The Random Pa.s.serby I Married Is The Richest Man! Chapter 5 Part 1: Free Snacks

Bai Zhen Zhen helped her dad sit down on the hospital bed. When she turned around, she found that the man was still standing at the door.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Zhen Zhen asked with distrust.

She regretted it as soon as she asked. The other was a fool, so he probably couldn't understand her.

Yang Suping mumbled in a low voice, "I'm afraid he wants to get some benefits…"

Huo Xiang entered the ward, sat down on the hospital bed next to the door, and pointed at the card inserted at the bedhead.

"I am staying in this ward."

Bai Zhen Zhen froze.

Such coincidence?!

She curiously stepped forward and shot a glance at the information on the card.

"Huo Xiang, male, 25 years."

Hey, just because it was a pa.s.serby, could his name be so casual?1

Huo Xiang, his family should not sell air fresheners, right?!

"Lad, thanks a lot for just now!" Father Bai was clearly very excited. "To be living in the same ward, it's really fate! Say, what do you have?"

Huo Xiang pursed his lips in a smile: "It's nothing serious, just a headache."

Bai Zhen Zhen sighed in her heart. Sure enough, he had a problem in his brain.

Father Bai  was very enthusiastic about Huo Xiang who had helped him, so he started introducing himself to him.

"My surname is Bai, you can just call me uncle Bai. She is my wife, surnamed Yang. These two are my girls, the older sister is Zhen Zhen and the younger sister is Mengru."

Huo Xiang nodded in response: "Uncle Bai, Aunt Yang, my name is Huo Xiang, Huo as in Huo Yuanjia2, and Xiang as in fragrance."

When Yang Suping heard the name, she said with a laugh: "A boy called with the Xiang of 'fragrance'?! That's too much…"

Halfway through, she noticed both Father Bai and Bai Zhen Zhen looking at her coldly, and she immediately swallowed her following words.

Huo Xiang didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Aunt, in fact, there are many handsome guys whose name contains the character 'Xiang', like… Chu Liuxiang3."

Bai Zhen Zhen glanced at Huo Xiang. She didn't expect that the people in the book also read novels ah. Unexpectedly, this pa.s.serby even knew oh Gu Long's

.

"Hi, Zhen Zhen." Huo Xiang suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Zhen Zhen, and greeted her earnestly. This unexpected greeting made Bai Zhen Zhen feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"Hi." She smiled perfunctorily.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Huo Xiang continued. "We met in the corridor just a moment ago, do you remember?"

"Oh, so that person is you ah, no wonder you looked so familiar."

Because she was lying, Bai Zhen Zhen s.h.i.+fted her sight with guilty conscience. She recalled Huo Xiang's expression when looking at her the two times, plus striking a conversation so cordially just a moment ago, and in her heart she always felt it was weird.

Don't tell her…

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "System, are you sure that this person in front of me is not one of the main characters of the book?"

—System: "Host, the system has not recognized a main character at present."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Then, in case it's not one of the main characters, do other pa.s.sersby and the like… do they also like me ah?"

—System: "Host, your character is set to be 'attractive'4, if you accidentally break into the lives of pa.s.serby characters, it is very likely that they will also feel attracted to you."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Okay… I guess…"

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Zhen Zhen finally understood the meaning of the sentence "to be born with natural beauty."

"Xiao5Huo ah, where are you from? You're by yourself in the hospital, are you're relatives not coming to visit you?" Father Bai asked.

Huo Xiang said: "I'm an orphan."

"An orphan in addition to that name?" Yang Suping asked in reply to Huo Xiang.

Yang Suping is such an idiot.

Footnotes:

1: His name 霍香 means something like 'sudden perfume' or 'fragrance', since his first name Xiang uses the kanji for fragrance 香气 (xiāngqì). Not the name you'd use for a boy, I guess…

2: 霍元甲Huo Yanjia was a martial artist considered a hero for defeating foreign fighters. His life has been adapted into films and television series, depicted as a heroic martial artist that upholds the dignity of Chinese people in the face of foreign aggression. Source: Wikipedia.

3: Chu Liuxiang (楚留香) is the fictional protagonist of the wuxia novel series Chu Liuxiang Series, written by Gu Long. He is a Robin Hood that upholds justice in the jianghu, considered one of the best martial artists.  His name means 'lingering fragrance'. The series has 8 novels and many film and series adaptations and some games as well. Source: Wikipedia.

4: Here it uses 万人迷 which was also used in the t.i.tle of the book ( 娇爱万人迷：蚀骨总裁轻点宠). I translated this first part of the t.i.tle as 'Lovable Lady', but 万人迷 actually means something like 'attracting ten thousand people', or being idolized by many people, having many admirers… you get the idea. In short, her character is set to make everyone fall for her (it's a Mary Sue novel after all…).

5: Xiao (小) - Xiao means 'little', Xiao is used before a name in order to express closeness or intimacy. Frequently used with loved ones, family and children/younger people, specially with females.
