Chapter 1 Ai Liang

At six o'clock in the morning, Ai Liang opened his eyes on time in the high-end apartment, put on his clothes, and then went to the bathroom to look at the familiar face in the mirror.

Ai Liang, fourteen years old, is currently a middle school student.

This is his new identity after traveling through time.

The reason for traveling through time is very bloody: diving to save people will lead to committing suicide. The key is that he is still a man...

After coming to this world, he has lived in this world for fourteen years since he was born. It is still the same as the second person, and the history of this world is also very different from his previous life.

In history, differentiation began to occur since the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Tang used his strong national strength to unify the Asian continent and built a large number of ship fleets to invade other continents to attempt to unify the world. Unfortunately, although the Tang Dynasty's national strength was strong, no matter how strong it was, the backward productivity in the feudal era could not support his ambition to unify the world.

The unified action was naturally a failure, but this action stimulated the ambitions of other countries, and they followed Taizong's example and launched a large-scale war. 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 bodies, the People's Federation of Asia, the European Union of Prosperity, the American Free Federation, the International Republic of Africa, and the Kingdom of Theo, which was semi-feudal and semi-capital due to its unique geographical location.

Ailiang was born in Neihua, Asia. His father is a senior management of a company. His mother opened a beauty salon. He belongs to a very wealthy family. His parents have a successful career and a wealthy economy. His children are sensible and have top academic performance. In the eyes of outsiders, this is the endorsement of happiness.

This kind of family did not bring any happiness to Ailiang, because no matter how decorated the rotten mud cannot change its dirty and ugly nature. Ailiang, who has twenty years of life in his previous life, discovered his status in the family from the beginning of his memory.

Both parents did not fall in love, they were just a business partnership, and their birth was just an accident one night. Because it was too late to find out, and rashly aborting it would cause harm to the body. There was no way for the two to be married in form. Since they had given birth to their children, they could only pay for their support due to their reputation, but they did not plan to do their parents' jobs at all. When Ailiang was young, they took turns to ask nanny to take care of them.

My parents don’t go home very much. This place is just a hotel for them. They have their own lovers outside and stay there usually.

Ai Liang, who died of illness in his previous life, thought he could experience the warmth of family affection in this life, but reality poured him a basin of cold water. Their concern for Ai Liang was simply to give money. Every month, he would give a lot of living expenses, as if he was saying that he would not bother me if he was fine.

Both lovers are very concerned about Ai Liang's existence, and no one wants to take care of another child after the divorce, so the divorce procedures of their parents have been 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 had only seen in bloody TV series in his previous life was not unacceptable. It just made his personality a little withdrawn. However, with his perfect appearance in the mirror, this flaw will only be described as cold by his classmates.

After taking the phone to change my shoes, Ailiang closed the apartment door and walked downstairs for a few hundred meters to reach the breakfast shop outside another community.

"Good morning Ailiang, today is Xiaolongbao and tofu brain?" The boss showed a kind smile when he saw Ailiang enter the door.

"Yeah, it's sweet."

"Now you're a little busy for a while, please give it your own."

The boss was busy kneading the dough, and asked the waiter to help him get a hand and then brought Ai Liang a basket of freshly steamed buns instead of the ones at the front desk.

Ai Liang took the steaming steamer and put it on the empty table. He picked up a small bowl and served more than half a bowl of tofu brain and added a spoonful of sugar. It would be a waste if he didn't eat much.

The one who talked to Ai Liang was the owner of this store. He had been having breakfast in this store since he was in elementary school and never changed it. For eight years, the boss could be said to have watched him grow up.

"The boss came to cage the buns, and they need to be steamed! Add a bowl of Hula soup!"

When Ailiang was almost finished breakfast, a short middle-aged man with a middle-parted and a black leather bag with a beard strode into the store and took a dozen dollars in change and shouted.

"Old Sun, look at what you said. These are all made from me before dawn this morning. They were steamed not long ago." The boss seemed to know the middle-aged man, and he smiled and then picked a cage in the middle from a steamer at the front desk and handed it to him. Just as the boss was about to bring him a bowl of hot soup, Xiaomou waved his hand and said, "Oh, you see there are so many people in the store, so why don't you hurry up and go and I'll come by myself and don't delay your business."

"That's right, I'll go ahead."

After the boss turned around, Xiaomouqi picked up a spoon and stirred it in the pot for a few times to turn the vermicelli and slices up, and then scooped half a spoonful of meat and half a spoonful of meat until the soup bowl was about to overflow.

After serving the Hula soup, Xiaomai pulled seven or eight napkins in succession, tore one of the napkins in half and wiped his fingers in a pretense. The remaining seven and a half pieces were folded into the old suit pocket before she took the bowl of beef and the Hula soup full of vermicelli to the aisle.

Ai Liang had almost eaten it. As soon as he was about to get up, he felt a malicious intention approaching quickly.

The bearded man next to him had just sat down and had a few bites when a young man hurriedly ran in and slid his feet when he passed by the beard.

"Ouch! Walk with a little more attention!" Hu La soup that was floating around the bowl was spilled out after a bump, and his beard frowned at the corner of his mouth was jumping.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry, the boss takes the buns!" The young man stood up from his beard and bowed quickly to apologize, then stood in front of the counter and handed over a piece of paper money.

Ai Liang stood up and stood behind the young man, waiting for the payment.

After getting the bun, the young man turned around and collided with Ai Liang.

"I'm sorry." Ai Liang said first.

The young man who was just about to apologize looked at him in surprise, but without saying a word, hurriedly ran out.

After confirming that the young man had gone away, Ai Liang did not rush to pay, but took out a cell phone from his pocket and came to Xiaomou's face. "Your cell phone."

"Hey? I'll go! Why did my phone run away from you?" Xiaomoulded first touched his pocket and screamed, then snatched the phone from Ai Liang's hand and stared at him with a bad face. This call instantly attracted all the eyes of the customers in the store.

"The one who bought the bun just now walked out of your pocket, I just got it back from him." Ai Liang didn't mind the movements of the beard. He looked at his silence but stopped and then spoke: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the boss to adjust the surveillance. The person just now deliberately fell beside you and walked out of your pocket to get the phone out of your pocket. The surveillance angle should be visible."

"What's wrong?" The boss heard the cry of the bearded man and rushed over. After passing by the passerby, the boss looked at the beard with a face: "I said Lao Sun, I'll help you get your phone back. Why don't you say thank you? You are not kind enough to be a good person! I know who Ai Liang has been having dinner here for several years!"

"That's right, if someone steals your cell phone and leaves, why wouldn't he come over and return it to you?"

"Old Sun, if you don't go to find a thief, I can't stand it anymore."

The guests also spoke and stood on Ai Liang's side, and his beard turned red and white.

"I didn't say he stole it, I'll ask!"

"Okay, okay, I haven't lost anything anyway, don't pull it. If you really want to catch a thief, report the case quickly." The boss slapped the table and left a white handprint on the table, staring at his beard.

"Yes, yes, I'll report the case now." Xiaomouqi couldn't help but scold the crowd and found a reason to leave along the steps. Before leaving, she didn't forget to pull a plastic bag to pack the buns.

Looking at the scattered bearded Ai Liang sighed softly at the runaway man who was about to pay for his mobile phone, but the boss stopped him, "Hey, don't give it, I'll take this for me. If Lao Sun's mobile phone is really lost, I will definitely argue with him again when I go away. You can also help me solve a problem."

When Ai Liang heard the boss say this, he nodded politely to him and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he thanked the passersby next to him again.

"What are you thanking? I should thank you, hahaha." The boss wanted to raise his hand to pat Ai Liang on the shoulder, but as soon as he lifted his hand, he suddenly realized that his hands were covered with flour and put them back.

The customer in the store couldn't help but chuckled softly when he looked at the boss's hearty laughter.

Ai Liang also had to catch the bus, so he didn't be too polite to the boss and walked out of the breakfast shop. After walking for a few steps, he saw the bearded man who had just run out with a bun standing at the intersection as if waiting for him.

"If you really don't believe it, you can ask the boss to adjust the surveillance camera and the boss knows where I live. I will have class later and I don't have time to bother you."

Hearing this, Xiao Wangzi rubbed her hands awkwardly and said, "Little brother, I don't mean anything, I just want to say thank you."

He opened the black leather bag and started to rummage. It seemed that he had not found any change. He reluctantly took out a twenty-year-old piece and handed it over and said in a pretentious manner: "No matter how you said you also helped me get my phone back. I can't say nothing without saying that I invited the meal just now!"

He emphasized the deepening of his tone on the word "Ask" as if he had made a great sacrifice.

Looking at the banknotes handed over by Xiaowang and her slightly white nails, Ai Liang waved his hand. Helping him get his phone back was just a matter of doing it, and he didn't expect anything he could repay. Everyone was considered an "acquaintance".

The bearded man looked at Ai Liang's leaving figure and did not stop him. He carried the bun and returned to the breakfast shop.

"What, Lao Sun, do you have something to do? Is the thing pulled down?" The boss was a little confused when he saw the leaving beard coming back.

"It's nothing, Lao Luo, that young man often eats with you, right?" The beard sneaked over the counter and came to the kitchen.

"Why, do you really want to call the police? It's because he looks at the shoes and pants he wears are all famous brands, right?" The boss looked at Xiaowang in surprise. The two of them were old neighbors. Although he didn't look like a good person, he was not a big villain who wouldn't do anything to turn things around.

"Am I that person? I just want to make a wish. Since I'm coming tomorrow morning, I'll treat him to breakfast two days later." Xiao Wang's handed over the twenty dollars he saved in his hand. "It doesn't matter whether he has money or not. I have to express it no matter how much I say it."

"Okay, you'd better keep this money for a few hundred yuan per dialysis." The boss glanced at it and continued to say in a muffled voice.

The beard stood there and Nunuu said in the end. He just stubbornly stuffed the money under the steamer and pressed it, waved his hand to the boss. It was completely different from the elite style he had just entered the store. At this time, his back looked like an old man in the evening.

"Oh... Lao Sun is also a poor person. His wife suddenly found out of uremia." The parent who was taking the child to have dinner sighed.

Most of the people who come here to have dinner are neighbors in the community, and I have more or less heard of the mustache.

"Old Sun is not very good-looking, but he is also a kind man. If someone else had divorced his wife long ago..."

"Yes, yes, his wife is usually kind to others and has been to the mountains to teach. You said that no matter how good people are now...ah, this is God."

When Ai Liang heard this, he silently retracted his mental power.

That's right, Ai Liang is not an ordinary person. On his fifth birthday, he awakened his superpowers, telepathy, mental manipulation, mindful motivation, mind reading... etc., all these are manifestations of his ability. Perhaps this is his golden finger after traveling through time?

However, this ability is still in its growth stage, which is far from the existence of those in the comics who often destroy a city and rub the planet with bare hands.

Well, the future is promising.

Usually, Ai Liang has strict requirements on himself. He will never read his mind randomly, nor will he manipulate other people's thoughts, because such things are like the fruit of taboos, with only zero and countless times. He does not want to face the collapsed world alone in the future.

Ai Liang will only use mind reading to dig out the deep thoughts of others when he detects a person with malicious intentions. If it is a criminal act, it will secretly stop it before calling the police, and then notify the police.

He was still quite happy in the first period. He gradually became disgusted. Being able to read other people's thoughts means there is no surprise. Things that others can only get through difficulties are within reach for those who have superpowers. In this way, he naturally loses the sense of accomplishment. It is like a game where you use a cheater to fill all the attributes at the beginning, and the life and fun of the game will be lost in a very short time.

But these are not the key. The real reason why his personality changed from a little introverted to a gloomy and introvert was the winter when he was five years old...
