Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu immediately flew into a rage. Her amber eyes blazed with fury, and she inwardly hissed, "Damn it, you heartless woman!"

"Who was just hugging me and stroking me non-stop? Now that they've had their fill, they're complaining about my shedding?"

"Even a chameleon can change its expression this quickly! This is outrageous!"

Tang Li noticed Wang Yuyu's change in mood and knew that her words had upset him. She quickly softened her tone, gently rubbed his head, and coaxed him tenderly:

"I don't dislike you! Even if you shed all your fur and become a bald tiger, you'll still be my most beloved baby!"

"Sweetie, let me clean my fur first, then I'll play with you properly, okay?"

Wang Yuyu snorted coldly, her face still showing anger, but she obediently lay on Tang Li's lap, turning her head to one side, looking like she was saying, "I'm still angry, but I'm reluctantly forgiving you."

In no time, Tang Li had cleaned the tiger fur off her body.

She picked up a steel comb and gently began to comb Wang Yuyu's tiger fur, humming a lullaby softly as she did so.

"Sleep well, sleep well, my dear baby!"

"Sleep well, sleep well, Mommy loves you!"

"You will always be Mommy's precious baby. May peace and joy accompany you as you grow up..."

Tang Li's singing voice is gentle and soothing, like a spring breeze that softly caresses the heart.

Under her gentle singing and the caress of the comb, Wang Yuyu's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and drowsiness surged into her heart like a tide. Her amber eyes slowly closed, and a soft purring sound came from her throat.

"I never expected Tang Li to sing so well... Her singing made me sleepy..."

He mumbled to himself in a daze, his consciousness gradually fading until he fell into a deep sleep.

Tang Li looked at Wang Yuyu, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, her eyes full of tenderness.

As she continued to gently brush his fur, she carefully pulled her leg out from under his head.

Combing from head to tail tip, again and again, with gentle and patient movements, Wang Yu slept exceptionally soundly, never waking up once throughout the entire process.

Looking at Wang Yuyu sleeping soundly in front of her, Tang Li couldn't help but smile secretly.

She quietly took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket, quickly wrote down a few words, and even drew an angry emoji of a tiger's head with a furrowed brow and a little fist, and gently placed it next to Wang Yuyu's head.

Afterwards, she carefully packed her things, glanced at the sleeping Wang Yuyu, sighed softly, and left quietly.

Even with utmost care, the slight creak of the iron gate closing still startled Wang Yuyu from her deep sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his ears perked up alertly, and looked in the direction of the sound. He found that the back door was already closed, and Tang Li was nowhere to be seen. Only a small note lay quietly in front of him.

He slowly lowered his head and leaned closer to read it carefully. The handwriting on the note was delicate and cute: "I have a secure job, I'm going to work now, you can sleep here!"

"Take good care of yourself in the wild, keep your eyes peeled, stay away from strangers, and don't let anyone bully you, understand?"

"And another thing, you're not allowed to bring me any more 'gifts'! Those aren't gifts, they're practically death warrants! If you bring me one more, I'll really get angry!"

Finally, the angry little emoji stood out. The little figure frowned, puffed out its cheeks, and raised its little fist to knock on the tiger's head, just like Tang Li's usual sullen appearance.

After reading the note, Wang Yu curled her lip in disdain, muttering to herself, "I know, I know, so nagging. It's just not bringing a gift, what's the big deal..."

After saying that, he turned over and continued to sleep soundly, as if his earlier awakening was just a minor incident.

He slept for a full three hours.

He stretched out a big yawn, his limbs relaxed, and all his muscles loosened. Then he shook his body, and the dust and loose tiger fur fell to the ground, instantly raising a small cloud of "fur mist".

He glanced up at the surveillance camera above the back door, raised his paw and waved at it, then strolled leisurely towards the forest, his massive figure gradually disappearing into the woods.

…………

A few days later, Wang Yuyu was inspecting his territory when he unknowingly arrived in Linnan City.

After walking for most of the day on the dirt road in the forest, he was a little tired, so he simply found a clump of dense foliage by the roadside, slowly lay down, put his big head on his front paws, closed his eyes to rest, and enjoyed the tranquility of the forest.

Not long after, the sound of a "putt-putt-putt" engine came from afar, accompanied by the "squeak" of wheels rolling over gravel. A dilapidated pickup truck slowly drove up in the direction he had come from, kicking up a trail of dust.

Wang Yu lazily raised her head, glanced at the pickup truck, saw that there were only two people in the vehicle and no danger whatsoever, then slowly closed her eyes again and continued to doze off.

The two people in the pickup truck were clearly native to Northeast China, with a natural fierceness and sharp eyesight.

The driver caught a glimpse of a tiger's head flashing past behind the bushes, his eyes lit up instantly, and he slammed on the brakes.

With a squeak, the pickup truck came to a steady stop in front of Wang Yuyu.

Upon hearing the sound of brakes, Wang Yuyu immediately raised her head, a hint of vigilance flashing in her amber eyes. Her ears perked up instantly, and she stared intently at the pickup truck on the road. The fur on her body tensed slightly, ready to run away at any moment.

The man in the passenger seat craned his neck and immediately spotted the tiger's head behind the bushes. He became so excited his face turned bright red. He rolled down the window, frantically recording with his phone in one hand, and pointed at Wang Yuyu with the other, shouting excitedly at the top of his lungs:

"Hahaha! I knew I wasn't mistaken! It's a big cat! A wild big cat!"

"Alive! This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a wild big cat in person! It's so exciting!"

He became more and more excited as he shouted, almost dropping his phone as he kept snapping photos of Wang Yuyu.

The driver's eyes were glued to Wang Yuyu, and he nodded vigorously, his tone filled with excitement and awe: "Yeah! It really is a big cat!"

"Good heavens, that head is huge! It's even bigger than the ones on TV!"

Seeing the two of them behaving so loudly, Wang Yuyu's amber eyes instantly ignited with anger. She inwardly growled, "Who are you calling 'Big Cat'? Can't you speak properly?"

"I am the mighty Siberian tiger! Believe me or not, I'll beat you both up!"

He bared his teeth, revealing sharp fangs, his eyes filled with warning.
