At six o'clock in the morning, Ai Liang opened her eyes on time in the high-end apartment. After getting dressed, she went to the bathroom and looked at the familiar face in the mirror.
Ai Liang, fourteen 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, and the key point is that he is still a 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 appear in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used the powerful 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 the backward productivity of the feudal era. Unable to 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 financially well-off. Their 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 much 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 family since he could remember. status.
The parents were not in love, just a business partnership, and his birth was just an accident one night. Because it was too late when discovered, and aborting it rashly 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. This place is just like a hotel to them. They have their own lovers outside and they usually stay there.
Ai Liang, whose parents died of illness in his previous life, thought he could experience the warmth of family affection in this life, but reality poured cold water on him. Their concern for Ai Liang was simply giving money. The monthly living expenses are very large, as if to say don't bother me if nothing happens.
Both lovers were very concerned about Ai Liang's existence. 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. It is not unacceptable for this kind of life experience that he has only seen in bloody TV series in his previous life to happen to him. It just makes his character a little withdrawn, but with the reflection in the mirror With a perfect appearance, this flaw would only be described as cold by classmates.
After picking up her mobile phone and changing into shoes, Ai Liang closed the apartment door and went downstairs and walked a few hundred meters to a breakfast shop outside another community.
"Morning, Ai Liang, are you also going to make small steamed buns and tofu buns today?" The boss smiled kindly when he saw Ai Liang coming in.
"Yeah, I want something sweet."
"I'm a little busy now. You can serve it by yourself."
The boss was busy making noodles. He asked the waiter to help and 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 a little more than half a bowl of tofu with a spoonful of sugar. He didn't eat much, but filling too much would be a waste.
The person who talked to Ai Liang was the owner of this store. He has been eating breakfast in this store since he was in elementary school and has never changed. It can be said that the owner has watched him grow up for eight years.
"The boss is here to steam the steamed buns! 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 photo of a dozen yuan change at the front desk and shouted.
"Old Sun, look what you said, I made these freshly made before dawn this morning. They were just steamed." The boss seemed to know this middle-aged man, he said with a smile, and then asked from the front desk I picked the middle steamer basket from a pile and handed it to him. Just as 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 a few times in the pot to turn over the vermicelli and meat slices. He then scooped up the meaty parts with half a spoon until the soup bowl was about to overflow before letting go.
After serving the spicy soup, the mustache pulled seven or eight napkins in succession, tore one of the napkins in half and pretended to wipe his fingers, then folded the remaining seven and a half and put them in the old one. After pocketing his suit, he came to the aisle and sat down with the bowl of spicy soup full of beef and vermicelli.
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 ran in in a hurry and slipped when he passed Xiaohu.
"Ouch! Walking makes you feel better!" The hot spicy soup that had reached the edge of the bowl spilled a lot after such a collision, and the mustache at the corner of his mouth was twitching as he frowned.
"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 mustache 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 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 phone."
"Hey? I'm going! Why did my phone go to you!" Mustache first touched his pocket and screamed, then grabbed the phone from Ai Liang's hand and stared at him with an unkind expression. This scream instantly shocked the store. All the guests' eyes were attracted.
"The bun buyer just took it out of your pocket, and I just got it back from him." Ai Liang didn't mind the mustache's movements, and saw that he was hesitant to speak and then said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the boss. Adjust the surveillance. The person just fell down next to you on purpose and took his phone out of your pocket. The surveillance should be able to see it from this angle."
"What's going on?" The boss heard Mustache's cry and came over. After a passerby explained it, the boss looked at Mustache with a tigerish face: "I said, Lao Sun, I'll help you get your phone back. What do you say?" Why are you suspicious of someone even if you don't even say thank you? You are not kind! Ai Liang has been living with me for several years and I know very well who he is!"
"That's right. If this guy stole your 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 and left a white fingerprint on the table, glaring at his mustache.
"Yes, yes, I'll report it right now." Mustache couldn't stand the crowd of people and walked down the steps to find an excuse to leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pack the buns in a plastic bag.
Looking at the moustachioed Ai Liang running away, he sighed softly. Just as 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'll pay for this meal. If Lao Sun really loses his mobile phone here, Then I will definitely have to fight with him again, so you have helped 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 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 it, you can ask the boss to monitor me. The boss also knows where I live. I have to go to class later and I don't have time to pester 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 be unable to find any 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 huge 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, and he didn't expect anything 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 still have something to do? Did you pull something off?" The boss was a little confused when he saw Mustache, who had left, come back.
"It's okay, Lao Luo, that young man often eats at your place, right?" Mustache sneakily crossed the counter and came to the kitchen.
"What, 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 the mustache in surprise. The two of them are also old neighbors, although he doesn't look like that. He looks like a good person, but he's not a bad person who wouldn't do anything terrible.
"Am I that person? I just want to mean it. Since he will come tomorrow morning, I will treat him to breakfast for the next two days." Mustache handed over the twenty yuan saved in his hand, "Does he have any?" The money is none of my business, but I have to show it no matter what I say to help me get my phone back."
"Come on, you should keep the hundreds of dollars for one dialysis session for yourself." The boss glanced at me and continued to talk in a calm voice.
The mustache stood there with his mouth open and finally said nothing. He just stubbornly stuffed the money under the steamer and held it down, waving to the boss with his back. 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.
"Alas...Old Sun is also a poor man. His good wife suddenly was 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 were anyone else, he would have divorced his wife long ago..."
"Yes, yes, his wife is usually very kind to others. She used to go to the mountainous area as a volunteer teacher. What do you think of the good people these days? Oh, God, 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 to super powers, telekinesis, mental manipulation, telekinesis, mind reading...etc. These are all manifestations of his abilities. Maybe this is him. Goldfinger after time travel?
However, this ability is still in the growth stage, and it is far different from those in the comics who 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 would only use mind reading to dig into other people's inner thoughts when he sensed someone with malicious intentions. If it was a criminal act, he would 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 will naturally lose the sense of accomplishment, just like a game, if you use a cheat device to maximize all attributes at the beginning, the life 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 five years old...
drop! Didi! The sound of the car's horn brought Ai Liang's thoughts back to reality. He looked up at the electronic screen in the car. The next stop was school.
