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

On New Year's Eve, everywhere is bustling with activity. It is the most traditional and grand festival of the year. A festive and peaceful atmosphere sweeps every street, with bright lights and deafening firecrackers.

It is destined to be a lively reunion night.

At the same time, in the afternoon, Lu was told by the housekeeper that he would have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner alone.

Without any resistance or questioning, Lu Zao Zao accepted this reality very calmly and calmly.

Aunt Wu, who had been taking care of her, had taken leave a few days ago to go home for the New Year. The Lu family hired a temporary nanny who was familiar with Lu Zaozao's taste and living habits, and prepared a sumptuous and luxurious New Year's Eve dinner for Lu Zaozao on that day.

When she was one-third done, Lu Zao Zao, who came downstairs to drink water, urgently stopped her. Not to mention that she could eat it all by herself, even if five people came, they would not be able to finish so much food.

But the newly hired aunt was particularly stubborn, as if her cooking skills could not be demonstrated unless she made a whole table of dishes today.

After much persuasion from Lu Zaozao, the number of dishes that were originally to be prepared was finally reduced to half. The auntie was very skilled and quickly brought out a table full of sumptuous dishes and nutritious soup that had been simmered for a long time. She also cut the fruits and arranged them exquisitely, placing them neatly on the table.

Lu sat down at the large table early and started eating alone.

Looking around, the lights are bright and the space is large, but there is no one there. The auntie left after preparing the meal. I guess she will come back to clean up after she finishes eating.

Outside, firecrackers continued to pop, and soon, there was the sound of fireworks igniting into the sky, which was particularly eye-catching in this lonely deep space.

Lu Zao Zao quietly ate his meal, thinking in confusion -

How come the Lu family has become even more disgusted with her in this new life? It's fine to move to another place, after all, it doesn't matter where you live.

Now even the New Year’s Eve dinner cannot be served.

Could it be that because of the last time I ran up to Lu Aotian and told him about changing schools, and even argued with Shen Xingyao, things developed uncontrollably to the current point?

For an unloved cannon fodder child in a wealthy family, if he cannot even behave in the most basic way, being abandoned and hated is the inevitable result.

Even though he understood and figured out the reasons, Lu Zaozao didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, nor did he feel that there was anything to regret.

After changing shifts, I escaped from my previous place, met new classmates, and made friends like Li Jianan.

Even if everyone lives an ordinary life like an ant, like the NPCs produced wholesale in the game program, destined to not have a colorful life like the protagonist, and always unable to escape the pull and shackles of fate, but so what?

At least, life is happy now.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his decision was correct. Lu Zao Zao even ate his rice harder.

After the meal, the aunt did not show up, so Lu prepared to clean the table himself.

Just as she put down the dishes, her aunt came in from the door. After cleaning up everything quickly and neatly, she smiled and asked Lu Zaozao if she had any other instructions. Lu Zaozao shook her head.

Auntie looked at Lu Zaozao earnestly and told him to remember to call her if anything happened. Lu Zaozao nodded.

When he went upstairs, the sound of fireworks had not stopped yet. Lu was ready to ask the housekeeper if there were any extra fireworks in the villa and whether he could have some.

If that doesn't work, I'll just go out and buy some myself, but I don't know if the nearby stores are still open right now.

Just as she was thinking about some random things, there was a sudden loud noise downstairs. Lu Zao Zao was startled by the noise. She opened the window and saw dazzling fireworks exploding in the sky above her head, one cluster after another, like a layer of phantom made of gold and silver.

Lu Zaozao stared at the fireworks above his head in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, the fireworks finally stopped.

She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of Lu Qingwan's cold and graceful half profile in the light.

A few minutes later, the housekeeper moved several large boxes of fireworks and various small firework sticks to the wide lawn, but Lu Qingwan seemed to have no interest.

The housekeeper started setting off the fireworks again. Lu Qingwan only looked up occasionally and then lowered her head again.

How could Lu Qingwan, who was carefree, innocent and happy when she was a child, suddenly grow up to be a melancholy and worried adult who seemed to be hiding many things?

Lu Zao Zao couldn't understand it, and felt vaguely sad for his favorite sister.

But as I am now, I don't seem to have any right to feel bad for others.

Lu Qingwan was two years younger than her. She skipped a grade in both junior high and high school, and later took the college entrance examination together with Lu Zaozao.

When the college entrance examination results came out, the two people's scores were completely different. Lu Zaozao hastily went to an ordinary undergraduate school, while Lu Qingwan's school was in the same city as hers, an enviable key university, so the difference was not too far away.

Lu Zaozao had run into Lu Qingwan a few times when she went out to eat with her roommates, but in such a crowded crowd, no one would recognize these two faces as sisters.

However, Lu Qingwan went abroad during her sophomore year. Lu remembered that she seemed to have fallen ill that year. She was in a daze and had a fever for several days, as if she had been burned by fire. When she woke up, her throat was hoarse and she could vaguely hear people talking, but she only caught words like life and death.

Lu Zao Zao felt very uncomfortable. When he woke up from his dream, his brain was working slowly. He had a high fever for a long time, and even his eyeballs were very dry and painful. His bones made crackling sounds when he moved. If you didn't know better, you would think he was run over by a car.

I don’t know why, but every time I get sick I have dreams for a long time, and they are all nightmares, and the endings are never good.

I have had beautiful dreams, but they were too short, almost fleeting, and they were all when I was a child. When I grew up, the dreams became fragmented and weird, and the people in the dreams were almost always standing by and watching.

Also that year, she saw news about someone on a piece of news that was pushed to her by chance. It was a photo of him and a girl from their backs, one as tall as a tree, the other with a pretty figure. There were also a few blurry side profile photos. The light was dim, but even so, it was not difficult to guess that the two had excellent looks, and under the reflection of a bright moon, they looked so well-matched.

The author's title and content are both very ambiguous. The love between the boy and girl sprouts in the dark night, and the ending must be as happy as in fairy tales and romance novels.

Lu exited the page early, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and thought, they are all living happily, which is good.

Maybe happiness has a certain share and quantity, so it should be given priority to excellent, intelligent and beautiful people. People like her are destined to be given later. If it is distributed all over, it will be gone.

What remains are pain, neglect and illness.
