Don't follow the rules

Chapter 4 Double Happiness Apartment ([-])

A full day starts at 12:[-] noon.

After returning to the room, the stubborn sound of marbles continued to play. Ning Yao covered her head with a cotton quilt and endured it until the door of the apartment opened at 4 o'clock and a new day officially began, and then it finally stopped.Ning Yao simply lay down and slept until noon, finally making up for eight hours of sleep.

Being full of energy and paralyzed in bed, it's time to consider what kind of takeaway to start a new life of living alone.

Think about it a little bit, and place an order happily.Ning Yao is rarely troubled by "what to eat today".His credo is: When you don’t know what to eat, eat braised chicken and rice.

Although Ning Yao didn't intend to use the single kitchen on the balcony, while waiting for takeaway, the power of human boredom drove him to the balcony.

Looking out from the balcony, you can hardly see any city or community street view.Thanks to the mountainous terrain of Shuangxi City, even though Ning Yao lives on the 17th floor at this moment, he can still be blocked by the landscape trees about 5 meters outside the window.

Double Happiness City is a well-known mountain city, nicknamed "8D Magical City".Many buildings go in from the first floor and climb up to seven or eight floors, and then come out is still a busy road, and you follow the navigation for a long time to find that the destination is still above your head.

"Life!" Ning Yao looked out the window and tried to make a point. "Forget it..." His heart was empty and his head was empty.

Fortunately, this delivery guy is very professional. Judging from the delivery map, the delivery guy is able to handle the road conditions in Double Happiness City. He delivered the food very quickly and accurately, saving Ning Yao a lot of time to call the directions.

Ding Dong!

The voice of the takeaway brother came from outside the door: "Hello, your takeaway has been delivered, remember to give it a good review!"

Ning Yao, who was hungry, rushed to the door when he heard the words, and opened the door before the younger brother finished speaking.

There was no one at the door, even the entire corridor was very quiet, and the elevator was not running.

Ning Yao lowered his head, and the takeout was placed on the ground in the middle of the door, neatly and meticulously.

"Is the little brother delivering food in such a hurry now..."

Now lunch has indeed been delivered, but it doesn't look too good.

It's not that the food was spilled or damaged. Although the delivery boy came and went without a trace, he was very professional. The outer packaging of the delivered food was complete and clean, except for two long wooden skewers protruding from the mouth of the plastic bag. , no matter how you look at it, they don’t look like a pair of normal chopsticks.

Ning Yao carried the takeaway a little away from the house, squatted in the corridor and studied on the spot, and had no intention of bringing the takeaway into the room.

I obviously ordered the most ordinary braised chicken and rice, but I got chopsticks as long as hot pot shabu-shabu?
No, these are not chopsticks.

Ning Yao unsealed the plastic bag, and the chopsticks, which looked very bad, were indeed very bad.

Because it is not chopsticks at all, but the handles of a pair of joss sticks.

What's even worse is that the braised chicken and rice that Ning Yao has been thinking about for a long time on an empty stomach is not braised chicken and rice, but a bowl of "water rice".Water rice is not "porridge" or "porridge" in the usual sense, but boiled and cooled white rice soaked in cold water and stirred.Generally speaking, it is sprinkled on the street corners and alleys and given to the ghosts on the roadside to eat. The custom is called "water-splashed rice".

Now this bowl of rice, I would definitely not dare to put my mouth down after eating it, but I feel unwilling to throw it away, Ning Yao's brain is stuck in a buffer...

When Ning Yao was squatting in a secret posture at the entrance of the corridor not far from the door, struggling with today's lunch, there was a slightly hesitant sound of opening the door behind him.He looked back reflexively, and found that the one who opened the door was a neighbor next door who had never shown up since he moved in.

The neighbor seemed to be a serious boy, holding a black plastic bag in his left hand, and seemed to be planning to go out to throw out the trash, but he blocked the door by himself, hesitating for a long time and finally decided to open the door.At this time, the little brother was also looking at himself, his expression was a little complicated, and he seemed hesitant to speak.Only then did Ning Yao realize that there seemed to be something wrong with his posture, and hurriedly greeted him: "Have you eaten yet?"

The atmosphere became more and more embarrassing, Ning Yao bit the bullet and tried to ease the relationship with the neighbors: "I have a fresh takeaway here, do you want..."

"Crawl for me." The neighbor brother rejected Ning Yao's kindness very simply and retreated to the room and closed the door.

"No...it's not what you think..." Ning Yao stretched out his weak hand, but the little brother obviously didn't intend to listen to any unnecessary explanations.

Room 1703
【Do not accept gifts from neighbors】(cross out)

The neighbor brother closed the "Apartment Safety Instructions" in his hand. This rule had not been crossed out yesterday, but it suddenly changed today. I don't know who modified the rules, but he didn't intend to try the new rules.Living within a familiar and stable framework is the way to survive here.

Looks like the idiot outside the door is the new [resident]?Wish him good luck, after all, stupid people are blessed.

But it seems that the second fool passed the first night without any injuries. It seems that he is a newbie with good luck?However, it is not ruled out that they have experience in "twice-cooked pork" and you can get in touch with it if you have the opportunity.Here, multiple helpers can also slightly increase the probability of survival.

He walked towards the small living room, where the coffee table, dining table and chairs were neatly stacked on the sofa, trying to clear a space in the small room.There are some paper cards with handwritten notes placed in an orderly manner on the ground. This is the apartment information collected by the little brother.

Although the degree of alienation in this apartment is not high, there are abnormalities everywhere, and there are too many points to investigate, so it has not been able to find the core of this strange story so far.The context of the story is far from being clarified, and the high-heeled shoes sent out lost contact last night, and the next information collection can only be done by myself.

Rubbing between his brows, he sensed that those two idiots hadn't left yet, and were looking for something at his door like a dog.

"Dong dong dong" Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother! Open the door, brother!" Ning Yao knocked and howled.

Ugh

The neighbor brother had no choice but to open the door.

"Hello, handsome guy, hey hey hey," Ning Yao squeezed her face directly into the crack of the door without giving him a chance to refuse, "I have a favor to ask for!"

Brother: "You said..."

Ning Yao: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death. If possible, I would like to eat braised chicken and rice."

Brother: This person is definitely not a veteran!

Ning Yao: "Is there any milk tea?"

Brother: "...I brought some snacks."

Ning Yao: "Thank you, brother, you are my brother!"

The little brother turned around silently to look for his backpack, Ning Yao sneaked into the house very familiarly, and began to look at the new neighbor's private space with impunity.Due to the painful loss of the Pathfinder high heels last night, the younger brother also intends to recruit new teammates, so he did not speak out to stop such rude behavior.

Ning Yao shyly put on a smiling face that had never seen the world, and was groping around in the neighbor's house with the exact same layout, but forcibly pretending to be nonchalant, his acting skills were very shallow.

The neighbor brother flipped through his backpack and asked, "Swiss roll?"

Ning Yao: "Okay, thank you, brother. I'm Ning Yao, and I live next door to 1704. I haven't asked my brother yet, what's your name?"

Brother: "My surname is Chunyu."

Ning Yao: "From today onwards, my surname is also Chunyu. You are my older brother, and I am your half-brother!"

Chunyu: ...

Ning Yao clasped his heart in both hands: "Cai Cai, take it with you, boss, woo woo."

Chunyu: "If you BB again, I'll let me crawl."

Ning Yao hurriedly made a zipper to seal his mouth to show his cuteness.

Chunyu threw a few Swiss rolls out the door, took out the handbook from his pocket and shook it, then motioned Ning Yao to pick up the few Swiss rolls outside the door: "In this way, what I threw away is not [a gift from the neighbor]. "

Ning Yao, the evil dog, pounced on the food, chewed on the Swiss roll and blew a rainbow fart: "He is indeed the boss I like, the bug is always stuck."
