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

After laughing, she didn't forget that she had to pay the bill.

He Kezhou shielded her in front of him and followed her to the cashier.

After paying, Ning Xi picked up a box full of loose mints from the front desk.

He Kezhou thought she wanted to eat it, so he peeled one open for her and held it to her lips.

Ning Xi opened her mouth and bit down, holding the box of round candies, and walked up to Meng Yizhen.

"Here's some candy, don't be too sad."

Meng Yizhen paused for two seconds, took the candy from her, held it on her lap, leaned back in her chair, and said casually, "Do you remember what you're going to do when you get back?"

"sleep."

Meng Yizhen chuckled, "Not going to coax your boyfriend anymore?"

……

When Ning Xi got home, she almost forgot she had to coax her boyfriend again.

He Kezhou took the cigarette pack she was holding.

Ning Xi pointed to the bathroom, "I need to take a shower, I smell bad."

She wouldn't let He Kezhou carry her to the bathroom, and went to her room to find clean clothes herself.

She found a very pretty dress and said earnestly to He Kezhou, who was standing behind her, "I'm not drunk, I'm perfectly sober."

"Otherwise, how would I remember? I still have to coax you."

He Kezhou's eyes fell on her soft, rosy lips.

He opened his arms to her, his face pale and serene: "I'll carry you."

Ning Xi threw herself into his arms and looked up at him.

He Kezhou lowered his head and kissed her cheek. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, so don't follow me. I'm going to take a shower by myself."

Ning Xi stood under the hot water, playing with the bubbles from the shower gel, humming a Peppa Pig tune.

He Kezhou stood at the bathroom door, all the restlessness and depression he had felt overnight vanished.

He chuckled softly.

Ning Xi heard He Kezhou call her name and turned off the water: "I'm coming out."

She brushed her teeth carefully and then opened the bathroom door.

He Kezhou's Adam's apple bobbed a few times. He pulled off a bath towel, wrapped her up like a silkworm cocoon, and carried her to the bed.

Ning Xi, mimicking a caterpillar crawling on the bed, asked, "He Kezhou, were you laughing just now?"

He Kezhou lowered his head and pinched her cheek: "Hmm, you've already coaxed me. Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

Ning Xi smiled softly, "I'll wait for you to sleep together."

He Kezhou's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he hummed in agreement. "It'll be out soon."

After He Kezhou left the room, Ning Xi found another dress in the closet.

After changing her clothes, she went to the living room and found the cigarette box that He Kezhou had casually tossed onto the dining table.

Ning Xi took out a cigarette and went to the kitchen to light it with gas.

This was the second time she had secretly smoked.

Ning Xi lit two cigarettes.

She placed one on the kitchen counter.

Smoke rose from her fingertips as Ning Xi gazed at her manicured nails through her lowered eyelashes.

Ningxi, my life isn't great either, but I haven't lived it like you.

The first 21 years of your life were really terrible.

I wonder if you'll be as lucky as me, to be given a second chance at life.

If you could live your life again, how would you choose to live it?

In the kitchen, no one responded to Ning Xi; only the noise of the range hood could be heard.

The sparks flickered, and smoke drifted across Ning Xi's profile.

The bathroom was filled with steam as the door was pushed open from the inside.

As soon as He Kezhou stepped out, still warm and damp from his shower, his gaze fell directly on the kitchen.

Ning Xi leaned against the kitchen counter, her skirt cascading naturally with the curve of her body. The sweet, soft dress contrasted sharply with her coughing from the smoke. She exuded a serene and radiant aura, yet a hint of stubbornness lingered in her eyes.

It seems I don't understand why I can't smoke.

When she saw He Kezhou come out, she subconsciously hid the cigarette behind her back.

He Kezhou strode into the kitchen and took the cigarette from her fingers.

Ning Xi lowered her head. "Don't be mean to me. I know smoking is bad."

She only feels the urge to smoke a cigarette to vent when she is extremely upset.

He Kezhou lowered his eyes, staring at her furrowed brows, a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, her stubbornness hidden in the solitude.

He held the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers and brought it to her lips: "I won't be mean to you, just this last puff."

Ning Xi looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

As he spoke, the half-smoked cigarette had already burned down to the end.

Ning Xi leaned closer to the cigarette butt, and just as her lips touched the cigarette, He Kezhou suddenly raised his hand.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at him somewhat slowly.

He Kezhou put the cigarette butt in his mouth and took the last drag of the cigarette he had rolled.

He casually stubbed out his cigarette on the stove, then bent down and grabbed her slender waist with one hand, pinning her firmly against the edge of the counter. He then pressed his lips against hers fiercely.

The kiss, infused with the sharp scent of tobacco, was extremely aggressive.

Men's cigarettes are too strong and pungent.

The kiss, however, was gentle.

The smell of smoke clung to my lips and teeth, and the scalding kiss filled my lungs, making even my breath feel hot.

Ning Xi wrapped her arms around He Kezhou's neck and gently licked his lips.

"It's a bit bitter."
