Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Oh, I see. They're still little cubs. Come on, let's go to the restaurant and wait. Grandpa will serve our little cubs soon." Delas nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood. Then he bent down and picked up Haoyue and Xiaohei with one hand, one on each side.

As Delas bent down, Bai Xi jumped onto his shoulder and nuzzled his neck, saying, "Bubu~ (Okay, thank you, Grandpa. Grandpa is so nice.)"

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa." Li Xingyu took on the role of translator very conscientiously, imitating Bai Xi's voice to translate before Delas even turned his attention to her.

“…Oh, I see. Little Bai Xi, no need to be so polite. Let’s go, let’s go to the restaurant and wait.” Upon hearing Li Xingyu’s translation, Delas was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a translator. He smiled and nodded to Li Xingyu and the other two. Then, with Haoyue and Xiao Hei in his arms and Bai Xi on his shoulders, he led them to the restaurant.

When Li Xingyu is alone with one of her grandfathers or fathers, she usually calls them "Grandpa" or "Dad". When there are two or more grandfathers or fathers, she will add their names or surnames to address them.

So Delas only reacted a moment ago, partly because of Li Xingyu's way of addressing her, and partly because of her voice.

Li Xingyu, Xinghe, and Tian Shu exchanged a glance and followed Delas out of the kitchen. Of course, they didn't forget to greet everyone in the kitchen.

After the group left the kitchen, they sat on chairs in the dining room and chatted for a while. Then, Li Yue, who had received messages from Li Xingyu, Xinghe, and Tian Shu, arrived.

"Li Yue, come over here?" Li Xingyu and the others chose to sit wherever was closest to the kitchen. They pulled out chairs and sat down, which happened to be a spot directly facing the restaurant entrance. They looked up and saw Li Yue walking towards the restaurant, and waved to her.

"Grandpa Deras, Little Feather, Xinghe, Tian Shu, ah~ and Haoyue, Xiao Hei and Bai Xi, good afternoon." Li Yue went back to her room to change her clothes, wash up, and adjust her mood. Then she received a message from Li Xingyu and the others, turned off her personal terminal, and went downstairs.

Li Yue looks pretty good now. Her eyes are bright and sparkling. Apart from a little redness around her eyes, there's nothing else wrong with her. This morning, she was surrounded by an aura of sadness and sorrow.

Haoyue and Xiaohei had a good impression of Liyue, whom they had spent a short morning with, and liked to stick close to him. When they heard Liyue's voice and greetings, they responded with meows.

Li Yue petted Hao Yue and Xiao Hei, then sat down in the empty seat next to Xing He: "Was today's lunch prepared by Grandpa Hu Yu and the others?"

As both belong to the canid family, the nine-tailed fox and the red fox have quite a lot in common, so Fox Yu gets along quite well with the two nine-tailed foxes, Silver Stream and Tanuki Moon.

"Well, based on the natural food we reconstructed, Great-Grandma and Grandma have developed new flavors of nutrient solution and nutrient paste. Today at noon, we're going to taste and study these new flavors of nutrient solution and nutrient paste to see if there are any problems." Xinghe answered Li Yue's question with a smile, and Li Yue's big tail came closer to him.

"Hmm? I see. Are Great-Grandma and Grandma still improving the flavor of the nutrient solution and nutrient paste?" Li Yue was confused for a moment after Xinghe grabbed one of her tails before answering Xinghe.

Tanuki Moon's emotions were quite volatile this morning; her tail and ears were sticking out. When she changed clothes, she just subconsciously chose a more convenient outfit and didn't realize the problem at all.

Now that Xinghe had stroked her tail, Li Yue seemed to be awakened. The confusion and slight dazedness on her face disappeared, which made Li Xingyu and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

The people in the living room noticed Li Yue's slightly dazed expression and were wondering what to do when Xinghe simply stroked his tail and solved the problem.

Xinghe was also stunned for a moment. He hadn't even uttered the prepared remarks in his mind when the problem was solved by himself. The feeling was quite subtle. He subconsciously rubbed his hands a couple more times to let himself process it: "Hmm... we were just discussing whether it might be the taste of a certain dish. We were a little excited and curious."

Now that the problem is solved, there's nothing to worry about anymore. Xinghe smiled and brought up a topic, his hands never stopping for a second as he skillfully and smoothly stroked Tanuki Moon's tail.

Tian Shu and Xing He exchanged a glance, and unsurprisingly, they saw understanding in each other's eyes: 'Just now, Li Yue called out to Little Feather, right? That's great. It seems Little Feather/Little Star is finally able to open up a little.'

Although Xinghe and Tianshu both hoped that Li Xingyu would have a close relationship with them, being close only to the two of them would also bring some minor troubles, and it would not be good for Li Xingyu's mental health. Being too socially anxious is not a good thing and can easily lead to some psychological problems.

Moreover, Xinghe and Tianshu have great confidence in themselves and Li Xingyu. They believe in their own excellence and Li Xingyu's character and personality, and that there will be no estrangement or favoritism in the future. This is the answer they have obtained after being confident in themselves and getting to know Li Xingyu.

This was also to prepare for the arrival of Che, Yufinar and Cain two days later. After all, they all knew that Li Xingyu didn't like to be around strangers. Li Yue's situation was a special one, and it took Li Xingyu quite a while to get used to it.

Generally, when visiting someone's home, you only need to inform them one day in advance. However, some long-established families will inform you two or three days in advance.

There are two main reasons for giving two to three days' notice in advance:

One reason is what Cain mentioned to Li Xingyu last night: he was worried about disrupting the other person's daily plans. Therefore, this visit wouldn't be a pleasant experience for either party, because the plans were ruined, and the host's mood was certainly not good. People always have high expectations for plans that haven't been implemented yet, and entertaining guests in such a mood is not a good choice. No one wants to be treated by a host in a bad mood when visiting someone's home.

Another point is to adjust the schedules and arrangements for both yourself and the other party. This also allows the host to prepare, since no guest wants to arrive without a meal; such a situation is awkward for both sides.

There are also smaller aspects such as etiquette and attitude.

However, giving advance notice does convey respect. Saying "I will be visiting your home at such and such a time" allows the host to prepare for the visit, showing respect to both parties.

Actually, this matter was decided a long time ago, but a specific date was not set because of the distance. After all, it would take some time to finalize the list of guardians.

The Li family already knew that Che, Yufinar and Cain were coming here, because their invitations were sent to Xinghe around the same time that Li Xingyu received the news.

In the morning, while Li Xingyu and Li Yue were in the living room, Xinghe pulled Tian Shu aside and told Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue about it. The first arrival of the guardians would be taken very seriously, especially since some of the guardians' parents or other family members would accompany them, which also served as a kind of assessment.

After all, aren't the family's young children precious? If they have to leave home for so long and so far, their families will definitely worry about them.

Even though some are over 100 or 200 years old, so what? Aren't they still not adults? As long as they are not adults, they are all considered cubs.

"Alright, the new flavored nutrient solution and nutrient paste are ready. We can get ready to eat." Li Xingyu and the others were excitedly discussing what flavor the nutrient solution and nutrient paste would taste when Li Manzhou's voice came from beside them.

The people in the restaurant turned around and saw Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue walking towards them, followed by Ryan and Qin Fengshi carrying trays, and Hu Yu carrying a bowl.

The tray contained test tubes, each about the length of Li Xingyu's little finger, filled with colorful liquids, and a white porcelain basin, which was estimated to be about 30 centimeters in diameter, with a spoon inside.

"Hifer, Rice, and Zian are finishing up some notes. Let's wait for them. I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to the new flavors of our nutrient solution and nutrient paste." Qin Fengshi placed the tray on the table and smiled at Li Xingyu and Xinghe, who were looking at them with curiosity.

"Okay~ Come, come, great-grandmothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, please sit down. We're so curious about what the new flavor is." When Li Xingyu heard Qin Feng's words, her eyes kept glancing at the nutrient solution and nutrient paste on the table. Then she successfully saw the light pink, viscous substance in the basin, just like the prepared lotus root starch.

Li Xingyu subtly shrank back. What did she see? This nutritious paste looked exactly like the one she had eaten the first time. Not believing it, she smelled it, and even the smell was the same.

That's right, the bowl of nutritious porridge on the dining table looks and smells exactly the same as the bowl of devilishly delicious nutritious porridge that Li Xingyu ate the second morning after transmigrating!

Li Xingyu immediately backed down, suppressing her curiosity and even considering whether to drink a few more vials of nutrient solution: "Why is this nutrient paste exactly the same as the previous one?"

The impression that the nutritious porridge had left on Li Xingyu was so deep that the mixed smell of that bowl of nutritious porridge was still lingering in her mind, and the impression was even getting stronger.

Li Xingyu felt that she would remember that devilish taste for the rest of her life. No amount of delicious food could make up for the trauma it caused. She really felt that her tongue and taste buds were going to break.

"Oh, because this flavor still has strawberry notes, and the pink one looks prettier. Little Feather, don't worry, this nutritious porridge tastes much better than last time. We've already tried it." Seeing Li Xingyu's repulsive expression, Li Qingyue covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

While they were chatting, Xifeier and the others had finished taking notes, came out of the kitchen, nodded to Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue, and then found seats to sit down.

Then everyone started eating lunch, with two vials of nutrient solution per person. Because each vial of nutrient solution had a different flavor, and considering that there were many flavors, the amount of nutrient solution was very small.

To be fully fed normally, one needs at least 60 ml of regular nutrient solution. The nutrient solution that Li Manzhou and his team prepared this time was less than half the normal amount, only about 25 ml per serving. After all, they filled it manually, so the accuracy wasn't that high.

Li Xingyu looked at the light brown and light gray nutrient solution in her hand with some curiosity. She had never seen these two colors before. What flavor would they be?

For Li Xingyu, the nutrient solution was just something with a slightly unusual taste and a texture similar to rice porridge, which she could accept. So she opened the stopper of the test tube containing the light brown liquid without any hesitation.

Li Xingyu cautiously took a sniff first, and smelled a very faint aroma of braised pork. She then took a small lick and confirmed that it was indeed a nutrient solution that smelled like braised pork.

Well, the taste is fine, just a bit bland, and the texture is a little off. Overall, it's alright.

Then Li Xingyu put the test tube back on the table, picked up the tube of light gray nutrient solution, smelled it, "Achoo~" such a strong cumin smell, could it be a barbecue-flavored nutrient solution?

Li Xingyu took a small sip and was somewhat surprised. It tasted like cumin lamb. No wonder it had such a strong cumin flavor. After smacking her lips, Li Xingyu drank the light gray nutrient solution in her hand in one gulp.

"Hmm, I'm about 80% full now," Li Xingyu said, putting the test tube down. Then a bowl of light pink, translucent paste appeared in front of her.

When Li Xingyu looked up, she saw Qin Feng smiling expectantly and encouragingly. He had even thoughtfully filled a third of the smallest bowl for her, with a small spoon inside. It couldn't be more considerate.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Li Xingyu looked at Qin Fengshi with a deathly smile and received a pat on the head from Qin Fengshi. He was sitting next to Tian Shu, separated from Li Xingyu by one Tian Shu, but he could still easily pat Li Xingyu's head.

Looking at the pale pink, translucent paste in the small bowl, Li Xingyu was conflicted. Should she try it again? After all, Li Qingyue had said that the taste had been improved and it shouldn't be too bad. At least she could accept the braised pork and cumin lamb flavored nutrient solutions.

Li Xingyu didn't use a spoon to scoop the nutrient paste; instead, she picked up the spoon and carefully, tentatively, took a small lick.
