A friend once said to me suddenly during class one day: "I think Yan Zheng is the kind of person who will never take the initiative."
"Huh? What are you talking about."
"In the new world in the novel, you will definitely not be the protagonist, but more likely to be the protagonist's partner."
I was amused by his statement, because who doesn't wish that he could be the protagonist of the world?
At that age, I often imagined that the world would be destroyed or that I would have super powers. If I were suddenly told that I was just a supporting role, no one would be too happy.
He saw my emotions and continued with a smile: "Because you will definitely not take the initiative to take over or undertake important tasks. If someone steps forward before you and has similar ideas to you, then you will definitely follow them with excitement, right?"
"What the hell is this surging heartbeat..."
The protagonist's companion, supporting character, etc.
But when I think about it, what he said is indeed true. I am indeed such a person, so I accepted when he said that I was not the protagonist. Moreover, I am also very lucky, and life has taught me this.
My existence in this vast world may be an NPC, not even a supporting role.
Later that friend moved away, and I lived with this idea for more than ten years, until one day I found a mirror.
A voice inside said to me.
"Yan Zheng, take off your glasses."
"You're not nearsighted at all."
This nonsense sentence became the beginning of the breakdown of my life.
