Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The next day, before dawn, a long line formed outside the shop of the Chen grandfather and grandson again, and at the front was a tall figure.

The diner was not unfamiliar with this figure, as he had often seen him in recent days. He was always the first in line, no matter how early he came, as if he had been waiting here all the time.

Yao Jun closed his eyes slightly, emptied his mind, breathed evenly, and stood motionless in front of the store, as if he had fallen asleep.

When the footsteps in the store came towards the door, Yao Jun opened his eyes instantly. In the dim morning, a white light seemed to flash.

After Chen Xi opened the door, she saw the man who almost made her lose sleep. She smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, you got up so early. You're the first one."

A few days ago, even when this fellow saw me, he just smiled. But today he actually spoke. Could it be because of yesterday’s meal money?

With a hint of doubt, Yao Jun nodded to Chen Xi, walked into the store, put the breakfast money on the counter, walked to the table near the kitchen and sat down.

Although he wanted to use this young man of unknown origin to escape the royal family's rules, Chen Xi also knew that he couldn't act too hastily.

There are still more than ten days before Young Master Jun arrives in the capital of Chen State. During these days, we just need to conquer the appetite of this gourmet and then ask him for favors when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi invited the guests into the store, and when all the seats were full, he shouted outside the store: "The store is full, please wait a moment."

There were still steamed buns and two kinds of stir-fried vegetables as usual. Just when Yao Jun picked up the chopsticks to eat, a small portion of cold shredded carrots suddenly appeared in front of him.

Facing those eyes that could suck a person's soul in, Chen Xi said with a smile: "This is for my grandfather and I to eat. If you don't mind..."

Before she could finish the rest of the sentence, Yao Jun had already picked up a piece of shredded carrot with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The salty and sweet shredded carrots have a hint of sourness from plums. Yao Jun guessed that it was because of the plum vinegar. It still has its own flavor and is very refreshing and appetizing.

Nodding approvingly to Chen Xi, Yao Jun began to eat his breakfast in big mouthfuls. Although he ate very quickly, every movement he made exuded elegance and nobility, as if they were innate.

Chen Xi was secretly delighted. If one wanted to conquer a man, one must first conquer his stomach. How could a mere bumpkin from ancient times resist the advancement of gourmet food from later generations?

Yao Jun, who was known as a country bumpkin in ancient times, was thinking in his mind how to trick this fellow villager back home, no, bring him home to be a cook.

Yao Jun picked up another piece of shredded carrot with chopsticks, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, looking very happy, his eyes following the petite figure.

This blind date is an opportunity, but Yao Jun will not marry her, and cannot marry her, unless the system issues a task.

Putting aside other things, this time the system did a good job and allowed me to find a fellow villager. Could it be that the system knew that I was lonely and sent him here specially?

【no】

It doesn’t matter if it’s not the case, but I don’t know if she can travel back in time like me, Yao Jun thought to himself.

After finishing his meal, Yao Jun did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked into the backyard, found a stool, moved it to the wall, sat down against the wall, closed his eyes and rested.

Grandpa Chen wanted to say something, but seeing that his granddaughter not only did not stop him but also looked happy, he could only sigh helplessly and continue to work.

After the last customer left the shop, the grandfather and grandson set up the tea stall and started to have breakfast.

Chen Xi filled a half bowl of vegetable porridge, came to the backyard, and walked in front of Yao Jun, "Mr. Bai, would you like to drink some porridge to warm yourself up?"

Yao Jun opened his eyes, stood up and took a look at the half bowl of vegetable porridge. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, his ears moved, and he turned around and jumped over the wall less than two meters high. Then a soft groan was heard, followed by a scream.

Before Chen Xi could react to what was happening, Yao Jun jumped over the wall again, took the porridge from her hand, took a big sip, and then continued to sit against the wall without explaining what had just happened.

Chen Xi was still shocked by the scene he had just seen. A living person jumped over the wall, which was less than two meters high, without even a running start, and then jumped in again.

Were ancient people so terrifying?

When she recovered and wanted to ask what had just happened, she saw that Yao Jun had finished the porridge, put the bowl on the stool, and was about to walk out.

Chen Xi hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Mr. Bai."

Yao Jun stopped, looked back at her and fell into deep thought. After all, they were from the same hometown and she was also a good cook. It didn't matter if it was a little troublesome. It was a good opportunity to have some fun.

"Be careful." After saying that, Yao Jun turned around and strode away.

Chen Xi escorted the man out of the shop, stood in front of the door and watched his receding back. After thinking for a while, she turned and walked towards the alley next to her. However, she had no intention of going in. She just wanted to take a look at the entrance of the alley.

The result was naturally that nothing was found, not even a ghost, but the scream just now was definitely not an hallucination.

"Master Bai told me to be careful before he left. Could it be that someone wants to harm me?"

Chen Xi returned to the shop, his mind still thinking about what had just happened. He was absent-minded even when eating breakfast.

Grandpa Chen thought that she was distracted and had no appetite because Yao Jun was gone, and she didn't think about anything else.

After breakfast, the grandfather and grandson came to clear the table. Chen Xi went back to the house, picked up the package containing gorgeous clothes, and set off towards the palace.

She now thought it through clearly. Someone must have tried to do something wrong just now, but was discovered by Master Bai, who then drove that person or those people away.

As for where those people came from, Chen Xi didn't think it through, but there were only two possibilities: one was for the so-called secret recipe, and the other was about blind dates.

"If it's because of the blind date, those people are going too far. I've become a nobody, but they don't intend to let me go."

When Chen Xi arrived at the palace gate worriedly, the sisters from the same branch gathered together, waiting for the eunuch to come out and take them in.

Just as Chen Xi was chatting with several sisters who were united around Chen Rong, Chen Rong walked over with a gloomy face, and immediately one of the sisters came forward to ask what was going on.

Chen Rong glanced at the sisters who were united around her and said in a cold tone, "Xiao Li had an accident last night. She will be marrying the commander of the city gate guard station in a few days."

Chen Xi's heart was shocked, but she did not show it. She looked at her sisters and saw fear and worry in each other's eyes.

Now someone has actually reached out to them. It seems that someone wants to muddy the waters. Something might happen.

Xiaoli, whose real name is Chen Li, is also a sister from the same branch. She is three years younger than Chen Xi. She has both parents and is a craftsman. Like Chen Xi, she was a nobody who gathered around Chen Rong.

While Chen Xi was thinking, Chen Rong continued, "After dinner yesterday, Chen Li was kidnapped when she went out to get some water. This morning, she was sent home by the officer at the city gate guard post, but she had already been abused, so she had no choice but to marry him."

Then, she swept her cold eyes over the sisters and continued, "Chen Lan's father and uncles are on duty at the city guard. I suspect she did this."

"We sisters are together for warmth and support. We are not together for the sake of the young master, nor for marriage. We just want to leave this palace safely."

"But now, someone has set his sights on us sisters. If we don't take some measures, someone else will surely suffer in the future!"

Chen Rong was not exaggerating. Chen Xi had the most say. She thought about what happened in the morning and what Mr. Bai said, "Be careful."

Looking at the towering royal palace, Chen Xi felt a chill in her heart. She just wanted to live a good life in ancient times and be an unknown person. Why would she be involved in these things?
