Nan Yu set down the medical kit she held, entered the bathroom, and said to Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, come in. You're very dirty, I'll give you a wash."
Xiao Ba obediently walked in.
The bathroom was spacious, large enough for the sizable Xiao Ba to stand in.
Nan Yu removed the dog leash around Xiao Ba's neck, turned on the warm water, and wet its white fur.
Then she used osmanthus-scented body wash on him, gently working it into a lather.
As she massaged him, Nan Yu said, "Xiao Ba, you'll stay here tonight, and tomorrow I'll contact Brother Ren to have him come pick you up. Be good and go home."
She would have to go to the hospital tomorrow to treat her mother and wouldn't have time to watch Xiao Ba all the time.
The other people so afraid of Xiao Ba probably wouldn't take good care of him, so the best solution was to send him back to the zoo.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, sadness filled Xiao Ba's dark eyes, brimming with glistening tears, and he began to sob.
"Woo—"
