Chapter 125 A Joke from Fate Before Departure
After Bai Yexiu left to perform surgery on Pasi, Zuomu woke up and came downstairs. Seeing everyone in the living room so happy, Zuomu, though unsure of what was going on, also started to grin foolishly.
To celebrate the successful resolution of the matter, Nicholas discussed a welcoming ceremony with those present—
Percy returned from surgery around dusk, and they decided to pause their mission for the day and host a lively surprise party in the safe house.
Another reason was that they knew Bai Yexiu would be leaving for Japan tonight and might not be able to come back every few days. They wanted to make the most of this last time to create a beautiful memory for themselves.
They had long considered each other as family, and Bai Yexiu was an important member of their "family".
……
Bai Yexiu, together with several experienced doctors from different research groups, gave Percy a completely new look in just a few hours.
Percy wasn't bad-looking to begin with; he was rather handsome, though his previous stubble made him look rather unkempt. This time, Bai Yexiu gave Percy a more rugged, mixed-race face, completely transforming his appearance from the previous gentle, refined man. While there were still some resemblances, Bai Yexiu was certain that even Percy's attending physician wouldn't recognize him.
Bai Yexiu also brought Percy normal clothes and helped Percy change out of her hospital gown.
After his surgery, Percy's face was still wrapped in thick bandages, with only his eyes showing. However, he seemed unusually excited, almost wanting to climb onto the roof and dance on the way back. Bai Yexiu couldn't help but give him a sharp rap on the head, and Percy finally quieted down, looking pitiful and not daring to move.
It was nearly dusk when they arrived at the safe house. As soon as Bai Yexiu opened the door, there was a loud bang, and he and Percy were drenched in confetti.
Welcome, Percy!
Welcome, Percy!
Two almost identical voices came from beside the door, and then two blond youths who looked exactly alike jumped out at the same time, with very cheerful and infectious smiles on their faces. In their hands, they were holding a pink object that looked like a big cloud.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Cointreau!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Cointreau!"
The twins handed it to Bai Yexiu, who was somewhat at a loss.
Percy was the first to react, skipping and hopping into the decorated room. Although Percy, this "bandaged weirdo," looked rather bizarre and funny as he skipped and hopped.
The safe house has been decorated in a completely different way, looking like a luxurious family party venue.
The sweet scent surrounded his nose, and Bai Yexiu finally came to his senses and walked blankly into the house, but the blonde twins stepped forward and each grabbed one of his arms, leading him to the center of the living room.
Nicholas pressed the switch on the corner speaker, while Ricard grabbed a bottle of champagne from beside the champagne tower, shook it a few times, and opened it on the spot—spraying everyone with champagne. The blonde twins, both drenched, looked at each other and burst into laughter, mocking each other's disheveled appearance.
Having never drunk alcohol before, Saki timidly picked up a glass of champagne, took a tentative sip, and then stuck out his tongue as if he was sour.
Looking at the joyful and lively scene before him, Bai Yexiu felt a pang of emotion.
Because the British action team and intelligence team members were all here, although the number of people here was a bit small, I didn't expect that Ricard would be able to find the British intelligence team twins who were always out collecting intelligence and were always nowhere to be seen, and even invite them back.
The twins, one named Dylan and the other Isaac, are both handsome young men with blond hair and blue eyes. They are exceptionally good at socializing and making friends. They spend a lot of time collecting intelligence and are a highly capable intelligence team under Rum.
Because of their exceptional teamwork and the unspoken understanding between twins, they became a very special pair within the organization, sharing a single codename.
Wicker Whisky.
However, most people call them the Hermes brothers.
When Percy first met the Twins, unsurprisingly, the three quirky personalities quickly became friends.
……
Bai Yexiu had a rare chance to have a good time, but the time on his phone told him that he had to catch a flight.
Because he is no longer a permanent member of the organization in the UK, nor is he in charge anymore, and Gin urgently needs him to return, saying that several of the organization's properties in Tokyo are at risk of being bombed, and he needs to go back to handle them. He also said that Vermouth had already returned that afternoon.
He only told Ricard that he had to catch a flight tonight, and he instructed Ricard not to tell Saki, because Bai Yexiu wanted Saki to stay here and study with them for a while. Knowing Saki's clingy nature, if he knew that he was going back to his country, Saki would definitely beg to go back with him.
While they were still immersed in the world of the party, Bai Yexiu quietly took his suitcase and left.
……
London was still lively at night, though there were fewer pedestrians.
From the time he got off the plane to deal with his undercover work until now, as he prepares to return to Japan, he hasn't slept a wink. The only leisure activities he's had during this time have been taking a shower and having some fun at a party. Besides, he just had a six- or seven-hour plastic surgery, and even walking down the street now, his eyelids are drooping.
Just as we were about to reach an intersection, a man wearing a coat, scarf, and baseball cap suddenly appeared from the corner ahead. The man was also holding a large pink bag in a rather incongruous manner.
Because Bai Yexiu's eyelids were drooping, his alertness was lowered, and he bumped into the man unexpectedly.
The pink item in the man's hand fell to the ground.
He initially thought it was just a normal bump into someone, but when Bai Yexiu looked up, those familiar eyes stunned him into standing still.
There were no lights here. Although the man in the brown coat covered his nose and below with a scarf, he would never forget those amber eyes that could emit a faint light like a cat's eyes in the dark.
This is a distinctive feature of the White Night Clan.
The man's gaze darted away for a moment, then he revealed a gentle look that Bai Yexiu knew all too well.
It's Jason.
Those eyes, that look—Bai Yexiu would never forget them in his lifetime.
Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on them.
Jason actually survived such a certain death situation? And he even appeared in front of Bai Yexiu with something that was of great significance to him.
The cold night wind howled, carrying fallen leaves and dust that rolled several meters away.
A young man and a boy stood there in the cold wind, silently looking into each other's eyes, neither of them speaking first...
