Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Standing by the iron gate, Wang Yuyu peered over the wall, staring intently at Tang Li. When he met her eyes, which were filled with rage, his initial wariness and stubbornness instantly crumbled.

Reluctantly, his ears drooping, he slowly walked out from the doorway and headed towards the snowman, inwardly grumbling, "Damn it, do they really think I'm some kind of prostitute? Providing clients? What a disgrace!"

"I'd rather starve to death than eat a single bite of food that's obtained by fawning over someone!"

He walked along, wagging his tail, looking very reluctant, and even dragging his feet.

Tang Li spotted him dawdling at a glance and quickly turned to the three tourists with a smile, saying, "Look, he's out now!"

"He's just shy and not used to meeting strangers."

The three women watched as Tang Li's demeanor suddenly changed, becoming gentle and patient. Remembering the online jokes about this "Tiger Commander"—capable of both fiercely training tigers and softly coaxing them—they couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, their faces full of admiration: "Truly worthy of the title 'Tiger Commander'! Amazing! She actually managed to tame a wild tiger so well!"

After their exclamations, the three of them turned their gazes to Wang Yuyu, staring at his massive, imposing body and glossy fur with fascination and excitement. Forgetting all about talking to Tang Li, they quickly opened another bag, pulled out the beef strips sold at the zoo, and eagerly tossed them at Wang Yuyu, shouting, "A secure job! Time to eat meat! This is beef!"

"Don't go! We still have plenty of beef strips here, you can have them all!"

"You think you have a secure job? Wait for us! Just look at us, okay? Are you going to eat the beef or not?!"

Fragrant beef strips fell onto the snow beside Wang Yuyu, emitting a faint aroma of meat, but even so, it couldn't stop Wang Yuyu from moving forward.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, as if the beef strips beside him were something unimportant, and continued walking slowly forward with a disdainful look.

The excitement on the three tourists' faces faded, and they looked at Tang Li with confusion, bombarding her with questions: "Sister Tang, why don't you get a stable job and not eat meat?"

"Sister Tang, isn't he hungry? We brought lots of delicious food!"

"Sister Tang, where is he going? Why doesn't he stop? Did we do something to offend him?"

"Sister Tang..."

Seeing the three of them bombarding her with questions, Tang Li quickly reached out her hand and smiled reassuringly, "Stop, stop, stop, everyone take it one at a time, don't rush, ask slowly, I'll explain to you one by one."

The three of them immediately shut their mouths and stared at Tang Li, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation, afraid that they might have really offended Wang Yuyu.

Tang Li took a deep breath, softened her tone, and quickly explained, "Don't worry, he's not not hungry, nor did you offend him."

"Iron Rice Bowl is a wild tiger. He has never seen so many strangers since he was a child. You are the first group of tourists who came specifically to see him. He can't adapt to it yet and is a little resistant."

She paused, then suggested, "Why don't you go feed the other tigers in the enclosure first?"

"They are all very docile and like to eat beef jerky. Iron Rice Bowl probably isn't in the mood for meat right now. Once he gets used to it, he might be willing to eat what you give him next time you come."

The three of them watched Wang Yuyu's departing figure, then looked at the two bags of beef strips still in their hands, shook their heads slightly, and said firmly, "No, Sister Tang, we came here specifically to see if he can get a stable job. Since he's not eating now, please feed him these meats later. Don't waste them."

They genuinely liked Wang Yuyu, and even though they couldn't let him eat a bite of the food they brought, they didn't want to waste the carefully prepared meat.

Tang Li looked at the heavy bags in their hands, estimating that there were probably more than ten pounds of beef strips inside. Her heart warmed, and she nodded: "Okay, thank you so much. I will definitely feed him well. Next time you come, I will talk to him in advance and tell him not to avoid you anymore."

The three men smiled and handed the bag to Tang Li, then quickly took out their phones, pointed the cameras at Wang Yuyu who was walking slowly on the snow, and carefully took photos and videos, afraid of disturbing him. They also occasionally muttered in admiration, "So impressive! No wonder he has such a secure job!"

"Look, look! His fur is so shiny!"

Reaching the snowman, Wang Yuyu leaped lightly and steadily climbed onto the snowman's shoulder, slightly retracting her front paws as she gracefully squatted down.

He raised his tiger head, his amber eyes devoid of any wariness or arrogance, only a calm stillness remained, quietly watching the four people peeking out from the wall. His usual playful and adorable demeanor had vanished, replaced by the unique majesty and aloofness of a wild mountain lord, his aura instantly reaching its peak.

"Wow, so handsome..."

Three fans held up their phones, forgetting to press the shutter button, their eyes glued to Wang Yuyu, muttering to themselves, their faces full of infatuation.

The tiger before us, devoid of its playful image from the camera lens, exudes a lofty and majestic aura against the backdrop of the vast white snow, inspiring awe in all who behold it.

Tang Li rested her chin on her hand, her gaze falling on Wang Yuyu on the snowman's shoulder. She couldn't help but nod slightly, her tone full of admiration: "He really is handsome. This is how he should be."

She paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes, and muttered casually, "If the sunlight were shining on him right now, making him shimmer like gold, he'd look exactly like the protagonist in a novel!"

Upon hearing this, the three fans immediately nodded emphatically, their faces full of agreement, and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Tang, you're absolutely right! It would be even more amazing if there was sunshine!"

"It sounds beautiful, but it's a pity the sky is still overcast..."

Perhaps Tang Li's words were truly blessed, for as soon as she finished speaking, the thick clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and beams of warm sunlight pierced through the clouds, pouring down and gently sprinkling onto the snow, landing steadily on Wang Yuyu.

The tiger's glossy yellow-black fur shimmered with a faint golden light under the sun, and the snow sparkled in the sunlight. The tiger, the snow, and the sunlight created a beautiful and healing scene, which perfectly fulfilled Tang Li's little fantasy.

The three fans' eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with surprise, and they all turned to look at Tang Li, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The female fan quietly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked with a curious look, "Sister Tang, are your lips really blessed? They're so effective!"

A glint of expectation flashed in her eyes, then she added softly, "Why don't you say a few more words? Like, get the guy with the secure job to look at us, or strike a nice pose?"
