Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

The golden sunset shone brightly on Wang Yuyu, casting a thick layer of golden light through his fluffy, soft tiger fur, as if draping the king of the jungle in a dazzling golden coat. His posture was upright and solemn, and even the fur on his body shone with a soft luster, making him both sacred and dazzling.

Be fascinated by me! Be fascinated by me!

Wang Yuyu was overjoyed, raising her head high, almost to the sky.

His tail tip kept swaying back and forth without stopping for a moment, showing his good mood at the moment.

"Mommy, Mommy, what's the big tiger saying? It sounds a bit boring and a bit aggrieved!"

A little girl with pigtails hugged her father's neck tightly, her big, round eyes looking at her mother beside her, and asked in a childish voice.

The mother, her eyes crinkling with a smile, was about to respond when the father reached out and pinched his baby's cheek, laughing as he continued, "Sweetie, listen, the big tiger is calling out: 'Hey? Is there a tiger here? Come out and play for a while!'"

He deliberately imitated the tiger's tone, drawing out the words, "'No tigers here? No tigers here? Then I'll have this whole mountain to myself! I'll have it! I'll have it!'"

He paused, then tilted his head, feigning a tentative look: "Are you sure there aren't any tigers? If there aren't, this mountain is mine! Mine!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."

The little girl blinked her innocent eyes, looked at her father earnestly, and asked again, "But Daddy, what if it attracts other wild animals by shouting so loudly?"

"Hahaha..." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

A young man approached and joked with a smile, "Kid, what else can you do? Just do it!"

"If we attract wild beasts, then we'll just have to accept our fate!"

A middle-aged man wearing a hat nearby added with a laugh, "Little girl, you're mistaken. The big tiger isn't worried about that!"

"It's worried about not encountering any wild animals, otherwise it won't have enough to eat!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again, and the laughter in the mountains became even more lively.

Suddenly, a young man became interested, cupped his hands around his mouth to form a megaphone shape, and let out a tiger's roar towards Wang Yuyu on the mountaintop: "Awoo~"

Seeing this, the others also got excited, clasped their hands together, and roared in unison, "Awoo~"

The roars of tigers rose and fell, chaotic yet full of joy, drifting on the wind towards the mountaintop.

Listening to the chaotic, disjointed roars of tigers from the mountaintop, Wang Yuyu immediately frowned, his smile vanished, and he said with disdain:

"What kind of singing is this? It's awful, it has no power at all!"

"Let me teach you a lesson! I'll show you what a true tiger's roar really is!"

As he spoke, he cleared his throat, deliberately softened his tone, and slowly growled, "Awoo~"

The voice was drawn out, carrying a hint of tigerish laziness, yet also a touch of perfunctoriness.

On the highway, a group of people clearly heard the response from the mountaintop and immediately cheered and laughed, "Hahaha! He responded to us!"

The young man who had led the group immediately stood on his car, excitedly waving his arms and shouting to the crowd, "Everyone, we can't lose to someone with a guaranteed job! Let's all shout together and show him our strength, okay?"

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.

The young man clenched his fist and shouted, "Come on, listen to my commands!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"call!"

"Awoo~"

With everyone shouting in unison, a unified and resounding tiger's roar pierced the sky and rolled towards the mountaintop.

Hearing this from the mountaintop, Wang Yuyu frowned even more, her disdain deepening: "What is that? It's awful!"

"I've taught you so diligently, why can't you learn it?"

He roared down the mountain again, this time with a slightly higher pitch and a barely perceptible hint of anger at the end, "Awoo~"

"Ah! He responded! He responded to us! Let's do it again, and make sure it's even better than last time!"

The young man, his face flushed with excitement, raised his arm and shouted, and the crowd immediately roared in unison again, "Awooo!"

This time, the voices were louder and more unified than the last.

But when the sound reached Wang Yuyu's ears, it made him shudder, and even his previous good mood vanished.

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

After teaching her three more times, Wang Yuyu's patience finally ran out!

He abruptly stood up, glaring down at the crowd on the road, inwardly cursing, "He's hopeless! He's just hopeless!"

"You guys are absolutely terrible! After teaching for so long, not a single one of you has proper pronunciation!"

"You're the worst class I've ever taught!"

Then, he flicked his tail, turned around without looking back, and disappeared into the forest, not even giving the people below a second glance.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu had disappeared from the mountaintop, the group chatted amongst themselves for a few more minutes, recounting the amusing incident from earlier. Then, they all packed up their belongings and drove away.

Soon, the bustling highway returned to its usual tranquility, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind echoing through the mountains.

But at this moment, a huge wave had just been stirred up online. The videos taken by the crowd were uploaded to various social media platforms one after another, and soon they surged to the top of the trending searches.

The term "iron rice bowl" has once again sparked heated discussions across the internet's online community.

A few days later, one morning, Wang Yuyu walked with steady steps, slowly surveying his territory. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the point where his territory overlapped with that of his neighbor, the brown bear.

As soon as he stepped into the area, his nose twitched slightly, keenly catching the lingering, heavy scent of a brown bear in the air. The scent still carried a hint of freshness, indicating that it had been left recently.

A hint of amusement flashed in Wang Yuyu's amber eyes as she thought to herself, "Looks like my good neighbor has woken up from hibernation!"

"It's a real shame, though. That roaming wild bear didn't raid their den. I was so excited for nothing."

He flicked his tail, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, as if he was missing out on some fun without seeing his neighbor suffer misfortune.

Meanwhile, the brown bear that Wang Yuyu was talking about was currently five kilometers away from him, rubbing against a thick tree.

After waking from hibernation, it felt itchy all over. Its thick paws clung to the tree trunk, and its huge body twisted from side to side. Its rough brown fur caused the bark to fall off continuously, accumulating a thick layer of debris at the base of the tree.

After rubbing against each other for a while until the itching all over its body subsided, the brown bear stopped, shook its round body, and the wood chips on its body rose up, forming a small cloud of "mist".

Then, with clumsy yet steady steps, it slowly walked into the depths of the dense forest, leaving behind a string of deep bear paw prints.
