Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tiger Mom saw all of this, but she didn't say anything or turn around; she simply pretended not to see it.

The little brother carefully went around behind Tiger Mom, and after confirming that Tiger Mom wasn't angry, he immediately lay down close to Tiger Mom's body, gently resting his little head on Tiger Mom's back, and a satisfied smile instantly appeared on his face.

Not long after, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Tiger Mom looked at Wang Yuyu and her sister beside her for a while. Seeing that they were both quiet, she gradually closed her eyes and rested with her younger brother.

After the little brother fell asleep, his head tilted uncontrollably to one side, swaying back and forth toward the ground as if he might fall off at any moment. His little paws were still tightly gripping his mother's fur, making him look extremely cute.

On the other side, Wang Yuyu had also succumbed to sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep once again.

The older sister played with a small ball for a while, but got bored. She looked up and saw that her parents and younger brother were all asleep. A strong feeling of sleepiness instantly washed over her.

She yawned widely, her mouth wide open, revealing her tiny sharp teeth. Then she slowly moved closer to Wang Yuyu, pressing her face against his belly. Her little head gently touched Wang Yuyu's big head, and she closed her eyes, quickly drifting off to sleep.

The little ball, lying on the ground, waited quietly for a long time. Seeing that no tiger touched it again, it quietly extended its camera, slowly rotating to observe the surrounding situation.

When the camera panned to the sleeping family of four, it instantly captured this heartwarming and therapeutic afternoon nap, transmitting it in real time to the research base.

Inside the research facility, the researcher controlling the small ball looked at the image on his computer screen and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! How cute!"

Hearing his exclamation, the other researchers immediately looked up and urged him all at once, "Put it on the big screen quickly! Don't watch it alone!"

"Yeah, yeah, put it up there so we can see it too!"

"Hurry up, we're dying to know!"

"Big screen!"

"Zoom in on the screen!"

"..."

The researcher immediately smiled and nodded, then quickly got to work: "Right away, right away, don't rush me! It'll be on the big screen right away!"

Soon, the footage captured by the camera was clearly displayed on the big screen.

Everyone gasped as they watched the family of four sleeping peacefully, nestled together in pairs on the screen. Their eyes lit up and they smiled.

"My goodness! How can there be such a beautiful beast!"

"Look! That head tilt! He's sleeping so soundly, so adorable, it melts my heart!"

"This super big, chubby cat is so cute, I want to pet it!"

"So heartwarming! The family of four snuggling together, they look so happy!"

"So cute and adorable!"

"So cute! Oh my god! I really want to hug and rub this big cat's head!"

"They're so cute with their tiger-like heads and chubby cheeks, I really want to hug them and cuddle them!"

"Tigers are truly amazing, embodying beauty, handsomeness, and majesty all at once!"

"I really want to be hugged; it must feel so warm!"

"I actually saw gentleness and virtue in a tiger's face!"

"I'll pet little Hakimi a couple of times; my secure job shouldn't say anything, right?"

"..."

Exclamations of admiration rose and fell among the crowd, their eyes glued to the big screen, wishing they could fly to the forest immediately to witness this heartwarming scene up close, even forgetting their work.

After everyone had been admiring the view for a while, Ji Yongjun's voice suddenly came from behind, carrying a hint of seriousness: "Alright, stop looking and get back to work!"

Upon hearing Ji Yongjun's voice, everyone was startled, like naughty students caught in the act. They quickly turned around to look at Ji Yongjun, then lowered their heads and pretended to work diligently.

"Oh no, I've been slacking off during work hours and got caught by the supervisor! I'm definitely going to get a scolding!"

Ji Yongjun didn't say much. In fact, he had already come out of the office. He had been attracted by the image of a family of four sleeping soundly on the big screen and stood there watching for a long time.

Before returning to his office, Ji Yongjun looked at the researcher manipulating the ball and said seriously, "Send me the video you just filmed; I need to study it carefully!"

"Yes, Director!" The researcher nodded quickly, suppressing a smile, but he knew perfectly well that the director wasn't interested in studying the habits; he clearly wanted to secretly admire the animals.

Once the office door closed, everyone immediately looked up, all turning to look in the direction of Ji Yongjun's office, their eyes filled with envy, whispering amongst themselves:

"The director is definitely watching the videos secretly. What kind of research is this? He's just being stubborn!"

"I wish we could watch openly too! I'm so envious of the director!"

"..."

Soft murmurs arose in the office, while in the mountains, the family of four remained nestled together, fast asleep.

…………

A few days later, in the early morning, Wang Yuyu successfully hunted down an adult male wild boar.

The wild boar had somehow appeared in the forest, posing a significant threat to the tiger mother and her two cubs.

After eliminating this potential hazard, he didn't even have time to eat a bite of hot meat before turning around to leave.

His joint inspection with Tiger Mom officially ended here.

Further ahead lie two distinct territorial boundaries, requiring them to head in different directions to protect their own territories.

Tiger Mom watched Wang Yuyu turn away, her eyes filled with reluctance. She quickly stepped forward and nuzzled his neck and cheeks repeatedly, showing affection and dependence.

These past few days have undoubtedly been the most comfortable days for Tiger Mom.

Without having to go through the trouble of hunting and foraging, Wang Yuyu always prepared plenty of food in advance.

She only needs to stay by the two little ones' side and take good care of these two naughty little guys, without having to face the dangers and hardships of the mountains and forests alone.

She cherished this sense of security and protection.

After a long period of intimacy, Wang Yuyu looked at Tiger Mom's dependent appearance, hardened her heart, gently pushed her away, and turned to leave without looking back.

Not far away, two tiger cubs were lying on the wild boar carcass, tearing at it and fighting over it, completely unaware of Wang Yuyu's departure, still immersed in their own little world.

A few days later, one evening, Wang Yuyu was patrolling along the way when, unknowingly, he came to a forest firebreak.

He emerged from the dense woods and stepped onto the smooth firebreak, his nose immediately catching a distinct, unusual scent.

"Have other tigers passed through here?"

"It's almost winter, how come there are still tigers roaming outside?"

Wang Yu lowered his head and carefully sniffed the ground. "The smell is still very strong, so we must not have gone very far."

His nose twitched slightly as he caught a faint smell of blood again. His heart tightened: "There's still the smell of blood. Could it be that he failed to seize territory and was injured?"
