Linhai City has a total of eight administrative districts, the most central of which is Pingguang District, which serves as the economic center. The house that Si Peng rented is in Pingguang District.
The urban village where Li Kai lives belongs to Shanghe District.
Although the two administrative districts are close to each other, there is a huge gap in development between them. Shanghe District is not much different from the backward fourth- and fifth-tier cities, and only Pingguang District truly has the development level of a quasi-first-tier city.
Naturally, renting houses in Pingguang District is very expensive.
Si Peng rents a small apartment, less than 50 square meters, and the monthly rent is 2,800 yuan. Although the rent is a bit expensive, this guy lives very happily by himself, so it is worth it.
Originally, Si Peng wanted Li Kai to come and share the rent, but even after sharing the rent equally, it exceeded Li Kai's expectations.
Although Si Peng expressed his willingness to pay more at that time, Li Kai was not willing to take advantage of Si Peng. In addition, Si Peng's girlfriend often came to stay overnight from time to time, so the matter was eventually dropped.
It took nearly 20 minutes by taxi to reach the apartment building where Si Peng rented, and it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
Li Kai paid the taxi fare, took the elevator upstairs, took out the key from the fire extinguisher box, opened the door, threw the things he brought with him on the messy sofa, then went straight into the room, lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
He had experienced too many things today and was already tired. Now he just wanted to have a good sleep.
The next morning, Li Kai woke up because of hunger.
As soon as he woke up, he heard a loud snoring coming from outside. The snoring was so loud, like thunder, that it made his ears buzz.
"This guy snores so loudly, how does his girlfriend stand it?"
Li Kai opened his mouth and yawned, listening to the deafening snoring outside, thinking speechlessly.
Although he had gotten used to Si Peng's snoring after several years in college, he was still shocked every time he heard him snoring.
When Li Kai came out of the room, he saw Si Peng lying on the sofa and snoring in a very indecent posture. He had not even taken off the suit uniform he wore to work yesterday. His big belly was exposed, and it rose and fell with the rhythm of his snoring.
Almost half of this guy's body was exposed outside the sofa, and he could fall off the sofa at any time.
"You really need to lose some weight, your belly is almost bigger than others who are pregnant for several months."
Li Kai said to Si Peng somewhat speechlessly.
It's been such a long time since I last saw him, but I feel like his belly is visibly bigger than before.
If he wasn't so much stronger now, he probably wouldn't be able to move Si Peng's nearly 200 kilograms of fat.
Si Peng, who was soundly sleeping, of course did not hear what Li Kai said. Even the process of Li Kai moving his body onto the sofa did not affect his sleep. He slept very soundly the whole time.
Li Kai ignored him and went to the kitchen. He found a bag of bread from the refrigerator, opened it and filled his stomach temporarily, then cooked porridge for breakfast.
Just after washing the rice and putting it into the pot, he suddenly remembered something and went to the sofa in the living room and picked up a bag.
The bag contained the rat meat from the acid-spraying rats that were brought over last night.
Pick out a part of the rat meat, wash it and chop it into pieces. After simple processing, pour the processed rat meat directly into the rice cooker, press the power switch, and start cooking the meat porridge.
Li Kai looked at the time and saw that it was still early, just past six o'clock, so he went back to bed and caught up on his sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already half past seven. Si Peng, who had been sleeping deeper than a pig, had woken up earlier and even sat at the table to eat breakfast.
"If you don't get up, I'll eat all the porridge by myself."
Si Peng saw Li Kai coming out of the room and greeted him: "What kind of meat did you put in it? It tastes quite chewy, but the taste is not very good. I can only give it a six at most."
"Why do you eat so much when it tastes so bad?"
Li Kai went to the kitchen to get a bowl for the porridge, only to find that only half of the porridge was left in the rice cooker.
The corner of his mouth twitched: "...You really want to eat it?!"
"Isn't this just to give you face?" Si Peng chuckled, "After all, you worked so hard to make this breakfast, so of course I have to eat more to show my support."
Li Kai also gave this guy a middle finger.
"Why did you suddenly come to stay at my place last night? Has your lease expired?" Si Peng asked casually.
"We're almost there." Li Kai spoke vaguely, not mentioning what happened last night. "The landlord wants to raise the rent, so I'm going to move to another place."
"Why don't you just come live with me? It would be so great if we could play games together every night."
"What the hell, what will you do when your girlfriend comes over to stay the night? Am I supposed to just sit there and watch?"
"What's the relationship between us? Forget about watching the battle. I have no objection even if you join the battle!"
"Okay! Then I'll be the first one to knock you down!"
"…Rebellious son! You are going against human ethics!"
"Isn't it that the son inherits the father's fluid?"
"…"
While the two were eating breakfast and chatting, they suddenly heard Si Peng exclaim "Oh shit".
Li Kai looked up and saw that it was Si Peng who suddenly started bleeding from the nose.
"...You're so weak now?" Li Kai looked at him in astonishment. "You're bleeding from your nose so early in the morning?"
"I'm a man who has sex seven times a night, and you say I'm weak?" Si Peng frantically took out a tissue to wipe the blood from his nose and defended himself, "This is weird, I've never had a nosebleed since I was a child, why did I suddenly have a nosebleed today?"
He himself was a little puzzled.
Li Kai was about to tease this guy again when he heard Si Peng say, "Fortunately there are only a few mouthfuls of porridge left, otherwise it would be wasted."
Just now, a few drops of nose blood fell into his porridge bowl.
Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of Si Peng, Li Kai was suddenly stunned, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
It's rat meat.
The meat of acid-spraying rats contains extremely high energy, which is equivalent to tonic foods such as ginseng.
It is okay for ordinary people to eat a little, but if you eat too much at once, it is easy to become unable to receive the tonic.
