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

Chapter 38 So be good and be obedient
After Meng Xia drank the medicine, he fell asleep for a while. His head was a little groggy, and he didn't want to see Huo Xibai's face.

After this sleep, she slept straight into the night. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside. She subconsciously looked for Huo Xibai's figure, but found that the man was not in the ward at all.

Just as he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, he heard the door of the room being opened, followed by a low and familiar male voice, "Where are you going?"

Meng Xia paused, but before she could speak, Huo Xibai walked up to her in two or three steps and took her temperature. After finding that the fever had subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief and bought the He brought the things over and said, "Come here and eat something first. You've been sleeping all day and you haven't eaten anything yet."

As he spoke, Huo Xibai fiddled with the tableware for her. Seeing that Meng Xia didn't move at all, he frowned and put the chopsticks into her hand, threatening softly, "If you want me to feed you in person, just say so. It’s not like I can’t satisfy you.”

"..."

His eyes flickered, and Meng Xia obediently picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

She originally thought that Huo Xibai would also eat with her, but she didn't expect that the man just sat across from her with a cup of coffee and opened his notebook.

Is he not hungry?

In the quiet space, only the sound of a man typing on the keyboard could be heard, causing Meng Xia, who had been eating silently with his head down, to look twice more——

But she didn't expect that when she raised her head, the man looked over with awareness. Their eyes met in an instant, and Meng Xia's breath was suffocated——

"what happened?"

Huo Xibai thought something was wrong with her and subconsciously cared about her.

This sentence stunned Meng Xia and shook her head, "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, she added as if remembering something, "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"If the fever doesn't come back tonight, I should be able to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow afternoon."

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

Meng Xia frowned slightly, "Can't we be discharged from the hospital now? I have to go to work tomorrow."

Yesterday, he was late and had half a day's salary deducted. Today, he suddenly fainted and asked for leave. If he asked for leave again tomorrow... Meng Xia didn't dare to think about his salary next month.Finally, as if afraid that he would disagree, he added, "And I'm fine now."

Huo Xibai stopped what he was doing, opened his eyelids and looked at her without saying a word——

Meng Xia's scalp was numb from being stared at. Just when he was about to explain, he suddenly heard him sigh softly, "You are sick now and I don't want to argue with you, so you should be good and obedient, okay?"

What was supposed to be a forced statement was actually dragged out by his low and lazy tone, which made him feel gentle and doting.

"..."

Meng Xia pursed her lips and actually swallowed the words that were on her lips, then she bowed her head and ate obediently.

Seeing her sudden obedient look, Huo Xibai couldn't help but curl his lips and came to her side with his notebook in his arms, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Meng Xia glanced at the large table of things Huo Xibai bought and said, "It's not bad."

She is not picky about food, not to mention that the ones he bought are not cheap at first glance, and they naturally taste good.

"Seeing you eating so deliciously makes me a little hungry."

"Then...you want to eat together?"

Meng Xia didn't quite understand what he meant. She originally thought that he bought so much just to eat together, but she didn't expect that he kept sitting there holding a cup of coffee.

And this is what he bought. He can eat it whenever he wants without her permission.

Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Xibai suddenly lowered his head and bit off half of the shrimp dumplings left on her chopsticks, and then smiled with a smile on his face, "I treat you to something, and you feed me something. Reciprocity is not too much, right?"

"..."
