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

Finally they got in the car. Lu Zaozao and Xie Huanian sat at the two ends of the car. The trees flashed past their eyes like frames in a movie.

There had been a heavy rain not long ago, so the leaves were shining with green light, like some high-quality green uncut jade. One by one, they were condensed into a group and hung on the treetops. Looking up from the ground, they looked like a green embellishment in the vast sky.

Lu Zaozao could occasionally see Xie Huinian's face in the light reflected from the dim glass. The other person seemed to be staring at the scenery outside the window very seriously, but also seemed not to be.

In short, his eyes were very focused and motionless.

The car drove a long way and the scenery outside the window changed from endless green mountains and clear waters to towering skyscrapers, and the crowd gradually increased from sparse.

The car stopped at the traffic light. Looking at the road, there were still many children with bright smiles on their faces, holding their parents' hands, walking calmly and briskly across the zebra crossing.

The green light will turn green in three seconds, and we will set off again. The moment the color changes, the car makes a honking sound. There are sprinkler trucks coming towards us on both sides of the road, and the spray of water creates rainbows in the scorching sun.

"I regret it." Xie Huinian said suddenly.

"……what?"

Lu Zao Zao withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Xie Huinian, but Xie Huinian still maintained the same posture as before, without looking at her, and just said: "Accompany me to another place, I need your help."

"Ok."

Lu Zao Zao gladly accepted it, without any displeasure at all about Xie Huinian's change of mind. She just felt relaxed that she could finally help Xie Huinian. It could be considered that she could barely repay the favor Xie Huinian had saved her last time.

Xie Huinian took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the Bluetooth automatically connected to the car navigation to change the route. The driver drove very smoothly all the way until they arrived at the designated location.

It was not until Lu got off the car early and saw where Xie Huanian brought her to that she frowned slightly. It turned out to be a jewelry handicraft shop.

The service staff led him inside and he looked carefully at the decoration and setting. It was obviously not the same restaurant, but it made Lu's palms go numb, and he had a ridiculous illusion that time and space were going backwards and the scene was recreated.

I clenched my palms unconsciously, and it seemed as if a breath of air was being stuffed into my chest.

Xie Huinian, who was standing aside, had a calm expression and listened leisurely and contentedly to the staff's explanations, introductions and recommendations.

A few minutes later, Xie Huinian asked, "Did you hear it clearly?"

Lu Zaozao didn't say anything, just nodded, as if he was still stuck in his previous emotions.

It was not until the staff in the museum asked Lu Zaozao what she wanted to do that she was stunned for a moment and then suddenly came to her senses. She exhaled deeply and said to the other party politely, "Bracelet." She said casually, "It feels simple."

"If we talk about simplicity," the other party kindly reminded her, "rings should be easier to make."

Xie Huinian suddenly clenched his fist, put it to his lips, and coughed softly several times.

"..." After being stunned for half a second, Lu Zao Zao smiled and said, "No, let's just go with the bracelet."

Of course, she knew what was the easiest. If it was just a plain ring, she wouldn't even need a blueprint, and would just need to complete the basic casting process. But she really wasn't in the mood to make a ring right now.

Making a ring again in front of Xie Huinian was a very embarrassing thing for Lu Zaozao, even though he would probably never know that the original gift was a ring, and he would never know what Lu Zaozao was thinking when she made this ring.

And those were all things from the previous life. There were millions of people coming and going in this world, but she was the only one who still remembered such trivial things.

But Lu Zaozao still felt ashamed for a moment, as if his thoughts had been exposed, leaving no room for maneuver and exposed in front of the person involved.

Fortunately, times have changed and Lu Zaozao has become much more thick-skinned than before, so the shame was only momentary and quickly dissipated.

The staff brought her a lot of bracelet design drawings, a thick stack, with a very detailed production process attached. Lu Zao Zao picked and chose, and picked the simplest one. She decided to give it to Li Jianan after she was done, hoping that she would not dislike it when the time comes.

After all, Lu Zao Zao could tell with her feet that the finished product would not be very good-looking. Not only did she have no talent in this area, but her lower limit was also very low.

He was very focused when he was making it. Because it was going to be a gift for someone, he was fully focused and it took a long time. During this period, he had to forge, chisel and weld continuously before it was barely formed. Holding the tools for a long time and moving constantly, Lu Zao Zao felt that his entire elbow, shoulder and neck seemed to be sore.

And I wasn't using my right hand, which made it even more difficult.

Occasionally, I would see Xie Huinian out of the corner of my eye. He seemed to be doing it very skillfully and naturally. I didn't know what he was making, maybe a birthday present for me.

The next step is the polishing process. Lu rubbed his shoulders early, stretched his body, and then continued to work with his head down.

Suddenly, I heard Xie Huinian's voice. He should have finished, so there was no sound of tools working. "Have you solved the problem?"

"......?" Lu Zao Zao didn't look up and continued to polish, trying to catch up with Xie Huinian's progress. "What's the matter?"

"It's something that needs to be resolved at the hospital."

"..." Lu Zao Zao paused, his eyes subconsciously staring at his left wrist, and said in a calm voice: "It's solved."

"That's great." Xie Huanian continued, "Last night a patient was sent to the hospital. His hands were full of glass and the floor was covered in blood. His injuries were very serious."

I don’t know why Xie Huanian’s topic suddenly changed to such an exaggerated level, but Lu Zao Zao still answered.

"I know. I heard someone say it in the hospital elevator today. It sounded very pitiful."

"No need to be pitiful." Xie Huinian's voice was neither cold nor indifferent, without any emotion. "You should know him. After all, you have some intersections. You may know his name, Ji Siyuan."

With a "pop", Lu Zao Zao raised his head and looked at Xie Huinian in disbelief, trying to verify from the expression on his face whether what he had just said was true or false - it was true.

It turned out to be Ji Siyuan!

She murmured in shock: "...How could it be him?"

"It's normal for him to be the one." Xie Huinian's voice suddenly became a little cold, his pupils dark and deep, "Even if it wasn't him last night, sooner or later it will be his turn."

Lu Zao Zao blinked. Why did she not understand Xie Huinian's words again? But soon, she could no longer think about the cause and effect of this sentence, because she had something even more confusing. On the table in front of Xie Huinian -

There was a ring exactly the same as the one she had made.
