Southtown, United States…In an elegant cafe…
A man and a woman sat opposite each other. There were only two cups of coffee with a faint fragrance on the table. There were no pastries or anything else…
The atmosphere was a little strange, even a little depressing. The girl's slender fingers picked up an exquisite porcelain spoon and gently stirred the coffee. The porcelain spoon and the coffee cup occasionally collided, making a pleasant sound. However, the girl's gaze was a little empty. It was obvious that her mind had wandered to some other world…
The man leaned back in his chair and looked out the window silently…
…………
"Hey, that…is that Bai Yan…"
" He's so stylish. He's so charismatic…I really want to get his autograph…"
"The boss has rules. If you go, be careful not to get fired!”
A few waiters teased softly. From time to time, they would look at the table with a depressing atmosphere. These two people had been sitting for a long time. Other than ordering two cups of coffee when they first arrived, no one spoke…How strange…
…………
Finally, the man turned his head and stopped looking at the bustling street outside. His gaze fell on the girl who had her eyes lowered…
The girl seemed to have sensed something and returned to her body from her mental state. Her body trembled slightly as if she was afraid of something.
" Alright... You didn't call me here just to make coffee, did you..." Bai Yan said in a low voice.
" I..." The girl wanted to say something but stopped. She was dressed in a handsome mercenary uniform, which added a trace of heroism to her pure face. She was very charming.
"What instructions does Colonel Sidon have? Do you have to tell me alone?" Bai Yan turned his head once again, not wanting to look at the handsome mercenary uniform. Body shape, figure, and even wearing that familiar clothing…They looked alike, too alike…If not for that white hair, Bai Yan might have really lost himself…In fact, when Bai Yan first saw Angel's military uniform, he was stunned for a long time, and a trace of bitterness rose in his heart.
" It wasn't the Colonel who asked me to come…" Angel mustered up her courage and muttered softly.
"What?" Bai Yan was stunned and looked at Angel in surprise."Didn't the Colonel send you here? Then…you…?"
" I snuck out…" Angel stuck out her tongue, looking extremely playful. However, when this fell into Bai Yan's eyes, it made him furious.
"You said you ran out on your own?”Bai Yan raised his voice a little. Unknowingly, the aura he emitted made the originally quiet cafe even quieter…Those who were still whispering almost shut their mouths and looked at Bai Yan's table in surprise.
" Mm…" Angel hesitated for a long time before nodding and lowering her head even lower.
"Nonsense!" Bai Yan's deep voice carried a trace of anger as he said,"You've only joined the mercenaries for a few days!？You just gained their trust! And you're still under observation! He actually ran out on his own!？You know the rules of a mercenary! What are you thinking?"
" What's the big deal…" Angel pouted and muttered nonchalantly.
"You!" Bai Yan knocked on the table and looked at the girl in front of him who had unknowingly revealed an expression that he could not be more familiar with. In the end, he still leaned his stiff body against the back of the chair. He was only concerned about Angel. Thinking about his agitated and almost critical words just now, Bai Yan also knew that his actions were too extreme. He stabilized his emotions and said softly,"Tell me, then what do you want to do?”
"I want to see you…"
"No more?"
"No more!" Angel pouted matter-of-factly.
Bai Yan stopped talking…and fell silent…
Looking at Bai Yan's gloomy face, Angel said timidly," Actually…it's not what you think. I was transferred to South Town. Recently, Nests is going to make a big move. I know the process and it will be very helpful for this mission. I didn't run away from Brazil…I sneaked out from the base camp here…"
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl who had her eyes lowered.
Angel suddenly raised her head and her beautiful eyes met Bai Yan's. In those crystal clear eyes, a trace of special meaning could not be more obvious…
Bai Yan's body stiffened. Two to three seconds later, he lowered his head and no longer looked at the girl…This action made Angel feel a little annoyed.
" Angel..." Bai Yan suddenly spoke, causing Angel, who still wanted to say something, to quieten down.
" I know about the darkness in the Nests organization, and I also know about the torture, pain, and grievances you've suffered there all these years…I also know how sad it is to be a modified person…But…" Bai Yan raised his head, but he did not look into Angel's eyes. Instead, he looked at the military uniform. His eyes were a little blurry again." But…you know, you've only been locked in a dark cage for too long, locked in a cold world for too long…You've been rescued now. Believe me, the world you're in now is full of sunshine. It's no longer what you imagined. Perhaps in a few months, weeks, or even days, you'll have different thoughts in your heart. Don't let yourself be immersed in the cage of the past, and don't forget about your tragic experiences. Some things are easy to forget. Looking forward…this world is full of beauty.”
Bai Yan muttered to himself as if he had been possessed. He did not see what kind of state Angel was in at the moment. It was unknown who Bai Yan was talking to…Staring at the handsome military uniform for a long time, Bai Yan laughed at himself…Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw a scene that shocked him.
A trace of mist appeared in Angel's beautiful big eyes. She pursed her lips slightly and had a stubborn appearance, but her eyes were still fixed on Bai Yan…
Bai Yan looked out of the window again unnaturally. In fact, he just didn't know how to face it. He was also a coward who ran away.
The girl's faint voice sounded like thunder in Bai Yan's ears."I'm currently pursuing the beauty of my world.”
"Angel! It's not what you think!" Bai Yan turned his head in frustration and said patiently," You…I know. You just had a special feeling for me in that special environment. It's different now. You've already gotten rid of that organization. You're standing under the sun now. You should experience the beauty of the world…You should…Sigh…I'm also a modified person. I also know the cruelty and cruelty of the organization. I also…"
Kacha...
The delicate porcelain spoon was crushed by Angel. A trace of blood flowed out of Angel's lips. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Bai Yan, and the stubbornness in her eyes seemed to be impossible to erase.
"It's precisely because you're also a modified human that you should know how I feel!”Angel suddenly stood up and supported herself on the table with both hands. She leaned forward and stared at Bai Yan.
Angel swore that she had never been so strong before, and that little bit of stubbornness in her heart had never been so magnified…Even she herself did not know where she found the courage.
Bai Yan fell silent. On one hand, he did not know what to say. On the other hand, there seemed to be a stone in his heart that was blocking his chest, making him feel a little depressed…
"It's not what you think! Ever since you left the organization, I've been paying attention to your news! It had been a few years, a full six years, or even more! At that time, I only worshipped you, admired you, and was very concerned about everything you did. I was even crazy about it. I had to spend a lot of effort to investigate every piece of news, and every piece of news had to linger in my mind for a long time, no matter what earth-shattering things you did! When I found out that you were safe and sound, you will never be able to understand the indescribable sweetness! Do you know how I feel when I hear people talking about you in the cage?”Angel emphasized the word 'cage'. Just as Bai Yan was about to say something, Angel stubbornly interrupted him."Until that amusement park, you will never know how warm it was for me. Even if it was winter, the warmth and warmth from the heart was enough to get rid of all the cold. Yes, I admit that I wanted to use you and get rid of all these shackles through you, but now? I've gotten rid of that hateful organization. Now, I don't have any motives for approaching you. Why won't you give me even the slightest chance?”
Bai Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his mouth seemed to be stuck and he could not say anything…
"Later, you saved me. I can be sure that I didn't make up my mind because of gratitude or admiration! That thing has long gone bad in my heart!”Angel looked at Bai Yan, tears still flowing from the corners of her eyes."You will never know how bitter and hopeful I felt when that woman named Domain was enjoying the luxury of happiness in your arms! You will never know how I spent my days every time I returned to that organization after meeting you. Every time I was lost and in pain, those short memories were always so sweet, filling me with desire and hope for this world again!”
Angel said with unprecedented determination.""I'm just pursuing my happiness, pursuing something that I haven't had the courage to pursue for so many years!”
Silence... The cafe was silent... Even the dumbest person would know what the two were arguing about when they saw the tears on Angel's face and told her everything.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time. In the end, Bai Yan lowered his head silently…He would never forget the stubbornness in the girl's eyes that no one could shake.
When Angel saw the scene in front of her, her heart was filled with endless bitterness. She could not hold back her tears again…
A piece of tissue was handed to Angel…
Angel was stunned. She placed her hands on the table but did not take it. Instead, she maintained her posture. The meaning was obvious…
Bai Yan slowly placed the tissue in front of Angel, but he did not wipe it for her.
It was just a small action, but Angel's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray…
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to take good care of you. You're a modified human created by an organization. You need someone to love you and take good care of you…but I'm not that kind of person!”Bai Yan shook his head.
"You are! They are very happy. This can't lie to me!”Angel bit her lips tightly…
Bai Yan suddenly clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white because he had used too much force…A few seconds later, Bai Yan suddenly relaxed his body. He looked a little dispirited as he lowered his head and whispered,"I was conceited enough to think that I was…but…she's dead. It was for me, for my ridiculous mission.”When he said this, Bai Yan once again fell into extreme self-blame.
Seeing the man sink into extreme self-blame and guilt, Angel was stunned. She finally knew what the biggest obstacle was…
"Athena…you only got together after she died!”After a long silence, Angel suddenly said something that made Bai Yan completely stunned.""Is she a tool for you to dilute your sadness?”Her words were very cold, but in essence, it was Angel who was unwilling to give up.
Bai Yan forced a smile." That was a promise I made a long time ago…" When Bai Yan heard the word " tool ", he suddenly felt that it was unfair to Athena. He really didn't want to admit it, but…more or less, after Athena stood in front of the door and said those words, Athena became a substitute, a tool in a sense. He would let Athena live a good and happy life and use it to redeem himself.
" You can't even convince yourself with your words. How can you convince me…" Angel laughed at herself when she heard Bai Yan's weak words.
Bai Yan was angered by Angel's stubbornness. He suddenly raised his head and said coldly,""To be honest, you're very similar to her! If we get together, you will become another tool!”
Under Bai Yan's cold gaze, Angel said hatefully,""I'm willing!"
Bai Yan looked at the stubborn Angel in front of him…After staring at each other for a long time, he finally surrendered helplessly."Angel…stop fooling around…"
Angel suddenly pulled Bai Yan's arm and walked towards the bar counter…
Under Bai Yan's puzzled gaze, Angel said,""Time can wash away everything and smooth out any pain! You can't make a decision now. You also said that you want me to experience this world full of sunshine! Alright then, I'll give myself time, and I'll give you time too!”Angel grabbed Bai Yan's arm tightly and said to the waitress at the bar counter,"I want to reserve a table!"
"Ah…Ah…Okay!" The waiter at the bar was a little nervous. Under Angel's angry gaze, he was a little panicked."Ma 'am…which table do you want to book…"
"The table we were at just now!"
"What's the exact time? I'll make a reservation for you!" The waiter hurriedly replied.
"Today, ten years later!" Angel's tone was unprecedentedly firm.
"I'm sorry…What did you say?" The waiter was a little stunned…thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.
Under Bai Yan's dumbfounded gaze, Angel said firmly,"" Today, 10 years later!!!"
Angel gently hugged Bai Yan and buried her head in his warm embrace. She rubbed her cheeks from left to right and muttered softly,"10 years. If you change, if I persist.”

"Some people's wounds fester slowly over time, while others heal slowly over time…I don't know what the outcome will be, but I know that I will never shake hands with this man who has illuminated my life.”--- Angel
