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

When Mrs. Zhang returned, she told He Kezhou with a slight apology that she had not completed her task.

Zhang Tailai jokingly teased He Kezhou, "Brother He, tell me the truth, did you not bring your girlfriend over?"

Zhou Zhishui, munching on watermelon, casually remarked, "Desertification in the face of battle is something Ning Xi would do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open by the waiter.

Ning Xi carried the flowers and entered the private room.

She overheard Boss Zhang and Zhou Zhishui's conversation right at the door.

Ning Xi, who was behind Zhou Zhishui, felt embarrassed after being slapped in the face. She touched her nose awkwardly and buried her head in eating watermelon.

He was so engrossed in eating that he accidentally made sounds like Peppa Pig nudging his food.

Meng Yizhen frowned almost imperceptibly and kicked Zhou Zhishui under the table.

Zhou Zhishui looked up, feeling wronged.

His brother Zhen dislikes him!

Ning Xi noticed that everyone in the private room was looking at her, and she paused slightly.

She greeted Mr. and Mrs. Zhang in a very open and friendly manner.

As she passed by He Kezhou, her left hand, which was hanging down, was hooked by him.

Ning Xi turned around and gave him a light glare.

He Kezhou scratched her palm with his fingertips before letting go.

Zhang Tailai and his wife stood up enthusiastically.

Noticing the natural and intimate little gestures between the two, Feng Wan and her husband smiled at each other.

Ning Xi handed the bouquet to Mrs. Zhang with both hands, "Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, I'm sorry I'm late. The colors of this bouquet match your outfit perfectly today, it's for you."

Feng Wan accepted the bouquet, her eyes instantly lighting up with surprise. Her fingertips gently touched the petals of the misty blue lilies in the bouquet: "What a beautiful bouquet, the colors are so elegantly matched."

Zhou Zhishui put down the watermelon rind in her hand and realized that her prejudice against Ning Xi was indeed very strong.

The three of them, all grown men, were not as polite and well-mannered as Ning Xi, a young girl.

Everyone thought today would just be a simple meal, and no one had prepared a gift. But Ning Xi came in with flowers and quietly made up for the lack of gifts for them.

Zhang Tailai slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "Why are you calling me Boss Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, or Little Sister Ning? Just call me Brother Zhang. My wife's surname is Feng, so you can call her Sister Feng."

In short, it brings people closer together.

Feng Wan carefully placed the bouquet and took Ning Xi's hand.

Ning Xi readily changed her address, looking at Boss Zhang and Feng Wan: "Brother Zhang, Sister Feng."

Her voice was clear yet unassuming, polite yet with just the right amount of tact.

Feng Wan looked at the little girl and felt a fondness for her. In his words, he showed a natural closeness to Ning Xi.

Faint voices could be heard coming from outside the private room, and Zhang Tailai got up to go out and greet them.

Feng Wan warmly invited Ning Xi to sit down, turned the table, and offered Ning Xi drinks and water.

Ning Xi took a bottle of juice, smiled, and sat down next to He Kezhou, lightly touching the back of her hand to his neck.

Fortunately, there was a flower shop nearby, so it didn't take too long.

The air conditioning in the private room drove away the heat from outside.

He Kezhou took out a tissue and wiped the thin layer of sweat from Ning Xi's forehead.

Ning Xi turned her head towards He Kezhou.

She pretended not to notice Zhou Zhishui's staring gaze at the two of them.

Zhang Tailai led his men into the private room and laughed as he called out to He Kezhou, "You're such a lucky guy."

Feng Wan laughed along: "The way Xiao He dotes on his girlfriend reminds me of when Lao Dong was pursuing You Jun."

Following behind Zhang Tailai was a family of three.

Gui Youjun came in from outside. "What were you talking about, me and Lao Dong?"

The little girl, about six or seven years old, was being led by her mother. She had a round face, a plump and sturdy figure, and her eyes were charming and lively. She was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and capri pants, exuding a healthy and energetic vigor.

She ran up to Feng Wan and said, "Godmother, I've missed you so much!"

Feng Wan held the little girl and talked to Dong Xiangzhang and Gui Youjun.

When Dong Xiangzhang saw that there were strangers in the private room, and then heard Zhang Tailai introduce himself and the other young people present, he instantly understood what kind of scheme this was.

So, he's being used to repay a favor.

They were both shrewd old foxes in the business world. If it were anyone else, Dong Xiangzhang would definitely have lost face. Only Zhang Tailai dared to scheme against him like this.

The moment Dong Xiangzhang entered the private room, Zhou Zhishui immediately stuffed his phone into his pocket, abandoning his laziness and casualness.

He recognized the person.

Meng Yizhen and He Kezhou's relaxation made Zhou Zhishui feel at ease again.

They weren't there to make connections.

If you're going to have a simple meal, then make the most of it.

Utilitarianism and shortcuts simply do not exist in He Kezhou and Meng Yizhen.

Dong Xiangzhang handed the heavy glass jar of medicinal wine he had brought over to Zhang Tailai. "This is the last jar of medicinal wine left by the old man. I've given you half. This year, after we finish this, neither of us will have any left."

Zhang Tailai touched the glass jar, a look of sadness in his eyes.

He opened the medicinal wine and said to He Kezhou, "Brother He, does your girlfriend allow you to drink? This medicinal wine is very good for your health."

He Kezhou looked at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi felt all those gazes on her and pinched He Kezhou under the table.

She didn't restrict He Kezhou from drinking alcohol.

Ning Xi didn't let Boss Zhang's words fall to the ground.

He Kezhou hooked Ning Xi's finger around his hand and held it firmly in his palm.

Ning Xi pinched him hard under the table.

He Kezhou's expression didn't change at all; he wasn't afraid of pain at all.

From Zhang Tailai's act of opening the jar of medicinal wine, Dong Xiangzhang realized that these young men held considerable influence with Zhang Tailai.

Zhang Tailai called over a waiter to bring utensils and serve wine to everyone.

Warm light fell on the gilded plum blossom screen, and the large round table was filled with exquisite dishes, with a small copper hot pot in front of them emitting wisps of smoke.

Zhang Tailai invited those who were drinking to sit on one side, and their family members who were not drinking to sit on the other side.

Gui Youjun noticed that her daughter wanted to sit next to Ning Xi, so she didn't stop her.

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh as the little girl stared at her with her big, bright eyes.

The little girl said in a clear voice, "Sister, you're as pretty as a doll, and I love the color of your hair."

Ning Xi lowered her head and let her touch her hair.

After touching it, the little girl shyly ran back to her mother's side.

Gui Youjun smiled and said to her daughter, "You want to sit with the pretty lady? Then ask her if she wants to sit with you."

The little girl ran up to Ning Xi and shyly asked if she could sit with her.

Ning Xi reached out and gently pinched her cheek. "Okay."

This closeness made the little girl happy.

She pulled up Ning Xi's godmother and asked her to switch seats with her.

Feng Wan gave up her seat to her.

Ning Xi noticed that the little girl really liked her hair color; she kept looking at her hair while eating.

"Sister, my name is Dong Guiyi Lan. What's your name?"

Ning Xi told her her name.

Gui Youjun noticed that his daughter was very talkative and kept chatting with Ning Xi. He wanted to remind his daughter, but Feng Wan stopped him.

"Don't keep her so restrained."

Gui Youjun glanced at his daughter with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

Ning Xi smiled gently and patiently.

She and the young girl were whispering to each other, unaware of the glances that kept falling on her from inside the private room.

The warm atmosphere among the family members and the scene of the men drinking were completely different.

Ning Xi would occasionally glance at He Kezhou, and every time she looked at him, her gaze met his.

He Kezhou wasn't a talkative person, but tonight, Boss Zhang kept trying to get him involved in the conversation.

Ning Xi discovered that He Kezhou was actually quite good at chatting.

They talked about local legends and geography, casually mentioning the local customs and products, their words unassuming yet revealing a wealth of knowledge.

His and Meng Yizhen's composure, insight, and knowledge drew undisguised admiration from Zhang Tailai and Dong Xiangzhang.

Ning Xi's lips curved into a faint smile.

This was the first time she had ever seen He Kezhou like this. It also made her realize how vast the gap was between them in terms of class, perspective, and status.

Even as the meal progressed, the drinking continued.

The family members had already put down their chopsticks.

The waiter brought them some tea.

Ning Xi was playing riddles with the little girl.

Dong Guiyilan rested her chin on her hand and asked Ning Xi, "What does a white radish turn into when it gets drunk?"

Ning Xi thought about it seriously for two seconds, then said, "Carrots."

Dong Guiyi tilted her head. "Sister, you're the only one who can guess the answers to all my brain teasers."

Ning Xi pinched her cheek. "Am I amazing?"

"Absolutely amazing!"

Ning Xi was so charmed by her cuteness that she burst out laughing.
