Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"What a pity! Since one of the tigers doesn't want to eat it, I won't force him. I'll take the watermelon to the other tigers in the zoo later so they can have a taste too!"

As she spoke, she pretended to push the cart back!

Hearing the splashing sound of water behind her, she chuckled to herself. But the next second, she turned around and was startled, exclaiming, "Ah! How come you walk so quietly! You scared me to death!"

It turned out that Wang Yuyu had been unable to resist any longer. Upon hearing the words "chilled watermelon," she immediately jumped out of the iron basin and quietly ran behind her.

Tang Li patted her chest to calm herself down, then gently patted his head and said irritably, "You rascal, were you trying to scare me on purpose?"

Wang Yuyu completely ignored her complaints, her eyes fixed on the cart, eagerly rushing forward, wanting nothing more than to see where the chilled watermelon was.

Seeing him dripping wet, Tang Li quickly took a few steps back to make way for him, muttering, "Be careful, you're splashing water all over me!"

But Wang Yuyu wouldn't listen. As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, he flicked his tail and lashed it squarely across Tang Li's leg.

"Ouch!" Tang Li gasped, glancing down at the water stains on her pants. Her lips twitched, and she silently cursed, "I shouldn't have said anything. That damn tiger, that really hurt!"

Seeing the culprit still lingering in front of her, Tang Li was furious. She immediately stepped forward, grabbed the tiger's tail, and pulled it back hard, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Wang Yu glanced back at her, his amber eyes filled with speechlessness, but he didn't struggle and just let her pull his tail.

He peered over to the cart, reached out and lifted the cover, and his face was filled with disappointment.

There was no chilled watermelon in the cart that Tang Li had mentioned. Instead, there was a large block of ice steaming with a piece of fresh meat embedded in the middle, and several round fruits next to it, which looked like apples and pears.

Wang Yu turned to look at Tang Li, who was still wrestling with her tail, and silently thought to himself, "Is this woman out of her mind? How dare she lie to me! Chilled watermelon? Who are you trying to fool?!"

With a slight effort and a gentle flick of his tail, he pulled the object back from Tang Li's grasp.

Tang Li's face flushed red instantly when she saw Wang Yuyu's gaze, which seemed to look at her as an "idiot." She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Her eyes darted to the side, and she could dig three bedrooms and a living room out of the ground with her toes.

"Forget it, why bother arguing with a woman? There's nothing to lose anyway, and these are edible!"

He stopped worrying about the watermelon, lowered his head, bit the handle of the cart, and dragged it hard towards the iron basin.

"Let me help you!" Seeing this, Tang Li quickly stepped forward and helped push the cart from behind, saying softly as she pushed, "I'm sorry, I only lied to you so you would help me. I promise I won't lie to you next time!"

The man and the tiger worked together seamlessly and quickly pushed the cart to the side of the iron basin.

Tang Li lifted the cover and poured the ice, meat, and fruit from the truck bed into the iron basin.

Wang Yu immediately jumped into the iron basin, used her paws to pull the ice blocks into her arms, hugged them tightly, and stuck out her tongue to slowly lick them.

The cool sensation spread from the tip of his tongue throughout his body, dispelling all the heat. He felt so comfortable that he squinted his eyes and let out a low, satisfied hum.

Tang Li squatted by the iron basin, propping her chin up with her hand, looking at him with a smile, her eyes full of doting: "Look at you, lick it slowly, don't get your tongue stuck to it!"

"Do you think I'm some kind of stupid fool from the South? Trying to lick iron with my head in my head!"

Wang Yuyu licked the food a few times, then, glancing out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tang Li still squatting there, and immediately stopped licking. She looked up, staring intently at Tang Li, her amber eyes filled with doubt, as if asking:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen me eat ice cream before? Get out of here and don't bother me!"

Tang Li said with a smile, "Eat quickly, otherwise the ice will melt and there won't be any left!"

Wang Yu lowered her head again, licked the ice a few more times, and seeing that Tang Li was still squatting there, showing no intention of leaving, she suddenly became a little angry and growled at her in a low voice, "Ugh!"

Tang Li didn't understand what he meant. She looked down at the water in the iron basin, thinking there wasn't enough water and he wasn't feeling comfortable. She quickly reached out to touch the water temperature and said with a smile:

"What's wrong? Is there not enough water for you to soak in? Should I add some more water?"

Without waiting for Wang Yuyu's response, she immediately stood up and hurriedly ran towards the iron gate, shouting as she ran, "Wait for me! I'll add some more water for you, I promise you'll have a very comfortable soak!"

Watching Tang Li's hurried departure, Wang Yuyu paused for a moment, then a smile crept onto her lips as she thought to herself, "Silly girl, but kind of cute!"

He shook his head, then lowered it again, continuing to lick the ice cube in his arms, enjoying the refreshing coolness.

A moment later, Tang Li came running back, dragging a water hose: "Uncle Zhang, you can turn on the water now!"

"Okay, Xiao Tang!" Uncle Zhang replied and immediately turned on the tap.

Tang Li aimed the water pipe at Wang Yuyu's head, letting the cool water flow down his fur and slowly into the iron basin.

Wang Yuyu squinted comfortably, tilting her head back slightly. Every now and then, she would stick out her tongue and lick the ice cube in her arms, then lick the cool water that was flowing down. She was extremely pleased with herself.

"How is it? Comfortable, right?" Tang Li asked with a smile, gently adjusting the direction of the water pipe to ensure that his whole body was soaked.

Wang Yuyu nodded slightly, letting out a low response, as if saying "comfortable".

Seeing Wang Yuyu's satisfaction, Tang Li's smile deepened, and she said cautiously, "Well... how about you do me a favor? It's just a small favor, no trouble at all!"

Wang Yu instantly became alert, turned her head, and stared at Tang Li with a serious expression. Her amber eyes were full of vigilance, and she muttered to herself, "I knew you were being so helpful for no reason! You're definitely up to no good!"

Tang Li assumed he had agreed and immediately said excitedly, "Isn't this the Year of the Tiger? Our reserve wants to take some cool photos of Siberian tigers for publicity purposes, to get more people to pay attention to and protect Siberian tigers!"

"Furthermore, our Linhai City Culture and Tourism Bureau also wants to use these photos for tourism promotion to attract more people to visit our area."

As she spoke, she observed Wang Yuyu's expression, her tone becoming increasingly ingratiating, "You're not leaving now, so could you help me with this small favor?"

"Just a few photos, it'll be quick!"

"I promise, next time you come, I'll buy you lots and lots of delicious food, and real chilled watermelon, I promise! Okay?"

"You're the best at securing a stable job, you're the most obedient, so please help me out..."

Tang Li pulled on his tiger paw and shook it gently, her voice trailing off with a long, coquettish tone.
