As dawn broke, Ning Xi was awakened by thirst.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with He Kezhou's magnified sleeping face.

The next second, she looked down and saw that she was wrapped around He Kezhou with both her hands and feet. He Kezhou's arm was being used as a pillow by her, and his other hand was on her waist.

Their actions were extremely intimate.

The two were standing too close, and He Kezhou's breath gently brushed against her face, making her feel a little itchy.

Ning Xi's cheeks instantly flushed, and she awkwardly wanted to shrink back, but was afraid of waking He Kezhou.

She remembered that she always slept very regularly, and could stay in one position all night.

Ning Xi stared at He Kezhou's face, stunned by his long eyelashes.

She felt like she had never looked at He Kezhou's face so closely or so carefully before.

This handsome and authoritative face is becoming increasingly valuable.

Ning Xi couldn't help but exclaim, "He Kezhou's eyelashes are so long! And his nose is so straight!"

If you pluck his eyelashes and attach them to your own, it would look great.

Ning Xi shook her head, refusing to be bewitched by that face again.

She gently pulled away from him, her movements were very light, but they still woke He Kezhou.

He Kezhou opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Ning Xi's face.

Ning Xi's eyes darted away, and her voice sounded unnatural: "I remembered I wanted to drink some water."

He Kezhou buried his face in Ning Xi's neck. "What time is it?"

His voice was groggy, with a magnetic, low huskiness.

Ning Xi held her breath and couldn't help pinching her ears, which were being sprayed with hot air.

She didn't bring her phone into the room. When He Kezhou asked for the time, she propped herself up to reach for his phone, which was on the bedside table.

She tapped the screen.

"5:46, do you want to get up?"

He Kezhou opened his eyes, his usual cold and sharp demeanor gone, his eyebrows drooping, heavy with sleepiness, full of languid weariness.

Ning Xi found it quite novel that he looked like he hadn't had enough sleep.

The quiet phone vibrated.

Mr. Zhang called.

Ning Xi handed her phone to He Kezhou and got up to go outside to get some water.

With the door half-open, you could hear Boss Zhang's loud voice saying he would be at the entrance of the community in ten minutes.

After finishing the phone call, He Kezhou came out of his room to wash up.

After finishing her water, Ning Xi didn't immediately go back to her room to take a nap.

She packed He Kezhou's cold medicine and throat lozenges into a bag, and then stuffed two apples into the plastic bag for him to have for breakfast.

The morning light filled the living room, and the morning breeze flowed in through the window, bringing with it the unique coolness of the morning.

Ning Xi handed the plastic bag containing the items to He Kezhou, who had finished washing up, her expression languid, and she didn't say anything.

He Kezhou looked down at her in the morning light.

Ning Xi smiled at him, "Why are you standing there staring at me like an idiot? If you don't go out soon, Boss Zhang will get impatient waiting."

He Kezhou wrapped his long arm around Ning Xi's waist and gave her a tight hug.

Ning Xi looked up at him.

He Kezhou didn't even realize that his body was beginning to involuntarily crave to be close to her and touch her.

He relaxed his fair skin, his brows and eyes looking relaxed and languid.

Ning Xi noticed that He Kezhou this morning had a very human touch.

His face is no longer expressionless.

She told He Kezhou, "Drive carefully. I'll be waiting for you at home. We'll move together tomorrow."

He Kezhou told Ning Xi, "Leave the things you need to pack for me to collect when I get back. You don't need to pack them in advance."

Ning Xi smiled and said okay.

After He Kezhou left, Ning Xi found her phone on the sofa and prepared to take it to her room to charge it before taking a nap.

Her two interviews today are at 10:00 AM and 15:00 PM.

It's still early.

Ning Xi opened her phone and found that Cheng Rou had sent her a lot of messages last night.

She frowned slightly after reading the message.

She gave Cheng Rou a question mark.

In her memory, the original owner and her best friend Cheng Rou had completely broken up two months ago.

Cheng Rou and Ning Xi grew up together, and were classmates from elementary school to university. In university, they applied for the same major and were assigned to the same dormitory.

The inseparable best friends in the eyes of outsiders are just a facade.

The original owner disliked Cheng Rou's constant attempts to match her with her brother, resented that Cheng Rou looked down on her but imitated her in every way, and was even more annoyed by her aunt's constant comparisons between Cheng Rou and her.

Cheng Rou looked down on Ning Xi from the bottom of her heart and despised her for trying to take shortcuts with her looks and using tricks to seduce men.

To save money while looking for jobs after graduation, the two decided to share an apartment.

Instead of finding a job related to her major, Cheng Rou took a job as a car sales consultant. Thanks to her excellent sales skills, her salary was three or four times that of the original owner who worked at the kindergarten.

Upon learning that the original owner had found a wealthy boyfriend through online dating, Cheng Rou was furious and immediately moved into her brother's newly renovated house.

On the night Cheng Rou moved out, the male landlord unexpectedly entered the house late at night with the keys Cheng Rou had returned.

If the original owner hadn't had the habit of locking the door before going to sleep, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Before the original owner could even call the police, the landlord's wife showed up at the door.

The male landlord remained calm and instead accused the original owner of sending him those kinds of messages in the middle of the night to seduce him.

The landlady knew what kind of person her husband was and, not wanting to escalate the situation, blamed everything on the original owner of the body. Unable to defend himself, the original owner was kicked out by the landlady.

It was He Kezhou who arrived and gave the original owner a new place to stay.

This memory made Ning Xi lose the desire to go back to sleep.

In her mind, there was another memory of Cheng Rou's brother secretly lifting her skirt to take pictures, thinking that the original owner was asleep.

Ning Xi pressed her brow, the memory triggering unpleasant experiences from her past.

Cheng Rou and her brother are both bad people.
