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

"If there is no problem," Xie Huinian said, "then you can take it home and take care of it for half a month."

After saying that, he left without any hesitation, leaving behind only a tall light yellow figure in the sunlight. Only Lu Zao Zao was left standing there, nodding in a daze.

Although he accepted this result, Lu Zaozao still felt it was too weird. How could things develop to this point for no reason, leaving no buffer zone or time?

When she brought the kitten home, Aunt Li was very shocked and asked, "Miss, did you buy a kitten to raise?"

Lu Zao Zao touched its head and explained, "No, it's a stray cat I found on campus. I thought it was cute so I brought it back to raise."

“A stray cat?” Aunt Li’s expression was even more shocked. She stretched out a finger and gently poked the kitten’s head. “It doesn’t look like one. It’s so well-fed. I thought someone was taking good care of it.”

It really doesn't look like it, Lu Zaozao sighed silently in her heart, Xie Huanian really took good care of it, it looked like a kitten that was raised with extra care and love in a wealthy family.

Because of the matter of raising kittens together, the two naturally exchanged contact information.

In fact, it was not natural. Lu Zaozao had no such intention. After buying cat food, cat litter, cat bed and a series of daily necessities needed by the kitten, Lu Zaozao lay on the carpet and basked in the sunshine outside with the kitten. Suddenly, she realized that she had forgotten something extremely important - the kitten had not been named yet.

For now, it only has the somewhat hasty nickname of "Mao Mao". Lu Zao Zao, who had already prepared several alternative names for it, suddenly remembered that this cat has an owner, and if he wants to give it a name, he should ask for his opinion.

So the next morning, Lu Zao Zao secretly asked Xie Huinian to meet him on the open lawn behind the school after school in the afternoon. This sentence was written on a very small, rolled-up piece of paper and thrown into Xie Huinian's desk when no one was looking.

In the afternoon, Lu went to the lawn behind the school to wait as promised, but Xie Huinian was late.

Before Lu Zao Zao could ask the question, Xie Huinian took the initiative and looked at her with a look that seemed a little unhappy. "You folded the paper so small, are you afraid that others will see it or that I will see it?"

Lu Zao Zao scratched his palm awkwardly. Before he could say sorry, Xie Huinian asked again, "What's the matter with calling me out?"

Finally remembering the main purpose, Lu Zao Zao no longer cared about the embarrassment, "The kitten hasn't been named yet. I think it's something we both need to raise together, so we should discuss its name together before it's better, better..."

She paused, finally searching her mind for a more appropriate word, and then said, "Fairer."

"Well, it is more fair." For some reason, these two words sounded particularly strange once they came out of Xie Huinian's mouth, as if they had other meanings. However, before Lu Zao Zao had time to think about it, Xie Huinian snorted again.

"So you called me out because of this matter, and you had to do it in a place where no one was around. It's embarrassing to talk to me openly in the classroom, right?"

It's not shameful, it's just not necessary.

Lu Zao Zao shook her head. It was obvious that there was no need to discuss this topic with Xie Huinian. She brought the topic back to the original question. "So what should it be called? We should pick one as soon as possible."

Xie Huinian was silent for a few seconds, looking at her silently, his face was calm and gentle, it seemed that he was thinking, after a while he said, "You can take it, and just tell me when you are done."

"I have chosen a few before, but I don't think they are very good, so I want to discuss it with you."

"Then call Wait."

"Wait..." The call seemed quite smooth, and Lu Zao Zao had no objection, so she made an OK gesture, thanked the other party and prepared to leave. She had no intention of staying here for long, nor did she plan to expand any new topics to discuss with the other party.

He left without hesitation.

If it weren't for the cat that forced her to have a subtle intersection and connection with Xie Huinian again, she would not have planned to say another word to him before graduation.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Xie Huinian who called her from behind first. After Lu Zao Zao stopped, he walked to her side.

Xie Huinian was very tall but thin, standing under the shadow of the tree. Lu Zaozao looked straight ahead naturally, not looking at him, but just asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are many things to pay attention to when raising a cat, and sometimes mistakes are inevitable. Since we are raising it together and we have to separate every half a month, so..." Xie Huanian suddenly lowered his head, and his face appeared completely and clearly in Lu Zaozao's sight, "We should still have a way to contact each other so that we can communicate and exchange ideas better and more efficiently."

Lu Zaozao subconsciously leaned back and took a few steps. Xie Huinian was too close to her just now. She could even feel his warm breath on her face, bringing a subtle itchy feeling.

Xie Huinian was right. If there were anything else to say about cats in the future, this kind of communication would be too inefficient and unnecessary. So he took his phone out of his pocket, opened the WeChat QR code, and said, "Then add me."

Xie Huinian glanced at her, completed the scan with a "beep", and added the contact information quickly and neatly. In the silence and whistling wind, the two of them looked serious as if they were attending a handover ceremony for some important and urgent task.

Xie Huinian slowly raised his head, straightened his back, and said as if to explain: "I don't come to school every day, and I don't have that much time to be here. If there is anything else you want to tell me, you can send me a message."

Lu Zao Zao nodded softly.

After returning home, Lu Zaozao felt that everything became more inexplicable and unreal. She obviously didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Huinian anymore, but because of some things, the invisible bond between the two people gradually deepened.

She opened her phone and had just added Xie Huinian’s WeChat, without having time to change the note.

When I opened the chat interface between the two, I found that Xie Huinian’s avatar was completely black, like a long and lonely night, with only a very tiny star in the middle, which was almost invisible. The name was an English name, lcarus.

Icarus, Lu knew this English name very early. He was a character in ancient Greek mythology. In his attempt to chase the sun, his wings eventually melted and he fell into the sea and died.

Not understanding why Xie Huinian would use such a name, Lu Zaozao was a little puzzled, but this really had nothing to do with her. After clicking on the remarks column and quickly changing the English letters to Xie Huinian, Lu Zaozao wanted to switch back to other software -

But I always felt something was wrong. Xie Huinian's WeChat ID was an eleven-digit number, which should be his phone number. I always felt that this string of numbers was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. But after thinking for a long time, I realized that there was no such person in my address book, so I gave up.
