"Classmate Liu Nan?" He Ao picked up the bag and handed it to her, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. Not yet."
Liu Nan replied subconsciously.
"Me neither."
He Ao smiled and shrugged. As a student, Liu Nan would inevitably panic when encountering such a situation, so he kept chatting to ease Liu Nan's mood. However, it seemed that Liu Nan was quite courageous and was not too frightened.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. A small group of police officers broke into the alley in an instant, escorting the two "enthusiastic citizens" who had just run away. When they looked up, they saw Liu Nan talking to him.
He Ao and the gangster lying unconscious on the ground.
"Captain Liu," He Ao excitedly greeted the middle-aged policeman in the lead. Then, before the middle-aged policeman could say anything, he immediately added, "Class C wanted criminal, Zhang Shi'an, 10,000 yuan."
"I know, I know," Team Liu smiled and waved his hands, instructing the police behind him to handcuff Zhang Shi'an who was lying on the ground, "I know you won't be so active if you don't have money, so don't do something so dangerous next time.
Something happened."
"Hey, I got it." He Ao showed a harmless smile.
"Classmate He Ao?" At this moment, Liu Nan, who was still a little dazed, finally reacted and looked at He Ao who was talking to the police, "Do you know me?"
"Hmm, you're the study committee member of Class 1. I helped you pick up your pens in the morning. That's considered an additional service, so there's no extra charge." He Ao nodded, and then took out a black pen from the side pocket of the schoolbag behind him.
Turn the notebook to the middle page and hand it to Liu Nan, "Classmate Liu Nan, sign your name and leave your phone number."
Liu Nan took the notebook in a daze and looked at the various names and phone numbers written on it. Some she recognized, some she didn't recognize, some names had a check mark after them, and some names had no marks at all.
She hesitated for a moment before writing her name and phone number on it.
"Classmate He, what's the use of this?"
She handed the book back and asked with some confusion.
"It's useless," He Ao smiled and took back the notebook, "Look, I saved you once and we didn't even eat. Isn't it too much for you to treat me to a meal?"
"It's not too much..." Although Liu Nan thought this request was a bit strange, she still nodded slightly, "Shall we go eat later?"
"There's no rush," He Ao counted the names on the notebook, "You haven't been queued yet. I'll give you a call when I am."
"Are all the people in this book you have saved before?" Liu Nan asked, finding that He Ao didn't seem to be that difficult to get along with and became a little bolder.
"Some are, some aren't."
He Ao closed the book and put it in the side pocket of his schoolbag.
"Then..." Although Liu Nan thinks it's okay to treat people to a meal, she often invites people to eat, but, "You saved me, just a meal is enough?"
"Huh?" He Ao frowned and looked Liu Nan up and down carefully, "Do you think Mr. Liu wants to play the trick of promising himself with his body? You don't call it repaying a favor, you call it revenge!"
Liu Nan:???
"He Ao," but before Liu Nan could say anything, the police leader called out, "Where is this fugitive from?"
"Here he comes," He Ao has always been very positive about his sponsors. He said as he walked away, "Fugitive number C121574024, coming from Liangzhou, human trafficker."
Liangzhou is located in the northwest of the Republic of China, more than a thousand kilometers away from the Western Capital where He Ao is currently located.
"You have such a good memory," Captain Liu patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the police officer next to him who was taking notes, "Have you written it down?"
"take note of it."
The police officer nodded slightly. Just now, He Ao read the number word for word to make it easier for him to remember.
"Liu Nan, you are here," a short-haired girl called from behind, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay," Liu Nan was stunned, turned her head blankly, touched her delicate cheek, and asked softly, "Nanny, am I ugly?"
At this time, He Ao, who had finished talking with Captain Liu, glanced at Liu Nan, who was already accompanied by someone, and left quietly.
He is not good at dealing with this kind of social interaction. It is a waste of time and meaningless to him.
He Ao's home is not far away, right next to the university. After bypassing an alley in front, he arrived at the gate of the community.
At this moment, a takeaway boy was standing at the door and pacing, looking inside the community from time to time. He had been waiting for several minutes.
"Thanks."
He Ao stood in front of the little brother, thanked the little brother, and took the cake from the little brother's hand. The slightly cold feeling passed along the carton to his fingertips, and then he walked step by step towards the depths of the community.
Go.
The delivery boy also got on the eDonkey and was about to leave. However, as soon as his eDonkey started, he was stopped by a figure in a crisp suit.
"Excuse me, have you seen this person just now?"
——
Climbing up the old stairs to Unit 3, 502, He Ao took out the key and opened the door to the empty home.
Enter the house, close the door, and hang up the anti-theft chain.
Today is his birthday.
He Ao put the cake on the old table and glanced at the quartz watch in his hand.
Eighteen years ago today, he would come to this world in one hour.
Few people can remember the exact time of their birth, but He Ao is an exception, although he doesn't really want to be this exception.
7:32:56 pm, the time he was born.
He Ao moved his eyes, and all the scenery in his eyes moved accordingly. However, in the lower right corner of his field of vision, there was a place where the scene remained unchanged. No matter how He Ao moved his eyes, it was still there.
It was a series of gray translucent beating numbers.
A countdown consisting of hours: minutes: seconds, starting from the second he was born, has been beating to the present.
157,799 hours without stopping for a moment.
At this moment, the countdown is approaching 01:00:00, the last hour.
For a long time, He Ao thought it was the countdown to his death and lived in fear every day, but now he has long been accustomed to the existence of this countdown.
He divided the cake into many pieces with a knife, and then calmly ate the entire cake piece by piece, calmly watching the string of numbers keep beating.
00:00:01
Survival or death, there is always a result.
Bang bang bang——
There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the crisp sound of the lock cylinder turning. With a creaking sound, the old security door was slowly pushed open.
00:00:00
At this moment, time returned to zero, and He Ao's eyes went dark.

【Yes】【No】
A page similar to a computer pop-up advertisement appeared in his field of vision.
So what has followed me for eighteen years is this game?
It’s ridiculous. How can I, a good and law-abiding person, find life boring?
He Ao sneered and chose [Yes]
