Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tang Li continued, "You also need to be careful. If you spot a drone or something, don't be foolish and rush over to see what's going on, giving away your location!"

"These days, drones aren't necessarily in our protected areas; they might be belonging to bad actors!"

"Also, if you spot any bad guys, be sure to come to me immediately, or go to a nearby village and ask for help!"

"With today's advanced technology, thermal imaging cameras are practically worthless. Many bad guys equip themselves with these to track you down, so you'd better stay far away!"

"You're completely transparent in front of these technological devices; you won't even have a chance to launch a sneak attack!"

"Don't fight back! Seek help immediately. Once you're inside a human settlement, no one will dare to arrest you. I'll come to rescue you!"

Seeing Wang Yuyu's droopy ears, as if the words were going in one ear and out the other, Tang Li immediately reached out and pried one of his ears open, leaned close, and raised her voice, asking, "Did you hear me or not! Don't take this lightly!"

Wang Yuyu, unable to eat in peace due to the noise, nodded repeatedly, "I heard you, I heard you! How many times have you said these things over and over again? Aren't you tired of it?!"

"Aren't you tired? I'm tired of listening to you!"

"He's like a nagging monk, constantly babbling on and on!"

Tang Li glared at him and said firmly, "I know you find this annoying, but you'd better remember this!"

As she spoke, she gently pressed Wang Yuyu's head into the rice bowl, scolding him playfully, "Eat your meat! All you do is eat all day long, you don't care about anything else!"

"Be careful, someone might secretly kidnap you one day, then you won't even have a bite of meat to eat!"

"Hmph! I'm not that unlucky!" Wang Yuyu thought disdainfully, brimming with arrogance. "Trying to catch me? Maybe in your next life!"

Tang Li stroked the tiger's head, her face beaming with pleasure, thinking to herself, "Eating so much has really paid off. This tiger-skin coat is so smooth and shiny, it feels so nice to touch!"

"If it weren't for the law, I'd really like to keep you in the park and sleep with you every night!"

Soon, dusk settled and the sky darkened.

Tang Li picked up the last bright red strawberry from the plate, pinched the stem, looked down at the big tiger head lying obediently on her lap, and deliberately waved it in front of Wang Yuyu's round tiger eyes.

"Want some?"

Seeing the tiger's eyes follow the strawberry, she grinned mischievously, then gently tossed the strawberry into her mouth, mumbling, "No, I won't give it to you!"

Seeing Wang Yuyu instantly frown and bare his teeth in dissatisfaction, Tang Li couldn't help but shake her head with a grin, deliberately slowing down her chewing and making "smacking" sounds, saying with a satisfied expression:

"It's so delicious, sweet and juicy."

"Hmph!" Wang Yuyu snorted coldly, abruptly getting up from the ground. Her amber eyes were filled with resentment as she stared intently at Tang Li, her heart filled with indignation.

"You despicable woman! We agreed that all these strawberries were mine, and you actually stole some!"

"You not only stole some, but you also specifically ate the tips of the strawberries, leaving me with the astringent bottoms!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I can't tell the difference?"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and gently bumped his head against Tang Li, his face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Tang Li smiled and reached out to gently stroke his tiger head, trying to appease him, "It's a secure job, it's just that I ate a few strawberries from you, don't be upset!"

"You're a carnivore, eating too much plant-based food is bad for your stomach. I'm doing this for your own good, don't you understand?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but let out a burp, "burp~", and a strong strawberry flavor wafted out of her mouth.

Tang Li's face instantly turned red to her ears, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed. She quickly turned her head away and looked to the side, not daring to look Wang Yuyu in the eye!

Now it's all out in the open; the theft can't be hidden anymore.

Looking at her like this, Wang Yuyu's eyes became even more resentful. "You woman, just how many strawberries did you secretly eat?"

"You've already burped, and you still have the nerve to say you're doing this for my own good!"

"Mmm~" Tang Li hummed softly a few times, then quickly reached out and pushed Wang Yuyu's tiger head towards the woods, deliberately putting on a serious face to change the subject:

"Forget about the strawberries, it's getting late, you should go back to the mountains!"

"It's getting dark and cool now, perfect for you to patrol the territory. Let's go!"

"Go quickly, and be careful on the road!"

"Hmph!" Wang Yu raised his tiger head arrogantly and slowly walked towards the woods. "This king is magnanimous; I'll forgive you this time!"

"If you dare steal my food again, I'll really bite you, and I won't hold back!"

Watching Wang Yuyu's retreating figure, Tang Li stood there, waving her hands vigorously and shouting, "Even with a secure job, you have to be careful!"

"Be careful and don't reveal your whereabouts easily!"

"Awooo~" Wang Yu stopped at the edge of the woods and turned back to let out a soft roar in Tang Li's direction.

Then, flicking its long tail, it leaped into the woods and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu had completely disappeared, Tang Li's smile gradually faded, and a faint sense of loss rose in her heart.

They could only see each other once or twice a month, and each time they spent together was very short. When they parted, they were really reluctant to leave.

She looked down at the scattered food bowl and strawberry stems on the ground, muttering softly, "Why can't I adopt you?"

"If only I could keep you in a zoo, so I could see you and touch you every day, how wonderful that would be."

She then thought, "Even a sanctuary wouldn't raise someone like you!"

"Only the true wilderness, with its vast forests and abundant prey, can nurture a majestic and unruly king of the forest like yourself."

Tang Li muttered to herself as she bent down to clean up the mess on the ground, tidying up the empty bowls and trash one by one, preparing to take them back to the garden.

On the other side, Wang Yuyu slowly climbed up the ridge, stopped, glanced back at the lights of the zoo at the foot of the mountain, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, then turned around and continued to walk deeper into the mountains.

Winter is coming soon, it will be cold and long, so he must eat more and fatten himself up to accumulate enough fat to get through the harsh winter!

He wagged his tail as he walked, calculating in his mind:

"What should we get to eat?"

"After raising them for spring, summer, and autumn, the animals in the mountains have all grown plump and their numbers have increased considerably, making it quite difficult to choose!"

"How about we go eat a deer?"

"Venus meat is tender and nourishing, perfect for storing up energy for winter."

But the thought was quickly dismissed: "No, no, deer grow too slowly, and there aren't many of them. If they eat too much now, they'll have to eat less in winter. We need to save them for later!"
