"Like this, huh?" Xia Dabao looked at the puppy in her arms, which did indeed smell a bit stinky, and then asked, "So, can I bathe it?"
She liked the puppy clean, so that when she wanted to pet it, her hands wouldn't end up stinking as well.
"Better not; wait until it's bigger before washing it. It has a lot of fur and won't dry easily; it's very prone to catching cold."
Xia Dabao then returned the dog to the Kennel, letting Xiao Cao go back to its mother first before turning to look at Tian Xiaobei, "You sure know a lot."
"I can remember almost everything I read," Tian Xiaobei said, "so naturally, I know a lot, by the way, did you read the book I lent you last night?"
"..." Xia Dabao suddenly felt guilty and chuckled sheepishly, "That book, not yet, you know it got dark last night? The oil lamp at home couldn't be lit, and there weren't many candles left, so I didn't get around to reading it. I was planning to look at it today.
