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

"That's it..." Lu Zaozao's mind was a little confused at the moment, but he quickly reorganized his words and said, "You think you were reborn at a certain time point in this life, but one day, you suddenly discovered that the memories you have are different from the life you experienced after your rebirth in this life, but you have no memories at all."

Li Jianan frowned, "It sounds like some weird talk about rules."

"Yeah." Lu Zao Zao said, "Such an absurd thing."

But soon Li Jianan looked into her eyes and said, "It's possible. After all, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Some people's lives may be so absurd, right?"

Lu Zao Zao hummed softly.

A few days later, the sky began to clear up. There were no clouds in the sky, the sky was clear blue, and there was a faint scent of grass in the air. The ground and the new green branches that had just sprouted in spring were washed clean and clear by the rain.

With the arrival of spring, the scenery along the road becomes lush and bright. The flowers on the scenic path are in full bloom, the trees are tall and lush, and you can occasionally smell a faint scent of flowers while walking.

But the catkins gradually increased in number, fluttering in the wind. Lu went home early and late from school, and sometimes the car windows were not closed tightly, so the catkins floating in the air would penetrate through the gaps and make her cough.

There are also all kinds of messy infectious diseases and viruses.

The kitten that Lu Zaozao had been feeding fell ill during the past few days. The cat looked listless and depressed, and lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Lu Zaozao sent it to the pet hospital, and it recovered after an injection.

And not long after, he was fed again and was full of life.

After the previous incident, Lu Zaozao was even more unsure of her future and fate, but before everything changed drastically, she struggled for a while and felt that she should still be able to adopt this poor little tabby cat.

To be more precise, it is no longer a kitten, and it is not that pitiful, because it has grown up a bit, is well fed, and is chubby. From a distance, it looks like a full, round ball.

The hair becomes neater and smoother, and the eyes become clean and bright.

After school, they came to the lawn behind the school - this was where the kitten often stayed. Sure enough, Lu Zao Zao called her a few times, and the kitten ran out from a corner very politely, meowed a few times, then squatted in front of her and began to eat cat food obediently.

After eating and touching each other's heads, the man and the cat separated. Lu Zao Zao walked a few steps and then turned around and stopped. She found that the cat was also sitting on a bench not far away, staring at her with moist and pure round eyes. Lu Zao Zao whispered softly, "If you want to go home with me now, just run towards me."

The cat raised its head and meowed on the chair, then jumped down and ran to Lu Zaozao. Lu Zaozao squatted down and stroked its body, smiling happily, "Okay, from now on you are my kitten."

When he wanted to pick it up and take it home, someone suddenly spoke behind him, and Lu Zao Zao was startled in this quiet place, as he was caught off guard.

"I have been feeding this kitten for half of its life. It is not fair for you to raise it privately now."

Lu Zaozao subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Xie Huinian. She recognized him the moment she heard the voice, but she found it a little unbelievable. The consequence of being too surprised was that she turned her head too far. Now her neck was very sore, so she raised her hand to rub it.

Then he looked up at Xie Huinian, opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Then what is fair?"

Xie Huinian didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, with his eyebrows lowered, revealing a pair of thick and long eyelashes. The leaves on the tree kept swaying in the wind, and the dark green shadows fell on his face, making Xie Huinian's whole body sway with a layer of gentle spring.

One minute after asking this question, she still didn't get an answer. The other party just stood in front of her with his hands hanging down and looked at her, as if he wanted Lu to give a fair and just answer before he would give up.

However, Lu Zaozao's mind was a mess at the moment. It was only later that she realized that no one had fed the cat. When she was away, it was Xie Huinian who had been taking care of it.

"During Christmas time, I couldn't find it. Did you take it home to raise it?"

"What else?" Xie Huinian asked naturally.

Then she suddenly couldn't ask anything. While standing there thinking, she saw the tabby cat pass her and walk around Xie Huinian a few times. Then it lay down beside his trouser leg and rubbed against him affectionately as usual. No wonder Lu Zao Zao had felt for a while that its eyes were so arrogant as if it had hooked up with a rich man. It turned out that it really was like that.

So Lu Zao Zao decided naturally, "Then I won't take it back to raise it myself. I'll give it to you. You've raised it before, so you're more familiar with its living habits than I am, and it's also very close to you."

"..."

Xie Huinian remained silent, and the cat seemed to be unaware of what had happened. It walked away from Xie Huinian's feet, climbed up Lu Zaozao's legs, and then jumped into Lu Zaozao's arms, full of energy. It shook its fur, and its flesh trembled.

The air seemed to be silent for a second. Lu Zaozao looked at the tabby cat resting peacefully with its eyes closed in his arms. He felt so overwhelmed for the first time. The cat seemed to be at ease, but it didn't know that two people were still arguing about its final ownership.

"It seems that it is very attached to you." After a long silence, Xie Huanian finally spoke, "I have a lot of things to do and don't have that much time to take care of it. I am not very reassured if I leave it to the nanny. The deworming and vaccination work has been completed long ago. It doesn't carry any diseases and is very healthy."

Lu Zaozao didn't understand the meaning of such a long string of words. She was still confused, but she could tell from Xie Huanian's tone that he valued the cat, so she asked uncertainly again, "So...how do we solve this problem?"

"So, co-parenting."

"...together" Lu Zao Zao paused, "raising?"

It sounded unbelievable. Lu Zaozao was unable to accept the shock of these four short words for a moment and stood there stiffly.

"Yes." The warm afternoon sun covered the area, and tiny dust particles visible to the naked eye floated in the air. Xie Huinian looked her straight in the eye and said as a matter of course: "Half a month per person, or a week is also fine. If you think there can be a better and more reasonable time arrangement, you can also propose it. If you really miss it, you can come to my house to see it, it's up to you."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Lu Zaozao blinked even more bewildered and confused, and after a while, she shook her head. There was really nothing to doubt about Xie Huanian's arrangement, but she always felt that something was vaguely wrong.
