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

Chapter 32 Don’t be afraid that I’ll go in in the middle of the night and take advantage of others
"..."

Meng Xia pursed her lips and explained in a low voice, "I didn't go back because I avoided you on purpose. I just forgot to bring the key and the door couldn't be locked."

Although she was indeed avoiding him, she couldn't sleep in the shop on purpose.

I don't know if she was frightened, but the woman lowered her head and kept her voice low. She actually looked a bit well-behaved that she hadn't seen in a long time.

Huo Xibai glanced at her, and then remembered the lock that had just been hung outside the door. His expression softened a little, but his voice was still tight, "Then why didn't you call me?"

"..."

Meng Xia stopped talking, but heard the man's chuckle, "So you're not avoiding me, but you just don't want to ask me for help, so you'd rather sleep on a cold bench here? Even when there's not even a door lock?"

"..."

This time Meng Xia had no way to explain, so she simply pursed her lips and said nothing.

Huo Xibai became angry when he saw her look like that, but he saw the dark circles under her eyes, so he didn't say anything in the end.

He went home and got the keys for her, then came over and locked the store door, and then drove her home.

I don't know if it was because she was too tired or because she didn't get a good rest before. It was only a few minutes away, but Meng Xia actually fell asleep anyway.

Even when Huo Xibai carried her upstairs, she didn't notice it. It wasn't until Huo Xibai pressed the password that she suddenly woke up and jumped out of his arms in fright.

"Thank you, I'll just do it myself."

With that said, she quickly pressed the password and then flashed into the room. Just as she was about to close the door, she remembered something and paused for two seconds, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, thank you."

Then before Huo Xibai could react, he quickly closed the door with a "snap", leaving Huo Xibai stunned on the spot, staring at the closed door and curling his lips, "Don't you change the password? Aren’t you afraid that I might go in in the middle of the night and take advantage of others?”

"..."

Meng Xia, who was leaning behind the door, was stunned. Could he?
After a while, the door closed outside. Meng Xia glanced at the cat's eye and saw that Huo Xibai had left. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously opened the door. Just as he was about to change the password, the door next to him was opened -

I saw Huo Xibai standing at the door with a calm face, squinting at her with his arms folded, "Tsk, I was just talking. I didn't expect you really didn't believe me at all. It's a shame I was so worried just now. you.""……"

Meng Xia suddenly froze in embarrassment. After hesitating for two seconds, he still had the courage to change the new password. Then he straightened his spine and explained in a nonchalant manner——

"Aren't you saying that I lack security awareness? When a man and a woman live together in the same room, keeping the door lock secret is the most basic security awareness."

Huo Xibai leaned against the door, his eyebrows raised slightly, "I asked you to be vigilant outside, but it turned out that you were lucky, so you used all your vigilance on me?"

"..."

Meng Xia pursed her lips and wanted to say that it was because he was the most dangerous, but Huo Xibai intuitively didn't want to hear this and simply skipped the topic, "Do you have anything else to do? It's getting late and I need to rest. …”

Before she finished speaking, Huo Xibai suddenly took her arm and said, "Let's talk."

Without waiting for Meng Xia to agree, he said to himself, "After all, it has become a fact that we live together. Since there is no way to change it, you might as well accept it."

"It's no use hiding all the time. After all, we have to live together for a long time. You can't hide like this all the time, right?"

Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but frown, "Am I willing to hide? Don't you insist on moving in?"

"Meng Xia, it's meaningless for you to say that. Do I have to move in? Aren't you unwilling to live with me?"

Meng Xia frowned subconsciously and retorted, "Why should I go to your house?"

"Why do you say?"

Huo Xibai didn't answer the question, but suddenly stepped forward and touched her eyebrows, "Don't tell me that after so many years, you still can't tell how I feel about you?"

"Who do you think I went abroad for? Who do you think I came back to for?"

"..."
