He Ao, male, eighteen years old, unmarried, good personality, honest and simple, not good with words, a good person.

Life goal: Make money.

Click—

A dropped ballpoint pen landed beside He Ao's seat, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced at the pen, pressed one hand on the desk, reached down with the other, and leaned forward.

In an instant, the noisy environment around him fell silent for a moment, until his slender hand picked up the black ballpoint pen from the ground and handed it to its owner who had stood up and rushed over.

"Tha... thanks."

He Ao seemed to hear the sound of a deep breath and a pounding heart.

"No problem." He Ao handed the ballpoint pen into the slightly nervous and trembling fair hand, and smiled at the girl in the loose long dress in front of him, "After all, I'm a law-abiding good person."

"Good..." The girl tightly clutched the ballpoint pen, took a deep breath to calm her nerves, "Thank... you."

Then, without waiting for He Ao to reply, she scurried to the front row and sat down.

He Ao sat up slightly, his gaze sweeping over the people sitting around him who were watching him. In an instant, everyone turned their heads away, and the awkward noise started again. They didn't know what to talk about, but as long as they avoided He Ao's gaze, it was fine.

He Ao smiled slightly, opened his book, and continued to think about his life goal. This was the corner by the window in the last row of the classroom. This kind of seat was usually the most popular among college students, but around He Ao, there was a large empty space, a vacuum.

Everyone only dared to look at him from a distance.

After class

"Nannan, I heard that He Ao from Class Two helped you pick up your pen?"

A short-haired girl excitedly ran across the street and wrapped her arms around the girl's waist.

"Yeah."

Liu Nan slapped her hand away.

"How did it feel?"

The short-haired girl immediately pressed.

"It was strange, a little scared, and a little excited... my mind went blank," Liu Nan thought for a moment, and adjusted the satchel on her shoulder, "But thinking about it now, he doesn't seem as scary as the rumors say."

"Really?" The short-haired girl poked her head out, "But I heard... Let me tell you, I just heard this over there..."

The short-haired girl mysteriously leaned closer, motioning for Liu Nan to lower her head, and then she whispered in Liu Nan's ear, "He might have... before..."

She quietly made a gesture of slitting a throat.

"What?!" Liu Nan was startled, her voice rising significantly, and then she smiled helplessly, "What gossip have you heard again? This kind of thing is clearly a rumor."

"I'm just gossiping."

The short-haired girl pouted.

"You..."

Liu Nan, who was distracted talking to the short-haired girl, suddenly felt a huge force pulling her shoulder. Before she could react, the satchel hanging on her shoulder was pulled off by a strong force.

As she brushed past a man, he suddenly yanked hard on her shoulder bag, snatching it away and sprinting madly into the distance.

"Robbery! Someone's robbing!"

The short-haired girl reacted instantly and shouted loudly. However, when she turned back, she saw that Liu Nan was already chasing after him, so she also hurried to follow.

At this moment, there were few pedestrians on the street. The robber ran wildly ahead, unimpeded.

Liu Nan followed closely behind him, while the short-haired girl further back ran while taking out her phone to call the police.

But when a person is distracted, their speed tends to slow down. By the time she finished her call, Liu Nan had already turned several corners and disappeared from sight.

She was startled. This is bad!

Liu Nan, who had chased the robber into an empty alley, gradually realized that something was wrong. The robber ahead could have easily widened the distance between them, but he had maintained a speed just slightly out of her reach, slowly leading her into the alley.

At this moment, there were only two 'enthusiastic citizens' behind her who had come to help. Just as she was about to turn back and call for help, she suddenly realized that these two 'enthusiastic citizens' were adult men, yet they hadn't caught up to her and were trailing far behind.

She slowly stopped. The robber ahead and the 'enthusiastic citizens' behind also slowly stopped. Her heart pounded, but she found that her path forward and backward were blocked. The people on both sides were slowly closing in on her.

This wasn't a robbery! It was kidnapping!

These people were very experienced and had blocked all her escape routes.

As the two sides gradually closed in, countless thoughts raced through her mind. Just as she was about to seize an opening and fight with all her might to see if she could break through the encirclement, a young man in black, carrying a large black backpack, with long hair and wearing plain glasses, suddenly turned into the alley from the other end.

"Ao... Brother Ao?"

The two 'enthusiastic citizens' behind Liu Nan trembled and called out when they saw the young man appear. They turned and ran.

"What the hell, Brother Ao? These guys are really unreliable."

The man who had snatched the bag at the front saw his two accomplices run away and knew someone had come up behind him. While cursing, he slowly took out a folding knife from his pocket, waiting for the footsteps behind him to gradually approach.

"Be careful!"

Liu Nan instinctively called out a warning.

At this moment, the young man had already walked behind the robber. He seemed not to have heard Liu Nan's warning and continued to walk calmly towards the robber.

The robber heard Liu Nan's shout and took advantage of the moment she spoke to grip the knife in reverse, turn around, and stab.

When people are called out to, they always get distracted subconsciously. He wanted to seize this window of distraction.

However, the young man behind him was not drawn in by Liu Nan's voice. He dodged the stab and slapped the robber on the side of his face with a backhand.

With a bang, the man lost all strength and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

Everything happened too quickly. Liu Nan hadn't even reacted yet.

"You... he's knocked out?"

"The area below the earlobe is close to the medulla oblongata's respiratory center. A heavy blow to this area can cause inhibition of the medulla oblongata's respiratory center, leading to temporary unconsciousness."

The young man calmly squatted down, slowly turning the unconscious man over as he spoke, "However, I don't recommend you use this move. People without training might not be able to control the force well. If you don't knock the person out immediately, you'll be caught.

My suggestion is that if you encounter this situation in the future, try to run to a crowded place and call the police first."

After turning the man over, the young man unhurriedly took out a small pink handcuff from his backpack, lifted the man's hands, and cuffed them behind his waist.

"Ah, okay," Liu Nan looked at the somewhat familiar face, unsure how to continue the conversation. So she looked at the small handcuff and tentatively started looking for a topic, "He Ao... are you a police officer?"

"No," He Ao shook his head and locked the handcuffs. "I bought these handcuffs at the adult store near the school's north gate. Their quality is good."

Liu Nan: "Ah?"
