Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Pushing Yao Jun to the table and pouring a glass of water in front of him, Chen Xi turned around and went back to the kitchen. After a while, he brought in a bowl of vegetable porridge and placed it in front of Yao Jun.

Xiao Luo followed behind him, holding a tray with a stack of pancakes on it in both hands. She put it on the table without looking away, and then left without looking away.

When Chen Xi put down his chopsticks and wooden spoon and was about to leave, Yao Jun said, "Let's sit down and eat together. We can also chat."

"I'll eat with grandpa later. There's something else going on in the kitchen, so I'll go get busy." After saying that, Chen Xi turned around and quickly left the house.

Watching her leaving, Yao Jun felt a little lost, but when he smelled the wheat aroma of the pancakes and the aroma of the vegetable porridge on the table, he felt hungry again, so he picked up a pancake, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"It's very fragrant. The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. It would be even better if there were some green onions and soybean paste."

"Well, shrimp paste is also fine. I don't know if the little guy can make it. I'll ask him when I get a chance."

After eating a piece of pancake, Yao Jun picked up the wooden spoon and took another bite of vegetable porridge, his mouth full of fragrance. "Xiao Luo's vegetable porridge is really good enough to be cooked. Not bad."

Just as I took a bite, Chen Xi brought in the pickled vegetables and said, "The pickled vegetables are a little salty, so it's just right to eat them with a pancake."

Seeing that she was about to leave again after she finished speaking, Yao Jun hurriedly called out to her, "Call your grandfather and that maid to come and eat together."

"As you know, before I got injured, I often ran around outside, and there weren't so many rules."

"It's more lively when there are more people, we can chat and talk, and we can eat more."

Chen Xi said hesitantly: "I'll go out and ask, you can eat first, you don't have to wait for us."

After saying that, Chen Xi went to the kitchen. At this time, Grandpa Chen was squatting in front of the stove with a bowl of vegetable porridge in his hands and drinking it. Xiao Luo was eating a pancake with pickled vegetables in her hands.

"Grandpa, Xiaoluo, he asked us to go inside and eat together."

Xiao Luo quickly shook her head: "Miss, I dare not."

Grandpa Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Young Master is too high-ranking. We are just ordinary people and don't understand the rules of that class. If we offend him and blame him, we can't afford it."

Chen Xi also understood these. If Yao Jun hadn't mentioned it twice, she wouldn't have asked her grandfather and Xiao Luo.

"Okay, then I'll go in and keep him company. He's mentioned it twice, and we can't just not go alone."

Although Yao Jun was very approachable, Chen Xi didn't really want to have dinner with him. He always felt that he had too many concerns in his mind and couldn't enjoy the meal.

But since my grandfather and I are under his protection, it’s just a meal, it’s hard to refuse.

Chen Xi picked up a bowl of vegetable porridge, took the chopsticks and wooden spoon, turned back to the house, and sat down opposite Yao Jun.

Yao Jun was drinking vegetable porridge with a wooden spoon in one hand and eating a roll in the other. When he saw that only Chen Xi came in, he asked, "Where's your grandfather?"

Chen Xi picked up a pancake, stuffed it with pickled vegetables, and said, "My grandfather is old, and he's used to eating by the stove."

Why didn’t I have this habit when I was working in the shop before?

This fellow villager is not as honest as he seems. He started lying to himself the next day.

But Yao Jun was not angry. After thinking about it, he understood why Grandpa Chen didn't want to eat at the same table with him. He must be afraid.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to dispel the elderly’s concerns.

Take your time, Yao Jun said to himself, then lowered his head to eat.

While Chen Xi was eating, he secretly glanced at Yao Jun sitting opposite him. From the way he ate, one could tell that he had undergone a long period of etiquette training, but he was not the rigid type.

When he drank his porridge, he would slurp it, and when he ate his pancakes, he would chew them with big mouthfuls, without being bound by any etiquette or dogma.

However, the way he eats is still very nice to look at, and has some habits that are inexplicably familiar.

He looks a bit like Mr. Bai, Chen Xi muttered to himself as he lowered his head and drank a mouthful of vegetable porridge. The sound of his slurping echoed in the quiet room.

Yao Jun moved his lips, and finally smiled silently, then picked up the bowl of porridge and started slurping it.

This is how food tastes better!

Chen Xi looked up at him and felt inexplicably relieved. This guy was quite down-to-earth.

After lunch, Yao Jun reminded Chen Xi not to forget the dinner in the evening. If there were any ingredients or materials needed, she could just tell the servants to buy them. He told her not to leave the house, and then left.

Chen Xi, Grandpa Chen, and Xiao Luo escorted the person out of the yard together.

Looking at the attendants and guards escorting Yao Jun away, Grandpa Chen sighed: "I didn't expect to be able to eat in the same courtyard with a person like Gongzi Jun. It's a great honor."

Xiao Luo tensed her face and nodded seriously, "Yes, I never thought that Young Master would be able to drink the vegetable porridge I cooked!"

Chen Xi closed the courtyard door and said, "On the other hand, he is lucky to be able to eat in the same courtyard with Grandpa and eat the vegetable porridge made by Xiao Luo."

"No matter how noble a person is, he still has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and he has a nose and a mouth. There's nothing special about him, he just has a good family background."

Grandpa Chen straightened his face and said, "Xixi, don't say that carelessly. Don't let anyone hear it and tell on you to Young Master."

"I know. Grandpa, you go inside and have a rest. I'll clean the kitchen." Chen Xi hugged Grandpa Chen's arm and said coquettishly, not taking what he said just now seriously at all.

Although Chen Xi still couldn't figure out what Yao Jun's attitude towards her was, she was at least sure that he wouldn't blame her because of a few words.

At most, we can find an opportunity to punish and educate them, but the method of punishment and education is rather special and not convenient for others to see.

After coaxing grandpa to go inside to rest, Chen Xi and Xiao Luo cleaned the kitchen quickly, then went back to the house and went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.

This courtyard is not big, but very quiet. There are many flowers planted nearby, and you can see a rockery not far away.

The house in the courtyard is a two-story building built of wood and stone. The first floor is the living room, study, and two bedrooms for servants.

There are four bedrooms on the second floor, two master bedrooms and two guest bedrooms or for maids.

The room Chen Xi lives in is the master bedroom. As soon as you open the window, you can see flowers and rockery. The scenery is very nice.

After sending Xiao Luo to rest, Chen Xi sat at the desk and started writing and drawing.

She had slept for a long time in Yao Jun's arms in the morning and was not sleepy now. She was just thinking about what to cook in the evening in an attempt to win Gongzi Jun's stomach in one fell swoop.

Because he didn't know Yao Jun's taste preferences, Chen Xi planned to prepare a few different dishes.

I had just written about the lion's head and mutton meatball soup when I became distracted by the scenery outside the window, recalling the dream I had in the morning.

Although she couldn't remember many parts of the dream, she always felt that she had forgotten some things, such as the person who rescued her from the water, whom she could not remember at all.

"That day, Tianmei took me out to play. When we were on the boat, I accidentally fell into the water because of the excessive shaking. Just when I thought I was going to drown, someone rescued me."

"But who saved me? Why can't I remember anything at all?"

As he was thinking, Chen Xi suddenly felt a headache like in a dream. He quickly stopped thinking about it, and the pain went away.

"Did I lose my memory? But why did I forget only the person who saved me?"

"strangeness."

Muttering, Chen Xi looked down at the cloth on the table. There were still only two dishes on it. "Let's prepare the soup first. I'll think about it while it's cooking."

Putting down the pen, Chen Xi went downstairs alone without calling Xiao Luo.

On the other side, after Yao Jun left, he did not return to the main house, but walked deep into the inner house.

Sitting sideways in a wheelchair, Yao Jun squinted his eyes lazily and said, "Send all the outsiders in the house back, and then have Jialuo check the house inside and out. Don't let any fish slip through the net."

After receiving the order, an attendant turned around and ran away.

When the sound of chains was heard from the front, Yao Jun raised his hand to stop, then stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and strode forward. The attendants and guards stayed where they were and did not follow him.

After Yao Jun passed through a lush bamboo forest, a double wooden door appeared in front of him. Eight soldiers in black robes and golden armor were guarding the door. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly pushed open the door.

After Yao Jun walked into the gate, the wooden door was closed again.
