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

The sun was still shining overhead. The two people stood there and for some reason began to remain silent at the same time. A subtle atmosphere began to spread in the air.

Lu Zao Zao seemed to be unable to bear this feeling and state, so he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong? What do you need my help with?"

It seemed that Xie Huinian would often remain silent for a few seconds before answering her questions. Lu had gotten used to it and waited quietly for Xie Huinian's next answer.

The fact was just as Lu Zaozao had thought. Xie Huinian did not answer her question immediately. Instead, his eyes sank slightly, and his gaze kept moving back and forth on her face, as if he was holding back a breath in his chest. After more than ten seconds, he finally squeezed out a few words from his noble voice.

"……What do you think?"

What do you feel? What can you feel?

Lu Zao Zao naturally couldn't think of it, so he shook his head and said very honestly: "I don't know."

"..." Xie Huinian turned around, no longer looking at her, and just said: "Let's go."

"Oh."

Although she didn't know what Xie Huinian was going to do, Lu Zaozao followed Xie Huinian closely. Even after they walked out of the hospital and got into the car, Lu Zaozao was still confused.

The scenery outside the window changed one after another. The commercial street was crowded with people and shadows overlapped. After the car drove for a while, the crowd gradually decreased. The road became narrow from wide to narrow, and there were few people. Only the leaves on both sides of the road were rustling occasionally in the breeze.

Lu Zaozao had a lot of ideas in her mind. She wouldn't sell her, right? It seemed like she had no value.

When the car stopped at a secluded and cool place, Lu Zao Zao narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Have a meal."

"......?" As soon as these two words came out, Lu Zao Zao became even more confused, "Is this what you want me to help you with?"

"Is it not possible?" Xie Huinian answered without any fluctuations in his tone, and his tone was even affirmative, not giving her any chance to refute. "Or was what you said before a lie?"

"..." Lu Zao Zao said, "Of course not."

It's okay, but it's not necessary.

After winding along the way, along the mountains and beside the water, we finally arrived at the private room. The temperature inside was just right and the fragrance was overwhelming. It was a very elegant classical Chinese architectural style. In the middle stood a screen with a landscape painting embroidered with gold and silver threads, dividing the entire room into two sides.

Outside the window is an artificial pond with gurgling water, green lotus leaves and blooming lotus flowers in full bloom, a bright red.

The menu was placed in front of Lu Zaozao, but she didn't move. The last time she had dinner with Xie Huinian, at least He Feng and Li Jianan were there, but this time she was alone, which made her feel a little restrained and awkward.

But after all, I had promised Xie Huinian before, so it’s not easy to go back on my word.

Push the menu to the other person and say, "Just order whatever you want. I'm fine with anything."

Xie Huinian didn't make any more excuses to her. He casually glanced at the menu and ticked a few items. The waiter next to him stood respectfully. Xie Huinian slightly turned sideways, and the waiter naturally bent down to listen to him.

After giving a few simple instructions, the waiter nodded with a humble smile, then closed the door and left silently.

The two people spoke in a very low voice, Lu Zao Zao couldn't hear clearly and didn't really want to listen.

Just look out the window and admire the scenery outside: the lotus leaves reaching to the sky, the lotus flowers reflecting the sun, the lush green bamboo forest, and the buzzing cicadas.

After a while, it suddenly started to rain. Sudden rain showers in summer are very common. Lu Zao Zao could feel the sound of raindrops hitting the window at an angle. The lush green outside was covered in a layer of fine rain threads, like a thin layer of smoke.

Lu Zao Zao opened the window a little and reached out to catch the raindrops falling from the sky. The raindrops fell on her hands, feeling cool. The red koi fish jumping in the pond outside all stretched their bodies and jumped up, knocking over the large ball of rainwater accumulated on the lotus leaves.

It was raining and windy outside, but it was peaceful and comfortable inside, as if the heaven and the earth were condensed in this piece of land. There was nothing to think about, and I felt very comfortable.

Lu withdrew his hand early and smiled silently.

Someone pushed the door open, making a slight sound. Lu turned his head back from the window early and found that Xie Huinian was also looking at the rain outside the window. He was a little dazed, but his eyes were very calm and peaceful.

In less than a second, or perhaps even less, he withdrew his gaze.

The dishes were not served quickly, but I felt that the waiting time was not too long. The dishes were exquisite and the presentation was very particular. Even the plates, spoons and bowls for eating were very delicate, like white jade and celadon, simple and quiet.

The portion of each dish was not large, but the quantity was not small. Lu Zao Zao glanced at them all and found that several of them were her favorites. She didn’t like the rest very much, but she could accept them. There was no fish, and she could only smell the rich aroma of food.

She thought Xie Huinian liked it and would definitely order one.

After Xie Huinian picked up the food with chopsticks first, Lu Zaozao followed closely behind. The taste of the food far exceeded her expectations, with a very good texture, not too salty or too bland, just right.

Halfway through the meal, the rain outside stopped, and the sky was clear, with bright clouds and endless blue.

At noon, the slightly stronger sunlight shone through the window, just illuminating the area where Lu Zaozao was sitting. However, the trees outside were lush and the temperature inside was just right, so Lu Zaozao did not feel any discomfort, but he had sat for too long and habitually swayed his body and moved his buttocks a little.

Then the whole room suddenly became dark, the heavy curtains were automatically closed tightly, and the sunlight was ruthlessly blocked out of the window.

A bright yellow light soon lit up inside, and the light had a very warm texture.

Lu Zao Zao blinked and then looked at Xie Huinian.

The other party was still eating, his movements were very slow and measured, but the food in the bowl was hardly touched and it looked like he had not taken many bites - Lu Zaozao was very suspicious that Xie Huinian had not been eating properly before, and no one knew what he was doing.

No wonder the disease has not been cured, this is most likely the reason.

Lu Zao Zao stared at Xie Huinian unconsciously, and noticed that he seemed to chew and swallow very slowly when eating, and seemed to have no desire to eat, so he blurted out: "How can you not eat well? It's not good for your health."

It was completely a conditioned reflex, because Li Jianan had been clamoring to lose weight for a while before, and Lu Zaozao had also advised her in the same way. Unexpectedly, she also said this to Xie Huinian inexplicably. Lu Zaozao's face wrinkled, and she wished she could bite her tongue to commit suicide at this moment.

Xie Huinian placed his chopsticks on the celadon chopstick holder, then looked up at her, ignoring what she had just said, and asked directly, "Do you know what day it is today?"

"I will give you back the days of waiting."

In the warm light, Xie Huinian's brows were calm, as deep as the ocean, as if he was still waiting for Lu Zao's answer.

"Children's Day." Lu Zao Zao answered fluently, and -

Your birthday.
