Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 331 The Temptation of Food

Tang Li glanced at Wang Yuyu, who was squatting in the distance, refusing to come over no matter what. A sudden idea struck her, and her tone softened even more:

"A secure job, hurry up and come here, you know you can't escape it!"

"This injection is for deworming; it's really for your own good!"

"Otherwise, after you molt, you'll be covered in bugs and unbearably itchy. Don't come asking me to scratch you then!"

"How about this? I'll have someone bring the food over, and you can stay here and watch over things!"

"I'll give you the injection, and you can eat right away afterward, it won't delay you at all, how about that?"

"Great! Come on over quickly, the sooner we finish, the sooner you can eat something delicious and won't have to suffer anymore!"

Wang Yuyu was immediately caught in a dilemma again, struggling with her thoughts: "Last time when I was molting, I also got a flea and tick shot. After that, I felt clean and refreshed all summer long, and I didn't itch at all. It was really comfortable."

"I think today's injection will have the same effect, right?"

"When you're shedding your fur, you're most susceptible to fleas, and the itching can keep you up at night, making it even more uncomfortable!"

"But injections really hurt! Those needles are so thick, it must hurt terribly every time I get a prick!"

"Should I go or not...?"

While Wang Yuyu was struggling with her decision, Tang Li quietly took out her phone and sent a message to the people in the park to send out Wang Yuyu's dinner.

Not long after, with a creak, the iron gate of the zoo slowly opened, and two staff members ran out carrying two large food bowls, quickly placing the bowls on the ground.

He glanced at Tang Li and Wang Yuyu not far away, then immediately turned around, ran back into the garden in a flash, and slammed the iron gate shut.

The rice bowl was filled with the enticing aroma of fresh beef and ribs, which wafted far and wide.

Wang Yuyu's nose twitched, her eyes were instantly drawn to the rice bowl, and she involuntarily moved her feet forward, her conflicted expression deepening.

Tang Li pointed to the two large basins of food on the ground, a sly smile on her face, and said enticingly, "A secure job! Look, two large basins of fresh meat and sweet fruit!"

"These are all your favorite foods, do you want some?"

"If you want some, come over quickly and finish your deworming shot obediently. All of these are yours; no one will take them from you!"

As she spoke, she gently patted the first-aid kit beside her, deliberately slowing down her speech to whet Wang Yu's appetite.

Wang Yuyu's gaze was fixed on the two large bowls of food, her nose twitching incessantly, drool dripping from the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with longing.

"It smells so good! It smells amazing!"

He secretly admired her and subconsciously took a step forward, but when he caught a glimpse of the medicine box in Tang Li's hand, he stopped as if burned and shook his head vigorously.

The longing in his eyes was instantly replaced by wariness, and he remained rooted to the spot, refusing to take another step forward.

The pain of injections was something he feared even more than the temptation of delicious food.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu remained unmoved, Tang Li's eyes darted around, and she immediately resorted to provocation. She deliberately sighed, shook her head, and said disappointedly, "Sigh, if you don't want to fight, then don't!"

"I never expected our 'iron rice bowl' (a metaphor for a secure job) to be so cowardly. You're supposed to be a majestic Siberian tiger, yet you're afraid of a tiny needle! If word gets out, it's a disgrace to you Siberian tigers!"

"Since you're so afraid, then forget it. I'll take these two bowls of food back to the other tigers in the enclosure; they'll definitely love them!"

She paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, the beef I promised you will be saved for you separately. After you finish eating, go back to the mountains. You don't need to come to me for any more good food."

As she spoke, Tang Li turned and walked towards the iron gate, deliberately slowing her pace and occasionally shaking her head, looking as if she was disappointed in Tang Li.

His eyes, however, were secretly glancing behind him, keeping an eye on Wang Yuyu's movements.

Wang Yu watched Tang Li's retreating figure, her amber eyes filled with speechless frustration, inwardly cursing, "Keep acting! Keep acting!"

"Do you think I can't see through your provocation? Do you really think I'm a stupid tiger? I won't fall for your tricks!"

On the other side, Tang Li slowed her pace, her ears perked up, listening intently to the sounds behind her, her heart pounding with anxiety.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Is someone with a secure job so afraid of needles that even all this delicious food can't tempt him?"

"Speak up and stop me! Stop me!"

"If you don't make a sound, I'm really going to take the food away. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

She silently repeated this to herself, slowing her pace even further, waiting for Wang Yuyu to give in.

The man and the tiger remained locked in a stalemate, one pretending to be calm as he walked forward, the other standing still, neither willing to back down first!

Tang Li walked up to the two large bowls of food, but still didn't hear Wang Yuyu's voice. Her temper flared up instantly: "You think you're so tough, keeping quiet all this time?"

"You really don't want to get a shot, right?"

"Then you shouldn't eat it!"

"I'm not kidding, take all the food away right now!"

She squatted down and deftly picked out all the beef from one of the basins, putting the rest of the food into another basin.

Then, gripping the bowl full of food with both hands, he gritted his teeth, struggled to lift it, and walked step by step toward the iron gate.

Seeing that Tang Li was serious, Wang Yu panicked instantly, thinking to himself, "Holy crap, she's actually serious!"

"That food is mine! Don't take it away! Put it down right now!"

He no longer cared about being afraid of injections; his mind was filled with the panic of having his food stolen. He rushed over and blocked Tang Li's path with his massive body, letting out an urgent and fierce growl!

Tang Li looked at Wang Yuyu, who was standing in front of her, pacing anxiously. She suppressed her laughter, immediately put down the basin in her hand, and was already overjoyed inside.

"Hahaha, I knew you couldn't resist!"

"I thought you could really sit still and would rather forgo delicious food than get a shot!"

"Now that you're here, let me give you a proper acupuncture treatment!"

She looked at Wang Yuyu with feigned confusion and a displeased expression, "Why did you come over here? Didn't you refuse to get the shot earlier?"

"What, you've changed your mind now and are willing to get the shot obediently?"

Upon hearing the words "injection," Wang Yuyu's body instantly stiffened, her forelegs and chest trembled uncontrollably, and panic resurfaced in her eyes.

But when his gaze fell upon the bowl full of delicious food next to him, his fear was replaced by greed.

He turned his head away, looked to the side, and nodded slightly, somewhat embarrassed.
