Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Mom, who are the dads who came back today?" Li Xingyu asked, looking at her mother who was glancing around.

"Ah? Oh, Chen, Ajin, and Xiao'er are back. They're chatting in the living room now." When Li Shihan heard Li Xingyu speak, her attention immediately turned to her, and her tone was indescribably excited.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad. Mom, is there anything you'd like to eat? You can only order for a limited time~" Seeing Li Shihhan's expression of wanting praise, Li Xingyu turned around, hugged her waist, and rubbed against her stomach.

The main problem is that Li Xingyu can only get to this place right now, well, I'm talking about the face.

"Oh~ Is this even possible? But what dishes are available for lunch today?" Li Shihhan hugged Li Xingyu back, her tail swishing involuntarily, and her hand gently stroking Li Xingyu's head.

"...That's all. Is there anything else you'd like to eat, Mom?" Li Xingyu recited the names of the dishes for lunch again, looking up at Li Shihhan's... um... pointed chin.

"Little Feather's lunch today is very plentiful, and there are some dishes that I like. It's a pity that this time-limited ordering may not be useful." Li Shihan naturally knew that when Li Xingyu was with people she didn't know very well, she could make food of almost every flavor, so there was nothing she wanted to eat.

"Okay, that's a pity. Let's make a dessert then. Mom, do you want to join us?" Li Xingyu let go of Li Shihan's arm and returned to the clean pot.

"Is that okay? What does Little Feather need me to do?" Li Shihhan had originally planned to spend more time with Little Feather and see if she could help in any way.

Hearing Li Xingyu's words, Li Shihan looked expectant and eager to try.

"Can Mom help me get six ears of corn from the storage room? I'll teach you how to make corn fritters later." Li Xingyu smiled at Li Shihhan and asked her to get the ingredients first.

Since there was no dessert service originally, and there was a dedicated storage room, the kitchen naturally didn't have a special place to store ingredients.

Anyway, the storage room is right in the kitchen, so it's not a big problem. And if all else fails, there's always a robot.

“Okay, I know that. I made it with your Xiao Er’s dad before, but the taste was much worse than yours. But it was still very delicious.” Li Shihhan said to Li Xingyu as she walked towards the storage room.

Xinghe and the other two greeted Li Shihan when she entered the kitchen, and then went about their own business.

After all, Li Shihhan's goal was obvious: Li Xingyu. Moreover, the other party was the master of this house, so they didn't need to do anything else.

Li Xingyu and the others still divided the cooking tasks. They would first prepare all the ingredients together, and then each person would be responsible for a few dishes. This made it a little more convenient and faster.

Because she had to keep an eye on the other three people from time to time, Li Xingyu wasn't given many dishes.

This was something that Xinghe, Tian Shu, and You Fei Naer strongly requested when Li Xingyu made the arrangements, mainly because she was still a little apprehensive.

Although they usually cook for their family and the food is generally well-received, they always compare themselves to Li Xingyu. So when faced with such a lavish meal for welcoming guests, they still feel somewhat insecure.

It's like you sometimes cook, but you're not really sure what your cooking skills are like, so you don't take the initiative to cook when you have guests at home.

The dishes that Li Xingyu arranged for herself all required time or were not easy to master; the dish just now was the first one to come out of the pot.

However, the other dishes are already in the pot, and it's still early, not even 11:30 yet, so we don't need to use the time accelerator. Otherwise, it will always feel like something is missing when we eat it.

Li Xingyu glanced at the food in the pot, then strolled over to check on Xinghe, Tian Shu, and You Feinar.

There's no need to worry too much about Xinghe and Tianshu. After all, aside from their learning speed and talent, they've been learning for the longest time, and Li Xingyu is most at ease with them in their culinary studies.

After watching the two for a while, Li Xingyu found that they were doing quite well, smiled and praised them a few times, encouraging them, and then walked over to Yu Fennar.

"Wow~ Nar's cooking skills are quite good too, he's improved a lot. You've really changed a lot in just a few days." Li Xingyu observed Yufei Nar cooking for a while and nodded affirmatively.

"Really? Thank you, Little Feather. It's mainly because you and Xinghe are so amazing, otherwise my cooking skills wouldn't be this good now." Hearing Li Xingyu's words, Yu Fenal's little wings almost couldn't help but appear behind him and flap a couple of times.

Eugene had the feeling that his teacher was standing next to him during an exam, and although he didn't do anything, he still felt an uncontrollable nervousness.

"Hmm, Nar is very talented, I have high hopes for you!" Li Xingyu patted Yufinar on the shoulder, then returned to the pot where she was stewing vegetables. It was almost time to add some seasonings.

"Little Feather, I brought the corn back. This should be enough, right?" Li Xingyu was adding water to the stew pot when Li Shihan's cheerful voice came from the doorway of the storage room.

Li Xingyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Shihan walking towards her carrying a basket of sweet corn.

“Yes, that’s enough. Next, we need to shell the corn. We can have the robot do that, which will save us a lot of trouble.” Li Xingyu glanced at the corn that Li Shihhan had taken and nodded with a smile.

"Okay~ I know these procedures, it's just that my cooking skills aren't as good as yours, hehe." Li Shihhan replied, feeling inexplicably embarrassed in front of her daughter who rarely spent time alone with her.

"Then I'll tell you my secret recipe in a bit. I guarantee that if you follow this, the taste won't be any different." Li Xingyu was naturally familiar with Li Shihhan's reaction.

After all, Li Xingyu and her family had been in similar situations before, including herself.

'Heh~ Is this what they call a second chance at life?' Li Xingyu thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile. 'But before, my family didn't have mouths, well, they didn't have mouths that could speak properly.'

"Okay, I'll go prepare the corn first. Little Feather, you go ahead and do your own thing." Hearing Li Xingyu's words, Li Shihan, who was a little uncomfortable at first, immediately became happy and carried the corn to the kitchen counter.

Because of her keen sensitivity to emotions, Li Xingyu can always quickly and clearly understand the meaning behind what the other person says or does, but she is not very good at... or rather, she doesn't know how or in what way to respond to the other person.

After choosing to follow her heart, Li Xingyu began to explore and imitate step by step, figuring out how to solve the problem and imitating how others dealt with similar issues.

It might seem a little uncomfortable and difficult for others, but it suits Li Xingyu very well.

After checking the food in the pot, Li Xingyu set an alarm and went to the kitchen counter to find Li Shihhan.

"Little Feather, have you finished cooking?" Li Shihhan looked at Li Xingyu beside her, put down the corn cob she had just shelled, and looked a little puzzled.

"Not yet. These dishes I made still need some time to cook. I'll let them simmer on their own. I've set the alarm." Li Xingyu picked up an ear of corn, peeled the kernels, and shook her head at Li Shihhan.

"Is that so? Can I say that you truly live up to your nickname 'Little Feather'? You're amazing. How are you feeling in your spiritual sea now?" Li Shihan also picked up an ear of corn and continued peeling the kernels. Her expression seemed nonchalant, but in reality, her eyes were like X-rays, scrutinizing Li Xingyu from head to toe.

"It's okay, I feel pretty good, it's just that I can't help wanting to get close to people, like just now." Li Xingyu paused in peeling corn kernels, then shook her head and continued peeling, her voice getting softer and softer.

As a bookworm who has read countless books, Li Xingyu is well aware of the importance and necessity of having a long mouth, which can help her avoid a lot of trouble, and... get along relatively harmoniously with people.

"Oh, I see. There's no need to worry. Things will get better in a while." Li Shihhan subtly moved closer to Li Xingyu, her tone sounding somewhat regretful and disappointed.

"........."

Over here, Li Xingyu and Li Shihhan were chatting in a harmonious atmosphere.

the other side.

"Grandpa Qin, Uncle Mo, Uncle Fu, Uncle Siweier, Li Yue, Che, Cain, this is a gift for you. Please take care of me in the future." Qingqi exchanged glances with Michael and Elnis.

Then, without prior arrangement, the three of them simultaneously took out a bunch of gift boxes from their respective storage spaces and placed them on the coffee table.

The three packages, each with its own unique characteristics and style, were still presented in a distinctive way. After expressing their gratitude, Qin Fengshi and the others accepted the gifts that belonged to themselves, Li Manzhou, and Li Qingyue.

Everyone received a gift, but the gifts for those who weren't home were kept and will be given to them later. The wrapping paper clearly states who the gift is for, so there's no risk of confusion.

"These are gifts for you to meet us. You can also consider this place your home from now on. Feel free to contact us if you need anything." Qin Fengshi also took out a bunch of gifts from his storage space and gave them to Qingqi and the other two according to their different packaging.

Mo Lichen and the others did the same thing.

This exchange of gifts has happened twice this month:

One time it was Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Li Yue; another time it was You Fenar, Che, and Cain.

The former was because the people were at the Li family's ancestral home at the time. Although there was no formal process at the entrance, it was just that there was no entrance; everything else was the same.

After exchanging gifts, Qin Feng and the others continued chatting.

After exchanging a few words with Qin Feng at the beginning, Qingqi and the others joined up with Liyue and the others.

Qin Fengshi's thoughtfulness made Qingqi and the others feel much more relaxed and at ease.

It wasn't that Qingqi, Michael, and Elnis didn't want to chat with Qin Feng and the others, but they couldn't help feeling uneasy and nervous if they kept talking to their elders.

"Hey~ are you going to wait until after dinner or when you're cleaning the room this afternoon to get Little Star's gift?" Tian Shu was putting a silver-purple wrapped gift into his storage space while chatting with Elnis next to him.

"It should be after I finished tidying up the room. I'm really looking forward to seeing my clay figurine. This is the first gift I've received from a woman other than my family since I became an adult." Elnis replied to Tian Shu with a bright smile, scratching the back of his head.

Qingqi and Michael nodded in agreement next to Liyue.

Xinghe and the others had already shared a general outline of the arrangements after arriving at the Li family when Yufinar and the others came here, so Qingqi and the others still have some understanding of the Li family.

"........."

"Little Feather, this is the last step. This recipe is amazing! I can already smell the sweet aroma of the corn fritters." Li Shihhan watched Li Xingyu's movements intently, her eyes sparkling.

"Ahem, Mom, it's normal, it's normal. I made extra. You can store it in your storage space so you can enjoy my cooking more often." Li Xingyu clapped her hands happily, making a crisp "slap~" sound.

"Aww~ I knew Little Feather was the best! Don't worry, Little Feather, my sister and I have been looking forward to your arrival." Li Shihan moved the corn in her hand to a different spot, but that didn't stop her from snuggling with someone.

"Well, next is..."

The corn fritter lesson continued, and Li Shih-Han held Li Xing-Yu tightly in her arms, her expression a mixture of secret joy and satisfaction.

Li Xingyu naturally noticed Li Shihhan's actions. She wasn't a rag doll; how could she not sense anything?

it is just……

Li Shih-Han clearly knew what Li Xing-Yu was thinking and had no intention of letting go.

Just kidding, how could I possibly let go of my own adorable daughter who's so easy to hold?

"Okay, Mom, my soup and meat are almost ready, and the corn fritters are done too. Can we go call Grandpa and the others to get ready for dinner?" Li Xingyu patted Li Shihan's arm.

"Okay, Little Feather, it feels like you've coaxed me?" Li Shihhan's voice was soft and weak. Li Xingyu didn't hear anything, but she felt like Li Shihhan had said something.

"Huh? Mom, what were you saying just now?" Li Xingyu tilted her head curiously and looked at Li Shihhan.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I'll go right away." Li Shihan coughed awkwardly twice, patted Li Xingyu's head, and then walked out of the kitchen.

"This is weird, never mind, ah, it smells so good!" Li Xingyu shrugged, found the pot of stewed meat and soup, lifted the lid of the stewed meat pot, and couldn't help but take a breath.

Li Shihhan walked into the living room, where Qin Fengshi and the others were still chatting, but the atmosphere was noticeably more harmonious, and Qingqi and the others were much more at ease.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Shih-Han went to the kitchen.

After all, if she's the only woman there, the atmosphere will always feel strange, and both of them will feel uncomfortable. It would be better to go find Little Feather to get closer.
