Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 155 The 155th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

However, Yufinar had done his homework beforehand. He knew that Ryan was a god-level plant-type ability user and a professor in the Department of Plant Science at Jingzhou University, so he had a deep understanding of plants.

However, what Yufinal didn't know was that Ryan was only alive now because he hadn't seen the Demon Thorn Fruit many times. He had eaten it, but a long time had passed, and he had no way to cultivate it himself. Ryan both loved and hated this plant.

Ryan was both eager and helpless about this plant. After all, he had no other god-level succubi at home except for Si Zian, and she was rarely home, so there was no way to grow it. But now it was different. Yu Fenar had come and would be staying here for quite some time.

Ryan was already planning what he could offer in exchange for Yufinar to grow a Magic Thorn Fruit Tree. The rare and difficult-to-grow plant was very tempting to Ryan.

Then we'll ask Azi if he's interested in planting a few Demon Thorn Fruit trees. After all, these things need a God-level Succubus around them all the time, otherwise they'll die at the slightest provocation. Even the fruit needs the aura of a God-level Succubus, otherwise it will spoil in no time.

However troublesome and not very attractive the fruit may be, its taste and effects are outstanding, and it has many uses. It can also be used to forge some special items. Moreover, the Magic Thorn Fruit Tree itself is a plant that combines ornamental and practical uses.

Apart from Yufinal, Li Xingyu and Xinghe, seeing Ryan's current state, roughly understood that the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree was probably a rare or very difficult plant to cultivate.

Si Zian was secretly considering whether she should plant some magic thorn fruit trees at the Li family's ancestral home after a while, as Ryan seemed a bit too excited.

Ryan has always had a strong interest in plants. Back then, he even kept asking Si Zian about the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree and some other plants unique to the Succubus race. He seemed to have promised to plant them for him, but later, due to the war, he not only failed to keep his promise, but they also spent less and less time together.

Thinking about this, Si Zian felt a little uneasy and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Now that he was retired, he estimated that if he stayed here for about a year without concealing his aura, he should be able to meet the conditions for planting the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree.

'Speaking of which... Yue, Ryan, and Rice seem to really like eating Demon Thorn Fruit, so let's plant more of them then. However, if Nar doesn't conceal his aura, it might take three to five months. I'll find some time to discuss it with him.' Si Zi'an made up her mind about this.

"Okay, thank you, Nar." Ryan then carefully took a magic thorn fruit from the plate on the coffee table, examining it from all angles, occasionally poking at the sharp thorns while muttering to himself, immediately immersing himself in his own world.

"Hmm... Grandpa Ryan gets like this when he encounters a plant he likes, or a rare plant. You don't need to worry about these details. By the way, what does this Demon Thorn Fruit Tree look like? Why does it produce fruit like this?" Li Xingyu looked at Ryan's fascinated expression with a mixture of helplessness and admiration.

The universe contains a wide variety of plants. Even if interstellar beings have long lifespans, they may not be able to see all of them in their lifetime. This is partly because the number of plants is too vast, partly because some species are extremely rare, and partly because some plants have demanding growing conditions.

Some of them can only be cultivated or grown by a specific race, such as the Demon Thorn Fruit, yes, that's what I'm talking about.

“Ah… I see. Then I’ll give these Demon Thorn Fruits to Grandpa Ryan. I have plenty more in my storage space. I’ll collect the pits from the leftovers and see if I can plant them here.” Yufinal glanced hesitantly at Ryan, who was engrossed in studying the Demon Thorn Fruits, before nodding.

"Huh? What do Little Feather and Nar want from me?" Ryan was about to break off a thorn from the Demon Thorn Fruit to take a closer look when he seemed to hear Little Feather and Nar calling him.

"Hmm... Grandpa Ryan, you're too obsessed with all sorts of strange and unusual plants. Yufinal said he wanted to give you this plate so you can study it slowly." Li Xingyu was a little helpless and didn't know what to say. She had just talked so much with Yufinal, and it seemed that Grandpa Ryan had only heard his name.

"Hmm? You don't need so many, two will be enough." Ryan was surprised when he heard Li Xingyu's words, and then he refused. What was going on with giving all of the kid's snacks to him?

“It’s alright, Grandpa Ryan, I have plenty more here. My family grows magic thorn fruit trees. After all, it tastes good, and it also has healing, restorative, and a tiny bit of soothing effects for us succubi. So the area planted is quite considerable, and the yield is quite good. It’s more than enough to be self-sufficient.” Yufinal shook his head, not caring too much about it. To prove his words, he took out a basket of magic thorn fruit from his storage space and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

“Ah? Since Nar has said so, then Grandpa will accept it first. Here, these are for you. The jujubes I researched before have just ripened this year. They taste and feel very good, and they are also good for your health. You can eat them slowly. I’ll go back to my room first.” Ryan took out a basket of round, dark red and yellow-green winter jujubes from his storage space. At a glance, each one was about 4 centimeters in diameter.

"Wow~ I love this! Thank you, Grandpa Ryan. Remember to come out for dinner then." Li Xingyu's eyes lit up when she saw the jujubes. She happily waved to Ryan, who had nodded to them and then turned to leave with the magic thorn fruit.

"Hmm...Does Little Feather really like eating dates?" Xinghe and Yufinal both looked thoughtful. After hesitating for a moment, Yufinal finally asked.

"Hmm, Xinghe~ I like eating this. We can also make some dried fruit, nuts, and other snacks. They're delicious and healthy." Li Xingyu nodded and responded. Unable to bear Xinghe's excited cheers any longer, she called out to him in a resentful tone before continuing her sentence.

Yufinal and Xinghe, along with Liyue, Che, and Cain behind them, all nodded in understanding. Very good, this is the first thing that Li Xingyu has clearly expressed his liking for. Keep up the good work!

"Hmm? Li Yue, Che, and Cain, you're downstairs too. Dinner will have to wait a little longer. Great-Grandma, Grandma, and Grandpa still have things to take care of. Would you like some dates? I'll go wash them." Li Xingyu noticed the commotion at the bottom of the stairs, turned around, and saw Li Yue, Che, and Cain walking towards them. She gestured to them with the dates in her hand, a faint smile on her face.

“We’ll definitely try what Xingyu likes to eat. But Xingyu, just sit down. Please leave small tasks like washing fruit to us. Even if Xingyu is a woman, we are your guardians. You’re still a little cub, so we need to show our role and abilities, okay?” Cain was the first to come to Li Xingyu, with a standard smile on his face, his expression gentle yet helpless.

Si Zian, Xinghe, Tian Shu, Li Yue, Che, and You Fei Naer nodded seriously, indicating their agreement with Cain's words. Girls should just enjoy life and not force themselves to do things against their own will.

Besides, they're not just decorations; they're all alive and well, with hands and feet. How could it be her turn, a little kid, to wash fruit for them? Don't they have any shame? They should at least wait until the other child is a bit older, otherwise their consciences will bother them.

"Ouch~" Li Xingyu was a little slow to react. Under the disapproving gazes of Si Zian and the others, she put the dates back into the basket and subconsciously nodded in response.

Seeing Li Xingyu sitting obediently on the sofa, the men present nodded in satisfaction and then began to tidy up the jujubes in the basket.

Half was given to Li Xingyu, as she liked to eat it. This allocation ratio was reached despite Li Xingyu's strong opposition, since it was given to Yu Fennar by Ryan in exchange. If she wanted to eat it, she could only eat a little bit now, and then go to the orchard in a few days to pick as much as she wanted and store it in her storage space and mustard seed space.

The rest was divided into two portions. One portion was kept by Yufinal, which was Li Xingyu's special request, since it was obtained in exchange for his Demon Thorn Fruit.

After sorting, the rest were washed, put in a basket with a lining, and placed on the coffee table.

Tian Shu, Che, and Cain washed the dates, while Yu Fenar took another plate, filled it with Demon Thorn Fruit, and said he needed to go to the kitchen to process it first, and then followed them.

Only Si Zian, Li Xingyu, and Xinghe remained in the living room.

Si Zian and Xinghe saw Li Xingyu selecting a video, but they didn't say anything. They just silently observed the file that Li Xingyu opened on the projection wall, wondering whether they should copy it to their own personal computers.

Otherwise, we should just ask Little Feather directly. In the future, if we have anything good, we should ask her first and exchange it for those things. It seems like a pretty good deal.

Hearing Xinghe's thoughts, Li Xingyu glanced at him helplessly, then turned on her personal computer, sent a few files to the family group and the guardian group, and continued to choose her own animation.

As for the live stream, Li Xingyu kept it on, but she set the live stream to a computer privacy mode, which, as the name suggests, would not display any content on the computer screen, so she didn't seem to care.

Xinghe was thinking about how to ask Li Xingyu for something, since he was still a little embarrassed. Then he noticed Li Xingyu looking down at him, coughed awkwardly, and looked at the projection wall.

'Oh dear, I forgot that Little Feather can hear what I'm thinking. I feel so stupid just now, but Little Feather is so sweet, I like him even more now.' Xinghe almost cried because of his own stupidity. Because Li Xingyu had never done anything special in response to his thoughts, Xinghe usually forgot about it and would think about strange things without any restraint.

Hearing Xinghe's somewhat frustrated thoughts, Li Xingyu couldn't help but smile: 'Oh ho~ It seems Xinghe's thoughts aren't just about her family and the alliance. That's quite amusing.'

Since she was able to hear Xinghe's thoughts, Li Xingyu has heard the most about the Li family members in Xinghe's mind, especially about her. Another topic is the Alliance, and there are many other things that should be classified. Li Xingyu said that she didn't mean to, and they couldn't control it either.

The first part made her feel both natural and shy—it was her home, after all—but the fact that it concerned her was too embarrassing. The second part made Li Xingyu uneasy; was it really okay for her to hear these things?

Li Xingyu also went to ask Xinghe about it. Xinghe wasn't too surprised by the matter. Instead, he seriously explained the relevant laws and regulations to Li Xingyu. Moreover, many things in the Li family are confidential.

Taking this opportunity, Xinghe and Li Qingyue told Li Xingyu a lot about places and things that the Li family couldn't appear in live broadcasts, photos, or texts, which made Li Xingyu's head spin.

Although there were no internal troubles, only external threats, there were still many things that were not suitable for the public to see, especially since the war was coming to an end and the alliance wanted peace, so it also controlled some things.

"Yes, thank you, Little Feather." Xinghe's ears were red, and her voice was barely audible.

Si Zian watched Li Xingyu's actions and the message notification that popped up on her personal computer. Then she noticed Li Xingyu's gaze at Xinghe and Xinghe's reaction. She roughly knew what was going on and had a look of reminiscence and a maternal smile on her face.

'Oh dear~ the shyness and troubles of youth, it's so nostalgic~' Si Zian glanced at the five people who came out of the kitchen, as if she saw her own youthful and naive self through them.

“We’ve already washed the fruit. Oh, by the way, Little Feather, didn’t you want to know what a Demon Thorn Fruit tree looks like? I have a picture in my personal terminal, I’ll show it to you.” Yufinal placed a plate of prepared Demon Thorn Fruit on the coffee table in front of Li Xingyu.

Just now, because Ryan was engrossed in studying the Demon Thorn Fruit, Yufinar almost forgot about it. It was only when he and Tian Shu were washing the dates that they inadvertently brought up the topic of the Demon Thorn Fruit tree, and he remembered that Li Xingyu seemed to be quite curious about the Demon Thorn Fruit tree.

Originally, Tian Shu and the others planned to help Yu Fenar deal with the Demon Thorn Fruit, but unfortunately, only the Succubus could come, so there was really no other way.

Washing the dates didn't take too long, and they couldn't leave Yufinal alone in the kitchen, so they chatted casually. Since Yufinal was dealing with the magic thorn fruit, the conversation naturally turned to the fruit.
