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

"Yes." Lu Zao Zao answered calmly.

Shen Huaijin frowned and repeated, "Why do we have to avoid even calling them mom and dad?"

Lu Zao Zao didn't understand nor did she want to understand the meaning of Shen Huaijin's continuous questioning, but she said in a considerate manner, "I just said that casually. Then I will change it to Dad and Mom came to see me at noon today and asked me about Qingwan and other things. Is this okay?"

"If that's okay, I'll go back to bed."

Shen Huaijin seemed very dissatisfied with Lu Zaozao's words, and an angry look appeared on his face. Before Lu Zaozao turned around, he raised his voice again and said in a very cold voice: "Stop."

Then he walked towards Lu Zao Zao step by step, looking at her face with unpleasant and firm eyes.

Lu Zao Zao's expression did not fluctuate at all. She said to Shen Huaijin who stood in front of her again, "In fact, we really don't have that many topics to talk about, and we don't even have anything to say. It has always been like this. There is no need to make any changes tonight."

"If you still want to ask me about Qing Wan, then I must tell you very clearly again. I really know very little about her now. I am the last person you should ask about in this family. Please ask the person involved for the cause and effect."

After saying that, he didn't want to even glance at Shen Huaijin anymore, so he turned around and left.

By the way, she turned up the volume of the MP3 so that she could hear the music clearly. There happened to be a piece of instrumental music playing in it, which inevitably reminded Lu Zao Zao of Shen Xiyan. The last time she happened to meet him when she was listening to this song, Shen Xiyan fled away from her as if he could not tolerate it anymore.

I don’t know whether I don’t like the song or I simply don’t like her as a person.

Looking at Lu Zaozao's thin figure walking in the dim light of the moonlit night, Shen Huaijin raised his hand, and with a "click" the lighter lit the cigarette he had been holding in his hand. The spark flickered in the wind, and the rising smoke covered half of Shen Huaijin's face.

After taking a few puffs, Shen Huaijin looked up at the deep blue and gray sky. There was only a crescent moon hanging above his head, with a few lonely stars and nothing else. When he lowered his head again, Lu Zaozao's figure had completely disappeared. Only the sound of the wind lingered on this road.

He gritted his teeth, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

Finally returning to the room, Lu Zao Zao took off her coat and put it on the chair, turned off the lights in the room, and got back into bed. The sound of music still continued to come into her ears through the headphones. Lu Zao Zao paused the music and put the MP3 on the bedside table.

The room was filled with the smell of incense, a light herbal scent, and if you smelled it carefully, there was a faint bitter taste.

Lu closed his eyes early and placed his hands and feet neatly. Perhaps it was because he had just walked so far, or perhaps it was because he had just talked so much with Shen Huaijin, but this time, within ten minutes, Lu felt deeply sleepy.

She finally fell into sleep.

He slept well in the first half, but it shouldn't have been long, as Lu Zao Zao soon fell into dream again.

The dream was about herself in her previous life. It should be the summer vacation after she finished the college entrance examination when she was 18 years old. That summer was really hot. The asphalt on the road seemed to be melted by the sun. The leaves were shining in the sunlight, bright green, but the flowers were a little wilted. The cicadas were dormant in the bushes and grass, chirping non-stop.

Shen Xiyan and Shen Huaijin also had their university vacation early. Lu Qingwan, like her, had just finished the college entrance examination. That year, the Lu family went out traveling as usual.

Lu Zaozao was the only one left. She was used to it and felt a little sad and resentful about it, but she didn't have the slightest resentment.

After staying at home alone for a while, she decided to go out for a walk to kill some time.

Maybe I shouldn't have gone out that day.

After walking around the mall for a while, Lu Zaozao remembered that Lu Qingwan's birthday would be in a month or two. She visited many stores but felt that none of the items there were suitable as gifts for Lu Qingwan. Her little sister had never lacked these seemingly boring and vulgar luxury items.

It was not convenient for her to buy more expensive things, such as antiques, diamonds, and jewelry, as she did not have such a large amount of money on her card. Although she could ask Lu Aotian and Shen Xingyao for it, they would probably give it to her.

But Lu Zaozao didn't want them to look at her with such strange and inquiring eyes, so she just gave up.

After looking at the whole thing, Lu Zaozao still hadn't seen anything suitable, so she decided to pick a more elegant gift and then make something by hand for Lu Qingwan. This would be more sincere and would be the best gift she could give.

Although the final destination of these "sincerities" and the letters she sent out may be gathering dust on a shelf or directly into the trash can.

But even so, Lu Zao Zao always chose to forgive. At that time, she didn't know why Lu Qingwan or even the entire Lu family disliked her so much, and she couldn't figure out why Lu Qingwan's attitude towards her changed so much from childhood to adulthood.

But Lu Zaozao didn't care about these things, or maybe she just kept telling herself in her heart not to care about these little things. They were her closest people, and they had the same blood as her. Broken bones and tendons were not a big deal.

She kept thinking like this until she finally believed it, so she always swallowed all the grievances and sorrows alone, and worked hard to contribute endless love to them from her poor body.

After walking out of the store, Lu Zao Zao felt a little dry in the mouth, so he decided to go to a coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee.

It was a coffee shop with a very warm and lovely decoration. It was divided into two floors. In order to respect the privacy of various guests, various small screens were used to separate the various areas, making it extremely concealed.

Lu Zao Zao also ordered a small dessert. There were many plants on the shelf next to it. The quality of the plants was also very good, and they were translucent and bright, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

While eating, Lu Zaozao looked up at the ceiling of the store, which was covered with bright and warm stickers. After a few minutes, she suddenly heard a conversation between several people. Some of the voices sounded familiar, but she couldn't tell who they were.
