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

And he had to say it in person, right in front of Lu Zao Zao.

"Happy New Year, Lu Zao Zao."

"Thank you, you too." Lu Zao Zao raised his head, looked at Xie Huanian and said seriously, "Happy New Year, Xie Huanian."

In the distance, a large cluster of fire trees and silver suddenly shot straight up into the sky, blooming above the sky, and stars rained down, illuminating Lu Zaozao's eyes and eyebrows clearly in an instant. For some reason, he looked a little tired. There was a cold wind at night, blowing Lu Zaozao's hair on his forehead. Lu Zaozao was not wearing glasses, and his eyes were very warm in the lively and noisy night.

Xie Huanian fished out a small nylon bag from his pocket. It was a very ordinary bag without any patterns or embroidery on it. He took out a lucky charm from it and said, "I got this from the temple with my grandfather some time ago. I'm giving it to you."

Just as Lu Zaozao said thank you, Xie Huinian took out a silver necklace from his bag and said, "It's a New Year's gift. It's not very expensive. You can keep it."

Lu Zaozao thought that Xie Huinian sometimes really treated her like a fool. Everything Xie Huinian gave her was obviously valuable. How could it not be seen because it was packaged in a slightly ordinary and mediocre way? She let out a breath and felt like laughing, so she pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Xie Huinian seemed to be afraid that Lu Zaozao's behavior was a precursor to rejection. He bent down and lifted up Lu Zaozao's wrist, wanting to put the bracelet directly on Lu Zaozao.

Lu Zaozao actually didn't want to refuse. She just gave it to him. She could return it with the butterfly earrings he had given her before.

It would be more troublesome to refuse at this moment, and a lot of words would have to be said back and forth. However, when Xie Huinian's warm hand touched Lu Zaozao's wrist, Lu Zaozao seemed to suddenly remember something, and wanted to retract her hand as if burned by fire.

But it was too late.

Xie Huinian had already grasped her wrist. Even through the coat, it was still a thin and slender piece. Soon, Xie Huinian frowned and gently stroked Lu Zaozao's finger bones with his fingertips. His voice was no longer gentle as before, but a little lower. "What's wrong with your hand? How did you get hurt?"

She was actually seen, but Lu Zao Zao was not in a hurry to retract her hand, otherwise it would make her look even more obvious. She glanced at her hand and explained in a normal tone, "I accidentally got burned when I was carrying the plate last time. It's okay, I've taken care of it, and it should be healed in a few days."

Anyway, it's covered with a layer of Band-Aid, so you can't tell what caused the wound. Just make up a reason as an excuse to cover it up.

Xie Huinian had no doubts, but his brows were still deeply furrowed. He held Lu Zaozao's wrist and looked her hand up and down. "Is it only the fingertips that were burned? Are there other places burned? Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No, don't be so nervous, it's just a minor injury."

Xie Huinian exhaled, and his frown finally smoothed out a little. Sometimes he really wished that Lu Zaozao could curl up into a small ball so that he could always keep her by his side.

Take good care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and protect her from all harm and from any wind and rain.
