Chapter 4: The Transformed Cute Creature

Yuan Tiantian looked at the sensitive plant hiding in the corner of the balcony. She knew that this was the first guest she was about to receive. At this moment, Yuan Tiantian finally understood why the system said this store was called the Planar Food Store. The guests here were not just ordinary humans, but also species from unknown worlds, like this sensitive plant right now.

"If the host gains the recognition of the extraterrestrial diner, the sensitive plant, a special reward will be obtained."

Special reward? Hearing this, Yuan Tiantian got excited. What kind of reward was it? Was it the cooking utensil with attributes? However, no matter how much Yuan Tiantian asked later, Si Mo didn't answer anymore.

Yuan Tiantian didn't mind. Since Si Mo said there would be a reward, there must be one. But for now, she had to receive this sensitive plant well. Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian picked up an abandoned flowerpot on the balcony. There was still soil in it, but it had dried up. Fortunately, there was a faucet on the balcony. She turned it on appropriately and then walked carefully towards the sensitive plant.

It wasn't an illusion. When Yuan Tiantian reached in front of it, the sensitive plant shrank back a bit.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Tiantian. Do you want to come here? It's very comfortable!" Yuan Tiantian squatted down, pointed to the flowerpot beside her feet, and said gently. She had an intuition that this sensitive plant must be able to understand her words.

After hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the sensitive plant really shook its leaves. Yuan Tiantian even felt that it seemed to stretch out a little bit of its leaves to take a look at the flowerpot she brought.

Yuan Tiantian instantly thought this sensitive plant was kind of cute. However, while Yuan Tiantian was still there, the sensitive plant didn't move at all. But Yuan Tiantian felt its eagerness to get into the flowerpot. Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian left first to give the sensitive plant more freedom.

Yuan Tiantian got up and returned to the corridor inside the house. Then she hid in the corner of the balcony door on one side and observed secretly.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the sensitive plant shook its leaves from side to side as if it was observing if there was anyone around. After feeling "safe", it moved step by step to the side of the flowerpot and then gently jumped into it. After it got into the flowerpot, Yuan Tiantian seemed to hear a soft sigh of comfort. She smiled, but it was time for her to rest. Anyway, the reception would have to wait until tomorrow morning. She hoped that after this night, this sensitive plant wouldn't be so shy anymore.

In the early morning, Yuan Tiantian was woken up by the pressure on her chest. However, when she saw the "culprit", she was so shocked that she didn't know how to react.

It was really too fantasy. The thing pressing on her chest was a chubby white baby about five years old. At this moment, he was lying on her chest, sleeping soundly with a slight snore. His hair was a bit peculiar, a fresh green color. Yuan Tiantian thought of the baby in her belly. Without time to think about where this little thing came from, she quickly carried him to the side. Although Yuan Tiantian moved very gently, the little thing still woke up.

Seeing Yuan Tiantian looking at him, this cute white baby showed a lovely smile to Yuan Tiantian, which directly melted Yuan Tiantian's heart. He was so cute! Yuan Tiantian was just about to ask who he was when the little cute creature's stomach growled.

"Hungry."

The little thing covered his stomach and looked at Yuan Tiantian aggrievedly. Looking at the sky outside that was gradually turning white, Yuan Tiantian didn't care about sleeping anymore. She had to fill this little cute creature's stomach first.

Saying that, Yuan Tiantian got up and led his white little hand to the bathroom. It was like a battle, but she finally managed to take care of his personal hygiene. Yuan Tiantian was a bit strange because it seemed that he didn't know how to do these things, but he looked about five years old. What kind of parent was so careless and didn't teach him these things? Well, only a careless parent would dye their child's hair green.

"What's your name? Do you still remember where your home is?"

Yuan Tiantian led the little cute creature downstairs step by step. Of course, she had to ask some important questions during this process. But his answer made Yuan Tiantian freeze on the spot.

"My name is Sensitive Plant. I live in Gexi Forest."

Yuan Tiantian stood on the last step, looking down at the little cute kid beside her. Looking at his green hair, she finally realized. It wasn't others who were careless, but herself. With such obvious characteristics, she didn't even think that he was that sensitive plant.

"Are you the sensitive plant from last night?"

The little cute kid blinked his eyes, then tilted his head and nodded gently.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

Yuan Tiantian looked at the little cute kid with a complicated look. After a lot of mental preparation, she finally admitted that this was a sensitive plant that could transform into a human form. Yuan Tiantian thought that if she hadn't experienced time - travel and the system, she might have fainted just now.

"Sister will cook for you!"

She took him to the kitchen, but it was empty inside. Well, although the water and electricity had been fixed yesterday and Yuan Tiantian had put the cooking utensils given by the system inside, there were no ingredients! Looking at the little cute creature's aggrieved and hungry look, Yuan Tiantian took out her phone. Should she order take - out as a temporary solution?

"Host, when receiving extraterrestrial diners, you are not allowed to use take - out or any food not self - made by the host."

"In view of the host's idea of taking shortcuts, the system will forcibly start the main and side quests of Tiantian Food Store."

"Current main quest: Please prepare a sumptuous breakfast for the guest from Gexi Forest, Sensitive Plant, within one hour. If the quest is completed, you will get +10 gratitude points from the planar diner. If it times out, the quest fails."

Yuan Tiantian: "......"

Although the system only said three simple sentences, Yuan Tiantian had millions of swear words in her mind. This damn system actually had a compulsory quest?! Fine. Yuan Tiantian opened the system panel and sure enough saw two new interfaces, the main quest and the side quest. For now, there was only the main quest. When she opened it, there was a small note behind the gratitude points.

When the gratitude value of this planar diner reaches 100, a gratitude reward from the diner will be obtained.

What should she cook? Yuan Tiantian looked at the little cute creature. There were no ingredients now, and she had to finish cooking within an hour. Yuan Tiantian thought of Aunt Qian next door. She'd go to borrow some ingredients from her!

"Can I call you Xiuxiu? I'm going out for a while. Will you wait for me here?"

After hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, Sensitive Plant nodded and then shook his head. Yuan Tiantian was full of question marks. What did this mean?

"Go out with you. Call me Xiuxiu."

After saying that, a blush appeared on his white face. He lowered his head shyly and played with his chubby little hands. Yuan Tiantian was like a foolish king bewitched by beauty. How could she say no? Take him!

However, when they got to Aunt Qian's place and Yuan Tiantian saw Aunt Qian looking at Sensitive Plant in surprise, she realized she had been careless. Sensitive Plant's fresh green hair was really eye - catching.

"Auntie, this is a relative's child in the family. I'm taking care of him for a few days. The hair is just dyed for fun."

Seeing Aunt Qian's disapproving look, Yuan Tiantian quickly explained and then stated her purpose of borrowing ingredients.

"Eggs and old brown sugar? I have them..." Aunt Qian directly took out five eggs and two pieces of old brown sugar. Yuan Tiantian wanted to pay, but Aunt Qian refused. Yuan Tiantian didn't insist. She thought that she would invite Aunt Qian's family to have a meal when the food store officially opened.

"I'll make you poached eggs in brown sugar water when we get back!"

"Great!"

Sensitive Plant was extremely happy. His round eyes turned into a line. He had never eaten it before!
