Super Sands of Time

When Lin Mo was attacked on the subway on his 30th birthday, he suddenly gained the ability to pause time. The suspended fist, the frozen spit, the whole world stopped for him - until he saw that his watch was inexplicably five minutes too fast. At first this ability seemed like a dream: he "borrowed" convenience store lunches, peeked at competitors' projects, and even sneaked into his crush's apartment to sniff her pillows. Until one morning, the white hair in the mirror and the "symptoms of premature aging" on the physical examination report revealed the cruel truth: every time he paused time, he was stealing his own life. And when the out-of-control truck crashed into the school bus, Lin Mo saw all the selfish moments clearly in the flashback. He rushed into the street and unfolded the still time and space, only to see an hourglass shadow above each child's head - this was the life countdown he saw after his ability evolved. The moment he blocked the impact with his body, he realized that there was not much sand of time left in his hourglass. In the ward, Lin Mo "lent" his last moments to the dying children to fulfill their wishes. When the grains of sand ran away, he heard the sound of time flowing again.
