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

After a while, she pulled off the thin blanket covering her and followed them to the living room.

The heat in the living room and He Kezhou, who had buttoned up all his shirts and started typing code, left Ning Xi confused.

He was clearly holding back a lot just now, so why did he suddenly lose interest?

Ning Xi knelt down on the sofa next to him, brought her face close to He Kezhou, hugged his firm waist, and smiled sweetly.

"Honey~"

He Kezhou kept a straight face, not looking at her, his fingertips flying across the keyboard.

Ning Xi felt that she had completely blocked his view of the screen, so how could he still be so focused on coding?

"Honey, hug me~"

She knelt on the sofa, her soft and shapely figure on full display.

He Kezhou bit his cheek, tossed aside the computer on his lap, and pulled Ning Xi, who was against his chest, into his arms.

He rubbed her lower back hard with his fingertips, his throat tight and hoarse. Although his aura was cold and intimidating, his movements as he embraced her were gentle.

"You're tired, let's not do it tonight."

Ning Xi wanted to persist, but He Kezhou gently pressed his chin against the top of her head.

"You promised to do a project, but you haven't finished half of it yet. Go to sleep, okay?"

Ning Xi tilted her head to look at him, "Are you in a hurry to deliver?"

He Kezhou closed his eyes and inhaled the sweet fragrance of her hair.

"Okay, let's not argue anymore. You go to sleep, I'll finish the last section and then go back to my room."

Ning Xi didn't loosen her grip on his waist. "There's air conditioning in the room. Let's go to the room and write."

He Kezhou held her in his arms, feeling her warmth, and his panicked heart calmed down.

"The keyboard makes noises and disturbs your sleep."

Ning Xi smiled: "I like to sleep with sounds around me; it makes me sleep more soundly."

He Kezhou wiped the sweat from her forehead and came out of the living room. She had been sweating profusely in just a few minutes. "I'll get a glass of water and then go back inside. You go back to your room first."

Ning Xi let go of him and got off the sofa. "Let's go back to the room quickly, it's too hot in the living room."

She went back to her room and received a video call from her aunt.

When her aunt asked her about Cheng Yue's injury, she neither embellished the story nor distorted the facts.

After Ning Xi finished speaking, there was a brief silence on Ning Fangping's end.

During the day, the Cheng family's attitude towards her changed from usual.

Normally, when I see her, I greet her warmly and chat about everyday things. But today, the way she looked at me was not only cold, but also filled with resentment.

When she went to the market that morning, she overheard Grandma Cheng telling the vegetable vendor that she had raised a wonderful niece with a fiery temper. Her boyfriend worked at a car dealership, wasn't very successful, had a bad temper, liked to solve problems with violence, and might even have a tendency towards domestic violence.

Hearing these words made Ning Fangping feel choked up all day.

Grandma Cheng's words may not be unfounded.

Ning Xi's words explained the sudden change in the Cheng family's attitude.

Ning Fangping never imagined that the child she had watched grow up would be so shameless and despicable.

Ning Xi suffered a lot of grievances and bullying behind her back.

"Xiao Xi, are you angry with me?"

Ning Xi was taken aback. "Why did you say that, Aunt?"

"This has nothing to do with my aunt."

Ning Fangping: "I was busy with work, so I was strict with you from a young age, forcing you to get high scores in every subject and forcing you to take Go and drawing classes that you didn't like. I even restricted you from making friends."

"Over the years, I believe I have never failed you in terms of material conditions or educational opportunities. I have given you everything I could without reservation."

"I had a dream last night that you were a child, quietly reading a book in my office while I got off work."

"I called you home, and you smiled and waved goodbye. You even told me you regretted leaving school to work, that you hadn't taken better care of me right away..."

Ning Xi's fingertips, gripping the phone, turned slightly white, and she remained silent for a long time.

She heard her aunt's voice on the other end of the line, hoarse from years of excessive talking during class: "Auntie hopes you're doing well."

"Next week is the anniversary of your father's death. Would it be convenient for you to take time off?"

Ning Xi said she would ask for leave.

Ning Fangping hummed in agreement, telling her not to stay up so late and to go to bed and rest earlier.

The time on my phone just jumped to 22:30.

After the video call ended, Ning Fangping transferred another 5,000 yuan to Ning Xi in the chat box.

Ning Xi opened her aunt's voice message.

"Take this money and buy something you like. It's not a loan, so you don't have to pay it back."

Ning Xi's nose stung with tears as she typed in the input box: "I have money, Auntie's money, Auntie can keep it for herself. I will work hard to earn money so that Auntie can live a good life."

Aunt: "I can still earn money now, so please accept this. When you can't earn money anymore, if you have a conscience, come back and visit your aunt often. Your aunt doesn't need you to support her in her old age; just take care of yourself."

Ning Xi stopped typing and sent a voice message to her aunt: "I will work hard to earn money, take you on a trip, buy you beautiful clothes and delicious food. When you get old, I will take care of you."

Aunt: "I'm not eating the cake you're drawing. Go to sleep now."

Ning Xi sat on the bed, holding her phone.

She didn't just make empty promises.

Although she is poor now, she will work hard to earn money and become rich.

The first thing she does after making money is to spend it on the people around her who love and care for her!

Ning Xi didn't accept her aunt's transfer and stared at the chat box for a long time.

It will take so long that I will remember these conversations.

She looked up at the door, which was ajar, and muttered, "He Kezhou took way too long to pour this water."

Ning Xi walked to the door of the room, and before she could fully push the door open, she heard a crisp sound of a glass falling to the ground and shattering outside.

She stepped out of the room and immediately noticed the mess under the dining table, with tiny shards of glass scattered everywhere, gleaming coldly white under the light.

He Kezhou had already bent down to pick it up with his bare hands when she looked over and a sharp shard suddenly sliced ​​open his palm, blood flowing down between his fingers.

Warm blood dripped down his beautiful knuckles, each drop hitting the ground and blooming into a glaringly bright red spot.

Ning Xi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she rushed over quickly.

He Kezhou hid his hands behind his back, using his long arm to block her from getting close to the area with broken glass.

His gaze fell on her bare feet, clad in pink pig slippers. "I accidentally broke a cup. Let me clean it up. You go back to your room first."

Ning Xi grabbed his bleeding hand, which was hidden behind his back. "He Kezhou, picking up glass shards with your bare hands, do you want to throw your hand away?"

"Don't move, let me take a look."

Her voice was urgent yet soft as she rushed over, her eyes filled with concern, urgency, and a hint of anger.

Blood continued to seep from the wound on He Kezhou's palm. He lowered his eyes and tried to pull his hand back, but stopped when he saw Ning Xi's slightly reddened eyes.

He met her eyes, which were filled with worry, and all he could see was the injury on his hand.

He Kezhou was tense, but his cold and heavy heart inexplicably relaxed, and even the stinging pain from his wounds lessened.

Ning Xi's concern and care completely dispelled his anger and restlessness, leaving him with a strangely soothing and peaceful state of mind.
