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

Lu Zaozao felt the blood in his body freeze, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. It was difficult for him to think, and he couldn't think rationally.

She stood up suddenly, pushed the door open and ran downstairs, passing through the winding paths, gardens and courtyards, all the way to the main villa where everyone lived. Lu Zao Zao still did not slow down her pace.

During the Qingming Festival, they were all at home to worship their ancestors. She ignored everyone's gazes and Lu Aotian's stern voice calling her from behind, and ran upstairs vigorously and urgently.

Shen Xingyao must have just come out of a room. When he stepped into the corridor, he was surprised for a second when he saw her. He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Zao Zao ignored her, as if he had temporarily closed all his senses. He didn't even shift his gaze, but ran straight past her and towards his room.

Many things are still the same as when I left, preserved intact, and it seems that no one has touched them. The room is very tidy and clean, without a speck of dust, which means that someone must come to clean it regularly.

But Lu Zao Zao no longer had the heart to pay attention to all this. Almost roughly, she opened all the cabinet drawers and storage boxes, and took out all the messy things inside. She even checked under the bed. Clothes, skin care products, books, toys, all kinds of things were scattered all over the floor and piled haphazardly on the thick, soft carpet.

It's useless, not a single useful thing was found.

Lu Zao Zao slowly got up from the ground, opened the door, and saw Shen Xingyao standing in the corridor not far from her. He was slowly walking towards her, staring at her sharply.

"What are you doing here?" she repeated.

Lu Zao Zao didn't say anything, and had no intention of responding. He just looked at her coldly, without any emotion, and then walked past her without any reluctance.

She walked down the stairs holding the railing. Lu Aotian was standing at the stairs. The pair of eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses looked at her calmly and soberly. With the pressure of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, Lu Zaozao walked down the stairs step by step, getting closer and closer to those eyes.

In the past, she would probably be scared or terrified by such looks and gazes, but she should have started to reflect more on whether she had done something wrong that made Lu Aotian look at her like this. She longed, even desired, to be liked by Lu Aotian, wanting fatherly love more than anyone else in this room.

But today, Lu Zaozao just felt upset. She was too lazy to answer Shen Xingyao's questions, nor did she have time to care about the meaning of Lu Aotian's eyes. Lu Zaozao didn't care what different thoughts everyone in this huge villa had about her, whether they liked her or hated her.

There are so many things that cannot be sorted out that they seem so insignificant.

Lu Zaozao looked into the other person's eyes with extreme indifference, stepped down step by step, and finally walked to the ground and connected with the other person's body.

Unwilling to stay in this place for another second, Lu Zao Zao was about to leave when Lu Aotian grabbed her wrist, very anxiously and forcefully. She could feel the severe pain in her arm, but she didn't turn around, just asked, "What's the matter?"

"I should ask you this."

That means it's okay. Lu Zao Zao tried hard to pull his wrist out of the restraints. Perhaps he accidentally scratched a scar on his forearm that had not healed yet. The pain affected his nerves. Lu Zao Zao's temple jumped violently. He gritted his teeth, but no sound came out.

As she walked forward, she could feel Lu Aotian's gaze still looking at her sharply and intently, but Lu Zao no longer cared.

Shen Huaijin was originally sitting obediently on the sofa, but at this moment he suddenly snorted coldly, "You have become more capable."

Lu Zaozao tilted her head and looked at him, staring at Shen Huaijin expressionlessly, as if she was looking at something. In fact, she was recalling the differences between the Shen Huaijin in her memory and the Shen Huaijin now. After checking, she found that they were still the same.

Everyone was the same, overlapping with the ones in her memory—equally indifferent, distant, and arrogant.

Shen Huaijin seemed to be annoyed by her silence and coldness. He stood up from the sofa and quickly fumbled out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket. His hands seemed a little unsteady and he took two tries to light the cigarette. Then his face was covered with gray smoke.

Shen Xingyao also walked down the stairs. Several people stood together, like a square formation surrounding her. Lu Zaozao was silent for a moment, without any feeling, and could not arouse any extra emotions. She then calmly walked out of the living room.

I walked outside and finally breathed in fresh air. The sky above my head was still and the sun was high in the sky, looking down on all living things coldly and disdainfully.

When I returned to school after a three-day holiday, it was still cloudy. It rained most of the morning. The rain lasted all day, as if turning all the scenery into moist mist.

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground and the eaves complemented the physics teacher's endless chatter about the kinetic energy theorem on the podium, composing a great lullaby with excellent rhythm.

When Li Jianan fell asleep and woke up again for the second time, he saw Lu Zaozao still in a daze, with his eyes drooping somewhat distractedly. He couldn't tell whether he was looking at his own hands or the examples in the book.

Li Jianan rubbed his eyes, leaned close to her and asked in a low voice, "Zao Zao, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded after returning from vacation? I tell you that it's not good to just reminisce about the happiness of vacation all day long. Besides, May Day is coming soon, so just bear with it for a while."

Lu Zao Zao shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

So Li Jianan buried her head in her arms again and fell asleep peacefully. She woke up again after class. There were so many people in the corridor, coming and going, and the noisy footsteps made it impossible for her to fall asleep. Fortunately, she had slept for several classes in a row and had enough energy, so she was not in a bad mood when she woke up.

Li Jianan looked at the time and suddenly shouted, "Why is it noon already?" So he quickly pulled Lu Zao Zao to the cafeteria for lunch.

After finally getting the food ready and sitting down to eat, Li Jianan lowered his head and ate until his mouth was full while asking, "Early morning, it's ok for me to sleep so well that I don't know what time it is, but how come you can't tell the time while you're lying on the table?"

Lu Zao Zao groaned and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot."

Li Jianan raised his head from the dish and looked at Lu Zaozao with squinted eyes.

"Something's wrong, it's really wrong, why are you so listless all of a sudden?" As she spoke, she suddenly became nervous, "Oh my god, Zao Zao, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lu Zao Zao shook her head again, indicating that she was in good health and had no signs of catching a cold. After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked up in confusion and asked:

"An An, do you believe that there are parallel worlds?"
