Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

'Little Feather loves fluff so much, but I bet her tail is just like Grandma Manzhou, Grandma Qingyue, Aunt Shihan, and Sister Xinghua's—a bald scorpion tail, without a single hair.' Li Qingshi felt sorry for Li Xingyu because she didn't have a fluffy tail, and then flicked his own tail into Li Xingyu's arms.

Li Xingyu, thinking that since the fluffy creature was already in his arms, would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't pet it, stroked Li Qingshi's snow-white wolf tail a couple of times, and then released Li Qingshi's tail from his arms under Li Yue's somewhat accusing gaze.

Because of their positions, only Li Xingyu saw Li Yue's expression. No one else present, including Li Xingyu's floating ball, noticed it. So when they saw Li Xingyu stroke it a couple of times and then let go, they were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything.

"We're heading back now. Xinghe and I will discuss the ingredients we need on the way, and we'll also let Grandpa and Brother-in-law Yinlian know if they've started cooking yet." Li Xingyu smiled at Li Yue and then brought up her personal computer screen.

Group chat [A Loving Family]:

Little Feather: [@Grandpa Shi, have you started preparing dinner yet?]

Qin Fengshi: [We were just about to start, is there something you need, Little Feather?]

Yinlian: [We're in the kitchen right now. Little Feather, do you have any new ideas?]

Yinlian and the others were just about to cook when they received a message from Li Xingyu, which immediately piqued their interest.

Little Feather: [Ah~ We picked a lot of lotus flowers, leaves, and seedpods from the pond. We've already prepared them and plan to use them to make something delicious.]

Little Feather: [At noon, when I was taking a walk with Xinghe, Tianshu, and Liyue, we ran into Uncle Xile and Brother Qingshi. They helped us a lot, so we're planning to invite them home for lunch.]

Qin Fengshi: [Okay, then when we cook, we'll include the amount for both of them. Are you on your way back now?]

Qin Fengshi replied to Li Xingyu, then added a few more cups to the rice he was about to wash. If Li Xingyu's message arrived two minutes late, or if he didn't read it, they would have to cook another pot.

"Alright, we can go back now." Li Xingyu closed the chat interface and turned to the others.

The group didn't speak, but nodded to Li Xingyu and began packing up their things. Many of the ingredients they had just processed were unusable, so they either took them with them or put them in the recycling station set up next to the lotus pond.

Li Xile and the others did not let Li Xingyu participate in packing. Instead, they did it themselves, letting Li Xingyu, Li Yue, and Tian Shu watch them pack. Li Yue stuffed her big tail into Li Xingyu's arms and let her pet it as she pleased.

Since Li Xingyu and his two companions are all short-armed and short-legged, even if they were to deal with the situation together, the speed wouldn't be very fast. It would be better to let the taller ones handle it.

They quickly cleaned up the garbage from processing the ingredients, and the six of them took a shortcut back to the Li family's ancestral home.

"We're back~" Li Xingyu walked into the house carrying a bunch of lotus flowers.

When they left the lotus pond, they picked a lot of fresh lotus flowers and lotus pods. They planned to grow the lotus flowers in water and eat the fresh lotus seeds directly from the lotus pods. They would also place them in some places at home, which would be pleasing to the eye.

"Little Feather, take the ingredients to the kitchen. Li Yue and I will process the lotus flowers and lotus pods we brought back and put them on the table." Xinghe placed the lotus flowers in her hand on the coffee table and took the lotus flowers from Li Xingyu's arms.

They carried the lotus flowers they brought back in their arms as they walked back, not because there wasn't a better way, but because they enjoyed the process.

"Alright, then thank you Xinghe and Liyue for your trouble. Wait a moment, I'll make something delicious, you should like it." Li Xingyu patted Xinghe's shoulder, then ruffled Liyue's big tail, and led Li Xile, Li Qingshi, and Tian Shu towards the kitchen.

"Grandpa, we're back. What dishes are you planning to prepare tonight?" Li Xingyu walked into the kitchen, approached Qin Fengshi, and looked curiously at the chicken feet that he had already prepared.

"Little Feather, you're back! Tonight we're planning to make braised whole fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised lion's head meatballs, braised pig's trotters, chicken feet with soybeans, shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried beef, beer-braised duck, cucumber salad, stir-fried amaranth, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried water spinach, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and lotus root and pork rib soup." Qin Fengshi put the chicken feet in the pot to blanch, then turned to answer Li Xingyu's question.

"Wow~ I want to add a few dishes~ Fried lotus leaves, fried lotus flowers, and lotus-flavored pork knuckle. We already have a lot of dishes tonight, so I'll just add these three. We can try the rest later." Li Xingyu was amazed when she heard the names of the dishes Qin Feng had mentioned, and then decided on dishes related to lotus flowers and lotus leaves for tonight.

"Okay, are the ingredients ready? Do you need our help?" Qin Fengshi turned around and saw Li Xile and Li Qingshi watching them cook with curiosity.

"Xile, are you here to help too? Qingshi, long time no see. How have you been lately? How are your studies going? Are they going smoothly?" Qin Fengshi greeted the two of them, and then nodded to Tian Shu.

Qin Fengshi saw Li Xile every few days, since they were both in the same area, and he wasn't the type to like staying at home. He only saw Li Qingshi occasionally on holidays, so Qin Fengshi couldn't help but ask him a few more questions.

“Yes, I came with Xiao Yu Mao to take a look and help her out.” Li Xi Le nodded as she looked at Qin Feng, her expression showing respect and joy.

In the hearts of the Li family, the members of the main family are generally strong, rational, and approachable. They protect the development of the Li family and all members of the Li family. They are not aloof and they usually get along like ordinary family members.

Therefore, almost all members of the Li family show respect to the host family, and feel the same way.

As for joy, you'll definitely be happy when a powerful elder in your family speaks to you.

"Hey, Grandpa Qin, long time no see! I hope your studies are going well and your abilities are steadily improving. I'm here to help Feather Sister cook." Li Qingshi scratched his short, gray hair and smiled brightly.

"Okay, then I'll leave Xiaoyu's place to you." Qin Fengshi was multitasking, keeping an eye on the chicken feet in the pot. Once he noticed the water was boiling, he nodded to Li Xingyu and the others, telling them to find a place to cook.

When they saw Qin Feng, they were all busy with their own things in an orderly manner. Li Xingyu and the others found a few pots that they didn't use, and the four of them also started their own work. Li Xingyu mainly did the talking, while Li Xile, Li Qingshi and Tian Shu did the cooking.

It wasn't that Li Xingyu didn't want to help, but rather that she basically didn't need to lift a finger. They each took charge of one dish and finished distributing the ingredients themselves. All she needed to do was remind them of the precautions and the cooking time.

When Li Xingyu and the others returned, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, but the three dishes they made did not take too long, and were all finished within an hour.

Around 7:30 p.m., most of the other dishes were finished, with only a few dishes that would take longer to prepare, but they were all in the final stages of preparation.

"Hehe, this is our dinner tonight. What's yours?" After finishing their dishes, Li Xingyu didn't leave the kitchen. Instead, she strolled around the area where they were still cooking, offering reminders from time to time.

Li Xingyu also glanced at the comments in her live stream, which were filled with shouts of "It's delicious!" and childish boasting.

However, Li Xingyu was very happy to see them doing it. It was good that they could follow along, and it brought them one step closer to being able to eat out.

Yin Lian and the others studied very diligently. They not only took notes on their personal computers, but also took out their own notebooks and wrote furiously on them. Li Xingyu moved closer to Miles, who was closest to him, and glanced at his notebook.

Miles glanced at Li Xingyu, recognized her, and moved his notebook closer to her so she could see it better. He teased her, "Little Feather~ you've got quite a few steps in your cooking, huh? But it tastes really good~"

While teasing Li Xingyu, Miles used one hand to ruffle her hair, his expression full of affection.

As a demon, Miles is one of the few who can cook, which is hard to believe given his appearance alone.

The man was 2.2 meters tall, with a roguishly handsome appearance, black pupils, and medium-length black wolf-tail hair. He had two black bull-horn-shaped horns on his head, and a black inverted triangular tail swayed leisurely behind him. He was dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes in dark colors.

Anyone who glances at him would think he's a ruler sitting on a throne, treating life like ants, rather than a stay-at-home husband in the kitchen, holding a spatula in one hand and a pen in the other, writing down recipes in a small notebook held up by his tail.

"Wow~ Brother-in-law Miles, are you all this serious?" Li Xingyu couldn't help but exclaim after seeing what Miles had written in his notebook.

Every recipe is meticulously detailed, from the processing of raw materials to the steps, the amount of seasonings added, the heat of the pot, and the cooking time. The seasonings are measured precisely down to the gram.

“That’s right, this is what Huahua likes to eat, so we definitely have to study hard! Speaking of being serious, you’re even more serious.” Miles tucked his tail back, looked at his own notes, and couldn’t help but praise Li Xingyu.

I don't know how Little Feather's brain works, but these ingredients can be processed in this way, and then, through different cooking methods, they can be transformed into such delicious food.

Li Xingyu had no idea what Miles was thinking. He walked over to Yin Lian and Ling Meng and glanced at their notebooks. Although the handwriting and style were different, they were both very detailed.

"Alright, everything's fine. Just follow this recipe, and it won't taste bad." Li Xingyu gave her opinion after looking at the recipe from the three-person diary.

Li Xingyu didn't just look at the recipes in Yin Lian's Three Regiments out of curiosity. Please, those were the dishes her dear older sister was going to eat. How could she feel at ease without looking at the recipes?

"If I come up with any new recipes, I'll let you know." Li Xingyu walked to the kitchen counter and turned to look at Yin Lian and the others.

This separation will mean at least three to five years without seeing each other. Take Li Xinghua's estimate with a grain of salt; the actual time will definitely be much longer than they anticipate. However, they should be able to communicate occasionally during that time.

"Okay, then we'll trouble you, Little Feather. We'll send you a message when communication is possible." Yin Lian, who was closest to Li Xingyu, looked at her gently and couldn't help but pat her head.

After chatting for a while in the kitchen, the last few dishes were ready to be served.

"Dinner is ready. Little Feather, go to your craft room and call Lost. He's probably still embroidering inside." Qin Fengshi told Yin Lian and the others to finish up the food that wasn't ready yet, put it on plates, and then take it to the dining room outside.

Qin Fengshi also knew that Lost had recently become obsessed with embroidery, so he asked Li Xingyu to call him over so that he could also give him some pointers.

"Okay." Li Xingyu knew Qin Fengshi's plan, so she responded and walked outside.

When Li Xingyu walked into the living room, she saw Xinghe and Li Yue grooming Li Yue's nine fluffy and somewhat long tails.

"What are you doing?" Li Xingyu stopped beside the two of them, watching their actions with curiosity, her hands itching to stroke their furry hands.

"When I put the vase down just now, I accidentally got it a little wet, and it's a little tangled. Let me help you comb it." Xinghe answered Li Xingyu's question. He was holding a small wooden comb and combing the fur of the raccoon moon's tail from the root to the tip.

Li Yue, standing next to Xinghe, nodded in agreement, and then took a small wooden comb and began combing her other tail.

"Do you need my help?" Li Xingyu tilted her head, watching the two's movements, and reached out her hand towards one of Tanuki Moon's tails.

Li Xingyu had almost forgotten what she was originally going to do, and was happily stroking Li Yue's fluffy fox tail.

"Little Feather, what brings you to the living room at this hour?" Xinghe asked casually as she combed the last bit of tail fur in her hand.

"Ah! I'm going to call Father Lost for dinner." Li Xingyu's mind cleared from the furry body, and she finally remembered what she was supposed to do.

"Then go call Uncle Lost now. You can pet my tail however you like." Li Yue finished grooming the tail in her hand and whispered to Li Xingyu, her ears turning bright red.

Xinghe stroked Li Yue's shiny, glossy tail, looking at the two of them with a gentle yet meaningful gaze.

"Alright, I'll go call Lost's father first. You guys need to get ready for dinner too." Li Xingyu let go of the big tail in her hand, said a few more words to Xinghe and Liyue, and then went upstairs.

When Li Xingyu returned to her room, she found Lost in the craft room. He was almost finished with his embroidery, so she sat on the beanbag chair and waited for a while.

“Dad Lost, you have a great learning ability. In such a short time, you’ve basically learned all the techniques. All that’s left is to practice.” Li Xingyu smiled and winked at Lost when she saw him looking in her direction.
