Chapter 53 A True Warrior Dares to Face a Tiger Head-On
“What’s wrong?”
Zhou She looked at Song Yinzhi in surprise.
Song Yinzhi didn’t lose her temper—after all, this was the man she had chosen!
Maybe he just wasn’t as attentive as Gao You!
After comforting herself with that thought, Song Yinzhi stepped forward to the rouge stall.
“Gao Lang, do you want some pear juice?”
Zhao Pan’er noticed that Gao You seemed a bit hot and asked him with concern. Zhou She saw this and glanced at Song Yinzhi, who completely ignored him. He was clearly hot as well!
But she didn’t care at all—only interested in looking at rouge. Eating and strolling around, the afternoon passed quickly.
Many vendors from outside the city were already packing up and preparing to leave. However, more people were gathering toward the west side of the city.
Tonight, a circus performance would be held there, where people could see a fierce tiger.
“Shall we go watch the show?”
Xiao Lingdang excitedly asked Zhao Pan’er. Zhao Pan’er looked at Gao You—she would go wherever he decided.
Gao You smiled and waved his hand.
“Let’s see the tiger!”
Idiot!
Zhou She glanced at Gao You with disdain. After spending the afternoon together, he had concluded that Gao You was just a fool who could barely speak properly!
Yet Zhao Pan’er was a shrewd person. She had probably already seen through him!
But it didn’t matter—as long as Song Yinzhi still liked him, he held the advantage.
“Roar~”
As they approached the circus, they heard the tiger’s roar.
Xiao Lingdang jumped up excitedly.
“Was that the tiger just now?”
“It’s so loud!”
“Let’s go in quickly!”
After paying for their tickets, Xiao Lingdang ran inside first. Various animals were performing in separate sections, and the tiger’s area had the largest crowd.
“Over here!”
Xiao Lingdang stood at the edge of the tiger’s enclosure, calling out. Gao You and the others quickly walked over to watch the tiger’s performance. The tiger was jumping through rings of fire. Such performances were rare, and the spectators were thrilled.
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
The animal trainer looked at the audience. “Would anyone like to participate?”
“Participate in what?”
Social butterfly Xiao Lingdang happily responded. The trainer pointed to freshly cut raw pork.
“The tiger is hungry!”
“Who would like to step in and feed the tiger?”
Xiao Lingdang looked eager, but a man nearby hesitated.
“Can the tiger bite accurately while eating?”
“If it suddenly loses control, one bite and a person could be gone!”
“Roar!”
The tiger roared at the crowd, making them step back in fear.
That gaping maw—one bite and you’d be torn apart!
Thinking of the risks, the once-excited spectators backed out.
“This looks fun!”

Gao You grinned and patted Zhou She.
Zhou She nodded.
“Yeah, it does seem fun!”
“Go ahead, then!”
Gao You extended his hand and directly shoved Zhou She into the enclosure.
“A true warrior has stepped forward!”
The animal trainer was thrilled and raised Zhou She’s right hand.
“Let’s cheer for the warrior!”
“Warrior!”
The crowd shouted louder and louder, and Zhou She couldn’t help but feel excited.
From the crowd, Song Yinzhi proudly told Zhao Pan’er, “Sister!”
“Look how brave Zhou Lang is!”
“He’s not even afraid of a tiger!”
But Zhao Pan’er had clearly seen Gao You push him into the arena. This was bravery forced upon him—how long could it last?
“Prepare the food for the warrior!”
The trainer waved, and a strong man brought over a large slab of fresh pork—at least ten kilograms.
“Here!”
Zhou She swallowed hard as he looked at the bloody meat. The cheers were exhilarating, but now he had to face that terrifying beast up close!
“I… can I…”
Just as Zhou She was about to back out, Song Yinzhi cheered from the crowd.
“You got this!”
Zhou She turned and saw her excited expression. Clenching his teeth, he picked up the pork.
“Open the cage!”
The trainer signaled his assistants to unlock the tiger’s enclosure. He also took a step back, holding his whip to protect the audience. Inside the arena, only Zhou She and the approaching tiger remained.
“Warrior, you may feed it now!”
The trainer reminded Zhou She, who was already trembling all over. Watching the tiger inch closer, Zhou She had no courage left to feed it. Just standing upright was already taking all his strength.
The fierce tiger sniffed the fresh meat, then roared excitedly.
“Roar~”
“AH! HELP ME!”
Zhou She stumbled and fell to the ground, dropping the pork nearby. Seeing this, the tiger immediately leaped towards him.
“Save me! Don’t eat me!”
“Grandfather Tiger! My meat is terrible—please, I beg you!”
“…”
In an instant, Zhou She even started calling the tiger his grandfather. The striped beast landed beside him and bit into the fresh pork.
Zhou She, shaking all over, slowly turned his head. Just as the tiger swallowed the meat, it locked eyes with him.
“Grandfather, don’t eat me!”
Being this close to the tiger, Zhou She screamed again in terror.
“ROAR!”
The tiger let out a deafening roar. Zhou She’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot!
