[Her dad, well, let’s just say he’s truly a good man—the only good person in their whole family.]
[Tell us more!]
[After Xiao Xuan’s matter was exposed, her mom took her and ran away. Not only did she take all the family’s money, but she also spread rumors about that man, accusing him of abandoning his wife and child.]
[That man calmly accepted it all, and even took on the responsibility. He paid all of the girl’s medical expenses himself, working several jobs a day. And as for that girl’s brother, although he’s still in prison now, it was because Xiao Xuan’s father agreed to forgive him and push for a reduced sentence. Otherwise, since it was actually attempted murder, he could very well have been sentenced to life.]
[Even the girl’s parents’ funeral arrangements were all handled by him. I heard that when the brother found out his parents and sister had all committed suicide, he also wanted to end his life in prison. But it was Xiao Xuan’s father who persuaded him, telling him to live on, get out someday, and take revenge on them. He promised he would wait for him, and that was the only reason the brother kept living.]
[Seriously? Isn’t this man basically a living saint? His wife and daughter did all those evil things, and he’s the one taking responsibility? Isn’t he the ultimate fool here!]
[Exactly! If he really wanted to take responsibility, shouldn’t he have dragged Xiao Xuan and her mother back to pay for their crimes? Instead, he let them run off to another city to harm more people. Honestly, I don’t think this guy’s that good either!]
[Now that you put it that way, I’m starting to think something’s off too. There has to be more to this. I just don’t believe there’s such a pure-blooded idiot in this world!]
The live chat was in an uproar, everyone having their own opinions about the matter.
“Milk Tea Only with Taro”s dad had already called the police.
He would not let Xiao Xuan and her mother get away!
He was determined to make them pay the price!
Before long, the police arrived.
After getting a handle on the situation, they took all involved parties back to the station.
Ruan Xingyao also cut off the livestream connection.
She waved at the camera and said, “Alright, family, that’s the end of today’s stream. Let’s meet again next time!”
With that, she quickly shut down the stream despite everyone asking her to stay.
The moment the camera went off, Ruan Xingyao couldn’t hold back and let out a huge yawn.
This had been the longest livestream since she came into this world.
Her head felt unbearably heavy now, and her thoughts were no longer sharp.
Ruan Xingzhuo handed her a glass of warm water, just the right temperature, and said, “Sis, drink some water, soothe your throat. You worked hard today.”
Ruan Xingyao gulped it all down in one go and let out a satisfied burp, finally feeling much better.
She said, “Let’s go out for some barbecue! I’m craving barbecue!”
Just mentioning it made her mouth water nonstop, her eyes sparkling.
You Huan had no objections, though she was a bit worried. “Xingxing, do you still have the energy to go out? Should I have someone deliver it instead?”
Ruan Xingyao shook her head firmly. “No, no way! I need to go outside and breathe some fresh air, clear my head. If I keep staying cooped up in here, I’ll go dumb.”
“Then let’s go! I know a place with really good food, I’ll take you there!” You Huan said.
Although she hadn’t been back in the country long, she was already very familiar with all the places to eat, drink, and have fun in Ning City.
She definitely wouldn’t let Ruan Xingyao down!
Ruan Xingyao nodded, immediately getting up to head out.
But before she could take two steps, Baiyi blocked her path.
Baiyi tilted his big head up to look at Ruan Xingyao.
“werwerwerwer! werwerwerwer!”
【Human! Are you going out? Not taking this dog along? Are you going to abandon this dog?】
“werwerwerwer! werwerwerwer!”
【Human! This dog heard everything! You’re going out to eat good food! This dog doesn’t care! This dog is going too!】
Ruan Xingyao turned to You Huan and asked, “Huahuan, the place you mentioned, can we bring Baiyi along?”
You Huan said, “Of course, we can sit outside. That should be fine.”
“Alright then!” Ruan Xingyao instructed Ruan Xingzhuo, “Xiaozhuo, put clothes on Baiyi, we’re heading out.”
She didn’t have any strength left at this point—couldn’t carry Baiyi, couldn’t even hold the leash.
What else could Ruan Xingzhuo do?
He’d been given his assignment loud and clear.
He immediately strapped on Baiyi’s harness and led him out the door.
The three of them and the dog went out together, and You Huan’s driver was already waiting with the car downstairs.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the barbecue place You Huan had mentioned.
It was a lively food stall, full of smokey aromas.
Just from the look of it, you could tell the food was delicious—and there were indeed a lot of people.
Fortunately, their timing was perfect.
A table had just cleared, so they could sit down right away.
You Huan directly told the boss to grill one of everything on the menu and also ordered a case of beer.
Ruan Xingyao rested her chin on her hand and said, “You two… can you even drink alcohol?”
Two underage kids, and they still wanted beer?
You Huan leaned against Ruan Xingyao, acting cutesy. “It’s just a few days away from legal age, it doesn’t matter, Xingxing.”
Ruan Xingyao herself wasn’t too strict about such rules, but still—since they were outside, what if…
Meanwhile, Ruan Xingzhuo had already opened a bottle of beer and poured three glasses.
He said, “Sis, just turn a blind eye this time.”
Maybe You Huan didn’t know, but he himself definitely wasn’t drinking for the first time.
From the original body’s memories, Ruan Xingyao also recalled that the first time Ruan Xingzhuo drank was when the original her had brought him along—and the kid had pretty good tolerance too.
So she didn’t want to be a buzzkill.
She picked up her glass and said, “Well, rounding up, the two of you are basically adults already. Come on, cheers!”
You Huan immediately broke into a wide smile, her voice sweet as she shook her head against Ruan Xingyao’s shoulder. “Yay! I knew Xingxing was the best!”
“Cheers!”
The three clinked glasses, downed a gulp of beer, and instantly felt the fatigue melt away.
This, however, made Baiyi anxious beyond belief.
Baiyi propped his front paws on Ruan Xingzhuo’s leg, bouncing up and down, wanting a sip too.
You Huan deliberately teased him, bringing the glass close to his nose and shaking it, purposely provoking him. “Hehe, you can’t drink this!”
Baiyi barked “werwer” and even bared his teeth at You Huan.
Even though You Huan couldn’t understand what he was saying, from his expression she could tell it must’ve been something filthy.
The more she knew that, the more her curiosity was piqued.
You Huan tugged at Ruan Xingyao’s arm and asked, “Xingxing, what did Baiyi call me? Tell me, please!”
Ruan Xingyao took another sip of beer before replying, “Don’t bother, it’s a nasty comment.”
She really didn’t want to repeat those words in front of such a cute and pretty girl.
Seeing Ruan Xingyao unwilling to spill, You Huan didn’t press further.
She tapped Baiyi on the head and said, “Hmph, stinky dog, no meat for you later!”
But despite her words, You Huan had already given Baiyi a piece of watermelon to eat first.
Baiyi was just like a child—once he had food, he immediately made up with You Huan again.
