Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

“Yes, we met him by chance in a beautiful valley on our way to his home in New Jersey. At that time…” Li Yuanyou confirmed Li Xingyu’s guess.

It turns out that Li Yuanyou and Kasitsi formed an unforgettable friendship with an orchid they encountered by chance back then. However, they couldn't stay there forever, so they had to say goodbye. Over the years, they have often gone to look for the orchid and occasionally stayed there for a while.

Ze Lan is the name of this orchid. Because it is a plant imbued with spirit, although it has its own thoughts and perceptions, it cannot move on its own. Fortunately, Ze Lan has a calm nature and can stay in one place.

Moreover, after befriending Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi, they would occasionally give Zelan a more suitable position and talk about things outside.

Originally, Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi lived a very leisurely life after retirement, which was very suitable for people like them who had come down from the battlefield. Now they have adapted to this kind of life very well.

Thanks to the unintentional influence of Ze Lan and Li Xingyu, Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi have now returned to normal life.

The two of them spent their days together, doing crafts, strolling through the bamboo forest, chatting with people living nearby, and occasionally going on trips to visit friends.

"Ah~" Li Xingyu put a piece of roasted rabbit meat into her mouth. Li Yuanyou and Kasitsi, who were watching each other talk and eat a bite of roasted rabbit meat, felt that they were already full even though they hadn't eaten much roasted rabbit meat. They felt like they were eating dog food.

Despite what she was saying, Li Xingyu was still eating roasted rabbit meat while listening to her two grandfathers tell stories, and so were everyone else, including Tuo and Congqian, not to mention the viewers in the live stream.

They were basically eating slowly while listening intently to the two of them talking.

Before eating, Li Xingyu prepared a set of tableware for the viewers in the live stream: knives and forks, several small bamboo plates of different shapes, disposable biodegradable gloves, chopsticks...

The viewers in the live stream were impressed by what Li Xingyu had prepared, exclaiming that she was such a gentle princess who had considered their feelings.

Li Xingyu was indeed thinking about the viewers in the live stream: the viewers in the live stream were already unable to eat anything, and it would be too cruel not to provide them with utensils. They couldn't very well be forced to eat with their hands or take food from the hands of the people streaming the live stream, that would be too...

Moreover, considering that most of the food in her live stream was hot, Li Xingyu prepared a set of tableware for the people in her live stream.

Although she can't actually let them eat right now, at least she can make the experience better for the people in her live stream.

Li Xingyu and Tian Shu's food was also cut up. She and Tian Shu sat on small stools, much shorter than Xinghe, Li Yuanyou, and Kasitesi, making it a bit difficult for them to take meat from the roasted rabbit on the plate themselves.

After finishing the roasted rabbit meat in her small dish, Li Xingyu was about 70% full. It has to be said that Xinghe's control over Li Xingyu's appetite was absolutely amazing.

Yes, the roasted rabbit meat for Li Xingyu was also picked off the rabbit's leg by Xinghe. Because Li Xingyu is used to having fruit after meals, Xinghe decided to give Li Xingyu a portion of roasted rabbit meat that was only 70% full.

Li Xingyu wiped her mouth and hands, and looked around at the fruit in front of her. Because the roasted rabbit was placed in the middle of the table, the fruit was placed on the edge of the table, making it easy for Li Xingyu to reach it.

Li Xingyu looked at the fruit she had brought, took out a big red strawberry that was the size of her two fists, held it in both hands, and listened to her two grandfathers talking while taking a bite every now and then.

After Haoyue finished eating its roasted rabbit meat, it ran to Li Xingyu's leg and licked its fur.

While listening to Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi talk, Li Xingyu praised Ryan in her heart, thinking, "As expected of a plant-type elf, the things he grows are delicious."

Li Xingyu glanced at the bamboo shoots, who were engrossed in eating, and praised Ryan again. Then, seeing that they were clearly listening to the two grandfathers, they also calmed down and listened to the two grandfathers tell stories.

Yes, no one can resist listening to stories while eating. Interesting and exciting stories can even increase appetite; otherwise, where would all those electronic pickled vegetables come from?

Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi were clearly skilled storytellers, with rich and varied personal experiences, and their stories were captivating, keeping everyone engrossed.

"Yes, that's it. Little Feather, how did you recognize that Ze Lan is an orchid right away?" Cassie finished their story and asked Li Xingyu, who was munching on a strawberry, a question.

"Oh... I saw this while reading in Siweier's father's study." Li Xingyu calmly swallowed the strawberry in her mouth and shifted the blame to Siweier.

The books in Siwei'er's study do indeed contain such information, and it is recorded in this way. She asked Qingyao and Hanqing to put it there. The plant encyclopedia in the interstellar space only states the name of the plant and whether it is edible, without such detailed information.

'It even cost energy~ This way we're absolutely sure of everything. Anyway, it's just hidden in an inconspicuous place, so it'll be easy to miss.' Li Xingyu hummed to herself, taking another bite out of her mouth.

This left those waiting for her to speak feeling breathless and unable to urge her on, for fear that she might choke.

No one doubted Li Xingyu's words, because Si Weier was indeed the person with the largest known collection of books in the entire interstellar space, and it was normal for there to be some things in the books that they did not know.

It's important to know that Siwei'er's study wasn't open to just anyone; it was only for family members and a handful of close friends.

Li Xingyu looked at the group of people staring at her, somewhat confused, wondering if they also wanted strawberries. "What's wrong? You want some too?"

“…No, Little Feather, could you tell me more details? Also, what book is it? Do you remember the title?” Cassie almost choked on the roasted rabbit meat in her mouth, quickly chewed and swallowed it, and looked at the others’ silent expressions, then asked Li Xingyu with a smile.

Li Xingyu pursed her lips, swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, and knew it.

But looking at the people in front of her and the floating ball facing her, Li Xingyu slowly began to explain: "I forgot the book title (actually, I don't know which books Qingyao and Hanqing put these things in).

Seeing the somewhat disappointed looks on their faces, Li Xingyu shrugged and continued, "The book says that 'orchid' has three meanings. The first refers to Eupatorium fortunei. Eupatorium fortunei is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Orchid of the Orchidaceae family, such as Cymbidium ensifolium, Cymbidium faberi, and Cymbidium lancifolium. Its leaves are ovate and opposite, and it blooms with white flowers in autumn. Moreover, the whole plant is fragrant and can be used to make aromatic oils and also as medicine."

"The root or whole plant is used medicinally. It has the effects of nourishing yin and clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. It is mainly used to treat whooping cough, hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis, neurasthenia, dizziness and back pain, urinary tract infection, and leukorrhea. Properties and channels: pungent and neutral. Functions: nourishing yin and clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough."

Li Xingyu looked at the group of people staring intently at her and took a breath: "The second explanation is that orchid grass is a common name for orchids. You should know a little about this, so I won't go into details. The last explanation is that orchid grass is also called 'luo luo' (le), which is also a kind of fragrant herb."

Why did Li Xingyu know these things? Because the fragrance of orchids and the appearance of the plant itself—the fragrance is delicate and the appearance is elegant and understated—make them excellent design elements, so she made a special effort to learn about them.

"In addition, orchids are very noble flowers, symbolizing nobility, confidence, elegance, and patriotism. They are also a symbol of fidelity."

Before Li Xingyu could finish speaking, everyone, including the viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream, showed surprise: 'As expected of Little Feather/Little Star/Star/Little Prince!'

"People usually give it to friends, brothers, or people they admire. It has a very good meaning. In ancient times, it was also a symbol of a gentleman." Li Xingyu nodded to indicate that she had finished speaking, and then took a bite of the strawberry tip she had just eaten.

"I didn't expect our little feather to be so amazing, she even knows this." Li Yuanyou looked at Li Xingyu, his eyes full of praise.

You should know that he and Cassidy consulted a lot of materials before they found a little bit of information about orchids, well, only the name, composition, and what they looked like before the orchid was lit.

They had never heard of such detailed descriptions and popular science explanations as Xiao Yu Mao. They had previously borrowed some books about orchids from Si Wei Er, but there were simply too many related books. Even though Si Wei Er had lent them all the copies, they still hadn't finished reading them.

However, I didn't expect Xiao Yu to know these things. It seems that Si Wei'er spoils Xiao Yu very much, even letting Xiao Yu go in and out of the study.

After everyone had eaten their fill, there were still six untouched roasted rabbits left.

Li Xingyu stared silently at the remaining roasted rabbit meat. The rabbit was unexpectedly large; before finishing it, she had only thought about eating and hadn't considered all the consequences. Now…

Of course, you should put it in the storage space. It can not only keep the food warm and maintain its flavor, but also prevent the flavors from mixing.

At times like this, Li Xingyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Interstellar storage spaces are so convenient!"

The storage space consists of individual, unconnected compartments that change size according to the volume of the items. The compartments are all initially identical, measuring 20cm x 20cm. When you put something in, each compartment is made of a different material.

However, this compartment feature is only available in intermediate and higher-level storage spaces. For lower-level spaces, which are designed to hold more items, adding compartments would be a waste of space.

Therefore, the area of ​​a storage space is the initial area, and the actual area of ​​intermediate and higher levels can be expanded to a certain extent.

Li Xingyu's belongings were all categorized and placed into her numerous storage spaces, with dedicated areas for food, gifts, tools, books, and so on...

Li Xingyu and the others first packed up all the remaining roasted rabbit meat.

Because the rabbit was given to Li Xingyu by Cong Qian and the others, and Li Xingyu provided the recipe and asked Xinghe and Tian Shu for their opinions, they said that it was fine to do it according to Li Xingyu's own ideas.

Then Li Xingyu gave one to Tuo and the others, and Cong Qian and the others also gave one, as did Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi.

"By the way, Grandpa Yuanyou, Grandpa Kasitsi, how did you end up here?" In Li Xingyu's memory, their residence was quite a distance away from here.

"Aww~ We ran out of bamboo, so we came to the bamboo forest to get some. When we got this far, we saw smoke coming from this area, so we decided to come and check it out." Cassie explained casually as she was taking something out of her storage space.

"Little Feather, please accept this. It's not very valuable to us. And these are all for you." Li Yuanyou took the orchid with ice-blue patterns and then took out a bunch of bamboo handicrafts from his storage space and placed them on the empty table.

Cassidy also pulled out a whole bunch of things from his storage space; so that's what he was just taking out!

The fruit on the table was given to Tuo and the others. Li Xingyu still had a lot of fruit in her storage space. The roasted rabbit meat had already been packed up. Li Xingyu gave away three portions of roasted rabbit meat, and there were three portions left. Originally, she planned to give one portion each to Xinghe and Tianshu.

However, Xinghe and Tianshu told Li Xingyu to keep it safe, as they would be eating at the Li family's house for the next few days and didn't need to give it to them.

It has to be said that they know Li Xingyu very well. Li Xingyu originally planned to give her portion to her great-grandmother and the others to try, and since Grandpa Zian is coming back tonight, it can be served as a dish.

"Alright then, Grandpa Yuanyou and Grandpa Kasitsi, bend down and close your eyes." Li Xingyu happily put a bunch of trinkets into the storage space that was specially used for receiving gifts.

Then, Li Xingyu took out two jasmine wreaths and bouquets she had made yesterday from the storage space of the gifts she had given away to others, and gently placed the jasmine wreaths on Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi's heads.

Because the storage space could change its shape, Li Xingyu changed each storage space to a shape that would be easy for her to remember. For example, the book storage space was an open book, the clothing storage space was a dress, and the food storage space was a bowl...

"Alright, Grandpa Yuanyou, Grandpa Kasitsi, you can open your eyes now." Li Xingyu, holding two bouquets of jasmine flowers, looked at the two grandfathers with a bright smile and asked them to open their eyes.

"Hmm?" Li Yuanyou and Kasitsi closed their eyes after hearing Li Xingyu's words, and then smelled a refreshing fragrance. With this fragrance, the little feather approached them, and then something was placed on their heads.

Li Yuanyou and Kasitesi exchanged a glance and were both taken aback when they saw each other wearing flower wreaths. Then they saw amazement in each other's eyes and how they saw themselves in each other's eyes.

"Ahem~ Grandpas, that's enough, there are other people around." Li Xingyu coughed twice, interrupting their staring contest.

'Hmph, showing off their love again, showing off their love again! How annoying! Why do I have to be fed dog food everywhere I go? It was like this before, and it's like this now. They just quietly bring me a gift, and they're making it seem like I haven't had enough.'
