Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Suddenly, several unusual message notification sounds rang out, instantly waking the drowsy researcher.

Holy crap!

The researcher blurted out his catchphrase unconsciously, then looked around in a panic, fearing that some emergency had occurred, or perhaps he was simply afraid of ghosts!

After looking around and finding nothing amiss, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and soothed his frightened heart.

After a while, he let out a big yawn, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he fumbled for the mouse and clicked on the latest message pushed by the system to see what it was!

But when he opened the message and saw Wang Yuyu's grinning "selfie" in the video, he instantly came to his senses.

His eyes widened, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha...isn't this a secure job?"

He excitedly whispered, "They're even taking selfies!"

"Did they deliberately show up to let us know they're safe?"

"Oh my, look at that smiling face, her eyes are almost gone, so cute..."

As he chattered on, he quickly took screenshots and sent photos of Wang Yuyu's smiling face to Ji Yongjun.

Ever since they learned that Wang Yuyu refused to wear the small ball, they have been living in constant fear, afraid that Wang Yuyu would be targeted and captured by poachers, or accidentally step into a trap in the forest, or something else would happen to her!

Now that they see Wang Yuyu appear safe and sound, they can finally put their minds at ease!

…………

The next morning, Wang Yu woke up beside a pool of water.

On the horizon, the rising sun slowly casts its golden rays upon the pristine snow, shimmering with tiny golden light and bathing the tranquil mountain forest in a warm glow.

Wang Yu stretched and yawned widely at the rising sun on the horizon, his mouth widening to reveal sharp teeth, his eyes still tinged with drowsiness.

After regaining his senses, he slowly walked towards the pool!

At this time, the surface of the pool was already covered with a thick layer of ice!

It snowed again last night, and the thick snow completely covered the pond, making it blend seamlessly with the surrounding snow.

If Wang Yuyu hadn't known that this was a pool of water, she probably would have easily overlooked it, or even accidentally stepped on the ice and fallen into the pool!

He raised his paw and brushed away the snow on the ice, revealing a layer of crystal-clear ice so smooth that it reflected his image.

Immediately, Wang Yu raised its paw and slammed it down hard on the ice!

With a crisp "crack", a large hole was instantly broken in the ice!

The icy water immediately gushed out of the cave and flowed slowly down the ice surface.

Wang Yu quickly took a step back to avoid getting his paws wet with the icy water!

As the water flow at the cave entrance gradually calmed down, Wang Yuyu prepared to lean forward and take a sip when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him!

Tiger Mom walked over quickly, gently pushed him aside, her eyes filled with laughter, and rubbed her head against his neck as if she were being affectionate!

Then he happily went to the entrance of the cave and lowered his head to drink water.

Wang Yu shook his head helplessly, not angry, turned around and walked to the other side, raised his claws again, and broke another hole in the ice.

He had just lowered his head, preparing to take a sip of river water, when his daughter came running over with her short legs, her little eyes looking at him expectantly, clearly wanting a drink too, but too shy to take it from him.

Wang Yuyu's heart softened instantly. She turned to look to the side and saw her son squeezing next to his mother, drinking water in big gulps.

When he turned back, his daughter had already lowered her head and was drinking water from the cave entrance, her little tongue gently licking the cool water, looking incredibly well-behaved.

Wang Yuyu didn't say much, but stayed by her daughter's side and shared a water cave with her!

After drinking the water, the two little ones suddenly became interested, their eyes shining as they looked at the smooth ice surface in front of them.

Eagerly stretching out its little paws, it gently stepped on the ice, testing the thickness of the ice layer!

Wang Yu watched with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection, thinking to herself, "These two little rascals are about to start causing trouble again."

But the tiger mom was startled by this scene and immediately ran over from a distance, stretched out her paws to grab her son's waist, and opened her mouth to bite the back of his neck, trying to drag him back from the ice!

Wang Yuyu shook his head helplessly as he watched this scene, muttering to himself, "The kids are all grown up, and my wife is still so worried!"

But the little guy was at the age where he loved to play, and he wasn't about to be dragged away obediently!

He nimbly twisted his body to avoid Tiger Mom's mouth, and then carefully took a few steps towards the middle of the pool!

As it walked, it probed the ice surface with its paws!

Tiger Mom was extremely anxious on the shore, pacing back and forth, wanting to rush up and pull her son back!

But she was worried that she was too heavy and that if she stepped on it, she would break the ice and her son would fall in with her. So she could only pace anxiously on the shore, growling repeatedly.

The little guy knew that the ice was dangerous, so he didn't dare to go too far into the center of the pool. He just kept walking back and forth a few steps away from the shore!

Every now and then, it would lower its head and tap the ice with its paws, listening to the "thump-thump" sound from the ice, having a great time.

The tiger mom followed closely behind her son!

Just then, taking advantage of the fact that her mother was focused on her younger brother and didn't notice her, the daughter secretly slipped onto the ice and started playing.

Seeing this, the tiger mother became even more anxious, standing on the shore and growling repeatedly at her two cubs: "Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~"

The voice was full of anxiety and warning, signaling them to quickly return to the shore!

But the two little ones completely ignored their mother's urging, exchanged a glance, grinned and chuckled, as if they were deliberately trying to annoy her.

They looked at the center of the pool, feeling both curious and timid. They wanted to go that way, but were afraid that the ice was too thin and dared not cross it, so they could only linger in place!

The little head would occasionally turn to glance at the anxious tiger mom on the shore, its eyes full of cunning!

The tiger mother kept a close eye on them from the shore, carefully observing the movement on the ice, ready to find an opportunity to pull the two little ones back at any moment!

His eyes were full of worry, yet he felt helpless.

The two little ones probably knew that once they got ashore, they would definitely be severely scolded by their tiger mom, and might even get beaten up!

Or perhaps she was genuinely scared and dared not go any further, so she squatted down on the spot, curiously looking at what lay beneath the ice while occasionally glancing back at Tiger Mom to assess the situation!

The two remained deadlocked for a while. The son seemed to dislike his mother's constant presence. Whenever his mother took a step forward, he would move to the other side, always keeping his distance from her, or perhaps he was deliberately teasing her.
