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

He Kezhou's long eyelashes cast faint shadows under her eyelids, and she breathed very softly, as if all the noise around her had been shut out, with only the deep light in her eyes fixed on her.

Ning Xi looked up and met his dark, unfathomable pupils.

The air froze for a few seconds.

She pursed her lips slightly. "He Kezhou. The word 'love' carries too much weight."

Ning Xi turned on the lights inside the room.

The light illuminated the contours of He Kezhou's face, and the expectation in his eyes instantly turned into a barely perceptible darkness.

Ning Xi's reaction was different from what he had expected.

He thought she would, as before, mix truth and falsehood, saying that of course she loved him, that she loved him very much.

Ning Xi's path was blocked by him, and she noticed that He Kezhou's gaze was so deep it made her uneasy.

She swallowed hard, her back pressed against the door, her words sincere and consistent: "He Kezhou, I like how you treat me with care, and I like having you in the house. Your presence makes me feel safe and makes me feel less lonely."

She dislikes being alone in one space for too long and is also afraid of that empty silence.

"I'm selfish; I love myself more than I love others."

She spoke very softly.

The longer they spent together, the more she was attracted to He Kezhou's personality, problem-solving skills, and emotional stability.

He possessed many qualities that she desired but lacked.

It might even lead to the thought, "If only he were just an ordinary person."

Such thoughts should not be entertained.

He Kezhou's gaze was deep and calm, like an invisible net, leaving her with nowhere to hide her emotions.

"Ning Xi, what are you afraid of?"

Ning Xi's brows furrowed with complex emotions. She sighed slowly, her gaze returning to He Kezhou's face: "You see, I can't live without you these days."

It's not that I can't live without him, but that I can't live without him.

He Kezhou leaned down, his breath brushing against her cheek. "You are more independent now than ever before."

"I never bring my unhappiness at work home."

"The sink drain was clogged, so you called a plumber to unclog it yourself."

"The toilet was clogged. I told you to wait for me to come back and unclog it. When I got back, you had already unclogged it yourself."

"In the past, dirty clothes could pile up for many days, but now clothes are never left to be washed overnight."

"If the light bulb goes out, you'll be able to set up a ladder and replace it yourself."

"In life, you can handle 90% of things on your own."

Ning Xi was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time she had ever heard He Kezhou speak so much in one breath.

He Kezhou remembered these things even more clearly than she did.

What she considered ordinary things sounded extraordinary coming from He Kezhou's mouth.

Ning Xi looked up and said, "He Kezhou, anything you've said is something any normal person who has lived alone can do."

He Kezhou was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I need you less and less these days."

Ning Xi felt the atmosphere suddenly become very heavy.

She puffed out her cheeks: "I can't rely on you forever."

"Why not?"

Ning Xi opened her mouth and said, "Everyone should have an independent personality. It's wrong and dangerous to place your hopes and expectations on others."

"You think I'm unreliable?"

Ning Xi quickly shook her head.

They are reliable, extremely reliable.

Therefore, she dared not let herself develop the habit, fearing that she would have a strong withdrawal reaction on the day they separated.

She was afraid that He Kezhou would do something bad because of her if he stayed in the new city for even a day.

The plot of the original book has been changed, but she still feels uneasy.

She didn't want anything to happen to He Zhou, and she hoped that he wouldn't have to suffer so much, and could relax for a while and live the life he truly wanted.

A life without any burdens or responsibilities.

Ning Xi smiled and praised He Kezhou in the same way she would praise a student in her class: "He Kezhou, you're amazing! You're the most reliable and dependable boyfriend in the world."

He Kezhou's expression visibly softened.

Ning Xi continued to praise, "You're so good at managing money, so good at making money. Many ordinary people don't have the ability to avoid and withstand risks. I'm so lucky to have found a boyfriend like you."

He Kezhou lowered his head and kissed her bright eyes.

Ning Xi discovered that He Kezhou was really easy to coax.

A couple of compliments and they're happy.

Her nose felt a little itchy from his kisses.

Ning Xi covered his mouth, "But, He Kezhou, I'm not as capable as you. I can only earn money within my own understanding. My risk tolerance isn't as good as yours. I want to save more money; that will make me feel more secure."

He Kezhou kissed her collarbone. "If saving money makes you feel secure and at ease, I will earn more money so you can save it."

Ning Xi laughed and dodged back, preventing him from kissing her: "He Kezhou, did you even understand what I said? I don't want you to work so hard. The money you earn should be enough to cover your expenses. If you can save some, that would be amazing."

Their faces were so close that Ning Xi saw He Kezhou nod, his forehead gently bumping against hers.

Ning Xi smiled: "How about we return the watch?"

He Kezhou wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and pressed his lips against her soft red lips: "I won't back down."

Ning Xi pinched his ears with both hands to avoid his kiss.

"Did I waste my time telling you all that?"

He Kezhou stopped kissing her. "The bag I bought you, you only carried it once, and the necklace, you never wore it."

"You don't need my money now, but in the future, will you not need me either?"

"All your actions make me feel that I'm not one of your future options."

"It's like she's prepared to break up with me at any time."

Ning Xi realized that he had guessed her thoughts, and her eyes instinctively darted away.

He Kezhou noticed her evasive movement, and with a precise lift of his long fingers, he stopped her from turning away. His gaze was fixed on her face, his dark eyes deep and intense.

Ning Xi couldn't avoid it, so she decided to go all out: "He Kezhou, can you guarantee that you'll only ever love one person in your entire life?"

"We've known each other for less than four months. Where are you from? What does your family do? All your past is a blank to me."

It wasn't less than four months, it was less than a month.

"I have my own secrets too, everyone has their own secrets."

"He Kezhou, I just want to live an ordinary life. I'm afraid that my peaceful life, which is already on track, will be disrupted."

Ning Xi pried open the fingers that were pinching her chin.

He Kezhou almost bit her lip.

Ning Xi made a "hmm" sound.

He Kezhou's nose touched hers, his breathing slightly heavy. "He Kezhou, 22 years old, birthday October 2nd. From Hong Kong, graduated from the University of Toronto with a doctoral degree. His mother passed away when he was 9. His father is a Buddhist and lives in a temple year-round. After the age of 9, he was raised by his grandmother. There are many people in his family..."

Ning Xi's heart tightened as she listened to his explanation. She firmly covered He Kezhou's parting lips with her palm, her eyelashes trembling violently. A hint of panic flickered in her eyes, and her voice was urgent: "He Kezhou, I hate the rich. Don't tell me you're some rich young master. I came to Xincheng just to experience the life of an ordinary person."

"It took me a long time to correct my vanity, materialism, and desire for shortcuts."

"I don't want to go back to being the Ning Xi I used to be."

He Kezhou's dark eyes clearly met the fear in hers, and also revealed her disgust for her past self. The words that were about to come out of her mouth were ultimately covered by her lips and swallowed back down.

He Kezhou placed his palm on her waist and kissed the palm she used to cover his mouth.

Ning Xi felt a burning sensation in her palm and released her hand from his mouth.

The next second, He Kezhou's burning kiss landed on his lips.

Their lips and tongues suddenly intertwined, their breathing completely disrupted.

He Kezhou forcefully probed in, his tongue colliding with hers as she frantically tried to dodge.

Lips pressed against lips, the breath hot and scorching.
