Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"Hahaha..." Uncle Zhang burst into laughter at her antics. "Little Tang, you're not even afraid of a tiger as powerful as a secure job, yet you're afraid of this tiny snake? How amusing!"

"You'll need to work on your courage. Whenever you have time, I'll take you to try snake meat. After you eat it, I guarantee you'll never be afraid of snakes again!"

"No, no, I won't go!" Tang Li shook her head vigorously, waving her hands in refusal. "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Zhang, but I'd rather starve than eat snake meat!"

"Sigh!" Uncle Zhang shook his head, feigning disappointment, his tone tinged with regret. "Little Tang, you really don't have the luck to enjoy this!"

"When I was your age, we couldn't even get our hands on wild snake meat if we wanted to!"

"Unlike you people, you have food to eat but you're still not happy!"

"Uncle Zhang, please stop!" Tang Li firmly refused. "I'm genuinely afraid of snakes. No matter what, I won't go eat with you!"

Wang Yuyu munched on snake meat while listening to the two men's conversation, occasionally glancing up at Uncle Zhang on the wall, muttering to himself:

"So this old man is quite the gourmand. I wonder what other delicacies he's eaten; maybe he still has a lot of good stuff hidden away at home!"

Uncle Zhang caught Wang Yuyu's gaze and teased, "What's wrong? A secure job? Judging from your eyes, do you want to come eat with me too?"

Wang Yuyu stopped chewing, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"This zoo is full of hidden talents. That old guy, the zoo director, only assigned this old fellow to guard the back gate. I guess this old guy is not simple. He might actually be able to find some good food."

"Agree to his offer first, and see if you can get something out of it. You can't lose out."

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang laughed even harder: "Oh, you really want to go?"

"What a pity! Your tiger skin is too scary. If we brought you there, everyone in the restaurant would probably be scared away, and no one would dare to cook for us!"

"You can only dream about it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyu instantly flew into a rage, glaring at Uncle Zhang, opening her blood-red mouth to reveal sharp teeth, and letting out a fierce growl from her throat.

"Old man, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm easy to bully, or do you think I'm too weak to fight back?"

"If you're so capable, come down here and let's have a one-on-one fight. Let's see who admits defeat first and who begs for mercy first!"

He was so angry that the hairs on his body stood on end, and he looked like he was about to charge at any moment.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu was really angry, Tang Li frowned and walked over, gently patted his head, and coaxed him softly, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Uncle Zhang was just joking with you. Hurry up and eat, the snake meat is getting cold."

"You actually believe Uncle Zhang? He's just teasing you. Be careful he doesn't sell you out, and you'll still be foolishly counting money for him!"

Wang Yu snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Uncle Zhang, then angrily lowered her head and continued to tear at the snake meat, muttering to herself:

"For Tang Li's sake, I'll let it slide with you, you old geezer!"

"Don't let this happen again. If you dare to mess with me again, I'll teach you a lesson!"

After appeasing Wang Yuyu, Tang Li turned and glared at Uncle Zhang on the wall, scolding him, "Uncle Zhang, it's one thing to joke with me, but why are you joking about a secure job?"

"You know how petty he is. What if you really push him too far and he knocks on your security room door in the middle of the night? What will you do then?"

"Aww!" Wang Yuyu immediately raised her head, let out a low growl, and glared at Tang Li with dissatisfaction.

"Hey, I'm still here!"

"Isn't it incredibly disrespectful of you to speak ill of me to my face?"

"You really think I'm easygoing and won't bite you?"

Tang Li gave an embarrassed smile after being glared at by him, quickly waving her hands and saying ingratiatingly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I won't say bad things about you in front of you next time, okay?"

"Next time?! You really don't treat me like a human being!"

Wang Yu rolled her eyes, lowered her head with a disdainful look, and continued to gnaw on the snake meat.

"Suit yourself. Say whatever you want. As long as I get some meat, it doesn't matter if you say a few bad things. It won't hurt me anyway."

Tang Li looked at his aggrieved expression, raised her head, winked at Uncle Zhang on the wall, and smiled smugly, as if to say, "See, I can still handle him."

Uncle Zhang leaned against the wall, covering his mouth and chuckling incessantly!

These two are hilarious!

After finishing the spicy snack, Wang Yu stretched and shook her head.

Then, he walked slowly toward Tang Li, intending to ask her to wipe his mouth!

But as soon as Tang Li saw him approaching, she immediately backed away, her face full of disgust, waving her hands vigorously.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!"

"You just ate snake, you're filthy, don't touch me!"

"Go wash your hands and rinse your mouth at that pool over there, make sure you're clean, then come find me. Otherwise, don't even think about getting close to me!"

Wang Yu stood there, stunned. She looked down at her own paws, then looked up at Tang Li, who was clearly resistant. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and silently complained to herself:

"Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? I ate snakes, not the snakes themselves. Why are you so afraid?"

But seeing Tang Li retreating repeatedly, deliberately keeping her distance from him, and even her legs trembling slightly, his little scheme instantly vanished, and he shook his head helplessly:

"Sigh, never mind, I won't tease you anymore. It's your own fault for being so afraid of snakes."

"Look at you, so pathetic. Your legs are shaking like leaves. I'm not going to eat you."

He obediently turned around and walked towards the pool not far away.

There was still plenty of water in the pool, enough for him to wash his hands and rinse his mouth to get rid of the fishy smell on his body.

After thoroughly washing himself, Wang Yuyu walked towards Tang Li again. "Now you won't dislike me, will you? I'm all clean now, there's no smell at all."

This time, Tang Li did not back down. When Wang Yuyu obediently squatted down in front of her, she took out a clean towel from her pocket and gently wiped the water droplets off his body.

After drying off the water stains, Wang Yu lay down on the ground and gently tugged at Tang Li's hand with her paws, her eyes full of expectation, signaling her to continue grooming her.

He had only combed halfway through when he was interrupted by the snake meat; he hadn't had enough of that comfortable feeling yet.

Tang Li smiled helplessly, ran to pick up the comb she had thrown on the ground, sat down next to him again, and continued to groom his fur. As she did so, she said earnestly:

"It's a secure job, but the weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is just around the corner. Poachers will become more active then, so you have to be careful in the mountains and don't let your guard down."
