Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend

Ning Xi quietly sat up straight, increasing the distance between herself and He Kezhou.

At Ning Xi's signal, He Kezhou released her hand.

Before letting go, he deliberately scratched her palm.

This subtle action went unnoticed.

Ning Xiaoxiao didn't notice anything amiss in the atmosphere. She showed Ning Xi the nail marks Ning Yueyue had left on her, saying, "Don't be fooled by Ning Yueyue's silence; she's terrified inside."

Ning Yueyue's face fell, and she didn't want to lose face in front of Ning Xi and her boyfriend. "Who said I was scared? You were too annoying, so I pinched you."

Ning Xiaoxiao didn't argue with her, afraid that she wouldn't take her to school.

On such a hot day, it's much more comfortable to ride in a car.

She quickly corrected herself, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

Ning Yueyue snorted softly, feeling she had regained her composure, and picked up the remote to find a recently popular suspense drama.

Ning Fangping asked Ning Xi to go out with her to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and get medicine.

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor lives nearby and had prescribed medicine for Ningxi several times before. The medicine was effective, but Ningxi didn't continue taking it.

Ning Xi slumped her head as her aunt nagged her.

She didn't secretly pour the medicine into the bathroom and flush it away.

Because of this, Ning Fangping got angry and stopped buying her medicine. She even cruelly made her suffer in pain.

Hearing that she had to leave now, Ning Xi became even more dejected.

It's so hot and sunny outside.

Ning Fangping handed the parasol to Ning Xi and instructed He Kezhou: "Xiao He, the sheets and blankets in Ning Xi's room have been changed, and the air conditioner is on. You need to drive this afternoon, so go take a nap."

Ning Xi didn't want to go back to Hemeng so soon; she hadn't spent enough time with her aunt yet.

Ning Xiaoxiao felt that she and her sister were bothering them by staying, so she suggested leaving.

Ning Fangping packed some fruit and ice cream for them.

Ning Xi was extremely envious.

She really wanted to eat a bite of ice cream too.

too hot.

Ning Xiaoxiao held up her unwrapped ice cream in front of Ning Xi and whispered to her, "Xi Xi, you can secretly lick it."

He Kezhou looked at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi didn't notice He Kezhou's gaze on her; his eyes were fixed on the ice cream in Ning Xiaoxiao's hand.

It's so hot, she's really tempted.

But my heart only fluttered for three seconds.

Stomach ache can be excruciating, so you have to watch what you eat.

Ning Fangping noticed their subtle movements and swept her sharp gaze over Ning Xi and Ning Xiaoxiao: "Ning Xi, try not to control your mouth."

Ning Xi immediately stood up straight. "I'll just smell it and feel the coolness of the ice cream."

Ning Fangping glared at her.

Ning Xi touched her nose.

Before leaving, Ning Yueyue said to Ning Xi, "If you have time, you should go back and visit your grandparents. They miss you a lot. Don't let people say behind your back that you're heartless."

Ning Fangping's face turned cold, and she called out to Ning Yueyue, "Did you say those words yourself, or did your grandparents tell you to say them?"

Ning Yueyue was stunned, wondering why her aunt had suddenly started acting up.

Ningxi has never been close to her grandparents, and over the years, she has rarely interacted with the children of her relatives.

Ning Fangping would only send gifts and a sum of money to her parents during the Chinese New Year; otherwise, she never went back home.

They would occasionally hang out with Ning Fangping because Ning Xiaoxiao liked to come over to her aunt's house for meals.

Ning Xiaoxiao quickly tried to soothe her aunt, and winked at Ning Xi, saying, "Don't pay any attention to Ning Yueyue's words, she's just being nosy."

Because of Ning Yueyue's words, Ning Fangping didn't say much the whole way.

After seeing the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, I can only pick up the prescribed medicine after 4 PM.

This time, it's not granular; it's a liquid even more bitter than Americano.

Ning Fangping was frugal with herself, but she paid over a thousand yuan for Ning Xi's medicine without batting an eye.

Ning Xi clung to her aunt's arm affectionately, "Auntie, don't be unhappy."

Ning Fangping pushed the umbrella that she had held out to shield her from the sun over her head, saying, "Anyone can say you have no conscience, but your grandparents can't."

Ningxi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"My grandparents weren't good to me, so I don't need to be good to them."

Ning Fangping was coaxed by Ning Xi all the way.

When they were almost home, Ning Fangping did not let Ning Xi go upstairs.

She pointed to the stone table and stone stools under the shade of the tree towards Ning Xi.

Ning Fangping felt that she had endless worries about Ning Xi.

Ning Xi's boyfriend is flawless.

Ning Xi saw that he treated her well and cared for her.

Ning Xi liked He Kezhou, and she didn't hide it.

Ning Fangping spoke earnestly, "I take back my previous prejudice against Xiao He, but Ning Xi, have you thought about your future together?"

"You're both still young, so feel free to date and have fun. But one thing is for girls to remember: protect your reputation."

Ning Xi was worried because she and her boyfriend had been living together for so long.

Ning Fangping was afraid that Ning Xi, the little scatterbrain, wouldn't understand her words, so she didn't mince words: "If you dare to get pregnant out of wedlock, I'll break your legs."

Ning Xi hurriedly promised that if she dared to do that, she would break her own legs without her aunt having to lift a finger.

Seeing that her face was slightly flushed and she was making a serious promise, Ning Fangping softened her tone.

Ning Xi didn't mind the heat and insisted on sitting close to her aunt on a stone stool.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why He Kezhou always liked to stick close to her.

Clinging tightly to her aunt, she felt a soft, comforting sense of security, and an overwhelming feeling of happiness.

Ning Xi looked at her aunt and grinned happily.

Aunt Fangfang gave her a sense of belonging and a home in this world.

Ning Fangping's next words caused Ning Xi's smile to fade abruptly.

"Ningxi, I don't want to hide it from you, but your mother called me a few days ago."

A woman who abandoned her husband and daughter and disappeared for nearly 22 years has reappeared.

The phone call came suddenly.

For the past few days, she has been thinking about whether or not to tell Ning Xi.

Ning Xi has the right to know these things.

Ning Xi's tone was flat, her eyes devoid of any emotion: "I don't have a mother, only an aunt."

Her aunt was the most important person to her.

Ning Fangping raised Ning Xi to adulthood, and only she knows the hardships and joys she endured.

She never complained, nor did she blame anyone.

But Xia Menglian's phone call made her resent her.

I hate her for being so cruel to Ning Xi.

They hated her for suddenly disrupting their peaceful lives.

Since they've been gone for so many years, why can't they just stay gone forever?

Ning Fangping knew that Ning Xi had always hoped in her heart that one day her mother would come back to find her.

She told me a lot about her recent situation and asked me how I had been all these years and whether I hated her.

"She is now capable and can take you to a better life."

Ning Xi clung tightly to her aunt, speaking somewhat hurriedly: "I'm doing very well. I don't hate her. I don't want to live a better life with her."

The original owner's mother was a complete stranger to her.

When her aunt asked her if she wanted to see her, Ning Xi answered without hesitation, "No."

She didn't want anyone to disrupt her and her aunt's peace.

Ning Xi rested her head on her aunt's shoulder and asked cautiously, word by word, "Auntie, will you abandon me?"

Ning Fangping felt a sudden clench in her chest, her heart heaving violently, and her eyes filled with a painful, stinging red.

Ning Xi has never felt safe since she was a child.

It's the same when you grow up.

"Listen to the nonsense you're spouting! I'm your own aunt, would I abandon you? Would I have raised you for nothing for over twenty years?"

Ning Xi wasn't upset at all by the scolding. She grinned and said, "I have the best aunt in the world, that's enough."

Ning Fangping wiped the sweat from her forehead without any gentleness.

Ning Xi cupped her hands to her lips, leaned close to her aunt's ear, and whispered two words in a soft, trembling voice: "Mom."

The soft, sweet address hit Ning Fangping's ears, and she froze on the spot, so stunned that she forgot to breathe.
