An Ning's question made Jiang Xia's expression turn sour, and his gaze shifted to Da Huang, who was lying off to the side.
But when he saw the wound on Da Huang's back, his slightly annoyed attitude softened, and he crouched down beside the dog.
"Let me see."
Jiang Xia checked Da Huang's wound. It looked like a superficial injury. Da Huang was fast, so the wound was just a scratch and not too deep.
"Let's go home. I'll put some medicine on it for you."
Jiang Xia held Da Huang's head, first giving it a rub, then a light pat.
"Remember this: next time, don't try to steal honey from a bear."
"WHIMPER..."
Da Huang nuzzled against Jiang Xia with an aggrieved look in its eyes. 'And just who was I doing it for?'
The aggrieved dog stole a glance at An Ning.
"I know, I know. You were just trying to get honey for me. I'm not blaming you. I just want you to understand that the two of us can't beat it."
Held in Jiang Xia's arms, Da Huang's whimpering grew even quieter.
