My whole family is the protagonist, and I am the only cannon fodder!

Everything seemed like a scene in a dream. The lights were bright, illuminating every corner. The body, face, and expression were all exposed in the light.

But even in her past dreams, Lu Zaozao could not guarantee that she had such courage, because she had had too many nightmares, and in her dreams she was always cramped, uneasy, panic-stricken, and trembling with fear, as if a ferocious beast was ready to open its bloody mouth and swallow her at any time.

But not at the moment. It was difficult for Lu Zao Zao to feel such fear. Coming here in the deep rainy night, he instead possessed a calm strength.

Although she held an umbrella, the loud wind outside, accompanied by the urgent and heavy rain, still soaked almost half of her clothes. The wet clothes stuck to her skin like a fine net wrapped around her.

Hearing the sound, everyone in the room instantly focused their attention on the entrance, looking at her with different expressions.

The lights were bright and hot, but like the black muzzle of a gun, and the gazes were like hard bullets. Lu Zao Zao felt that these gazes were glued to her, as if she had suddenly become a suspect in the interrogation room, being judged by those bright and majestic people.

She was judged so late at night that she had no self-awareness and was completely sinful.

Under such gazes, Lu Zaozao remained extremely calm and walked step by step towards the group of people standing in the light.

When he got closer, he hadn't even had time to say a word he wanted to ask, but was instead accused by Shen Xingyao, "You didn't even go to your brother and sister's birthday party? Now you're running here soaking wet, what on earth do you want to do?"

It really sounded like a question, Lu Zao Zao thought calmly and indifferently, then said word by word in a gentle manner:

"What difference does it make whether I go or not? He will most likely be hiding in a dark corner and won't be exposed to outsiders. Not going will also help you avoid trouble. After all, every meeting is not too pleasant. It's better to have less trouble between us. It's better for everyone."

"What do you think, Mom?"

The calm question made Shen Xingyao fall silent, which was unusual for him. His chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he couldn't breathe smoothly. His face was as cold as iron, and his voice became even colder. "Don't talk to me in that tone! I haven't seen you for a few months. Who told you to become like this?"

Shen Xingyao suddenly became stern and angry, as if the uncontrollable anger and collapse were about to burst through his chest and turned into substance, rushing towards Lu Zaozao.

But Lu Zaozao just looked at her silently. No one taught her. After all, she was a child left to fend for herself.

Before he completely lost control, Lu Aotian had already stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Xingyao, frowning and looking at Lu Zaozao with unquestionable majesty, as if he were an alien invader with malicious intentions.

After his eyes swept over her body, they finally stopped at her wrist. He quickly lifted the sleeve of Lu Zaozao's left wrist, revealing a layer of white gauze that was also wet by the rain.

When his cuffs were opened in public like this, Lu Zaozao's heart beat faster for just a second, but soon calmed down. He looked calmly at the various scars on his forearm, which had been wrapped with gauze just over an hour ago, and a not-so-conspicuous band-aid on the skin near the wrist bone.

After just a second, she looked away, as if it was some insignificant matter.

Lu Aotian's tone was very calm, and his face had a kind of intimidating look, as if he would kill someone with a knife in the next second without any expression, "How did it happen? When?"

"I made it myself."

After she finished speaking, she took off her sleeves. There seemed to be only silence in the air. Lu Zao Zao covered her face and coughed lightly. Her throat was uncomfortable. She guessed that she had been running back and forth, injured and caught in the rain. She would probably catch a cold. In a worse situation, she might even have a fever. Fumigating with moxa leaves and drinking a cup of cold medicine tonight might help prevent it.

Lu Zao Zao was still thinking about the cold, when he suddenly heard him ask, "Why?"

why?

Maybe it was because she wanted to look more decent. There were so many times when she was not sober and did stupid things, so many that she felt annoyed. She just wanted to make herself less embarrassed.

But it was impossible for Lu Zaozao to tell them what she was thinking. Telling them these real but somewhat ridiculous reasons would only make her look boring. Lu Zaozao swallowed the itch in her throat and shook her head calmly.

"I don't know, maybe I'm just being stupid again," she said. "I have a lot of moments like this."

Lu Zaozao ignored Lu Aotian's gaze and looked at the people behind him.

Shen Xiyan lowered his head, seemingly not intending to raise it, and definitely not even giving her a glance. Lu Shiqing and Shen Huaijin just sat there, one leaning on the sofa, stroking his Buddhist beads, not knowing what he was thinking. The other propped up his chin with his hand, occasionally glancing and listening, as if he didn't care much about what had happened or what was about to happen.

Only Lu Qingwan just watched quietly, her face calm and emotionless, except for her eyes, which were as cold as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Didn't I tell you not to step into here again?" Lu Aotian's tone was a very stern statement.

"I don't want to come either."

Lu Zao Zao said this, and even smiled helplessly, but soon stopped, looking straight at Lu Aotian, then turned around, and his dark eyes scanned everyone present, "It just so happens that you are all at home today. After all, such moments are very rare, so I feel that it is very necessary for me to come here."

"What are you doing here? What do you want to do?" It was Shen Xingyao's voice, coming from behind Lu Aotian, with a chilling chill.

"I want to ask a few questions that really puzzle me." Lu Zao Zao answered her, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still have no clue. But there are so many of you here, maybe someone knows. Let's take a gamble."

"what?"

Thunder rumbled in the sky with a dull thud, and the violent storm hit the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a bang. At this moment, a thunder rolled across the sky and struck down mercilessly.

With a loud bang, like a bright blade that has been wiped clean, the reflected light shines brightly on the faces of several people, revealing all their expressions, leaving nothing to hide.

Lu stood still early in the morning, speaking word by word.

"I want to ask about the part of my memory that I lost before I was fifteen. Also, who among you still remembers what I looked like when I died?"
