The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 15 Part 1: Lucky Audience

After the enthusiastic opening dance, a host and a hostess, both dressed in red, came to the stage to introduce the guests.

Bai Zhen Zhen's inquisitive eyes were sticking to Xi Xixi's figure, wondering whether he would stay for a while on stage after the performance, so that he might come across her "PDA".

Huo Xiang frowned tightly, somewhat unhappy.

"Your boyfriend is still breathing right next to you, where are your little eyes staring at so lustfully?" He reprimanded.

Bai Zhen Zhen came back to reality and asked: "They're all superstars, what's wrong with me being smitten?"

Huo Xiang pretended to seize her up, then sneered at Bai Zhen Zhen: "How old are you, still chasing after stars like a little girl? They're all younger than you, you have no chance. Besides, don't be casually attracted to these celebrities, they are all facade! Everything is different from your fantasies!"

"Are you worried?" Bai Zhen Zhen squinted her eyes, "not bad ah, Xiao Huo, you're really deep into character!"

"I am worried! I'm afraid you'll be fascinated by beauty and delay our business today!" Huo Xiang replied unhappily, then added, "and I reiterate, don't change the way you call me as you please..."

Bai Zhen Zhen didn't say anything else and began to attentively watch the movement on the stage. After the introduction of the guests, the ribbon-cutting ceremony would take place, and her time to shine was about to arrive.

Huo Xiang sank into deep contemplation as he stared at Bai Zhen Zhen.

A moment ago, when the fresh meat band came on stage, his eyes subconsciously fell on one of them. At that moment, the system suddenly issued a warning.

---System: "Warning, warning, the third male lead of the book, Xi Xixi, has been identified."

This kind of warning had also been issued in the restaurant, when he met Jiang Muyang, as well as in the hospital with Leng Hao Chen. This kind of warning only sounded when key characters related to his mission appeared.

Huo Xiang's mission was to rescue the protagonist of the book. Right now, he was inside the world of a book.

Half a month ago, as he was walking perfectly alright on the street, suddenly the space under his feet disappeared, and his eyes went black. When he woke up, he found himself in this so-called "book world" lying in a hospital bed.

Then the system bound to him popped up.

---System: "Ding! Congratulations on successfully binding to the 'saving the tragic heroine' system! From now on, you are a glorious knight across time and space, your code is: 9938."

Huo Xiang: ???

---System: "This system is a mission-type system. Once bound, it can only unbind if the mission is completed successfully. Every knight must enter a randomly-assigned book world, and must do his utmost to love the female protagonist dearly and protect her from harm. Furthermore, he needs to accumulate 100 happiness points from the heroine in order to return to the real world. During this period of time, the system will issue..."

---Huo Xiang: "Wait a minute, let me interrupt, what you're trying to say is, I am now in a fictitious world that doesn't exist at all?!"

---System: "So to speak. But this world has been meticulously built by the novel's author, and it has been recreated with 100% accuracy. Anything you feel and experience will be real. In addition, the system reminds you that one day in the book world is equivalent to only one minute in the real world."

---Huo Xiang: "According to what you just said, if I don't accumulate enough happiness points, I can't go back?!"

---System: "That's right, knight."

---Huo Xiang: "Can I report you to the police?"

---System: "You can try it. But the police in the book world can't bring you back to the real world."

---Huo Xiang: "...please continue to explain the mission."

Footnotes:

1: 9938 could be read as 'perpetual idiot'. 38 is internet slang for fool or idiot; and 99 appears to be 久久 - long lasting, as in forever love, for example. My thanks to Nopenopenope for telling me^^.
