, I know it...but I just don't live a happy life..."

"When I was at my uncle's house, I knew it was not easy for them, so I tried to spend as little money as possible. I also thought about going to work after graduating from high school to lighten their burden."

"When I was in the Huo family, I also wanted to study hard, learn design, be as good as Huo Xixi, and make Mrs. Huo happy."

"When I was at the Song family, I knew that Mrs. Song wanted a grandson, so after recovering from my leg injury, I immediately went to see a doctor and take medicine..."

"I'm really working hard. I'm obviously trying to do what they want, but it seems like I can't do it right..."

"Others say I'm lucky, but I'm really not happy at all. I really don't like them at all..."

Once the emotional gap is opened, enduring years of grievances is as unstoppable as a flood that suddenly opens.

Meng Xia hugged Huo Xibai and talked for a long time, crying like a teenager, just like when she ran away secretly, took the car to City A overnight, and cried so sadly in front of her parents' monument, Huo Xi Bai's heart contracted——

Seeing how well-behaved she is, even in this situation, she will still make excuses for those people, but they never know how to cherish her, and even deliberately trample on her kindness to deliberately make things difficult for her.

"Well, you don't have to force yourself to like them. I don't like them either."

Raising his hand to gently rub her forehead to comfort her, Huo Xibai's voice was choked and hoarse, "If kindness is not out of goodwill and without asking for anything in return, then it is not kindness."

"What's more, what if you admit that you are ungrateful? Wouldn't it be stupid to make yourself unhappy because of these worldly standards?" ˆ ˆ ˆ "...Is it really okay?"

Meng Xia looked up at him, her red eyes looking a little hesitant. No one had taught her this, and what Huo Xibai said was in line with what she had learned since childhood: "Filial piety comes first" and "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring." contradicts the principle.

"of course."

Huo Xibai gently touched the corners of her eyes and wiped away the tears for her, "As long as you live a happy life, what does it matter if you are a bad person? What's more, we are just not so good people."

"..."

Meng Xia blinked, as if it was difficult to understand.

Huo Xibai kissed her eyelids again and again, his movements gentle and pitiful, "It's okay if you don't understand. Now that I'm by your side, you don't need to understand."

"..."

Meng Xia was stunned, as if she suddenly understood the turbulent emotions hidden under those dark pupils, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Why...why are you so nice to me?"

"because I like you."

"why do you like me?"

Huo Xibai wanted to laugh a little. They have been together for so long. Is she a little slow to ask this question now?

But it might also be because she didn't start to care about this issue and his thoughts until now.

"No reason, I just like you."

"..."
