Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tiger Mom had her back to her older sister, so she naturally couldn't see her little tricks.

But his younger brother saw everything clearly, which made him even angrier, and his resentment and anger grew stronger.

"Damn it, why does Mom only scold me and not my sister?"

"Just because I'm a little older than my sister?"

"That's so unfair!"

The younger brother was furious. He mustered his courage, raised his tiger head, and waved his little paws at his tiger mother.

The little guy was really angry this time; he actually dared to fight back against his mother.

Tiger Mom was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her son to dare to defy her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But she reacted very quickly, raising her claws to intercept all of her son's attacks.

At the same time, she also took a moment from her busy schedule to launch a subtle counterattack.

The huge tiger paw gently patted the son's face, making him face reality.

That slap instantly extinguished the anger in the younger brother's heart.

He could tell that Tiger Mom was genuinely angry, and he instantly chickened out.

The force of its claws weakened, landing lightly on the tiger mother's neck and chest, as if it were just tickling her.

Seeing this, the tiger mom gently slapped her son's neck.

The little guy's raised upper body immediately fell back down.

He huddled up, nervously watching Tiger Mom.

As she backed away, she sobbed softly, admitting her mistake and begging for forgiveness.

Seeing that her son had completely cowered, the tiger mom stopped growling, lowered her body, and looked at her son with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

In this brief "battle," Tiger Mom ultimately prevailed!

The two little ones finally behaved themselves.

Tiger Mom stood between the two little ones, looking at her son and then at her daughter.

The older sister, lying on the ground, immediately flashed a fawning smile when she saw her mother looking over, as if to say, "Mommy, look how well-behaved I am! I didn't cause any trouble!"

Seeing his sister's hypocritical act, the younger brother gritted his teeth in anger, silently cursing, "Shameless! Unscrupulous!"

"Wait until Mom leaves, then I'll teach you a lesson and show you what I'm capable of!"

The elder sister seemed to have read through his thoughts, and glanced at the younger brother secretly and provocatively, "Come on! If you dare to hit me, I will call my mother to come and beat you. My mother likes me the most!"

Then he turned his head and focused his attention on Tiger Mom, looking obedient and sensible.

Tiger Mom glanced at her daughter briefly before turning her attention back to her son.

She stepped forward and gently licked her son's head.

The younger brother received a caress from his tiger mom, instantly forgetting his earlier grievances and anger, and immediately became happy.

While nuzzling her mother, she glanced smugly at her older sister, her eyes full of defiance: "Hmph, no matter how much you try to please Mom, it's no use. Mom still loves me the most!"

"Look, Mommy's licking my fur!"

Seeing this, the older sister bared her teeth at her younger brother in anger, then turned her head away, refusing to look at the scene that was making Tiger sad!

After a while, Tiger Mom looked at her angry daughter, walked over and licked her too!

"Aww~ We're gone!"

The little guy turned his head and immediately showed a bright smile. He followed his mother around happily, rubbing against her leg every now and then. He was well-behaved and clingy!

But the younger brother next to him was unhappy, puffing out his cheeks and looking aggrieved.

Just moments ago, his mother was only focused on him, only caring about him, but now she's turning to comfort his sister. A strong sense of jealousy welled up inside him.

What upset him even more was that when Tiger Mom left, she only called him "sister" and didn't say goodbye at all, as if he didn't exist.

Seeing the tiger mom's tail swaying gently behind her, the younger brother's jealousy turned into a little temper.

He lunged forward and bit the tiger mother's tail.

Tiger Mom felt a sudden weight on her tail, paused, turned around, and saw her son throwing a tantrum. Her eyes were full of helplessness.

He didn't say much, but simply continued walking slowly forward with his daughter beside him.

The younger brother, with his tiger head tilted to the side, bit his mother's tail and followed closely behind.

Its head would twitch every now and then, as if it were using the tiger mom's tail as a fun cat toy.

Upon reaching the ice, the younger brother slipped, lost his balance, and fell onto the ice with a "plop," whimpering in pain.

Even so, he did not give up and continued to bite the tiger mother's tail tightly.

It was as if if he let go, his mother would abandon him completely.

But when the younger brother fell, it pulled on the tiger mother's tail, and she felt a pain and immediately became unhappy.

She stopped, turned around, and growled threateningly at her younger brother a few times: "Awoo~"

Seeing that his mother was angry, the little guy immediately opened his mouth, pressed his ears tightly against his head, revealing his airplane ears.

It lay obediently on the ice, not daring to move.

The older sister, standing next to the tiger mom, watched her younger brother being scolded by their mother and smirked with schadenfreude.

She even winked at her younger brother, as if to say, "Serves you right for being naughty; you got scolded by Mom!"

But the next second, Tiger Mom turned around and growled at her gloating daughter, "Awooo~ What are you looking at? You're the same! Behave yourself!"

"You two are both troublemakers!"

After scolding the two cubs, the tiger mother ignored them, flicked her tail, and stormed off.

I found the sunniest spot, closed my eyes, and basked in the sun—out of sight, out of mind.

The two cubs watched their mother's departing figure, then looked at each other, their faces filled with grievance.

They watched their mother tiger lying in the sun from afar, and their hearts stirred with longing to go closer, to be with their mother, to snuggle up to her, and to enjoy her caresses.

But they also knew that the tiger mother was still angry and had no idea what she was thinking. They hesitated to go forward, afraid that they might accidentally provoke her whiskers and get scolded by their mother again.

The older sister turned her head and looked at her younger brother beside her, clearly wanting him to be a stepping stone and test the waters with Tiger Mom first!

But the younger brother still remembered his sister's hypocritical face, and his anger hadn't subsided. He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and completely ignored his sister.

Her eyes were fixed on Tiger Mom not far away, her little mind racing, trying to figure out how to break the deadlock and appease her mother so she would allow her to come closer.

Seeing that she couldn't get her younger brother to do anything, the older sister didn't force him any further, and reluctantly looked away, no longer looking at him.

She also imitated her younger brother, staring at Tiger Mom with her little brows furrowed, seriously thinking about a solution.

After a while, the older sister couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stay with her mother, snuggling and rubbing against her!

She kept pacing in place, her little paws making soft, crunching sounds on the ice. The whole tiger seemed restless, glancing at its mother every now and then with longing in its eyes.
