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

Ning Xi was unbearably hot, but the mention of ice cream perked her up.

"eat!"

She wants to eat two.

The two hit it off immediately and went to the 24-hour convenience store outside the residential area.

On the way, Ning Xi turned on her phone, which she hadn't touched all afternoon.

There's a missed call on my phone, saved as "Auntie". On WeChat, there are also three missed video calls with the same contact name, "Auntie".

Ning Xi quickly returned the video call.

The video was answered instantly.

The woman in the video was dressed in a simple dark short-sleeved shirt, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and her hair was neatly tied back. She exuded the seriousness and authority characteristic of a middle-aged teacher with many years of experience. The look in her eyes held a hint of suppressed disappointment.

Ning Xi pointed her phone camera at herself and called out, "Auntie."

This is the original owner's biological aunt who raised her.

After giving birth to the original owner, the mother could no longer endure her mother-in-law's preference for sons and her tormenting behavior, so she ran away with a wealthy contractor. When the original owner was less than a year old, her father was accidentally killed by a falling object at a construction site.

The compensation money from the construction site was used entirely by the original owner's grandmother to support her youngest son.

After that, it was her aunt Ning Fangping who took the original owner in and raised her. She was unmarried and had a child in tow. Even though she had a stable job, she couldn't find a good husband and eventually chose to remain unmarried for life.

Ning Fangping is a high school math teacher. She was strict with her former teachers from a young age, had extremely high expectations of them, and was known for her stern and domineering personality.

For so many years, the original owner had been trying to get rid of her aunt's controlling nature and strict demands.

After starting work, I almost never contacted my aunt proactively.

Every time she received a call or video call from her aunt, she dared not not answer, yet she was also extremely impatient with her aunt's lectures.

Ning Fangping spoke, her tone extremely harsh: "Ning Xi, if Cheng Rou hadn't messaged me saying you resigned from the kindergarten, and if you hadn't ignored her messages and calls because she was worried about you, I wouldn't have known you hadn't worked for the past two months and had been supported by a man!"

"Is that how I taught you?"

"All those years of schooling, what good has it all been for?"

Ning Xi turned the volume down on her phone, not daring to argue or talk back.

Ning Fangping was furious: "I'll book you a ticket back to Hemeng right now. You can come back and take the entrance exam for a kindergarten or primary school in town, and settle down with a job."

Hemeng is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of H Province. Although it is not as good as Xincheng, which is the provincial capital, it is still a well-developed third- or fourth-tier city.

It takes less than two hours by subway from Xincheng back to Hemeng.

Ning Xi wanted to stay in the provincial capital and found a suitable job, so Ning Fangping didn't force Ning Xi to follow the plan she had set for her.

Xi Xiaodong, holding the ice cream he had already paid for, went to Ning Xi, who was making a video call, and accidentally entered the frame.

Ning Xi waved to him, indicating that he should eat first.

Xi Xiaodong silently took several steps back to make sure he wouldn't enter the country again.

Aunt Ningxi looked exactly like his ruthless head teacher from high school. The fear of being dominated by the head teacher for three years of high school suddenly attacked him.

Ning Fangping frowned deeply. "If it's inconvenient for you to talk right now, then find a place where it's convenient to talk."

Ning Xi did not exhibit the strong rebelliousness the original owner felt when facing her aunt.

But this way of communicating was too forceful, and she wanted to wait until Ning Fangping calmed down a bit before speaking.

"Auntie, it's convenient to talk now. I've been working part-time at the inn these past few days and have also had a few interviews. I'll find a new job soon."

Ning Fangping stared intently into Ning Xi's eyes, and when she saw that Ning Xi's gaze did not dart away, she knew that Ning Xi was not lying to her.

Her tone left no room for negotiation: "If you don't want to come back on your own, then I'll personally come to Xincheng and bring you back to Hemeng."

"Hemeng is where you grew up. Come back, take the kindergarten entrance exam, and get a stable, reliable job. Once you have a stable job, find a local boyfriend. Isn't that better than you struggling here and there, constantly doing unstable jobs that don't pay well?"

"You always think I'm trying to harm you. I'm your own aunt, how could I possibly harm you?"

Ning Xi knew that no matter what she said, Ning Fangping was in a fit of anger and wouldn't listen to her at all.

With her eyelashes lowered and her attitude very proper, she said, "Auntie, I'm not a child anymore."

Ning Fangping could tell from the video that she was outside with friends, and warned her in a low voice, "Precisely because you're not a child anymore, but an adult, you should be more responsible for your actions. You'd better break up with your hoodlum boyfriend before I come to Xincheng."

Ning Xi was puzzled. How did He Kezhou become a gangster?

She wondered if the original owner's best friend, Cheng Rou, had exaggerated something to Ning Fangping.

Ning Fangping habitually used a commanding tone when managing students: "Remember to call Cheng Rou back. People shouldn't forget their roots. She helped you and supported you when you were in trouble. You should know how to be grateful."

Ning Xi nodded obediently.

The ice cream Xi Xiaodong was holding had been out of the freezer for too long, and fine ice beads were starting to seep out. He handed the boxed ice cream to Ning Xi, who was on video call, and said, "Listening to your aunt, I dreamt I was back in high school."

It's so depressing.

Ning Xi opened the ice cream and used a wooden stick to scoop out a mouthful of batter and stuff it into her mouth.

So cold!

What could be more blissful than enjoying a bite of something ice-cold on a hot summer day?!

At that moment, Ning Xi felt no!

Xi Xiaodong took a bite of his ice cream and looked at her: "Are you alright?"

Ning Xi said she couldn't be better.

Xi Xiaodong pointed to the various small bottles of imported liquor on the shelf: "Would you like a special iced cocktail?"

Ning Xi declined, saying, "My boyfriend should be waiting for me at home. I should go back now."

Xi Xiaodong said "okay," and picked out a lot of wine from the shelf to pay for.

He's going to drink a lot tonight.

Ning Xi left the convenience store and went to a fruit shop and a pharmacy on the way, where she bought a few pears, fritillaria bulbs, and cold medicine for He Kezhou's illness.

She texted He Kezhou, asking if he was home and if he had eaten dinner.

He Kezhou called her via video.

Ning Xi answered the call.

The video camera was shaky, but she heard He Kezhou say that he ate two rice balls for dinner.

There was also a male voice that didn't belong to He Kezhou, "Boss, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"

He Kezhou's voice was hoarse as he replied, "Thank you."

Ning Xi could see clearly the makeshift screen protector stand set up in He Kezhou's camera lens, as well as the people surrounding He Kezhou.

She blinked. "I thought you were home this afternoon."

It's easy to see that He Kezhou's makeshift screen protector stand is doing exceptionally well.

He Kezhou propped up his phone, pointed the camera at himself, and focused on applying a screen protector.

Expecting He Kezhou to rest at home is like expecting an iron tree to bloom.

Ning Xi chuckled and teased him, "Boss He, when are you planning to go home? It looks like it's going to rain soon."

While applying the screen protector, He Kezhou said to her, "I'm at the subway entrance, so I won't get wet in the rain, and I have the umbrella you gave me."

Someone laughed and shouted, "How come I get bombarded with PDA just for putting on a screen protector?!"

"Boss, your girlfriend misses you. She's worried about you getting soaked in the rain and wants you to go home soon."

"Such a handsome boyfriend, and instead of keeping him hidden, they dare to let him show his face in public!"

"Miss, can I ask your boyfriend for his contact information?"

The surrounding sounds revolve around Ning Xi's words, requiring reading comprehension.

Some girls even boldly approached Ning Xi, asking for He Kezhou's contact information.

Ning Xi said to the camera, "My boyfriend loves me very much, and I trust him completely."

"Applying a screen protector is fine, but contacting me won't work."

He Kezhou took out a new tempered glass screen protector and glanced at Ning Xi in the video.

Ning Xi feigned seriousness, "He Kezhou, did you hear me?"

He Kezhou hummed in agreement. "I can't give you my contact information."

Ning Xi was amused by his seriousness. She generously let everyone tease her and would even respond with a few words in response.

In the following time, she could sense that He Kezhou was surrounded and even busier.

The sound coming from the receiver was very loud and disruptive.

He Kezhou frowned slightly, but didn't hang up the video call; instead, he turned off his own audio.

Ning Xi smiled and told He Kezhou to be home before 10 o'clock.

"I'll make you some pear and fritillaria cirrhosa soup and wait for you to come back. If you don't come back by 10 o'clock, I won't wait for you anymore."
