Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tang Li was stunned for a moment, a blush instantly spreading across her face. She quickly waved her hands and laughed awkwardly, "No, no, don't overthink it. I was just saying it casually. It's all a coincidence, a pure coincidence!"

Though he said that, a little bit of smugness secretly rose in his heart.

I never imagined that my casual remark would actually come true.

Wang Yuyu, perched on the snowman's shoulder, felt the warm sunlight on his body. His amber eyes instantly filled with contentment. He couldn't help but squint slightly and gently rub his head against the sunlit spot, looking completely blissful.

After several days of snow, he had been cooped up in the sun for days and had been longing for its warmth. Now, enveloped in sunlight, most of his fatigue had dissipated.

After sunbathing for a while, he stretched out a big yawn, gently scratched his cheek with his front paws, and then lowered his head to slowly lick his fur.

While the sun is shining brightly, it's a good time to groom myself. I can't let myself get dirty and lose face.

He licked carefully and meticulously, grooming the fur from the sharp tips of the claws to the smooth back, his movements elegant and languid, even his tail resting obediently on the snowman's shoulder, occasionally brushing it gently.

The three fans on the wall finally realized what was happening and quickly raised their phones to take pictures of Wang Yuyu licking his fur in the sunlight.

They took one picture after another, recording Wang Yuyu's appearance from different angles.

They only stopped reluctantly when Tang Li reminded them that it was time to leave, their faces full of satisfaction.

Seeing the three men's satisfied expressions, Tang Li coughed lightly, her tone becoming serious as she carefully instructed them, "You've taken enough pictures. There's something I need to tell you: please don't publicize the fact that you have a secure job here for recuperation online, okay?"

"He still needs to rest. If the news spreads online and more people come, it will definitely disturb him and affect his health."

"Yes, yes, we understand, Sister Tang!" The three fans nodded earnestly, their tone firm. "Don't worry, we genuinely love his job and would never harm him. We absolutely won't say a single careless word when we get back, nor will we post any photos or videos!"

"We'll come see him again once he's recovered. We promise we'll behave and not bother him!" the girl added, her face full of sincerity.

"Okay, thank you for understanding." Tang Li smiled and nodded, waving to them. "Then please be careful on the road. The snow has just stopped, and the roads are a bit slippery. Please be safe."

"Goodbye, Sister Tang! Goodbye, my secure job!" The three waved to Tang Li, then glanced longingly at Wang Yuyu on the snowman's shoulder before leaving, chatting and laughing.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Tang Li looked down at the two heavy bags of beef strips at her feet, her eyes instantly lighting up. She chuckled, "Great! So much beef! Enough for a stable job. Now he won't have to worry about food anymore!"

As she spoke, she bent down, picked up two large bags of beef, and walked briskly toward the back door.

Meanwhile, outside the back door, Wang Yuyu was carefully searching through the woods, head down, following the trail of the escaped chicken.

His nostrils twitched incessantly, relentlessly following the lingering smell of chicken in the air, as he inching forward, stubbornly muttering to himself, "This wasn't something they gave me; I hunted it myself. I found it on my own merit, unlike those beef jerky strips!"

He followed the scent deeper and deeper, and finally found the escaped live chicken under the iron fence at the edge of the woods.

When she saw the scene before her, Wang Yu froze on the spot, her amber eyes filled with astonishment.

The live chicken lay stiffly beside the wire mesh, its wings outstretched, completely still, and it still carried a faint smell of burning; it had clearly been electrocuted.

He followed the chicken's silhouette and looked up at the wire mesh in front of him, his heart skipping a beat. He exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap, this damn wire mesh actually has electricity!"

"Tang Li kept nagging about the danger, and I thought she was just trying to scare me. Luckily, I didn't touch it, or I'd be lying here right now!"

After the initial shock subsided, his gaze returned to the motionless chicken. The aroma of the chicken filled his nostrils, and his craving instantly overcame his fear.

Why let go of prey that's already in your hands?

Wang Yu looked around and her eyes lit up when they landed on a dead branch not far away.

He immediately ran over quickly, picked up the dry branch with his beak, and carefully ran back to the edge of the wire fence. He lay down on the soft snow, gripped the branch tightly with his two front paws, stretched his tail straight, held his breath, and slowly reached towards the chicken, afraid that he would touch the wire fence if he moved too fast.

When the dry branch gently touched the chicken's body, he didn't hesitate and pulled hard, instantly freeing the chicken from the wire mesh and landing steadily on the snow not far away.

Seeing the chicken land in the safe area, Wang Yu immediately let go of the dry branch, ran over quickly, and grabbed the chicken by the neck in her mouth, afraid that it would "run away" again. She swished her tail happily and turned around to run back to the back door.

He rushed back to the back door and saw Tang Li bending down to pick up the beef strips that the fans had thrown on the ground, carefully putting them into a bag.

Wang Yuyu immediately panicked, grabbed the chicken and rushed over, stopping steadily in front of Tang Li. He stared intently at the beef strips in her hand, his eyes filled with tension, afraid that Tang Li would accuse him of being stubborn, and also afraid that she would take the beef strips away and not leave any for him.

Hearing the noise, Tang Li straightened up and turned to look. Seeing the chicken in his mouth, she couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and poked his head, teasingly saying, "Oh, a secure job? Weren't you so tough before?"

"If you don't eat what others give you, why did you bring this chicken back now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly wrinkled her nose, and a faint smell of burning drifted over on the wind, lingering around the tip of her nose.

She instinctively rubbed her nose and followed the smell, quickly discovering that the burnt smell was coming from the chicken in Wang Yuyu's mouth.

Tang Li's smiling face instantly turned serious. She squatted down, her gaze fixed on the chicken in Wang Yuyu's mouth, and her tone became serious as she asked earnestly, "A secure job, tell me honestly, did this chicken touch the electric fence? Was it electrocuted?"

Wang Yuyu was startled by her serious tone, and the chicken in her mouth slipped and fell gently onto the snow.

He nodded obediently, his ears drooping, the arrogance in his eyes fading, replaced by a hint of barely perceptible lingering fear.

He knew that Tang Li was genuinely angry and worried about him.
