Chapter 51: CH 51

After Leng Haochen left, Bai Zhenzhen grabbed Huo Xiang’s arm without saying a word and dragged him back to the hotel room.

“Tell me, what’s going on?” Bai Zhenzhen sat on the sofa with her hands on her hips and questioned Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang hesitated for a while and said hesitantly, “You may not believe it, but I don’t know how this happened.”

He originally thought that Bai Zhenzhen would not remember him like everyone else, but what surprised him was that Bai Zhenzhen’s memory had not been dealt with!

It threw him completely off guard, and he did not know how to answer.

After all, he has not yet made a plan to tell Bai Zhenzhen about his “origin” and everything about the system.

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t believe Huo Xiang’s words.

She still stared at Huo Xiang intently, not wanting to miss the slightest change in his expression.

“You don’t know what happened? Then why did you act so surprised when I recognized you just now?”

“Of course I’m surprised!” Huo Xiang spoke confidently, but his voice was trembling. “As soon as I woke up, I was in a hurry to find you and Grandpa, but I found that everything about Huo’s family had disappeared. So, I went to Su Meng’s company for you, but she didn’t recognize me at all! I thought everyone had forgotten me, so I was so surprised when I saw you recognize me! “

“Why are you surprised by this? Shouldn’t you be surprised first at why everyone else has forgotten you and why the Huo family has disappeared?” Bai Zhenzhen immediately noticed that Huo Xiang was paying attention to something different.

Huo Xiang responded immediately: “I’m surprised too!” I also want to know why!”

After he finished speaking, Huo Xiang turned passive and began to question Bai Zhenzhen again: “What about you? Why does everyone forget me, but you remember me?”

Huo Xiang also asked the system in his mind the same question.

Huo Xiang: “What’s going on? Why does she remember me? Didn’t you say that the previous knight also used this method, but every time the system resets, the heroine will forget everything?”

System: “Sorry, knight, the system can’t give you an answer for the time being. It looks like there is a bug. The system is searching for the problem. Please wait a moment.”

Huo Xiang: “Oh, it’s an exceptional event, but I find it strange!”

Bai Zhenzhen also found it strange, and she answered truthfully: “On the day of the wedding, I fainted somehow, and when I woke up, I was lying in this hotel. I have been looking for you for the past few days, but I found that no one around me remembers you. Even Huo’s family disappeared out of thin air! “

Huo Xiang asked again, “But you remember me? Remember what we have experienced since we met?”

“Yeah!” Bai Zhenzhen nodded and replied, “I thought I had a dream. I didn’t know it was true until you appeared before me just now.”

“So, Huo Xiang, where have you been these few days? What have you done?”

Facing Bai Zhenzhen’s questions again, Huo Xiang still didn’t know how to answer.

Should I tell Bai Zhenzhen the ins and outs of the matter now?

After experiencing the miraculous scene of Huo’s family disappearance, his explanation to Bai Zhenzhen should be acceptable.

However, in this way, Bai Zhenzhen will know that she is only a character in a book, not an actual existence at all! And the life she experienced was just the plot of the book.

This reminded Huo Xiang of “The Truman Show” again.

Last time in Haicheng, he talked to Bai Zhenzhen about this movie.

He still clearly remembered that Bai Zhenzhen said that she sympathized with Truman and that after going through so many twists and turns and unforgettable experiences, in the end, it was all in vain. She also said that if she were Truman, she would collapse.

“Why don’t you talk? What are you hiding from me? Is there anything you can’t tell me?” Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes were covered with a layer of disappointment.

Huo Xiang was worried that she would misunderstand, so he quickly apologized and said, “You misunderstood. I had been thinking about the situation just now, and I wanted to see where the problem lies, so I got distracted just now.”

“Then tell me, what have you experienced since the day of the wedding?”

Huo Xiang was silent for a few seconds and replied calmly: “On the morning of the wedding day, I was going to pick you up, but for some reason, I became a little dizzy. I fainted when I changed the dress. When I woke up, I found myself on a barren hill. “

“On the hill?!”

“Well… It took me a few days to find the way down the mountain. As soon as I got back to the city, I went to Su Meng’s company to find you. But when I arrived, I realized that everything had changed! The Huo family does not exist, and Su Meng doesn’t remember me anymore. I was afraid you were the same, so I dared not approach you rashly, so I waited secretly in the hotel’s lobby.

“But how do you know that I live in this hotel?” Bai Zhenzhen continued to ask questions.

“That’s because I’ve been to this hotel with you, so I came to this hotel to try my luck.”

“Then why didn’t you call me and ask me directly?”

“Didn’t I just say that I found that Su Meng doesn’t remember me, and I couldn’t find any news about the Huo family on the Internet? I was afraid that if I called you directly, you would misunderstand and think that I was an unruly person. That’s why I want to get close to you first and then observe the situation. “

Bai Zhenzhen folded her arms, looked straight at Huo Xiang, and repeated his words: “You said you’d met Su Meng, and then you were afraid that I would not remember you like Su Meng, so you didn’t dare to call me?”

“Yes!” Huo Xiang answered without thinking.

“You’re lying!” Bai Zhenzhen did not hesitate to expose the loopholes in Huo Xiang’s words. “After you woke up, you didn’t know that everyone doesn’t remember you, and the first thing you would have done after returning to the city is to call me, not to go to Su Meng’s company to find me, right?”

Huo Xiang swallowed nervously and replied, “I didn’t think about calling at that time! And my cell phone was gone! I happened to be near the mix company at that time, so I went over there!”

“You sure?”

“I’m sure!” Huo Xiang nodded solemnly and asked again, “Could it be that you think that I arranged it all? I don’t have special abilities. Besides, even if I wanted to erase the traces of a family in this world, I would choose Leng Haochen’s family! Why should I attack my own family? “

Huo Xiang felt that this was enough to prove his “innocence”.

And Leng Haochen, who was hit by Bai Zhenzhen just now, sneezed a few times before he recovered his senses.

Bai Zhenzhen’s face did not ease much; she continued to ask, “Huo Xiang, I’ll ask you again; you don’t know anything?”

Huo Xiang nodded. “I don’t know.”

“There’s no way you don’t know.” Bai Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes. “On the day of the wedding, the Huo family manor was still there, and I met Grandpa and Uncle Cai. They told me that just before the wedding, my bridegroom disappeared!”

“But you just told me that on the wedding day, you changed your dress, were preparing to pick me up, and then passed out—but you were not at Huo’s house the night before the wedding!”

“So, you lied. You disappeared first, and the Huo family disappeared later, so this matter must be related to you. Even if you didn’t cause all this, at least you know some inside information!”

After saying these words, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly got up from the bed, pointed at Huo Xiang, and shouted sharply, “Huo Xiang, who are you? What are you trying to hide by doing this?”

Huo Xiang sweated all by himself.

Sure enough, if you tell a lie, you need to use several lies to cover it up, but paper can’t cover the fire, and no matter how smart a person is, sooner or later his truth will be revealed.

And this time, the only one who saw the truth was the heroine, who seems innocent and harmless but whose wisdom is not ordinary—Bai Zhenzhen!

“Bai Zhenzhen, tell me the truth; you majored in criminal investigation, right? Your judgment ability is comparable to Edogawa Conan!” Huo Xiang sighed.

Don’t be afraid that you have too many loopholes or that your opponent is too powerful.

Bai Zhenzhen also admired herself very much, and after being praised by Huo Xiang, she also felt proud of herself. She said in a little ecstasy, “What criminal investigation? I studied accounting, okay!”

Huo Xiang was taken aback: “Have you studied accounting? Didn’t you drop out of high school?”

Bai Zhenzhen knew that she had slipped her tongue and didn’t want to stay on this topic any longer.

She looked sullen. “Don’t talk nonsense! You answer my question quickly; otherwise, I’ll call the police and arrest you!”

Huo Xiang shrugged and responded to Bai Zhenzhen with what the system had told him: “The police here can’t handle these things.”

Bai Zhenzhen clenched her fists and said, “You’re quite arrogant!”

After she finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone as a gesture. She didn’t want to call the police, but the whole thing was very unbelievable, and neither she nor the system could explain it, so she could only find clues from Huo Xiang.

Bai Zhenzhen’s aggressive gesture made Huo Xiang surrender.

“Wait!”

Huo Xiang grabbed her wrist, swallowed his words, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he made up his mind, exhaled slowly, and said quietly, “Since you haven’t forgotten me, if I don’t tell you the truth, you will not give up.”

“It’s good to know.” Bai Zhenzhen was calm on the surface, but in fact, she was already full of curiosity in her heart.

“This matter started two months ago. It was a sunny and windy day. On that day, I just came to this world.”

Bai Zhen was astonished and said, “What, what?!”

Huo Xiang was still serious: “I mean, I came to this world; I was not born into this world. I am not from this world.”

I’ll be honest with you; it’s my first time making a website and translating a novel. So there will be many mistakes, and you are more than welcome to tell me about them; I’ll correct them. I’m still learning about this website thing, so it might be difficult for the time being, but it will improve with time. I have no plugins for the website, so it’s difficult because it’s a free website and I’m broke. I hope you understand my difficulties.
