Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

“Hmm, Little Feather is right. Besides seafood, there are also a lot of side dishes. And didn’t we make mackerel dumplings? That’s enough for us.” Xinghe and Tianshu looked at the dishes on the counter and affirmed Li Xingyu’s words.

After considering everyone's actual situation, in addition to seafood, there were two vegetable dishes mainly for Li Xingyu and Qingqi.

Apart from Li Xingyu, who felt a little awkward, the others didn't show any particular expression.

Seeing everyone's indifferent expressions, Li Xingyu quickly realized what was going on:

Previously, everyone drank nutritional liquids or nutritional pastes, but it was only after she arrived that they gradually developed the habit of eating three meals a day.

Ultimately, the time was too short, and interstellar people are easy to feed; as long as the food isn't particularly unpalatable and can provide energy, that's fine.

Although he now has a slight requirement for the taste, it is only that it be better than the nutritional paste that Li Manzhou and the others improved before, which gives Li Xingyu the feeling that he has no requirements at all.

"Then let's take all the dishes out. How late will you be studying this afternoon? Is dinner time the same as before?" Li Xingyu nodded indifferently.

Anyway, it's just one meal without rice. With so much seafood, she won't go hungry.

Everyone looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't wait. Each person took a large plate and quickly brought all the dishes to the table.

"Hmm, this looks really good. Xinghe, your learning ability and skills are simply amazing. Let's eat first." Li Xingyu consciously sat down in the main seat and then picked up a steamed king crab leg for herself.

"Xingyu, would you do me the honor of helping you with the cooking? These shellfish aren't easy to break down." Sitting next to Li Xingyu at noon today were Haoyue and Cain.

Cain looked at the whole king crab leg with only a slight crack on Li Xingyu's plate, and a gentle smile appeared on his wild yet noble face.

Li Xingyu didn't make any arrangements regarding seating; he simply told everyone to sit wherever they wanted. Except when Xinghe and the others insisted that he sit in the main seat, the people around Li Xingyu during each meal were not fixed.

Watching Haoyue crunching a whole king crab with gusto, Li Xingyu looked at her hands, which were red and raw from the shell and thorns on the king crab legs. After hesitating for a moment, she decisively pushed the crab legs in her bowl toward Cain.

What's with the reserve? What's with the social anxiety?

Is it important to have rice?

They were king crabs and mantis shrimps, thicker and longer than her forearm.

No!

“…Thank you for your trouble, Cain.” Although her foodie instincts overcame her social anxiety and reserve, Li Xingyu still thanked Cain somewhat awkwardly, followed by a shy and slightly uneasy smile.

"It's my honor, Xingyu, you don't need to be so polite." Cain's bat wings fluttered slightly, revealing the slightly unsettled mood of its owner.

Cain's hands were beautiful, with skin that was somewhat like pale white skin. His hand shape was the kind of beauty that had distinct knuckles and was full of strength. Even a cracked king crab leg looked like a work of art in his hands.

Li Xingyu was engrossed in watching Cain's hands when, a second later, his pupils suddenly contracted as he watched the other's movements.

What did she see? !

Cain simply peeled off the shells of the king crab legs piece by piece with his bare hands!

Li Xingyu was somewhat dazed until a whole, crystal-clear crab leg appeared in her bowl, bringing her back to her senses.

“…Wow, that’s amazing!” Li Xingyu stared in disbelief at Cain’s calm and collected face, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

She used all her strength to work on that damn king crab leg, but the gaps on it didn't get any bigger. Li Xingyu glanced at the red marks on her hand that hadn't faded yet, and she was full of questions.

'No, wasn't it said that there was no difference in physical fitness between male and female students at the god-level? What's going on here?' Li Xingyu was starting to doubt herself.

Can't you?

Everyone here has realized that eating king crab wasn't this difficult before.

Something's definitely wrong.

"Cough, little star, there's nothing wrong with your strength. You can tell from your usual training process and results."

"The current situation is because forces are mutual. Girls' skin is very different from boys' skin, it's not your problem." Li Xingyu's incredulous expression was easy to understand. Tian Shu, sitting opposite Li Xingyu, barely managed to suppress his laughter and quickly explained to her.

While explaining, Tian Shu secretly praised Li Xingyu in his heart, while also feeling a little regretful.

'Why isn't he sitting next to Li Xingyu today?' This was the unanimous thought of every boy present except Cain.

"Aww..." Li Xingyu felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground again.

However, the truth was that there was no such thing as a crack in the ground in their house, so Li Xingyu picked up the peeled crab meat, didn't even dip it in sauce, and took a big, vicious bite.

The levitating ball that followed Li Xingyu's filming in mid-air above the restaurant flew around like a headless fly, then found a place to stop and remained motionless.

It's obvious why; those poor kids from Interstellar are here to eat virtually again.

"Mmm!" Li Xingyu's initial anger and embarrassment were soothed by the crab meat in her mouth.

It's tender, sweet, and has a slightly textured feel; the texture and taste are simply amazing.

After quickly and gracefully finishing the remaining crab meat, Li Xingyu looked at Cain sitting next to her with bright, excited eyes and a hint of coquettishness in her voice: "Cain, I want more, is that okay?"

“…Ahem, of course.” Cain was stunned by Li Xingyu’s stunning good looks and coquettish charm. After he came to his senses, he agreed while using serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of dishes.

"Hmm... Cain, you should eat some first. I'll try the fish and shellfish first. There's no rush for these." Li Xingyu looked at the crab legs and shrimp in Cain's bowl and felt a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, I'll peel these for you first, then I'll eat mine. Xingyu, don't worry." Cain's already gentle aura softened even more when he heard Li Xingyu's somewhat embarrassed words and hurried tone.

In fact, Li Xingyu had always known that Xinghe and the others deliberately restrained their aura when facing her, which was one of their ways of showing goodwill.

Although the ratio of god-level ability users to mental power users is vastly different, the combined population of these two groups is still less than the population of a single main planet. They are all people who have been exposed to various things and carefully nurtured in their respective homes from a very young age, so how could they all have a gentle and mild demeanor?

Li Xingyu could see through this; she was just slightly socially awkward, not lacking in perception.

In interpersonal relationships, neither one-sided giving nor one-sided taking is desirable. To get along well with others, reciprocity is the right way.

Although Li Xingyu wasn't very proactive due to her personality, he had already taken several steps to get closer to her, so she naturally had to respond when she sensed it.

Otherwise, Li Xingyu wouldn't be in the restaurant now, chatting and laughing with Xinghe and the others while eating, and she wouldn't have accepted the crabs and shrimp that Cain peeled for her.

While the others appeared to be eating attentively, they had actually been exchanging glances and facial expressions for quite some time.

'As expected, Xinghe and Tianshu were right. Xingyu is just shy and reserved; she doesn't dislike them.'

"That's right. When Little Star and I chatted on the StarNet before, it took us a long time to reach the point where we could confide in each other."

We have plenty of time, let's take it slow.

'Ahhh~ Hoshino is so cute, I want to hold her in my arms forever, it must be so comfortable.'

'I like it, I want to hug it.'

'Well, well... um? It seems like something weird has gotten mixed in.'

Li Xingyu was happily eating fish, dumplings, and clams, and after swallowing the fish, she was about to pick up another piece with her chopsticks. Steamed turbot was really delicious.

"Huh? Why are you all staring at Xinghe and Elnis? Is the food not good?" Looking up, she saw everyone's eyes scanning Xinghe and Elnis, and she stopped eating, looking completely bewildered.

"Hehe~ It's nothing. Little Star, do you still want to eat steamed turbot?" Tian Shu squeezed out two words through his teeth, and then his tone immediately softened as he softly asked Li Xingyu what she wanted to eat.

Although you can't serve food directly to Li Xingyu, you can spin the turntable on the table to bring the dishes she wants to her right in front of her.

"Mmm, I like eating this, thank you Tian Shu." Li Xingyu watched the turbot getting closer and closer to her as Tian Shu rotated, completely oblivious to the fact that the topic had been changed.

Li Xingyu had only eaten five dumplings, a quarter of a fish belly, a crab leg, and three shellfish, which was less than half full. Her mind was full of food. As for anything else, she would deal with it after she finished eating.

Li Xingyu doesn't like dining etiquette and such, and there's no need for it now.

Mainly because I've experienced a lot of dining culture in the past, including holidays, family gatherings, team building activities, etc.

That's really enough.

At the dinner table, Li Xingyu was mostly silent, either eating quietly or watching or doing things attentively, her memory and reaction abilities were reduced by almost half.

“Xingyu…please have some. If it’s not enough, just tell me and I’ll peel some more for you.” Although Cain was peeling the shells carefully, he noticed the commotion in everyone’s eyes. He was a little surprised and almost subconsciously added “Your Highness” after Xingyu. He paused for a moment before continuing.

"So much! Thank you for your hard work, Cain. With the dumplings and fish, I'm already full. You should eat up, it tastes great." Li Xingyu was eating the fish seriously when a bowl full of crab and shrimp meat was suddenly pushed towards her. The hand that pushed the bowl was wearing a semi-transparent white glove, which was stained with some oil and seafood juice.

'What a mess! He's such a handsome, wealthy, and powerful family heir, and now he's here peeling shrimp and crabs for me with his bare hands. It's a sin.' Li Xingyu muttered to himself, but without pausing, he took the bowl that Cain pushed towards him.

Complaints aside, we still need to eat. Tomorrow I'll go find Xinghe to discuss whether we can make some crab-eating tools. With the tools, I shouldn't get my hands all oily.

Ah!

Xinghe seems to have finished learning. I'll ask him what his plans are for this afternoon, otherwise he might forget.

Because of the presence of crabs and shrimp, this lunch took longer than ever before.

The number of viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream reached a new high, though of course she didn't know it until she watched it.

Li Xingyu's live stream is among the top in the world, mainly due to her countless talents and unparalleled cooking skills. Every time she goes live, the number of viewers can cause the live stream to lag.

Planets with oceans are now engaged in incredibly busy salvage operations, all because seafood is prepared in such a simple and unpretentious way.

Many of the people who cooked with Li Xingyu before succeeded, but most of them needed to practice more or were simply hopelessly clumsy.

But seafood is different. As long as you follow the recipe exactly, and then set a timer for the robot to watch over it, you can easily steam seafood.

For a time, seafood products were in short supply, but it's unlikely that they'll be eaten to the point of near extinction in the short term.

There are countless planets with oceans, and we are still in the post-war recovery period. Basically, every planet is in a state of desolation with vast land and sparse population.

Rather than worrying about extinction, the problem of overpopulation is much more concerning. Making money from seafood fishing is certainly a good thing.

"Oh? It seems your learning abilities are quite strong too. However, those who catch and sell seafood should also pay attention to sustainable development and avoid disrupting the established food chain." Li Xingyu was already about 80% full and was slowly sipping a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, waiting for Xinghe and the others, and then checking on the situation in her live stream.

[Your Highness, can all seafood be cooked by steaming?]

[Your Highness Xingyu, some marine specialties of this planet, which the quantum brain scan showed are non-toxic, can be prepared using the cooking methods you taught?]

Jiu Shao: [Wow, Xiao Xingyu is so amazing! I heard that chicken is the main dish tonight. Are you interested in the Five-Colored Chicken, which is unique to the Nine-Tailed Fox clan? The meat is especially tender and has a fruity aroma. Li Yue loves it. I'll send it to you now~]

…………

"Hmm... there are so many kinds of seafood, and some of them are from other planets, including ingredients I've never seen before..."

In a moment, I'll make a list and recipes and post them on my StarNet. Everyone can compare them carefully. If it doesn't work, we can use the quantum computers and robots to follow the recipes.

Aunt Jiu Shao, good day. I'm quite interested in these ingredients that I've never seen before. Could you please send me some?

"If it's convenient, please send us more. We'll send you some of the finished products back." Upon hearing the name she had never heard before, Li Xingyu, who had been feeling drowsy from eating, suddenly perked up.
