"Don't just stand at the door, let me in! I'm still holding onto something!"

"Can't I come in, put down my stuff, and then we talk?"

Zhang Beixing said this while brazenly lying through his teeth. After all, he'd circled around the town twice already and had even passed by Zheng Jituo's old family home twice. But he just wouldn't go in. Yes, he was determined to imitate Dayu!

It was now dark, pitch black, making it hard for anyone to see what was on his shoulder. Otherwise, he would have had to wander around for another couple of rounds before seeking out Zheng Jituo. Of course, by then, Zheng Jituo would probably have come looking for him first.

Hearing what Zhang Beixing said, Zheng Jituo and the others finally noticed that Zhang Beixing's hand seemed to be grabbing onto something. But because of the darkness, they couldn't see it clearly. They could only roughly make out that it was something big by its silhouette.

Zheng Jituo raised an eyebrow and waved his hand to the many classmates behind him, who dispersed upon seeing the gesture. Seeing this, Zhang Beixing then patted Lin Siqi on the back, signaling that it was time for her to move.

When she emerged from his embrace, her eyes red, Zhang Beixing was grabbing onto the tail of a tiger. He stepped over the threshold, dragging it into the courtyard.

Only then did the classmates vaguely make out what Zhang Beixing had dragged in. At nearly two meters in length, it was large and had black stripes on its skin. It looked a bit like...

"A tiger?"

One classmate exclaimed, which immediately stunned the others.

They focused their eyes and, upon realizing it was true, they were first shocked, then they thought it was impossible! They knew Zhang Beixing was fierce, but not fierce enough to take on a tiger. That was outrageous! Impossible!

Somebody thought this and revealed a knowing smile. He looked at Zhang Beixing and said, "Lao Zhang, where did you get this life-sized plush toy? Send the link; it looks quite like a tiger!"

Saying this, he went to touch it. But before he could get close, perhaps being jostled while carried up and down the steps had made it uncomfortable, or the fiery pain in its butt kept it from staying unconscious. After Zhang Beixing had dragged the tiger into the courtyard, the tiger, which had been completely still and unconscious, made its first noise.

"ROAR—"

A weak roar emitted from its throat. Although it wasn't loud, at that moment, it seemed deafening.

"?"

The classmates were stunned.

A ridiculous thought struck some of them, and they pulled out their phones, turned on the flashlights, and shone them on the tiger.

Instantly, the orange and black beast—with its messy fur, red butt, and the character for 'king' on its forehead—was visible to everyone present. And that wasn't even the crucial part. It also raised its head, opened its eyes, and weakly glanced at everyone!

This was the real deal! Not a plush toy!

"!!!"

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils shrank, their eyes filled with intense shock.

Jin Linyu, who was quite dramatic, exclaimed, "What the hell!"

As soon as he spoke, it was like triggering a chain reaction. Exclamations of "What the hell!" echoed throughout Zheng Jituo's grandmother's courtyard.

Zhang Beixing's classmates were stunned! Some, after seeing a tiger from such a close distance, even started to tremble.

"What the hell is going on? A l-l-live... tiger?"

"Holy shit, it's not a toy, it's real?"

"Lao Zhang, you can't joke like this! Buddy, I haven't offended you, have I? Why did you bring a tiger in here? You can't just bring something like that along!"

"Am I the only one shocked by how badly injured this tiger is? Beixing, you didn't do this, did you?"

"If it really was you, that's too outrageous! My God, it's like a modern Wu Song fighting the tiger!"

"Hey, stop chatting! Someone pull me back! My legs have gone weak from fright, I can't walk! If you don't pull me back soon, I'm gonna piss myself!"

"Oh, right, right, right! Quick, pull him back! At such a close distance, if that tiger suddenly lunges and attacks, he's a goner!"

"Lucky I don't have high blood pressure; otherwise, a scare like this might have done me in."

"..."

After they pulled the classmate who wanted to touch the tiger back, they stared at the tiger that was now awake, faces full of shock. Even though the tiger was extremely weak, its inherent regal presence was not to be underestimated; ordinary people would indeed tremble at the sight.

Zheng Jituo's mind was buzzing. He looked at the tiger, then at Zhang Beixing, his face showing horror as he exclaimed, "Lao Zhang, what's going on? A tiger? How did you end up bringing a tiger here?"

"Come on, don't you know what happened? I told you over the phone. I said I knocked out a tiger, and you said you didn't believe me. You even said if I really did it, you'd do a handstand and eat shit! So, here it is. I brought it back for you. Come on, Jituo, show us your stuff! I've never seen such a performance in my life!" Gleefully speaking, Zhang Beixing slung his arm over Zheng Jituo's shoulder, looking extremely animated.
