System, hurry up! Hand it over to the supermarket and hug the country's thigh

When Lu Xi returned upstairs and had almost finished dealing with everything, Xiao Liu's message arrived. She immersed her consciousness in the space, picked out some vegetables for the hot pot, and washed and processed them.

After everything was pre-processed, Lu Xi looked at the time and it was already past one in the morning.

The system hasn't come back yet, probably still working overtime. I hope the meat in the cafeteria today can cheer up the researchers.

Another busy day has ended, time to go to bed.

"Click~"

When Long Ruilin heard the door opening, he immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the door to greet her. When he saw Lu Xi, he shouted happily, "Sister, welcome back!" His chubby little face was full of smiles, like a little sun.

Then, when Lu Xi walked to the door, he rushed over with a bear hug.

As soon as Lu Xi entered the door, she was warmly welcomed by little Long Ruilin. She was frightened by the little guy. Fortunately, she reacted faster and grabbed the door frame in time, so she was not knocked to the ground by this little lump of meat.

She smiled and wanted to rub Long Ruilin's little head, but she couldn't bring herself to touch this little chicken nest, so she just pried open his two fleshy little paws: "Sister is also very happy to see you, but let go first."

Your welcome ceremony rushed towards me like a small cannonball, and my frail body was almost blown away. It was really too much for me to bear.

After hearing Lu Xi's words, Long Ruilin reluctantly let go of her hand, the light in his eyes still shining, "Sister, I'm hungry, food."

Seeing that neither of the two people paid attention to it, the system quietly slipped away from their feet. However, as soon as it walked into the living room and looked at the scene around the sofa, a tic-tac-toe shape popped up on its little head.

"Little Longlong, are you planning to rebel? You've made such a mess here that even a cat can't even step foot here."

Lu Xi heard the system's voice, glanced at Long Ruilin, and took his hand and walked towards the living room.

As soon as she walked into the living room, the scene in front of her made her frown.

On the sofa, dolls and small quilts were piled in a mess, and there were also some snack crumbs.

On the ground near the sofa, there were several garbage bags and paper boxes of snacks, and milk bottles were scattered all over the place.

Is this living directly on the sofa?

When Long Ruilin saw this scene, a guilty expression appeared on his face. He was startled by the movement of the door opening and immediately ran to the door to greet it, without noticing that he had created such a mess.

Besides, he didn't expect them to come back so soon, and he didn't have time to pack up.

He whispered, "Oh, I was so happy just now that I forgot to clean up."

Lu Xi sighed and shook her head helplessly. In just over ten hours of absence, she successfully saw the side of a naughty child in Long Ruilin.

"There's a trash can nearby but you don't throw it there, there's space for it but you throw it on the ground. That's a problem."

Long Ruilin was also quite sensible. He immediately ran over, shook his small quilt and toys, put them all into the space, and then threw the garbage bag and bottles on the ground into the trash can.

"Okay, it's clean now." Then he blinked his big eyes and looked at Lu Xi pitifully, "Longlong is hungry, let's go eat hot pot."

"Okay, okay, go and clean yourself up first." Lu Xi pushed Long Ruilin towards the bathroom. The kid's soft hair was now in a mess. No one knew how he had been doing during this time when the two of them were not around.

It is worthy of being a divine beast, it is full of energy and can do quite a lot.

Lu Xi instructed the system to keep an eye on Long Ruilin, and went to the living room and placed the hot pot ingredients prepared yesterday on the table.

According to Chinese time, they were eating hotpot early in the morning, and they originally wanted to wait until around 9 o'clock to invite Eskar, but the children at home couldn't wait, so they just started eating first.

Moreover, there are cats and children at the table who need her care. If there is another interstellar person who doesn’t even know the ingredients and asks questions, she will probably have a headache.

Thinking about that scene, let’s just forget it and let the three of them just have a good meal.

Considering that Long Ruilin is still a child and has never eaten hotpot, and it is his first time, of course he needs to enjoy the food to his heart's content. Lu Xi directly took a three-grid pot.

Tomato, mushroom soup, and beef hot pot. However, it was early in the morning and she was a child, so the hot pot was not too spicy and was within the acceptable range for the three of them.

After bubbling for a few minutes, the rich aroma of hot pot filled the entire living room.

The moment Long Ruilin pushed open the door, he was immediately attracted by the smell, and his little nose led his body to float towards the dining table.

That look, very impatient.

He lay on the table, tilted his head back and took a deep sip from the pot, "It smells so good, it smells so good, this spicy thing looks so delicious."

Lu Xi put two cups of hot milk on the table and pushed his shoulders onto the chair. "Sit down well, I'll make you some hot pot meat later."

"Yeah, but there's no need to bother sis. I have something to take care of."

After finishing speaking, Long Ruilin directly took out a "person" who was about 1.8 meters tall and almost 1.9 meters tall. After calling him Xiaojiu, the "person" opened his eyes.

"Owner."

"Hey, is this the legendary puppet?" The system looked at the "person" who suddenly appeared, jumped closer with curiosity and began to watch.

It carefully observed the lifeless body in front of it and found that the body was cold and expressionless, but its appearance was extremely similar to that of a human, just like a person who really exuded an indifferent temperament.

"Yes, his name is Xiaojiu." Long Ruilin explained, "He is very obedient and can do everything according to my instructions. When we eat later, I can ask him to help me pick up the food, so I don't have to trouble my sister."

After listening to this, Lu Xi couldn't help but become interested in Xiao Jiu. She had seen robots and virtual people, but this was the first time she had seen a puppet.

"Then this Xiaojiu, does he have his own consciousness? Or does he just follow your instructions completely?"

Long Ruilin looked at Xiaojiu, pinched his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "Xiaojiu can understand my instructions and complete all the tasks I assign to him, but he doesn't seem to have the same emotions as humans, or he doesn't have his own ideas."

He had no emotions and no thoughts, but looked so much like a human. Lu Xi suddenly shuddered. Could it be what she thought?
