Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend
Chapter 22 "We won't always be this strapped for cash."
He Kezhou only took six hundred yuan in cash and left. Before leaving the house, he lowered his head slightly and stared at Ning Xi, who was putting on a sun hat and mask as she left the room. "Let's not argue."
Ning Xi was fully armed, with only her bright eyes showing.
She didn't force He Kezhou to take all the cash.
You can take more when you're done using it.
Ning Xi walked over to He Kezhou, who was already standing in the entryway and had changed his shoes. "Don't argue with me, we won't fight."
He Kezhou pursed his lips into a thin line, his expression extremely serious as he assured her, "We won't always be this strapped for cash."
Ning Xi nodded earnestly, "I believe you."
Her voice was soft yet firm.
He Kezhou is the youngest son of a wealthy tycoon in Hong Kong, so of course he won't always be struggling financially. Aside from his status, as an ordinary person, he has high intelligence and excellent self-reliance skills.
How much money he makes depends solely on whether he wants to or not.
Ning Xi assumed that He Kezhou just wanted to experience the life of an ordinary person, and that one day in the future, when he had enough of the life of an ordinary person, he would return to his original social class.
She won't bother you then.
She could treat He Kezhou, an ordinary person, as her boyfriend and roommate without any psychological burden.
When his identity is revealed, she will know her place.
Marrying into a wealthy family? She had no such idea.
To live a peaceful life through one's own efforts and passions is her pursuit.
He Kezhou stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave his house.
Ning Xi noticed the detail that He Kezhou was waiting for her to go out together, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She bent down and picked out a pair of low-heeled pink ballet-style sandals from the shoe cabinet and placed them on the ground.
She was carefully fastening the buckle on her left shoe, unaware of the tenderness in He Kezhou's eyes as he looked at her.
Ning Xi encouraged herself in her heart, telling herself to believe in herself and that she would earn a lot of money through her own abilities.
The poverty we are experiencing now is temporary.
Today she wore a beige halter dress that reached her ankles, with a light, loose-fitting, designer-style cover-up in the same color over it.
Ning Xi lifted her foot and bent down to fasten the other shoe buckle. Her skirt caught on the shoe, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.
Upon seeing this, He Kezhou immediately reached out his arm and firmly held her waist to support her.
Ning Xi looked up from He Kezhou's arms and smiled somewhat sheepishly: "Luckily you caught me. I'm fine now, let's go."
The sight of that slender waist in his palm made He Kezhou's throat involuntarily tighten.
He Kezhou released his large hand from her waist.
Ning Xi followed He Kezhou into the elevator. The two stood close together, and she inadvertently touched He Kezhou's hanging hand during her movements.
The next second, He Kezhou took her hand.
Ning Xi tilted her head and glanced at him.
He Kezhou's face was expressionless, but his ears were covered with a light pink tinge.
You can't see it at all if you don't look closely.
Ning Xi let him hold her hand without hesitation, and lingered in the stuffy elevator with her heart pounding.
He Kezhou delivered Ning Xi to the express delivery station by electric bike.
Ning Xi took an umbrella out of her canvas bag and handed it to He Kezhou: "The weather forecast says it will rain today. Don't ride your electric bike to look at houses. Take a taxi or public transportation instead."
He Kezhou raised his hand and used the back of his hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Ning Xi deliberately put on a stern face, "Did you hear what I said?"
He Kezhou nodded.
Ning Xi was displeased. "You should say you heard it."
He Kezhou repeated Ning Xi's words, "I heard you."
Ning Xi was satisfied.
Watching He Kezhou ride away on his electric bike, she went into the store.
She came to check out the place today, but didn't run into the proprietress and her son.
Xi Xiaodong, his eyes swollen like walnuts, squatted among piles of express deliveries, tears streaming down his face.
Ning Xi was startled. "What's wrong?"
Xi Xiaodong made a gesture as if he were taking his heart out and sewing it back together with a needle.
Ning Xi was completely bewildered: "Who broke your heart?"
Xi Xiaodong remained silent.
Ning Xi joined in the work, her curiosity piqued.
However, she didn't say much.
After a while, Xi Xiaodong suddenly spoke up, "My girlfriend of three years broke up with me last night."
Ning Xi scratched her hair.
So it turns out she was heartbroken.
She asked Xi Xiaodong, "Is there anything I can do to make you feel less sad and upset?"
Xi Xiaodong blew his nose with a tissue. "A glass of Mixue Ice Cream lemonade."
Ning Xi ordered takeout on her phone, saying, "Since you're heartbroken, I'll treat you to an expensive drink."
Xi Xiaodong, carrying a pile of packages, said, "Let's get some supplies."
Ning Xi ordered two 9.9 cups of coffee.
On this day, her work was anything but boring or tedious.
He Kezhou went house hunting in the morning, and video-chatted with her after each house he visited.
Upon seeing the fourth one, Ning Xi felt that none of them were as good as the second one.
She typed to He Kezhou, saying that the second house was very good, and that the landlord seemed honest and reliable, so she could rent that one.
The second apartment was near the car dealership where He Kezhou worked, a one-bedroom unit of about 70 square meters. The rent was 5,300 yuan a month, directly from the landlord, but He Kezhou negotiated a reduction to one month's deposit and two months' rent in advance.
After hanging up the video call, Ning Xi was extremely busy.
In the afternoon, Xi Xiaodong's mood improved slightly, and he took the initiative to tell Ning Xi the horror story of his three-year online relationship with his girlfriend.
After listening to it, Ning Xi felt that it was indeed a horror story.
Xi Xiaodong's online girlfriend of three years is a 300-pound voice actor.
She also learned that Xi Xiaodong was a faceless game streamer with hundreds of thousands of followers, and that he and this online "girlfriend" had developed into an online romantic relationship when he first created his account.
They've been in an online relationship for three years, but have never met in person. Xi Xiaodong gave all the money he earned as a game streamer to his online "girlfriend."
Xi Xiaodong, holding a utility knife, dragged his feet, looking utterly lifeless.
Ning Xi took the utility knife from his hand. "It's okay if you can't calm down, but you can't play with knives."
Xi Xiaodong leaned dejectedly against the delivery rack. "Do you understand? What I want is not for him to give me back my money."
Ning Xi finished his sentence before he could finish, "You want him to give you a girlfriend in return."
The auntie who came to pick up the package asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you desperate for a woman?"
Ning Xi coughed lightly.
My aunt really knows how to deliver a fatal blow.
Xi Xiaodong did not choose to call the police. He told Ning Xi that he would not come to the inn for part-time work after he finished tomorrow.
Ning Xi said she was the same.
She's moving.
After receiving their wages for the day, Xi Xiaodong asked Ning Xi, "Do you want some ice cream?"
