Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Although no one spoke to him, Grandpa Chen told stories one by one as if they were his own experiences.

Yao Jun listened with great interest and thought that the old man should tell stories, which would definitely make more money than selling breakfast.

The two of them, one listening and the other talking, taking a sip of wine from time to time, complemented each other and felt that they had met too late.

When Grandpa Chen was telling a legend he had heard, Chen Xi came in carrying two bowls of steaming dumplings.

Looking at the plump and round dumplings, Yao Jun's eyes widened instantly and he could not wait to pick up his chopsticks.

As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than... Wrong, that's not the saying.

Dumplings are like wine, and the more you drink, the better.

Chen Xi, who mistook Yao Jun's nostalgia for novelty, happily said, "Sir, this is dumplings. This is boiled. In addition, there are fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, baked dumplings, and fried dumplings."

"If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you later." When she said later, Chen Xi's little face suddenly turned pink, so cute. Unfortunately, Yao Jun's attention was all on the dumplings and he didn't see it.

Seeing that Yao Jun was about to pick up his chopsticks, Chen Xi said again: "Sir, I'll go get some plum vinegar to dip the dumplings in, they'll taste even better."

Yao Jun waved his hand and told her to hurry up, but he did not put down his chopsticks. Instead, he picked up a pork-stuffed dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring about the heat, and started chewing it immediately.

Fragrant! Delicious!

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t eaten it for more than 20 years, or because of Chen Xi’s cooking skills, but Yao Jun feels that these dumplings taste just as good as the ones his mother and sister made during Chinese New Year.

A bite of dumpling, a sip of wine, the taste is indeed getting richer and richer, dip it in a little plum vinegar, the taste is even richer.

Chen Xi brought the plum vinegar and saw that Yao Jun was eating without paying attention to anything else. He couldn't hide his joy in his heart and said happily, "There are dozens more stuffed with chives and eggs. I'll cook them too."

At dinner, the grandfather and grandson ate dumplings. Grandpa Chen knew how they tasted, and he had drunk some wine. While waiting for his granddaughter to go to the kitchen to cook dumplings, he said, "Mr. Bai, if you really like Xixi's cooking, I hope you can take her away as soon as possible."

Yao Jun picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth, then looked up at the old man. He saw sincerity and worry in his eyes. He guessed that the old man should know why Chen Xi almost got into trouble. After thinking for a while, he picked up the charcoal pencil and wrote on the bamboo slip.

"She has to face these things, unless she is willing to live an ordinary life."

If he could live a peaceful and happy life, Grandpa Chen would be willing to be ordinary. If it was his granddaughter before, he would also be willing, but now Xixi...

Looking at the dumplings with round bellies, the delicious food, and Xixi's changes over the past year, he knew that his granddaughter would not be willing to be ordinary.

With a sigh, Grandpa Chen picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

Yao Jun just drank with him and did not persuade the old man.

He would not promise anything, but there was only one fellow villager like him in the world, so he could still protect her. As for other things, he could not control it.

When the last few dozen leek and egg dumplings were served on the table, the old man was already a little drunk. Yao Jun got up and Chen Xi helped him to the room to sleep.

Sitting back at the table, Chen Xi picked up the wine jug and poured half a bowl of wine, then toasted to Yao Jun: "Mr. Bai, thank you very much for today."

"I have nothing but decent cooking skills. I will try my best to make more delicious food in the future to repay you for saving my life."

Yao Jun drank a bowl of wine with her, and then wrote on a bamboo slip: "Don't take it to heart, it's just a small matter."

He is handsome and kind-hearted. Not to mention a mortal, even a heart of stone would be moved by him, Chen Xi thought.

Thinking about the two crises he encountered today, early in the morning and evening, Chen Xi felt very scared and poured himself another bowl of wine to drink.

The alcohol content of alcohol in this era is like one's status. The more noble one is, the better the alcohol one drinks. The alcohol that ordinary people can drink is just better than plain water.

The wine that Yao Jun brought was certainly not ordinary, but it could not be compared with modern liquor, so Chen Xi, who drank two bowls of wine, did not notice anything unusual.

I just want to get drunk and speak out what's in my heart.

"Mr. Bai, is there any place of freedom in this era?" Chen Xi was distressed. She came to this world unexpectedly and it took her a year to accept it. But she just wanted to live a peaceful life and use her skills to make her life better.

As for getting married and having children, it was not even within her consideration. Of course, if the man in front of her wanted to be with her, she could consider it.

A total beauty lover!

Yao Jun ate a few leek and egg dumplings while they were still hot, and then wrote on the bamboo slip: "Where there are people, there are disputes."

In order to comfort his fellow villager, Yao Jun put a piece of roast lamb in her bowl, then continued to eat his dumplings, wondering whether he should suggest that she make meatball soup tomorrow?

But it's just a thought. Ordering food will easily expose his identity. It's also good to open blind boxes, and there are new surprises every day.

Looking at the mutton in the bowl, Chen Xi raised his eyes to the chopsticks in Yao Jun's hand and said with disgust in his heart, "You don't even know how to use public chopsticks. Aren't you afraid of cross infection?"

After chirping for a while, he took advantage of Yao Jun's inattention to grab the mutton in the bowl and put it into his mouth, like a cat that had stolen some fish, with his face flushed.

Two bowls of more than sixty dumplings stuffed with pork, and forty or fifty dumplings stuffed with leek and eggs, all of which were eaten by Yao Jun, who also drank so much bland wine, he was a real big eater.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xi cleared the table, placed a bowl of hot water in front of Yao Jun, and then sat next to him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After what happened today, she knew that she was being watched. She was not safe even at home. After all, she was the only one at home with her elderly grandfather. Unless...

Yao Jun pretended not to notice Chen Xi who kept looking at him. He sat quietly on the stool drinking hot water, looking as if he was not bothered by external things.

Seeing Yao Jun frequently looking out the door and the water in the bowl becoming less and less, Chen Xi finally couldn't sit still anymore. She lay on the table with twinkling eyes, showing a cute look, and said flatteringly: "Master, can I ask you for a favor?"

Yao Jun put down the water bowl, picked up the wood chip, and waved his hand with two big words, "What's the matter?"

The courage that Chen Xi had just mustered up deflated like a deflated ball when faced with these two words.

Just as she was trying her best to fill the ball with air, the tightly closed door of the store was suddenly slammed, and someone shouted impatiently, "Open the door!"

Chen Xi stood up suddenly and looked at the store door with panic. The person who came here was not friendly!

Yao Jun calmly took up the veil and put it on, then wrote on the bamboo slip: "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and take a look."

In this desolate and silent night, there were increasingly fierce shouts outside the door, and the door was shaking from the knocks, as if the people outside could break in at the next moment.

Chen Xi was very scared. No matter how many ideas she had or how eloquent she was, it was useless when facing power. You can only talk if others want to reason with you. What else can you do if they don't want to talk?

The petite Chen Xi wanted to grab Yao Jun's sleeve. Now he was the only one who could protect her and her grandfather.

"Son!"

Yao Jun dodged the claws stretched out by the young fellow, glared at her with dissatisfaction, then picked up the sword beside the table and walked towards the door.

Chen Xi's face turned pale. She was worried that her actions just now had displeased Yao Jun, so she hurriedly chased after him and said, "Sir, I didn't mean to do that. I was just too scared. Please don't leave, okay?"

Yao Jun suddenly turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows.

Does this woman know what she is talking about?
