Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Aww~~ It's so wonderful to sleep until dawn and not have to get up early for class," Bai Li yawned as she sprang out of bed. "It would be even better if I had a cell phone. Wouldn't it be wonderful to play on my phone while lying in bed?"

Stepping onto the balcony and gazing down at the vast expanse of cattle, sheep, and chickens below, Bai Li felt quite content.

These days, even with a severe shortage of leather, Bai Li hasn't killed a single cow, all to ensure its population grows so it can reproduce. If every cow that's born is killed, the cow population will never increase.

The sheep are sheared every day.

As for the horses, they haven't been put into Bai Li's back garden yet. After all, they're not MC's creations, and dealing with things like feeding them is quite troublesome. Right now, they're all on another patch of grassland that Bai Li has designated, being taken care of by Wei Shi and the others.

"Boss, you're up?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see Liu Er standing at the door downstairs, carrying a bamboo basket and smiling.

Why are you here so early today? Liu Er looks like he's been here for a while.

Bai Li walked downstairs, opened the door, and looked at Liu Er with a puzzled expression: "Liu Er, why did you come to see me so early? Is there something you need?"

Liu Er opened the lid of the basket and saw a large bowl of porridge inside. There wasn't much porridge; it was almost completely filled with rice grains, clearly scooped up from the bottom when it was cooked.

There were also a few steaming hot steamed buns on the table.

"Didn't you say before that everyone in the village should eat breakfast? My mother made breakfast this morning and asked me to bring it to you. It's still warm!" Liu Er said proudly, "From now on, I'll bring you breakfast every day."

"That's good. I'm tired of bread and milk, and it's been a long time since I've had porridge and steamed buns," Bai Li said thoughtfully. "You must have been waiting for quite a while."

Liu Er shook his head: "No, I figured you'd be up around this time, so I arrived a little early."

"Come on, let's go inside. You can put that basket on the table in the kitchen," Bai Li said, turning and walking towards the box in the kitchen.

It contained all sorts of cooked food, mostly fish, of course.

Although sleeping doesn't consume satiety, he had used up a lot of satiety while driving away the bandits, and he hadn't eaten anything before going to sleep.

However, these ordinary foods seem to only satisfy the cravings and do not provide much satiety, so he had to have grilled fish as his main meal.

"Why don't you sit down and eat with me?" Bai Li said to Liu Er, who had been standing the whole time. "It's okay if you don't want to eat. Don't be so reserved. You can just sit down and be the atmosphere-maker while I eat."

Bai Li ate rice porridge, steamed buns, and grilled fish.

"Boss, do you need someone to take care of your daily life?" Liu Er, who was sitting down, couldn't help but ask.

Bai Li swallowed the porridge in her mouth and laughed loudly, "What, you want to move in with me? That's perfect, I've saved a room for you, move in whenever you want."

"That's not what I meant," Liu Er paused and then continued, "It's just, boss, do you need any maids or anything like that?"

"Did Miao Zhiming send you to ask me this?" Bai Li asked after a moment's thought.

He didn't believe that Liu Er could have thought of this.

As expected, Liu Er nodded slowly.

"What is this guy thinking?!" Bai Li was both amused and exasperated. "Let's skip the maids and such. I have hands and feet, why would I need anyone to take care of me? It's strange to suddenly have a stranger here. Besides, I usually prefer to live alone."

As for Liu Er, it was a special case. When he first arrived here, he didn't see anyone around, and it was this kid who came to keep him company and chat with him to relieve his boredom.

"I see. I'll tell Brother Zhiming later," Liu Er said softly.

"Don't you feel a sudden sense of relief?" Bai Li looked at Liu Er with a sly grin.

Liu Er nodded seriously: "A little."

"Tch, I thought you'd blush and then turn around and say no." Bai Li shook her head in disappointment and lowered her head to drink her rice porridge.

Too straightforward, it's really boring.

"I'm not a girl, why are you blushing? I'm a real man!" Liu Er muttered.

"Liu Erhanzi, when are you going to get a wife?" Bai Li changed the subject and continued Liu Er's words.

This time, Liu Er finally blushed, stammering and unable to speak for a long time.

"What are you shy about?" Bai Li chuckled and teased, "Have you spotted a girl you like? Tell me about her."

It's important to know that the marriage age in ancient times was much earlier than it is now, not to mention arranged marriages in the womb. Liu Er was about that age.

"No...no," Liu Er stammered, his voice barely audible. If Bai Li hadn't had such good hearing, she wouldn't have heard him at all.

Bai Li then asked, "Really not?"

"no."

"What a pity, I was hoping to find a matchmaker," Bai Li shook his head regretfully. He looked at Liu Er with a sincere expression and said, "Hey, Liu Er, if you meet someone you like in the future, don't be afraid to go and build up your relationship. Once you've developed feelings for her, you don't need to worry about the rest. As long as you and the girl are mutually interested, I'll take care of you."

"Of course, provided you don't pester me. Although that's probably impossible, I still have to say it," he added.

Liu Er's ears turned red from listening, while Bai Li grinned and ate several steamed buns in a row.

Hehe, a pure-hearted young man, 99% of the time, a rare find~

"What about the eldest brother?" Liu Er asked softly.

I?

Bai Li was stunned for a moment. He stared blankly at the ancient costume he was wearing. After a long while, he smiled with relief.

Ding~

He stood up and, with lightning speed, flicked Liu Er on the head.

Bai Li had very little strength, which he could control well; he didn't want to open a watermelon so early in the morning.

"Ouch, boss, why did you suddenly hit me?" Liu Er cried out, clutching his head in pain.

"It's all adult stuff, kids shouldn't meddle. Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?" Bai Li sat back down nonchalantly, munching on the steamed bun in her hand. "Besides, where did I hit you? What just happened? Nothing happened! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Bai Li had a nonchalant expression, while Liu Er was speechless, silently scratching his head.

The eldest is so young... has a childlike heart.

"Let me wipe my hands!" Bai Li finished her steamed bun in two bites and used her hands, which she had just used to grab the grilled fish, to cover Liu Er's body.

Although there was no oil on his hands, he enjoyed watching Liu Er try to dodge but refrained from doing so.

"Let's go, let's go feed the cattle and sheep, and exchange some emeralds with Liu Wusan and the others!" Bai Li clung to Liu Er and walked towards her farm.

Happiness is a trap; it cannot last forever and will inevitably end in the end. The best outcome is that both people die at the same time.

But in the end, the one who stays will naturally be oneself.

His life was far too long.
