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

The road, scorched by the summer heat, saw occasional vehicles passing by.

The black van was parked under the shade of trees on an old street corner, attracting no attention from passersby.

The woman sitting in the back seat casually rested her chin on her hand, her bright and beautiful face devoid of any superfluous expression.

She casually gazed at the dilapidated car dealership through the scorching midday sun, a hint of interest in her eyes.

"Luan Shuo, he's been hiding his death in this godforsaken place for over three months. What do you think he was thinking?"

The entire He family sealed off that island for three whole months in order to find He Kezhou's body, which had perished at sea.

To date, nothing has been gained.

The He family believed that He Kezhou's remains were nowhere to be found.

In order to stabilize the situation, the authorities announced that He Kezhou, who was injured in a yacht fire and fall into the sea, had become a vegetable.

The person was found immediately and is lying in the intensive care unit.

In reality, the body lying in the intensive care unit was a bodyguard whose face was burned beyond recognition.

The man in the driver's seat withdrew his gaze from the car dealership, turned to look at He Zhixian, and said respectfully, "Miss Xian, you have already checked on the young master and confirmed that he is safe. We can leave now."

He Zhixian opened the file folder in his hand and gave him a half-smile.

"I told you, I just came to check that he's not dead. What are you panicking about?"

"Since he enjoys this ordinary life so much, let him live it."

"Spread the word that the head of the He family has woken up in the intensive care unit and has been transferred to a sanatorium in Switzerland for recuperation."

When He Zhixian heard Luan Shuo's respectful reply, he scoffed, "Why put on such a respectful face towards me? You traitor."

Her sarcastic remark was tinged with anger.

Luan Shuo's expression remained unchanged: "My life belongs to the young master."

He Zhixian narrowed his eyes, his possessiveness undisguised: "Luan Shuo, he gave you to me, so you are mine, and your life is mine too."

"Don't let me hear that again."

She leaned closer to Luan Shuo. "You upset me," she said, pointing to her cheek. "Give me a kiss."

Luan Shuo's hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly, and he silently looked at He Zhixian.

He Zhixian looked away from his calm and unwavering gaze, clicked his tongue, and lazily leaned back in his soft seat.

The car fell silent.

He Zhixian opened the thick stack of information about Ning Xi in his hand.

The document records how her mother abandoned her husband and daughter when she was young, in pursuit of a better life. Before she was even a year old, her father tragically died in a construction accident. After living with her patriarchal grandparents for a period, she was then raised by her aunt. Over the course of twenty-one years, her educational journey, social life, and network of connections—all verifiable experiences—are clearly listed.

The only sound inside the car was the turning of pages.

He Zhixian tossed the document bag aside. "It's hard to believe he would fall for such a brainless, vain, and promiscuous woman."

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating her face and outlining its smooth, beautiful contours, while her eyes remained clear and playful.

Luan Shuo did not respond.

He Zhixian, feeling listless, tapped his fingertips lightly on his leg: "Leave no trace of those tails that followed us. Deal with them cleanly."

Luan Shuo: "Miss Wan Shuang is also on the list."

He Zhixian raised his eyelids, his eyes flashing with cold indifference and mockery: "We'll leave the person he protected for now. After all, she's his nominal fiancée. He can deal with her himself when he returns to the He family. Have someone keep a close eye on her and that lover."

Wan Shuang and that man set fire to the yacht, thinking they had gotten away with it perfectly.

In fact, with just a few clicks, a simple search would lead back to her.

What an idiot.

He Zhixian's gaze suddenly fixed on He Kezhou and Ning Xi, who were carrying things out of the car dealership.

She subconsciously pressed the button to raise the car window, the dark tint blocking out the outside world and completely concealing herself.

Even so, He Kezhou still glanced sharply in her direction.

He Zhixian rested his chin on his hand, staring at He Kezhou, who was dressed in simple black clothes and talking to his girlfriend.

The sunlight above the woman's head was blocked by the parasol he was holding in his hand.

She saw He Kezhou chuckle slightly as they said something to each other.

He Zhixian said three times, "How strange."

After more than three months apart, the intimidating coldness between the man's brows was gone, replaced by a relaxed and gentle demeanor.

If he blended in with ordinary people, you would never guess that he was the feared head of the He family.

"Luan Shuo, don't you think he's become a bit more popular?"

Luan Shuo nodded slightly.

He Zhixian leaned against the car window, his face expressionless: "He can't live like this for long. Let's go, let's go back to Hong Kong."

The van started and drove for about ten meters before Luan Shuo stepped on the brakes.

His gaze fell on a white Toyota ten meters away.

The man in the car huddled in the driver's seat, his eyelids half-closed, his eyes glued to the woman next to He Kezhou out of the corner of his eye.

His surface was calm, but his eyes were full of scrutiny, weighing of options, and coldness.

The man's face had appeared in Ning Xi's social interactions.

He Zhixian followed Luan Shuo's gaze and glanced in that direction.

Ignore it.

……

Ning Xi took a shower as soon as she got home.

After taking a shower, I feel refreshed.

She walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair wrapped up.

He Kezhou had just finished tidying up the dishes in the kitchen and at the sink when he came out of the kitchen.

She saw that He Kezhou's phone on the sofa was lit up, picked it up and handed it to him: "Your phone has a message."

He Kezhou's hands were still wet after washing the dishes.

He recited his lock screen password to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi stuffed the phone into his pocket. "Don't order people around. Dry your hands and look at it yourself."

He Kezhou's dark eyes were fixed on her.

Ning Xi hadn't checked his phone in a long time.

In fact, most of the time, I avoid touching his phone.

Ning Xi had no idea what He Kezhou was thinking. He was engrossed in watching videos of delivery drivers interacting with cats, dogs, and strangers while delivering food.

How can someone be so happy delivering food?

She assumed He Kezhou was going to the car dealership, so she lazily slumped onto the sofa, took off her hair drying cap, and continued scrolling through her phone while drying her hair with the electric fan.

He Kezhou went to the bathroom and came out with a hair dryer.

Ning Xi pressed down on his hand, which was about to blow-dry her hair. "Just use the fan. You go about your business and don't worry about me."

He Kezhou put down the hairdryer, knelt down on the floor, and leaned against the sofa next to her legs.

Ning Xi looked up at him.

He Kezhou was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Ning Xi lightly kicked his waist, "Take a shower and go to your room to sleep. I'll wake you at 1:30."

He Kezhou grabbed her foot as she tried to pull it back and tickled the sole of her foot with his fingertips.

Ning Xi wrapped her arm around his neck, putting him in a chokehold.

He Kezhou turned around, supported her waist, and carried her on his back.

Ning Xi struggled to get down.

He Kezhou gently placed her back on the sofa and kissed her on the corner of her lips.

Ning Xi rolled her eyes at him. "You're full? You still have so much energy, huh?"

"Stop bothering me, I need to take a nap."

He Kezhou stopped bothering Ning Xi and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he sat down next to Ning Xi's legs, leaned against the sofa, and dozed off for ten minutes.

After He Kezhou left, Ning Xi had a bold idea.

She decided to go out and deliver food for three hours after 5 p.m. today.

It's right during the evening rush hour.

Ning Xi registered on the platform and completed the online new user tutorial tasks, which took about half an hour.

Before heading out to deliver food, she fully geared up.

She found He Kezhou's electric scooter in the shed and inserted the key.

The short three-hour delivery run made Ning Xi realize that delivering food is a physically demanding job.

She drank most of a bottle of ice-cold mineral water and wiped the sweat from her neck.

On her phone, before leaving, she sent a message to He Kezhou, telling him to take care of his own dinner.

Ning Xi ate a bowl of oden at a convenience store.

After finishing the evening rush hour of food delivery, Ning Xi looked at the amount of money she didn't have enough to withdraw. She encouraged herself and comforted herself, thinking of it as a form of exercise.

She had almost used up the battery in the electric car.

Fortunately, she managed to ride back to her neighborhood.

Ning Xi fully charged the electric vehicle.

When she got home, He Kezhou had not yet returned from the car dealership.

After taking a shower, Ning Xi went straight to bed and fell asleep.
