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

When He Kezhou returned home, he found the house unusually quiet tonight.

The living room light was on, drawing his gaze toward the closed bedroom door.

He pushed open the door and saw Ning Xi lying on the bed. He walked over and touched her forehead.

The temperature is normal.

I'm not sick.

He Kezhou gazed at her eyelids and gently touched the corner of her eye.

There was no sign of crying.

Ning Xi was awakened by He Kezhou's movements.

She opened her eyes, still half-asleep, and saw He Kezhou squatting in front of her. She gave him a big thumbs up.

"He Kezhou, you're really amazing, you can deliver takeout for so long."

"I delivered food for three hours today, I'm exhausted."

He Kezhou frowned. "Why did you suddenly go out to deliver food?"

Ning Xi rubbed her face against the thin blanket she was holding. "My physical fitness is too poor. Racing against time and climbing stairs can help me exercise."

He Kezhou sat on the floor, his dark eyes staring intently into Ning Xi's eyes.

Ning Xi rolled over, avoiding his eyes: "You can deliver food, but I can't? That's tyrannical!"

He Kezhou stared at her thin back, then walked to the other side, making her face towards him again: "I'm not sending any more now."

Ning Xi sat up, clutching a thin blanket. "You're angry, so I'll deliver takeout?"

He Kezhou hummed in agreement.

He knows how hard it is to deliver food, how dangerous it is to weave through traffic to save time.

Moreover, Ning Xi is a girl.

Ning Xi hugged the thin blanket and didn't say anything.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Ning Xi stated, "I won't send them anymore."

She'll think of other ways to make money.

He Kezhou leaned down and looked into Ning Xi's eyes: "Ning Xi, what are you worried about or uneasy about?"

He Kezhou's insightful observations kept Ning Xi quiet for a long time.

"He Kezhou, I want to earn more money to help support our family. You work so hard to earn money, I don't want to hold you back."

She wanted to save enough money as soon as possible.

Today, Zhou Zhishui said he felt someone was watching the car dealership.

It was just a casual remark, but it amplified Ning Xi's unease.

She wondered if someone had discovered that He Kezhou was in the new city.

Is someone looking for He Kezhou?

He Kezhou cupped Ning Xi's face in his hands, "You've been working really hard to earn money; you haven't held me back."

Ning Xi hugged his waist. "Then, how about you go to bed early tonight?"

Last night, He Kezhou repaired an iMac and a laptop until 2 a.m.

The goods were all piled up in the living room.

Some have been repaired, while others have not.

He Kezhou did not stay up late that night.

But he started getting up at four in the morning.

Ning Xi managed to keep him from staying up late, but she couldn't stop him from waking up early.

When He Kezhou woke up, she was still sound asleep.

He Kezhou sold all of that batch of goods two days later.

On Thursday evening, Ning Xi exited the subway station half an hour later than usual.

One of the children in the class was picked up by his parents half an hour late because of an emergency.

Ning Xi exited the subway, where He Ke and Hong Zhou were already waiting.

She sat on the back of the electric scooter and hugged He Kezhou's waist, saying, "I'm holding on tight."

He Kezhou took her left hand, which was wrapped around his waist, and put a small Longines square watch on her wrist.

The coldness from her wrist startled Ning Xi.

She withdrew her hand, saw the watch, and was furious: "He Kezhou, how much does this watch cost?"

"You're wasting money again!"

Thinking about the principal he transferred to her Alipay account today and the six thousand yuan he made from reselling that batch of goods, Ning Xi felt that she needed to have a good talk with He Kezhou about the expenses of spending money to buy her gifts.

She didn't even know where He Kezhou got the money to buy her the gift.

He Kezhou took her hand and placed it back on his waist: "It looks good on you, you didn't waste money."

Last night, he saw Ning Xi online looking at a digital watch that cost less than a thousand yuan, added it to her shopping cart, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to buy it.

He took on an outsourcing job that morning, developing warehouse management software for a small company.

The software is mainly used for goods entry and exit registration, warehouse record keeping, and warehouse data statistics. The other party needed it urgently, so they gave a deposit of 15,000 yuan, agreed to deliver it in one week, and then pay the balance of 35,000 yuan.

The program development wasn't difficult; he could finish it in three nights.

After listening to him, Ning Xi knew he was going to stay up all night again, and her tone left no room for negotiation: "He Kezhou, do you still have the box and receipt for the watch? We'll return it."

"I see how hard you work to earn money. But you have no sense of proportion when it comes to spending it."

"A watch is just for telling time; I can buy a cheap one and use it just as well."

Ning Xi used a shopping app to scan an image and saw that the official price of this watch was 11700.

She was very careful, afraid that scratching the watch would affect after-sales service.

He Kezhou parked his electric scooter in the shed and looked at her intently: "You look great in it. Your first reaction is that you like this watch. If you're hesitant because of the price, just wear it like a cheap watch."

Ning Xi wasn't worried about the money, nor did she feel she didn't deserve a good watch.

He Kezhou treated her so well unconditionally, always wanting to spend money on her, making her afraid she wouldn't be able to repay him.

Once inside, Ning Xi stood in the entryway without immediately changing her shoes.

She looked intently into He Kezhou's eyes: "He Kezhou, you've made money, but you haven't spent a single penny on yourself. You always wear the same few outfits and the same two pairs of shoes. You could spend more of your money on yourself."

"If you spent that money on yourself instead of on the watch, I would be happier than if I had received the gift."

"I'm just a girl from an ordinary family, and I know my spending power. Before, because of vanity, I always compared myself to others, wanting this and that. But material things can't compare to inner richness. In life, a little ritual and surprise now and then is enough. When I get off work, you pick me up, and you buy me my favorite fruits, milk tea, and small cakes every day. These are more precious than expensive gifts."

Ning Xi joked on purpose, "He Kezhou, if you're too rich and always buy me those expensive gifts, I'll feel very insecure."

"When one desire is satisfied, more desires will arise."

"If you don't want to spend the money yourself, you can leave it with me, and I'll save it for you."

He Kezhou looked down at her. "You once said that you would only want to spend my money if you loved me, and when you don't love someone, you would only want to save them money."

When he didn't earn much money in the past, Ning Xi never cared whether he had money or not. If she liked something, she would buy it or ask him for it.

Now that he earns more money than before, Ning Xi no longer spends his money.

"Ning Xi, do you love me?"
