"We can take it home," Duan Xi said.
Hearing this, Jiaojiao turned around in surprise.
She thought it was unlike Duan Xi to say something like this.
But Jiaojiao did indeed have that intention. They asked around at the market and confirmed that this little creature had no owner, so they brought it home.
Although Duan Xi took the initiative to say they'd take it home, he wouldn't let Jiaojiao touch it. The poor little thing wobbled its short legs, tumbling and crawling all the way back with them to Hengya.
Once home, Jiaojiao saw Duan Xi put the groceries in the kitchen. Looking at the little creature following her, shivering, she felt a bit sorry for it. She went to the bathroom to grab a clean towel and started wiping it while shouting to Duan Xi in the kitchen, "Brother Xi, should we give it a bath? It looks cold. Wouldn't want it to catch a cold."
"No need, someone will come to take it soon," Duan Xi replied.
"Huh? Who? Aren't we keeping it?" Jiaojiao asked, puzzled.
