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

Ning Xi let out a breath, feeling completely relaxed.

She stood in front of the electric fan, wrapped her arms around it from a distance, closed her eyes, and tilted her head back slightly.

Wow, it's so cool and comfortable.

He Kezhou flattened the empty cardboard boxes from the moving company with his hand and told Ning Xi that he was going to the car dealership.

Ning Xi was also planning to go out. She was going to the bank to withdraw the 120,000 yuan and have He Kezhou return it to Meng Yizhen. She also wanted to go to the nearby supermarket to pick up two large bottles of mineral water.

She asked He Kezhou, "Is the nearest China Merchants Bank branch a long walk from here?"

If it's far, she'll ride He Kezhou's electric bike there.

He Kezhou's electric scooter and bread truck were also brought over in one trip.

He Kezhou took out his phone to navigate and told Ning Xi, "2.6 kilometers," adding, "I'll drive you there."

Ning Xi agreed.

Just then, he was heading back to the car dealership, so she took the money and He Kezhou went straight there.

Ning Xi, lingering in the cool breeze of the electric fan, said, "Let's go quickly then," but her feet were firmly planted on the ground, unwilling to move an inch.

He Kezhou didn't urge her. He leaned against the wall, his gaze falling lightly on her face, and his cold and hard aura unconsciously relaxed a bit.

Ning Xi's hair fluttered in the wind, her brows relaxed, and a satisfied and content smile played at the corners of her eyes. Her cheeks, being so close to the fan, were slightly puffed up by the strong breeze, making her look like a little squirrel sneaking off to cool off.

Ning Xiyi reluctantly turned off the fan.

He Kezhou: "Let's play a little longer, no rush to go out."

Ning Xi shook her head. "Let's get down to business."

The midday sun was scorching, and He Kezhou noticed that Ning Xi had forgotten to take sun protection measures, so he reminded her to wear a sun hat.

Ning Xi gripped the doorknob and slapped her head.

She would have almost forgotten if He Kezhou hadn't reminded her.

She found her sun hat and sun mask that she had casually left in the cabinet in the entryway, and then handed the parasol to He Kezhou.

He Kezhou wanted to say that his skin was rough and he didn't need sunscreen.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out after being glanced at by Ning Xiruan.

Ning Xi: "If you hold the umbrella, we can both be shaded."

Double sun protection.

Despite being exposed to wind and sun, He Kezhou's skin doesn't appear dark; it's a healthy, natural shade. His skin is truly excellent—poreless, firm, and elastic.

Ning Xi touched her face.

She really wanted He Kezhou's skin.

She'll get sunspots if she doesn't use sunscreen.

As soon as you step outside, it's as hot as a sauna.

It can steam a person.

Ning Xi didn't want to stay outside for long at all.

He Kezhou was very familiar with the area, which made it much easier for Ning Xi to get things done.

She withdrew the money from the bank counter and put it into her canvas bag.

He Kezhou took the canvas bag she handed him and drove her back to her apartment complex.

On the way, Ning Xi looked at takeout orders on her phone.

Knowing that He Kezhou was familiar with the area, she asked him, "Are there any good restaurants around here?"

He Kezhou: "I'll buy some food in a bit. If you're hungry, we can go eat first."

Ning Xi squinted comfortably in the air conditioning in the bread cart, "I'm not too hungry right now, let's eat together when you buy it."

He Kezhou said "okay" and took her to the building in the residential area.

Ning Xi got out of the car, but she didn't close the door properly because she didn't use enough force. The second time, she used a bit too much force, and the car door slammed shut with a loud "bang," making the air tremble slightly.

An old man passing by, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, assumed Ning Xi was venting her anger on her boyfriend in the car. He said to Ning Xi earnestly, "Girl, don't complain about your boyfriend driving a beat-up van. Life won't always be this hard. Your boyfriend seems like someone who will amount to something."

Ning Xi touched her nose and told the old man that she didn't have any.

He Kezhou noticed Ning Xi's somewhat embarrassed look and said to the old man, "I borrowed this bread cart."

The old man tapped on He Kezhou's car window with his palm-leaf fan. "You all went to rent a car? Why didn't you rent a nicer one to take your girlfriend?"

He Kezhou made no attempt to hide his poverty: "The van truck is free, but I can't afford to rent other vehicles."

The old man kept shaking his head, pointing at Ning Xi: "Such a beautiful girlfriend, and she's willing to suffer with you, you should treat her well."

Ning Xi quickly told the old man, "Grandpa, my boyfriend treats me very well. All the money he earns from work goes to me. He buys me whatever I want, whatever I want to eat. It's not hard being with him."

Under the sunlight, Ning Xi's eyes were warmed by the sun, and her whole being was radiant with sunshine.

She explained earnestly, her tone full of protectiveness.

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Young man, you have a lot of responsibility and you don't embarrass us men."

Ning Xi smiled and changed the subject, "We're borrowing the van to move, sir. Which building do you live in?"

He Kezhou's gaze gently fell on Ning Xi's face, and his fingers on the steering wheel curled up almost imperceptibly.

This was the first time Ning Xi had spoken to an outsider without showing any disdain or blaming him for not doing well and for embarrassing her.

The sunlight was so bright he could hardly open his eyes, but he didn't look away from Ning Xi's face for even a second.

He Kezhou's gaze was incredibly noticeable.

She winked and waved at He Kezhou, telling him to hurry up and take care of his business.

The old man invited Ning Xi upstairs, saying that he also lived in this building.

Ning Xi was infected by the old man's cheerful mood and followed him into the building unit with a smile.

The old man lives on the fourth floor, and he climbs all four floors without even breaking a sweat.

Ning Xi smiled and said goodbye to the old man.

The old man called her over and brought her a net bag of loquats from his house: "We'll be neighbors from now on, these loquats are for you to enjoy."

Ning Xi: "I'm so sorry."

As he said that, he had already taken the net from his hand.

As soon as Ning Xi got home, she washed a plate of loquats for herself.

Peeling back the soft skin of the loquat, the first bite was so sour that she grimaced.

These loquats must have been picked from a tree in the neighborhood by the old man.

It looks incredibly tempting with its golden color, and once you start eating it, it's absolutely irresistible.

Ning Xi wasn't the only one who was bothered by the sourness of loquat.

Xiao Meng's Car Dealership.

Zhou Zhishui, holding a loquat with one bite in it, grimaced and said, "Who sent this loquat? Can you even eat this? It's so sour it's making my teeth ache."

Meng Yizhen glanced at him. "It was a gift from a kind old man."

Zhou Zhishui looked pale and said, "That old man is really wicked."

He asked Meng Yizhen, "Are you still eating boxed lunches at noon? Should I order some?"

Meng Yizhen asked him to bring back a bottle of mineral water.

As Zhou Zhishui left the car dealership, he ran into He Kezhou, who was returning the car.

He craned his neck to look into the car.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Ning Xi.

He Kezhou's new home is located near the car dealership. He's actually quite worried, fearing that Ning Xi will come and cause trouble.

He was truly terrified by what Ning Xi had done at the car dealership before.

He Kezhou moved out with Ning Xi, and his brother Zhen was able to go back to his own home and no longer have to feel wronged and confined in the car dealership's warehouse, which made him feel somewhat happy.

He found it quite unbelievable that He Kezhou could persuade Ning Xi to move out of Meng Yizhen's house.

On second thought, Ning Xi might know that she had done something wrong by stealing money and felt ashamed.

No, Ning Xi doesn't have the word "embarrassed" in her dictionary.

He Kezhou got out of the car, handed the car keys to Zhou Zhishui, and said, "Thanks."

Zhou Zhishui leaned against the bread cart, staring at He Kezhou's injured face.

How can someone be injured and still look even more handsome because of their wounds!

He's so damn manly.

Boss Zhang called Meng Yizhen and talked at length for more than half an hour about He Kezhou's great achievements.

Zhou Zhishui was displeased with He Kezhou's politeness: "We're all on the same side, why are you saying these things? It's hurting our feelings! You're offering me a cup of coffee, but I'm not going to drink 9.9 yuan Luckin Coffee."

After moving to the new city, his standard of living declined.

He Kezhou told him to order it himself and deduct it from his salary.

Zhou Zhishui was delighted and ordered himself a drink featuring the green-haired lady.

He Kezhou entered the car dealership carrying a canvas bag, took out a bank card from his pocket, and placed it on the table in front of Meng Yizhen.

"170 million in the bank account, 12 in cash, and 18 that was stolen from the car last time, totaling 200 million, are all here."

Meng Yizhen looked at the pile of money and bank cards, feeling quite agitated.

He told He Kezhou, "If you need money, just tell me, and I'll give you a raise."

Given He Kezhou's work ability, his request for a raise is not unreasonable.

He Kezhou: "I work a normal job, and you get paid normally. I accepted your older brother's card, which was something I did unfairly and poorly."

He didn't bring up the fact that Meng Yizhen had rented him a house cheaply and had allowed him to work at the car dealership.

He promised Meng Yizhen, "I'll work for you at your car dealership for three years."

He Kezhou's words carried weight, causing Meng Yizhen to curb her laziness.

He had always known that He Kezhou wouldn't work at the car dealership for long. Some time ago, he sensed that He Kezhou not only wanted to move Ning Xi out of his house, but also wanted to leave the dealership altogether and find another job.

He Kezhou dislikes owing favors or anything to others.

How could Meng Yizhen not understand? He Kezhou was repaying a favor to someone else.

He grinned slyly, "I'll give you these two million, and you name your price, I'll buy you for another year."

He Kezhou didn't even glance at the pile of money, his face expressionless: "You can't afford me."

When Zhou Zhishui returned from buying food, his mouth was agape, and his expression was exaggerated: "You two grown men, actually engaged in that kind of transaction?!"

"I want to join too!"

He Kezhou, whose ears had been shoved by Zhou Zhishui, told Meng Yizhen, "Let's withdraw."

After He Kezhou left, Meng Yizhen told Zhou Zhishui, "I'll fly to Beijing tonight and be back by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Zhou Zhishui, chopsticks in her mouth, said, "I'll join too."

Meng Yizhen looked at him with a half-smile, "If I go back and get into a fight, are you going to break it up or help me?"

The sailor, Zhou Zhi, groped around and exclaimed, "Why are my ears deaf and my eyes blind?"

……

After buying food, He Kezhou returned home with bottled water. Ning Xi was slumped in an old rocking chair in her rented room, watching videos intently while the fan was blowing on her.

The message Cheng Rou sent interrupted her from watching the borderline video.

She scrolled past the message, looked up and met He Kezhou's gaze, and subconsciously quickly turned her phone upside down and placed it on her stomach.

He Kezhou's gaze fell indifferently on her phone.

Ning Xi got up, pretending not to see, and started preparing dinner.

I expended a lot of energy this morning, and it's lunchtime now.

As soon as I smelled the aroma of food, my stomach started to rebel.

Ning Xi opened the lunchbox, and the aroma of food wafted out.

She and He Kezhou focused on cooking.

She had a great appetite and ate a whole box of rice.

She had turned on the air conditioning in the room beforehand, and told He Kezhou to go take a nap after he finished eating. She casually mentioned to him that she had made an appointment to have coffee with someone that afternoon.

He Kezhou cleaned the dining table and hummed in agreement.

His gaze swept over the phone in her hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked away in an instant without saying another word.
