Life has entered a countdown, and I've started to rot.

Giving up the hustle and bustle of the big city, I returned to a small town.

I heard from a neighbor that the local police handle a wide range of business.

Neighbors can go to them for anything, including collecting bodies and arranging burials.

I'm afraid one day I'll fall asleep and never wake up, and no one will arrange my funeral.

Unexpectedly, I went to the police station.

And saw my ex-boyfriend who I broke up with six years ago.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red.

He didn't give me a good face and told me to get out.

I had no way out, so I could only bite the bullet: "I can't get out for the time being, can you wait a little longer?"

With him around.

It will be lively after I die.

After all, he said it.

The day I get my retribution and die, he will buy fireworks to celebrate.

The first day I returned to my hometown.

I busied myself tidying up the house.

Then I lay in bed waiting for death.

Suddenly, a neighbor lady knocked on the door.

She brought me homemade pastries.

And enthusiastically told me: "Young lady, you are at home alone. If you encounter any trouble, go to the police station at the corner of the street."

"After all, you are a young girl at home, you need to pay more attention to safety. I have Officer Miller's WeChat. Why don't you add him? If something happens, you can contact him."

"And you should be about the same age as him. Maybe you can make a good match."

Aunt Zhou covered her mouth and teased.

It doesn't matter if it's a match or not.

Anyway, I only have the last month to live.

Don't delay others.

Now I just hope to have someone to help me handle my funeral.

After thinking about it, I think this proposal is feasible.

Maybe there will be a place to rely on this police officer in the future.

Aunt Zhou quickly pushed Officer Miller's WeChat over.

His WeChat profile picture is a girl with her back to the light.

Still talking about making a good match.

Maybe he already has a girl he likes.

I applied to add friends.

Soon, the other party sent a question mark.

Are police officers so cold nowadays?

Looking again, I noticed that I forgot to enter the verification information.

I re-entered: "Hello, I'm Chloe Jiang, a resident who just moved back to the small town."

Now, he should agree.

However, this time he didn't reply again.

Until the evening, when I almost forgot about this matter.

He suddenly said: "What crazy are you sending?"
