Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"Awoo!" Wang Yuyu leaned against the iron gate and let out a soft roar.

It then retracted its claws, squatted down on the open ground in front of the iron gate, raised its head slightly, stared at the iron gate, and waited quietly.

His tail was still wagging from time to time, revealing his anxiety.

Uncle Zhang walked to the iron gate, looked at the huge tiger crouching under the light on the monitor screen, shook his head helplessly, and muttered:

"Can't you come during the day, you little rascal?"

"Why do they have to come knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Don't they let people get any sleep?"

"What a troublesome person!"

Looking at Wang Yuyu's figure on the screen, which was noticeably thinner than a few months ago, Uncle Zhang sighed. Old people tend to talk more.

He lit a cigarette and casually started chatting with Wang Yuyu: "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, huh?"

"You don't look as chubby as you were a few months ago. Did you not eat properly while you were in the mountains?"

"Ugh!" Wang Yu glanced at the surveillance camera on the door and let out a very perfunctory shout.

Uncle Zhang ignored his perfunctory reply and continued nagging, "You really need to eat more!"

"Being too skinny won't do; being chubby is much more attractive and gives off a more imposing vibe!"

"Ugh!"

"Look at you now, you're so skinny you're almost no threat anymore. You won't be able to scare any predators!"

Uncle Zhang took a drag of his cigarette and began to speak at length, "Back in the day, when I was young, I encountered a tiger in the mountains. That guy was even stronger than you. With one roar, the entire forest fell silent..."

The man and the tiger were separated by an iron gate, one chattering away while the other listened silently, and it didn't seem out of place at all.

But as time went on, Uncle Zhang's mouth started like a machine gun, endlessly recounting his heroic deeds from his youth.

Wang Yuyu was finally at her wits' end, internally screaming, "My god, how can this old man talk so much? Has he not spoken for centuries?"

"Who wants to hear your dirty old stories from when you were young! I'm here to see Tang Li, not to hear you reminisce about the past!"

"Can you please shut up? Stop talking, you're making my ears ring!"

"Tang Li! When are you finally coming out? I can't take it anymore!"

"If you don't come soon, I'll just break down the iron gate and give this old man a good whack to shut him up!"

Wang Yuyu became increasingly irritated as she listened, and kept baring her teeth at the monitor.

Fortunately, Tang Li arrived on her electric scooter just before Wang Yuyu completely lost it.

The electric scooter stopped in front of Uncle Zhang. Tang Li jumped off and said eagerly, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest. Leave the rest to me; you should go back to your room and get some sleep!"

Uncle Zhang waved his hand with a smile, showing no sign of complaint: "It's nothing, it's nothing. These old bones of mine couldn't sleep anyway, so I thought I'd chat with my 'iron rice bowl' (guaranteed job) for a bit. It's been a long time since we've talked this much!"

Tang Li hurriedly urged, "Uncle Zhang, it's so cold, you should go back inside and rest. Don't catch a cold, I'm here!"

"I'm going out to check on the job security, so he won't keep waiting."

"Okay, then you have to be careful. This little guy seems a bit impatient today. If anything happens, just shout and I'll be right there!" Uncle Zhang said worriedly before turning back to the security room.

Tang Li nodded, picked up a large bag of fresh pork that she had prepared, opened the iron gate, and carefully walked out.

As soon as she opened the door, Tang Li instinctively opened her arms, ready for Wang Yuyu to rush over and hug her.

In the past, whenever Wang Yuyu came, he would excitedly rush over to rub against her and hug her as soon as the door opened.

This time, however, she only saw an empty doorway, which surprised her, and she subconsciously looked ahead.

Wang Yuyu was squatting on the open ground five meters away from the iron gate, his head drooping slightly, his amber eyes full of displeasure, staring intently at her with a wronged look that said, "You actually came so late."

"What's going on?" Tang Li was full of questions, thinking to herself, "I was only a few minutes late, and this 'iron rice bowl' thing is getting angry? And throwing a tantrum?"

Seeing Tang Li standing at the door, not coming over for a long time, Wang Yuyu grew even more anxious. He quickly raised his paw and gently beckoned to her, letting out a low growl as if urging, "Tang Li, come here quickly, come here quickly!"

"That old man talks too much, he's driving me crazy! I never want to listen to his nagging again!" he complained inwardly, his eyes filled with impatience.

Tang Li snapped out of her daze and, seeing Wang Yuyu's anxious and aggrieved expression, couldn't help but feel a little wary. She muttered to herself, "That 'iron rice bowl' is acting strange tonight; he's much more impatient than usual. I'd better be careful!"

She glanced at the small wooden cabin next to her; it was warm and lit, so she shouted to Wang Yuyu, "A secure job! It's cold outside, let's talk inside the cabin, it's warm there!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyu immediately nodded, stood up, and walked towards the small wooden house.

Seeing how obedient Wang Yuyu was, Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt relieved: "Thank goodness, he still listens to me, so he should be fine."

She quickly picked up the meat in her hand and hurried after him.

Upon arriving at the cabin, Wang Yu immediately pounced on Tang Li, his massive body gently resting on her legs, his head rubbing against her body, nuzzling and rubbing against her.

Tang Li quickly raised the bag of meat high in her hand, afraid that he would tear it, and gently kicked Wang Yuyu with her other foot, saying with a helpless yet amused expression:

"Move over there! Move over there! Can't you see I'm carrying something?"

"Get out of my way and let me through!"

But Wang Yuyu wouldn't listen at all, still sticking to her feet, circling around her, his huge body occasionally brushing against her legs, making Tang Li stagger and unable to stand steadily, she could only move slowly by holding onto the wall next to her.

The wooden house, which was originally just a stone's throw away, took Tang Li a full minute to finally get to the door because of his persistent pestering.

She plopped down in the doorway of the wooden house, looking at the large tiger head lying obediently on her lap, and immediately lost her temper. She reached out her finger and gently poked his forehead again and again.

"Why are you so clingy?"

"It's like this every time we meet, like a leech, I can't shake it off!"

"Am I that fragrant? Or do you just like rubbing against me like this, deliberately causing trouble?"

Wang Yu blinked her big amber eyes and stared at Tang Li with a blank expression, letting out a long, soft whimper: "Wuwu~".

Her tone was full of grievance and dependence, as if she were saying, "I just want to cling to you, I miss you."

Hearing that soft whimper, Tang Li's heart melted instantly, all her dissatisfaction vanished, and she quickly cupped his tiger head in her hands and kissed his fluffy forehead several times.
