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

He Kezhou ran his fingertips over her rosy, slightly swollen lips, his gaze fixed on her intently, as if trying to etch her dazed, sweet, and obedient appearance into his very bones.

Ning Xi swallowed hard.

It was still so bitter; her brows furrowed tightly.

She looked up at He Kezhou, who was staring down at her, and said, "You're so mean, making me inhale secondhand smoke."

The ambiguous and romantic atmosphere was suddenly shattered by her words.

He Kezhou lowered his head, captured her lips in his mouth, and bit her lip lightly, with a hint of punishment.

"If you don't smoke, where will the secondhand smoke come from for you to inhale?"

The deep, husky voice reached Ning Xi's ears, suppressing her lingering desire.

Ning Xi pushed his face away forcefully, refusing to look him in the eyes.

She knew she was in the wrong: "I promise I won't smoke anymore."

Anyway, cigarettes are no good.

She clenched her fist arrogantly, brandishing it in front of He Kezhou: "Say it again, and I'll beat you up."

Seeing her self-righteous yet unreasonable demeanor, He Kezhou's eyes filled with helplessness. He sighed softly, bent his index finger, and flicked her brow.

Ning Xi covered her slightly aching forehead and pouted.

He Kezhou looked at her bare feet, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Go rinse your mouth."

Before leaving the kitchen, he turned off the range hood and casually threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes into the trash can.

Ning Xi felt like a small figurine that could be picked up and carried away at any time in front of He Kezhou's size.

Starting tomorrow, she will eat more food to grow taller.

In the bathroom.

Ning Xi, without slippers, stepped on He Kezhou's instep and took a big gulp of the mouthwash he handed her.

The cool mouthwash spread across my lips and teeth, and the refreshing and spicy minty flavor filled my entire mouth.

The mouthwash He Kezhou bought was just like him—cold and aloof.

Ning Xi held the mouthwash in her mouth, and it took her a few seconds to get used to the taste.

She puffed out her cheeks and gargled.

She looked up and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and burst out laughing.

Oh no, I'm admiring my own beauty.

She stared at herself in the mirror, wiped away the condensation with her fingers, and drew a small heart around He Kezhou's face where it was reflected.

He Kezhou spat out the mouthwash and his gaze fell on her fingers that were drawing a heart.

Ning Xi suddenly opened her palm, instinctively trying to erase the heart she had drawn.

He Kezhou grabbed her hand, preventing her from wiping it.

He looked down at Ning Xi in his arms and nibbled on her ear.

Ning Xi moved to the side.

The heart shape, as the fog slowly dissipated and moisture trickled down the glass, began to blur and fade at its edges…

He Kezhou, his fingers still damp, drew a heart on it again.

He handed Ning Xi two tissues and asked, looking down at her, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Ning Xi wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Sleepy."

She lay back in bed and fell asleep instantly.

He Kezhou drew the curtains and set the air conditioner to 27 degrees Celsius.

He walked to the bedside and lay down next to Ning Xi.

He Kezhou used his arm to pull Ning Xi, who was sleeping with her side facing him, into his embrace.

His gaze remained fixed on her sweet, sleeping face.

Ning Xi rolled over, curled up in his arms without any warning, and gently rubbed her cheek against his chest, her breathing even and long.

He Kezhou's deep eyes were shrouded in a dark shadow, filled with an almost obsessive longing, as he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her scent.

This face, this body, is still the same as he remembers.

The taste and aroma are different now.

Ning Xi kept her eyes closed, her face clean and gentle, and was not woken up by He Kezhou.

He Kezhou lifted his eyelids and stared at Ning Xi's long, curled, and quiet eyelashes.

The vanity, materialism, shallowness, cowardice, and greed in those eyes have long since vanished.

The soul inside has changed.

He caught a glimpse of the watch gift box on the bedside table out of the corner of his eye.

Ning Xi still insisted that he return the watch.

She focused intently on working to save money, living frugally, keeping track of her expenses, and controlling her spending. He could sense it all.

All of Ning Xi's actions were preparations for her to withdraw and leave.

She thought she had hidden it well, but in fact, her thoughts were obvious.

His cold face and fierceness no longer held any of the fear and disgust she once felt for him.

"You say you like me, you love me, but do you really love me?"

He asked the question very softly.

"Ning Xi, no matter who you are now, if you've messed with me, don't think you can leave so easily."

"I won't allow you to leave me."

……

The next day, Ning Xi woke up, changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up. She noticed a light red mark on her neck near her collarbone.

She scratched the area. "There's no bump, it doesn't look like a mosquito bite..."

She raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with suspicion, and looked at He Kezhou, who was standing to the side brushing his teeth.

He Kezhou met her clear eyes, showing no sign of guilt for being caught doing something wrong. "Yes, I bit her."

Ning Xi looked at him in disbelief, "I was asleep, and you secretly gave me a hickey?"

"Why not be a decent human being instead like a mosquito?"

"What are you thinking?!"

He Kezhou pinched her smacking lips, "If you dawdle any longer, you'll be late."

Ning Xi pinched He Kezhou's firm waist hard. "From now on, you're not allowed to do anything bad while I'm asleep."

"This time, I won't hold it against you."

He Kezhou casually put the mouthwash cup back on the shelf and lowered his head to cover her mouth.

Ning Xi heard a smack sound.

Her lips, like a bottle cap, were sucked by He Kezhou.

He Kezhou released her, staring at her angry face: "Good morning kiss."

Ning Xi was so angry that her mouth was trembling.

Whose boyfriend kisses his girlfriend this much?

A good morning kiss!

? !

Ning Xi cursed at his retreating back, "You bastard, you're not even human!"

……

After dropping Ning Xi off at the subway station, He Kezhou arrived at the car dealership, only to find the doors still closed.

On the ground, a bright lake blue hue shimmered with tiny sparkles in the sunlight.

He Kezhou braced himself on the electric scooter and looked at the shark clip.

Yesterday morning, Ning Xi went out wearing this shark clip.

He didn't see the clip in her hair last night.

After a moment's thought, He Kezhou guessed that the chaos in the crowd last night might have caused Ning Xi's clip to be knocked off.

He bent down, picked up the blue plastic shark clip from the ground, and stuffed it into his pocket.

……

theater.

After finishing her two classes in the morning, Ning Xi took advantage of her lunch break to call He Kezhou.

He should have received it on his phone by now.

The phone rang only once before it was answered.

Ning Xi smiled and asked He Kezhou, "Is the new phone any good?"

It was very noisy on He Kezhou's end, but he heard He Kezhou say that it worked well.

Ning Xi knew he had gotten the phone, and told him she would order him some food.

Dai Yilan stood resentfully behind Ning Xi, "You call your boyfriend whenever you have a spare moment. Can't you consider being single?"

Ning Xi turned her head and smiled at Teacher Dai.

Dai Yilan placed the takeout and coffee she brought in on Ning Xi's table.

Ning Xi hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not mine, I didn't order it..."

Dai Yilan pointed to the takeout order, "It has your name on it."

He Kezhou's voice came through the receiver to Ning Xi's ears: "I ordered it."

Ning Xi reached out to look at the takeout order.

Four cups of coffee, four small cakes, and two deluxe takeout meals.

The amount on the single boxed meal order made Ning Xi silent for a few seconds.

She glanced at the exquisitely packaged boxed lunch, priced at 128 yuan per serving, and exploded: "He Kezhou, I think you have money to burn. Coffee, cake, and a boxed lunch costing over 600 yuan—what were you thinking?"

"You eat a ten-yuan boxed lunch yourself, but you order such expensive takeout for me? Are you out of your mind?"

"You ordered, fine, but why so much? Are you treating me like a pig to be fed?"

The noise coming from He Kezhou's side has decreased a bit.

"If you can't finish it, share it with your colleagues."

Ning Xi was so angry that she hung up the phone immediately.

Dai Yilan poked Ning Xi's puffed-up cheeks, which looked like a pufferfish.

"Isn't it a good thing that your boyfriend is willing to spend money on you?"

Ning Xi was angry, and she was worried about spending money, but she didn't waste food.

She let Teacher Dai choose a boxed lunch, coffee, and cake that she liked first.

Dai Yilan didn't stand on ceremony with her.
