Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Stay for a While

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—"

Nan Yu paused her rubbing, "Are you crying?"

At her words, Xiao Ba cried louder, tears still falling into his eyes.

Nan Yu asked doubtfully, "Do you not want to go back?"

Xiao Ba nodded frantically.

Nan Yu was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "But you..."

Xiao Ba immediately came closer to her, crying heavily, his cries heart-wrenchingly sad.

Nan Yu felt her heart breaking, looking at the lion more emotional than humans, she sighed, "Then I’ll ask Brother Ren tomorrow if you can stay with me for a while. If it’s okay, you can stay here."

"But you must behave, and you’re not allowed to cause any trouble!"

The tears in Xiao Ba’s eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by smiles, and he performed a playful roll for Nan Yu.

Nan Yu was amused by his lively and active demeanor, smiling as she continued to rub the foam off his body.

"Alright, I’ll get you cleaned up."

Finally, she rinsed off the foam from his body with warm water.

Once clean, Xiao Ba performed a high-speed twirling act, shaking off all the water from his body.

Nan Yu took out a towel, dried him off, then brought out a hairdryer to blow-dry his fur thoroughly.

"Xiao Ba, go wait for me in the bedroom."

Xiao Ba obediently went out and lay down waiting for her at the bathroom door.

Meanwhile, Nan Yu quickly took a shower and came out.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Xiao Ba waiting quietly, and her heart melted.

She rubbed Xiao Ba’s head, "Xiao Ba, it’s late, let’s sleep."

Nan Yu lay down in bed, turned to her side, and could see Xiao Ba, who had fallen asleep instantly next to the bed, covered with a small pink blanket.

She took a picture and sent it to Xingzhou.

[Brother Ren, Xiao Ba is now with me, don’t worry. I’d like to have him stay here a bit longer, is that okay?]

At two in the morning, just as she was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep, Xingzhou replied.

[Nan Yu, from now on, Xiao Ba is in your care. There’s no need to send him back. Tomorrow morning, I’ll also send you two lion cubs. Please take good care of them for me.]

On reading this, Nan Yu was stunned.

She quickly got up, saw Xiao Ba by the bed, then carefully got off the bed and went to the balcony to call Xingzhou.

The phone connected instantly, but Xingzhou’s voice was very soft, as if he was intentionally keeping it low.

"Hello, Nan Yu."

Nan Yu immediately asked, "Brother Ren, what happened?"

Xingzhou’s voice was hoarse.

"That Nan Qingqing is crazy. She said the lions in the zoo didn’t protect the lady well and caused her injury, and as punishment, all the lions must die."

"Now, apart from Xiao Ba who escaped, and those two newborns I’ve hidden, all the other lions have been shot to death by her frenzy!"

His tone carried a deep resentment as he spoke.
