Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 153 The 153th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Uh... Little Feather, what's wrong?" Allentas hesitated for a moment before asking, noticing Li Xingyu's somewhat frozen expression and increasingly slow speech.

"We forgot about the herbs after we collected them. Herbs need to be processed to have better effects. We kept them in our storage space and completely forgot about them." Li Xingyu covered her face with both hands, this time even covering her eyes.

No wonder I've felt like I've forgotten something several times, but I just can't remember it.

Li Xingyu buried her head in Elentas's arms. She remembered that she was wearing a dress today and couldn't just squat down on the ground casually.

"It's alright, we can deal with it tomorrow. Anyway, it's all in the storage space, so it's no different from when it was just picked. Okay, we've arrived." Allentas patted Li Xingyu on the back. He was the one who led Li Xingyu to their destination, and Li Xingyu had been acting like a quail the whole time.

"Oh, take about ten, around fifteen should be enough. These tomatoes look pretty big, they should taste pretty good too." Li Xingyu watched as Elentas took some into the basket and counted them.

“Okay.” Elentas nodded in agreement, took five or six tomatoes from the basket, looked at the ones in the basket, and then looked at the rest in the basket.

Elentas paused for a moment, then put the basket on the ground, picked it up, and poured all the tomatoes into it.

Perhaps it's because Li Xingyu doesn't like tomatoes; there are very few tomato-related items in the Li family.

Of course, this is only in comparison to other vegetables; it doesn't mean it won't appear, but rather that it appears at a similar frequency as bitter melon.

"Alright, we can go back to the kitchen now. We don't need many ingredients today, so the two of us can just focus on the tomatoes." Elentas put the basket back, picked up the basket on the ground, and called out to Li Xingyu, who was still a bit withdrawn.

"Oh, let's go back to the kitchen then. Maybe the others have already gathered the ingredients they're responsible for." Li Xingyu patted her cheeks, wondering why she had forgotten something like this.

'Could it be that my previous memories have affected me? I already have the skills given to me by the main system, so why am I still forgetting some things?' Li Xingyu complained to herself as she followed Allentas toward the door of the storage room.

"That's because Xiao Xingyu didn't specifically try to remember these things, just like your mild face blindness and difficulty remembering names." Qingyao's voice rang in Li Xingyu's mind.

"Actually, Xiao Xingyu's two symptoms have improved a lot thanks to the skills given by the main system. Xiao Xingyu has probably felt it too. But skills and auras are more of an enhancement; they don't fundamentally change a person's body." Han Qing continued, following Qing Yao's words.

"Yes, just like martial arts and voice, skills only give you that part of the memory and understanding. Don't we also have proficiency? That's specially set up to help people master skills. Martial arts only gives you the moves and the purpose; the real power and performance still depend on your physical condition and the environment at the time." Qingyao's voice rang in Li Xingyu's mind again.

"Oh, okay, at least it's much better than before. You have to learn to be content, otherwise you'll easily end up with nothing." Li Xingyu nodded to herself, indicating that she understood, after hearing Qingyao and Hanqing's words.

Li Xingyu is an easily satisfied person, and her memory is indeed better than before, and she knows more things, which is already quite good. She would find it strange if she knew more.

Because her memory wasn't particularly good before, Li Xingyu felt that if it suddenly became very good, she wouldn't be able to adapt, and she would also start to doubt herself and feel alienated.

"Little Xingyu~ Your past world was so interesting! Hanqing and I found so many strange but fascinating things. We'll show them to you tonight. Now, we'll continue looking at the information about your past world. We'll talk again tonight. Just call us by our names if you need anything." Qingyao's beautiful, clear voice was filled with joyful excitement.

"Okay, Qingyao, Hanqing, let's talk tonight." Li Xingyu followed Allentas out of the storage room, answering Qingyao and Hanqing's words in her mind.

Since arriving in this world, Li Xingyu, Qingyao, and Han Qing—no, one person and two systems—have been chatting every night for a while. The topics they discuss are very broad, covering all sorts of things, but surprisingly, they are very harmonious.

Up to now, under normal circumstances, Qingyao and Hanqing's voices rarely appear in Li Xingyu's mind on their own.

Unless Li Xingyu has a problem or calls out the names of the two systems, Qingyao and Hanqing will appear in Li Xingyu's mind. Otherwise, the two systems are engrossed in the data from Li Xingyu's previous world.

Li Xingyu chats with Qingyao and Hanqing every day, so she naturally knows about these things. They haven't deliberately blocked her from their conversations. Sometimes, Li Xingyu receives questions from Qingyao and Hanqing. If she knows, she'll chat with them a little longer.

Li Xingyu refocused her attention; she and Elentas had now arrived at the kitchen counter.

Just as Li Xingyu had expected, Rice and the others had already taken their respective ingredients and were arranging them on the cooking table.

"Oh? Little Feather, Allen, you two are a little slow. We've already got everything ready and are just waiting for you two." Foxy shook his big, fiery red tail, a smile on his face.

"Ah~ We should have been moving at about the same speed, but I just remembered that the herbs that Xinghe, Tianshu, and Liyue picked are still fresh in our storage space. We completely forgot to deal with them, so we were a little delayed." Li Xingyu had already composed herself and explained to the four people looking at her with a troubled expression.

"Oh, is that the time when you, Xinghe, Tianshu, Liyue, and those two kids Xile and Qingshi brought back a lot of lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus pods? I heard Xinghe and Tianshu mention it, and I'm quite interested too. Little Feather, could you call me when you're processing the medicinal herbs?" Rice still had a deep impression of this incident.

The main reason is the herbs in Li Xingyu's mouth. As a healing ability user and a doctor, Rice is genuinely interested in this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered it until now.

Why didn't he ask Li Xingyu? Because he'd been quite busy these past few days, and he noticed Li Xingyu was also quite busy, so he hadn't asked her.

"Yes, that was it. I even watched the live stream and introduced it to everyone, but then I forgot about it after I got home." Li Xingyu nodded in affirmation of Rice, a little annoyed.

"Haha, I was worried that Little Feather might have already taken care of the grass, but I forgot! That's great news." Rice smiled, leaving Li Xingyu looking completely bewildered.

"Huh?" Li Xingyu looked at Rice with a puzzled expression, wondering if this wasn't meant to comfort her.

“This is good news for me. I watched Xiaoyu’s live stream that time, and I wanted to find an opportunity to ask you about those herbs in detail, but I got a bit busy later and didn’t find the opportunity. Grandpa, you thought you had finished processing all the herbs, and you were thinking about whether you should go and pick some more so that Xiaoyu could process them for me to see?” Rice explained cheerfully to Li Xingyu, who looked bewildered.

"Oh, I see. We don't have anything to do for the next few days, so I plan to take advantage of the nice weather to process the herbs we picked. I'll send a message to Grandpa Rice to let you know when that happens." Li Xingyu nodded knowingly, indicating that she would let Rice know.

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Little Feather." Rice nodded in satisfaction, without stopping her work of preparing the ingredients.

While Li Xingyu and Rice were chatting, the other four people were seriously arranging the ingredients, occasionally glancing up at Li Xingyu and Rice.

While chatting with the other party, Li Xingyu and Rice were also helping to prepare the ingredients, which was just the simplest sorting and cutting, and did not require too many precautions.

"Alright, next I'll talk about what we need to pay attention to when preparing these ingredients. Let's do our best for dinner tonight." Li Xingyu told everyone some precautions, gave herself and the others a pep talk, and then walked towards the pot with Hu Yu.

The kitchen on the first floor is bustling with activity as people prepare dinner in a cheerful and lively atmosphere.

In Che's room on the fifth floor, Xinghe and the others' conversation came to an end. They had all learned about each other's basic situations, habits, and personalities, so the conversation concluded perfectly.

"Well... I'll go down to the kitchen on the first floor to check on dinner. I wonder what dishes Little Feather has prepared and how far along she is." Xinghe stood up, nodded to the people on the sofa, and then left Che's room.

"Um... I still have some things to take care of, so I'll head back to my room first. You can come find me if you need anything; you all probably know where my room is." Tian Shu stood up, greeted the four people on the sofa, and walked towards the door.

"Hmm? Little Feather prepared dinner herself? I want to go and see too, I'm going now." Yufinal was already eager to go when she heard that Li Xingyu had prepared dinner.

Yufinal, Che, and Cain already knew about Li Xingyu's relationship with the Star River Chosen One, as well as the reason for Li Xingyu's departure. It has to be said that their feelings were quite complicated.

"Well... is there anything else, Che? If Little Feather prepares dinner himself, we can eat in about an hour. I'd like to go downstairs and take a look too." Li Yue hugged her big tail a little shyly.

The remaining seven tails of the raccoon moon were in Che's arms, and one had just been in Xinghe's arms. Now, the tip of its tail gently rested on Cain's hand, within easy reach.

"Ah~ It feels so good, Li Yue. Can we stay here for another ten minutes? Your tail feels so nice. Can I ask you how you take care of it?" Che hugged Li Yue's tail tightly and wouldn't let go. It was not that he was completely unrelated to Yu this morning; in fact, he was exactly the same. His expression and actions were exactly the same.

"That's...okay too." Tanuki Moon said shyly, her large, empty tail swaying slightly, attracting Cain's attention as he was still hesitating.

"Tanuki, it may be a bit rude of me, but... may I touch your tail?" Cain was a little embarrassed, but he still looked at Tanuki and made his request.

"Yes, but please don't use too much force, and try not to touch it against the direction of contact." Li Yue took the initiative to place the tail that was closest to Cain on the other's outstretched hand.

"Thank you, Tanuki." Cain visibly cheered and moved a little closer to Tanuki.

Che, Li Yue, and Cain stayed in Che's room for 15 minutes before coming downstairs.

"Little Feather? Is dinner ready?" Xinghe and Yufinal walked into the kitchen together. The two were initially stunned by the aroma coming from the kitchen before they saw the dishes that had already been prepared on the counter.

'Sure enough, no matter how many times I smell it, I'm always captivated by the aroma of the food made by the little feathers.' Xinghe and Youfinal exchanged a glance, predictably seeing enjoyment and amazement in each other's eyes.

"Oh, it's Xinghe and Youfinal! There weren't many dishes today, and it was just me and Grandpa Huyu who made them. Grandpa Rice and the others were helping out, so it was pretty quick." Li Xingyu had her back to the kitchen door, but when she heard the voice, she turned around and saw Xinghe and Youfinal walking towards her. She gave them a smile.

"Little Feather, why are you all alone here? Didn't you say that Grandpa Fox and Grandpa Rice were helping out? Did they have something to do and leave first?" Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu alone in the kitchen and was a little puzzled.

"Ah~yes, why is Little Feather all alone here? Where are the grandfathers? And... um... General Elentas? And Uncle Lost?" Yufinal tilted his head, his watery red eyes scanning the kitchen, then sniffed, with the same confusion as Xinghe.

"Oh~ Grandpa Rice, Grandpa Fox Yu, and Grandpa Si Zi'an received some message on their personal computers and then went back to their rooms. Dad Allentas and Dad Lost received a phone call and then left as well." Li Xingyu recalled the situation just now and said to Xinghe and Yu Fenal.

Just as Li Xingyu and the others finished preparing the food and adjusted the time stop device, Rice and the others' personal computers started beeping.

For a moment, several songs echoed in the kitchen, because they had all set the songs Li Xingyu had sent out as their ringtones.

Then one by one, they would check the message, say hello to her, and leave, chatting as they went, before returning a little while later.

Li Xingyu stood there for a moment, thinking about what could be so urgent, but couldn't figure it out. Just as she was about to leave the kitchen, she heard Xinghe's voice before she even turned around.
