Chapter 250 The 25th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
"Hmm? What's wrong? Sometimes older people also want to participate in the relaxing activities that young people do." Li Manzhou remained indifferent to the gazes directed at her.
“Yes, Manman is right, but we’re not so old that we can’t move. We can stay with you for a very long time.” Bellanette, on the other side of Li Manzhou, strongly agreed with Li Manzhou’s words.
After a period of rest and recuperation, Bellanette has almost fully recovered.
Not to mention that Rice had already healed Bellanette's body before he returned home, and after returning home, Rice paid even more attention to his physical condition and helped him recuperate.
While physical injuries and abnormalities can be healed with abilities and medicine, some of Bellanette's instinctive reactions in combat still require time to adjust and adapt to.
Otherwise, things that no one really wants to see might happen.
"Alright, alright, Great-Grandma, you're right. We can start preparing now. Besides, I'm a little worried that a month might not be enough." Li Xingyu looked at the two old children in the family and exchanged a helpless glance with Li Qingyue.
Is it true that a person's personality can revert to that of a child as they get older?
"Alright, Ayu and the others should have already prepared breakfast. Let's discuss it after breakfast." Li Qingyue ruffled Li Xingyu's slightly frizzy head, making it look even fluffier, and changed the subject.
The others were discussing today's arrangements and picnic preparations when Li Qingyue spoke up, and everyone got up and headed to the restaurant.
This morning, breakfast was prepared by five people: Rice, Fox Yu, Si Zian, Xinghe, and Michael.
Breakfast at the table, while adhering to the standards of nutritional balance and a combination of meat and vegetables, mainly consists of light pasta dishes.
It looks healthy and nutritious.
Yes, that's Rice's style.
Looking at the breakfast spread out on the table as expected, Li Xingyu followed Li Manzhou and the others to her seat with an "I knew it" expression on her face.
However, eating too much oil and salt so early in the morning is not good, so it's perfect to indulge a little more at noon.
It's really hard not to suspect that Rice didn't prepare breakfast after seeing the news about their picnic.
Li Xingyu is the kind of person who is very easy to take care of, as long as you don't feed her any foods that contain tomatoes or bitter ingredients.
Of course, food that is too unpalatable or too bizarre is also not a good option.
They are not too picky about food.
Li Manzhou and the others haven't yet discovered a dish or flavor they like. They used to eat even nutritious porridge as their staple food, so they're not going to change that quickly.
Moreover, they were all veterans of war, so for them, any non-toxic food that could provide energy was already quite good.
No matter what kind of change it is, it should be done gradually and not rushed.
A harmonious and warm breakfast was spent with everyone looking forward to and preparing for the picnic.
"Hey, Qingyao, Hanqing, Ling, since we're having a picnic, do you three want to use your energy points to buy a body?" Li Xingyu and Che were on their way to the fifth floor to find Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi when she mentally poked Qingyao.
In Li Xingyu's consciousness, Qingyao and the others were all little balls emitting a faint light, while Qingyao, Hanqing, and Ling saw each other as human beings.
The difference arises because Li Xingyu uses his conscious awareness to sense things, while Qingyao and the others use their eyes to see.
Qingyao and the others had just finished breakfast and were chatting and resting.
Then Qingyao felt her arm being gently poked: 'Little Xingyu, your suggestion is good, okay? Do you have any species requirements?'
Qingyao gently pulled the small tentacle, which was a little distance away from her arm, into her hand and curiously poked it with her finger.
"No, you can choose whichever you like." Li Xingyu only felt her little tentacles being gently pulled and poked, but she didn't feel anything else.
"Alright, then you'll be here because we attracted you. Make some new friends." Li Xingyu manipulated his consciousness tentacles to rub against the things that were holding him, making an excuse for Qingyao and the others.
"Okay, after we finish eating, we'll reclaim our bodies so we can use them again later." Han Qing looked at the small tentacle in Qing Yao's hand that emitted a faint golden light, and his heart was itching to poke it.
Zero, standing next to Han Qing, reacted in the same way.
So cute, I want to pet it.
Sensing Han Qing and Ling's emotions, Li Xingyu shook her little tentacles in confusion and peered towards them.
Since his mental sea only contained Qingyao, Hanqing, and Ling, he was perfectly safe, so Li Xingyu had nothing to fear.
Then Han Qing and Ling's fingers poked into Li Xingyu's consciousness tentacles.
"Pfft, then you can prepare a little. We're all connected by a telepathic connection, and I'll call you through that connection when the time comes." Li Xingyu let the three of them do as they pleased, then suddenly poked himself.
This feeling is wonderful and fresh, like a tangible, warm breeze caressing the soul, bringing a gentle and warm sensation.
"Okay, let's go prepare now." Zero said excitedly before going to talk to the world consciousness.
Because Qingyao and Hanqing are already bound to Li Xingyu, they can exist in any form that does not violate the rules of this world.
Ling is slightly different from Qingyao and Hanqing. If she wants to have a physical form, she needs to inform the world consciousness in order to avoid causing any trouble.
Even though Zero is the main system of the Time Management Bureau, he still has the heart of an old father when facing the world consciousness. After all, he has existed for too long and has watched the world consciousness grow.
It would be bad if a single sentence triggered its own defense mechanism.
"Alright, I'm going to pick out my favorite body too. See you this afternoon, Xingyu." Ling returned just as Li Xingyu and Che arrived at Haoyue's room. After saying this, she excitedly went to choose her own body.
"Okay, take your time choosing." Li Xingyu knocked on the door and answered.
"Little Feather, Haoyue and the others are probably still sleeping. Let's just go in." Che and Li Xingyu waited for about a minute, but there was no movement from inside the door. Che had an expression of expectation on his face.
When Che first arrived here, he went to find Haoyue and the others as soon as he finished exercising, but none of the three were awake. Later, he specifically asked about their daily routine.
"Okay, Haoyue and the others should be very happy to hear this news." Although Li Xingyu knew Haoyue and the others' schedule and access permissions to their rooms, she still habitually knocked on the door first.
The two reached out and pushed open the door, revealing a small living room that was completely empty of cats.
Li Xingyu and Che sensed the exact location of the life form in the room before heading towards Haoyue.
Although she knew that cats weren't too picky about where they rested, Li Xingyu was still amazed when she saw Haoyue, with half her body on top of the wardrobe and the other half hanging upside down in mid-air.
"Wow, is Haoyue's sleeping posture so unique? But isn't it a little unsafe?" Li Xingyu asked Che, who was enthusiastically taking pictures next to her, with a somewhat hesitant tone.
"Oh? It's alright, this height is no problem for Haoyue at all. Little Feather, do you want to see how it slept when I came to find it before? I took pictures of it." Che took pictures without pausing for a moment, taking one from every angle.
"Yes." Li Xingyu answered very quickly, then leaned closer to Che to look at the photos he had pulled up.
Because he has always been collecting beautiful things around him, Che's photo album contains many photos he took here.
Li Xingyu didn't have any intention of prying into other people's privacy, but Che had put all the photos together and she accidentally glanced at a few.
"It's alright, these photos were taken recently, and Xiao Yu is one of the main characters, so there's nothing to hide." Che smiled and shook his head as he watched Li Xingyu's little gesture of shifting her gaze.
"Hehe, I was just afraid of accidentally seeing Che's little secret. Besides, even if I were the one in question, I had already agreed to it." Li Xingyu looked away somewhat embarrassed.
Che simply smiled and glanced at Li Xingyu, without denying her words.
For Haoyue and the others, Li Xingyu and his companions' aura and fluctuations were familiar and safe presences, and Li Xingyu would occasionally visit Haoyue and the others' room to play with them.
So although Haoyue sensed that someone had entered her room, she didn't have any subconscious, violent reaction. She just twitched her ears and then fell asleep again.
"...This one is really special, can you send it to me?"
"...Okay, there's more to come."
"Oh, this is so cute! Can you send it to me too? I'll make it into an emoji and send it back to you."
"Haha, of course you can, but Haoyue and the others look good no matter how you take the picture."
……
Haoyue felt as if someone was speaking in her ear, and the voice was unusually familiar and becoming clearer and clearer. She couldn't help but twitch her ears and open her eyes.
Li Xingyu and Che were so engrossed in looking at the photos that they completely forgot why they came here in the first place.
Che truly lives up to his reputation as a plush toy lover among the merfolk; at least half of the photos in his album feature Haoyue and the others.
"Meow~ (Stars, Fish, why are you looking for me now? Is something wrong?)" Haoyue's still sleepy voice rang out in the room.
Li Xingyu and Che had changed from standing to sitting cross-legged on the carpet, and looked up together when they heard the sound.
"Ah, Haoyue, we've come to ask if you'd like to have a picnic with us."
"Ahem, then I looked at the photos Che took for you guys and lost track of time. Sorry for disturbing your sleep." Li Xingyu put away her personal terminal apologetically, making sure to save the photos Che sent before doing so.
"Haoyue, do you want to come with us?" Che sat on the fluffy carpet, his hands supporting him on either side, looking up at Haoyue on the cabinet with a soft smile on his face.
The blackout curtains in the room were all drawn because Haoyue was asleep.
However, there was a small nightlight in the room, and the room's decor and door also provided some light, so the room was not dark.
At this moment, the smart system in the room detected that Haoyue had woken up from her sleep, and the curtains were slowly drawn open.
As the curtains were drawn back, bright and warm sunlight streamed in, bathing the two people and the cat in a soft glow.
The curtains were drawn open at a speed that took into account how quickly people inside the room could adapt to the light, so that Li Xingyu and the others did not experience the shock of a sudden bright light.
Moreover, Li Xingyu and Che were facing away from the window, while Haoyue was facing the window from the side.
The conversation between the two people and the cat continued.
However, upon seeing the scene before him, Li Xingyu quietly released the levitating ball, found a good angle, and took a picture.
"Meow meow meow? (Picnic, what's that? Is it another fun thing that Xingxing came up with?)" Haoyue adjusted her posture and jumped down from the top of the nearly two-meter-high wardrobe.
When Haoyue jumped down, its original size of about 30 or 40 centimeters suddenly increased.
When Haoyue stood in front of Li Xingyu and Che, who were still sitting, it was already a bit taller than the two of them.
“A picnic is when you bring food from home and eat outside, a bit like when we first went to find Congqian and the others.” Li Xingyu leaned forward and nestled into Haoyue’s chest.
Che watched with wide eyes, wondering if this was how it could be played.
They were rubbing their hands together, eager to try.
Li Xingyu had buried herself in Haoyue's chest more than once or twice, and Haoyue was used to it now.
Haoyue still had some spare attention for Che, so she flicked her tail and wrapped it around Che's shoulder, then pulled him towards her.
"Thank you, Haoyue." Che buried himself in Haoyue's fluffy, warm fur, took a deep breath, and thanked her with a look of enjoyment and happiness.
"Meow meow meow~ (You're welcome. Although Fishy isn't as good as Star, she's still very good. Cats allow you to stick to her.)" Haoyue rubbed against Li Xingyu and Che, her tone haughty.
"Meow meow meow. (The picnic is at noon today, right? I want to go, and we've made a new friend, a person with horns... and a bunch of dogs. Can I invite them?)" Haoyue flicked her tail, which she had already let go of Che's, and blinked.
"A person with horns and a pack of dogs? I should know who that is. Of course, it's fine. The picnic is at noon today. If Haoyue has any other friends she knows, she can invite them too." Li Xingyu was confused for a moment after hearing Haoyue's description, but then agreed.
If nothing unexpected happens, Haoyue's new friends should be Li Luyou and the five puppies she met before. What a coincidence!
However, Haoyue didn't seem to like those puppies very much; her unnatural tone was palpable.
Haha, that's to be expected, felines and canines getting along.
"So, Haoyue, do you want to continue sleeping, get up, or go invite your friends?" Che asked casually, holding one of Haoyue's front paws.
"Meow meow meow~ (Of course, I'll get up and invite my friends. Xingxing and Yuyu should be going to find Xiaohei and Baixi next, right?)" Haoyue was a little helpless about Li Xingyu and Che clinging to her, but she let them do as they pleased.
