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

But Lu Zao Zao had no reason to give this answer. This time point was easy to remember, not to mention it was Xie Huinian's birthday. For her in her previous life, she could remember many things about Xie Huinian very clearly no matter what time it was.

Over the years, some dates are like a string of runes hidden deep in my heart, written day after day, and thus cannot be forgotten.

She even remembered all the various competitions Xie Huinian had participated in before, even the smallest things that no one would have paid attention to.

For example, one day he wore a bright red dress, and that day was May 6th. Xie Huinian usually only wore clothes in black, white, gray, or blue. In short, they were all very basic colors and he basically never changed.

The red dress made Xie Huinian look fresh and bright, and it was also his favorite color, like a blazing flame.

That day in the vast crowd, Lu Zaozao's gaze would always inadvertently flash a bright red. Lu Zaozao realized belatedly that it might be because she had looked at him too many times intentionally or unintentionally.

One winter, when I was in my third year of high school, on January 9th, there was a heavy snowfall. In just one morning, the whole world turned into a clean, pure white blanket of snow.

It was almost winter vacation, and the college entrance examination would be held after the next semester. This might be the last heavy snow that all of them could see together.

Despite the howling cold wind and the chill, many people still went out to make snowmen and have snowball fights. Lu Zaozao was in poor health at that time, with frequent fevers and colds, so he stood quietly aside, wrapped his hat and scarf tightly, watching a group of people playing and fighting.

The world was quiet, the crowd was noisy, and all the laughter and joy blended into the snow that had been brewing for a winter. Lu Zaozao also felt very happy.

Occasionally, someone's snowballs would hit Lu Zaozao, and she would just reach out and brush them off, then move to another position. That day, Xie Huanian was wearing a white down jacket that almost blended in with the world, but Lu Zaozao could still easily spot him in the crowd.

After standing for a long time, Lu Zaozao's feet were numb and her whole body was frozen stiff. Lu Zaozao decided to return to the classroom. If she continued like this, she might have a high fever at night. She didn't want to hurt her body for such a thing and make her parents worry. It was really unnecessary.

Well, actually no one would worry about her, Lu Zaozao thought at that time in frustration.

The moment she turned around, something cold and wet was stuffed into Lu Zaozao's hand. She looked down and saw a very cute little snowman with a pointed carrot stuck in the middle of its face. It looked very funny, but there was a smile on the corner of its mouth.

Lu Zao Zao smiled and wanted to thank the classmate who gave her the snowman, but the classmate had already walked away and was still distributing snowmen to others. However, her snowman was a little special, with a scarf made of snow and a tall hat.

Lu Zaozao looked around and found a group of people making this kind of snowman on the ground not far away. Among them was Xie Huinian. It was incredible, as Xie Huinian always hated doing such things.

His hands were already red from the cold, but he was still working on it with great pleasure and a focused look on his face, as if he was making some complicated mechanical craft.

Lu Zaozao didn't know who among the group of people made this snowman for her. At this time, the snow was fluttering down again, and the sky was shining with crystal light. Lu Zaozao thought hopefully, just pretend that this snowman was made by Xie Huinian himself.

Living in this world and standing outside with Xie Huinian in a heavy snow, turning my jet-black hair into a pile of white hair, separated by the crowd, time, and sound, it can barely be considered a happy thing.

Lu Zaozao held the little snowman in his hands and walked across the white snow on the ground. When he returned home at night, he put it in the refrigerator. However, one day it would melt away and everything would return to nothingness, as if it had never existed.

There are too many little things like this. Lu remembered many time points early on. But now thinking about it, they don’t have much significance.

These little things from long ago are like pieces of frozen amber. Now that they are recalled from the depths of memory, they are still intact and there is nothing that can be changed.

Lu Zaozao tapped her palms with her fingertips, her expression still calm. She broke away from the distant memories and looked at Xie Huinian without any major disturbance.

Then he asked in a very natural and calm voice, as if he was really confused and bewildered, "Besides these two, is there anything else?"

As expected, if you tell so many lies, you can remain safe and sound no matter where you are or who you are talking to.

Xie Huinian's eyes narrowed, he shook his head, and his eyelashes blinked gently for a moment.

A few sharp cicada chirps came from the distance, like echoes in a quiet valley. After a few seconds of silence, they started again, as if proving that this summer would never stop.

Xie Huinian also looked at her, and then smiled inexplicably, but there was not much smile in his eyes, more likely a layer of confusion.

It's strange that I still feel a little bit at a loss.

However, Lu Zaozao was already thinking about something else at this moment - if Xie Huinian said at this moment that today was her birthday, then she would pretend to be surprised and say happy birthday sincerely. She was even thinking in her mind whether she should make an excuse to go to the mall later and buy him a birthday present as a token of her appreciation.

Then he thanked him again for saving him in the swimming pool last time - but why did he suddenly appear in the swimming pool at that time?

The thoughts in her mind were twisting and turning for hundreds of times. Suddenly, she came to her senses and found that Xie Huinian seemed to still be looking at her. Lu Zao opened her eyes wide and found that Xie Huinian picked up the chopsticks again and raised his eyebrows to glance at her.

"Let's eat."

"Yeah, yeah." Lu nodded vigorously. He had learned his lesson and decided not to say a word before finishing the meal.

After a while, Lu Zao had almost finished her breakfast and her stomach was full. The desserts and even the tea here were very much to her taste. It was a really satisfying meal.

Lu Zaozao felt that this was not a matter of helping Xie Huinian at all. Instead, she should be grateful to him. Could she ever repay this favor?

Lu Zaozao looked at Xie Huinian in confusion at this moment, and then found that he had not touched the food in his bowl and lowered his head. Then Lu Zaozao heard him call her name very softly, "Lu Zaozao."

"?"

He didn't raise his head to look at Lu Zaozao, nor did he wait for her answer, but just spoke in that light voice.

"Sometimes I feel like time goes by too fast, and sometimes I feel like time goes by too slow. Do you know why?"

"do not know."

Xie Huinian let out a faint laugh, "It's a secret."
