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

When going to school on Monday, Lu Zaozao was still in a state of chaos and confusion. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time last night before finally falling asleep. After falling asleep, he woke up intermittently and kept having dreams about his previous life.

He sat in his seat, without taking out his book, just staring blankly.

Until Li Jianan rushed in from the back door like a gust of wind, sat down on the stool, nudged her with his elbow, and said excitedly: "Hey, hey, hey, do you know that a big thing happened in the school?"

In fact, Lu Zao Zao had no interest in this, but Li Jianan had always been an expert at gossiping, so in order not to spoil the other party's interest, Lu Zao Zao patiently asked, "What's the matter?"

"hey-hey."

Li Jianan laughed wildly with glee, but He Feng behind him started to gossip impatiently, "Can you stop laughing first? Tell me what's going on."

"...Shut up!" Li Jianan sneered at him impatiently, then moved closer to Lu Zaozao and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "On Saturday, Ji Siyuan was taken away by a group of men in black. When he came out, he was sent to the hospital. I heard that the carpet in the corridor of the hotel was stained with blood."

Seeing that Lu Zao Zao didn't look too shocked, Li Jianan got a little anxious and raised his voice: "You don't recognize the name Ji Siyuan, right? He's the idiot who had a grudge against you and He Feng before."

"I know."

"Then why aren't you surprised?"

Because he had already been surprised once, just yesterday afternoon, and something even more surprising happened, so this matter seemed insignificant. Lu Zao Zao explained: "I overheard it on the way here this morning."

"Oh, that's it."

He Feng was so anxious that he stretched his head behind the two of them, like a turtle. "What Ji Siyuan? What happened to Ji Siyuan?" He wailed while pulling at Li Jianan's arm, "Just tell me!"

Li Jianan struggled to pull his arm out of He Feng's hand and snorted unhappily, "...He's in the hospital."

"Hahahahahaha, that's great." He Feng laughed particularly happily, "As expected, evildoers will be punished by evildoers. No, it should be said that evildoers will be punished by God."

After being reminded by Li Jianan, Lu Zaozao felt that the impression of yesterday afternoon's events was deepening in her mind, stirring her mood.

When he saw the ring on the table in front of Xie Huinian, he couldn't tell whether he was more panicked or confused, or maybe he had no such emotions at that moment - it was as if his brain was stuck in a knot, the program crashed, and the screen was black.

So he couldn't think anymore and could only stand there, staring at the ring for more than ten seconds before he reluctantly looked away.

Her mind was working slowly, wondering how Xie Huinian could make such a ring. The shape, size, and even the unevenness of the welding were almost the same as the one she had made before. If one only took a quick glance at it, one would have thought it was an identical ring.

With Xie Huinian's craftsmanship, he would not have made such a twisted and ugly ring, because he was an extremely meticulous and intelligent person. Even if he was assembling and manufacturing very sophisticated miniature model machinery, he could do it with ease and effortlessly.

Lu Zaozao was unable to conceal her confusion, so she stared at him, but Xie Huinian's eyes were firm, calm and natural, without a trace of abnormality.

At that moment, Lu Zao Zao had a strange and absurd idea - she even felt that Xie Huinian, like her, had traveled through time and been reborn from a certain point in time.

But this idea soon disappeared like a bubble on the sea, in broad daylight, without a trace.

Even if Xie Huinian was really reborn like her, the ring from his previous life had long been thrown into the trash can. Xie Huinian had never seen what it looked like. Even if he had seen it, he would probably think it was a useless piece of scrap metal and a burden.

So Lu comforted himself early on, and it seemed that this was the only way to comfort himself - coincidence, everything was just a coincidence.

Lu Zaozao kept reminding himself in his heart that this was just an absurd yet subtle coincidence, and tried his best to finish the work in his hands calmly, but he was totally unable to do so and kept on daydreaming unconsciously.

Fortunately, the bracelet is in the final stage, otherwise I don’t know what it would become and it definitely cannot be given to Li Jianan as a gift.

After some more time, Lu Zaozao finally finished the bracelet. The staff packed up the things the two had made and put them into a beautiful and exquisite gift box. Their eyes were a little complicated. Lu Zaozao guessed that this was probably the first time she saw a customer make such an ugly piece of jewelry. They were really a pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chick.

After walking out of the store, Lu Zao Zao asked, "Is this what you need my help with?"

"Yeah." Xie Huinian responded indifferently.

It seemed like a very simple thing. In fact, Xie Huinian could have done it alone. It would be the same with or without her. Perhaps he had stayed in the hospital for too long and just needed someone's company to help him kill some boring time - and today was his birthday.

Lu Zaozao was wondering whether or not to wish Xie Huinian a happy birthday. If the other party asked, he would say that he heard He Feng mention it by chance, or that he accidentally glanced at it when filling out the class form.

Because it is a special day, it is easy to remember.

In short, there are many reasons, and any one of them seems to be reasonable, and there are no major flaws to be found.

Xie Huinian was looking at the floating clouds in the sky. The high-rise buildings in the city cut the vast and high sky above into blocks of different shapes. It seemed that everything was imprisoned, and there was no freedom at all.

Lu Zaozao was thinking about how to wish Xie Huinian a happy birthday in a very natural way, when Xie Huinian had already fixed his gaze from the horizon on her face, his eyes as sharp as torches.

As a result, Lu Zao Zao forgot most of what he was going to say.

"For you."

Xie Huinian raised his wrist and handed the gift box he had just wrapped to Lu Zaozao. In an instant, Lu Zaozao forgot everything she was going to say. She didn't understand what Xie Huinian was going to do, so she didn't reach out to take it at that moment.

"Children's Day gift."

Xie Huinian's voice was calm, and except for a little hoarseness, there was nothing unusual about it. Then, in the gap between the two of them being silent, he called out Lu Zaozao's name again, in a low, deep voice that was somewhat alluring.

Lu Zao Zao hummed, and then heard Xie Huinian's complex expression, as if he was somewhat relieved, but also as if he was somewhat painful, saying:

"Consider it my repayment."
