Chen Jue said nothing. He supported Wang Biao the whole way, dragging him out of the house and into the car, patting his back with one hand to help him calm down quickly.
"Hah... hah... I..." Wang Biao gasped for breath. Once in the car, he gripped the steering wheel with both hands, trying everything he could to settle his turbulent emotions.
Once his breathing steadied, Wang Biao reached a trembling hand toward the ignition button, intending to drive away immediately, but Chen Jue stopped him.
Unless they were in a zoo, separated by glass or standing outside an enclosure, most ordinary people would react just like Wang Biao at the sight of a huge wild tiger like that.
They would be scared senseless on the spot!
Unless they were used to seeing such fierce beasts in the wild, in which case they might fare a little better and not look quite so terrified.
"Wh-what are you doing? There's a tiger in the house!" Wang Biao grew anxious.
"What are you running for? Weren't you just going on and on about finding a little female cat?"
"There! You saw her just now, didn't you? Lying on the bed inside!" Chen Jue said with a hint of teasing.
"That's a tiger, damn it! How is that the same thing?"
"You're still in the mood for jokes at a time like this! Let's drive off and report it to the forest police!" Wang Biao's voice rose several notches. He wanted to start the car, but he simply could not wrench his hand free of Chen Jue's grip.
At that moment, Wang Biao suddenly realized that his roommate seemed like a different person from before. Not only could he remain so calm after encountering a tiger, but his grip was frighteningly strong!
