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

He Kezhou gently brushed the stray hairs on her cheek with his fingertips, slowly tucking them behind her ear. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her earlobe, the touch warm and hot.

His features appeared dignified and composed, yet a deep, dark light lingered in his eyes. His gaze was fixed on her reddened lips, a hint of suppressed desire pressing down at the corners of his mouth.

Ning Xi was burned by his gaze, so she grabbed the chopsticks on the table and shoved them into his hand.

"I'm starving!"

Ning Xi buried her head in her rice, and when she picked up food, she would avoid looking at He Kezhou beside her.

She took a long time to touch the fish soup that He Kezhou served her.

She was amazed after taking her first sip of the fish soup.

She looked at He Kezhou in disbelief, her eyes shining: "He Kezhou, with your skills, you could open a restaurant."

He Kezhou gazed into her clear, bright eyes, which seemed to hold shattered diamonds, pure and vibrant.

As her eyelashes fluttered gently, the light in her eyes flickered, filled with undisguised amazement and admiration, looking straight into his eyes.

He Kezhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his cold, hard jaw relaxed, and a softness softened in the dark current in his eyes. His voice unconsciously became hoarse: "Drink more if you like."

Ningxi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

She stopped eating and focused on drinking soup.

This meal was the most filling and indulgent one she had eaten all week.

Looking at her slightly protruding belly, she put down the spoon and glanced at the injury on He Kezhou's right palm. "You can leave the bowl here; I'll wash it."

He Kezhou took the bowl and chopsticks in front of her and stacked them on top of his own bowl. "Put them in the sink to soak. We'll use the dishwasher when it arrives tomorrow."

Ning Xi found her phone and asked He Kezhou, "How much did you spend on the air conditioner, water dispenser, and dishwasher?"

Ning Xi nodded at the number He Kezhou mentioned.

I didn't buy it at a high price.

She transferred all the money He Kezhou had given her from her Alipay account to him.

Before she could finish typing the last number, He Kezhou grabbed her wrist.

His hands hung limply, his knuckles clenched white, a muffled, angry breath rising from his throat as he gripped her wrist tightly, his eyes swirling with barely suppressed emotions.

"Are you angry because I bought these things?"

Ning Xi looked at him seriously, "If it's necessary to improve living conditions, then spend the money. I won't get angry about it."

He Kezhou's voice was hoarse from years of practice, and he couldn't hide his tension: "I have money on me."

Ning Xi's wrist was held by him, but her fingertips could still move, and she continued to enter numbers with difficulty.

Sensing the sudden drop in He Kezhou's mood, she didn't back down: "He Kezhou, keep the money you earn to yourself. Having money gives you more confidence in whatever you do."

"Don't overdraft your credit card."

As soon as she finished speaking, his fingertips, which were gripping her wrist to stop the transfer, accidentally brushed against the screen, and a message preview popped up at the top of the screen suddenly caught their eyes.

Rental agent: [Video/]

Rental agent: [Miss, I just saw your message. There's one single room that just became available, matching your requirements. Would you like to take a look? When would be a convenient time to view the room?]

Rental agent: [Do you accept single rooms for mixed-gender tenants?]

Ning Xi wanted to turn off her phone screen immediately, but then realized that He Kezhou had already seen it.

She suppressed her panic, pretended to be calm, looked up at He Kezhou whose expression was unclear and whose face was cold, and explained to him, "My cousin wants to come to Xincheng to work during the summer vacation, and I'm helping her look at houses."

The original owner did have a cousin, but their relationship was not good, and they rarely saw each other.

He Kezhou's heavy eyelashes half-concealed the turbulent melancholy in his eyes, his dark pupils clearly reflecting her feigned composure. His lips remained taut, not uttering a single word of reprisal, he simply gazed at her silently, a layer of barely perceptible panic pressing down in his eyes.

Ning Xi felt a tightness in her heart as he stared at her.

Did He Kezhou realize she was lying?

Ning Xi softened her voice, trying to divert his attention: "Honey~ if you're unhappy, I'll transfer all the money to you. If you want me to continue managing the money, go get your phone and transfer it back to me."

He Kezhou didn't look for his phone; it was in his pocket.

Ning Xi watched him finish transferring the money and sighed inwardly.

On the day I leave, I can secretly transfer it to him; it will be the same.

She was a little angry; why did the rental agency have to send the message now of all times?

Ning Xi knew in her heart that she was taking her anger out on others.

He Kezhou gently stroked Ning Xi's right eyelid with the pad of his thumb. "What kind of single room does your cousin want to rent?"

Ning Xi mentally prepared her speech before speaking, "She wants to find a shared apartment in the city center with only female tenants, with a monthly budget of 1600-1800."

"It would be best if it were closer to my theater, so that someone could take care of it."

She added, "It doesn't matter if the environment is a little worse."

She knew that at this price, it wouldn't be easy to rent a nice single room.

He Kezhou placed his fingertip on Ning Xi's curled eyelashes and clearly felt them tremble slightly.

Because she felt guilty, Ning Xi didn't push away He Kezhou's hand that was playing with her eyelashes.

He Kezhou thought that Ning Xi didn't realize that her unconsciously trembling eyelashes would betray her thoughts when she lied.

He gently pressed his fingertips down, locking onto her calm gaze, and placed his warm palm against her eyes.

With her vision blocked, Ning Xi pressed herself against He Kezhou, hugging his waist and abdomen. "Do you want to tonight? I'm not tired today."

She buried her nose deep in his clothes, savoring his unique, cool scent, her voice soft and sticky, carrying an undisguised hint: "Carry me to take a bath, okay?"
