"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one intertwined fate!"
At this moment, the system's notification sound rang in Makoto's mind.
However, since it was almost mealtime, he wasn't in a hurry to open the system interface.
Makoto looked around, his gaze finally landing on Beidou.
He saw that when Beidou ate, she would only pick some small side dishes like chili Mushrooms and put them in her bowl.
She ate very, very few side dishes, then took a big mouthful of rice.
On the other hand, the meat dishes specifically made for her were untouched.
This was a bit strange.
Because in the game, Big Sister Beidou liked to drink wine and eat meat in big mouthfuls.
Beidou should not have any dietary restrictions.
Why was it like this?
Soon, Makoto understood.
Ultimately, Beidou, like Shenhe, hadn't been in this new home for long.
She hadn't yet integrated into the new environment and was somewhat reserved.
Perhaps she was embarrassed to eat meat, which was why she quietly ate some side dishes.
For a moment, Makoto didn't know what to say.
Previously, Beidou wandered outside, strong-willed and never caring about others' expressions.
Instead, after coming to her new home, she became cautious, like a child afraid of doing something wrong.
This wouldn't do.
Currently, Little Beidou was still in the growing stage, so it was natural to emphasize a balanced diet of meat and vegetables for nutrition.
How could she only eat side dishes?
Therefore, Makoto put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up, and walked towards Beidou.
He also considered that if he directly put food on Beidou's plate, the little girl would definitely refuse.
So he chose a more subtle approach.
"Ningguang, Beidou, the kitchen is missing a serving plate."
"I'd like to take a plate from you, if that's okay?"
Hearing Makoto's request, Ningguang nodded instinctively without any thought.
In her heart, as long as it was Makoto's request, she would agree without hesitation, no matter what the request was.
Ningguang said in a childish voice, "Makoto, of course you can!"
Beidou also quickly put down her chopsticks and nodded seriously: "Makoto, it's fine, you can take the plate."
Beidou was filled with gratitude towards Makoto.
Because it was Makoto who saved her from freezing and starving and gave her a new home.
So when Makoto said he wanted to take a plate, Beidou had no objection.
The little girl's thoughts were simple, without any complex ideas.
She only knew that Makoto was very, very good to her.
Then she had to be doubly good to Makoto.
She even wanted to ask if Makoto had enough plates.
If not, she could give up another plate.
As Beidou hesitated to speak,
Makoto picked up the plate and equally divided the meat inside between Ningguang and Beidou.
Although it was impossible to make both sides perfectly equal, Makoto tried his best to balance it.
Both were equally important.
Both little girls had to grow up healthy.
Beidou saw her bowl full of meat, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head.
"Makoto, my bowl already has a lot of meat, you don't need to give me more meat, really."
For Beidou,
Even eating some side dishes was infinitely better than starving while wandering before.
The grateful Beidou was truly too embarrassed to eat more, let alone eat meat.
Hearing Beidou's protest, Makoto showed no sign of stopping his actions.
He looked at Beidou and said earnestly, "Little Beidou, you are still growing, you need to supplement your nutrition more."
"Only by eating enough and well can you grow up faster, understand?"
Beidou bit her lip upon hearing this, and said weakly, "But, but I can get full by eating vegetables too, I don't need to eat meat."
"Even, even without eating vegetables!"
"Makoto, actually Beidou is very easy to feed, really."
Looking at Beidou's nervous expression, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that Beidou didn't eat meat because she was worried that Makoto would think she was difficult to raise.
This little girl was so sensitive inside.
It must be related to her years of wandering experiences.
For a moment, Makoto felt that Beidou was very pitiful.
He reached out and rubbed Beidou's head, saying with a light laugh, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"Perhaps I can't give you very good living conditions, but when it comes to food, you can rest assured, there will definitely be enough."
"Since you chose to come to our home, I will never let you regret making that choice."
Hearing Makoto's words, a warm current rose in Beidou's heart.
This feeling of being valued was something she had never experienced before.
Makoto paused and continued, "So, eat with confidence, I'll be happy if you eat more."
"If you don't eat, I'll think my cooking isn't good."
Hearing Makoto say this, Beidou immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, Makoto's cooking is very good."
"Beidou likes all the dishes Makoto makes!"
Beidou was full of nervousness, afraid that Makoto would misunderstand.
Makoto said with a smile, "Since you like to eat, then eat more, finish all the food in your bowl."
"Because starting tomorrow, I will officially teach you skills, there will be a lot of training to do."
"You must eat more to replenish your energy, otherwise, you won't pass tomorrow's training, understand?"
Makoto also planned to officially teach the Little Cuties some skills starting tomorrow.
Give Mora to Ningguang to start a business, cultivating Ningguang's business abilities.
Let Qiqi better control his body.
As for Beidou and Shenhe,
Previously, Makoto had drawn Beidou and Shenhe's elemental skills, and he also planned to teach them to the two.
When Beidou heard that Makoto was going to teach her skills, the little girl's watery big eyes became exceptionally bright.
She wanted to learn skills from Makoto.
Because only then could she become useful to Makoto.
Beidou nodded vigorously, and said with a serious face, "Makoto, I understand."
"I will listen to you, get enough energy, and train well tomorrow."
With Makoto's guidance, and thinking about how tiring tomorrow's training might be,
Beidou also accepted Makoto's feeding.
Looking at Beidou eating heartily, Makoto had a faint smile on his face.
"Beidou, eat slowly, don't choke."
"There's more food in the pot, get more when you're done."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is your home, no need to be reserved."
...
"Ningguang, you thought I was only talking about Beidou and not you!"
"You also hurry up and eat, today's task is to finish all the food."
Makoto's urging sounded in her ears, and her hands were full of food.
Beidou's thoughts were manifold.
Is this what it feels like to have a home and family?
It's wonderful.
If possible, she hoped to stay in this home forever.
She wanted to stay by Makoto's side forever.
As he spoke, the system's notification sound rang in Makoto's mind.
"Detected that Beidou's friendship has increased from Level 2 to Level 3. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one intertwined fate!"
