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

Zhou Zhishui spotted Ning Xi at the subway exit immediately. He waved and called out to her loudly.

He had been waiting for Ning Xi at the subway station entrance for almost ten minutes.

Ning Xi was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Zhishui riding He Kezhou's electric scooter to the subway entrance.

Zhou Zhishui handed Ning Xi the yogurt, fruit bowl, and small cake that He Kezhou had bought for her from the handcart basket: "Brother Zhou asked me to come and pick you up. He has some tough work tonight."

Ning Xi sat on the back of the electric scooter. "You're bullying me! Why is it only my boyfriend who has to go out to work at night?"

Afraid of saying something wrong and giving himself away, Zhou Zhishui took out the key to Ning Xi's newly changed lock from his pocket and gave it to her: "Who said only Brother Zhou is working? The boss is working too."

He didn't lie.

He Kezhou went out to make quick money after get off work, while Meng Yizhen was still working tirelessly overtime at the car dealership at this hour.

They're all working, aren't they?

Zhou Zhishui didn't want Ning Xi to think that he was the only one slacking off, so he emphasized to her, "After I take you back, I still need to go back to the car dealership."

Ning Xi sat on the back of the electric scooter and said "Oh".

After that sound, Zhou Zhishui noticed that Ning Xi was sitting quietly on the back of the electric scooter.

If it weren't for the faint, sweet scent carried by the evening breeze, he would have thought Ning Xi had been tossed around by him.

Zhou Zhishui turned her head to look at Ning Xi in the back seat.

Ning Xi looked up. "What are you trying to say?"

Zhou Zhishui kept her mouth tightly shut.

He has nothing to say to Ning Xi, that woman!

If He Kezhou hadn't spoken up for him, he would never have shown up in front of Ning Xi on his own initiative.

He Kezhou was worried that it wouldn't be safe for Ning Xi to come home late from get off work in her new environment, so he asked him to come pick her up and take her home.

Ning Xi was escorted to the entrance of her building by Zhou Zhishui, and thanked him.

Zhou Zhishui was very unaccustomed to Ning Xi's current politeness.

In the past, Ning Xi was always arrogant and pretentious in her speech and behavior. She was bossy to everyone indiscriminately and acted arrogantly and domineeringly because of her good looks.

He ran a hand through his hair. "Are you still the Ning Xi I know?"

Ning Xi glanced sideways, saying, "The real deal."

My mind was screaming, "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!"

Zhou Zhishui felt that Ning Xi was at least less annoying and hateful now, but prejudice remained: "Don't thank me, I only came to pick you up because of Brother Zhou. You should be nicer to Brother Zhou in the future, and don't always bully him."

Ning Xi looked at Zhou Zhishui very seriously, "I will be good to him."

Before leaving, Zhou Zhishui looked at her with nine parts distrust in his eyes.

Ning Xi is a woman whose appearance is highly deceptive, and it's impossible to tell the truth from her words.

Ning Xi dragged her somewhat heavy steps as she climbed the stairs.

Is she really that untrustworthy?!

I turned the key to open the door, and the house was quiet and empty.

Ning Xi turned on the light and saw the note left by He Kezhou on the table.

The WiFi password is written on it.

He Kezhou's calligraphy is sharp and angular, just like him—cold, hard, and neat, yet possessing a unique and pleasing style.

Ning Xi connected to WiFi, opened the novel on her phone, and turned the volume up to the maximum.

She thought He Kezhou was just going to work at the racing club that night, but she didn't expect that he would leave early and not come back late for three whole nights from Wednesday to Friday.

Ning Xi could only see others when He Kezhou returned for lunch every day at noon.

On Friday night, Ning Xi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He Kezhou came back for lunch today, and the dark circles under his eyes were much heavier than they had been a couple of days ago. Although he didn't look tired on the surface, she could tell that he was very tired.

Ning Xi got out of bed and called He Kezhou.

Her actions weren't a check-up; she just wanted to know if He Kezhou had been working all night at the racing club for three consecutive nights.

Thinking about how he didn't rest at night and worked intensely at the car dealership during the day, Ning Xi felt a surge of anger rising in her chest.

This person doesn't care about their own body at all.

What if something happens...

Ning Xi dared not think about it.

No one answered the phone, and the anxiety in her eyes grew more and more obvious.

Ning Xi realized that He Kezhou must have been taking on side jobs to make quick money these past three nights.

Thinking of how Zhou Zhishui had escorted her to her apartment building entrance that evening, and how he hesitated to speak before she went upstairs.

Ning Xi sent a message directly to Zhou Zhishui.

Zhou Zhishui's contact information was something she proactively added last night.

For the past three evenings, Zhou Zhishui has been waiting for her at the subway entrance on He Kezhou's electric scooter, and then taking her back to her apartment complex.

Even though she said she didn't need it, Zhou Zhishui remained unmoved.

Ning Xi tapped the screen with her fingertips: Do you know where He Kezhou is? I can't contact him.

Her finger, which was about to send, paused.

Ning Xi deleted the sentence and retyped it.

Xixi Naifu: [Zhou Zhishui. I'm asking you, He Kezhou, is he having an affair?]

Xixi Naifu: [Don't hide it from me, a woman's intuition is always very accurate.]

At 1:30 a.m., Zhou Zhishui replied instantly: 【Do you even have a conscience?】

[My brother Zhou is such a responsible man! Your words are an insult to him!]

XiXi NaiFu: [Then tell me, where is he?]

XiXi NaiFu: [If you don't tell me, it means he really is seeing someone else. He cheated on me first, it wasn't me who couldn't stand being alone.]

Zhou Zhishui was furious and immediately made a voice call to Ning Xi.

Zhou Zhishui gritted her teeth, her voice forced out: "Ning Xi, you'd better try doing something to betray He Kezhou."

Ning Xi: "Let's give it a try."

After saying that, she simply hung up the phone. She wouldn't answer any of Zhou Zhishui's attempts to call her.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Zhishui, with a dark expression, knocked on the door of Ning Xi's rented room.

Ning Xi looked through the peephole and saw that it was Zhou Zhishui. She then opened the door.

Zhou Zhishui was wearing a hotel bathrobe; she hadn't even had time to change her clothes.

Upon closer inspection, Ning Xi was seen wearing a light blue sleeveless knee-length dress. The flowing fabric accentuated her slender and graceful figure, revealing her smooth and elegant shoulders and neck. Her long hair was neatly styled with a shark clip, with a few loose strands. Her meticulously groomed appearance clearly indicated that she had dressed up specifically for an appointment.

Zhou Zhishui was furious.

It was already past 2 a.m., and Ning Xi, instead of staying home and sleeping peacefully, actually turned around and accused He Kezhou of doing something to betray her.

Ning Xi is simply obsessed with men and is making excuses for herself to go out and fool around.

Zhou Zhishui's chest heaved violently.

He really felt sorry for He Kezhou.

At this hour, He Kezhou was still working hard at the club to earn money so that Ning Xi could live a better life, satisfy her vanity, and buy her the big-name luxury goods she wanted.

Ning Xi noticed the anger surging in Zhou Zhishui's eyes, and her heart tightened slightly, but she deliberately kept a straight face, looking as if she had been disturbed.

"What's up?"

Zhou Zhishui clenched her fists. "Where are you planning to go?"

Ning Xi slightly raised her chin, her tone nonchalant, "It's so late, where could I go?"

Zhou Zhishui clearly did not believe it.

Ning Xi's eyes revealed a hint of deliberate guilt.

Seeing that she had been discovered but still looked clueless, Zhou Zhishui couldn't suppress her anger any longer.

He gripped Ning Xi's wrist tightly and dragged her towards the door: "You suspect He Kezhou is doing something to betray you, right? Then I'll take you to see what your boyfriend is really doing!"

Zhou Zhishui gripped her so tightly that her bones ached. She was forcibly dragged outside, and her lower back slammed hard against the doorknob, sending a dull pain through her.

Ning Xi gasped in pain.

Zhou Zhishui didn't turn around to look at her; her eyes were filled only with the urgency to let her see the truth.
