Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

'Xingyu didn't refute his address, does that mean their relationship has progressed further? I will live well, I will try my best to express my feelings, I'm so happy, I love little feather so much~'

Li Yue was practically glowing with pink bubbles as she went up to the third floor with Li Xingyu to get ready.

Looking at the time displayed on her personal terminal, which showed 11:13, Li Xingyu changed into a knee-length, light yellow dress with ruffled sleeves. The dress had white ruffles on the collar, cuffs, and hem, making her look both gentle and playful.

"Sigh~ Although I do change clothes more often in the summer, isn't changing two sets a day a bit too much?" Li Xingyu put on a pair of beige cloth shoes for herself. Since she was thinking about taking a nap at noon, she simply combed her hair and let it fall down her back before pushing open the door and going downstairs.

"Xinghe, Tianshu, Haoyue, Xiaohei and Baixi, you're all here?" Li Xingyu had just walked into the living room on the first floor when she saw Xinghe and the others sitting on the sofa.

"Little Feather, we figured it was about time, so we came down to prepare lunch." Xinghe and the others immediately made room for Li Xingyu in the middle of their seats, gesturing for her to sit there.

“Okay, so why are you sitting here now?” Li Xingyu sat between Xinghe and Tianshu, and Haoyue and the other two cats and one ball (not really) rushed into her arms, of course, without forgetting to shrink their size.

Li Xingyu's arms couldn't hold two cats that were as long as her arm without their tails. She could tell that Haoyue and Xiaohei were capable of making that judgment.

"It's because Great-Grandma and Grandma got some inspiration from the food you made and are trying to improve the flavor of the nutrient solution and nutrient paste. Grandpa and the others are helping out inside, so they let us come out and play for a while." Tian Shu quietly moved a little closer to Li Xingyu, shortening the distance between them to an arm's length.

"Ah~ Nutritious porridge?" Li Xingyu stopped petting the cat, her face showing rejection and disbelief.

It was the first meal he had here, or at least a nutritious porridge, but its taste was so hard to describe that it left a deep impression on him. Whenever Li Xingyu thought about it, she felt that she could still taste it on her tongue.

'Eh~'

Li Xingyu quickly stopped the thoughts that were spreading in her mind, her face scrunching up a little. Then a question suddenly popped into her head: "Xinghe, can you find out from the robot what the nutritional paste we ate on the morning of June 16th tasted like?"

June 16th was the day Li Xingyu ate her first and last nutritious porridge after transmigrating. She transmigrated the night before, which was the night of June 15th.

Li Xingyu noticed the time on the morning of the second day, because it was the time she had just arrived there, so she remembered it quite well.

Xinghe allows users to directly view the ingredients consumed that day. These records are kept to replenish inventory, so it's not a problem to infer the taste of the nutritious porridge from this information.

Li Xingyu simply wanted to know the name and flavor of that bowl of porridge that had mixed flavors of sauerkraut fish soup, strawberries, milk, bitter melon, and corn, and also had a sour smell.

Besides, weren't Sichuan peppercorns and cumin the first spices she used here? Don't interstellar people use them as perfume ingredients? How did she manage to make that pot of nutritious porridge taste like that?

Li Xingyu could certainly check it, but she found it troublesome because it involved switching between multiple interfaces. She preferred to ask Xinghe directly, as he could check it much faster than she could.

"Hmm... June 16th? Judging from the ingredients consumed, it was strawberry-flavored nutritional paste." Xinghe diverted a bit of her consciousness to check the ingredients used on the morning of June 16th, and after about three seconds of deduction, gave a flavor that left Li Xingyu confused.

"Hmm?...Strawberry flavor...?" Li Xingyu looked somewhat confused.

No, if you're going to make strawberry flavor, just make it! Why add so many weird flavors? The taste is just indescribable! Can't you just make plain strawberry flavor? Or at least add milk? Strawberry milk flavor isn't exactly that...unique, is it?

Do they think that tastes better? Or are they saying they can't make plain strawberry or strawberry milk flavor? That can't be right, don't nutrient solutions come in those two flavors? So they must genuinely think it tastes better.

Li Xingyu expressed that she did not understand, but respected.

In fact, Li Xingyu also had a guess that was correct, because the interstellar community could not make a simple mixture of one or two flavors. She didn't know why, but either the food made was a sticky food without any flavor, or it was a kind of complex and touching flavor, like the one she ate.

However, the main reason was that they had no references. The pots and pans were restored through technical means. As for the fire, they initially used their abilities because the information they could find did not actually specify what kind of fire it was, so they assumed that they were using their abilities.

The journey has been anything but smooth, perhaps because they've invested all their points in their own abilities, technology, and law, leaving none for food and entertainment, and they might even be in debt for some.

"Hmm, now that I know what flavor Great-Grandma and the others are researching this time, I'm actually quite looking forward to it." Tian Shu's expression and tone clearly showed his anticipation.

Although Li Xingyu has started spreading natural food, the situation in the interstellar space is only slightly better than it is now. It has not yet reached the ideal state of peace, and the war is still quite intense. Soldiers do not have much time to spend eating, so their first choice is still nutrient solution and nutrient paste, which are much simpler and more convenient than natural food.

"Hmm... okay, actually I'm also a little curious. Could it be the taste of some of the dishes we've made? Braised pork? Sweet and sour pork ribs?" Upon hearing Tian Shu's words, Li Xingyu's imagination ran wild.

“Corn and ribs are possible, or maybe grilled steak? Or maybe… Now that Little Feather mentioned it, we’ve already made a lot of dishes, and I’m starting to wonder what kind of flavors Great-Grandma and the others are planning to come up with.” Xinghe followed Li Xingyu’s wild ideas and revealed a lot of the food they had already made.

"Gurgle~" x5

Xinghe heard a cacophony of sounds around him. Apart from himself, all the creatures present were emitting signals of wanting to eat, including Baixi, whose source was unknown.

It was almost lunchtime, and because I was worried about Li Xinghua and the others in the morning, I didn't eat much. Besides, high-level interstellar people have excellent physical fitness and their digestive abilities are naturally strong.

They're practically preparing for lunch now, yet they're still enthusiastically reciting the names of the dishes—it's kind of silly of them.

As Xinghe succumbed to hunger, she said, "Why don't we go see how far Great-Grandma and the others are? And ask about lunch today while we're at it."

Li Manzhou and his team began their practical work only after a period of theoretical deduction. They also had a laboratory in their own room, so they may have already figured it out but didn't announce it to the public.

Today's lunch will likely be the final experimental stage for improving the flavor of the nutrient solution and nutrient paste. Different people will taste them, and different data and evaluations will be collected before production can begin or further improvements can be made.

"Okay~" x2. Li Xingyu and Tian Shu's eyes sparkled.

"Meow~ (Okay!)" x2. Haoyue and Xiaohei straightened up without even licking their fur.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (Okay. Let's eat.)" Bai Xi waved her two little tentacles.

The group (only two people, the rest being the two cats and Bai Xi) followed Xinghe towards the restaurant. Haoyue and Xiao Hei were also in their growth period recently, and they couldn't help but want to make their bodies a little bigger so that they would be more comfortable growing.

With Xinghe and Tianshu flanking her on either side, Li Xingyu suddenly remembered Li Yue: "Xinghe...did we forget about Li Yue? Is he still on the third floor? Should we send him a message?"

She originally intended to ask directly, but Li Xingyu was momentarily stunned by Xinghe's somewhat lively emotions. She has been trying her best to adapt to Xinghe's emotions, and it has already begun to show results.

At least Xinghe's emotions don't fluctuate much normally. Li Xingyu has adapted well so far, but sometimes her emotions suddenly surge, which is something she can't fully adapt to right now. After all, there's still a big difference between just awakening and being an adult.

However, inner emotions are not easy to control. This is not like an outward expression that can be concealed. Even the most composed person cannot remain completely unmoved when facing someone they like.

"Hmm, cough cough, I'll send him a message right now and tell him to come to the restaurant to find us." Xinghe nodded. He naturally knew why Li Xingyu had paused for a moment. He understood Li Xingyu's own emotions. He was feeling a little complicated right now, unaware that his ears were already bright red.

"Meow meow meow~ (Great-Grandma~ Grandma~ Grandpa, what delicious food are we having today?)" Haoyue and Xiaohei, taking advantage of their four-wheel drive, wagged their big tails and ran from the living room to the dining room, and then all the way into the kitchen, meowing all the while.

In contrast, Xiao Hei was much more reserved and obedient. It would have been even more convincing if it hadn't run to the kitchen side by side with Hao Yue.

Bai Xi stayed on Hao Yue's back from the very beginning, with her two little tentacles each pulling on two tufts of fur on Hao Yue's back, making "poof" noises incessantly.

All Li Xingyu could hear was Haoyue and Baixi talking about eating, and Xinghe murmuring her name and affection in his heart. The feeling of being split was extremely strong. She felt that her two ears had become two channels, one with "eating" and the other with "like" and "Little Feather".

"Hey~ Haoyue, Xiaohei, Baixi, what are you doing in the kitchen? Are you hungry? Lunch will be ready soon, it's a new flavor of nutrient solution and nutrient paste~" Delas's voice came from the kitchen.

Unless someone takes them, Haoyue and the others won't go into the kitchen on their own. They're afraid of breaking something and then there won't be any good food left.

Moreover, there are still many things in the kitchen that are dangerous for small animals, so it's best to keep your distance.

Li Xingyu tried to relax her mental energy, holding Xinghe's hand in one hand and Tian Shu's hand in the other, and walked through the restaurant into the kitchen.

Seeing that the nutritious porridge in the pot in front of Li Qingyue was almost ready, Delas volunteered to go and call Li Xingyu and the others for lunch.

Who knew that as soon as they turned around, they saw Haoyue and Xiaohei walking towards them, and Baixi on Haoyue's back, which was extremely conspicuous. Who could miss them? The contrast between the colors of the cat and the ball was so obvious.

"Meow meow meow~ (Grandpa, we came with Xingxing and the others. We're a little hungry. When can we eat?)" Haoyue meowed at Delas, but alas...

"Hmm...what? Right, I can't understand what you're saying. Hmm? Little Feather, you guys are here too? What did Haoyue say just now?" Delas looked at Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi with a confused expression.

Delas couldn't understand the cat's speech, nor could he understand Bai Xi's speech, but because he was facing the kitchen door, he immediately saw Li Xingyu, Xinghe, and Tian Shu walking in from outside.

"Ahem, Grandpa~ We came with Xingxing and the others. We're a little hungry. When can we eat?" Li Xingyu looked at Delas's confused expression, which then turned into happiness upon seeing them. Her mischievousness kicked in. She cleared her throat and changed her voice to the one she had just heard Haoyue say, repeating what she had just heard.

Because of his young age, Haoyue's voice is childlike but has a clear, youthful quality, easily conjuring up an image in people's minds that is somewhere between a cub and a boy, and a sweet one at that.

"Oh~ I see. Dinner will be ready in five minutes. I'll have to trouble Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi to wait a bit. Little Feather, is that Haoyue's voice you heard? So cute." Delas bent down and patted Haoyue and Xiaohei's heads. They were fluffy and felt really nice. Then he tapped Baixi's head with his fingertip (?).

Delas said the last sentence while looking at Li Xingyu. After speaking, he patted Haoyue's head with a gentle and kind expression. He had seen Li Xingyu change her voice to tease Li Xinghua before, so he was not surprised by her change in voice and quickly realized that Li Xingyu's current voice was the same voice Haoyue had heard in her ears.

"Well, actually Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi are about my age now, and they're still growing, so their voices are naturally similar to boys my age," Li Xingyu nodded and explained.
