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

For a whole week, Li Jianan maintained an extremely serious attitude while reading and doing exercises.

Whenever I encountered something I didn't know how to do, I would basically calm down and think about it myself. Only when I really didn't understand would I ask Lu Zaozao for help, and then Lu Zaozao would patiently teach me step by step.

"Oh, I understand, Zao Zao, you are amazing." Li Jianan expressed her approval. Looking at the slightly complicated exercises, she asked in confusion, "That's so strange, Zao Zao."

I thought there was something she didn't understand again, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No." Li Jianan pressed the pen cap against her cheek, squeezing out a small dimple. "Look, you obviously know all these, so why are your grades always so embarrassing when it comes to exams? Sometimes they're even terrible."

She didn't expect Li Jianan to ask this suddenly, and she was stunned for a second.

It is impossible to tell her such a ridiculous reason that I am a cannon fodder and therefore it is impossible for me to have a good life and good grades. Few people would believe it if I told her. They would probably think that it was a lie made up by her because she was hysterical.

Lu Zaozao simply made up a fairly reliable excuse and tried to get away with it.

"Maybe I get nervous when it comes to exams. I've been like this since I was a kid, so I'm used to it."

So that's how it is. But Li Jianan was obviously more worried. She held Lu Zaozao's wrist and said, "What should we do? This won't do. If every exam is like this, no one will know the results of your hard work."

Looking at Li Jianan's expression, he knew that she was really worried about this matter. Lu Zaozao patted the back of her hand and began to comfort her.

"It's okay, I will try my best to overcome it." -

In fact, there is no need to work hard to overcome it. Just bear the pain, just like you did when you took the high school entrance exam.

I just don't know if biting my wrist with my teeth will help me sober up a little at this time. Maybe after what happened last time, this behavior will only shorten the time I stay awake. Maybe using a more painful method can relieve the pain.

The semester ended quickly. When the chirping of cicadas outside the window once again drowned out the sound of the air conditioner, Lu Zaozao looked at Li Jianan who was reading with his head down, and felt that it would be better to get a preventive measure in advance.

"An'an."

"what happened?"

Lu Zao Zao said: "You have studied very hard recently, and you will definitely do well in the exam, but I am afraid that I will not be able to perform very well. We should not be able to sit at the same table in the same class."

Li Jianan exclaimed, and suddenly remembered that there were so many exams, big and small, in this year, and it seemed that she was unable to adjust to Lu Zao Zao's nervousness whenever she faced an exam. It seemed that this was really something that could not be forced.

So I had to say with some worry: "It's okay, at worst you can apply for a class change. Just do your best in the exam."

"Okay." Lu Zao Zao patted her arm, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Outside the window, the camphor tree stood quietly, casting mottled shadows. Spots of light shone on Lu Zaozao's arms and half of her face. He had finished one-third of the test paper, but he didn't seem as tired and drowsy as before. He could overcome the fatigue a little by pinching and biting himself a few times. At least he managed to finish it hastily.

However, I didn’t seem to be so lucky in the last two games, and a familiar feeling surged.

Thinking back to the message he sent to Li Jianan last night, the other party performed quite well. Lu Zao Zao took out a small blade from his pocket. The blade was very sharp and could easily cut through the flesh, causing blood to gush out.

After finishing all the exams, Lu Zao Zao wiped the dried blood around his wrist with a wet wipe, dealt with it simply, and put on a Band-Aid.

Lu Zaozao is actually a person who is very afraid of pain, and pain is nothing but torture to her.

But I make mistakes often and get hurt often. In order to avoid causing trouble to others and to prevent others from hating me, I have learned to be patient over time.

Besides, if a little pain can bring you the result you want, it would be a good thing.

After the exams, summer vacation began. As the long and hot vacation arrived, Lu Zao Zao was even a little dazed.

I can't believe that a year has passed by so easily.

Life was uneventful. Apart from some minor bumps and bruises and occasional slight fever and cold, I didn't get sick or injured much. I was really thankful to God and also to myself.

The school released scores and arranged classes very quickly, and the two had similar scores, so they were naturally placed in the same class.

When they were out playing, Li Jianan saw the wound on Lu Zaozao's wrist and hurriedly asked what happened. Lu Zaozao just said that he accidentally scratched himself with a fruit knife while cutting fruit.

Seeing Li Jianan's half-believing and half-doubting eyes, Lu Zaozao had to explain in detail how he was scratched by a fruit knife. His story sounded convincing, but there were some loopholes.

Fortunately, Li Jianan was a careless person and let the incident slip away.

Lu Qingwan just finished her high school entrance exam this summer. If her junior high school hadn't had a clear rule not to skip two grades, Lu Qingwan would most likely have graduated from junior high school with her, and then gone to high school with her, and then quickly skipped a grade to take the college entrance exam, pressing the accelerator key of life and living without any burden or worry.

Shen Huaijin and Shen Xiyan also finished the college entrance examination, and their scores were unsurprisingly high.

Sometimes when Lu Zaozao passed by the school bulletin board, she would often see Shen Xiyan's name on it. Every time, she was almost unsurprisingly ranked in the top three. She had a bright and generous face, and even without makeup, she was like a bright and beautiful red plum in the night.

Shen Huaijin is ignorant and lives a life of debauchery all day long, and his life setting is that of a rebellious and cold school bully. As long as he wakes up a little under the encouragement of the heroine and works hard, he can easily counterattack successfully, making the diligence and hard work of others seem like a joke.

Life is a piece of cake for this wealthy and powerful protagonist who is as rich as Tao Bai.

It's so unfair——

But there is no fairness in life.

From the day of his death, or perhaps it should be from the day of his birth, Lu Zao had only one choice - to accept this fate irresistibly.

As usual, Lu Zaozao didn't see anyone this summer vacation. In mid-August, everyone went back home after their trip.

Earlier than expected.

Lu Zaozao guessed that it was probably a birthday party for Lu Qingwan, and a graduation party for Shen Xiyan and Shen Huaijin.

Lu Qingwan and Lu Zaozao's birthdays are both during the summer vacation, and are only one day apart.

In my memory, Lu Qingwan’s birthday parties were all very grand, but mine… I can’t quite remember mine, but it was definitely celebrated anyway.

Both of these things are big deals because they involve the children of the Lu and Shen families.

Lu Zaozao estimated that all the important people in Lin City would receive invitations, and the number of people coming to the banquet would be more rather than less. Of course, they came not just to have a drink and say congratulations, but also to make friends, expand their network, and open up larger business.
