At six o'clock in the morning, Ai Liang opened his eyes on time in the high-end apartment. After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom and looked at the familiar face in the mirror.
Ai Liang, fifteen years old, is currently a middle school student.
This is his new identity after time travel.
The reason for time travel is ridiculous: diving to save someone turned into sacrificing love. The key is that he is still a fucking man.
After coming to this world, he has actually lived in this world for fourteen years from birth to now. It is said that his second life is almost the same, and the history of this world is also very different from his previous life.
Historically, divisions began to emerge from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used the strong national power at that time to unify the Asian continent, and built a large number of ships and fleets to invade other continents in an attempt to unify the world. Unfortunately, although the Tang Dynasty had a strong national power, no matter how strong it was, it would still be backward in the feudal era.
Productivity cannot support his ambition to dominate the world.
Naturally, the unified action failed, but this move stimulated the ambitions of other countries, and they followed Taizong's example and launched campaigns. Until the end of the 18th century, the last newly established independent country disappeared in North America, and the world was officially divided into five major political entities.
, the People's Federation in Asia, the Co-Prosperity League in Europe, the American Free Federation, the International Republic in Africa, and the West Country, which is semi-feudal and semi-capital due to its unique geographical location.
Ai Liang was born in Neihua City, Asia. Her father is a senior manager of a company and her mother owns a beauty salon. She belongs to a very wealthy family. Her parents have successful careers and are well off. Her children are sensible and have top academic scores. In the eyes of outsiders, this is happiness.
endorsement words.
This kind of family did not bring any happiness to Ai Liang, because no matter how the rotten mud was decorated, it could not change its dirty and ugly nature. Ai Liang, who had twenty years of life experience in his previous life, had discovered that he was in the house since he could remember.
status in the family.
The parents did not love each other, they were just a business partnership, and his birth was just an accident one night.
Because it was too late when discovered, and aborting it hastily would cause harm to the body, so the two had no choice but to formally become husband and wife.
Now that they have given birth to a child, they can only provide money to support them because of their reputation, but they have no intention of doing their own jobs as parents. When Ai Liang was young, they took turns hiring nannies to take care of them.
My parents don't go home very often. For them, this place is just like a hotel. They have their own lovers outside and they usually stay there.
Ai Liang, whose parents died of illness in his previous life, thought he would be able to experience the warmth of family affection in this life, but reality poured cold water on him. Their concern for Ai Liang was simply giving him money.
The monthly living expenses are very generous, as if to say don't bother me if nothing happens.
Both lovers were very concerned about Ai Liang's existence, and no one wanted to have another child after the divorce, so the parents' divorce procedures were delayed again and again, and this deformed family has been maintained to this day.
After all, Ai Liang has had twenty years of life experience. This kind of life experience that he only saw in bloody TV dramas in his previous life is not unacceptable if it happens to him, but it just makes his character a little withdrawn.
But coupled with his perfect appearance in the mirror, this flaw would only be described as cold by his classmates.
After picking up her mobile phone and changing her shoes, Ai Liang closed the apartment door and went downstairs. After walking a few hundred meters, she arrived at a breakfast shop outside another community.
"Morning, Ai Liang, are you also going to have Xiao Long Bao and Tofu Pudding today?" The boss smiled kindly when he saw Ai Liang coming in.
"Well, I want something sweet."
"I'm a little busy now. You can serve it by yourself."
The boss was busy making noodles and asked the waiter to help, and then brought Ai Liang a basket of freshly steamed buns instead of the ones placed at the front desk.
Ai Liang took the steaming steamer and put it on the empty table. He picked up a small bowl and filled it with a little more than half a bowl of tofu curd. He added a spoonful of sugar. He didn't eat much, but it would be a waste to eat more.
The person who talked to Ai Liang was the owner of this shop. He has been eating breakfast in this shop since he was in elementary school and has never changed. For eight years, the boss can be said to have watched him grow up.
"The boss wants steamed steamed buns when he comes! Plus a bowl of spicy soup!"
When Ai Liang was almost finishing breakfast, a short, middle-aged man with a middle parting and a beard, carrying a black leather bag, strode into the store, took a dozen dollars of change at the front desk and shouted.
"Old Sun, look what you said, I made these before dawn this morning. They were just steamed."
The boss seemed to know this middle-aged man, he said with a smile, then picked the middle steamer from a pile of steamers at the front desk and handed it to him.
Just when the boss was about to bring him a bowl of spicy soup, Mustache waved his hand and said: "Oh, you see there are so many people in the store, why don't you hurry up and make noodles? I can come by myself so as not to delay your business."
"That's it, I'll get busy first."
After the boss turned around, Mustache picked up a spoon and stirred it in the pot a few times, flipping the vermicelli and meat slices over, then scooping out the meaty parts with a half-spoon, until the soup bowl was almost overflowing before letting go.
After serving the spicy soup, the mustache pulled seven or eight napkins in succession, tore one of the napkins in half, pretended to wipe his fingers, and folded the remaining seven and a half and put them in the old bowl.
Then he took the bowl of spicy soup full of beef and vermicelli and came to the aisle to sit down.
Ai Liang had almost finished eating, and just as he was about to get up, he felt a wave of malice approaching quickly.
Xiaohu next to him had just sat down and had a few bites when a young man hurried in and passed by Xiaohu. His foot slipped.
"Ouch! Walking makes you feel better!"
The hot spicy soup that spilled to the edge of the bowl spilled a lot after such a collision. His brows were furrowed and the mustache at the corner of his mouth was twitching.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry, the boss is bringing the steamed buns!"
The young man straightened up from his moustache and bowed quickly to apologize, then stood in front of the counter and handed over a banknote.
Ai Liang stood up and stood behind the young man, waiting to pay the bill.
After getting the bun, the young man turned around suddenly and bumped into Ai Liang.
"I'm sorry." Ai Liang said first.
The young man who was about to apologize looked at him in surprise, said nothing, and hurried out.
After confirming that the young man had gone away, Ai Liang did not rush to pay. Instead, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and came to Xiaohu: "Your mobile phone."
"Hey? I'm going! Why did my phone go to you?"
Mustache first touched his pocket and screamed, then snatched the phone from Ai Liang's hand and stared at him with an unkind expression.
This shout instantly attracted the attention of all the customers in the store.
"The bun buyer just took it from your pocket, and I just took it back from him."
Ai Liang didn't mind Mustache's movements. Seeing how he was hesitant to speak, Ai Liang said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask your boss to adjust the monitoring. That person just fell down next to you on purpose and took out his cell phone from your pocket. This
The angle monitor should be visible.”
"What's going on?" The boss heard the mustache's cry and came over.
After the passers-by explained, the boss looked at the mustache with a tigerish face: "I'm telling you, Old Sun, I helped you get your phone back, but you didn't even say thank you, so why are you suspicious of them? You're not kind! Ai
Liangdu has been living with me for several years and I know very well who he is!"
"That's right. If this guy stole your cell phone, he would just leave. How could he come here and give it back to you?"
"Old Sun, I can't stand it anymore if you don't go find the thief and instead you are wronging a good person."
The guests also spoke up and stood by Ai Liang's side, making his mustache blush and turn white.
"I didn't say he stole it, I just asked!"
"Okay, okay, nothing is missing anyway, so stop talking about it. If you really want to catch the thief, report it to the police immediately."
The boss slapped the table, leaving a white fingerprint on the table, and glared at the mustache.
"Yes, yes, I will report it right now."
Mustache couldn't stand a group of people leaving him, so he found an excuse to leave along the steps, not forgetting to pack the buns in a plastic bag before leaving.
Looking at the moustachioed Ai Liang running away, he sighed softly. When he was about to take out his mobile phone to pay, the boss stopped him.
"Hey, there's no need to give it to me. I paid for this meal. If Lao Sun really loses his phone here, I will definitely have to argue with him again. You can be considered as helping me solve a troublesome matter."
When Ai Liang heard what the boss said, he nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he thanked the passers-by again.
"Thank you, I should thank you, hahaha." The boss originally wanted to raise his hand to pat Ai Liang's shoulder, but as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly realized that his hand was full of flour and put it back.
The customers in the store couldn't help but laugh softly when they saw the boss' hearty laugh.
Ai Liang had to catch the bus, so he walked out of the breakfast shop without being too polite to the boss. After taking only two steps, he saw Mustache, who had just run out, holding a bun and standing at the intersection, as if waiting for him.
"If you really don't believe me, you can ask your boss for monitoring. The boss also knows where I live. I have to go to class later and I don't have time to bother with you."
Hearing this, Mustache rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Little brother, I don't mean to be guilty, I just want to say thank you."
He opened his black leather bag and started rummaging around. He seemed to have no change, so he reluctantly took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it over, pretending to be dignified: "After all, you helped me find my phone, so I can't live without it."
Click to indicate that I invited you to the meal just now!"
He emphasized and deepened his tone on the word "please", as if he had made a great sacrifice.
Looking at the banknotes and slightly white nails handed over by Mustache, Ai Liang waved his hand.
Helping him get his phone back was just a matter of course, without expecting anything from him in return. We were all considered "acquaintances".
Mustache watched Ai Liang leave without calling him back, and returned to the breakfast shop with the buns in hand.
"What, Lao Sun, do you have anything else to do? Did you leave something behind?" The boss was a little confused when he saw Mustache, who had left, come back.
"It's nothing, Lao Luo. That young man often eats at your place, right?" Mustache sneaked over the counter and came to the kitchen.
"Why, do you really want to call the police? You see that the shoes and pants he is wearing are all brand-name goods and you want to make a fortune, right?"
The boss looked at Mustache in surprise. They were also old neighbors. Although he didn't look like a good person, he wasn't such a bad person that he wouldn't do anything serious.
"Am I that person? I just want to be polite. Since he is coming tomorrow morning, I will treat him to breakfast for the next two days."
Mustache handed over the twenty yuan he had saved in his hand: "Whether he has money or not is none of my business. I have to show my kindness no matter what I say when he helps me get my phone back."
"Come on, you should keep the hundreds of dollars for one dialysis session for yourself." The boss took a glance and continued to say angrily.
The mustache stood there with his mouth open and finally did not say a word. He just stubbornly stuffed the money under the steamer and pressed it, turning his back to the boss and waving.
It was completely different from the elite demeanor he had when he first entered the store. At this time, his back looked like an old man in his twilight years.
"Oh, old Sun is a poor man too. His good wife was suddenly diagnosed with uremia." The parent who was taking his children to eat next to him sighed.
Most of the people who come here to eat are neighbors in the community, and they have heard more or less about the mustache situation.
"Old Sun may not be very good-looking, but he is a kind and loving man. If it had been anyone else, he would have divorced his wife long ago."
"Yes, yes, his wife is usually very kind to others. She used to work as a volunteer teacher in the mountainous area. How can you say that there are so many good people these days? Alas, what happened to her."
Ai Liang silently withdrew his mental energy after hearing this.
Yes, Ai Liang is not an ordinary person. On his fifth birthday, he awakened superpowers, telekinesis, mental control, telekinesis, mind reading, etc. These are all manifestations of his abilities. Maybe this is his golden finger after time travel?
However, this ability is still in the growth stage, and it is far different from those beings in comics who can destroy a city at every turn and smash the planet with their bare hands.
Well, the future is promising.
Ai Liang usually has very strict requirements on himself. He will never read minds randomly, let alone control other people's thoughts, because this kind of thing is like a forbidden fruit, which can only be done zero or countless times. He doesn't want to be alone in the future.
Facing a collapsing world.
Ai Liang will only use mind reading to dig into other people's inner thoughts when he detects someone with malicious intentions. If it is a criminal act, he will stop it secretly before reporting it to the police, and then report it to the police.
In the beginning, he enjoyed it, but gradually he got tired of it. Being able to read other people's thoughts meant that there were no surprises. Things that others had to go through difficulties to get were easily available to him with superpowers.
Then he naturally lost his sense of accomplishment.
Just like a game, if you use a cheat to maximize all the attributes at the beginning, the lifespan and fun of the game will be lost in a very short period of time.
But these are not the key. The real reason that changed his character from somewhat withdrawn to gloomy and introverted was the winter when he was six years old.
Beep! Beep! The sound of the car's horn brought Ai Liang's thoughts back to reality. He raised his head and looked at the electronic screen in the car. The next stop was school.
