Chapter 623: 12.25 Unknown Star - Modern ABO World: Flower code names

After eating breakfast, Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan change their homely clothes to casual ones. They are planning to head to the flower garden to have a mini date but they are easy to recognize if only the two of them leave the building. There are so many prying eyes watching them from the shadows. So they decided to bring Lou Wei and force him to wear some disguise to become their bodyguard.

He and Hei Yuhua wear some disguise as well. A different color wig and some colored contact lenses. Hei Yuhua wore long black hair and tied it up in a loose ponytail. This wig covered up his rare silver hair which is the trademark of the top agent of Aster. His silver eyes were covered with light brown colored contact lenses now he looks more like a delicate beauty than a rare beauty he had always been.

On the other hand, Ye Yuyan covered his charcoal gray hair with a light brown wig and instead of wearing contacts to change his eye color, he wore unprescribed gla.s.ses to hide his golden irises. He looks like an English gentleman with this get-up totally different from his overbearing handsome CEO-type persona from before.

Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan both have their own transformation and feel entertained by the results of their disguise. They took photos together and shared them at the group chat with the following four members that include them, including Yun Jie and Lou Wei as well as the Director of Aster, Wei Ying, and the current Prime Minister surnamed Ye.

This is made with a secured program that only special members of the group chat can use. It can be used for daily reports or personal reports to each member. As well as casual posting or current events.

Hei Yuhua edited the couple's photo of their disguise to the group with the caption Going to the Flower Garden.

Ye Yuyan only typed 'Get ready' on the chat box obviously talking to others to make preparations on their side. As expected, Lou Wei and Yun Jie responded.

Lou Wei: [Affirmative, Captain!]

Yun Jie: [On my way.]

Director Wei: [Be careful.]

Minister Ye: [Watch your back.]

Hei Yuhua: [We will.]

The chat ended when Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan prepared to leave. By the door, Ye Yuyan turned around and smiled at Hei Yuhua while reaching out his hand.

He asked, "Shall we go?" said Ye Yuyan.

Hei Yuhua reaches out a hand and lands above Ye Yuyan's palm. The latter wrapped his big hands over the former and held Hei Yuhua's soft and slender hands as he escorted him out of the house.

"Let's go, A'Yan." said Hei Yuhua. In his mind, another sound can be heard.

[Ping! Host Yuhua had held hands with the Mission target. Time in progress for calculations. 10 points per one minute.]

Hei Yuhua ignored the systematic voice in his head and let Ye Yuyan pull his hand as they walked together to the next condominium unit nearest theirs. He watches as Ye Yuyan knocks on the door calmly.

A bit confused, Hei Yuhua asked Ye Yuyan, "A'Yan, who lives here?"

"It's Lou Wei," replied Ye Yuyan.

A few moments later, the door opened revealing Lou Wei and Yun Jie inside. They were wearing uniformed black suits and dark sungla.s.ses looking like professional bodyguards.

Lou Wei removed his sungla.s.ses and grinned at his captain as he said, "Captain, is this get-up okay?"

"Not bad. But... Why is Agent Yun with you?" asked Ye Yuyan.

Yun Jie answered, "It is my job to protect, brother. I wanted to come over ahead of time but was stopped at the door by this gorilla."

"Who are you calling a gorilla?" asked Lou Wei a bit fuming that this Beta dared to call him gorilla on his face. In reality, these two are only acting like how the original Lou Wei and Yun Jie treat each other.

But only Hei Yuhua knew that the souls of these two were replaced by someone else, seeing them act exactly the same way as the original made him a bit comfortable yet he acted like he noticed nothing.

Hei Yuhua asked, "A'Jie, are you going to the Flower Garden with us?"

"We won't appear in the open but protect you both in the crowd," answered Yun Jie.

Hei Yuhua smiled for a bit when he heard that but for some reason, the other three felt s.h.i.+vers climbing up his spine when he saw that smile instead. It was a fake yet menacing smile.

"You two are going to follow behind but the Flower Garden is a crowded place as it can be considered a mini-market for plants and flowers. Wearing inconspicuous suits they would know you guys are bodyguards at first sight and would also put me and A'Yan in the spotlight. Something I don't want to happen so change your clothes." said Hei Yuhua.

Yun Jie unconsciously agreed without questioning and said, "Yes, brother." He walked back into the house to change clothes.

On the other hand, Lou Wei peered at his captain and saw him avoiding his gaze. He knew that he had to follow the captain's wife's orders next time. It was his captain who told him to wear this suit and sungla.s.ses.

Ye Yuyan said with a commanding tone when he saw his confidant trying to open his mouth. He thought Lou Wei would tell Hei Yuhua that these clothes are his silly idea for disguise.

"Change your clothes. You have 10 minutes to do so," said Ye Yuyan.

Lou Wei instinctively saluted and ran inside his house like Yun Jie and changed his clothes. A few minutes later, a group of four in disguise went to the Flower Garden in one car. With Lou Wei driving, Yun Jie was seated in the pa.s.senger's seat, and the other couple was seated at the back. Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan are still holding each other's hands. The other two turned a blind eye to it instead.

The car drives down the road towards the city where the Flower Garden is located.

At the Flower Garden/Market...

The flower garden is not a closed s.p.a.ce full of flowers and plants like normal gardens, instead, it was an open layout more like a closed road with countless stalls. These stalls all show a variety of flowers and plans. Most of the plants and flowers could be seen in the ill.u.s.trative books about common plants and flowers.

As expected, the place is bustling with a crowd and there are more people with a higher age range than the age of Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan. Only old men and old women who love flowers were abundant in this market. The flower garden is more of a place to communicate about flowers and share each other's knowledge.

Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan, who look like foreigners, caught more attention upon their arrival. Followed by Lou Wei who is smiling most of the time and a grumpy yet silent-looking Yun Jie, the four of them look like a rare kind of guest in the garden.

But the four choose to ignore stares at them while Hei Yuhua happily pulled Ye Yuyan from stall to stall. In each stall, they entered Lou Wei and Yun Jie would receive a small pot to carry. Most pots were budding flower plants chosen by Hei Yuhua personally while paid by Ye Yuyan.

On the way the whole time, Hei Yuhua would be commenting about these flowers and that plant while pulling Ye Yuyan on the way. Ye Yuyan patiently listened to everything his future mate was saying with a smile on his face.

Midway seeing that Hei Yuhua would still be walking around the Flower Market, Lou Wei called his subordinates to help them move the plants that were bought by their captain's wife and put them in the car as they continued to follow behind Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan.

Finally, before lunch, Hei Yuhua took a rest in the nearest cafe within the road of the flower market. They sat at the table outside the store with a huge parasol above their heads. They didn't want to crowd with the people inside the cafe, they looked like a full train with some people standing inside.

Even the waiter from the cafe had to sneak through the s.p.a.ces between people before getting outside to get the orders of Hei Yuhua and the other three. The sun is raging hot in the sky so all three of them order iced coffee and frappe. Ye Yuyan and Lou Wei ordered Iced Americano, Yun Jie bought Green Tea Cream Cheese Frappuccino, and Hei Yuhua ordered Strawberry Raspberry Cheesecake Cream Frappuccino. They've also ordered four slices of cake and pieces of bread like Chocolate Cream marble cheesecake, Carrot.i.ta Cake, and two spinach zucchini quiches.

The waiter left after taking into account their orders and will ask the store to start making them. These four are more real customers than the ones inside only staying to take a breather from the heat outside the store. They only ordered plain water or the cheapest and smallest drink available in the store, moreover, they are not willing to leave at all. He happily went back inside after he finished his task.

Of course! Everything that is sweet is for Hei Yuhua and Yun Jie, this pair of sweet lover brothers. Lou Wei looked at the long naming sweet indulging drink the captain's wife had ordered and compared it to the tea-tasting drink his lover bought. How could they put cheese in tea and shake it? On the other hand, Ye Yuyan's reaction to his future mate's order is simple.

Ye Yuyan said, "Yu'er this is sweet enough for today, okay? At night you can only eat fruits for dessert. Too much sugar is bad for you."

"I will listen to you, A'Yan," said Hei Yuhua while smiling. On the other hand, his fingers were writing something on the top of Ye Yuyan's palms. Ye Yuyan didn't expect that someone recognized Hei Yuhua in his current appearance and was tailing them using the cover as cover.

Ye Yuyan reacted normally and even brought his handkerchief to wipe Hei Yuhua's sweat and said, "Use this to wipe your sweat, Yu'er." his phone suddenly rang as it was timed at this moment. Instead, the handkerchief is a mini receiver that could hear the conversation at far. Hei Yuhua knew about it and turn a blind eye letting Ye Yuyan eavesdrop on the conversation that may happen.

Lou Wei and Yun Jie's phones also rang all at the same time.

Yun Jie saw that the caller was Director Wei and told everyone he needed to answer the phone and walk away to a distance. Lou Wei got a call from the police district saying that a murderer had escaped from the prison and needed his help while Ye Yuyan's call is from his father, Prime Minister Ye.

"Sorry I need to take the call for a minute," said Yun Jie.

Lou Wei on the other hand answered the phone on the spot and before he could even speak, a shout came from his phone.

{Officer Wei!! Help us!!! That man from a solitary cell had escaped!!}

"What!?" Exclaimed Lou Wei as he stood up and walked away in a hurry after gesturing sorry to his captain and Hei Yuhua. He also walked away like Yun Jie.

Only Ye Yuyan stared at his non-stop ringing phone with his father's name flas.h.i.+ng on the screen. Hei Yuhua knows why Ye Yuyan is not leaving. These three calls are obviously not a coincidence!

But Hei Yuhua convinced him to leave, "I will be okay here alone. Isn't that your father calling?" he said while clearly asking him to leave.

Ye Yuyan sighed and kissed Hei Yuhua's hand and said, "I will be back soon. Call me if you need me."

Only then did Ye Yuyan walk away to pretend to answer the call from his father. Hei Yuhua was left alone by the table outside the cafe. He was looking around the crowd walking past in front of him. He was only a bit startled when he felt someone had sat behind him.

This unknown person was using a voice changer to speak with him.

"Hydrangea have you integrated yourself into the intelligence division Aster as their Agent. How come I didn't find your name in the records?" said the man behind him.

The expression on Hei Yuhua turned dull and glacial. He relaxed his head above his hand as he leaned over the table looking bored and lazy.

Hei Yuhua spoke, "Because you didn't warn your servants I got drugged by Ecstasy Flower that night and they even choose the only son of the Prime Minister as my partner. Great right?" He was speaking sarcastically at this moment.

"Sigh~ that was indeed our fault. That night it was supposed only Ye Yuyan to get drugged that day. You are only supposed to be there to get his trust that night. Even so... Your seduction skills are great~ to be able to successfully hook up with the hidden demon king of this country, Hydra~"

Hei Yuhua spoke, "My job is only supposed to act as a spy in Aster. I've never accepted beauty trap missions!"

"Don't get angry, darling. Hydra wants to get in the upper echelon in Red Poppy right? I, Iris, am helping you do so~" said the man called Iris from the Red Poppy Syndicate.

Hei Yuhua asked, "What's the next mission?"

"At this moment, all cooperation is halted for a year. Big Boss, Poppy, said the International police from different kinds of countries created an alliance to hunt us~ amazing right? We would lay low for a while. Your task is to watch over the demon king by your side and don't get caught. Our mission will resume next year. I will give you the current location of the other flower. Send it to the demon king's place. Though that place used to be outside our jurisdiction with you inside there should be no problem at all. Don't get caught, Hydrangea~"

Hei Yuhua only heard the sound of the chair behind him move but when he turned around there was no one there already. Hei Yuhua grips the handkerchief given to him by Ye Yuyan.

He said, "Did you get everything, A'Yan? Come back soon." said Hei Yuhua.

Somewhere in the alleys, Ye Yuyan with a sharp and piercing gaze was watching the whole scene in the cafe with a pitiless expression. He looks at the person covered in a full black trench coat who sat behind Hei Yuhua. From the distance, it would look like the person behind Hei Yuhua is a man but he noticed the person's small feet that are unlike a man's. This Syndicate with the code name of Iris is obviously a woman in disguise and her current faade isn't as perfect as Hei Yuhua.

Ye Yuyan answered, "I'll be back soon, Yu'er." Despite the coldness of his face, his voice is only gentle towards Hei Yuhua this isn't a fact but his real feeling for him.

Next, he needs to act like he was in a hurry to return to where Hei Yuhua is. After all, the call he received was not from his father but an intercepted call using his father's number. As expected it was a plot made by people who wanted to talk to his future mate alone. Hei Yuhua is after all the double agent of Aster to the Red Poppy Syndicate.
