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

Lu Zao Zao woke up slowly by the swimming pool and opened her eyes with great effort. She saw a group of people surrounding her. Li Jianan was half-kneeling beside her with red eyes. She raised her hand and patted Li Jianan's forearm, indicating that nothing serious was happening to her and asked her not to worry.

Li Jianan sniffed, "You scared me to death."

The discomfort that Lu Zaozao felt from drowning in the water had not completely disappeared yet, and it still lingered in her body stubbornly. She turned her eyeballs around with difficulty, but did not see those eyes. Lu Zaozao's chest rose and fell weakly.

After being helped up by Li Jianan, she finally gathered some strength after a while and wanted to ask who had just saved her?

Those eyes - very familiar eyes, perhaps just an illusion of hers.

Before his lips and tongue moved or a word was uttered, a voice suddenly spoke first. It was He Feng's voice.

"Aren't you fucking in the hospital? Why did you suddenly come here? So what if you missed a few classes!" He Feng questioned in a very aggressive tone.

Xie Huinian sat on a chair at the side, his lips turned very pale, the water in the pool flowed down his hair over his forehead, passed over his chin, and then disappeared into his collar. A few drops of water gathered on his thin collarbone, swaying like a pool of spring water, and the girls around him looked at him with worried expressions, with sad faces.

Before He Feng could ask the next question, Xie Huinian covered his mouth with his fist and started coughing uncontrollably. The veins on his forehead were taut and his face quickly turned red, but his lips were still pale, making him look particularly thin and gaunt.

He Feng's words were immediately stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter another word.

He sat down next to Xie Huinian and gently stroked Xie Huinian's back to calm him down. He still looked a little angry, but his voice was much softer. "Can you please stop taking your body so lightly?"

"No."

A word that is more concise and to the point. He Feng wanted to roll his eyes at Xie Huinian speechlessly. "You dragged your sick body to rush to save people. You really think you are the savior. I warn you, if you do this again next time, I will tell Grandpa Jiang. You went out last Saturday and got such a serious illness for no apparent reason. I haven't even asked you what happened, and now you are doing this to me again."

"I'm telling you, you're doing this..." When He Feng wanted to say something else, his brain seemed to suddenly connect to a line that had been short-circuiting repeatedly, and it started to function more sensitively.

Wasn't last Saturday the 16th? Xie Huinian didn't have many friends in this place. Su Zaixi had asked him out a few times, but Xie Huinian refused every time. So what else could have happened?

There was only one thing left - he had to return the cat, and he did so every two weeks. Xie Huinian always abided by this agreement.

Not only did he not delegate the task to others, he also prepared in advance and kept the appointment carefully.

He Feng looked at Xie Huinian calmly and found that the other person was staring at a certain place in a daze, but in fact his eyes were empty and he didn't know what random things he was thinking about.

He Feng followed his gaze and said, "There are so many people around, including coaches and assistants, but you, a patient, had to drag your unhealed body into the water to save him. Xie Huinian, how come I didn't know when you became such an enthusiastic and kind person."

Not only is he not a good-natured man who is eager to save people, in some ways, Xie Huinian can hardly be called a "good man".

Although he looks humble and gentle, even bright when he smiles, and is always kind and polite to others, Xie Huinian is essentially a very cold person.

This was revealed when he was very young. He Feng could often get a glimpse of it from the way he interacted with others. When he was abroad, his friends always mentioned that Xie Huinian did not have much of the vitality and vigor of a young man, and was always a little dull, like a businessman who was always calculating and shrewd.

He didn't like to make close friends, let alone confide in others. If it didn't involve his own interests, Xie Huinian would hardly have any fluctuating moments. Most of the time, Xie Huinian seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, which blocked Xie Huinian's past, shrouded Xie Huinian's future, and also made him in chaos and confusion.

Perhaps only Xie Huinian knows what he really needs and wants.

But some things are too overflowing, and you can always see a little bit, so He Feng asked, "Didn't you say before that some people are destined not to be on the same path? Have you changed your mind now?"

Silence, silence again.

The glass windows above the swimming pool were wide open, letting in a few gusts of fresh breeze. The sun shone in, casting a striking shadow right in front of the two people. There seemed to be a group of gray birds flapping their wings and flying past in the sky, leaving a little trace before immediately disappearing without a trace.

He Feng stood up and prepared to return to the team. It was common for Xie Huinian to not answer his questions, and He Feng was used to it.

However, at this moment, Xie Huinian suddenly shook his head very lightly, "No."

He Feng sat down again and looked at the other person. There was a deep sense of fatigue between Xie Huinian's brows. Due to his physical discomfort, his voice was a little erratic, but his tone of voice was very calm, as if he had gone through thousands of mountains and rivers to finally reach this point.

“It is unchangeable that we are not on the same path together. Sometimes, it is enough for people to be closer to each other.”

The school doctor was watching over them. A few minutes after Lu woke up, he was confirmed to be fine. Li Jianan and the coach sighed at the same time. The coach evacuated the crowd and asked the assistant coach to lead them in training. If they felt unwell, they must inform him in time.

Lu Zao Zao was very sorry, and the coach was still worried, so he told Lu Zao Zao to stretch in time before going into the water next time to avoid leg cramps. Lu Zao Zao nodded and told the coach not to worry, this was really an emergency.

After everyone left, Lu Zao Zao sat on a bench nearby.

He Feng's voice had long since disappeared. Lu swallowed hard and prepared himself mentally before finally turning around to look for Xie Huinian. He only turned his eyes slightly and saw Xie Huinian's lowered head. The bone on the back of his spine stood out even more strongly, like a sharp stone.

It was stuck right in Lu Zaozao's heart.

She didn't understand why the fate between the two lives was a coincidence or deliberate, why the entanglement and bond between her and Xie Huinian became more and more, like a tangled life, with two threads tied with countless knots -

It's bound to be a mystery.
