I nodded. "If I don't forgive him, his dog might be euthanized."

"Eh, so serious?" Tang Xin was startled and subconsciously hugged Xiaobai in her arms tightly. Xiaobai stuck out his tongue and licked Tang Xin's hand, as if to say don't be nervous.

"Yes, that's true. If Xiaomeng was not satisfied and called the police instead of settling it privately, the matter would not be that simple." Aunt nodded.

"Auntie, forget it. Five thousand yuan is already a lot for medical expenses. I think he wanted to come and apologize, and he has his own difficulties. As long as he can take good care of his dog in the future, we can accept this result."

When my aunt and Teacher Song heard me say this, they had no choice but to nod and agree, "Xiao Meng is the person involved, we respect the child's choice."

"Okay, here's 5,000 yuan. I'll give it to you." Auntie took out a stack of Mao Zedong notes from her handbag and put them on the table. "I'll go back first. There's a lot of work to do at the office before the New Year. Come to my house for dinner after the New Year!"

Seeing the aunt's enthusiastic face, we naturally couldn't refuse.

After sending her aunt out, Xiaoling said angrily, "Sister, why are you so kind? I bought you off with just 5,000 yuan."

I was stunned and shook my head: "First of all, five thousand yuan is not a small amount. The injection only costs one thousand yuan. Secondly, Xiaoling, I want to ask you a question."

"Ok?"

"Do you think you could make a mistake?" I asked her.

"Made a mistake?"

"Yeah, anything. Getting a question wrong, leaving something behind, etc."

"I guess..." She nodded doubtfully.

"Other people make mistakes too... Isn't it a bit too cruel to deprive a dog of its life just because of a mistake made by the owner, which did not cause any major consequences? Moreover, the dog owner has already made compensation, and the other party has already realized his mistake. So we should forgive him."

"Then you should at least go and apologize," Xiaoling continued.

"I don't deny that." I nodded, "But what if they really have something urgent?"

"Sister, you think too well of me." Xiaoling frowned.

"Okay, okay, don't force your sister." Tang Xin interrupted, "Your sister is such a person, she always can't help but put herself in the other person's position and consider others. She can't bear to be cruel, and she is kind and cute." Tang Xin hugged me gently, "This is also what attracts me to your sister. Where can I find such a soft, kind and considerate girl? Do you think she was an angel in her previous life and came to the world to experience in this life?"

"Tang Xin!" I glared at her. "You talk as if I were a saint. I'm talking about my way of dealing with people. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to suffer a little loss."

"Xiaoling, don't listen to your sister. Don't be afraid when we encounter problems in the future. Fight for your rights and don't let yourself suffer any loss. Your brother-in-law will support you." Tang Xin sang a different tune from me.

"What are you doing?" I asked angrily.

"Xiao Meng, I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future! Your kindness and gentleness can only be seen by me! You and Xiao Ling have suffered so much over the years..."

“What’s wrong? Why are you so sentimental all of a sudden…” Although he said this, his eyes became moist for some reason.

Chapter 66: The Riddler

"Where are we going for dinner?" Teacher Song asked curiously while driving.

"Just follow the navigation and you'll know when you get there." Xiaoling kept it a secret.

"Is it necessary to leave an hour earlier?" my aunt asked curiously while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Because it's quite far!" Xiaoling sat between me and Tang Xin in the back row, looking very happy.

"It seems like we haven't hung out together like this for a long time?" Teacher Song glanced at us in the rearview mirror and smiled.

"Yes, don't you feel like home?" Auntie stretched out her hand and interlocked her fingers with Teacher Song.

"It is said that driving this way is slower?" Tang Xin said with a smile.

"Aunt! Don't disturb Teacher Song from driving!" I stopped her, "There are thousands of roads, but safety comes first, understand? I don't want Teacher Song to go to the hospital again!"

"Oh... that's right." Auntie hastily withdrew her hand, "Drive carefully!"

"Sister, your aunt is frightened by you..."

"No way!" I answered innocently.

"Hahaha, Xiaomeng is so cute," Tang Xin laughed out loud.

There were laughter and joy in the car, warm as spring. But outside the car, it started to rain, small raindrops hitting the roof and windshield, making a rustling sound. A line of words was also displayed on the central control of the car: Low temperature, please drive carefully.

"Are we leaving town?" I asked, leaning against the side window and looking at the gradually dimming scenery outside.

"Well, according to the navigation, it's still about 30 minutes away, right?" Aunt nodded.

"You will definitely be surprised when you get there!" Xiaoling said, patting her chest.

After a few minutes, the sound of raindrops became louder and gradually turned into the sound of tiny particles hitting each other. After a while, snowflakes as big as goose feathers floated down from the sky.

"Ah, it's snowing." said Teacher Song.

The snowflakes in front of the car were illuminated by the headlights, flying towards us in large flakes, and because of the airflow, they flew over the windshield and over our heads. We felt like we were traveling in a snow tunnel, like a dream.

"Ha, I haven't seen snow for a long time. The last time it snowed, it seemed to be on your car." Auntie was also a little excited, "I wonder if there will be snow accumulation this time."

"I don't know. The ground temperature is high. I don't think it can accumulate." Teacher Song shook his head and said with some regret.

"We're here!" Xiaoling said happily, pointing to a house in front.

Only then did I see from the car lights that we had unknowingly reached the beach! The house Xiaoling pointed to was not on the shore, but floating on the sea not far away.

"A restaurant on the sea?!" My aunt was a little surprised.

"Is this true?" Tang Xin, who was half asleep, sat up in shock and looked out the car window.

The colorful neon lights are particularly eye-catching in the pitch-black environment. The big words "Water Wonderland" surrounding the marquee look a bit tacky, but it does not hinder the high-end feel of the entire building under the colorful lights.

Teacher Song parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance of the restaurant, and a few of us got out of the car.

"Wow, it's so cold!" Tang Xin shivered as soon as she got out of the car. Indeed, compared to the warm inside of the car, it was still snowing outside and the cold wind was bitingly cold.

"Hurry, let's go in. I've booked a private room." Xiaoling led the way and led us towards the hotel.

The road to the hotel on the sea is unusual, it is a floating bridge on the sea. The floating bridge is made of wooden planks, with high handrails and mesh fences on the sides, and dense foam barrels, tires and other buoyancy components underneath. The floating bridge is made of steel pipes and iron chains welded together to form a bridge several dozen meters long.

Although it was made of steel pipes, it was still a little shaky when I walked on it. Xiaoling and Tang Xin each held one of my hands and walked on my left and right, as if this would make it more stable.

"Sister, please walk carefully and don't trip." Xiaoling reminded.

"Hold my hand tight." Tang Xin also said.

"You two, do you think I'm a porcelain doll?" I found it a little funny.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xin turned her head and looked at me seriously, saying, "Well, it needs more care than a porcelain doll. For example, it might trip or something at any time."

"How can... Ouch." Before I could even finish my reply, my left foot tripped over the slightly raised rubber mat. Luckily, two people were holding me up, otherwise I would have definitely fallen flat on my face.

"Do you have anything else to argue?" Tang Xin narrowed her eyes and looked at me helplessly.

"I..." I was discouraged and didn't know how to refute.

Fortunately, it was only a few dozen meters away, and I arrived at the hotel entrance in a few steps. When I opened the door, I was at the front desk, and the waiter came up to me and asked if I had a reservation.

Xiaoling answered quickly: "Yes, VIP box No. 666."

The receptionist was stunned, turned around and shouted to the back: "Bai Lu, your classmate is here!"

Just as we heard the sound of running on the floor, a mischievous figure appeared in front of us.

“Li Xiaoling!” Her eyes sparkled as she looked at us, “Teacher Song, Teacher Li, Teacher Tang! And Li Xiaoling’s aunt! You’re all here!”

Oh my god, isn’t this Bai Lu who added me as a friend?

"Bai Lu? Why are you here?" Teacher Song was a little surprised!

"Hehe, this is the store opened by my family!" Bai Lu said with some pride.

"Well, that day I was thinking about our dinner, but couldn't find a good restaurant. So I asked my good friend Bai Lu to help me with advice. I didn't expect her family runs a restaurant. What a coincidence!" Xiaoling explained excitedly, not noticing the passionate look in Bai Lu's eyes.

Tang Xin and I looked at each other and knew what was going on at once.

"Don't stand there, come to the box. I've told the kitchen staff that the food can be served." Bai Lu took Xiaoling's hand and led us to the second floor.

……

"This is a very good room with a view in the hotel. However, if we have dinner here, we can only see the lighthouse in the distance when we look out the floor-to-ceiling windows." Bai Lu pulled open the curtains of the room and said with some regret.

"But it doesn't matter. My dad is a great cook. You will definitely enjoy the meal!" She said as she skipped out.

"I really didn't expect that there is such a novel hotel here." Teacher Song exclaimed, "I can even feel the room swaying a little bit with the waves. This experience is amazing."

"It's rare that Xiaoling chose such a fun place for us. And the decoration looks very stylish." Aunt looked at the Western-style decoration of the box and nodded.

Unable to resist my curiosity, I asked Xiaoling, "Xiaoling, are you close to Bailu? Wouldn't it be expensive to come to their house?"

"Don't worry, sister. Bailu is my best friend in high school. She's very close to me." Xiaoling is a 100% straight girl, so she didn't realize it yet. "I usually help her so much, so she will naturally give me a discount. Of course, don't worry, I've received a lot of royalties in the past few years. This meal is just a drop in the bucket."

Xiaoling was still feeling smug, but Tang Xin and I looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

"Let's respect Xiaoling's choice!" I said to Tang Xin.

"Yeah...I think so too." Tang Xin replied.

"Huh? Are you dissatisfied?" Xiaoling didn't understand what we were talking about.

"No, it's not. You will understand it later."

"When did my sister become a riddler?"

Not in condition recently

Chapter 67 Xiaoling is not going home? !

"The food is served!"

Bai Lu walked in with a tray of food.

"This is our appetizer, saltwater white shrimp."

"Bai Lu, don't you want to sit down and eat with us?" Teacher Song pointed to an empty seat at the side and said, "It's such a big table, but there are only a few of us sitting here. Why don't you come and eat with us?"

"Thank you, Teacher Song. I've already eaten! I'll be the one serving you today!" Bai Lu shook her head.

White shrimp is a kind of sea shrimp. When cooked, its flesh is white, hence its name. Bailu’s white shrimp is cooked with salt, green onions, ginger and cooking wine. The aroma is fragrant, the shrimp meat is tender but not loose, fragrant and chewy, and accompanied by the freshness of the shrimp meat itself, it makes people unable to stop.

"Wow, it's delicious." Xiaoling praised.

"Really?" Bai Lu grinned, her happiness almost overflowing, "This is just the beginning, there will be better things to come!"
