When Ning Xi woke up in the morning, she found herself clinging to He Kezhou like an octopus once again.

He Kezhou opened his eyes the moment Ning Xi took her legs off his.

Ning Xi cleared her throat, a little embarrassed, and said, "Good morning."

She hadn't gotten used to it yet; when she opened her eyes in the morning, He Kezhou hadn't gone to work yet.

After moving here, He Kezhou can walk to the car dealership in just a few minutes from outside the residential area.

In the morning, I don't have to get up so early.

He Kezhou pressed his face against the crook of her neck. "Good morning. What do you want for breakfast? I'll get up and go buy it."

Her deep, magnetic voice sounded like 3D music surrounding her ears.

Ning Xi rolled to the side, creating some distance between them.

He Kezhou's voice was so soothing that it made her bones go numb.

People who get a good night's sleep have fewer dark circles under their eyes, and their hoarse voices from colds have also improved.

Ning Xi sat up, clutching a thin blanket. "I'll get up too, and we'll go downstairs to eat together."

He Kezhou hummed in agreement.

Ning Xi scratched her hair and rubbed her face vigorously to wake herself up.

During this period, she went to bed early and woke up early, and has already adjusted her biological clock.

He Kezhou casually draped a short-sleeved shirt and jeans he had found in the closet onto the bed.

Ning Xi looked up and saw that he had already taken off his shirt and was about to take off his pants.

She quickly said, "He Kezhou, go to the restroom to change."

He Kezhou gripped his waistband and looked at her, puzzled.

Ning Xi also realized that she had overreacted.

In his memory, the original owner had seen He Kezhou's naked body countless times.

Ning Xi pursed her lips and said, "You have such a great figure, it makes me feel inferior."

Upon hearing this, He Kezhou paused in his actions.

Ning Xi wanted to punch herself. Men and women have different body structures, so what she said was really nonsensical.

She tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I really envy your body type that allows you to eat whatever you want without gaining weight."

He Kezhou looked at Ning Xi, who seemed a little embarrassed and awkward. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, along with a subtle inquiry.

Ning Xi has always enjoyed seeing him without any clothes on.

Most of the time, they will also touch it with their hands.

During this period, Ning Xi seemed to have become a completely different person, inside and out.

Her sense of propriety and boundaries made He Kezhou feel unfamiliar.

She even seemed to have lost interest in his body.

He Kezhou's expression darkened.

Ning Xi pinched her earlobe, turned her back to He Kezhou somewhat awkwardly, and slowly searched for clothes for herself in the wardrobe.

She heard He Kezhou tell her, "You have a great figure."

Ning Xi felt a heat at the tip of her ear.

He Kezhou: "Don't starve yourself just to lose weight."

His gaze fell on Ning Xi's thin back, and after a few seconds, it moved to her slightly reddened earlobe.

Ning Xi nodded.

He Kezhou quickly changed his clothes and left the room.

Ning Xi turned around, clutching the clothes, and exhaled.

She had actually considered that He Kezhou might doubt whether she was still the same Ning Xi as before.

But what can you do if you have doubts?

The body belongs to the original owner, and she still carries the original owner's memories.

Let them have their doubts.

Ning Xi decided to give up entirely.

In the morning, she and He Kezhou had breakfast at a breakfast shop outside the residential area. He Kezhou went to the car dealership, and Ning Xi went home.

Before He Kezhou went to the car dealership, he told Ning Xi, "If this job still makes you feel miserable, don't force yourself."

"Whether you work or not is fine; physical and mental health are more important than work."

He Kezhou's tone and gaze were so serious that Ning Xi's fingertips curled slightly, and her heart warmed.

She told He Kezhou, "I will cherish this job. I've been out of touch with society for too long. I feel like I'm trapped in a small circle. My thinking is getting narrower and narrower. Sometimes I can't even control myself from getting stuck on things. My behavior has become paranoid and terrible. Only by actually doing things and keeping myself busy can I alleviate my anxiety a little."

When she looked up, her eyes were firm and earnest, filled with sincere understanding as she gazed at He Kezhou: "You've raised me for so long, it must have been really tough. I want to try to share some of the burden, I don't want to keep clinging to you like a parasitic plant."

At this point, Ning Xi's voice lowered, filled with unspeakable unease, "If I continue to depend on you like this and be supported by you, what if one day... you get tired and don't want to support me anymore? Then I will really become a useless person who has nothing and can't do anything."

Ning Xi's words were like a fine needle, piercing He Kezhou's heart unexpectedly.

His eyes suddenly darkened, his black pupils churning with complex and unfathomable emotions, and his once relaxed brows furrowed deeply, twisting into wrinkles.

Ning Xi felt that she couldn't live the life she wanted with him, so she was in a hurry to go out to work and find a way out for herself.

Once the thought popped into his head, it grew wildly like a vine, wrapping around his heart and making it hard for him to breathe.

Ning Xi is making plans for the future.

Every word she says now is about being afraid of losing the material things he provides, not about being afraid of losing him as a person.

Ning Xi's words made him realize that he might not be part of her future.

He Kezhou remained silent for a moment, and his aura instantly turned colder.

After saying what she had been holding in for so long, Ning Xi seemed a little relieved.

He Kezhou leaned down, his gaze meeting hers, his eyes fixed on her intently: "Ning Xi, you can always rely on me. I'll earn more money for you to spend."

Ning Xi cupped He Kezhou's face in her hands and said softly, "I'm so lucky to have a boyfriend to back me up."

Her eyes lifted slightly, curving into sweet crescents as she gazed at He Kezhou with tender eyes: "He Kezhou, why are you so good to me?"

He Kezhou's gaze fell on her clear and clean smile, and his tense jawline relaxed a little.

Ning Xi: "Are you trying to say that I'm your girlfriend?"

Ning Xi accurately predicted He Kezhou's words.

Ning Xi released her grip on his cheeks, her eyes gentle. "He Kezhou, I've prepared lunch at home and will call you back for dinner. You should go to work now. It's too hot outside, I'm going home."

He Kezhou stared at her turning back, standing still.

He didn't walk towards the car until Ning Xi's figure turned into the intersection and completely disappeared from sight.

Zhou Zhishui, carrying two bowls of beef noodles, had already spotted He Kezhou and Ning Xi when she came out of the noodle shop.

He didn't quite hear what the two were saying, but he caught a bit of it.

Zhou Zhishui strode to catch up with He Kezhou and went back to the car dealership with him: "Your girlfriend has really changed a lot lately."

He Kezhou remained silent, his expression indifferent.

He took out his phone and asked Zhou Zhishui, "Does that racing club you mentioned in our last chat still need track mechanics?"

Zhou Zhishui asked He Kezhou to bring him a bowl of noodles, then took out his phone to call the racing club.

After hanging up the phone, he said to He Kezhou, "This club has a lot of people who are reckless with their cars, you..."

He Kezhou's expression remained unchanged. "Send me your contact information."

Zhou Zhishui swallowed the words that were about to come out.
