Later, every time we went on a date, Twelve would tell me when he encountered some security situation: "Go to that coffee shop and get me a latte, sit in a spot not by the window."

At such times, I obediently walked into the café.

Sometimes I waited a little while, sometimes I waited for a long time.

Once, what I got was a call from him telling me to go back to school directly, as he had something to do.

I later learned that he had been injured and had ten stitches in his right arm.

When I saw him, the wound had not yet been sutured, and he smiled at me and said, "Look, these stitches look like tattoos, each stitch is an 'X'. So, if you calculate, I have a total of 5 'X's on my hand."

But I couldn't smile.

I touched the long wound, my heart ached, and I asked Twelve: "In the future, can we just ignore such things?"

"Xixi, I can agree to anything for you, but I can't agree to this; it's my duty."

It was also that day that I learned Twelve came from a family of police officers.

His grandfather and father were both police officers.

When Twelve was in his third year of junior high, his father died in the line of duty. Overnight, he lost the father he admired the most and became a bereaved family member.

He wasted the remaining time in junior high, and occasionally mixed with some youth from the streets.

Until one time, these youths took him to the entrance of a high school to rob those high school students.

Some people couldn't take out money, so they started to get physical.

That was the first time Twelve saw real people bullying others.

He almost instinctively rushed up and fought those thugs ten against one.

It was that day that he completely understood his father, knew what he was fighting for, and what he was protecting.

Someone always has to step up.

After that day, he returned to the classroom, with the goal of attending a police academy.

He was admitted to a regular high school, but he worked hard and even didn't use the extra points for being a bereaved family member, relying on his own efforts to get into that nationally renowned police academy.
