From then on, my aunt never set foot in Tao Zhi's room again.

The nanny didn't close the door properly until the two-year-old brother curiously entered the room and staggered with his short legs towards Tao Zhi who was in the wheelchair.

Tao Zhi heard the noise, stopped dictating the novel, and put his phone on the table.

Tao Zhi rubbed his brother's furry little head and listened to his mumbling responses to his questions. A long-lost warmth rose in his heart and he felt happy.

The aunt rushed over and hurriedly hugged the brother into her arms.

she says.

"He's your brother, what are you going to do with him?"

Yes, he is my brother, and I am just a cripple who can't take care of himself, what do you think I would do to him?

The aunt's defensiveness and fear made Tao Zhi feel cold in his heart, as if a heavy object was falling and hitting the softest corner of his chest.

Although he had hidden this corner in the deepest place, it was still beaten to a bloody mess by just a few words.

She was only reasonably questioning human nature, only instinctively protecting her children, and only pushing herself, who was already labeled as an outlier, back an inch.

Why are you sad?

What right do I have to be sad?

At this point, are you still expecting something ridiculous from family affection?

My aunt was pushed out of the room by Tao Zhi's harsh words. When the door closed, the room returned to its usual silence.

Tao Zhi picked up the phone and called on the voice assistant to read the novel review.

"Sisters, I'm quitting this novel first. This novel is really too brainless, clichéd, and bloody. It has no nutritional value. I just can't read it anymore."

"What? Can the protagonist be more mature? He doesn't seem to grow up at all from the beginning to the end. He acts like a monster every day. He is so stupid and hypocritical. It makes me so annoyed. And his brother has to clean up everything. It's really stupid."

"Am I the only one who wants to complain about the protagonist's name? Tao Zhi, I can come up with a better name by stepping on any page of the dictionary. Who else would give a protagonist such a perfunctory and cannon fodder name?"

"The author's writing is poor, the plot doesn't have any highlights, there are many logical problems, and the character design of the protagonist is so greasy that it's really off-putting."

"No, what right does Tao Zhi have? Is there anything about him that is worthy of the perfect Xu Yanze's love? Without the identity of the young master of the Tao family, he is nothing, and he doesn't look like a protagonist at all."

"I feel like it's more like Tao Zhi is a scumbag cannon fodder, the kind that relies on his wealth to do whatever he wants and ends up getting slapped in the face by the protagonist."

"What is the meaning of this kind of novel? To satisfy a poor author's powerless fantasy and extravagant desire for money and wealth?"

"The overbearing president used safflower oil and Yunnan Baiyao when he was injured, and he only dared to write 50,000 yuan on the check. How ignorant is the author?"

"Author, why don't you go back to the construction site and carry bricks? I'm afraid you are not suitable for writing novels. Your words make me physically uncomfortable."

"I feel that the supporting character Gong Cheng is more in line with the normal protagonist's personality. He struggles and grows in adversity, and makes himself better and better through his own efforts. This kind of positive character is suitable to be the protagonist and is more worthy of being loved. Otherwise, why don't the author consider changing the protagonist?"

"Tao Zhi doesn't deserve the happiness he has, nor is he qualified to be the protagonist."

Laughter suddenly broke out in the room. Tao Zhi was shaking with laughter. He tilted his head back and smiled exaggeratedly, but tears dripped down his chin onto the screen of his mobile phone. The mechanical and cold voice of the voice assistant continued to broadcast the comments word by word.

When the smile on Tao Zhi's face finally fell, Tao Zhi clenched his fists, lowered his head and bit his lips to hold back the sobs, but the sobs still poured out from between his lips and teeth.

Yes, I should have known long ago that I had no right to give the protagonist such a vulgar name as "Tao Zhi".

Whether in reality or in imaginary novels, people like me are not qualified to become the shining so-called protagonist.

You can only forever be that disgusting alien who harms others and yourself, and stays in the corner like a rat, spying on and envying the happiness of others.

"Voice assistant." Tao Zhi shouted while choking.

"I'm here. How can I help you?" the voice assistant asked.

"Open the edit page." Tao Zhi replied.

"The editing page has been opened for the owner. Please explain what needs to be edited." said the voice assistant.

Tao Zhi weakly dictated the revised content, and when he finished dictating, the voice assistant verified it and posted it online.

As he grew older, Tao Zhi clearly realized that his body was reaching its limit. If he continued like this, he would become a body without dignity, lying in bed at the mercy of others, waiting for death to come.

If this is the case, it would be better for you to choose the point where all the pain ends yourself.

That day, white locust flowers were spread on the windowsill, and the fragrance flowed in with the wind.

The nanny brought the meal into the room. Today's lunch seemed to be pancakes. Tao Zhi picked up the pancake and took a bite, looking a little dazed.

"Sophora japonica pancakes?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Correct."

"Madam heard from your husband that you used to like eating these pancakes very much, so she specially invited a chef from your hometown to come home." said the nanny.

Tao Zhi said nothing, just lowered his eyes and put the slightly burnt and bitter pancake into his mouth.

Seeing Tao Zhi continuing to eat, the nanny's eyes fell on the aunt who was peeking out of the door with expectant eyes. The aunt was smiling at this time and stretched out her hand to signal the nanny to continue talking quickly.

"Master, this is the season for the Sophora japonica flowers to bloom. I heard that the Sophora japonica flowers at Daoyuan Temple are in particularly good shape. Daoyuan Temple is very spiritual and will answer any prayer."

"Madam and Mr. are going to Daoyuan Temple to play tomorrow. Do you want to go with them to relax?" the nanny asked cautiously.

There was a hint of emotion in Tao Zhi's eyes. Seeing Tao Zhi's cold and unmoved look, the nanny looked helplessly at the aunt at the door.

There was inevitably disappointment in the aunt's eyes.

"Okay." Tao Zhi said softly.

The nanny was stunned when she heard this. The aunt at the door looked at Tao Zhi in a daze. When she saw the faint smile on Tao Zhi's lips, she almost thought she had heard it wrong.

"The weather forecast says tomorrow will be good, so I can go out and bask in the sun." Tao Zhi said gently.

The next day, in Daoyuan Temple, Auntie and Dad Tao were dumbfounded at the endless staircase.

Is this Daoyuan Temple, where everything is answered? The long staircase in front of me didn't even give me a chance to pray to the gods. Tao Zhi thought to himself.

The aunt looked annoyed. She had only heard that the locust flowers in Daoyuan Temple were in full bloom, but she had not learned about the situation inside the temple in advance. She had never expected that there would be steps at the entrance.

Tao's father was thinking about finding someone to carry Tao Zhi up, while his aunt was thinking about moving to the next attraction.

"It's all my fault for not understanding it clearly. Let's go to another nearby temple. The locust flowers there are not inferior to those in Daoyuan Temple. I looked and there are no steps there." Aunt said guiltily.

"You guys go upstairs, I'll wait for you downstairs." Tao Zhi said.

"That won't work. I'll contact someone to carry you up," said Tao's father.

"No need. It's the same to me whether it's on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain. No matter how beautiful the locust flowers on the mountain are, I'm just a blind man."

"You guys go by yourselves. I came out just to bask in the sun. Just put me in a sunny place." Tao Zhi said.

In the end, Auntie and Mr. Tao went up the stairs, and the nanny left to push Tao Zhi to a huge locust tree to wait.

The area under the locust tree is also interesting, with a conspicuous sign in the middle that reads "Half-immortal fortune-telling, revealing the secrets of heaven."

On the right, the police hung a red anti-fraud propaganda banner that read "Beware of being cheated, feudal superstition is not acceptable."
