Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

In just two minutes, he had beaten the remaining four thugs to the ground.

They all cried out in pain, too weak to even stand up.

The entire shed fell silent; everyone was stunned.

The food stall owner's spatula froze in mid-air as he stared at Liu Xiang in shock.

Liu Xiang walked up to the blond-haired boy who was still rolling on the ground.

He lifted his foot and stepped on the unbroken hand, applying slight pressure. The blond-haired man let out another heart-wrenching scream, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Now, do you know what to do?"

Liu Xiang's voice was cold as she looked down at him.

"I know! I know!"

Huang Mao trembled with pain and hurriedly called out to Liang Jingru, who was cowering behind Liu Xiang, in a tearful voice:

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, miss! I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have talked nonsense! I shouldn't have laid a hand on you! Please forgive me!"

"Get lost." Liu Xiang released her foot and coldly uttered a single word.

The thugs, as if granted a pardon, scrambled to their feet.

Then, they supported each other, not even daring to pick up the motorcycle keys that had fallen to the ground.

He ran away in a panic, abandoning his motorcycle, afraid that if he was too slow, he would get beaten up by Liu Xiang again.

Watching their retreating figures, Liu Xiang turned around and looked at Liang Jingru behind her.

The little girl was staring at him with her big eyes wide open, not blinking.

The fear from before was gone from her eyes, replaced by pure admiration and love, and her cheeks were flushed.

"Were you scared?"

Liu Xiang walked over and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Her tone softened, a stark contrast to her previous cold demeanor.

"No!"

Liang Jingru immediately shook her head, reached out and hugged his waist tightly, buried her face in his chest, filled with pride.

"Brother Liu Xiang, you're amazing!"

"You looked so cool fighting just now!"

Liu Xiang couldn't help but laugh, and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head:

"Silly girl, with me here, no one can bully you."

The auntie at the snack stall only came to her senses at that moment.

She walked over carrying two glasses of freshly squeezed coconut water and gave Liu Xiang a thumbs up.

Then, with a smile, he said in somewhat broken Mandarin:

"That's impressive, young man!"

"These thugs often bully passersby here, and we don't dare to mess with them."

"Thank you for teaching them a lesson today!"

Liu Xiang smiled, took the coconut water, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After the two finished eating and rested for more than half an hour, Liang Jingru's leg recovered, and it was completely dark outside.

The night air in the rainforest is exceptionally cool.

After paying the bill, Liu Xiang led Liang Jingru to the motorcycle, untied the straps securing the luggage, and checked the condition of the motorcycle.

"Brother Liu Xiang, shall we go now?"

Liang Jingru sat in the back seat, reached out and hugged his waist, and looked up at him.

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Xiang straddled the motorcycle, started the engine, and smiled back at her:

"Hold on tight, let's go!"

The motorcycle roared away from the supply point and turned back onto the rainforest road.

The tropical rainforest at night is less hot and more refreshing than during the day.

The evening breeze rustled through the leaves.

Fireflies twinkled in the roadside grass, like stars scattered on the ground.

The motorcycle sped along the rainforest path, and Liang Jingru hugged Liu Xiang's waist, pressing her face against his back.

They faced the wind and sang loudly.

Her voice was sweet and bright, mingling with the sound of the wind, echoing through the silent rainforest, making it exceptionally pleasant to listen to.

As Liu Xiang listened to her singing, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she sped up the car.

The motorcycle sped through the rainforest night like a black lightning bolt.

We walked through dense woods and across flowing streams.

The road ahead is long, and the evening breeze is gentle.

He held the girl in his arms, whose heart and eyes were filled with him, feeling utterly content.

…………

They rode for another whole day, traversing vast stretches of tropical rainforest and crossing winding rivers.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, the two arrived at a small town in Johor.

Unlike the bustling Penang, this small town in southern Johor has a leisurely, down-to-earth atmosphere.

The narrow streets are lined with low-rise houses in the Nanyang style.

Bougainvillea climbed all over the wall, blooming riotously.

The old banyan tree by the roadside has long aerial roots hanging down, and stalls selling fruit and snacks are set up under its shade.

The shop owners sat on small stools, chatting and fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, while occasionally a passerby on a bicycle would walk by.

The ringing of the bicycle bell sounded especially crisp on the quiet street.

As the motorcycle slowly drove along the streets of the small town, Liang Jingru became excited.

She hugged Liu Xiang's waist, occasionally whispering in his ear as she introduced him to him.

"Look, Brother Liu Xiang!"

"This is the shop I used to frequent when I was a child, buying sweet soup!"

"Their red bean paste is super delicious!"

"That school over there is where I went to high school!"

"Turn this corner and you'll be at my house!"

The little girl's voice was full of joy, like a little bird returning to its nest, her eyes sparkling.

Looking at the familiar plants and trees along the roadside, the smile on his face never stopped.

Liu Xiang slowed down the car, listened to her with a smile, and looked in the direction she pointed.

Then, feeling the unique gentleness and everyday life of this small town, my heart calmed down.

After turning a corner, the motorcycle stopped in a quiet alley.

At the end of the alley was a small bungalow with a yard, white walls, and a black iron gate.

A tall mango tree grows in the yard, its branches and leaves reaching out over the wall.

There were also a few jasmine plants, with small white flowers in bloom.

You can smell the faint fragrance from a distance.

"We're here! This is my home!"

Liang Jingru immediately jumped out of the back seat.

Her eyes sparkled, and she grabbed Liu Xiang's hand and ran towards the iron gate.

She pushed open the half-closed iron gate and stepped into the courtyard, where she saw an elderly woman with gray hair sitting on a stone bench.

The old lady was looking down, slowly picking water spinach from her basket.

"grandmother!"

Liang Jingru released Liu Xiang's hand and pounced on her like a little rabbit.

She squatted down in front of the old lady, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

The old lady looked up, saw Liang Jingru, and her cloudy eyes instantly lit up.

She put down the groceries in her hands and reached out to hug her.

"Oh! It's my Jingru back!"

"My dear granddaughter! You're finally back!"

"Grandma! I miss you so much!"

Liang Jingru hugged her grandmother's neck, buried her face in her arms, and her eyes were slightly red.

Her parents went to work in Singapore when she was young and could only come back a few times a year. Her grandmother raised her single-handedly, and the two had a very deep bond.

Grandma hugged her and stroked her hair.

Then, he looked her up and down, muttering to himself:

"You've lost weight!"

"Did you not eat properly while you were in Penang for the competition?"

"Everyone in town has told me about your championship win. My wonderful granddaughter, you're so accomplished!"
