Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 84 The 84th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Okay~ then I'll reluctantly wait a little longer." Li Xinghua was a little reluctant to put the mung bean cake in her hand on the kitchen counter, placing it together with the ones that others had just made.

"Oh, what does it matter?" Delas said, but his hands still deftly placed the mung bean cake on the counter and began making the next one.

"Phew~ We've finally arrived. Is it okay now? I can't wait." Li Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Li Xingyu beside her, her face full of excitement.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Here, have this first. Let's get ready." Li Xingyu took a piece of mung bean cake from the basket that Xifeier was carrying and handed it to Li Xinghua.

"Mmm~ Cough." Li Xinghua took the mung bean cake and took a big bite. Her mouth was filled with mung bean cake, and she couldn't say a word. She almost choked on the mung bean cake in her mouth.

"Hey~ You can't rush these kinds of pastries. It's best to eat them with tea." Li Xingyu handed Li Xinghua a glass of water, seeing that she almost choked.

"Ah~ the scenery is really nice, with clear waters and lush mountains, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation." Li Xingyu stood in the pavilion, admiring the view, and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Qingyue stood beside Li Xingyu without saying a word. A gentle breeze ruffled their hair, and time seemed to stand still, leaving only tranquility and peace.

“Yes, the timing is perfect right now. Maybe we can even see the sunset later.” Li Manzhou sat down next to Li Qingyue and Li Xingyu, with Li Xinghua following behind her.

"Alright, Little Feather, come and put your violin away." Lost's voice pulled Li Xingyu back to reality.

It wasn't that Li Manzhou and the other three didn't want to decorate, but all the men refused. How could they let girls do something like decorating the venue?

They're not dead, why would they need the girls in their families to set up a picnic? It's more like they need a picnic area. People would laugh at them if they knew, let alone since they're live-streaming it.

Since they started the live stream, Li Manzhou and her three companions have kept it running non-stop. From making mung bean cakes to arriving at the octagonal pavilion, every scene was captured by the viewers in the live stream, although everyone had already gotten used to it.

"Okay, I'm coming." Hearing Lost's words, Li Xingyu turned and walked towards the middle of the pavilion.

This octagonal pavilion is located halfway up the mountain behind the house, offering excellent views, with a winding stream babbling nearby.

The pavilion was made of an unknown material, but its style was that of a traditional pavilion familiar to Li Xingyu: red pillars and railings, black tiles on the roof that resembled upturned corners in different directions, and a stone table and benches connecting to the pavilion floor in the middle...

This improved Li Xingyu's mood somewhat, but it was also mixed with some indescribable melancholy.

He took out his familiar guqin from the storage space and set it up. After a few simple tests, the guqin version of "Invisible Wings" flowed from Li Xingyu's hands.

Based on the original melody, Li Xingyu added some techniques commonly used in guqin playing, giving this already melodious song a special artistic conception and charm.

Upon hearing Li Xingyu's music, everyone slowed their movements and turned to look at her.

Dressed in white, Li Xingyu's fingers flew across the strings, producing melodious and flowing piano music that danced at her fingertips, forming a beautiful tune.

"Mmm~ mmm~..." The ethereal and melodious chanting, accompanied by Li Xingyu's zither music, echoed in everyone's ears.

It is Lost, a mermaid race skilled in singing and weaving. They sing along when they are in a good mood or when they hear beautiful melodies and songs.

Their addition will not only not ruin the melody and overall feel of the music, but will also enhance it, adding a touch of artistic conception and harmony to the already melodious and beautiful tune.

Actually, Lost sang when Li Xingyu was recording in the afternoon, but she didn't hear it.

"Clang~~~"

A lingering, memorable note slowly faded into the air, marking the end of the piece, "Invisible Wings."

Mountains and rivers are the best at healing the soul, and so is music.

After all, Li Xingyu was a student who hadn't entered society yet and hadn't experienced any major events in his life. Suddenly arriving in a completely unfamiliar place, although he didn't show it, he always had a feeling of being out of place in this world.

Pressing down on the still-vibrating strings, Li Xingyu's lips curled into a relieved and gentle smile.

'Phew~ Since it's all set in stone, I should accept and adapt to it. Complaining and feeling lost won't help; it will only add to my troubles. From now on, I need to start living life seriously.' Li Xingyu said to herself.

Qingyao and Hanqing exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief, putting their minds at ease.

As Li Xingyu's system, and a system sensitive to emotions, the two of them had already noticed Li Xingyu's suppressed emotions and were thinking about how to persuade him.

Now it seems that Li Xingyu is indeed as described in the information, living a clear-headed life, but it's a bit heartbreaking.

She was the victim, yet she had to comfort herself. Sure enough, the punishment the Time Management Bureau gave to that little system and 'her' was a bit too lenient.

Qingyao and Hanqing were of one mind and, with great tacit understanding, temporarily blocked Li Xingyu's perception of their systems and connected with the main system.

Li Xingyu had no idea what her two systems were thinking. He only felt sad for a very short time before calming himself down and looking up at the others who were looking at him with a bright smile: "How was it? Did you like it?"

“Little Feather is amazing! Your guqin skills have improved again. I really like this piece.” Lost was the first to answer Li Xingyu’s question.

"Yes, I heard it! Lost's father's singing is also very nice, very impressive." Li Xingyu looked at Lost with her eyes crinkling.

"But... did Little Feather encounter something unpleasant? Why does the music sound confused and lonely? But now you should understand, I felt the sudden enlightenment at the end." Hearing Li Xingyu's praise, Lost did not smile, but his expression was somewhat serious.

“Yes, Father Lost is right, but as you said, it’s all in the past, isn’t it?” Li Xingyu wasn’t surprised; she could hear the care, encouragement, and relief in Lost’s singing.

“Little Feather, although we don’t know what happened, you can tell us~ We’ll always be by your side.” Li Xinghua hugged Li Xingyu and rubbed her smooth cheek.

“Little Feather is still a cub. You must tell us if anything happens.” Delas nodded, looking at Li Xingyu with some disapproval.

"Okay, I know. I'll make you some tea. I saw this in the 'Inherited Memory'. I don't know if I'll be able to make it successfully the first time." Li Xingyu changed the subject, holding the tea leaves that Xinghe took out from the storage space, and tilted her head.

“Okay, we’re looking forward to it.” Qin Fengshi knew that Li Xingyu didn’t want to talk about this with them, so he went along with her.

Seeing Li Xingyu's relaxed and cheerful expression, the others secretly made plans, their eyes darkening slightly: 'Although we don't know what happened, it's okay, this won't happen again.'

The water was prepared by Xinghe long ago, along with a series of tools for boiling water and brewing tea, all of which are now neatly arranged on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

"Scald the cups. Place the cups in the tea rinse bowl to sterilize the teaware with high temperature."

Rinse the tea. Remove the brewed cup, put 3-5g of Anji white tea into the porcelain cup with a teaspoon, and stir the tea quickly with the teaspoon. After 3 seconds, pour out the tea to remove all impurities from the Anji white tea.

Brew the tea. Continue pouring hot water into the porcelain cup and wait patiently.

Because Anji white tea belongs to the green tea category, its brewing water temperature is 80~85°C. When brewing, put the tea leaves into the cup, pour in water at 80~85°C until it is seven-tenths full, let it cool for about 5 minutes before drinking.

"It's usually enough to steep it 3-4 times," Li Xingyu explained slowly as she brewed the tea.

After the Anji white tea has fully steeped in the porcelain cup, pick up the cup and take small sips to savor its refreshing aroma and mellow, sweet aftertaste.

Li Xingyu's tea-making movements were fluid and graceful, and with the added effect of her face and clothes, she completely stunned everyone. It wasn't until she placed the cups in front of each person that they came back to their senses.

"Hmm, Xiao Yu has mastered the tea-making technique very well. But why didn't you record it yesterday?" Li Qingyue took a sip of tea and asked Li Xingyu with some curiosity.

As mentioned before, women who possess 'inherited memories' will instinctively retain the content when they receive these 'memories,' regardless of the method used.

"Oh, this? I figured out this afternoon that mung bean cake and tea go perfectly together, and then I found out. Also, there are different ways to brew and enjoy each type of tea. I've already sent the detailed instructions to my personal computer. I plan to brew it and try it out first, and then send the information to Tian Shu and Uncle Jenny." Li Xingyu shrugged.

She transmitted these materials while multitasking up the mountain, though it wasn't exactly multitasking, since Si Zi'an carried her for two-thirds of the way.

After all, although it is called the back mountain, its height is over 100 meters. Given Li Xingyu's current physical condition, she cannot climb it alone.

"Is that so? Little Feather is truly remarkable, so clever." Li Manzhou praised, picked up a pastry from the table, and ate it slowly and elegantly, taking a bite of pastry and a sip of tea, a satisfied expression on her face.

"Hehe, not really." Li Xingyu smiled sheepishly.

Everyone quieted down, feeling the cool mountain breeze and the melodious chirping of the birds, which was quite pleasant to hear, and everyone relaxed.

Actually, another reason for choosing this place is for Si Zian. His previous workplaces were all extremely dangerous places, requiring him to be on high alert at all times. Now that he has retired, he needs to gradually change that situation.

"Meow? (A star?)"

"Mimi? (Who is it? Is it the person you decided to protect?)"

A cat's meow came from not far from the pavilion. Li Xingyu and the others heard it, but only Li Xingyu, Xinghe, and Tian Shu understood it.

"Hmm? Haoyue?" Li Xingyu heard Haoyue's somewhat familiar voice and turned to look around in confusion.

"Meow meow meow! (Stars, what are you doing here? It smells so good, did you make something delicious again?)" Haoyue pounced out from the bushes not far away, shook her snow-white fur, and walked towards the group with elegant little steps.

"Mimi! (Little... Haoyue? Why did you suddenly go out?)" A cat with black fur that shimmered red in the sunlight and had one blue and one yellow-green eye followed behind Haoyue.

"Oh~ Haoyue, what are you doing here? Is it your friend?" Li Xingyu stroked Haoyue, who had jumped onto her lap and was quite curious about the black cat.

'Is this Haoyue's friend? Or is it his brother? But the two cats are different breeds.' Li Xingyu's mind raced as he watched the black cat slowly walk over.

Li Xingyu has always loved cats and dogs, but she is still in school and can't keep them as pets. So she often watches videos of cats and dogs online, and after watching a lot of videos, she has learned a lot about them.

This black cat belongs to the Chinese domestic cat breed, but Li Xingyu didn't know which specific breed it was, as her understanding of cats wasn't that deep.

"Meow meow meow~ (No, my brother left here last night to travel to other places. He is a new friend I met on my way home. He is much younger than me and doesn't have a name yet.)" Haoyue rolled over on Li Xingyu's lap.

"Hello? I am Haoyue's friend, Li Xingyu. May I ask how you got here?" Li Xingyu picked up Haoyue and squatted down to talk to the black cat sitting on the ground.

The cat sensed no malice or hostility from Li Xingyu and the others, and shrunk its enlarged body back to its original size, which was about the same size as Li Xingyu's size 33 foot.

The others saw two cats, and apart from Xinghe and Tianshu who could understand what they were saying, they only heard a bunch of "meows" and Li Xingyu's words, so they stopped paying attention to this side.

"Meow~ (Hello? You can really understand us! They all call me Xiao Hei. I came here from my travels.)" Xiao Hei looked up at Li Xingyu, its voice very childish, small and soft.

"Oh my~ You're so cute, can I pet you?" Li Xingyu listened to its babyish voice and looked at its petite body, her hand itching to pet the cat.

Although she already had Haoyue in her arms, which she liked very much, it didn't stop Li Xingyu from wanting to pet other cats.

"Mimi~ (Yes, yes, I'll pat your head, but can you give me one of those fragrant things on the table?)" Xiao Hei moved its head closer to Li Xingyu.
