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

Her intention was clearly to care about him and not want him to get into trouble.

Ning Xi, after being repeatedly scolded by him, also lost her temper. She knew He Kezhou was worried about her and cared about her, and she understood that he minded her for hiding something. But the grievance and anger she felt at the moment wouldn't subside at all.

She chased away the bad guys, but He Kezhou didn't give her a kind look from beginning to end.

Ning Xi turned her face away, refusing to look at He Kezhou again.

Zhou Zhishui touched his nose.

He said these words in an attempt to ease the tension between Ning Xi and He Kezhou.

Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

He decided to stay away from conflict.

"Brother Zhen, hurry up, let's lock the door and go eat."

"Let's go to Xiaomin BBQ, GOGOGO!"

Meng Yizhen tossed the broom in her hand to Zhou Zhishui: "Stand up the trash can and sweep the trash clean."

Zhou Zhishui touched his nose, looked at the trash on the ground and the "peacefully" lying trash can, and asked, "Can't we clean it up tomorrow?"

"The trash can is sleepy, let's not disturb its sleep."

Meng Yizhen glanced at him.

Zhou Zhishui picked up a broom and began sweeping the floor, huffing and puffing.

He was so arrogant and domineering when he kicked the trash can, but now he's feeling incredibly ashamed when he's sweeping up the trash.

……

At the barbecue restaurant.

Ning Xi nudged He Kezhou, who was keeping a cold face and not saying a word, with her elbow. "I want to eat an apple. Can you go to the fruit shop and buy me one?"

He Kezhou got up and went to buy her apples with a cold face.

Zhou Zhishui got up as well. "I'm going to the beer house next door to buy two pitchers of Longjing craft beer."

Only Ning Xi and Meng Yizhen, who was preparing the dishes, remained at the table.

Ning Xi ordered a new phone for He Kezhou on her phone—the latest Huawei model.

It can be delivered directly to the car dealership tomorrow morning.

She put down her phone and looked at Meng Yizhen.

Meng Yizhen's hand didn't stop picking at the vegetables. She glanced at Ning Xi and guessed what she wanted to ask He Kezhou after sending him away.

"I unplugged the power to the store's security cameras beforehand, so the street cameras couldn't capture anything outside the store and left no trace."

Ning Xi felt a sense of relief.

That's why people say someone can be a boss.

Thoughtful and meticulous.

Meng Yizhen clearly saw the concern for He Kezhou in her eyes.

You've changed a lot lately.

Meng Yizhen's words silenced Ning Xi for a few seconds.

She lowered her eyelashes: "The Ning Xi of the past is dead."

He Kezhou came in carrying apples and heard Ning Xi's soft voice.

Ning Xi noticed the gaze behind her and turned around.

She smiled and stretched out her hands to He Kezhou, asking for an apple. "You were mean to me and ignored me, but I won't hold it against you."

"I am very generous."

He Kezhou lowered his eyes, staring intently at her soft lips as they moved.

If they weren't out in public, he would kiss her so hard she couldn't speak.

Every single apple that He Kezhou brought back had been washed.

Ning Xi chose the prettiest red apple.

She took small bites while waiting for the food to arrive.

Ning Xi hadn't had barbecue in a long time, and the smell of barbecue made her mouth water.

Eating barbecue without drinking ice-cold beer is like having no soul.

Ning Xi ate skewers and drank alcohol with gusto.

After finishing my third beer, I made sure to refill my glass.

Zhou Zhishui let out a burp, "You can really hold your liquor."

"Why are you like a rabbit, only eating vegetables?"

Ning Xi patted her round belly. "The vegetarian skewers are delicious."

Zhou Zhishui disagreed and grabbed a handful of grilled shrimp for her: "Eating shrimp won't make you fat, here you go."

Ning Xi took the beer and prepared to raise her glass to toast Zhou Zhishui.

My hand reached for nothing.

The glass she filled with wine was in He Kezhou's hand.

This man stole her wine without a word.

Ning Xi gave him a accusing look, "If you want to drink, I'll pour you some."

Why did you steal her wine?

He Kezhou took the empty cup away without returning it to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi stood up to get a cup.

He Kezhou not only snatched her wine, but also threw her cup into the trash can.

She was so angry that she headbutted his arm.

She swayed and fell into his arms.

He Kezhou immediately protected her waist, preventing her from falling off the chair.

His brow furrowed, and his gaze locked onto her intently.

Ning Xi understood; He Kezhou wouldn't let her drink anymore.

"Fine, I won't drink it then. Why are you being so fierce?"

She took a bite of shrimp, then stared longingly at the ice-cold beer; she wanted more.

He Kezhou was a despotic tyrant.

He Kezhou glanced at the kettle next to Meng Yizhen.

Meng Yizhen noticed the look in his eyes and poured Ning Xi a glass of warm water.

Ning Xi took the paper cup with both hands, assuming it contained ice-cold beer, her eyes shining like tiny stars: "You're a good person."

Meng Yizhen raised her glass to her, "To good people."

Zhou Zhishui stared at Ning Xi's flushed cheeks, unable to contain his amusement.

No wonder He Kezhou took her wine; she'd already drunk too much.

Zhou Zhishui: "Ning Xi, I take back what I just said. You're a noob."

Ning Xi put the paper cup aside with some dissatisfaction.

It doesn't contain alcohol, it contains warm water.

As the alcohol took effect, she rested her chin on the table and said, "You're the one who's a pushover, your whole family are pushovers."

Zhou Zhishui almost spat out the wine that was about to come to his lips.

"Ningxi, you look especially silly right now."

Ning Xi slowly lifted her eyelids. "Don't swear."

Zhou Zhishui couldn't hold back any longer.

Ning Xi has the potential to be a comedic actress.

Ning Xi tilted her head, turning her face towards He Kezhou, "Let me tell you a secret, I always drink in secret. I drink while hiding."

He Kezhou lifted her chin with his palm to prevent the barbecue skewers on the table from pricking her face.

Zhou Zhishui, craving a cigarette, took out a lipstick but didn't light it, and asked Ning Xi curiously, "Why don't you drink it openly?"

Ning Xi obediently placed her face in He Kezhou's palm.

"I wouldn't dare."

Zhou Zhishui found Ning Xi, who was drunk, particularly amusing.

"Is your family that strict?"

Ning Xi shook her head, her voice very soft: "I have no family."

Zhou Zhishui remained silent for a long time.

He only learned tonight that Ning Xi had no parents since she was a child.

He Kezhou stared at Ning Xi's quiet, drooping eyelashes, and felt a sudden, dull pain in his heart.

She pressed Ning Xi's head into her arms.

Ning Xi sat up straight, ruffled her messy hair, and chuckled, "No, I have an aunt now. How lucky. Although my aunt is strict, she cares about me a lot. I like her."

Everyone was silent, just watching her.

Ning Xi sniffed. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you think I'm pathetic?"

"I am not pitiful at all. I have no abusive, alcoholic, or gambling father, no broken mother, and no younger brother who will inherit the throne."

"Although I envy others who have parents, I also think, how wonderful it is that everyone has parents."

Zhou Zhishui, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "You're quite good at comforting yourself."

Ning Xi looked at the golden liquid in the beer bag. "If there's a bad life, there are countless other people's lives that are even worse."

"Self-help, self-salvation."

She said those two sentences very softly and very earnestly.

Zhou Zhishui picked up his half-empty glass of wine from the table and drank it all.

He spoke with unusual seriousness: "Some parents are better off not having at all."

Ning Xi looked at him.

Zhou Zhishui casually leaned on the table: "Curious? DM me, transfer 50 to unlock the full version of 'The Rich Young Master Who's Unloved by His Father and Mother'."

Meng Yizhen tossed the lighter to Zhou Zhishui.

Zhou Zhishui lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Meng Yizhen poured Ning Xi another glass of iced beer.

Ning Xi lifted her eyelashes and glanced at He Kezhou. "I'm not drinking anymore. My boyfriend doesn't want me to."

She and He Kezhou laughed foolishly, "Am I super well-behaved?"

She placed her hands on He Kezhou's face, "Why are you still so unhappy? Let me comfort you."

The next second, Ning Xi let go of her hand, "Forget it, you're too hard to coax. I can't coax you, so I'm not going to."

He Kezhou pulled her hand back to his face, "You've done a good job of coaxing me."

Zhou Zhishui put out his cigarette.

He suddenly didn't want to go outside to smoke alone.

He leaned back in his chair and stared at the young couple opposite him.

"It makes me want to fall in love."

Today is another day I'm moved by the happiness of others.

Meng Yizhen didn't say anything, leaning lazily against the back of her chair, drinking one glass of wine after another.

Ning Xi pinched He Kezhou's cheek.

It feels great.

She laughed, "There are too many people now. I'll coax you properly when I get home."

Zhou Zhishui had a extinguished cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Just keep bluffing, and we can pay to watch it."

He Kezhou glanced at him.

Zhou Zhishui slapped her own mouth.

It's his fault; he answered too quickly.

Ning Xi stopped looking at the ice-cold beer and started staring longingly at the cigarette on Zhou Zhishui's lips. "Can I have one?"

Zhou Zhishui handed the remaining half-box to Ning Xi, asking, "Does your boyfriend allow you to smoke?"

Ning Xi laughed, "He can't control me."

"Oh my!" Zhou Zhishui laughed until her stomach hurt.

Ning Xi smiled along.
