Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

The red ball landed on the thick snow, and before it had even come to a complete stop, Wang Yuyu pounced on it again, spreading its front paws and pressing the ball firmly against its body, holding it tightly in its arms and pressing it down.

But he forgot that the snow beneath his feet was soft and heavy. He lost his balance and sank into the snow pit along with the tiger. Only the round top of the red ball was visible, while most of its body was buried in the snow.

Wang Yu stared at the red ball that was only partially visible, and was instantly dumbfounded. He was so anxious he was practically stamping his feet: "Damn it, how did you get hooked? What am I supposed to do now?"

He immediately started digging through the snow, his claws flying, splattering snow everywhere, eager to dig out the red ball as soon as possible.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Tang Li squatted on the snow and laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. She supported herself on her knees and couldn't straighten up, tears welling up in her eyes from laughing.

After laughing enough, she slowly stood up. Instead of helping, she took advantage of the moment when Wang Yuyu was busy digging in the snow to quickly pull out some tape from the plastic bag and frantically wrapped it around the empty cardboard box, round and round until it was airtight and there wasn't a single gap left.

Over here, Wang Yuyu finally dug out the red ball, and using his head to support it, he rolled it back step by step.

By the time he rolled to Tang Li's side, Tang Li had just finished wrapping the cardboard box with tape, clapped her hands, and looked at the cardboard box wrapped up like a "zongzi" with satisfaction.

She gently stepped on the red ball, stopping it from rolling any further.

The instinct to protect its food surged instantly, and Wang Yuyu subconsciously bared its sharp teeth at Tang Li, letting out a low warning growl.

But the next second he realized that the other person was Tang Li, so he immediately suppressed his fierceness, quickly pulled his teeth back, and drooped his ears, looking like he didn't mean to.

Tang Li raised an eyebrow and teased, "What? I bought this ball, so I can't even touch it?"

Without uttering a sound, Wang Yu pounced on the red ball, using its front paws to claw at the surface and back away, snatching the ball back from Tang Li's feet.

Immediately afterwards, he stuck out his tongue and licked the spot where Tang Li had just stepped, determined to completely eliminate the scent she had left behind.

After licking it enough, he pressed his head against the red ball and rubbed it vigorously, his eyes narrowed into slits, his face full of enjoyment, as if he were guarding his own treasure.

Tang Li shook her head helplessly and muttered under her breath, "She's really domineering; she won't let anyone touch her at all."

"Alright! Stop licking, you'll have plenty of time to play later."

She tapped on the cardboard box wrapped in tape beside her. "Come see the new place I made for you. Do you like it?"

Wang Yuyu then raised her head, her gaze falling on the cardboard box.

To prevent Tang Li from touching his red ball again, he nudged it with his head and pushed it to a snowdrift not far away before reluctantly walking toward the cardboard box.

Tang Li rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Look at how stingy you are! Do you really think I care about playing with your ball?"

"Don't worry, I won't touch it again!"

Wang Yu ignored her, walked to the cardboard box, raised her front paws and put them on the edge of the box, and peered inside.

The box was spacious inside, just big enough for him, and he immediately liked it.

He climbed in along the edge of the box, first sticking his big head in, then using his front paws to brace against the box wall, and finally moving his hind legs and tail in as well.

After squeezing into the box, he moved around inside, adjusting to a comfortable position. The originally square cardboard box gradually deformed under his strain, eventually fitting his body perfectly.

Fortunately, Tang Li had wrapped enough tape, so although the cardboard box was severely deformed, it did not break and steadily supported his weight.

Tang Li looked at the cardboard box, which was bulging noticeably under its weight, breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

It wasn't a waste of time after all; this guy seems quite satisfied.

Wang Yu lay comfortably in the cardboard box, her head resting on the soft edge, a satisfied smile on her face as she looked at Tang Li. Her amber eyes disappeared with laughter, and even her tail swayed gently inside the box, making a soft rustling sound.

Tang Li bent down and stroked his warm tiger head, smiling as she asked, "Do you like it? With this little nest, you won't have to lie directly on the snow and get cold when you sunbathe."

"Awooo!" Wang Yu let out a low growl, sticking out her tongue to gently lick Tang Li's hand, inwardly shouting, "I love it! I love it so much! This box is the perfect size, warm and comfortable!"

"I'm glad you like it." Tang Li smiled and scratched his chin. Seeing him squinting his eyes in enjoyment, she smiled and her eyes crinkled.

After petting the tiger's head enough, she got up, picked up the rest of her things, and walked towards the small wooden house where Wang Yu lived not far away.

Wang Yu immediately jumped out of the cardboard box and followed closely behind Tang Li with small, quick steps, like a clingy little tail, afraid of falling behind even half a step.

Upon arriving outside the wooden cabin, Tang Li pulled a palm-sized button from a plastic bag. Its outer casing was shaped like an adorable tiger paw, and its color matched Wang Yuyu's fur, making it quite cute.

She picked up the nails and small hammer she had brought, aimed them at the right spot on the wooden door panel, and with a few "bangs," firmly nailed the tiger claw button to the wooden board.

After finishing, she turned to look at Wang Yuyu, who was squatting obediently beside her, and patiently explained, pointing to the button: "If you are hungry, press this with your paw. Uncle Zhang will receive the signal at night and come to feed you meat. I will come and eat with you during the day."

She paused for a moment, then said, "However, you'd better go hungry during the day. Uncle Zhang is already a little afraid of you and doesn't understand your temperament, so he won't take as good care of you as I do."

"Moreover, there is no fresh meat at the zoo at night; it's all frozen meat from the cold storage, which takes time to thaw and doesn't taste very good."

"If you eat it in the morning, you can have fresh pork delivered right by the butcher, all freshly slaughtered and delivered, and they'll even give you some hot offal. That's what you call satisfying, you know?"

Tang Li spoke in great detail, even taking into account Wang Yuyu's food preferences.

"Okay, okay!"

Wang Yu nodded emphatically, her amber eyes shining brightly. She felt very pleased with herself. "Tang Li is so thoughtful. She not only gave me a magic weapon to summon food, but also planned out fresh food for me. Now I don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

But the next second, Tang Li's face instantly darkened, her tone carrying a warning: "But you're not allowed to press any buttons randomly. If I find you pressing them for fun, I'll spank you!"

Wang Yu immediately raised his right hand, sat up straight, and nodded emphatically, looking as solemn as if he were swearing an oath to the heavens, "I promise I won't press anything randomly, and I definitely won't get myself beaten up!"

Seeing that he was obedient and well-behaved, Tang Li immediately put on a smiling face, gently rubbing his head and saying softly, "So good! I love you the most! Come here, give me a kiss!"

As she spoke, she leaned forward and kissed his tiger head several times, leaving a faint breath.
