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

After enjoying the cool breeze for a while, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the WeChat interface, and stopped at the column with Xie Huinian. Lu Zaozao was thinking about how to express the matter of returning the cat.

Anyway, I didn't want to go to Xie Huinian's house to hand the cat to him personally this time, as the whole journey would be very painful. I also didn't want him to come to my house to pick it up personally, as that would seem a bit awkward.

After much thought, Lu Zaozao still felt that it would be safest to leave the cat in Ye Ran's cat cafe. He could ask Ye Ran to pick it up in the afternoon or send someone to pick it up.

I had already thought of the wording in my mind and was about to edit it into a paragraph to send out when my phone suddenly vibrated.

It's unlikely to be Li Jianan, because she usually sleeps until noon on weekends, and only bombards Lu Zaozao with messages in the afternoon or evening. Most of them are idiotic jokes and meaningless garbage, and Lu Zaozao then replies one by one.

Lu Zao Zao opened the message with some trepidation and found that it was from Xie Huinian. The other party only sent one sentence.

【I hope you still remember. 】

Lu Zao Zao typed quickly, [Remember, I will drop Deng Deng off at the cat cafe in the afternoon. Remember to pick him up. Don't worry, Sister Ye Ran is very reliable. You saw her last time.]

After waiting for three full minutes, Lu Zaozao still didn't receive a response from the other party.

After a few dozen seconds, the phone finally rang several times again.

[My health has not been good recently and I cannot spare the energy to take good care of it. ]

[Please take care of it for a little longer. I will come to your house to pick it up next time when I feel better.]

Although he knew that Xie Huinian's chance of getting sick was much higher than his own, and that he had once suffered a very serious illness, his frail body was a reality that could no longer be disguised.

But seeing Xie Huinian personally admitting his weakness and illness still made me stunned for a moment, as if I always had the illusion that two time and space were exchanged. Xie Huinian was still very clear and healthy, incomparable to anyone, and he and I were two parallel lines that would never be able to miss each other. Everything now was just a pipe dream that I imagined in the clear afternoon sky.

But everything right now is the reality that Lu Zaozao is experiencing.

Collecting his thoughts, Lu Zao Zao quickly typed the next line.

[Okay, you should take good care of yourself first, I will take good care of you. ]

After typing, Lu Zao Zao realized that something was wrong. Since she knew from the beginning that she was in poor health and wanted to leave Deng Deng to her care, why did she send that sentence "I hope you still remember"? Was she using this sentence to remind herself not to forget anything related to Deng Deng?

Before I could even think about the true meaning of this sentence, the other party sent me a screenshot as a warning.

Lu Zao Zao clicked on it in confusion and found that the content of the picture was just a sentence, which was a sentence he had said not long ago -

[If you need help in the future, I will do my best. ]

So this is what the sentence "I hope you still remember" meant. Lu Zao Zao scratched her head, not understanding what Xie Huinian needed her help with at this moment.

Moreover, Xie Huinian's health has not recovered yet, so he should be living in the hospital now. Lu Zaozao subconsciously looked up at the hospital building not far away. In the huge high-rise building, lived Xie Huinian, who was also tortured by fate.

The universe was so vast and silent, and they were so tiny. They could not see each other if they were slightly blocked by glass, cement, hard walls, and tall branches.

Lu sighed early and replied to him.

[I haven't forgotten. If you need my help, I will do my best.]

[Do you need my help right now? What is it? ]

There was no response, and the phone and herself fell into a long silence again.

Lu Zaozao sat in his seat for a long time. There were many old people around him. Some were playing chess, while others were just chatting. From time to time, they would let out a few old laughs and occasionally let out a few faint sighs.

There were clear and loud cicada chirping all around, using the breeze to prove their existence in such a summer. Lu Zao Zao wondered what it would be like if he could live to this age.

If I die in a few years, will anyone still remember that I existed? Or will I be just like the chirping of cicadas in summer, leaving a few sighs in the wind and then disappear without a trace.

The stone bench was very cold and hard, and Lu Zao Zao's back felt a little sore from sitting so hard. She stood there and stretched her arms and legs, then raised her wrist to check the time on her watch. She was about to go shopping at the supermarket again, as it was almost time.

Just as I was about to get up and walk forward, my cell phone vibrated at an inopportune time.

Lu opened it early to check the message and found that Xie Huinian had finally replied to her last question.

[Do you need my help right now? What is it?]——

【look up.】

……

The wind around her seemed to have stopped, and the voices of people talking around her gradually faded away. Lu Zaozao could only hear the fierce and sharp cicada chirping pouring into her ears. The sun above her head was as bright as white snow, illuminating all living things, leaving nothing behind.

Lu Zao Zao raised her head in a daze. As far as her sight could be seen, there was nothing but the green grass and lush trees of early summer, as well as the tall buildings that filled the air. The bright white surface reflected the sunlight, making her eyes feel a little sore. Her eyeballs moved slowly with some difficulty.

Lu Zaozao felt her throat tightening a little. It seemed that she really had to go home. It was likely that Xie Huinian didn't need her help with anything.

She walked forward a few steps with her head lowered. Most of the light in front of her was blocked, and the scorching sun above her head slipped away from her eyes. Lu's shadow, which had fallen to the ground early, was covered by another layer of taller shadow. The two shadows covered and overlapped, and seemed inseparable.

Lu Zaozao smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine mixed with the sandalwood scent on the other person's body. It was a very familiar smell, and this smell could only belong to one person.

The cicadas that had been chirping so intensely just now seemed to have stopped.

Lu Zaozao seemed to only be able to hear the other party's slightly heavy breathing, and she finally raised her head.

Then he saw Xie Huinian's face. His complexion was not very good, not very healthy, with sweat on his forehead, and even his expression was dull, without much expression. His eyelids drooped lightly, and his eyelashes were so long that they formed a shadow, with a little light spot under his eyelids.

Only those eyes, their gaze was very light, without any weight, like a trace of water that could contain everything——

But he only looked at her.
