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

In fact, Lu Zaozao also wanted to say that in her mind, Xie Huinian would always be Xie Huinian, the high-spirited, calm and outstanding Xie Huinian. From the first time she met Xie Huinian to the last second when she closed her eyes before she died, Xie Huinian would always be so lively, brilliant and high-spirited.

Lu Zaozao had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind. During this time, Xie Huinian seemed to rub his forehead upwards, and his hair blown by the wind scratched the right cheek and chin of Lu Zaozao, making her more itchy, as if a butterfly flapping its wings had stopped on her face to rest for a while in this bright spring day.

The next second, Lu Zao Zao heard Xie Huinian take a deep breath and respond to what she had just said, "I don't want to."

I do not want to.

I do not want to.

Lu Zao Zao had gone over this sentence several times in her mind, feeling a little confused. Soon, she heard Xie Huanian continue to say, "I don't want to, and I don't want to take the retreat path you mentioned."

"I know what you really want to tell me, and I know what the way out you're talking about is, but I don't want to say either. Lu Zaozao, there are so many things I regret, and I always feel regretful and sad. I accidentally missed a lot of beautiful scenes in my life, and I missed the most important people in my life."

"But God has been kind to me sometimes. I've finally been able to come here after spending so much time, energy, and effort to be able to stand here and talk to you so closely."

After Xie Huinian finished speaking, he raised his head unexpectedly and looked into Lu Zaozao's eyes, which were a little confused but sparkling in the sunlight. Xie Huinian chuckled very softly, and Lu Zaozao felt that Xie Huinian's eyes, which had no weight at all, turned into a radiant and sparkling butterfly, and once again stayed on her cheek.

"So where do you want me to retreat to, Lu Zaozao?"

Lu Zaozao realized belatedly that she and Xie Huinian were too close, with the toes of their shoes touching each other. Xie Huinian was slightly bent over, and when he spoke with his head down, his warm breath sprayed all over her cheeks and neck, and his long eyelashes seemed to sweep across Lu Zaozao's face.

Out of physical instinct - the urge to escape when getting close to others, Lu Zao Zao subconsciously wanted to step back, but just like before, he did not take a step back, but just stood there.

Xie Huinian looked at Lu Zaozao in this posture. Lu Zaozao's whole body was stiff. His fingers curled up and pulled at the edge of his pants, making that piece a little wrinkled. After a few seconds, Xie Huinian suddenly raised his head slightly upwards, moved to the side, and touched Lu Zaozao's head.

"This is the path I chose on my own," Xie Huinian said. "I have nowhere to turn back. Do you know that, Lu Zaozao?"

Lu Zaozao lowered her head slightly, revealing a slender, white and fragile neck. It was unknown what she was thinking about. After a while, Lu Zaozao's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to persuade Xie Huinian, but also as if not.

Anyway, she was quiet for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Xie Huinian was half-believing and half-doubting. It was not that he did not believe in Lu Zaozao's ability to understand, but he doubted Lu Zaozao's words that she knew was just a perfunctory way of getting rid of him. Therefore, he asked doubtfully and somewhat helplessly, "Do you really know?"
