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

When Lu Zao Zao dreamed of this face, he was suddenly awakened. His throat tightened, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and he was breathing heavily.

The water in the drip was almost finished, and the nurse came over to check on her, removed the needle for her, and told her to come back tomorrow.

Lu Zao Zao nodded to show that he understood. While covering his hand with the patch to suppress the blood, he unconsciously thought about the nonsensical dream he had just had.

how come?

Why did I dream about him?

I couldn't figure it out and finally could only attribute it to my own subconscious mind.

She walked along the wall while thinking, and did not pay any attention to the situation in front of her. When she noticed a pair of feet appear in front of her, it was too late. The two of them bumped into each other unexpectedly, and two "excuse me" rang out at the same time.

Lu looked up early and saw a face covered with bruises and scars. There was a scab on the brow bone, but even so it could not hide the gloomy and handsome temperament. There was a faint smell of blood on his body, and his figure was tall and straight.

After saying sorry, the other party left. Lu Zao Zao saw his washed-out jeans and shoes, and looked at the words on the overly conspicuous white screen above his head - male protagonist so-and-so, followed by a few words of introduction. He always felt that it was a bit familiar.

But my mind was still confused because of the fever and the person in the dream, and I couldn't remember where I had seen him.

After all, she was someone who had nothing to do with him, so Lu Zaozao didn't plan to reminisce about her too much.

After several days of intravenous drip, Lu Zaozhao's cold and fever were almost recovered. Aunt Li got a bunch of mugwort leaves and gave her a bath and feet soak, saying that it was to remove the moisture from her body.

After school started, the ordinary days passed very quickly and the weather gradually warmed up.

At the beginning of May, it was Li Jianan’s birthday, which happened to coincide with the long Labor Day holiday.

Li Jianan read from somewhere last time that as long as someone is willing to fold 520 paper cranes for him, all his wishes for the year can come true and he will have good luck. Li Jianan stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, looking very yearning.

Lu Zao Zao had already bought colored paper cards in mid-April and started folding these 520 paper cranes.

However, her craftsmanship was not very good. Many of the things she folded were crooked and not very pretty. Only after folding them more often did she become more proficient and slowly they became more presentable.

Coming to the small garden, Lu put the glass jar on the rattan chair, sat on the grass early, and began to fold the paper cranes delicately and carefully.

In the bright and glorious day, Lu Zao Zao recalled this time last year, and it felt like a lifetime ago, as if he were in a trance. The wind blew over, and the paper cranes in the glass bottle were bathed in the sun, occasionally being blown by the wind to spin and swing in the bottle a few times.

It was almost noon when Aunt Li came over and handed her a plate of cut fruit. She smiled and asked, "Miss, who are you folding this for?"

"To a friend."

"Miss, have you made good friends at school? That's great."

"Yes." Lu Zao Zao folded another one, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth. "It's a birthday for a very good and lovely friend of mine. She is going to have a birthday soon. This is the birthday present I plan to give her."

She should still be a very lively friend. Maybe influenced by her, Lu Zao Zao mentioned her and talked more. Auntie touched her hair and was happy with her. "Miss, remember to come back for dinner in half an hour. I also made your favorite soup."

"Okay, I got it." Lu Zao Zao didn't stop moving her hands. "Thank you, Auntie."

After folding for a while, Lu Zao Zao looked at her watch. It was almost time, so she put the things away.

She had been sitting cross-legged on the ground for too long, and her legs felt numb the moment she stood up. She almost fell down, so she sat down again and massaged her legs.

There was a car horn outside the house, and soon the car drove in and people got out. Every holiday, the family would go out to play or go to a villa by the bamboo forest and stream to have dinner with other elders in the family. There has been no exception for so many years.

But generally Lu Zaozao is not brought along.

The last time they saw each other was during the New Year, but Lu Zaozao didn't care about it at all.

The day after tomorrow is Li Jianan’s birthday. Lu had been thinking about the plan in his mind early on. If he folds a little more in the afternoon, he should be done.

When I go out tomorrow, buy some beautiful wrapping paper and gift boxes, wrap these paper cranes, and put a birthday card in them.

I wonder what Li Jianan’s expression would be when he sees this, but he must be very excited.

Lu Zaozao's mood at the moment was not affected by them. Her legs had recovered. Lu Zaozao stood up, holding the glass jar with a stack of paper cranes in front of her chest, and walked in the opposite direction of them.

The white glass reflected the sunlight, and the strong, direct light spots and colored papers fell into Lu Qingwan's eyes, dazzling her eyes and making her angry for no reason.

"What are you looking at?"

"Who do you think that jar of paper cranes was made for?"

"Who knows." Following her gaze, Lu Shiqing looked over and said casually, "Maybe it's someone he likes."

Lu Qingwan retracted her gaze and sneered disdainfully, "The person you like? Is she worthy?" She repeated, "Is she worthy?"

Lu Shiqing raised his hand and touched Lu Qingwan's hair, and said gently, "You are still young, don't worry about these things for now."

The cold string of the Buddhist beads in his hand brushed against Lu Qingwan's ears. Her gaze stayed on the beads for a second, and she turned her head away, expressionless, without saying a word.

On the afternoon of the third day, Li Jianan came to the street corner not far from Lu Zaozao's home to wait for her as usual. It was not known whether he noticed something or for other reasons, but every time she went out to play, Li Jianan would come to pick her up and make sure Lu Zaozao was okay.

Seeing the thousands of paper cranes, Li Jianan was as happy as expected and hugged Lu Zaozao.

"Oh my god, why would you think of giving me this?"

"Last time I saw you staring at that picture for a long time, I thought about making it for you."

"Did it take a long time?"

"It's okay. It didn't take long. As long as you like it."

"Hehe." Li Jianan patted the paper bag containing the gift and said in a very exaggerated tone: "Of course, I like it very much."

The setting sun filled the sky, the clouds looked like floating mist, the birds flapped their wings and glided into the sky, their feathers fluttering off.

Soon it was about to get dark. Li Jianan came out of the mall and sent Lu Zao Zao to the street to take a taxi.

After Li Jianan looked around for the third time, Lu Zaozao couldn't help but remind him, "Remember to look at the road, don't just keep looking around."

"I'm not blind. I always feel that someone is watching us for some unknown reason."

"You also know it's inexplicable." Lu Zao Zao was a little amused, "There are so many people coming and going in the mall, who would pay special attention to us."

"Okay, that's right." Li Jianan scratched his head and said jokingly, "Maybe the gift you gave me is too precious, so I always suspect someone is trying to steal it."

"..."

After a brief silence, Lu Zao Zao smiled and said, "Except for you, there is probably no one else in the world who would take this gift seriously."

"how come!"

The taxi had already stopped by the roadside. Lu Zao Zao did not argue with her about whether it would happen or not. She just smiled and said, "Okay, go back quickly. Your uncle and aunt are waiting to celebrate your birthday in the evening."

The taxi outside could not drive into the villa and had already stopped on the main road outside the villa. Lu Zao Zao walked all the way up, and halfway through, a black Bentley sped past her.

The car window was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap. Lu Zao Zao saw Lu Qingwan lying in the back seat tiredly, and it seemed that she was resting with her eyes closed.
