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

He Kezhou couldn't lie to himself, and he didn't want to stay in Meng Yizhen's house for free any longer.

Zhou Zhishui exclaimed "Hey!" and couldn't help but remind He Kezhou, "Your voice is getting hoarseer and hoarse. Buy some cold medicine on the way back and take a cold shower. It'll feel good, but it's worrying me about your health."

He Kezhou suppressed a cough, "I can handle it."

Zhou Zhishui said nothing more; between men, saying too much would seem pretentious.

All the way there, He Kezhou kept thinking that if he told Ning Xi about this, she would definitely make a scene and refuse to move.

He arrived outside the residential area, parked his electric scooter, and went to buy noodles as usual.

When he was paying, he noticed that the money he had transferred to Ning Xi had been returned by her.

When he transferred the money to Ning Xi, he still had work to do, and after he finished, he casually tossed his phone aside.

Only now have I had time to look at my phone.

Ning Xi was free from a barrage of messages and phone calls, allowing him to have a long-awaited peaceful workday.

This thousand yuan was the fee he agreed to pay a male car repairman for driving for him for a day next Monday, when he was off work.

The job was arranged for him by Zhou Zhishui.

Zhou Zhishui also managed to get the boss to prepay him the money by using his persuasive skills.

He Kezhou was carrying a bag of noodles. Did Ning Xi think he wasn't getting enough?

Thinking about having to explain to Ning Xi when he got back that he only had this much money, and that Ning Xi would scold him for being useless and good-for-nothing, he slowed down his electric scooter ride.

There are still nine days until he gets paid. Ning Xi knows without a doubt that he's almost spent all his money.

If Ning Xi doesn't overspend this month, with his salary, from delivering food, and taking on some side jobs, he can pay back the rent he owes Meng Yizhen. He can then leave Ning Xi some living expenses and still have money left over to rent a new place.

It's just a rented house, so it won't be very nice.

Thinking of this, He Kezhou floored the accelerator. He just wanted to get home quickly and cook noodles. After eating, he could go out and deliver food for another three hours.

He got off work late today and missed the evening delivery rush.

The moment he opened the door, He Kezhou smelled the rich aroma of food coming from inside the house.

Hearing the noise, Ning Xi peeked out from the kitchen.

"You're back! The food is ready. I'll serve you rice and you can eat now."

He Kezhou looked at the dishes on the table and was in a daze for several seconds.

The woman's hair was tied up high, and she wore a black short-sleeved shirt that covered her knees, and a white ice cream-colored mini skirt with a ruffled hem peeking out.

Her long, straight legs were dazzlingly white in the light.

Ning Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm. "What are you standing there for? Come and eat!"

He Kezhou's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, just like hers; he was clearly also extremely hot.

He was wearing the same black short-sleeved shirt as her, carrying a convenience bag, and she accurately caught the surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

Ning Xi pointed to her clothes and explained, "There are no aprons in the kitchen, and all my clothes are light-colored, so I found one of yours."

She placed two bowls of rice on the table and went back to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

In He Kezhou's view, the kitchen was a mess, unused but neatly organized. The trash was all bagged up, and the used cutting board and knife were all put back in their original places.

The aroma of the food made He Kezhou's stomach rumble twice.

He tightened his grip on the convenience bag.

Ning Xi heard his stomach growling and walked up to He Kezhou, guessing that he probably didn't want to eat the food she had cooked.

She looked up at He Kezhou and said, "I've been cooking this meal for a long time. If you're worried that I might have poisoned it or put something unclean in it, I'll eat it first to show you."

A month ago, the original owner put the kind of medicine that she bought online into the water that He Kezhou was drinking.

The color and taste of that glass of water alerted He Kezhou.

The original owner didn't understand how He Kezhou could resist touching her even though they were living together.

They had seen each other naked, but apart from that, nothing had crossed the line. In fact, the way He Kezhou looked at her didn't seem like the normal reaction of a man looking at his girlfriend.

She even felt disgusted.

The original owner wanted to, but He Kezhou did not.

This made her wonder if there was something wrong with He Kezhou.

When the drugging failed, she was convinced that He Kezhou was the one with the problem.

After that, the original owner became even more relentless in her harassment of He Kezhou, constantly picking fights with him.

Since then, He Kezhou has almost never drunk water at home, nor eaten anything that has left his sight.

Ning Xi felt that everything the original owner did could refresh her understanding of the world.

So, from the beginning, she took an extra pair of chopsticks to use as serving chopsticks.

She used serving chopsticks to put each dish into her own bowl first, and then ate them one by one in front of He Kezhou.

The woman stood by the dining table, her neck drooping, a few strands of hair clinging to her hair with sweat.

He remained silent and didn't approach her. His eyes showed a mixture of grievance and disappointment.

He Kezhou placed the convenience bag he was carrying on the dining table and sat down next to Ning Xi.

The meal wasn't as difficult as Ning Xi had imagined.

He Kezhou picked up his chopsticks.

As soon as the food entered his mouth, he picked up vegetables and ate rice faster.

Ning Xi reminded him to drink the soup, "I made it especially for you. Try the temperature, and if you feel it's a bit cold, I'll heat it up again."

Her mood improved significantly as He Kezhou ate his meal with gusto.

He Kezhou's gaze fell on the corn, carrot, and pork rib soup with scallions floating on top.

Ning Xi's voice was unusually gentle. Her gaze towards him was pleasant and serene.

He Kezhou swallowed the food in his mouth. "After I finish delivering food tonight, I'll work as a designated driver. You can use that thousand for now, and I'll transfer another amount to you tomorrow."

Ning Xi couldn't swallow the food in her mouth.

"He Kezhou, I'm not asking you for money, and you don't need to treat me as your obligation or responsibility."

"In the past, I had a terrible temper and a nasty personality. Now I want to change and I want to be good to you."

"It took me almost two hours to make this meal. It was hot in the kitchen, and I even got oil splattered on my hands. What I want is for you to eat this meal without any pressure or burden."

That would make her very happy and feel that it was all worthwhile.

After saying these words, Ning Xi didn't look at He Kezhou and buried her head in her rice.

In He Kezhou's line of sight, there was the woman's soft, fluffy hair and reddened eyelids.

Ning Xi's words left him stunned for a long time.

After Ning Xi finished her meal, she heard the man's hoarse voice softly apologize to her, "I'm sorry..."

She picked up her bowl and chopsticks, her smile somewhat forced, "If you feel bad, then eat more."

Ning Xi thought that if she left the table, He Kezhou might feel more comfortable eating and would eat more.

He Kezhou's eyes met Ning Xi's forced smile. As she got up to leave the table, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed her arm.

His actions preceded his consciousness.

The skin my fingertips touched was warm and soft.

Ning Xi looked at He Kezhou with some surprise.

He Kezhou pursed his lips, looking helpless and exhausted: "Don't cry."

When Ning Xi cries, she is very difficult to soothe and may do unexpected and dangerous things.

Ning Xi rubbed her eyes with her arm. She wasn't going to cry.

She didn't know why, but whenever her emotions got even slightly agitated, her eyelids would turn red. It looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

He Kezhou took the initiative to pull her aside, making her feel that today's meal was half successful.

Their relationship seems to be improving.

He even started to take the initiative to touch her.

Ning Xi felt that it was more likely that He Kezhou was going along with her to avoid the trouble of her arguing with him.
