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

After hanging up the phone, Ning Fangping transferred five thousand yuan to Ning Xi.

The message that followed was a six-second voice message: "This five thousand yuan is a loan for you to tide you over. You'll have to pay it back next month when you get your salary."

Ning Xi hugged her knees, looking at the transfer, a warm feeling spreading in her eyes.

In her phone calls yesterday and today, Ning Fangping was angry that she didn't know how to respect and love herself. Her tone was serious and reproachful, and she was disappointed in her lack of self-respect. If it were the original owner of this body, she probably would have been unable to breathe by now.

But Ning Xi could sense that behind Ning Fangping's sharp criticism was concern.

Before she transmigrated into the book, she had few family ties. She grew up in an orphanage. On her fifth birthday, she was adopted by a middle-aged couple who had been trying to conceive for many years without success. Her adoptive parents treated her very well and provided her with a comfortable life.

When she was eight years old, her adoptive parents finally welcomed their own child.

From then on, the adoptive parents devoted all their energy and attention to their own child, while she was treated more like a guest in this family.

Her adoptive parents were both highly educated, and from the moment she came to this family, they always treated her with politeness and distance.

She moved out of that house after she came of age.

She has always been grateful to her adoptive parents. It is true that she never experienced maternal or paternal love.

Ning Xi found paper and pen, wrote an IOU, took a picture of it, and sent it to her.

Ning Fangping sent her a handshake emoji, adopting a businesslike attitude.

Ning Xi accepted the transfer from her aunt.

She didn't plan to touch the money; she intended to return it to her aunt intact after receiving her salary next month.

Ning Xi found a cute kissing emoji in her emoji library and sent it over.

She sent it three times in a row.

Ning Fangping ignored her, but Ning Xi clearly saw at the top of the chat box that the other party was typing...

Ten minutes later, the other person's typing disappeared, and the chat box became quiet.

Ning Xi rested her chin on her knees, her lips curving silently.

The phone, which had automatically turned off, suddenly displayed a video call interface; it was He Kezhou calling.

Ning Xi tapped the connection with her fingertip.

She immediately noticed a deep, bleeding scratch on He Kezhou's left cheek.

The camera switched to the front camera the next second.

Ning Xi could see clearly that He Kezhou was having dinner at a hot pot restaurant.

The red soup in the shot is boiling.

Her tone was somewhat anxious: "He Kezhou, what happened to your face?"

"Don't think I didn't see you just because you switched the camera so quickly!"

Zhang Tailai, who was opposite He Kezhou, hurriedly spoke up to explain, "Little sister, I'm Brother Zhang, the one who asked your boyfriend to drive for me for a day. The injury on his face is all my fault. I'm going back to Xincheng to apologize to you."

Ning Xi noticed the injury on He Kezhou's face, and he no longer tried to hide it.

He switched the camera back to himself and said, "It doesn't hurt, I'm fine."

Ning Xi was very angry that he didn't take his health seriously.

She didn't know why she was so angry.

Ning Xi glared at him: "He Kezhou, do you think I care about you? No way! I don't want a boyfriend with a disfigured face."

She added, "That would make me lose face."

Zhang Tailai, seeing He Kezhou's anxiety, said, "Little sister, I apologize. This is all my fault, don't be angry with your boyfriend. Let me tell you, your boyfriend helped me a lot today. I specially came back to my hometown in Z province from Xincheng to find my good-for-nothing cousin and get back the demolition compensation he swindled from my mother's house. I was prepared not to get it back. Guess what? Your boyfriend managed to intimidate those people, and we got most of the compensation back."

Ning Xi learned from Boss Zhang about He Kezhou's impressive feat of taking on ten opponents single-handedly today.

Hearing that the other party had brought controlled knives, yet He Kezhou still easily subdued them, she felt a chill of fear.

She was really afraid that something might happen to He Kezhou.

She can't afford to pay it back!

Ning Xi stared intently at He Kezhou's face. "Is there anywhere else you're injured?"

He Kezhou lowered his brows slightly, his face losing its coldness and tension. Looking at Ning Xi on the screen, his eyes unconsciously softened, and even his brows softened a little, without him realizing it.

He stood up and pressed down on Boss Zhang's body as he tried to lean in.

Zhang Tailai touched his nose and wisely decided not to disturb He Kezhou's video call with his girlfriend.

He called the waiter to add more dishes.

He Kezhou walked out of the hot pot restaurant and stood on the street to video chat with Ning Xi.

Ning Xi heard He Kezhou tell her, "I was amazing today."

She sneered, "You think you're so great? If you're so strong, how did you get injured?"

He Kezhou pressed his fingertip against the wound on his cheekbone, his tone firm yet tinged with a smile: "You're worried about me."

Ning Xi rolled her eyes at him, "You're so amazing, do you need anyone to worry about you? Go eat your hotpot."

It's almost ten o'clock, and He Kezhou still hasn't had dinner.

The evening breeze stirred up fine dust on the street. He Kezhou stood under the streetlight, his cold and hard aura dissipating considerably. He lowered his voice and said, "Take a look at your collarbone."

Ning Xi touched her collarbone with her fingertips, and the pain from He Kezhou's harsh kiss made her teeth ache.

She said irritably, "What are you looking at? It's already scabbed over and almost healed. I'll just pretend I was bitten by a vicious dog. You go inside and eat your hotpot."

He Kezhou informed her that after finishing their hotpot meal, they would head back to Xincheng.

Hearing He Kezhou say it would take more than seven hours to drive, Ning Xi frowned. "Does Boss Zhang really let you drive alone?"

He Kezhou said, "No, we'll take turns driving."

Ning Xi's tone softened slightly after that.

She reminded He Kezhou, "Don't be reckless, and don't rush back. Safety first. If you're tired, go to a service area to catch up on sleep."

Boss Zhang kept looking outside, wishing he could jump into He Kezhou's camera lens and plead with Ning Xi on his behalf.

Zhang Tailai stroked his chin as He Kezhou patiently coaxed his girlfriend.

The brutal ruthlessness He Kezhou displayed today still terrifies him when he thinks about it now.

He was grateful, but also wary.

Watching him video chat with his girlfriend, he realized that He Kezhou was a loyal and righteous person, very worthy of his acquaintance.

He Kezhou nodded to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi asked him to repeat what he had said.

He Kezhou: "Don't show off, safety first. If you're tired, go to the service area to rest."

Ning Xi hummed in agreement.

She had never liked the house to be too quiet, and He Kezhou's video calls made her feel much less lonely at night.

He Kezhou: "Is durian delicious?"

Ning Xi put her phone on her lap. "It's expensive and tastes awful. Don't buy it again."

He Kezhou looked at her lively and expressive eyes, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and his deep black eyes softened with tenderness.

Ning Xi was momentarily stunned by the smile on He Kezhou's lips.

She spoke quickly, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to go to the pharmacy and get some medicine to treat your wound."

Ning Xi abruptly hung up the video call.

Ning Xi patted her heart.

He Kezhou was more comfortable with her not laughing.

I was feeling a bit sleepy, but a video call with He Kezhou suddenly perked me up.

She opened the refrigerator and ate another piece of durian.

They say it's expensive and tastes bad, but their mouths tell a different story.
