Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Her storage space contained many strange and unusual items that Li Xingyu discovered had special uses for. She found them while tidying up this morning and even organized them into categories.

Li Xingyu took out a slightly larger table from her spatial storage. Estimating that Xinghe and Tianshu wouldn't be back for a while, she started preparing a large bowl of marinade for the rabbit meat.

Sugar, salt, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon, star anise water, and chili powder (bought from Qingyao and Hanqing) are mixed together in a ratio of 2:1:4:1:3:1.

Alright, that's about it. Now we just need to wait for Xinghe and the others to have their rabbit meat.

Prepare the scallions, ginger, and garlic in a 3:1:1 ratio.

Li Xingyu looked at the banana she was playing with in her hand and couldn't help but exclaim, "Why isn't there any wine?"

There's no cooking wine here, let alone beer, rice wine, yellow wine, baijiu, or wine, which limits Li Xingyu's cooking options.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (What is wine? Is it something to eat? Is it as delicious as sweet fruit?)"

Suddenly, a "chirp chirp" sound came from above Li Xingyu's head. She looked up and exclaimed, "Wow~ So pretty, so cute!"

What came into Li Xingyu's view was a small golden monkey with a sky-blue face, golden fur, big, shiny black eyes, and an upturned nose...

However, the other party was clearly a minor. Li Xingyu could sense its message. If it were an adult, it would have a message like Cong Qian's.

It's an indescribable feeling, something that can only be understood intuitively, because it can't be expressed in words. You can tell at a glance whether the other person is an adult or not.

The other person was a tiny bamboo shoot hanging on the tip of Li Xingyu's head, swaying back and forth, its clear eyes full of curiosity.

Xinghe and Tianshu had just finished dealing with the rabbits and were about to call Li Xingyu when they saw her looking up at something. Following her gaze, they saw a small golden creature.

Both of them were somewhat surprised: "Golden monkey?"

It seems there is a group of golden monkeys nearby. Because with the changes brought about by the spirit, these animals have become much more adaptable to their environment, but they still retain some of their habits and instincts.

You can see penguins and polar bears in Yuezhou, and white storks and platypuses in Kaizhou, but their lifestyles are still suited to them.

So they were just surprised for a moment. After all, they weren't very familiar with the area. They only knew roughly what kind of place it was, what kind of vegetation it had, and who the Li people lived in.

As for the animals living at the Li family's place, the two only knew of those they had seen here before, but neither of them particularly attracted animals, and besides, the animals might have just been passing by and stopped to rest, so...

"Hmm?" Li Xingyu was just about to coax the little golden monkey down to play when she heard Xinghe and Tianshu's voices. She turned around and was immediately drawn to the two of them and the rabbit meat they were holding: "Have you finished processing it? That was fast."

"Well, processing the rabbits isn't difficult; the main thing is spending time on testing them," Xinghe replied to Li Xingyu. He and Tian Shu carried the already cut-up rabbits toward Li Xingyu.

Seeing Xinghe and Tianshu approach, Li Xingyu gestured for them to put the rabbit meat on the table and wait a moment before proceeding to the next step, then turned around.

She wondered if the little golden monkey had left. She wanted to ask it if their tribe had monkey wine, which was at least a kind of wine and could probably be used as a substitute.

Li Xingyu was inwardly crying. Family, who understands? She was so extravagant as to want to use monkey wine in cooking. She was guilty.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (What is this? Is it tasty?)"

As soon as Li Xingyu turned around, she saw the golden monkey climb down from the bamboo tip and now cling to a bamboo stalk in front of her.

“Yes, we’re planning to make barbecue later, but we’re missing a little seasoning, so it might not taste as good,” Li Xingyu continued, picking up where the golden monkey left off.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (Can you understand me?)" The golden monkey was clearly surprised. This was the first time it had encountered a human who could understand it. Although this was only the third person it had met.

The little golden monkey climbed down from the bamboo and walked on the ground, moving closer to Li Xingyu.

"Hmm, I understand. I wanted to ask if you have any sweet fruit that makes a delicious drink? If so, can I trade with you?" Li Xingyu wanted to ask if their tribe had monkey wine, which was said to be very delicious.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (Yes, there are so many~ but Mom and Dad won't let us drink them.)" The little golden monkey walked up to Li Xingyu, raised its head and looked at her curiously.

Li Xingyu squatted down and handed the fruit she had been holding to the little golden monkey: "Here, nice to meet you. I am Li Xingyu, this is for you."

"Chirp chirp~ (My name is Xiao Jin, thank you Xingxing, I love this sweet fruit the most.)" Xiao Jin carefully took the banana that Li Xingyu handed to it.

They had eaten it once before, given to them by an elderly man who lived nearby. It was bigger and sweeter than the ones they had found on their own.

"You're welcome. May I ask if you can take us to your parents? We'd like to exchange some of your monkey wine with you." Li Xingyu carefully reached out and touched Xiao Jin's head. It was furry but also a little slippery, a very satisfying touch.

"Chirp~~ (So comfortable~ Sure, I'll show you the way, our place is very close by.)" Little Gold squinted its eyes comfortably and invited Li Xingyu.

"Is that alright? Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Jin. You don't need to walk by yourself, I can carry you." After getting Xiao Jin's consent, Li Xingyu carried Xiao Jin, who was not even as tall as her calves, in her arms.

If she talked any longer, her legs would go numb from squatting. She finally understood why her grandfather and the others liked to hold her and talk to her so much.

Ugh~ It feels like I've stabbed myself in the heart without even realizing it.

"I want to go to their territory with Xiao Jin and trade some things with them." Li Xingyu hugged Xiao Jin and blinked at Xinghe and Tian Shu. As long as she didn't do anything dangerous, they were easy to talk to.

The dangers in interstellar space are somewhat different from what she's experienced before:

Children can play anywhere that is not marked as dangerous, and women only need to bring a male with awakened abilities or a caregiver robot;

If you encounter any problems, you can ask anyone on the street for help, or ask them to contact your family or the police. You don't have to worry about safety at all.

You can accept anything given to you by others...

Thinking about things that were different from before, Li Xingyu sighed. This place was truly...enviable and desirable for the cubs.

I hope her original place can be like this too, where human trafficking disappears...

The laws here are revised and improved every time the Alliance Interstellar Conference is held, and the social environment has also improved because of the previous situation of universal conscription.

"Okay, do you want someone to come with you?" Xinghe's words interrupted Li Xingyu's wandering thoughts.

"Do you want to go?" Li Xingyu looked at Xinghe and Tianshu in front of him with a calm expression and a smile. He stroked Xiao Jin while asking Xinghe, and then glanced at the excited Tianshu.

While Li Xingyu was speaking, Haoyue shrunk to its smallest size, jumped onto her shoulder, and lay there.

Animals imbued with spirit can freely change size, but there are limitations. The maximum size depends on the amount of energy used, and the minimum size is the size they have ever had.

Xinghe and Haoyue were stunned by Li Xingyu's question. Could they just go if they wanted to? Or not have to worry about anything if they didn't want to go?

"Wow, wow, I want to see the golden monkey's territory." Tian Shu eagerly moved closer to Li Xingyu and even scooped up the baby snakes that were eager to launch themselves onto Li Xingyu.

If it weren't for the live stream, Tian Shu could have kept his snake babies close to Li Xingyu.

Now, Tian Shu looked at the little golden monkey in Li Xingyu's arms, his hands itching to stroke its furry fur. Who could resist such an obedient, cute, and incredibly good-looking Sichuan golden monkey?

That's right, Xiao Jin is a Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, and in Li Xingyu's opinion, it's the most beautiful species of golden snub-nosed monkey.

Looking at Tian Shu's expression, Li Xingyu lowered her head to ask Xiao Jin's opinion, then moved Xiao Jin a little closer to Tian Shu before shifting her gaze to Xing He.

"You guys go ahead, I'll just rest here and keep an eye on these things." Seeing Li Xingyu's questioning look, Xinghe bent down and ruffled her hair; it felt wonderful.

Li Xingyu had let her hair down while watching the cartoon, and now it was hanging down her back. Xinghe ruffled it, and she couldn't help but tilt her head to look at Xinghe's face, which was so close to hers.

"Oh, I see. That makes sense. It must have been hard work dealing with the rabbits. We'll wait for you to come back soon, okay?" Li Xingyu said, though a wicked thought crept into her mind.

After confirming that Xiao Jin and Hao Yue were dressed, Li Xingyu stretched out her hands, placed them on Xinghe's head, and rubbed them hard twice.

"Xiao Jin, let's go that way!" After rubbing Xinghe's head, Li Xingyu quickly asked Xiao Jin which way to go while he was stunned, taking the hoverboard out of his space as he asked.

Xiao Jin pointed in a direction, and Li Xingyu sped away on the hoverboard at full power, leaving behind only the words: "Tian Shu, what are you standing there for? Weren't we going to check on the golden monkeys' territory? Hurry up and follow me!"

Li Xingyu's words startled Tian Shu from his daze. He quickly glanced at Xinghe, then stepped onto the hoverboard beneath his feet and caught up with Li Xingyu's almost disappearing figure: "I'm here, Little Star, wait for me~"

Xinghe remained bent over, frozen in place. After a while, he straightened up, raised his hand to touch the top of his head, looking completely bewildered.

Then, Xinghe's face, ears, and neck turned completely red, as if they were about to bleed. He slowly covered his face with his hands, leaving only his bright red ears and a small section of his neck that had turned red.

Xinghe was now feeling shy, happy, and a little confused.

No one has ever touched his head before. Is this what it feels like?

How wonderful, and also a little comfortable. Is this how it feels when Little Feather is petted on the head?

Just now... Little Feather seemed to have touched his face and ears.

Xinghe became increasingly shy as she thought about it. After a while, she finally lifted her head from her hands, revealing her still flushed face and her slightly bewildered pale blue eyes.

Then Xinghe's eyes met those of the floating sphere that Li Xingyu's camera was slowly turning towards: "!!!"

Xinghe quickly controlled the floating ball to prevent it from taking pictures of him. How did it get here? Did it lose track of Little Feather?

The camera was originally following Li Xingyu, but Li Xingyu walked too fast, and the levitating ball didn't react in time, stopping in place, while the camera focused on Li Xingyu's departing figure.

Meanwhile, Xinghe was still trying to calm himself down.

On the other side, Li Xingyu gradually slowed down, waiting for Tian Shu to catch up.

"Phew, that was so exciting! Hahaha, Xinghe must be dumbfounded. Who told him to pat my head every day?" Li Xingyu hugged Xiao Jin, beaming with pride.

Xiao Jin and Hao Yue were both very excited. One grinned and the other kept rubbing against Li Xingyu's neck, making "gurgling" sounds.

Hmph, it's always her family members who pat her head, her parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother. She can't touch them all, can she? Today she finally got a chance.

Although I like being patted on the head, being patted on the head all the time is a bit...

She'd had her hair ruffled quite a bit before; they were all family, so she definitely didn't mind, at most she'd just be a little annoyed.

Li Xingyu received quite a few head pats during her visit. Although they were all quite good-looking and she didn't mind, she was still a little annoyed. This combination of old and new grudges...

But I think I just touched Xinghe's face and ears? They felt really nice.

Li Xingyu touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Little star, little star~" Tian Shu immediately saw Li Xingyu hovering in mid-air and quickly called out to her.

The baby snakes in Tian Shu's arms were very excited, constantly wriggling their thin bodies in his arms, their eyes sparkling. It was so exciting and fun, I wanted to do it again.

"Hey, Little Star, why are you running so fast? I almost couldn't keep up." Tian Shu smiled mischievously, teasing Li Xingyu.

"Hmph~ That's because you're too slow." Li Xingyu didn't mention the reason for running so fast and started to change the subject.

'Hmph, he's probably afraid Xinghe will be angry or unhappy, but I'm definitely going to touch him back. He's already ruffled my hair, and more than once, can't I even touch it back?'

"Isn't it because Little Star is too powerful?" Tian Shu controlled his hoverboard to approach Li Xingyu, tugging at her clothes and begging for mercy.

"Alright, let's keep going. Xiao Jin said we'll be there soon." Knowing that the other person was just trying to coax her, Li Xingyu raised her hand and ruffled Tian Shu's hair. Don't think I didn't see the envious look in your eyes when I ruffled Xing He's hair.

After rubbing it a few times, Li Xingyu took her hand off Tian Shu's head, who was stunned, and secretly compared it. Hmm, it felt different from Xinghe's.

Xinghe's hair is smooth and soft, like touching a piece of fine silk. Tian Shu's hair is also smooth because it's short, but it has a slightly fuzzy feel.
