Thanks Justin! It Is asymmetric because the protein consists of a
outer-membrane domain and a transmembrane helix. I placed the protein
asymmetrically to let the transmembrane helix in the middle of the bilayer
(dppc128) and adjusted the size of box. I confirmed that by checking the
coordinates in the system.gro and system_inflated.gro. But after that step,
after I did 
" grompp -f minim.mdp -c system_inflated.gro -o confout.tpr -maxwarn 1"
and
"mdrun -deffnm confout -nt 1"
the coordinates of protein were dramatically changed, i.e. the protein was
totally away from the bilayer. 
I think that should be something wrong, but cannot find it.
