Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tang Li had no choice but to move forward step by step, while Wang Yuyu retreated step by step. The two of them moved slowly across the snow.

He only stopped backing away when Tang Li finally reached the plastic bag, bent down and grabbed it, but his guarded gaze remained unwavering.

Tang Li, carrying the plastic bag, looked at Wang Yuyu, who was still watching her warily, and felt a pang of guilt.

She knew that she had really angered Wang Yuyu this time, and it would probably take a long time to repair the trust between them.

She couldn't help but think of Momo, the tigress with whom she had broken off relations. It was because she was being mischievous and teasing Momo that Momo hadn't forgiven her yet. Momo was still very wary of her and never let her get close, even though she brought Momo delicious food every day.

Thinking of this, Tang Li sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness and regret: "Sigh, why are they all so easily offended? They all hold grudges so much. It seems I really need to tone it down a bit in the future."

"Rebuilding the trust between me and my secure job is a long and arduous task!"

She gently shook her head, waved to Wang Yuyu, and said in a gentle tone, "I'll be going now. Take your time eating, but don't eat too fast or you'll choke. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Awoo!" Wang Yuyu growled softly at her, his voice not loud, but with a hint of gentleness that was barely perceptible.

Although he still doesn't dare let Tang Li get close and is still a little angry, he still maintains basic manners.

After all, Tang Li is his caretaker, the one who brings him delicious food every day. He still needs her to bring him meals and play cartoons for him, so he can't afford to offend her too much.

Hearing Wang Yuyu's response, Tang Li's mood instantly improved, and a smile returned to her face. She waved to him, turned around, and walked towards the iron gate. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "It seems that Iron Rice Bowl still trusts me to some extent, but he just doesn't want me to get close for the time being. He's probably afraid that I'll touch his bell again."

"However," she thought, recalling the warm, soft feel of the bell, and couldn't help but secretly lick her lips, a sly glint in her eyes, "to be honest, it felt really good, so soft and sweet. I really want to touch it again. I definitely want to find a chance to touch it again next time!"

Wang Yu watched Tang Li's figure disappear into the distance until she heard the iron gate click shut, confirming that she was really gone. Only then did she finally relax, and her tense body instantly relaxed.

He immediately turned around, rushed to the pile of meat, and abandoned all his previous restraint, eating large mouthfuls of rice.

These beef strips were cut into small pieces, saving him the trouble of tearing and biting them. They were convenient and quick to eat, and the fresh and fragrant meat flavor spread in his mouth, instantly dispelling all his unpleasantness.

In no time, Wang Yuyu devoured the beef strips weighing over ten kilograms, even licking away every tiny crumb that fell on the snow, leaving nothing behind.

He licked his lips with satisfaction, cleaning off the bits of meat stuck to them. He then licked his paws clean, and slowly walked toward the cabin.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to go to the cabin for a drink of water, find a warm spot, take a good nap, bask in the sun, and enjoy this pleasant post-meal time.

Tang Li carried a plastic bag full of chicken feathers, her head down, and walked quickly along the path in the zoo.

But the zoo staff she encountered, seeing her furtive behavior, all called out to her, and then their eyes all fell on her face. They were taken aback at first, and then they all showed knowing and amused smiles as they surrounded her.

The cleaning lady, Aunt Zhang, was the first to approach, patting her arm with a smile and teasingly saying, "Little Tang, those red marks on your face, you must have gotten them from that 'iron rice bowl' job, right? The marks are quite obvious, did you get a tail swipe?"

The security guard patrolling nearby also came over, hands behind his back, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "Little Tang, you've gone and provoked that arrogant tiger again?"

"I knew that guy looked docile but had quite a temper. Now look what happened, you've really angered him and left him with a 'souvenir'."

Sister Li, who was in charge of feeding the other tigers, immediately took out a small tube of ointment from her pocket, stuffed it into Tang Li's hand, and said with a warm smile, "Little Tang, take this quickly, I have some ointment to reduce swelling, come with me back inside and apply it."

"This ointment works quickly; it's guaranteed to fade the marks in two or three days."

"You're so pretty, it's not nice to have a red mark on your face!"

"That's right, Xiao Tang, hurry up and apply the medicine, don't delay."

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen you get beaten up so badly by a tiger. You used to be the one playing pranks on others, but this time you've fallen for the 'iron rice bowl'!"

"Having a secure job is really something; they actually dared to mess with our Commander Tiger. They've got some nerve!"

"..."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their tone full of concern, their teasing tinged with goodwill, making Tang Li blush and feel flustered.

She quickly waved her hand, a faint blush rising to her face, and explained with an embarrassed smile, "Thank you everyone, thank you Sister Li, I'm fine, I was just joking around with the iron rice bowl. It didn't mean to, it just accidentally swung its tail at me, it's nothing serious."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her embarrassed yet stubborn appearance.

In fact, the people in the park were already used to Tang Li's "mischievous antics." She was lively and playful, and loved to fool around with the tigers in the park. There was almost no tiger in the park that hadn't been teased by her.

She was often "retaliated against" by the tiger, sometimes being lightly scratched by its claws, sometimes being flicked by its tail, and occasionally being bitten.

Strangely enough, no matter how much trouble Tang Li caused them, in the end, these tigers were still willing to get close to her, to be touched and rubbed by her, and even to come up to her and act cute.

Just like the tigress Momo from before, even though she hasn't fully forgiven her yet, she would still sneak over when Momo brought her food, but she wouldn't let her get too close.

Sister Li smiled and ruffled Tang Li's hair, her expression a mix of helplessness and affection: "I know you're close to them, and I know you didn't do it on purpose, but you still need to take good care of the marks on your face."

"Go quickly, come back and get busy after you've applied the medicine."

Tang Li nodded quickly and thanked everyone profusely, "Thank you everyone, thank you Sister Li, I'll go apply the medicine right away, thank you all!"

After saying that, she picked up the sack of feathers and walked quickly towards the lounge, followed by the good-natured laughter and words of advice from the crowd, "Take your time, don't rush!"

"Remember to drink plenty of water after applying the medicine!"
