"Tang Ying, why haven't you started eating yet?" After saying the news that was explosive enough for Tang Ying to hear, Wen Xingyao enjoyed the breakfast in front of him as if nothing had happened.
After he took a few mouthfuls of the thick rice porridge, bit off half of the poached egg, and picked up a steamed bun and dipped it in the sauce he had prepared himself, he found that Tang Ying, who had always been enthusiastic about eating breakfast, was still sitting stupidly in his seat without any movement.
So I asked curiously.
Tang Ying quickly came back to his senses, sighed heavily in frustration, looked at Bai Li with pity, and muttered, "What else should I eat? You're almost full of dog food, right?"
Tsk tsk, there are so many juicy cabbages, how come they were... taken away?
What he said about dog food is also well-founded.
First, Wen Xingyao got up early in the morning to work in the kitchen, wasn't it to prepare food for Bai Li later? Second, he wanted to eat a basket of steamed dumplings but was not allowed to, and it was only after Bai Li agreed that Wen Xingyao reluctantly gave him another box. Third, Wen Xingyao took his breakfast and Bai Li's breakfast in front of him, but left his alone, even though there was still some space on the big tray!
In the end, until now, Tang Ying slowly realized that the gazes between the two people were indeed much more disgusting than before last night! Seeing this, he, a single man, was covered with goose bumps.
Humph, he would never admit that he was a little envious.
"Oh, then don't eat it." Wen Xingyao ignored Tang Ying's strange mood, picked up another steamed bun and started eating.
"Oh my god! How can you be so inhumane? It's so great to have a partner! Let go of that steamed bun and let me come!"
When Tang Ying heard this, he didn't care about the entanglement anymore, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to fight for it. Those steamed buns were obtained with great difficulty based on his broken heart as a single dog, how could he give them up so easily?
March 7th, sunny.
Song Xinran got off the spaceship and stepped onto the land of "Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs Star" again.
Half a month ago, he went back home because someone in his family was celebrating a birthday. Afterwards, his parents forced him to stay for a few more days because they couldn't bear to let him go. He only came back from "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star" today.
Thinking of the gift he brought to his master Bai Li in the space button bought with the money he earned from live streaming, Song Xinran felt like a bird with wings, flying freely under the blue sky.
After getting off the spaceship, Song Xinran did not go back to his home first, but went to Bai Li's home first according to the address given by Bai Li. On the way there, he also specifically told Bai Li that he was back and would come to visit him at his home.
Bai Li quickly replied to Song Xinran with an "OK" expression.
Song Xinran smiled with her eyes curved, and she was very excited about meeting her master soon.
"Um... hello, is this Bai Li's home?" Song Xinran asked dryly when he found that the person who came to open the door was not his familiar master, but a strange man who looked quite mature and whom he could probably call "uncle".
He really wanted to glance at the house number outside to see if he had gone to the wrong place.
"Aha, it's Xiao Song, right? This is Bai Li's home, please come in quickly, hahaha." Tang Ying's tone was very enthusiastic, if he hadn't been concerned about scaring people, he would have wanted to pull Song Xinran in.
Seeing that Song Xinran was still a little hesitant and wary, he remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he quickly stated his identity: "I'm Tang Ying, the one who wins life by doing nothing in the game. You don't have any impression of me, right?"
It’s no wonder that Tang Ying is so enthusiastic about Song Xinran. Anyone who is in this house and has to accept pots of dog food poured on his head all day long will gradually become "abnormal" psychologically, and just hope that someone can come and help him share the pressure.
In the past two days, the whole house is filled with the sour smell of love, and he is the only one who still has the fresh fragrance of a single dog.
God knows how happy Tang Ying was when he heard from Bai Li that Song Xinran was coming to his house. Now the target of their showing affection will not be entirely on him, right?
However, what Tang Ying didn't know was that Wen Xingyao had also asked Bai Li whether he wanted to tell Song Xinran about their relationship, but was rejected by Bai Li. The reason was that Song Xinran was still a child, so they should behave a little more restrained in front of Song Xinran, right?
Moreover, Bai Li was still hesitant about whether to tell Song Xinran about Wen Xingyao and Tang Ying's true identities. Would Xiao Song be so excited that he wanted to show off and make their whereabouts known to everyone?
Let’s take another look.
In other words, the scene in Tang Ying’s dream would never happen.
...How could I not have any impression of that? A few days ago, we were drafted together by the master to screen the numerous application forms for being game anchors.
But why was this person in the master's house? When did they meet in real life, and when did they become so familiar with each other?
"It's Brother Tangying, hello, I'm Song Xinran." After politely exchanging names with Tang Ying, Song Xinran followed Tang Ying into the house with a lot of questions in his mind.
Afterwards, he saw his master and a handsome man with long silver hair who had an awe-inspiring aura walking down the stairs, talking and laughing, with a black fox cub following behind them.
The cub looked very upset, and from time to time he wanted to rush up and bite the unknown man's foot, but the man dodged him every time.
After a while, two people came in from the yard. One had a big square face and eyes that didn't look too big, while the other had a pair of eye-catching ears that looked twice as big as an average person's.
"Mr. Bai, we have cleared all the weeds in the yard. From now on, can we just help you water the vegetable seedlings?" Fox Two asked, not noticing at first that there was a stranger in the living room.
Fox Yi saw it with his sharp eyes and felt that the child looked familiar.
"Thank you for your help." Bai Li nodded and said, "You can take a rest first. We will go to water the plants together later."
After saying that, he waved to Song Xinran again: "Xiao Song, long time no see."
Actually...it hasn't been too long, but the changes in the Bai Li family are obvious enough.
First, Bai Li moved from the rental house to the current big villa. The vegetables that used to be grown in pots on the balcony now seem to be planted in the yard. Then there are the new people in the house, Tang Ying, the handsome big brother whose name is still unknown, a black fox, the familiar face Zhizun, and the two helpers that Bai Li hired, whose names are also unknown.
"Master." Song Xinran responded, and walked to Bai Li's side in small steps rather awkwardly, without saying anything else.
Bai Li took Song Xinran's hand and led him to the sofa. This time, Wen Xingyao did not look at Song Xinran with the same rejection as before, but imitated Bai Li with a gentle look, as if he was looking at a younger generation in the family.
His current identity is different from before.
"You actually know both of these two. The one on my left is Yaoxing, and the one sitting over there is Lie Down to Win Life." Bai Li introduced them to Song Xinran and told Song Xinran to just call Wen Xingyao "brother".
As for Wen Xingyao's full name, he seemed to have forgotten it and did not mention it.
When he was going downstairs, he had heard Tang Ying introduce herself to Song Xinran. The names of Tang Ying and Wen Xingyao were not a big deal if they were introduced separately, but if they were put together, it would easily lead to some strange associations.
"Master, where is the Supreme? Why can't I see him?" After Song Xinran called his brother, he looked around and found that there was indeed no sign of the Supreme, so he asked in confusion.
"Supreme has been picked up by his owner." Bai Li gave the excuse he had prepared long ago, "When I picked up Supreme, I thought he was a stray cat, but not long ago I found out that he actually had an owner, so I asked his owner to take him back."
Bai Li had discussed this explanation with Wen Xingyao at the beginning, and only told it after getting Wen Xingyao's consent.
Song Xinran said "Oh" in disappointment. In this family, he was only familiar with Bai Li and Zhi Zun. Now there were many more people in the family, but the only two kittens he was familiar with were gone. This made him feel like he had lost his allies.
Wen Xingyao looked puzzled, and looked at Bai Li with a bit of amusement, and seemed a bit tolerant. He didn't feel much when they discussed it before, but why did he feel a little itchy in his heart when he heard Bai Li say this?
Tang Ying was trying hard to hold back her laughter. A stray cat was picked up by its owner? This "owner" was none other than Bai Li himself. Hahaha!
Fox One and Fox Two were a little confused at first, but soon remembered that General Wen was also in a child state before, and the "Supreme" they were talking about should be the name that Mr. Bai gave to General Wen when he was unaware. Now that he explained it to others like this, he probably didn't want to tell the child too much.
So the two of them acted like spectators and didn't make any noise.
The only one who didn't take Song Xinran's appearance seriously was probably Zhu Moling, the young fox. While the others were talking, he was still conscientiously trying to take a bite of Wen Xingyao's calf.
As for the reason for biting someone? He didn't know either. Anyway, after listening to the conversation at the dinner table yesterday morning, he had the urge to bite someone!
Fox One and Fox Two no longer had the eyes to look at their leader's strange behavior in childhood, and they did not dare to tell the leader about these things in the game. The content they told the leader was all carefully processed after they discussed it.
After a brief greeting, the regular gift-giving session began.
Song Xinran smiled and showed Bai Li the space button in his hand: "Master, I bought this with the money I earned from live streaming. I just found out not long ago that my father, mother, brothers and sisters are actually the first to sixth on the list of my live streaming room. I used to think their names were strange, but I didn't expect that the clown was actually me. My reaction was too slow, so I only realized it now..."
"Later, my parents admitted it, so I returned all the gifts they sent to my live broadcast room. I bought this space button with the remaining money after removing the gifts they sent. If it weren't for Master, I would definitely not be able to make so much money. Thank you! Hehe, I know that Master has no interest in the nutrient solution in reality, so I won't give it to Master this time. These are the vegetables I grew by myself. I don't know why they have a little taste, which is better than the ones sent from the agricultural planet. My parents praised me after eating them. I saved some for Master. We will use this to cook at noon!"
As Song Xinran spoke, he took out a basket of juicy cabbages from the space button. Because of their size, the frame didn't hold many, but Bai Li recalled the number that Song Xinran had planted on the balcony at home, imitating him, and it was two-thirds of the total.
The cabbage was slightly smaller than the one in the game, but it was juicy, tender, white and green, and the color was very beautiful. Tang Ying was stunned, but what concerned him more was the meaning of Song Xinran's words.
"Huh? The cabbages grown by Xiao Song also have flavor?" Tang Ying didn't understand. "That's weird. Logically speaking, the vegetables grown and cared for by farming robots on the agricultural planets are all watered and fertilized in the most scientific and reasonable way. But why are the vegetables they grow tasteless? It just so happens that the vegetables grown by Bai Li and Xiao Song have some of the most natural flavor of vegetables. It can't be because the planet we live on is more suitable for planting than the agricultural planet, right?"
After hearing Tang Ying's words, Song Xinran scratched the back of his head in confusion and smiled foolishly: "I don't know about that. I just did what my master taught me, or did I use the farming experience in the game?"
He himself was not very sure about the last sentence, and it seemed that it was a habit that came naturally.
Tang Ying fell silent, thinking that he might be overthinking. How could this be possible? Agricultural planets suitable for planting have all passed official testing before being put up for sale. If even they are not suitable for planting, the planets inhabited by humans would probably become a wasteland.
In the end, he still couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and treated the incident as an accidental situation and thought he was overthinking it.
What he didn't notice was that after listening to the conversation between him and Song Xinran, a thoughtful look flashed across Bai Li's face.
Song Xinran had not yet finished giving away all his gifts. After Bai Li smilingly accepted the cabbage that he had grown himself, he took out a small and exquisite fox ornament made of white ceramic.
Fox One and Fox Two almost jumped up when they saw this. What, what, what? Isn't this the white fox "peripheral" they made in the image of their young master? After it was made, the main family and affiliated families sent some to him. According to the patriarch, it was to commemorate his brother's lively and cute image when he was a child, and also to remind himself and everyone in the family that as long as his brother was not found, he would not give up the search.
Now that Song Xinran can take out such a small ornament, he must have some connection with the Sky Fox clan.
Hu Yi searched his mind carefully and finally remembered when he had seen Song Xinran. It was a family gathering several years ago. A small child followed his parents, brothers and sisters. He carefully poked his head out from behind to take a look at their clan leader, and then quickly hid away shyly. He was a very shy child.
It must be this child.
Thinking of Song Xinran's identity, Hu Yi's originally tense mood quietly relaxed a little.
Song Xinran introduced: "Master, this fox is made according to the image of my brother who ran away from home. Although I have never seen the original form of that brother, it should be countless times cuter than this little fox! Now I give it to you, you are as powerful as that brother!"
Fox One & Fox Two: Run away from home???
The fox figurine was small and could be easily held in the palm of one's hand. Bai Li took the figurine after Song Xinran finished speaking. The texture of the white porcelain was smooth to the touch, and the surface seemed to be covered with a layer of glittering material, which would emit a dazzling halo under the light.
The eyes of the fox on the ornament are not as narrow and charming as those of real foxes. Instead, they are round, dark and deep, yet with a sense of ignorant innocence, which looks very cute.
I don't know why, but when Bai Li first saw this white fox figurine, he liked it very much. He had the urge to pick it up and play with it. After he actually picked it up, he couldn't let it go.
However, when he looked at the big fluffy tail behind the white fox, the first thought that came to his mind was not "this tail looks so soft", but "why is there only one? It would be cuter if there were more."
Before Bai Li could think about why he had such a strange idea, his arm was pulled by something and sank down. He looked down and found that a fox cub had come over at some point, staring at the ornament in his hand with its eyes full of desire.
Using his rich body movements, he made the sound of "let me see".
The white fox, the brother who ran away from home in Song Xinran's family... The black fox, with six tails, Zhu Moling, who was looking for his brother everywhere...
Bai Li's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously looked at Fox One and Fox Two, and saw them nodding silently at him. It seemed that he had guessed right.
He placed the fox ornament on the sofa cushion, and then picked up the fox cub, allowing him to carefully touch and observe his brother's ornament. Then he looked up at Song Xinran, who knew nothing about this, and then looked at Fox One and Fox Two, unsure how to deal with this matter.
Fox One and Fox Two looked at each other, then Fox One took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let me talk to him about this."
They explained to Song Xinran their identities and those of their clan leader, and told Song Xinran that the clan leader was temporarily living in Bai Li's house. As for the reason for the temporary stay, they did not elaborate.
Even if people tell others that someone can cure "gene collapse syndrome", I guess few people would believe it.
…
In the following half an hour, Song Xinran felt that his three views were somewhat shattered. He looked in disbelief at the fox cub rubbing his cheek against the ceramic fox figurine. He could not believe that this was the family patriarch he had seen a few years ago.
How could the brother of the brother he admired be like this? QAQ!
But no matter what, Hu Yi still managed to convince Song Xinran of her inner conflict, and they could barely be considered as relatives.
Song Xinran felt dizzy and couldn't understand why his master was surrounded by such powerful people after just a while of not seeing him.
After trying to calm down, he earnestly assured Fox One and Fox Two, "Brother Fox One, Brother Fox Two, don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this. I will forget everything about the clan leader once I leave this room!"
He thought that the clan leader probably wouldn't want too many people to know what he looked like now.
Fox One and Fox Two probably misunderstood Song Xinran's meaning. When they heard him make the promise, they smiled warmly.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Brother Song."
At Song Xinran's strong request, he prepared lunch by himself. Not a single cabbage was wasted. Two were fried into vinegar-fried cabbage, one was cooked into cabbage and pork ribs soup, and the last was wrapped with minced meat to make braised cabbage rolls.
Afterwards, he stewed some rice, made white flour buns, and prepared a large table of decent dishes, enough for six people and one fox.
Just as Song Xinran said, the cabbage he grew was not as strong as the ones grown by Bai Li, but compared with the cabbage grown from the agricultural planet, it was fresh and natural, with its own flavor. All in all, everyone was very satisfied with the taste of the meal.
After dinner, the group ran to the yard to help water the vegetables, marking the end of the meeting and dinner. They said goodbye to each other and went back to play games.
In the game world of "Your Country Life", several villages are bustling as if they are celebrating the New Year.
"Hurry up, Xiaojia, you have been selected as the game anchor, this is a big happy event for our village, you should turn on your live broadcast machine and let netizens witness the birth of the village chief's house with us. There will also be blind box opening activities like the 'Mushroom Village', which will be arranged later."
A middle-aged man grabbed a young man who looked a little tired, and spoke a lot like a machine gun.
The young man seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Uncle, I live stream my sleep for people, and now you want me to live stream this, isn't it too difficult for me? The live stream effect won't be good!"
"Oh, it's just that we can't find anyone else at the moment. I don't know what they are doing in the afternoon. I wonder if you can come to claim your reward after completing the mission. You just woke up and look like you have time." The middle-aged man waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, you can just turn on the live camera when the time comes. I'll be the host, right? Hey, who would have thought that we have completed the 'Village Chief's Residence' mission only seven days after entering the game. Although we chose the easiest one, it is of great significance to our village!"
"Xiao Jia, uncle is counting on you, when the time comes, you should keep the camera steady!" After saying that, he emphasized again, "The rich ones, the ones who broadcast live have money!"
The young man was indeed encouraged and forced himself to cheer up: "Okay then, I'll start the live broadcast now. Uncle, where do you think it would be best to put the camera~?"
