Xiao Hua hadn't felt wronged for long, having just left the courtyard when Ah Huang jumped off the dog's back and ran back into the courtyard. It didn't often leave the courtyard or wander around; climbing onto the dog's back was merely imitating Zheng Tan's behavior.
The sheriff didn't stay much longer either. Seeing a little Pekingese, it chased after the Pekingese. Zheng Tan always felt that the sheriff was born into the wrong body; it should have been a dog. As for Da Pang, it didn't jump off until they reached the intersection of the walkway to the courtyard and the main campus thoroughfare, then it found a tree to climb up and squat on, waiting for its old lady owner to return from her visit.
Therefore, by the time Old Man Li leisurely led Xiao Hua to the West District courtyard, only Zheng Tan was left on the dog's back.
