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

She pretended to be nonchalant, yawned, plugged in her phone to charge, and placed it on the bedside table.

"He Kezhou, you've been taking a long time to take a bath."

He Kezhou turned off the lights and went to bed.

He remained silent for a few seconds, thinking about what he had just done in the bathroom.

Ning Xi smoothed out the thin blanket, covered herself with it, and lay down.

Even from a distance, she could feel the cool moisture emanating from He Kezhou's body.

He Kezhou pulled her into his arms.

Ning Xi did not struggle.

She quietly nestled close to He Kezhou.

No one spoke in the room, and it wasn't awkward.

Ning Xi closed her eyes, deliberately trying to forget the dirty images in her mind.

She heard her phone ring twice more with a message.

He Kezhou rested his chin on Ning Xi's hair crown. "Do you want your phone on silent?"

Ning Xi stretched out her arm, reached for her phone, and pressed the mute button.

Those two photos gave Ning Xi a terrible dream all night.

She dreamt of the orphanage where she grew up. The hallways were dusty, the white walls were peeling, and the air smelled of disinfectant. She sat on a swing, holding a rabbit doll, watching her friends being taken away by different families one by one.

She sat on the swing for a long time, waiting for her adoptive parents to come and take her away. For the next few years, she had no worries about food or clothing, but the huge house was always cold and lifeless, and she was never seen.

She heard the baby crying in the ward. The scene changed, and the baby turned into a five or six-year-old child who looked at her with indifference and disgust.

The boy, who had grown to be as tall as her during his childhood, shouted at his adoptive parents, "She's not my sister, I hate her."

Her adoptive parents looked at her guiltily: "Ningxi, your brother is going through a rebellious phase. Don't take what he says to heart. Can we help you with boarding school in high school?"

Ning Xi saw herself smiling and nodding.

The day before she moved to boarding school, she overheard her adoptive parents chatting in the study.

"We took Ningxi out of the orphanage and tied her life to ours, so she is our responsibility."

"Xiaoxi has been sensible and easy to take care of since she was little. She will understand us."

……

The next second, she was sitting in the after-school tutoring classroom.

A young male teacher wearing glasses pushed open the door and patiently explained the problem to her.

The young teacher's hand initially rested on her shoulder.

The moment she tried to dodge, he suddenly grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

She saw herself being pinned to the desk.

A utility knife pierced the man's chest. She broke free and fled the after-school tutoring center in a panic.

Her adoptive father, who came to pick her up, was shocked to see her covered in blood.

The young teacher ran out of the classroom, and the wound on her chest had miraculously healed.

His gaze toward her was gentle and kind.

His adoptive father chatted with him with a smile and then took Ning Xi, who was covered in blood, away.

A stranger living under the eaves, relying on others for sustenance, she dared not trouble anyone and was afraid of becoming a responsibility and burden.

This incident is a black hole in her heart.

It will appear when her will is weak.

The picture shows the adoptive mother, adoptive father and younger brother walking on a tree-lined path.

Ning Xi ran as fast as she could, and she heard herself shouting, "Dad, Mom, wait for me..."

The three people walking in front turned around and looked at Ning Xi, their eyes filled with unfamiliarity and confusion.

Why does she call them Dad and Mom?

The image disappeared, and Cheng Rou, Cheng Yue, and Wen Jingyan surrounded her, grinning menacingly.

Ning Xi wanted to grab onto something and drive them away.

She can't hold onto anything.

Just when she was about to despair, Ning Fangping appeared in front of her, holding a mop, and stood protectively in front of her.

Before she could react, Cheng Rou, holding a sharp fruit knife, had already stabbed Ning Fangping in the chest.

Large patches of blood stained Ning Fangping's dark, faded short-sleeved shirt.

"don't want……"

"aunt……"

He Kezhou opened his eyes and looked at the person sleeping soundly in his arms, who was muttering in his sleep with a furrowed brow. The person who was originally calm was now trembling against his chest.

Ning Xi was trapped in a nightmare, unconsciously clutching He Kezhou's clothes until her fingertips turned white. Soft sobs were stuck in her throat, her eyelashes trembled, and cold sweat soaked the stray hairs at her temples.

He Kezhou's long arms encircled her slender back, and his palms gently patted her back.

Ning Xi suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for breath.

She buried her face in He Kezhou's dark eyes.

"Ningxi, it's a dream, don't be afraid."

He Kezhou's voice carried a low, hoarse quality, as if he had just woken up, and a reassuring strength.

Ning Xi was no longer feeling cold all over.

He Kezhou cupped Ning Xi's cheeks and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What did you dream about?"

Ning Xi sniffed and lied, "I don't remember..."

He Kezhou stared into her eyes, as if trying to see right through her.

Ning Xi reached out and covered his eyes.

The alarm clock on the bedside table went off.

Ning Xi rolled away from He Kezhou's arms, reached for her phone, and turned off the alarm.

The phone in my hand rang.

Caller: Aunt.

Ning Xi's tense chest strangely calmed down during the phone call.

Afraid of disturbing He Kezhou, she took her phone to the living room to answer the call.

Ning Fangping asked Ning Xi on the phone, "Are you up yet?"

Ning Xi cleared her dry throat. "I'm just getting ready to get up."

Ning Fangping: "I called you for no reason. I went back to Hemeng yesterday afternoon and my phone broke, so I didn't call to let you know I arrived."

Ning Xi's voice was very soft, "I thought my aunt was angry with me and didn't want to answer my calls or reply to my messages."

After a brief silence on Ning Fangping's end, she said, "Alright, hurry up and get ready for work. Remember to eat breakfast. That's all for now."

Ning Xi didn't hang up the phone and complained to her aunt: "Auntie, I don't like Cheng Rou, and she doesn't like me either. She moved without telling me and returned the keys to the landlord herself. The male landlord opened the door in the middle of the night, and I was terrified. Also, yesterday at noon, after we had lunch, Cheng Rou's boyfriend said he would give me 100,000 yuan every month to support me."

Ning Xi felt relieved after saying it all in one breath.

He Kezhou, who had just come out of the room, happened to hear Ning Xi's words.

Ning Fangping's anger reached Ning Xi's ears through the receiver: "Why didn't you say these things to my face yesterday?"
