She yelled, “So if you see a tiger charging at you, you run towards it?”
Li Chengfeng looked up stubbornly, “Of course, I'll kill it with my fist!”
Mada the teacup next to her unto Li Chengfeng's forehead With a loud crack, the skin on his forehead was sliced open Blood flowed down his face
Without wiping the blood, as if he felt nothing, he said, “Must ays hold it in when someone more powerful than us bullies us? There are too many people more powerful than us in the world! Then should we just let all of them walk over us?”
