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

After He Kezhou finished showering, he lay down on the bed, while Ning Xi had her back to him.

There was a large empty space between the two of them.

He lay down on his side, his gaze falling on Ning Xi's curled-up back. Her thin nightgown made her waist look so slender that it was not even as wide as his hand.

Ning Xi rarely sleeps with her back to him. Every time before going to sleep, she lies flat on her back with her hands neatly placed on her stomach.

Only at night, when the air conditioning is too cold, will she subconsciously seek out a source of warmth and move closer to it.

He Kezhou noticed that Ning Xi was unhappy.

After a few seconds, he propped himself up and looked down to check Ning Xi's waist.

Ning Xi had no idea what He Kezhou behind her was thinking. When she felt his fingertips touch her waist, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The spot where He Kezhou's fingertips were touching through her clothes was exactly where she had bumped into something.

She couldn't understand how He Kezhou, a grown man, could be so meticulous.

He could tell she might have injured her back from the way she was getting out of the car and going up the stairs, when she was supporting her waist.

Ning Xi didn't open her eyes. She raised her hand to push away He Kezhou's hand that was checking her waist. Her voice was filled with drowsiness as she mumbled, "I'm so sleepy. If you don't like sleeping, don't drag me down with you."

She wrapped herself in a thin blanket and moved her body closer to the edge of the bed.

There was a large, empty space between the two of them, a deliberately drawn boundary.

He Kezhou's dark eyes darkened, and he pulled her and the blanket into his arms with his long arms.

Ning Xi abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze wide, and her tone was anything but restrained in her anger: "Aren't you going to let a person get any sleep?"

He Kezhou's dark eyes were calm. His large hand rested on her waist, preventing her from leaving his embrace. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his breath brushing against her skin, his voice low and deep: "Are you angry with me?"

Ning Xi took a deep breath and retorted, "Why would I be angry with you?"

He Kezhou's warm breath brushed against her ear, "You're angry with me."

declarative sentence.

Ning Xi's brows were furrowed, and she stopped struggling, letting him hold her.

She is tired and sleepy, and her back hurts.

Even now that I'm lying down, I can't completely relax; the roar of the racetrack engine still lingers in my ears.

"He Kezhou, have I given you face? Am I angry that you have so much energy, working tirelessly for three days and three nights straight without sleep? Or am I angry that you ignore your beautiful girlfriend at home and only think about making money?"

"I'm not as capable as you. If I don't get enough sleep, I'll die suddenly."

"Don't talk to me or bother me anymore, or we'll get up and fight or argue."

He Kezhou stared at Ning Xi's tightly closed eyes, his gaze shifting to her furrowed, impatient brows.

The way she spoke such harsh words in a muffled voice was like a cat with its fur standing on end. Instead of showing her sharp claws, she seemed to be hiding her soft, fluffy paws, gently stepping on him.

Even with her eyes closed, Ning Xi could feel He Kezhou staring at her.

She touched He Kezhou's eyes and covered them. Her tone was extremely fierce: "Close your eyes and go to sleep."

He Kezhou's eyelashes were very docile in her palm.

People also became quiet.

Ning Xi didn't know when she fell into a deep sleep; she only knew that she had just closed her eyes when the alarm clock rang.

Noisy.

Turn it off, turn off the alarm clock.

The alarm clock stopped just as the thought crossed her mind.

Ning Xi's furrowed brows relaxed.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!

"He Kezhou, who told you to turn off my alarm?"

He Kezhou opened his eyes, his gaze lazily falling on her still sleepy face: "If you don't want to go to work, then don't."

Ning Xi pushed him away and got out of bed.

She really didn't want to go to work, but she had to.

She completely ignored the way He Kezhou was looking at her.

With her mind in a daze, Ning Xi grabbed some clothes from the closet and put them on.

I only realized after I put on the suit that I hadn't taken off my nightgown.

Ning Xi rubbed her face vigorously to wake herself up.

Time didn't allow her to dawdle; she didn't even notice that He Kezhou on the bed had his eyes open the whole time while she changed her clothes.

He Kezhou took in the bruises on her waist.

The bluish-purple bruises stood out starkly against his fair skin, and He Kezhou's dark eyes instantly lost their warmth.

Ning Xi's pent-up anger and unease hadn't completely dissipated.

She came out after washing up, and He Kezhou was waiting at the door with her bag. He looked incredibly energetic, not at all like someone who was sleep-deprived.

She seemed to be the only one who was sleep-deprived.

Ning Xi gritted her teeth, deciding to ignore it.

He Kezhou escorted Ning Xi to the subway entrance, and she didn't even get a second glance from him the whole way.

Ning Xi got off the back of the electric scooter, her face stern and harsh. Without even looking at He Kezhou, she took the breakfast he handed her, saying, "I told you I wasn't going to eat it, but you insisted on buying it. I was already late, and now I'm even more late."

She carried eggs, steamed buns, and soy milk, and rushed to the subway entrance.

As she entered the subway, she secretly glanced back at He Kezhou.

He Kezhou braced his feet on the electric scooter, his gaze fixed intently on her in the sunlight.

Their eyes met at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

He Kezhou had a faint smile on his lips.

Ning Xi almost bumped into someone.

She mentally added another mark against He Kezhou.

He Kezhou let out a soft laugh as Ning Xi's figure completely disappeared from sight.

My girlfriend looks so cute as she goes out to work hard and earn money.

……

Ning Xi arrived just in time; she wasn't late.

She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyelids drooping, looking like she was sleep-deprived.

When Ning Xi changed into her practice clothes and went to class, Dai Yilan reminded her to touch up her lipstick.

Ning Xi looked at her pale face in the mirror and, heeding the advice, applied lipstick.

After finishing her morning classes, she found her phone and called her aunt.

Today is Saturday, and Ning Fangping has a bullet train ticket to Xincheng at 9 a.m.

We've arrived in the new city at this point.

She had made preparations in advance, taking her aunt to a private restaurant near the theater for lunch. After lunch, she would book a hotel room for her aunt to rest, and then visit her after get off work.

The video call was interrupted.

Ning Xi dialed the number from a different phone, but the mechanical voice on the receiver reminded her that the other party was on another call.

She hung up the phone, intending to call back in a few minutes.

Ning Xi was about to go out, so she planned to go to the changing room first to change out of her training clothes.

She bumped into Zheng Shiyin, who had just changed her clothes, and politely greeted her, "Teacher Zheng."

Zheng Shiyin didn't even look up, her fingers swiping on her phone, ignoring Ning Xi's greeting.

Ning Xi didn't care.

The moment Zheng Shiyin and Ning Xi brushed past each other, her hand suddenly slipped, and her phone fell heavily to the ground.

The screen shattered into a spiderweb pattern in an instant.

Ning Xi paused for half a second.

Zheng Shiyin glared at Ning Xi, "Don't you know how to watch where you're going?"

Ning Xi: ?

The hem of her clothes didn't even touch Zheng Shiyin.

Zheng Shiyin picked up her phone from the ground, annoyed, and rolled her eyes at her.

Ning Xi's phone rang, but she didn't look at Zheng Shiyin again.

The call was from Ning Fangping, who told Ning Xi that she had arrived near the theater and was currently at a private restaurant near the theater with Cheng Rou and her boyfriend.

Ning Xi was silent for a few seconds after hearing Cheng Rou's name.

Ning Fangping: "Use your navigation app to search for Tangyan Xiaozhu. We've already ordered the food, so hurry up and come over."
