Liu Kai naturally caught a glimpse of everyone's reactions out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately sneered inwardly.

Just now, Ji Zihan told everyone, "Seeing Mr. Qiu is like seeing me."

They haven't even done anything yet, and they're already acting like they're facing a major crisis?

They can't even act convincingly.

In addition, Liu Kai noticed the reaction of another person.

Ma Yongxing.

This person was not as vigilant as others.

They didn't share Xu Qingfeng's confusion.

Unlike Ji Zihan, who seemed nonchalant and unafraid of Xiao Hei hurting people.

Instead, a barely perceptible look of worry crossed his face.

She quickly returned to normal, mimicking Ji Zihan's calm demeanor.

But he didn't know that Liu Kai had already started scanning.

He could see the bodies of everyone present.

Ji Zihan and Ma Yongxing were not as calm as they appeared; their hearts were pounding in their chests.

He just kept a straight face.

He wasn't sure if Ji Zihan's nervousness stemmed from fear that Xiao Hei might hurt him.

But it's clear why Ma Yongxing is worried: dogs have a very sensitive nose and are afraid of smelling something.

I glanced at this person discreetly.

She then looked at Ji Zihan with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, my dog ​​is a bit strong, but it's very docile."

Ji Zihan withdrew his gaze from Xiao Hei and then glanced at Xiao Bai, who was also the size of a lynx.

He exclaimed sincerely, "Brother Qiu is truly an extraordinary person; even his pets are so unusual. Hehe, let's go in together."

The group chatted and laughed as Ji Zihan led them into the spacious top floor of the villa.

Blackie and Whitey followed closely behind the security personnel, who were watching them with ill intent.

The luxuriousness of the villa's decoration goes without saying.

Even the Imperial Villas in the Lishiquyuan residential complex might not be as good as this place.

The indoor heating was also excellent, and the lights were on.

The indoor temperature was already 20 degrees Celsius.

Everyone took off their thick winter coats and hung them on the rack.

However, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai showed little reaction to the nearly 80-degree temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

I looked at it curiously from left to right for a while.

Following Liu Kai's orders, they lay down in a corner of the spacious top floor.

Ji Zihan took in their entire performance.

From this small example, it can be inferred that they also frequently experience this temperature difference.

In other words, the place where Liu Kai lives is no worse than my place!

He didn't show any unnecessary expression.

With a cheerful demeanor, he invited everyone to sit around the large round dining table.

Liu Kai was specially arranged to sit in the "seat of honor" facing south.

Behind him was an ancient screen painting that looked quite valuable.

Ji Zihan sat to Liu Kai's left, while Xu Qingfeng and his wife were seated to his right.

Ma Yongxing, the third-in-command of the mutual aid association, was sitting opposite Liu Kai.

This is another arrangement that shows great consideration.

soon.

Several servants brought up plates of steaming hot dishes from downstairs in the villa.

Cabbage and sliced ​​pork soup, shredded pork with garlic sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs...

There are more than ten questions in total.

Before the cold snap, such dishes could only be considered ordinary home-style dishes, and even gave people a cheap feeling.

However, nowadays, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are comparable to state banquets.

After all, meat is relatively easy to store.

However, looking at the incredibly fresh cabbage, lettuce, and greens, a strange light flashed in Liu Kai's eyes.

It has now been 55 days since the cold wave arrived.

Even the most advanced refrigerator couldn't have kept the vegetables fresh until now.

He was able to eat fresh vegetables entirely thanks to his spatial abilities.

Other survivors who were slightly more luxurious at most ate pre-prepared dehydrated vegetables soaked in hot water.

But Ji Zihan actually managed to get his hands on such rare goods!

Liu Kai couldn't help but recall the scene Qin Luofei had described: the crops planted in the central area of ​​that mysterious stadium.

Ji Zihan is a shrewd and meticulous person who leaves no room for error in his work.

He instructed the servants to bring out two more large steel basins.

They poured in a lot of high-end canned meat and placed them in front of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai respectively.

Although they are foodies, they usually eat and drink well with Liu Kai.

Naturally, they looked down on this canned meat.

However, upon meeting Liu Kai's rather warning gaze, he instantly understood.

He pretended to be someone who hadn't eaten meat in eight lifetimes and started showing off the meat in front of him like crazy.

The guests were seated, and the dishes were served.

Ji Zihan was also generous.

He pulled out four antique-looking white porcelain bottles of Moutai and one bottle of high-end red wine from under the table.

He personally got up and distributed the food to the four men and one woman present.

He began his opening remarks.

"As you all know, I, Lao Ji, am by nature carefree and dislike formalities."

"So let's skip the fancy wine dispenser. We're all family here, so let's be straightforward and give each person a bottle until we finish it."

He then looked at Xu Qingfeng's wife, He Xiaoxiao, and gave her a kind smile.

"Of course, ma'am, please feel free to do as you please."

He then turned to Liu Kai, who was in the main seat, and asked, "Brother Qiu, is this arrangement acceptable?"

Looking at Ji Zihan's amiable and agreeable attitude, one could see that he was trying to please everyone.

Liu Kai naturally didn't say anything more.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "When in Rome, do as the host says. I will follow Mr. Ji's arrangements."

"Hey, Brother Qiu, don't be so polite. If you don't mind, just call me Ji Zihan, or Brother Ji."

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony, Brother Ji!"

"Okay, okay, hehe!"

Ji Zihan's smile grew even brighter, and a few wrinkles even appeared at the corners of his eyes.
