Chapter 38 Holy crap, it's actually a transmigration story!

The young man with a frail appearance sitting opposite Bai Nuo finally spoke when he felt that it was about time. His voice was a little hoarse and weak, and he said in a somewhat listless tone, "My name is Jiang Zihang. I am from Qian'an County, Jiangsu Province. I am eighteen years old this year. I am also going to Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province for rural work."

After the person opposite finished introducing himself, Bai Nuo waited a few seconds to make sure no one said anything more before speaking up. His voice was soft and childish: "My name is Bai Nuo. I'm from Shanghai. I'm 16 years old this year. My sister has a job as a police officer in my hometown. My brother went to the army. The people at the neighborhood office said that someone in the family had to go to the countryside. I just graduated from high school, so I signed up directly. I'm also going to Kaiyuan City."

This self-introduction was taught to her by her older sister, Ah Chong, in the car. She said that she and her family had come up with it last night. She had to include the fact that her sister was a police officer and her brother was a soldier, so that some people with bad intentions would feel uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the desire to keep a low profile, her sister Ah Chong would have wanted to include all the details: her second uncle was the deputy director of the police station, her eldest uncle worked in the municipal party committee office, her second aunt was the deputy director of the textile factory, and her aunt was the director of the municipal hospital.

As for Ah Chong's sister, the whole family agreed to it anyway, and it was all decided together last night, to support her poor little sister who had finally managed to fix her head.

Bai Nuo didn't want to cause trouble either. After all, they were just ordinary people. If she went easy on them, she would feel frustrated, and if she went too hard, she would easily cause trouble. So, she naturally had to obediently listen to her sister, A Chong.

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful girl next to her turned her head to look at Bai Nuo before speaking herself. Her voice was clear, melodious, and had a touch of aloofness.

“My name is Sun Yuxi, I’m eighteen, from Jiangsu Province, Jiangsu City. I’m also going to Kaiyuan City to work in the countryside.”

Bai Nuo, who had just finished introducing herself and lowered her head slightly again, suddenly opened her eyes wide, her confusion turning into shock.

"A-Tong, come out here. Why does this name sound so familiar, and why does it sound so familiar to the person sitting across from her?"

"Hmm, that sounds familiar too."

A questioning voice from the system followed immediately.

One person, racking their brains to recall everything, suddenly had a flash of inspiration...

Bai Nuo's lips twitched slightly: "I think I remember now, Tong, didn't we not only get born in the wrong time and space, but we also got transported into a book?"

System: "Huh?"

Bai Nuo sighed softly: "Try to remember. In our past life, we were really bored for a while, so we snatched a tattered book from a kid. It seems to be about this era."

"You were the one who took it." Are you trying to take half the blame for this?!

Bai Nuo was being unreasonable—no, she rolled her eyes with an air of self-righteousness.

"What do you mean I stole it myself? Didn't you see?"

"I was wrong, please continue."

"snort!"

Bai Nuo gave a soft hum and then recalled the plot.

"That book tells the story of a young couple who meet on a train to the countryside. Because the female protagonist is gentle and timid, she is bullied by an older woman as soon as she boards the train. In the end, the male protagonist can't stand it and finds the train conductor to resolve the matter. Then, the two are assigned to the same place to go to the countryside. Although life is hard, the male protagonist always protects the female protagonist. Even when a village beauty tries to steal him away, it's no use. The male protagonist remains steadfast in his love for the female protagonist and vows to be devoted to her. Finally, the female protagonist is moved, and the two get married in the countryside. Although their married life is ordinary, they are very happy. A few years later, they both pass the university entrance exam and return to the city. That's the end of the story."

However, I guess their life back in the city must have been quite good. The extra pages were tattered and incomplete, but they mentioned that the male lead became an official and embarked on a political career, and the female lead, as an official's wife, was treated so well by the male lead; she must have been quite happy.

"Holy crap, after hearing what you said, it really is that book." The system was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down and continued, "But it's okay, this is normal. Many books may develop book spirits after they are published. The central system is worried that these wild spirits will cause trouble, so they will merge these books into some relatively peaceful and stable parallel universes."

"Host, let's not concern ourselves with the male and female leads' affairs. Let's just live our own lives. We don't need to worry about any of the people or events in the story. You're not even a character in that book. As long as we stay away from them, we won't get involved in the plot."

“I understand.” Bai Nuo was the type to listen to advice. “We should just watch the show and stay away from the main characters to stay safe. After all, according to the male and female lead rule, they are usually surrounded by all sorts of awful people, or professional troublemakers. I need to stay away. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and end up killing them all. That would be impolite, right?”

"...Yes, you're gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, that's commendable."

The system rolled its eyes speechlessly while sitting in the system space, but also felt a little gratified. Its own child had grown up and learned to recognize itself.

However, just in case...

"I'll download a few more Buddhist scriptures to your tablet in a bit."

"What? You want me to be the Victorious Fighting Buddha? No way! These days, it's forbidden to promote feudal superstition. I'm a good girl who memorized the Red Book. Besides, this is a parallel world without mystery. The important thing is that he's my idol."

"...You'd better watch less Journey to the West from now on!"

"Then what should I watch?"

"...I'll go download the cartoons for you right now."

Anyway, don't always try to imitate that monkey.

"You're not worried about points anymore?" Bai Nuo asked curiously.

You should know that the system needs points to connect to the central wireless network using the system tablet. Normally, you have to throw a tantrum and beg to get this stingy system to download a few more TV series for you, but it's being so generous this time.

The system was indeed very generous this time: "We can afford to spend these points. I'll go and pay them off and connect to the network right away."

"Ah Tong, you're awesome! Remember to download Tom and Jerry and Black Cat Detective. I remember my teacher said those two cartoons were really good, but unfortunately we can't watch TV in this apocalypse, so I haven't watched them. Oh, right, and Sailor Moon too."

...I told you, can't we watch some peaceful cartoons?

However, I can only silently download the system that pampers children; it's better than following the monkey's example and causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Bai Nuo was happily discussing the animated film with her boss with her eyes closed when suddenly a loud shout came from the side.

"Hey, you filthy scoundrel, how dare you rub against my leg in public! I'll beat you to death!"

Bai Nuo suddenly opened her eyes and saw the original female lead, who was originally quiet and aloof, pounce on the original male lead like a hungry tiger.
