Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Wang Yuyu nuzzled her cheek, responded softly, obediently released her paws, and squatted down, looking at Tang Li.

Tang Li followed the crowd toward the iron gate, her steps slow. As she slowly closed the gate, she waved to Wang Yuyu, saying, "Goodnight, secure job."

The moment the iron gate closed, Wang Yuyu remained crouched in place, her amber eyes reflecting the distant lights as she gazed in the direction of the gate, not moving for a long time.

After a long while, Wang Yuyu turned her head and glanced at the snowman, then slowly strolled along the zoo's perimeter wall.

He needed to take advantage of the quiet of the night to figure out exactly how big his territory was.

The night wind swept snowflakes across his fur, and he pricked up his ears, alertly watching for any movement around him, still maintaining the instinct of a wild tiger patrolling its territory.

Walking more than two hundred meters forward, a cold iron fence stretched out in front of us, with a bright red warning sign hanging on it, the four characters "This fence is electrified" standing out prominently.

At the top of the iron fence, a camera was slowly rotating, its lens precisely locking onto Wang Yuyu's figure, revealing a hint of wariness.

Wang Yu glanced at the camera sideways, scoffed disdainfully, and continued walking along the wire mesh, thinking to himself, "They're even pretending to turn it on. Are they trying to keep me away, or what? Do they really think I want to run away?"

The camera followed him around like a tail he couldn't shake off, sticking firmly to his back.

As soon as he stepped out of the camera's surveillance range, another camera not far ahead slowly rotated, its lens steadily capturing his image and continuing to watch him closely.

Wang Yuyu's face darkened instantly as he looked at the newly appeared camera, his amber eyes filled with displeasure: "Damn it, I'm injured like this, and they're still so vigilant? So they just don't trust me!"

He was seething with anger, so he walked around the entire wire fence before finally returning to the back gate of the zoo.

When the comical snowman came back into view, Wang Yuyu finally understood.

The zoo used wire mesh to enclose a semi-circular area along the wall, with a radius of about two hundred meters. Although it wasn't vast, it was enough for him to stretch his muscles.

He wandered around the open space a few more times, showing no signs of sleepiness.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the treetops. The sudden free time left him feeling somewhat at a loss.

In the past, when he was in the wild, he would sleep soundly during the day and patrol his territory, foraging and hunting at night. His schedule was always packed, and he had never had such a time of leisure.

"Sigh! If only I had a cell phone to keep me entertained, I wouldn't be so bored." Wang Yu lay down next to the snowman, scratching at the snow in front of him with his paws. The snowflakes stuck to his paws, feeling cool and refreshing.

He thought of his leg injury again and couldn't help but sigh, "They say it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but even though I'm strong and have a good constitution, I should at least need fifty days, right? How am I going to get through the rest of the time?"

Wang Yu sighed heavily, his large head drooping slightly, looking aggrieved and helpless. In the quiet snowy night, only a desolate sigh remained.

Bored until midnight, he got up and used his paws to dig up snow and build a snow platform about one person high. He squatted on it and quietly watched the rising sun slowly appear on the eastern horizon.

The morning light shone on his glossy fur, giving it a warm glow.

Wang Yu lowered his head, stuck out his tongue and carefully licked his fur, grooming it until it was smooth and clean, showing the dignity of a mountain lord.

It wasn't until after 9 a.m., when the zoo officially opened to the public, that Tang Li finished feeding the other tigers and settling everything in before rushing to the back gate, her mind filled with worry for Wang Yuyu.

But just as she reached the back gate, she suddenly caught sight of a pair of tiger ears wiggling on the wall. She froze, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, "Am I hallucinating? How can there be tiger ears wiggling on the wall?"

She took a few steps back and looked up again, just in time to meet Wang Yuyu's gaze as she peered into the garden. His large, clear, amber eyes were looking in her direction with curiosity.

Tang Li screamed in fright, "My God! It really is a secure job!"

Before she finished speaking, she took off running towards the back door.

In the security room next to the iron gate, Uncle Zhang had already seen Tang Li arrive. He quickly opened the iron gate in advance and stood guard by the gate, ready to let her through at any time.

Last night, he watched Wang Yu build the snow platform on the monitor the whole time. Fortunately, the snow platform was some distance from the wall and there was no immediate danger, so he didn't notify Tang Li overnight.

Seeing Tang Li's anxious expression, he shook his head helplessly.

As soon as Tang Li rushed to the door, Uncle Zhang immediately pulled open the iron gate. Without stopping, she rushed straight out, leaving only a "Thank you, Uncle Zhang" that drifted in the air.

Uncle Zhang watched her retreating figure, then sighed with a smile, "That poor iron rice bowl, she's going to get a scolding again."

When Wang Yuyu, who was squatting on the snow platform, saw Tang Li rushing over, he immediately grinned and wagged his tail happily, looking like he was asking for praise.

Tang Li rushed down to the foot of the snow platform, looked up at him towering above her, and her anger flared instantly. She yelled at him, "You've got a secure job! Get down here! Get down right now!"

"Why are you climbing so high? This snow platform doesn't look very sturdy. What if you fall?"

"Do you know how dangerous this is? Your leg isn't even fully healed and you're already causing trouble..."

Tang Li became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her tone filled with worry and urgency.

Seeing Tang Li immediately berate him, Wang Yuyu's smile vanished instantly, his ears drooped, and he was filled with resentment: "Damn it, how could I possibly fall from this height? You're underestimating my skills!"

He simply turned his head away, squatted on the snow platform without moving, deliberately competing with Tang Li and watching her get angry.

Tang Li scolded him for a long time, but seeing that he showed no sign of coming down, she became even angrier.

She bent down, scooped up a handful of snow, quickly rolled it into a snowball, and threw it at Wang Yuyu: "I told you not to come down! All you do is make me worry all day long, do you really think I'm your personal nanny?"

Snowballs rained down on Wang Yuyu's head, but he still held his head high with an air of "what can you do to me?"

"Are you coming down or not? Are you coming down?"

Tang Li gritted her teeth, made another large snowball, and threatened, "If you don't come down, I'll dig up this snow platform! Don't blame me if you fall down then!"

"No, no, no!" Wang Yuyu exclaimed anxiously, standing up abruptly, her heart aching with heartache. "I spent the whole night shoveling snow to build this! Do you know how much effort I put in?"

Seeing that Tang Li was really bending down to dig at the corner of the snow platform, he dared not linger any longer and nimbly ran down from the snow platform.

As soon as he ran to Tang Li's side, Wang Yu immediately put on a fawning smile and kept rubbing his head against her chest, trying to please her.
