Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Wang Yuyu's face grew darker and darker as she listened, and she looked at Uncle Zhang resentfully, "Grandpa, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Nobody will think you're mute!"

"Are you praising me, or praising me?"

"I have a chill down my spine, like someone's eyeing my tiger-skin coat..."

When Uncle Zhang was young, he also went into the mountains with hunters to hunt tigers. He saw many tiger skins collected by hunters and heard how those hunters boasted about how good their tiger skins were and how big their tigers were.

Upon seeing Wang Yuyu, he instinctively blurted out the words those hunters used to boast about their spoils.

So Wang Yuyu's feeling was correct; Uncle Zhang wasn't commenting on him, but rather on the tiger-skin coat he was wearing.

Fortunately, Wang Yuyu and Uncle Zhang's awkward conversation didn't last long, as Tang Li rushed over and interrupted their conversation.

Tang Li immediately noticed Wang Yuyu's impatient look and, fearing he might suddenly lash out and hurt someone, quickly pushed Uncle Zhang towards the security room, saying as she did so:

"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work. It's so cold outside, you should come inside and warm up!"

"I'll take care of this, I'll make sure you get your job secure. You should go in now..."

Uncle Zhang, still somewhat reluctant, glanced at Wang Yuyu one last time before reluctantly heading towards the security room. "Hey, Xiao Tang, no need to help me. I'm not so old that I can't walk!"

"Don't worry about me, go check out your secure job, I don't need you here!"

"As people get older, they become more talkative. It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying conversation..."

Uncle Zhang shook off Tang Li, shook his head, and walked into the security room by himself.

Tang Li chuckled at Uncle Zhang's expression, then quickly covered her mouth, afraid that Uncle Zhang would hear her.

Tang Li glanced at the security room, then turned and walked towards the iron gate, opened it, and went straight out.

Outside the door, as soon as Wang Yu saw Tang Li, he immediately stood up and rushed towards her.

Tang Li quickly gathered her strength, got into position, and steadily caught Wang Yuyu's embrace.

Wang Yu rested his face on Tang Li's shoulder, nuzzling her head repeatedly, "Tang Li, I missed you so much!"

"What delicious food did you prepare for me this time!"

"I want to eat venison!"

"It's so cold today, I can't stand it, I need to eat something nourishing!"

"Look at me, I've lost so much weight these past few days!"

"The mountains are no place for tigers. I couldn't eat or sleep well, and my life was so miserable, boohoo..."

Wang Yuyu could make up lies without batting an eye.

Of course, it's also possible that the fur is too thick to be seen at all.

Tang Li couldn't understand Wang Yuyu's tiger language, but she could still sense Wang Yuyu's coquettishness from her tone.

She touched the back of Wang Yuyu's neck with one hand and gently patted his back with the other, comforting him, "Alright, alright, stop rubbing against me!"

"Get down right now! Don't you know how much you weigh?"

"I can barely hold you anymore, please get down..."

Wang Yuyu rubbed against Tang Li a couple more times before obediently getting off her.

But he didn't give up trying to please Tang Li. He walked up to Tang Li's legs and kept rubbing against her thigh.

Tang Li smiled, gently patted the tiger's head, and then closed the iron gate.

"Let's go, let's go to the cabin!"

Tang Li strode towards the cabin, and Wang Yu followed closely beside her, never leaving her side.

"Hey, don't stick so close! I'm not going to run away! How am I supposed to walk like this!" Tang Li pushed Hu Tou away and complained with a smile.

Wang Yu shook her head, then pressed herself against him again, "Ouch~ No, I just want to be close to you! I haven't seen you in so long, aren't you allowing me to show you some affection?"

"You're sticking too close, can you leave some space?"

"Ouch~ No!"

"Get away!"

"Ouch~ I don't want that! I want to stick even tighter!"

"..."

The two, a human and a tiger, laughed and frolicked on the snow. When Tang Li pushed them away, Wang Yu clung to her even tighter.

In the end, Wang Yu simply crawled between Tang Li's legs from behind and lifted her up.

Tang Li smiled and walked half-riding, happily arriving at the small wooden house.

Sitting on the floor by the door, Tang Li gently stroked the big tiger head lying on her lap, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"You seem to have gained weight again! Your face looks much fuller!"

As she spoke, Tang Li gently grabbed a handful of meat and found that it felt completely different; there was more meat now.

Before, when you grabbed a handful, you could only get a small amount of meat; your hand wouldn't even be full.

Now, after one go, my hand is full, and there's still some left.

"Wow, a secure job? What have you been eating? How did you get so fat?"

"You're not going to try to reach 900 pounds, are you?"

"Ouch~ Get lost! You're the one who's gotten fat, your whole family has gotten fat! I've just gotten thicker fur! Thicker fur, do you understand?"

Wang Yuyu growled in dissatisfaction, looked up at Tang Li, and rolled her eyes.

Seemingly still not satisfied, Wang Yuyu suddenly lunged forward and lightly headbutted Tang Li in the stomach.

Of course, this "gentle" feeling was relative to Wang Yuyu; Tang Li's actual experience was a semi-impact, like a meteorite hitting the Earth.

In an instant, Tang Li cried out in pain, her entire face contorted in agony from the pain in her abdomen.

Then, she slowly pressed her upper body down on the tiger's head, and Tang Li finally felt a little better.

After a while, Tang Li regained some strength, raised her hand, grabbed Wang Yuyu's tiger ear and twisted it hard, whispering, "Iron rice bowl, are you trying to kill me?"

"I've been so good to you, and you're so cruel to me? Don't you want to eat meat anymore?"

"If I hadn't been empty, I probably would have thrown up..."

Wang Yuyu had long realized that he had caused trouble and hurt Tang Li, so he guiltily lay on Tang Li's lap, closed his eyes, and pretended to be dead.

No matter how much Tang Li scolded or did anything to him, he didn't react at all!

After venting her frustrations, Tang Li felt much better. She slowly straightened up and gently rubbed her stomach to relieve the pain.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu was still pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, Tang Li would have thought he had fallen asleep if it weren't for his tiger ears twitching from time to time.

Tang Li suddenly laughed as she watched. She spread her legs slightly apart, revealing a gap for one hand, and then reached in to scratch Wang Yuyu's chin.

The meat there is soft and juicy, and it feels the best to touch.

With Tang Li using her professional techniques, Wang Yuyu could no longer pretend to be dead; it was just too comfortable.

Under Tang Li's caresses, Wang Yuyu half-closed his eyes, his tiger head seemingly losing all strength in the comfort, completely resting on Tang Li's hands, moving with her movements.

Its tail wasn't idle either, wriggling even faster on the ground.

One of its hind legs was kicking off the ground, as if its entire body was excited by Tang Li's touch.

"You think you can't handle me?"

"Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep it up!"

Tang Li saw this and laughed even harder, squeezing her hands with even more force.

The tiger skin was so thick that Wang Yuyu barely felt anything without putting in some effort.

Therefore, being a tiger keeper is a physically demanding job!

It's not just about worrying; you also have to do high-intensity physical work all day long. People with poor physical fitness can't do this.
