"In this kingdom, you have to keep running to keep you in place." The Red Queen replied to Alice.

- Louis. Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

In the "Red Queen's World", the process of co-evolution is like having a life of her own, and even if the physical world stops changing, the evolution process does not stop.

-- Leigh. Fan. Valen, Evolution. The Red Queen Hypothesisใ€‹

Everyone has the right to choose the life they want, but only when they really step into life will they understand that life will never be as they imagined.

Lu Pingchuan sat in the hot pot restaurant facing the street, silently staring at the bottom of the pot that had been turned off and the ingredients in a pot gradually became cold, the cups and plates on the table were messy, and Situ Nan fell on the chair opposite and rubbed his stomach and burped. The restaurant is crowded, the outside is brightly lit, and the cooking gas and fireworks are swirling on the flushed cheeks of every diner, which looks particularly hazy and intimate.

A month and a half has passed since the end of the fourth "Law of Predation", and a week ago, Lu Pingchuan and Situ Nan, who came to find him, visited Zhu Yaoming's widow. After that, the two still returned to S City, where Lu Pingchuan currently lives, and at Lu Pingchuan's sincere invitation, Situ Nan has taken his luggage and moved in together, and the two have become roommates under the same roof again. Lu Pingchuan's rented youth apartment is not big, but it is definitely more than enough for two people. After experiencing the torment in the desert and the resettlement after returning home, both of them cherish the tacit understanding and alienation between each other.

With less than two weeks to go until the traditional Chinese New Year, this bustling seaside city is in for the final carnival of the year. On this leisure street, which is famous for its food, you can see various year-end parties, family and friend reunions, and festive scenes of congratulations every day. Lu Pingchuan asked Situ Nan for a cigarette, but after lighting it, he only took a light puff, and then slowly burned out at his fingertips, but his eyes were always staring out of the window. Situ Nan followed his gaze and saw a pair of couples kissing on the street under the street landscape lights.

"Look at them, how happy they look." Lu Pingchuan snuffed out the cigarette butt in the bone plate and sighed sincerely.

"Why did you go to Africa and come back like half of the earth? You're five or six years younger than me, aren't you? Situ Nan grimaced at him with a toothpick in his mouth, "Don't make it look like a mourning period all day long, you still have a lot of youth to have fun." Some things, some people, can only pass in the past, and the living cannot be buried with the dead. The bottom of this spicy pot is quite authentic, China's 56 ethnic groups and eight cuisines, we still have so many delicious dishes that we haven't eaten, so many beautiful scenery haven't seen, so many beautiful girls haven't hugged...... Even if we want to find death and life, we have to spend all the money before we think about it, otherwise it won't be cheaper for the group of corpses? โ€

"You can think about it." Lu Pingchuan shook his head with a smile, and poured the little bit of beer left in the bottom of the bottle into the other party's cup, "What are your plans after the New Year?" โ€

"The atmosphere in S City is good, and I plan to stay here and develop as well." Situ Nan took off the toothpick from his mouth, and said with a restrained expression, "In the next year, I will go out to look for it, see if I can find a job related to the art market, and see if I can find an opportunity to find a way out for my girl...... If I settle down, I may have to stay with you for a while. How long have you been paying rent? The landlord won't deduct my money then, right? โ€

"Haha, what's the matter!" Lu Pingchuan made a "thumping" motion towards the other party across the table, "I directly signed a one-year lease contract, how long do you like to live...... But after a few years, I may not be back right away. My parents are old and want me to start a family as soon as possible. The last time I went back, my hometown seemed to be doing well, and when I go back this year, I might consider whether to stay in my hometown. โ€

"With your temper, I bet you won't be able to stay for three months." Situ Nan glanced at Lu Pingchuan, who could almost be regarded as "returning to his hometown", pouted and shook his head and said, "You seem to have an indifferent temperament, but you are more arrogant than anyone else in your bones, I have a general understanding of your place, a small city in the third and fourth tiers, related to the society, if your family can go through, your father will not be sick like that, and he will not retire early." So don't think that the peasant woman's spring is a little sweet, and come back after the year, let's discuss it carefully, maybe we can do a big business together! โ€

"What big business?" Lu Pingchuan thought about it and asked.

"You didn't want to go to the sea to be your boss?" Looking at Lu Pingchuan, who was not enlightened, Situ Nan was a little depressed, "Wake up, buddy!" You're now worth tens of millions of local tyrants! What do you want to do? With this money, do you really plan to provide for your brothers? I thought that according to our experience, it may be a bit suspenseful to open a studio gallery, but there should be no problem in opening a restaurant like this! You have to use the money you have to live to have hope, you know? There is no future for sitting on the mountain...... Eh, what do you look at? โ€

Lu Pingchuan didn't hear Situ Nan's tirade clearly, his eyes were attracted by another couple who were pestering and playing outside the window - the two came out of a western restaurant across the road, and there seemed to be occasional arguments along the way, when the two walked to a white Audi A6 parked on the street, the man in the couple suddenly jumped up, grabbed the woman and slapped her on the car door.

Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan jumped up violently, and rushed out of the hot pot restaurant without even taking the coat on the back of the chair. Situ Nan wanted to catch up, but the waiter thought it was a bully meal, so he had no choice but to pay for it first before leaving the store. When he crossed the street and rushed to the door of the western restaurant opposite, Lu Pingchuan had already punched the violent man down.

"It's ...... What's going on? Situ Nan took Lu Pingchuan's coat and hesitated to step forward. The woman in the couple covered her red cheeks with pear blossoms and rain, but her eyes did not fall on her boyfriend who was beaten into a dog, but kept staring at Lu Pingchuan. Lu Pingchuan didn't pay attention to the weak chicken man at his feet who was still scolding but didn't dare to stand up and fight back, just frowned and looked at the beaten woman in front of him...... The two of them just clubbed like this sculpture for two or three seconds before Lu Pingchuan coughed and took the lead in speaking:
