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

"You haven't gone shopping in a long time."

He looked down at her, his dark pupils swirling with an unfathomable vortex that silently dragged her entire being into it.

The words Ning Xi was about to say were frozen in his eyes, shattering the intense, overwhelming concern and ruthless obsession within him.

Her hands, which were resting on her lap, curled up slightly.

She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would drown completely in those gentle yet dangerous dark eyes.

If there is someone whose heart and eyes are completely filled with you.

No one could remain unmoved.

In the cramped, enclosed carriage, his gaze left Ning Xi nowhere to hide.

The lingering warmth of their lips still remained on their skin. With each breath, he infused her with his cool, refreshing minty scent, enveloping her completely.

The scent lingered in his lungs, evoking the burning sensation of their earlier contact. Reason struggled to hold him back, but his unique aroma filled his nostrils, making it impossible to escape or suppress the surging emotions within him.

Ning Xi's chest heaved, her voice slightly hoarse: "He Kezhou, if one party spends money on the other, it's not considered wasteful spending if it's based on the other party's happiness and acceptance."

"I've made it clear to you, I don't want to buy clothes."

She already has enough clothes; there's no need to buy any new ones.

There are still many new dresses in the closet that I haven't worn.

He Kezhou's eyelashes drooped heavily. "I only have the motivation to make money if you spend money."

Ning Xi insisted on going home.

He Kezhou paused slightly as he bent down to take the orange juice, fruit, and small cakes that he had brought for her from the back seat.

He sat up straight, his brows furrowed into cold, hard wrinkles, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and a layer of sullen, resentful aura emanating from him.

"I'm spending money on you, and you're unhappy and won't accept it?"

Why?

"It's only natural for a wife to spend her husband's money."

Ning Xi's gaze fell on the freshly squeezed juice he handed over, which cost twenty or thirty yuan a glass, a box of six kiwis that cost ten yuan each, four boxes of plump and high-quality blueberries, and exquisite cakes that cost twenty or thirty yuan each.

These items cost no less than 200 yuan.

Today, he spent nearly a thousand yuan on her.

Ning Xi could tell he was suppressing his emotions.

She also has emotions.

He Kezhou's indifference to money and his desire to spend money on her every day made her feel pressured.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, soft yet restrained, "Every time you buy me fruit or delicious food, I happily accept it, because it's also spending your money."

Ning Xi took the things he was carrying and placed them on her lap.

We already had a disagreement about clothes in the car.

She dislikes arguing and also dislikes uncontrolled emotional fluctuations.

She didn't restrict He Kezhou from buying things or spending money.

He can spend the money he earns however he wants.

He Kezhou would always restock her fruit and snacks at home as soon as she finished them; there was never a shortage.

Ning Xi fastened her seatbelt, her voice softening slightly: "Honey, shall we go home?"

When He Kezhou heard her call him "husband," his dark eyes softened.

He pressed his forehead against her face: "Say it again."

Ning Xi did as he wished and called out again.

She covered He Kezhou's eyes as he looked over and urged him to drive.

The vehicle was traveling in traffic.

Ning Xi's left hand was held tightly by He Kezhou. Every time they passed a red light, while waiting for the light to change, he would look at her.

It seems that holding her hand is the important thing, and driving is just a side thing.

The atmosphere eased, and Ning Xi organized her thoughts and spoke them aloud.

Her expression held a seriousness she herself didn't realize: "He Kezhou, from now on, I can buy whatever I want to eat. I'm getting tired of the things you buy."

"Every time you buy something, you buy too much and end up wasting it because you can't finish it."

"We have different consumption habits. What you think I might like, I might not like."

She grabbed a handful of blueberries and stuffed them into He Kezhou's mouth to prevent him from interrupting her: "You bought these blueberries, eat more."

He Kezhou ate the blueberry in her hand, and as she pulled her hand away, he quickly kissed her fingertips.

At another red light, he slammed on the brakes. "If you don't like what I bought you, I can change it. Tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you."

Ning Xi thought about it seriously: "Right now, I don't have anything I particularly like or want. I have a job that I enjoy and that I can make a living, I get enough sleep every day, I eat on time, and my emotions are stable. This is already the best state of my life."

He Kezhou listened to her very attentively, and Ning Xi thought he had taken her words to heart.

As the car drove into the largest shopping mall in the new city, which was packed with people every weekend, she realized that He Kezhou had never intended to go straight home from the beginning.

Ning Xi sat in the car and looked at He Kezhou, who opened the door for her: "I told you, I don't go shopping."

He Kezhou opened the back door of the car, picked up the paper bag that Ning Xi had pained her to cut off, and said, "Return the clothes."

Ning Xi's resolve not to get off the bus began to waver.

"The tag has been removed, and there's no receipt, so a refund is not possible."

He Kezhou looked down at the paper bag in his hand. "Do you trust me?"

Ning Xi pinched the fabric on her knee with her fingertips. "Do you have a way to return it?"

He Kezhou hummed in agreement. "If you don't want to get off the bus, I'll go and return it."

He handed the keys to Ning Xi, saying, "It's hot inside, so go start it yourself and turn on the air conditioning. I'll be down soon."

Ning Xi didn't take the key, but He Kezhou's confidence and certainty made her think that maybe the dress could really be returned.

The happiness in Ning Xi's eyes made He Kezhou's dark eyes remain deep and unfathomable.

He Kezhou reached out his hand to her.

Ning Xi got out of the car briskly, her eyes only on the clothes she wanted to return, her gaze quickly scanning the area to find the entrance to the mall.

She turned around and saw He Kezhou standing beside the car, staring at her without moving.

She blinked. "Let's go."

He Kezhou didn't move. "Other couples are holding hands."

Ning Xi looked around and only saw two men getting out of a car not far away.

She didn't move, standing still and urging him on.

He Kezhou seemed determined not to leave without her holding his hand.

Ning Xi walked over and pinched his little finger.

He Kezhou looked down at her, remaining motionless.

Ning Xi took a deep breath, placed her hand in his large palm, and tightly held his fingers.

He Kezhou took a step, then suddenly stopped.

Ning Xi tried to pull him, but couldn't budge him.

He Kezhou: "Other couples hold hands."

Ning Xi's eyes widened. "He Kezhou, don't push your luck!"

"Around here, besides us, find a couple and let me see!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a male voice reached her ears.

"Honey, the necklace you wanted is in stock! I rushed over to pick you up as soon as I got the news, okay, honey?"

"My dear husband is the best to me. He's generous with money, can cook, and is a great earner."

The young couple held hands, their love and affection evident.

Ning Xi withdrew her gaze and conceded.

She held up their intertwined hands in front of He Kezhou, "Now you can finally leave, right?"

He Kezhou started to move.

They entered the same elevator as that young couple.

The young couple's words reached Ning Xi and He Kezhou's ears.

"Honey, once we get our quarterly bonuses, we'll go buy that car you've been wanting."

"Honey, do you think I'm spending too much money? This month, I went over budget on haircuts, beauty treatments, bags, and clothes."

"My mom called me today and scolded me, saying that I am not considerate at all, that I don't appreciate how hard my husband works to earn money, that I am wasteful and not virtuous."

The man's voice suddenly rose, "A wife's dignity, a husband's respectability."

"If I don't spend money on you, do you expect other men to spend money on you?"

"If I, as a man, let my wife live a frugal and shabby life, then I am truly useless. Look at the rich people around you, aren't they all successful because they love their wives and cherish them?"

After the man finished speaking, he looked at He Kezhou and said, "Brother, you agree, right?"
