The sled and the off-road vehicle stopped in front of the log cabin.
"WOOF!"
Cook excitedly spun around the yard a few times, then ran to Gu Ning and lifted her off the sled. He carried her as he dashed through a gap in the fence.
But his joy was short-lived. In his overexcitement and with the snow piled so deep in the yard, he failed to notice some firewood buried underfoot. He tripped, and Gu Ning tumbled with him into the snow.
"..."
Alex and the others rushed over.
Cook scrambled to help Gu Ning up but was swatted aside by a red blur that shot past. "So reckless! You'll get Xiao Ning hurt! Get out of the way!"
"Awooo..." Cook watched Gu Ning floundering in the snow, a helpless look on his face.
Barto scooped Gu Ning out of the snow. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Gu Ning wiped the snow from her face. Between her thick clothes and the deep snow, it was impossible to get hurt.
