My Good Life

You couldn’t take care of anything if you didn’t talk back. It was best to refute in a cold and calm voice. It should seem like you have a strong mind and that you weren’t afraid of his appearance. Li Wei was really upset about my beggar’s attitude, so he raised his hand up. Li Zhi slammed her elbow into my side twice, just like in the elementary school class. I wanted to remind everyone that the teacher’s (aka Li Wei’s) eyes and suspicion was on our table.

“If I remember correctly, a few days ago, your classmate who is an editor came to you. Didn’t he give you a draft fee? Still no money to pay?”

I turned around and looked at the four-person group on the roof.

Aside from me, they were as quiet as dead chickens. Because of the pending debt, no one dared to question Li Wei. I wasn’t a fowl corpse, so I tilted my head and stared at Li Wei while calmly saying”The roof was leaking. The corridor was missing. The toilet was often blocked. The water heater was broken. I fixed the roof. For the overhaul, the money spent was mine. It’s reasonable to say those expenses should be paid by the landlord.”

I pointed out more shortcomings. “The only bus stop nearby was at a distance of 300 meters. But because Chongqing’s terrain is mountainous, it takes fifteen minutes to reach there. Your price matches the current housing price in Chongqing. But you should know your eight-story old building’s location is in a deserted area. The building is old. The traffic is inconvenient. The property management is bad. The elevator isn’t working. It’s only a 40 square meters small room. And you’re demanding double months’ worth of rent from me? You bully me. Is it because I’m a human?”

When I finished talking, the roof was dead quiet and the three non-humans looked at me with contempt. After releasing my temper, Li Wei with his calm cold voice said, “I’m bullying you because you are human.” He asked in a word. “What’s wrong with that?”

This shameless vampire! I really wanted to slap his face, but… in this case, I swallowed my anger and smiled a little.

“I will give you your rent next week.”

He just left. Before closing the door on the roof, he waved his hand and said, “Clean up the roof. If I find another private barbecue next time, I’ll be cleaning you up.”

*Thud*

The door closed and we felt like four defeated chickens. Li Zhi came around patted my shoulder.

“Xiaoxin, work hard again next time.”

I took a big bite from the skewer. In today’s update, I’ll draw Li Wei as a pig.
