Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"Pfft!" Tang Li's cheeks flushed slightly from his shout. She hurriedly turned his head back, letting out two awkward, dry laughs.

"Oops, my hand slipped! It really wasn't on purpose."

"Alright, alright, I'm done measuring. Go eat your meat now!"

"Hmph!" Wang Yuyu snorted heavily, glanced at her suspiciously, and only after confirming that she hadn't made any further moves did she lower her head again and begin to feast on the venison.

Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and muttered softly, "What's wrong with touching it? Those two bells are so conspicuous, I just accidentally bumped into them..."

She looked down at the measuring tape in her hand, and after seeing the number on it, she exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Two meters and fifty-eight!"

She gently stroked his thick, muscular back, her voice filled with amazement: "You're a real big guy! The average adult Siberian tiger is only about two to two and a half meters long, but you've grown to two and a half meters! You're much stronger than other tigers!"

"Roar!" Wang Yu raised his head triumphantly, letting out a low growl. His amber eyes were filled with pride, as if to say, "That's right! Otherwise, do you think I've been eating all that meat for nothing?"

"If I don't grow stronger and bigger, the other animals will think I'm easy to bully!"

"Alright, alright, you're the best!" Tang Li laughed and ruffled his tiger head, then said, "Let me see how long your tail is!"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab his tail.

However, Wang Yuyu clearly still remembered the "grudge" from earlier and did not trust this "female hooligan" at all.

With a flick of his tail, like a nimble whip, he precisely dodged Tang Li's hand, and deliberately shifted his body to the side, watching her warily.

Tang Li's hand missed its target. Seeing Wang Yuyu's wary expression, she pouted somewhat aggrievedly: "What? You still don't believe me? I was just measuring the length of a tail!"

Wang Yuyu was too lazy to waste words with her. He just gave her a look that said, "You'll figure it out yourself," and continued to eat with his head down, his tail pressed tightly against his side, not letting her touch it at all.

"Hmph, fine, don't touch it then! You're such a cheapskate!"

Tang Li pouted and changed the subject: "Then let me measure your shoulder height!"

As she spoke, she squatted down and placed one end of the measuring tape next to Wang Yuyu's front leg.

But just as she was about to start taking measurements, she realized something was wrong.

Wang Yu secretly stood on tiptoe, raising his body slightly, and his ears were perked up alertly as he secretly observed her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Tang Li's face darkened instantly. She reached out and patted his head, saying irritably, "Put your feet down! What are you doing standing on your tiptoes? You're not human, are you trying to inflate your height data?"

Wang Yuyu wasn't guilty when his little trick was exposed. He just twitched his ears and reluctantly put his tiptoe down.

But Tang Li could tell at a glance that his claws hadn't completely touched the ground yet; he was deliberately standing on tiptoe, trying to be clever.

Tang Li was speechless for a moment, and too lazy to argue with him. Pretending not to have seen anything, she calmly straightened the measuring tape and said in a flat tone, "Okay, the measurement is finished!"

Sure enough, the next second Wang Yuyu relaxed her guard and put her feet down completely.

Tang Li, quick-witted and agile, glanced at the number on the measuring tape and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "One meter 31!"

"You've grown a little taller again!"

"It's only been a short time, but they've grown so fast!"

"Alright, you don't need to stand anymore, you can lie down now." Tang Li nudged Wang Yuyu's legs, signaling him to relax.

Wang Yuyu couldn't wait any longer. He immediately plopped down on the snow, his paws tightly gripping the iron plate of meat, as if afraid that Tang Li would disturb his meal again. He also had a piece of venison in his mouth, chewing it with relish.

Tang Li squatted down beside him, took out a stopwatch from her backpack, pressed the timer button, and stared intently at Wang Yuyu's chest to measure his breathing rate.

It was quiet in the snow; the only sounds were Wang Yuyu chewing her food and her soft breathing.

A minute passed quickly. Tang Li noted down the number of breaths, immediately took out a checklist and pen from her backpack, and squatted down in the snow to fill in the data quickly.

Then, she took out a portable heart rate monitor and reached out to grab Wang Yuyu's left foreleg.

Wang Yu instinctively tried to pull his leg back, but Tang Li immediately pressed down on his hand and whispered, "Don't move, this is to check your heartbeat, it'll be over soon."

Upon hearing the words "check heart rate," Wang Yu immediately stopped moving obediently, though its tail impatiently swept across the ground.

Tang Li carefully parted the thick tiger fur on his legs and clipped the heart rate monitor to his paw, just like she would when measuring someone's blood oxygen and heart rate.

The heart rate data came out shortly afterward.

Tang Li put the equipment away, rubbed her hands which were red from the cold, and looked at Wang Yuyu with bright eyes, excitedly saying, "A secure job! Next, I'm going to examine your skin and hair, so don't move around too much!"

Wang Yu rolled her eyes, chewing on meat, and mumbled in her mind, "Go ahead and touch me! You perverted plush toy fanatic, all you do is touch me all day!"

"If you keep touching me like that, you'll pluck all the hair off my head!"

Tang Li didn't care about his inner monologue. She smiled happily and ran her fingertips along his smooth fur again and again, touching him from head to tail. She touched Wang Yuyu from head to tail and from top to bottom, thoroughly enjoying herself.

She touched him for a full ten minutes before remembering her real purpose and began to carefully examine his fur for ticks, dandruff, subcutaneous lumps, or wounds.

She examined it very carefully, not even missing the back of the ears or the spaces between the claws.

It took more than half an hour to confirm that Wang Yuyu was completely healthy before they finally finished, patting him on the back with satisfaction: "Alright, the checkup is complete!"

But the next second, Tang Li's expression changed. Holding a few ticks she had pulled from the tiger's fur, she walked up to Wang Yuyu, held the insects in front of him, and scolded him sternly, "Have you been lazy and not showering lately? Look at you, you're covered in parasites!"

Wang Yuyu's gaze subconsciously shifted to the side, avoiding the disgusting insects, pretending not to hear, but inwardly she righteously complained, "It's so cold it could freeze your ears off. Taking a bath? You'd be frozen solid like a tiger afterward!"

"Besides, where would I find hot water to wash in the wild!"

Seeing that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and that he was leisurely licking his paws as if it were none of his business, Tang Li's eyes flashed with a sly smile. Suddenly, she reached out and gently tugged at the fur on the back of his neck, plucking out a few golden tiger hairs.

"hiss!"

The stinging pain of having its fur plucked sent Wang Yuyu jerking her head away, teeth bared, her amber eyes wide with rage. She growled, "Damn it! What are you doing? Touching me is one thing, but plucking my fur is another! Give it back to me right now!"
