Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

She carefully pulled up her trouser leg and saw four neat red marks on her calf, arranged in parallel. Although the skin was not broken, they were already slightly red.

Tang Li gently touched the red mark, feeling only slight tenderness. She breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Thank goodness, it didn't break the skin. If it had, it would have been a real problem!"

Then, she looked up and saw a furry tiger face. Wang Yuyu was grinning, revealing four sharp tiger teeth, looking at her smugly, as if to say, "This is your lesson for taking pictures of me without my permission!"

Tang Li was instantly enraged. She reached out and forcefully pulled and pinched Wang Yuyu's face, deforming it, and cursed, "Look what you've done! My legs are all red and swollen from your bites, and you still have the nerve to laugh here!"

"How am I supposed to get down the mountain like this? Tell me! Tell me!"

Wang Yu let her pull his face, not only not resisting, but also looking at her with a smile, secretly delighted: "Serves you right for taking pictures of me secretly, for bullying me. This is just a little lesson. Let's see if you dare to do it again!"

After venting her anger for a while, Tang Li's temper gradually subsided. She picked up the plastic basin, leaned against a nearby boulder, and limped towards Zhuang Letian and the others, saying without turning her head:

"I'm coming down the mountain. You can play here by yourself, but don't cause any more trouble!"

Watching Tang Li's limping, somewhat forlorn figure, Wang Yuyu's heart skipped a beat. Her earlier smugness vanished instantly, replaced by panic and guilt: "Did I really go too far this time? Is she really angry?"

He rushed forward and stood in front of Tang Li, gently rubbing his furry tiger head against her thigh with a fawning expression.

"Tang Li, don't be angry anymore. I'll never do it again, I'll never bite you again. Please don't be mad at me, okay? Let me pat my tiger head, please forgive me..."

Tang Li stopped and looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was doing for a moment.

After watching for a while, she finally realized what was happening, and a slight smile crept onto her lips as she thought to herself, "Is he trying to please me? He's quite the smooth talker."

She reached out and gently touched Wang Yuyu's tiger head.

Wang Yuyu's eyes immediately lit up, and she gave her a big smile, even nuzzling her head into her hand.

With a soft "pfft," Tang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud. She squatted down, hugged Wang Yuyu's tiger head tightly, and said gently:

"Alright, alright, I'm not angry with you. It's just getting late, I need to hurry down the mountain."

"Have fun here by yourself, don't cause any more trouble, and don't eat anything indiscriminately. If you miss me, come find me at the zoo."

As she spoke, Tang Li kissed Wang Yuyu's tiger head several times, laughing as she said, "Is this alright now? Don't stop me, I'm going back!"

"Woo~" Wang Yuyu let out a low whimper, reluctantly moving aside to make way.

Tang Li kissed him on the head again before standing up and continuing to walk towards the woods.

After taking a few steps, she looked back and found Wang Yuyu still squatting in the same spot, staring straight at her with eyes full of reluctance.

She waved and called out with a smile, "It's hot, hurry back to the pool for a bath! No need to see me off, I'll come visit you again sometime!"

Wang Yuyu slowly raised her right paw and awkwardly waved it at Tang Li.

Tang Li looked at his adorable appearance and couldn't help but smile again. She turned around and continued walking forward, still limping.

Only after Tang Li's figure disappeared from sight did Wang Yuyu quickly climb onto a nearby boulder. Standing on top of the rock, he craned his neck and continued to watch in the direction Tang Li had gone, watching her walk into the dense forest and reunite with Zhuang Letian and the others.

When Tang Li turned around, she saw Wang Yuyu standing on top of the boulder, her small figure standing out against the verdant forest.

She waved again, a gentle smile on her face, and then followed Zhuang Letian and the others, gradually disappearing into the dense forest.

…………

In the following months, Wang Yuyu continued at his usual pace, patrolling his vast territory every day, checking for every trap, and driving away any uninvited guests who tried to intrude.

In his spare time, he would always go to see his second wife, spend some time with her, or go to the zoo to cuddle with Tang Li, get a few bites of her favorite food, and enjoy a moment of intimacy.

But what he missed most was his first wife.

He would always go to the overlapping area of ​​their territories, slow down, and carefully sniff the air, hoping to catch a trace of his first wife.

But each time things didn't go as planned. The first wife was so busy taking care of the cubs that she stopped patrolling the territory's boundaries and stayed in the core area of ​​her territory, guarding the two tiger cubs every step of the way.

Although Wang Yuyu was filled with longing, he never forcibly entered his first wife's territory.

He was both looking forward to seeing the little guy he had never met before, and inexplicably at a loss, not knowing how to face that tiny figure who shared his bloodline.

As the sweltering heat of midsummer gradually fades and the autumn wind quietly arrives, the entire forest sheds its former monotonous emerald green and dons a colorful and vibrant attire.

The branches and leaves of various colors intertwine, and when the wind blows, the fallen leaves drift down, spreading a soft, colorful carpet on the ground. The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees and the sweetness of ripe wild fruits, and the autumn atmosphere permeates every corner of the mountains and forests.

That morning, Wang Yu once again set off for the area that overlapped with his first wife's territory, still carrying a hint of anticipation as he cautiously surveyed the area.

Although it was already autumn, the sun was still scorching during the day. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, making it feel warm on her body. Before long, Wang Yuyu felt hot all over.

After walking a little further, he came to a clear stream. The stream flowed gently, carrying the coolness of the mountains. The pebbles at the bottom of the stream were round and smooth, and occasionally a few small fish darted by.

Without hesitation, Wang Yuyu stepped into the stream, immersing half of his body in the cool water. He leisurely flicked his tail, splashing water to cool off. His amber eyes were full of relaxation, but his gaze inadvertently drifted towards the mountains on the other side of the stream, which was in the direction of his first wife's territory.

On the other side of the mountain range, Wang Yuyu's first wife was leisurely climbing the mountain with two tiger cubs.

The mother tiger was agile and steady, stopping every few steps to sniff the surroundings warily, checking for potential dangers, and protecting her two cubs.

The siblings, however, were unusually lively, like two little fur balls, closely following their mother. They would chase each other and playfully fight, their clear little tiger roars echoing through the forest, full of life and energy.
