Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Okay, is this it?" Li Xingyu stood up, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and held it in front of Xiao Hei. Her wide skirt rippled on the ground like a white flower.

"Mmm (Mmm.)" Little Black nodded its head.

"Even if you don't let me touch it, I'll still give you food. You're Haoyue's good friend, right? Can we be friends?" Li Xingyu moved the mung bean cake a little closer to Xiao Hei.

"Mimi~ (Sure, nice to meet you, Xingxing.)" Looking at the mung bean cake in front of him, Xiao Hei couldn't help but move closer to Li Xingyu's hand. It smelled so good.

"You eat, I have more here." Li Xingyu picked Haoyue up from her arms and put it on the ground, letting it and Xiao Hei sit in front of her. She then took a piece of mung bean cake and held it out to Haoyue.

Two cats of completely different colors obediently and elegantly nibbled on mung bean cakes from Li Xingyu's hand.

'I didn't expect cats in interstellar space to like pastries. That's a bit of a surprise,' Li Xingyu thought to herself.

"Meow meow meow~ (Little Black, since you don't know where you're going anyway, why don't you stay at Star's house? We can play together.)" Haoyue, who had just finished eating a piece of pastry, was slowly licking her paws and extended an invitation to Little Black, who was still eating pastry.

Xingxing just wanted to pet it and even gave it mung bean cakes. It must like it. I like it too. Its fur is so beautiful. I really hope it will say yes.

Little Black looks really powerful. If it agrees, it can protect the stars, and I can go hunting without worry.

"Mimi~ (Do you protect her just like you?)" Little Black swallowed the mung bean cake in its mouth and called out softly a few times.

"Meow meow meow~ (Yes, will you promise? Please promise, we can live next door.)" Haoyue got up and rubbed against Li Xingyu's hand, which had not yet been withdrawn.

"Little Black, do you want to come live at my house? You'll get all the good food from now on." Li Xingyu listened to the two cats' conversation, took the tissue Xinghe handed her, wiped the crumbs of pastry from her hands, and happily petted one cat in each hand.

"It's a cat! So cute and fluffy, the more the better!" Li Xingyu petted the cat with complete satisfaction.

"Snoring~ (Okay, then I will try my best to protect the stars too.)" Little Black couldn't help but make a "snoring" sound as Li Xingyu petted him.

'Hmm, it's so comfortable being with Xingxing. She even gave me delicious food, and there will be more delicious food in the future. I'm so happy. I like her so much. Then I'll protect her.' Xiao Hei slowly licked his paws, making up his mind.

"Whoosh~ I have another cat! I'm so happy! Welcome Xiao Hei to the family!" Li Xingyu gently hugged Xiao Hei and spun it around.

"Great-Grandma~ Grandma~ Grandpa~" Li Xingyu held the little black dog in her arms, her big golden eyes blinking as she looked at everyone, her eyes full of anticipation and joy.

"Alright, alright, if you like it, then raise it. We're not short of food or rooms at home." Li Manzhou picked up her cup, took a sip of tea, shook her head, and looked at him with doting eyes.

"Thank you, Great-Grandma~ Great-Grandma is so kind." Li Xingyu lifted Xiao Hei to her chin and rubbed Xiao Hei's head. Great-Grandma had agreed, so the matter was basically settled.

"Its name is Xiao Hei, and it's a black cat~" Li Xingyu explained to everyone while holding Xiao Hei.

"Oh? A black cat? Is it the kind of black cat from ancient books that can ward off evil spirits and protect the house?" Qin Fengshi raised an eyebrow, showing interest in the little black cat in Li Xingyu's arms.

After retiring, Qin Fengshi enjoyed studying ancient culture and other related topics. He happened to have many books at home, which he read with great interest.

"Judging from its appearance, it should be. But our Xiao Hei is still small, but it will definitely be very powerful when it grows up." Li Xingyu picked up Haoyue, who was still squatting on the ground. Even with the addition of a new cat, she couldn't forget the old cats.

Regarding furry creatures and other small animals, Li Xingyu stated that she is not fickle and easily bored; at most, she might be a little bit of a jerk or a playboy, but only a tiny bit.

Another group waited on the back mountain for nearly two hours, where they not only saw Haoyue and Xiaohei, but also witnessed the sunset.

"The lotus leaves stretch to the sky, an endless expanse of green; the lotus blossoms, bathed in sunlight, are a vibrant red. The ancients were truly right." Li Xingyu murmured to himself as he looked at the pond below the pavilion.

The pavilion offers a fantastic view, overlooking most of the scenery below. The lotus pond is located to the west of the pavilion, in the direction of sunset, and the lotus pond is exceptionally beautiful in June.

Lotus flowers and leaves dance gracefully in the breeze, each with its own unique beauty and artistic conception.

Everyone's level was quite high, so their five senses were naturally more acute. Upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, they all followed her gaze.

"Hmm? 'Leaving Jingci Temple at Dawn to See Lin Zifang Off'? Little Feather has also read Yang Wanli's poems?" Qin Fengshi asked with some surprise.

The others looked at Li Xingyu when they heard Qin Feng's words. What were they talking about? They couldn't quite understand.

Interstellar society also has cultural classes, and each race's ancient culture is taught in special courses. However, because their history is so long and there is so much to learn, there are some literary works that they have basically never heard of.

Qin Feng knew about it because of the book "Anthology of Ancient Poetry and Prose of Blue Star" that he had read a couple of days ago. It was the same book that Li Xingyu had kept at a distance the day before yesterday. It basically included all the poems, songs and prose that have been recorded to date.

“Yes, although we’re not at West Lake, these two lines really suit the scenery and time of day.” Li Xingyu nodded, and the tassels on her hairpin swayed.

"Hehe, this is a seven-character quatrain. Its full content is: 'The West Lake in June is truly unique, its scenery unlike any other season. The lotus leaves stretch endlessly to the sky, a boundless green, while the lotus blossoms, bathed in sunlight, are a vibrant red.' It's a poem by the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli." Qin Fengshi explained to the somewhat bewildered crowd with a smile.

“Indeed, Little Feather is right, it suits her very well.” Everyone looked at Li Xingyu, muttering the poem, and then turned their gaze to the lotus pond at the foot of the mountain, nodding in agreement.

"Alright, it's almost time. We should go home." Delas glanced at the time on his personal terminal and stood up.

"Ah~ Is it already so late?" Li Qingyue glanced at the time on her personal terminal and was somewhat surprised, feeling that they hadn't been here for very long.

Indeed, most people here just drink tea, listen to music, eat pastries, and maybe pet the cats. How come it's already 6:30? They came up the mountain at less than 4:00.

"Little Feather, did I miss recording your song this afternoon?" Ryan whispered to Li Xingyu as he tidied up the things on the table.

“What are you saying, Grandpa Ryan? You are family, the most important people. Nothing will be delayed because of you. Compared to other things, it's those other things that delay the time I spend with my family.” Li Xingyu helped put the things away and shook her head.

Li Xingyu didn't notice that after she finished speaking, everyone paused for several seconds before continuing as if nothing had happened, but with gentle and helpless smiles on their faces.

'Really, Little Feather is always like that; every time she says something unintentional, it always makes you feel so warm.'

There were two more cats on the way down the mountain than on the way up. Li Xingyu was being carried by Xifeier. The saying "going up the mountain is easy, but going down the mountain is hard" is not just a saying.

It only took them about fifteen minutes to go up the mountain, but it took them nearly twenty minutes to go down. Li Xingyu asked to come down and walk on her own at the foot of the mountain, carrying her skirt all the way home.

"Ah~ What should we eat tonight?" Li Xingyu slumped onto the sofa and asked the age-old question.

The others looked at Li Xingyu with amusement but remained silent, because they didn't know either.

"I'm craving hot pot, but spicy stir-fry is also good, and I like braised chicken too. Ah~ it's so hard to choose." Li Xingyu hugged Haoyue and Xiao Hei, burying her head in Haoyue's belly.

Li Xingyu doesn't want to cook too many dishes today, so she'll just choose one from the simple and convenient ones.

"Hmm, it's decided. Tonight we'll have braised chicken, and tomorrow for lunch we'll have hot pot. Ah~ what a delightful decision." Li Xingyu didn't expect anyone else to answer; they certainly wouldn't know what these dishes were. She simply made arrangements for today's and tomorrow's meals while talking to herself.

"Let me think... what ingredients do I need to prepare? Hmm... chicken legs, bell peppers, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, lettuce, eggs... sigh... I should probably research bean products when I have time, otherwise it always feels like something's missing." Li Xingyu rubbed Xiao Hei's smooth, shiny black fur.

"Mmm~ (Soy products?)" Xiao Hei moved a little closer to Li Xingyu's hand.

“Yes, it’s semi-finished food made from soybeans or other beans, such as soy milk, tofu, fried tofu puffs, and dried bean curd sticks… Slurp~” Li Xingyu continued following Xiao Hei’s words, and as she talked, she even made herself craving food.

"Ah, speaking of which, we can make steamed buns and fried dough sticks tomorrow morning. Hmm, that's decided." Li Xingyu pinched Xiao Hei and Hao Yue's paws, massaging their soft, pink paw pads.

"Little Feather, I just ordered chicken legs and eggs on StarNet. All the other ingredients are in the kitchen. Also, do we need to prepare anything for tomorrow's breakfast?" Xinghe sat next to Li Xingyu with his personal terminal, his voice and tone gentle and soothing.

"Ah~ I might need to prepare some flour, minced meat, eggs, soybeans, and some cabbage, chili peppers, mushrooms, and celery, cut into pieces about the same size as the pork." Li Xingyu teased Xiao Hei with one hand and rested her chin on her other hand.

Since someone was helping, she could sleep in a little longer and relax. Li Xingyu told Xinghe all the ingredients she needed for breakfast the next morning.

"Okay, Little Feather, I'll prepare in advance." Xinghe tapped a few times on the light brain screen, turned to look at Li Xingyu, her eyes gentle and her smile soft.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Xinghe. Thank you for your hard work." Li Xingyu turned to face Xinghe, her eyes crinkling with a trusting smile.

"It's no trouble at all. Little Feather will never have to say 'I'm bothering you'." Xinghe's smile faded slightly, and his expression became serious. His gentle and refined voice also carried a hint of solemnity.

'Although I'm part of the Li family, I still prefer the role of butler. It's my duty to do things for Xiao Yumo and the others. I don't want Xiao Yumo to be so polite. Sure enough, I haven't spent enough time with Xiao Yumo. The Alliance doesn't seem to need me much lately, so I can take my vacation.' Xinghe secretly made his plans.

“Okay, since Xinghe doesn’t like the phrase ‘thank you for your trouble,’ I’ll change it to ‘thank you, Xinghe’ from now on. You can’t refuse, or I’ll be unhappy.” Li Xingyu said a few words to Xinghe, and then arrogantly turned her head to the other side at the end.

'Hmph, if you won't let me say 'thank you', then I'll say 'thank you' then. It's an affirmation and respect for his efforts. Honestly, even if it's just a butler system, you can't treat me like this.' Li Xingyu was a little unhappy.

'Hmph, it's only because we're at home that Xinghe would be so unhappy. Humph, you idiot.' Li Xingyu continued to complain.

In fact, Li Xingyu's thinking was not wrong. Judging from Xinghe's temperament and aura, he was living a good life. He had energy and spirit, which was also related to the family atmosphere of the Li family.

"Okay, I understand. Little Feather can say whatever she wants." Xinghe ruffled Li Xingyu's hair. He was just expressing his attitude to Li Xingyu and didn't mean anything else.

He knew that Li Xingyu was thinking of him, and his gentle voice became even softer, his light-colored eyes filled with tenderness.

"Oh no~ my hairstyle! Xinghe~" Li Xingyu had a bad feeling the moment Xinghe put his hand on her head, her hairstyle was already messed up.

Fortunately, Li Xingyu styled her hair very securely, and Xinghe gently rubbed her head, so her hair was only slightly messy and didn't fall apart completely.

"Ahem~ Little Feather... I'm sorry." Xinghe quickly withdrew his hand from Li Xingyu's head, his face full of apology.

'Oh no, I'm used to rubbing it, so it just happens subconsciously... I hope Little Feather isn't too angry, and I can try to coil it back for her.' Xinghe thought to himself, 'This is bad.'

"Hmph~ No way, Xinghe, come here and lower your head." Li Xingyu was still a little angry, her golden eyes darting around as she gestured for Xinghe to come closer.

"Hmm." Xinghe heard that there was no anger or resentment in Li Xingyu's voice, and she didn't know what Li Xingyu wanted to do, so she obediently moved her head closer to Li Xingyu.

"Hmph~ Let you rub my hair..." When Li Xingyu saw Xinghe's head leaning closer, he swiftly reached out with both hands to Xinghe's head and began to rub it incessantly, though he was controlling the force.

"Boom!" Xinghe was about to explode. His face and exposed skin turned red almost instantly.
