Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 118 The 118th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"What is this? The color is quite unique." Xinghe also likes to collect pretty and special things, and now, looking at the strangely colored, unidentified object in Li Xingyu's hand, her interest was immediately piqued.

'Hmm... this color is quite unique. It reminds me of colorful black, multicolored white, and the mysterious and melancholic, ethereal and lingering "Ah~", hahahahaha.' When Li Xingyu heard Xinghe's words, she immediately remembered several ways of describing things that had gone viral on Douyin before, and she started to complain in her heart. Some of the jokes are still very funny when she thinks about them now.

"Um, cough, a multicolored white? Thank you, Bai Xi. I'm Li Xingyu. I really like your gift, but what is this?" Li Xingyu held the item up to her eyes and examined it against the light.

Hmm, is it an opaque substance? I can't see anything. Oh, all I can see is that iridescent white.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (Stars~ Stars~ Can you understand what I'm saying? This is a unique star source for our Nebula life forms. It can restore mental energy, help you sleep, transform into the starry sky, and even protect you from some dangers if you wear it.)" Bai Xi bounced up and down in Li Xingyu's hand, her voice cheerful and lively.

'Is she a star too? It feels so comfortable being around a star, I want to stay by a star's side forever.' A vague thought flashed through Bai Xi's mind, before her attention was drawn back to Li Xingyu.

"Oh~ Is that so? Bai Xi is really amazing. It's lunchtime now. Would you like to have lunch with us? You can eat our food, right?" Li Xingyu nodded without changing her expression when she heard Bai Xi's words, but her heart was in turmoil. What was originally a casual reply turned into a questioning word with an upward ending tone.

Li Xingyu's reaction aroused the suspicion of Delas and the others. They had been together for so long and knew Li Xingyu quite well. This reaction clearly indicated that something was wrong.

Delas and the others exchanged glances, seeing certainty and doubt in each other's eyes. They then shook their heads and glanced discreetly at the floating sphere filming in mid-air. Not everything can be made public.

However, Delas and the others didn't say anything. They just watched Li Xingyu and Bai Xi communicate silently. There was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't understand what Bai Xi was saying, nor could they guess what a round sphere was trying to express.

“Buzz buzz buzz~ (Okay~ Thank you, stars, I can eat your food, I can absorb all known objects that contain energy~)” Bai Xi stretched out two thin, semi-transparent tentacles that were the same color as her body, hugged Li Xingyu’s thumb that was slightly raised to support her, and rubbed her whole body against it.

Because Bai Xi is currently just a ball about five centimeters in diameter, its tentacles are thicker as they get closer to its body, and the very tip of its tail is less than five millimeters. Because of this extremely thin diameter, its tentacles are semi-transparent.

"Alright, let's go eat!" Li Xingyu gasped upon hearing Bai Xi's words. 'Holy crap, all objects containing energy... that includes people and spirited animals, right? Beasts also contain energy, right? I'll ask Grandpa and the others later. Luckily, Bai Xi is still innocent and doesn't harbor any ill intentions; otherwise, what's the difference between her and a ticking time bomb?'

Judging from Bai Xi's appearance, it shouldn't have been forcibly captured by Bai Lixing's side, otherwise its emotions and fluctuations wouldn't be so stable. It should also be considered that it hasn't been born for very long.

“Buzz buzz buzz~ (Eating, eating, eating, the stars are so nice, can I stay by the stars' side forever? I am very obedient and useful.)” Bai Xi’s two little tentacles waved in mid-air, and Li Xingyu heard every word it said.

"Sure, our Bai Xi is so cute and feels great to the touch. I really like it." Li Xingyu carried Bai Xi to the kitchen, talking to it as she went.

"Bubbling~ (Then we'll be good friends from now on. I'm very powerful and I'll protect the stars.)" Upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, Bai Xi's translucent, purplish-black tentacles, shimmering with silver light, danced even more vigorously, and the color of her body turned into a beautiful watery red.

"So Bai Xi's face is a watery red when she's happy, she looks even cuter now." Li Xingyu took Xing He along when they passed by, chatting with Bai Xi while pulling him towards the kitchen. Xing He was now following closely behind Li Xingyu.

Although Xinghe didn't know what had happened, he could still sense that Li Xingyu was a little nervous and excited, because when he held his hand, the grip was a little stronger than before, though not by much.

That's right. Right now, all Li Xingyu can think about is eating. As for important matters, he only needs to tell his parents the information he thinks is important. She's still a baby and can't think about these things.

When I arrived at the restaurant, sure enough, people were already sitting in their chairs, the tables were clean and the tableware was set out.

"Grandpa Rice, Grandpa Hifer, we're back! Our dishes are ready, but they still need some final plating." Li Xingyu greeted the two people sitting in the chairs with a smile, and then whispered to Bai Xi, who was buried in her hand, about the strangers.

"It's alright, Bai Xi, don't be nervous. These are my two grandfathers. They're very kind. See that grandfather with green hair? He's a doctor. If you feel unwell anywhere, you can go to him. He's very skilled; there's no illness he can't cure." Li Xingyu sensed that Bai Xi was still a little nervous and introduced Rice to it, trying to distract it.

"Bu Bu? (Grandpa? Doctor? To cure illness?)" Bai Xi's attention was successfully diverted by Li Xingyu, and her tense mood turned into curiosity about Rice.

"Grandpa Rice, Grandpa Hifer, this is Bai Xi, a good friend that Grandpa Delas introduced to me." Li Xingyu introduced Bai Xi to Rice and Hifer in a tactful manner.

Why should we use euphemisms?

Because Delas didn't know that Bai Xi had self-awareness at first, he directly gave it to Li Xingyu.

However, this is not the fault of Delas, because there is very little information recorded about nebula energy bodies. If it weren't for the relatively complete information from Planet Berli, which is located between two nebulae, they wouldn't have been able to determine what Berli was.

As for specific information about nebula energy beings, they are very rare throughout the interstellar space. Moreover, this species is very mysterious because each of their appearances is different in color and ability, and even their self-awareness is intermittent, making it difficult to judge.

Bai Lixing's people have already left the Li family ancestral home. Because his level is not very high, he was unable to cope with the strong pressure from the divine-level spiritual power and ability users that permeated the Li family ancestral home from the inside out. So he left only a paper document and a brief message on the personal computer before leaving.

The paper documents are currently on the coffee table in the living room. Delas has already reviewed them carefully. Due to limitations in equipment and methods, it is not yet possible to specifically detect Bai Xi's abilities or whether she has self-awareness.

However, based on his confidence in his own abilities, the abilities of other family members, the defensive mechanisms of the Li family's ancestral home, and his inexplicable trust in Li Xingyu, Delas still placed Bai Xi, who was said to be quiet and not very dangerous, in her hands after observation.

Aside from Qingyao and Hanqing, probably no one knew that the influence of the lucky koi and the affinity with all things, as well as the language master skill, was also involved in this matter, although it only had a tiny, insignificant effect.

The lucky koi fish allowed Li Xingyu to meet Bai Xi in relatively good conditions, while the affinity of all things provided the prerequisites for their meeting and getting along. The language master served as the medium for their communication, enabling them to communicate correctly instead of talking at cross purposes.

Otherwise, given Bai Xi's current mindset and abilities, the Li family ancestral home wouldn't be so quiet and peaceful right now.

However, these things cannot be said directly now. Qingyao and Hanqing originally wanted to remind Li Xingyu, but seeing her behavior and thoughts, as well as the messages she vaguely conveyed to them, the two systems understood what Li Xingyu wanted to do.

Why did Li Xingyu pull Xinghe along? Because the roasted beggar's chicken was in his storage ring. Right now, nothing was more important than eating, unless it concerned his life and family.

But now, Bai Xi could clearly smell the aroma of food coming from the kitchen, and the whole ball was looking towards the kitchen with longing eyes.

Looking at Bai Xi's current state, Li Xingyu had an inopportune question: "Bai Xi, are these your hands? Where are your facial features?"

"If you don't understand, just ask." Li Xingyu pulled Xinghe towards the kitchen while openly and curiously observing Baixi.

Bai Xi was confused for a moment: "Bu? (Five senses?)"

"It's the eyes, nose, and mouth. How are you going to eat later? I'll prepare your utensils for you." Li Xingyu explained the meaning of the facial features to Bai Xi while stating her reasoning.

Li Xingyu vaguely sensed the danger posed by Bai Xi, but it was also Li Xingyu who truly regarded Bai Xi as a friend.

For Li Xingyu, danger and friendship are not mutually exclusive. Bai Xi is dangerous, but it's an intuitive feeling, not something directed at her.

Therefore, Li Xingyu did not show any thoughts or attitudes of rejecting or distancing herself from Bai Xi.

However, it was only after accepting Bai Xi's gift that Li Xingyu vaguely sensed the danger emanating from Bai Xi.

We've already accepted the gift, so we can't just return it and throw it away again, especially since it hasn't done anything dangerous.

"Alright, let's go prepare the beggar's chicken and pack it up. Then we can probably eat." Li Xingyu looked at Bai Xi's appearance and couldn't help but laugh and poke its little tentacles with her finger.

"Pop pop pop~ (Can I be with the stars?)" Bai Xi was poked by a small tentacle, and her purplish-black body showed signs of turning pink again, but she still couldn't help but rub against Li Xingyu's hand.

"Okay, you can stay on my shoulder, okay? I'll introduce you to the other little friends after we eat." Li Xingyu held Bai Xi in one hand, asking for its opinion, while pulling Xinghe along with the other hand.

However, our little feather is a polite and well-mannered child. Whenever she holds someone's hand, except for relatives, she holds their wrist, clothes, or accessories on their hand.

One reason is that our little feather isn't used to close contact with people, and the other is that she directly reversed her previous understanding of gender.

Li Xingyu's understanding and reversal were not problematic, because in fact they were quite similar. It was just that the women here had slightly worse physical qualities than the men, but their mental strength and fluctuations could compensate for that. Moreover, there was not much difference between a god-level mental power user and a god-level ability user.

The attitudes, views, and requirements towards men here are much stricter than those towards women in the places where Li Xingyu stayed before, to the point that Li Xingyu felt they were somewhat harsh.

Some women even trample on the dignity of their husbands and torment their bodies. How are they any different from men who commit domestic violence?

That's why Li Xingyu pays extra attention to the details when interacting with boys, so as not to have any negative impact on them. However, plans often don't go as expected.

And even if they might become your partners in the future, that's a matter for the future. Right now, we've only confirmed our relationship as guardians, and nothing else is in sight yet, so we definitely need to pay more attention to these aspects.

Upon entering the kitchen, Li Xingyu saw a counter full of dishes and Qin Fengshi and the others busily working.

"Grandpa, why is lunch so plentiful today? Are you still cooking?" Li Xingyu asked, somewhat surprised, looking at the dishes on the counter.

"No, aren't Huahua and the others preparing to leave? Since the storage spaces are all time-stopped anyway, we might as well make a little extra and distribute it in their storage spaces, just in case anything happens." Qin Fengshi heard Li Xingyu's voice and, just as the dishes in his hand were ready, he packed them into lunchboxes, closing the lids as he explained to Li Xingyu.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll prepare some food for my sister and brother-in-law this afternoon. This is the only place I'll be serving. Bai Xi, you can rest on my shoulder for a while, and we can eat soon." Li Xingyu nodded after hearing Qin Fengshi's explanation and placed Bai Xi, whom she had been supporting, on her shoulder.

"Bubbling~ Bubbling~ (Okay, I'll be a good girl. Is our food the same? If it is, we can use the same utensils.)" Bai Xi retracted her little tentacles and rubbed against Li Xingyu's neck when Li Xingyu was sure that their food was the same, her voice full of excitement.
