Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

After Yao Jun left with his attendants and guards, Chen Xi stood there for a moment, then turned back to the courtyard, locked the door, and went to process the pig skin to make pig skin jelly.

When you do things seriously, you won't think too much, and you will feel fulfilled. You won't feel empty because of the gap in your heart.

Xiao Luo saw that her young lady was in a bad mood, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Young lady, how come the relationship between Grandpa and Young Master Jun has become so good?"

How did it get better? Chen Xi also wanted to know, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The door was closed before, and even Master Mu Zhao was kicked out."

Hearing this, Xiao Luo asked tentatively, "Could it be that Master Jun proposed to Grandpa in the house? And Grandpa agreed!"

Chen Xi, who was removing fat from the pig skin, froze and suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he continued to work without showing any emotion and said calmly, "Maybe, who knows."

Xiao Luo looked at Chen Xi strangely. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she suddenly realized that the young lady seemed to have changed.

In the past, when something big happened, even if she didn't show any emotion, one could tell from many details that she was pretending.

But now it is hard to tell whether she is pretending to be calm or really has no idea at all.

Just as Xiao Luo was thinking, she heard Chen Xi say again: "Yao Jun said he's going out of town to play tomorrow, are you going?"

Xiao Luo thought about it, shook her head and said, "I'll stay and take care of grandpa."

"......That's good. With you around, grandpa can feel more at ease." Chen Xi said.

Xiao Luo smiled happily and said, "Xiao Luo is very important to Miss. You must not abandon Xiao Luo in the future."

Chen Xi smiled and glanced at her, then said, "Got it, get to work."

With the clever Xiao Luo making jokes on the side, Chen Xi gradually put his worries aside, regained his former agility, and worked steadily and quickly.

After returning to the main house, Yao Jun called Jialuo and asked him who Chen Xi had met and where he had been today.

Ever since Lord Yao ordered Jialuo to protect Chen Xi, there have been people keeping an eye on her and everything and everyone around her, both in the house and in the palace.

Jia Luo: "After Miss Xi went to the palace with you this morning, she never had any contact with anyone alone, except when she demonstrated her skills and went to the small courtyard you borrowed from Lord Chen."

"On the way to the courtyard, I had a conversation with Chen Rong from the same branch. When I first entered the palace to study, Chen Rong protected Miss Xi."

"When cooking in the courtyard, there were attendants watching over them. The cooks were very obedient and no one said anything nonsense."

"After you came back, Miss Xi started preparing lunch. After lunch, she went upstairs to rest for a while, and then started preparing dinner."

"During this period, he only contacted me a few times and asked me to prepare some ingredients and spices, nothing else."

Chen Xi's experience that day was simple. She did not go anywhere alone, nor did she spend time alone with others, and no strangers approached her.

What went wrong?

Yao Jun frowned and asked, "Jia Luo, have you noticed Xiao Xi's changes? When did it start?"

Jia Luo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt on one knee and apologized: "My lord, I failed in my duty, please punish me!"

With his brows furrowed even deeper, Yao Jun asked coldly, "What job did you lose?"

Jia Luo lowered his head and replied: "I didn't notice any changes in Miss Xi. You asked me to protect Miss Xi, but I didn't notice these things. This is my dereliction of duty."

"I will pay closer attention to Miss Xi's every move in the future and never make this kind of mistake again!"

"Please punish me now, my Lord, so that I will remember this lesson!"

Yao Jun's eyes turned dark in an instant, staring at Jialuo who was kneeling on the ground. This was the secret agent he had trained personally, who was absolutely loyal to him and would execute any of his orders perfectly.

So Yao Jun knew Jialuo's abilities. If he said that he didn't see any changes, Yao Jun would believe it, and Jialuo would not dare to lie in front of him!

Then there is only one possibility, this change is aimed at some special thing or someone!

For example, him!

Moreover, this change was probably not caused by external influences, but rather some changes in Chen Xi himself.

This is a bit difficult. Yao Jun rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "I won't punish you. I'm more relieved to leave her safety to you. Don't let me down, understand?"

Jia Luo: "I know!"

"I'm going back to the room. We're going out of town for fun tomorrow. You go downstairs and get ready." Yao Jun got up from the wheelchair and walked towards the back room. The attendant hurriedly followed, pushing the wheelchair.

Only after Yao Jun left did Jialuo stand up, turn around and leave the main house into the night.

After returning to the bedroom, he washed up, changed into white underwear, turned off the lights and lay down on the bed. Yao Jun tossed and turned, feeling a little insomniac. He got up and walked to the desk, opened the window, looked at the stars in the sky, and began to daydream.

Although he has been with many women, Bai Meng has never pursued any of them, nor has he experienced what it is like to be in love.

What broke his heart the most was the death of Yan Huan, which left Jun alone as a child.

The person who worries him the most is Zi Luan, and because Li Muyu is somewhat similar to her, he loves her and her family as well.

Chen Xi like this is another experience, completely different from other experiences. I want to attract her attention and show my best side in front of her, but I am afraid that she will see the real me.

"Maybe I should approach her as Jun Ye, maybe she will accept me."

The lame leg is fake, but the disfigurement is real. Although the system can heal him, it refuses, which makes people feel helpless.

All sorts of messy thoughts popped up in Yao Jun's mind, making him anxious and worried, and also stirring up the negative emotions in his heart.

"Whether she accepts me or not, she can only be mine!"

Yao Jun stood up and opened the door. The night watchman was about to step forward, but he waved him off, "No one should follow me."

The attendants and guards retracted their steps, feeling very nervous, but they did not dare to disobey their master's orders.

After leaving the main house, Yao Jun jumped onto the roof. In the flash of a tall white shadow, he ran dozens of meters.

A few minutes later, Yao Jun appeared in front of the rockery and strolled in the quiet garden. The sound of insects chirped all around him, and his anxious mood calmed down a little.

After walking around, Yao Jun went to the pavilion on the rockery and sat down. In the dark and quiet courtyard, the only sounds were the occasional footsteps of the guards passing by and the light of fire.

On the other side, Chen Xi cut the processed pig skin into shreds and poured it into the boiling water in the pot. He boiled it for about an hour, took it out and put it in an earthen basin, added ground salt and homemade spices, and then placed it against the wall, covered it with wooden boards and pressed it down with stones.

Chen Xi stood up and clapped his hands, looking at the two large pots of pork skin jelly that had not yet solidified, calculating the time in his mind. With the current temperature, it would be ready to eat tomorrow morning.

Then Chen Xi went back to the kitchen and asked Xiao Luo to boil a pot of hot water for them to wash up. She went to take a look at the braised pig's and sheep's heads, cut a little from each with the knives in the kitchen, and tasted them.

"Yeah, that's good. I can cut some for the road tomorrow morning."

Then Chen Xi cut a pig's ear, covered the pot, threw the pig's ear on the chopping board, cut it into shreds, put it in a bowl, poured plum vinegar on it, took the bowl, walked over to Xiao Luo and squatted down.

"Let's eat secretly and don't tell anyone."

"Okay miss, I won't tell anyone!" Xiao Luo patted her chest and promised.

Chen Xi laughed slyly, "Did you see how happily Yao Jun and Yao Muchao and his son ate today?"

Xiao Luo nodded vigorously, Master Mu Zhao was so full.

Chen Xi said with sparkling eyes: "As long as we control their stomachs, we will have a good life in the future!"

Xiao Luo said seriously: "Miss, I will learn cooking skills from you!"

"Well, let's work hard together!" Chen Xi picked up a piece of pig ear and put it into his mouth and said.
