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

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianan's face was filled with sorrow. The energy he had just had was gone, and he only looked miserable.

"What school are you going back to?" He Feng glanced at his watch. "It's noon, and time for lunch. I'll treat you to lunch."

This time, before anyone could speak, Lu spoke first, "Thank you, but no thanks, I'm not hungry, you guys go eat, I'll go back first."

Before she could take a few steps, He Feng and Li Jianan pulled her back with one hand each, and Li Jianan looked at her with an innocent and pitiful look, "Can you bear to leave me here alone?"

"Then let's go back to school together, and I'll treat you to a meal."

"Can you bear to make me spend my days in the classroom in a state worse than death?"

"..."

He Feng put his arm around Lu Zaozao's shoulders in a familiar manner, "I finally invited someone to dinner, but you didn't even give me the face I deserved."

"Yes, yes." Li Jianan blinked and acted very naturally. Anyway, if she had used this trick to ask Lu Zao Zao to do something in the past, she would have agreed 100%. "Just give He Feng some face."

"Okay." Lu Zao Zao compromised. "Can we go back after dinner?"

"of course."

Li Jianan agreed with a smile, not caring about anything else and just agreed first.

"The one on the hospital bed." He Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Huinian with disdain, "Why are you still lying there? Wait for me to treat you to a meal."

Despite saying this, he still walked to Xie Huinian's bedside and said, "Hurry up and get up. It's sunny now and not so cold. Go out and move around a bit."

"…Is he going too?"

"?" He Feng turned around and looked at Lu Zaozao with an incredulous expression, as if he was looking at the King of Hell, "Do you want him to starve to death?"

"No, no." It was obvious that He Feng misunderstood Lu Zaozao's meaning. She just felt that Xie Huinian was not the kind of person who liked to have lunch with strangers, so she asked so many questions. And once she formed the perception that she had to have lunch with Xie Huinian, it suddenly added a lot of pressure on her.

"I thought you hated him so much that you didn't even want him to eat, and wanted him to starve to death in bed." He Feng joked with a sly smile, "Oh my god, if that's the case, it would be great!"

"..." Lu Zao Zao lowered his head, his voice was very low and a little muffled, "How could it be."

The messy conversation seemed to have not entered Xie Huinian's mind. He got up from the bed, went into the bathroom and changed his clothes. The dark gray wool coat made him look elegant and upright, and his temperament was as pure and clean as running water.

There was a driver waiting downstairs in the hospital. The car was a not-too-conspicuous black Bentley with a wide body and a large interior space. Xie Huinian was sitting in the passenger seat.

Lu Zao Zao felt his palms were full of sweat. He clearly didn't have a fever before, but now after the IV and the injection, that feeling suddenly invaded his entire body and brain.

The temperature in the car is just right, it's the perfect temperature, neither too cold nor too hot, very comfortable.

However, because it was too closed, the distance between them was only a few steps, no more than one meter, which made Lu Zao Zao feel suffocated. She even had the urge to pull the window all the way down to let the cold wind in and blow on her brain which was not clear at all at the moment.

After dozens of minutes, it felt like a century had passed before the car finally arrived at the destination.

They said they just found a random place to eat, but it was actually a very secretive restaurant. The doorman helped them park the car, and the neatly dressed waiters respectfully led them to the designated box.

The interior is decorated in Chinese style, with stone steps and elegant green bamboos and flowing water beside. There are also many gladioli planted. They are not blooming in this season, but they are well maintained and the leaves are a refreshing green.

They must come here to eat often. He Feng ordered all the dishes on the menu and then asked the rest of the people for their opinions.

Li Jianan felt a headache seeing all the meat, so she ordered a stir-fried vegetable and a small dessert. Lu Zaozao shook her head. She was not a picky eater. There were always a few dishes she was willing to eat, so she had no objection to anything they ordered.

Xie Huinian flipped through the menu several times before he reluctantly picked out a dish.

The central air conditioning is on inside and the temperature is very high.

Xie Huinian took off his coat, only wearing a white linen shirt underneath. He was very thin, with his collarbone forming a smooth line. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pale and thin wrist and forearm, with very obvious blue veins.

Instead of staring at Xie Huinian, Lu Zaozao's gaze was very restrained. She just looked straight ahead or lowered her head to look at the patterns on the table.

If she had to blame anyone, it was because the chandelier above her head was too bright. She just raised her eyes slightly and saw a small dark blue mole on the vein on Xie Huanian's right wrist. It was like a small island in the vast ocean that would not be noticed or visited by anyone, but was found by Lu early on.

She suddenly remembered that she also had such a blue mole on her left wrist, so she subconsciously stared at her left hand.

The wait for the dishes was not too long. Although they were home-cooked dishes, they were cooked very delicately and the presentation was also very particular.

He Feng and Li Jianan looked really hungry, probably because they had consumed too much energy playing games in the morning. As soon as the food came, they immediately lowered their heads and devoured it, and they didn't talk as much as before.

A dish of steamed turbot was passed to Lu Zaozao three times in a row. Lu Zaozao finally picked up a little bit with the tip of her chopsticks and put it in the bowl, but she didn't eat it. Li Jianan, who was eating heartily, glanced at her slightly, and asked incoherently with food in his mouth: "Zaozao, you don't like turbot?"

Lu Zao Zao shook his head.

It's not just this dish, she doesn't like to eat all kinds of fish. One reason is because they have too many bones, and the other is that she always feels that no matter how they are cooked, there is a fishy smell, which makes her feel uncomfortable the moment she swallows it.

She had accidentally seen Xie Huinian eat this dish before, and later when she was eating out, she ordered it several times for some unknown reason. She almost spit it out after taking a bite with her chopsticks. In the end, she didn't want to be asked why she ordered it even though she didn't like it, so she had to pretend to be calm and swallow it, then drank a lot of warm water to relieve the pain.

Now that I think about it, I find myself a little funny because I was always paying attention to some insignificant and inexplicable details, and then doing even more inexplicable things.

Knowing that Lu Zaozao didn't like fish, Li Jianan then switched the dish to her favorite steamed spareribs with rice flour and fried cured meat. After going around in circles, the fish dish was passed between He Feng and Xie Huinian. Xie Huinian was picking up some food when he suddenly remembered something and paused.

So he put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of the freshly brewed Dahongpao to moisten his throat and tongue, and didn't move again.

From beginning to end, he hardly touched the food in his bowl, and he had only eaten the top of the small bowl of white rice.

He Feng raised his head from the bowl, glanced at him, and commented: "Difficult to serve."
