Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 185 The 185th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

'Pfft~ Little Xingyu, how can you be so cute?' Qingyao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Han Qing, standing next to Qing Yao, saw her smiling happily and simply looked at her with affection without saying a word.

Qingyao and Hanqing have been by each other's side since birth, never separated for a long time. Their tacit understanding goes without saying, and their affection is incredibly deep. The two systems naturally established a relationship.

However, in order to let Li Xingyu get used to it, he did not explain the relationship between the two to her. Anyway, it didn't matter whether she knew or not.

However, during the limited time they spent together, Li Xingyu had some guesses, and when she received Qingyao and Hanqing's design drawings this morning, these guesses were confirmed.

However, it's a good thing for Li Xingyu that Qingyao and Hanqing have a good relationship. As for what kind of relationship it is, friends, family, lovers... as long as they are not adversaries, it's fine.

In any case, the Time Management Bureau's privacy protection is not only for the host, but also for the system.

Li Xingyu wasn't worried about encountering anything embarrassing.

A short while later, Li Xingyu arrived at the storage room in the kitchen. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two somewhat familiar figures.

"Huh? Xinghe? Tianshu? What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be doing some kind of lesson?" Li Xingyu was somewhat surprised to see Xinghe and Tianshu looking over because of the noise she made.

Yes, Xinghe and Tianshu, who should have been studying in the study, appeared in the kitchen storage room.

"Hehe, Little Feather, have you forgotten that Tian Shu and I are special?" Xinghe noticed the surprise in Li Xingyu's tone, chuckled softly, and slowly explained to her.

Tian Shu nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on Li Xingyu without ever leaving her.

"Oh, right, it's mainly because we're together every day, and you guys haven't really shown it, so you've just overlooked it over time." Hearing Xinghe's words, Li Xingyu belatedly realized what was going on and answered Xinghe somewhat embarrassedly.

Xinghe and Tianshu were formed into human form only after the intelligent system cultivated their consciousness. As for things on the Star Network, they only need to interpret the relevant data to store their memories on their own, without needing to see them with their eyes.

"Yes, so we figured it was about time, so we decided to come down and see if we could lend you a hand or something," Tian Shu and Xing He said as they walked toward Li Xingyu.

“Okay, let’s see what ingredients we have. We got some new ones this morning, right?” Li Xingyu looked at the two people walking towards her and subtly lowered her eyes slightly.

Seeing Li Xingyu's reaction, Xinghe and Tianshu exchanged a glance, predictably seeing helplessness and "as expected" in each other's eyes.

“Little Feather, even though we haven’t met face-to-face before, you’ve known me and Tian Shu for so long, are you still not used to us?” Xinghe said with a hint of helplessness as he walked up to Li Xingyu and half-squatted down to look at her.

Tian Shu stood to the side and behind Xing He, his gaze fixed intently on Li Xing Yu. He frowned slightly, his expression showing worry, but more so, concern.

"Yeah, there are just too many people." Li Xingyu cheered herself up in her heart, looking directly into Xinghe's eyes, which were filled with concern and worry, her voice soft.

As soon as the levitating ball entered the storage room, Li Xingyu directed it to take pictures in a place far away from them, so now no other creature besides the three of them could hear their conversation.

Although Li Xingyu has been trying her best to face Xinghe and the others recently, some subconscious reactions are beyond her control, and she doesn't expect to be able to hide them from others.

After all, those expectant and curious gazes would occasionally sweep over her, and it wasn't just one person.

Li Xingyu was well aware of his acting skills, and besides, he never intended to hide them.

It's good that Xinghe asked the question; now she doesn't have to think about when to find a time to talk to Xinghe and the others.

Because in those eyes that occasionally brushed past her, besides curiosity and expectation, there had recently been a lot more disappointment and self-doubt.

Problems need to be addressed and not ignored, but Li Xingyu is currently unable to communicate with Xinghe and the others calmly and smoothly.

Li Xingyu has never been a proactive person; in fact, she is somewhat introverted and quiet. However, she will try her best to overcome this and express her true thoughts to those who care about her.

Because she knows that conveying her true thoughts to those who care about her through words is the best thing she can do for herself and others.

A long mouth is for speaking, isn't it?

"I see. But this is something Little Feather needs to work hard to overcome. We will always be by your side." Hearing Li Xingyu's weak but earnest voice, Xinghe couldn't help but pull her into his arms, stroking her soft, long hair with one hand.

Li Xingyu was startled by Xinghe's actions. He instinctively raised his hand to push him away, but after a moment of stiffness, he didn't use force and simply placed his hand lightly on Xinghe's shoulder.

"Yes, thank you, Xinghe." Li Xingyu rested her forehead against Xinghe's collarbone and replied in a muffled voice.

"Oh dear, little feather, have you forgotten what we agreed on? That's really sad." Xinghe's tone suddenly changed upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, and she gently patted the back of Li Xingyu's head.

"Ugh! Xinghe!...I haven't forgotten, but I want to say it now." Li Xingyu was already leaning to one side, relying entirely on her forehead, waist, and legs for support. Xinghe's sudden force made her bury her entire face in Xinghe's chest.

Well, it's worth mentioning that Xinghe changed her style of dress slightly today. She wore a loose black V-neck T-shirt, which showed off her entire collarbone.

Li Xingyu felt the firm curve below her cheek and the smooth, delicate touch of her skin, and her face flushed red instantly. She pushed Xinghe away forcefully.

Xinghe released her grip without moving an inch, following Li Xingyu's force, and squatted down, smiling as she watched Li Xingyu take a few steps back.

"Oh, little feather is so cute, but so shy." "I want to hug her a little longer, it's such a wonderful feeling."

Hearing Xinghe's regret, Li Xingyu's already round eyes widened even more, and she called out to Xinghe with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "Xinghe!"

"Hmm~ Little Feather, what's wrong?" Hearing Li Xingyu's somewhat exasperated voice, Xinghe's expression was both innocent and puzzled, but her clear and cold eyes were full of gentle smiles.

Li Xingyu is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. If you're stubborn, she'll be even more stubborn than you. If you're assertive, she'll ignore you. But if you talk to her gently and softly, even if she doesn't like or agrees with something, she'll be tactful and considerate.

If you act cute and charming with her, especially if she's good-looking, she'll likely succumb to it 80% of the time. As long as it's not a matter of principle, she'll give in to that person 50% of the time.

This is the case now.

Seeing Xinghe's expression and her detailed and passionate thoughts, Li Xingyu couldn't bear it at all, but her tone still carried a hint of grievance: "I know, I will try my best to adjust."

"Yes, our little star is so outstanding and capable, and dares to face problems head-on. We will wait for you, little star. Just do things at your own pace." Tian Shu stepped forward and gently patted Li Xingyu's head, his tone as if he were coaxing a child, incredibly gentle.

"Okay, okay, don't keep touching my head, it'll stunt your growth." Li Xingyu took Tian Shu's hand off her head, gently pulled his wrist, but her grip tightened for a moment.

Tian Shu was wearing short sleeves today, and no jewelry on his wrists. Li Xingyu was able to touch his fair and delicate skin without any hindrance, and could faintly feel his strong and regular pulse.

After realizing what was happening, Li Xingyu's hand holding Tian Shu trembled slightly, and she slowly loosened her grip. Just as she was about to let go completely, Tian Shu grabbed her hand back.

Li Xingyu...

Li Xingyu wanted to find a place to go and calm down. Sob sob sob. This was the first time she had ever been held hand by a member of the opposite sex who wasn't her family, and there was such a big person squatting in front of her. She felt a little embarrassed.

His breathing unconsciously slowed down, and Li Xingyu tried to compose himself. Then, he looked up and met Xinghe's gentle, subtle smile... and heard his own intense, unspoken thoughts:

'I want to hold Little Feather's hand too.' 'Little Feather and Tian Shu look quite pleasing to the eye holding hands like that; it would be even better if I were included.' 'Tian Shu is right, that's what we all think. Little Feather, take your time.'

As Li Xingyu listened to Xinghe's heartfelt words, from her initial aggrieved tone to her later gentle words, she pulled Tian Shu towards him.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go check out the new ingredients that arrived today." Li Xingyu spread out her other hand in front of Xinghe, who was still half-squatting.

"Okay, let's go, this way." Xinghe placed her hand in Li Xingyu's hand, took the hand she offered, stood up, and led Li Xingyu and Tian Shu deeper into the storage room.

"Hey, mantis shrimp? They're pretty sturdy!" Li Xingyu raised an eyebrow in surprise as she looked at the lively mantis shrimp in the tank.

Apart from merfolk and some omnivorous races, most people in the interstellar world do not eat river or seafood because they do not know how to prepare them.

After arriving here, Li Xingyu didn't pay much attention to anything. He would just buy a copy of any new ingredients he saw on the StarNet to study, which is why he made steamed sea bass on the first day.

After Li Xingyu taught how to process river and seafood, many people tried to do so according to her methods. After getting the same results as Li Xingyu's live stream, all sorts of ingredients appeared on the StarNet.

Anyway, the computer has a built-in scanner, so it can tell whether something is poisonous in an instant. Even if you don't know what the substance is called, the fact that it is harmless to the body will appear in the scan results.

The Li family ancestral home will also make additional purchases based on the available ingredients. Basically, all the foods that have appeared on the StarNet can be found here, but they will be simply categorized, such as: edible for humans, unique to vampires, favorite of merfolk, and so on.

The scale of procurement had already increased considerably before Li Yue and the others arrived, and it expanded even further after their arrival.

However, Li Xingyu doesn't often wander around the kitchen's storage room. When she does come in, she goes straight to her destination, takes what she needs, and leaves.

So, looking at the row of water tanks in front of him, Li Xingyu was a little surprised, but after seeing the familiar and unfamiliar creatures inside, he was even happier.

"Is this called Mantis Shrimp? What a strange name." Tian Shu looked at the oddly shaped creature in the tank, observed it with some doubt, and then came to a conclusion, "Hmm, really ugly."

"But it's delicious. How about we make it into salt and pepper mantis shrimp later?" Li Xingyu looked at the mantis shrimp, which was thicker and longer than her arm, and her mouth was almost dripping with suspicious water.

I've eaten mantis shrimp before, but I've never seen one this big. It looks like it has a lot of meat. *slurp*

“Okay, Little Star, would you like to look at some other seafood? Little Star probably hasn’t had a proper tour of this place yet. Anyway, we still have time, so how about you look around?” Tian Shu listened to the names of the dishes that Li Xingyu had listed, and then glanced at the mantis shrimp in the tank. He nodded, his interest immediately piqued.

There are at least a hundred water tanks here. If you watch them for a while, you might just be able to eat them at noon. Little Star's cooking skills are truly amazing.

"Little Feather, how many of these mantis shrimp do you want?" Xinghe called over a robot, turned to ask Li Xingyu, whose gaze had already shifted elsewhere, and gently shook the two's still-holding hands.

"Huh? How many are there in total? Twenty or so? You can only eat the meat under the shell of these mantis shrimps, and they don't really fill you up." Li Xingyu looked at the mantis shrimps in the tank and hesitated for a moment.

"Okay, then take them all. Have the robot put them in the kitchen, and we'll go over and process them later." After giving the robot the instructions, Xinghe followed Li Xingyu and Tian Shu down to the water tank.

"By the way, are there any of you who don't eat river or seafood?" Li Xingyu asked Xinghe, looking at the rows of water tanks in front of her.

"Hmm...no, so far, we haven't had any dietary restrictions." Xinghe quickly recalled everyone's information after hearing Li Xingyu's question, and shook his head.

"How about we have a seafood feast for lunch today?" Li Xingyu looked at the king crabs in the tank, which were baring their claws at her, and her expression became excited.

As if sensing danger, the box of king crabs in the tank next to Li Xingyu and the others suddenly stopped moving.

"Huh? Sure, but do we have to cook all this seafood?" Xinghe paused for a moment after hearing Li Xingyu's words before answering, her gaze fixed on the neatly arranged water tanks.
