The sea otter watched for a while, then crawled over and, with the help of Xia Yue, squatted down in front of her.
Xia Yue took the otter back to the hotel, but not through the front door. Instead, they circled around to the back door of the hotel kitchen.
After parking her car, she beckoned the otter and led it into the kitchen.
"Why are you back?" Ao Mi was tidying up. Surprised to see Xia Yue, he asked.
"Do we have any raw fish or shrimp? I want to feed this little guy," Xia Yue said, nodding toward the otter beside her.
Ao Mi looked over at the otter.
"Where did you get the otter? You're not thinking of keeping it, are you? I remember it's a protected species. We're not allowed to keep them privately, are we?" He said, looking at her.
"It came running to find me on its own, and I don't even know how. Nobody else noticed it. It's hungry now, so I'm here to get some food from you," Xia Yue said, looking helpless.
