Chapter 335: Set a Birthday for the System (Chapter Two in One)
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed while holding the book. After a mental battle, he finally did not take out his mobile phone.
Angstra is with Belmode. If he sends an email now, it may leave a bad impression on that woman who is not easy to mess with.
...If you really want to ask, wait until Angstra comes back in the evening. Face-to-face communication is much more reliable than email teaching.
"I want to use the computer." Zhu Fu Jingguang closed the textbook and said to Jiang Guling.
Yesterday Angstra also sent him a matching video tutorial, which can be watched on the computer.
The computer is on the table 2 meters away from the hospital bed. If Jiang Guling feels any discomfort, he can hear it immediately.
The blond man on the hospital bed seemed to be in a daze, and he came back to his senses when he heard Zhu Fu Jingguang's words.
"Scotland." His hair boy suddenly called out his code name, "Have you checked the information about 'Pannno' on the intranet after you went back yesterday?"
Hearing this title, Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned slightly.
He understood in his heart that calling out his code name and that the undercover agent had to integrate into the organization as much as possible before closing the net, but at this time he felt an indescribable sense of violation.
The drop of the valley just now... seems to have completely regarded him as "Scotch whiskey".
——It’s just Scotch whiskey, not Zhufujingguang..
"Why are you asking this?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked.
"I want to ask you to log in to the intranet and let me see his photo. I want to see how much he... looks like me."
This is what Toru Amuro has been thinking about most since last night.
He hoped that in Angstra's eyes it was him and Toru Amuro - just Toru Amuro.
He knew that Angstra would not lie to him, would not regard him as that man's substitute, and the gentle little boss would not blaspheme two feelings at the same time, but somewhere in his heart he was still afraid.
He was even too scared to ask Angstra for a photo, fearing that their faces would be so close together that it might confuse his junior boss for a few seconds.
Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at him for a while, then loosened his hand in his pocket. He did not take out the cell phone used for organizational communication.
"I checked his information last night. If I check it again today...some suspicious people may come to cause trouble."
He rejected him.
Jianggu Ling felt a tight pain in his chest, and that feeling was fleeting.
"Really..." He murmured: "Then I can only wait until I get the code number and then check it myself."
Fangtani Rei wants to drag Angstra step by step into the emotional trap he set.
Lure an enemy, especially a powerful enemy, and you must not rush it. He has to hit the little devil's weak spot, not stab him in the back.
So he didn't ask Angstra for Panno's photo last night or during the fireworks. He originally wanted Hiro to check the content. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for him now. He will have the opportunity in the future.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at him: "If you have nothing else to do, I will go use the computer."
Jiang Guling nodded slightly, but he couldn't twist his neck much.
…
Zhu Fu Jingguang walked to the table, put the textbook aside, and turned on the computer.
The computers in the ward are organized and equipped with special encryption software, so there is no need to worry about data being stolen by the outside world.
He logged into the intranet and opened the email from Angstra, but his mind wandered, thinking of the photo he saw last night.
In fact, Zhu Fu Jingguang was not as calm as he appeared at all.
Panno, an undercover agent of the French intelligence agency who entered the organization. He had never met Rei Fangtani, but he had innocently encountered three life threats from different members. Moreover, according to Bermod, Panno had harmed An. Gestra…
Whether this injury refers to physical harm or psychological harm, Zhu Fu Jingguang does not know.
With Angstra's ability, the latter is more likely, which makes the undercover police officer, who is also an undercover agent and has received so much kindness from his junior boss, feel very guilty.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was worried about his younger brother and felt guilty about his younger boss. After returning, he logged into the intranet and searched for Pan Nuo's information.
Anyway, he heard Belmode mention it in the ward, so he checked it and it wasn't out of the ordinary.
The photo popped up quickly. When he first saw Pan Nuo's photo, Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned because Pan Nuo and Fang Gu Ling were indeed very similar.
——Blonde hair, darker wheat-colored skin, seemingly gentle droopy eyes, and facial features are somewhat similar.
But as a young boy, Zhu Fu Jingguang could tell the difference between them at a glance. Their temperaments were completely different.
To use a metaphor Angstra once used to describe it, it is like a police dog, high-spirited and sharp.
As for Panno, his temperament is more silent and reserved.
If I had to describe him, he is more like the sad loyal dog in a certain movie who goes to the station every afternoon to wait for his master to come back.
——Watching quietly in place, even if someone else comes to him and tries to take him away, he is still waiting there, waiting persistently for the person he wants to come to him and hug him again.
In the end, his wish came true, and he died alone in despair.
Zhu Fu Jingguang became extremely curious about Pan Nuo, but he didn't have enough information to make any more speculations.
He put down his messy thoughts, opened the first video in the email, opened the textbook at the same time, and began to listen to the lecture seriously.
————
"Look, what does this set look like? Bai Ye is thin and slim, so it's just right to buy a slim fit, and it also comes with a vest..."
"The gray suit is better, and the tie on it should be of the same color."
"Gray? Oh, by the way, Bai Ye's English name is 'grey', so buy the gray one! I'll show it to Kaito...forget it, that kid is nondescript in a suit and has nothing like his father. He's so handsome, so go to the shop downstairs and buy some T-shirts."
"Shall we go over there and look at the cufflinks?"
"Well, I need to give Bai Ye a suitable tie clip... Do you want to buy him a watch?"
…
Listening to the chatter of Belmode and Kuroba Chikage in front of him, Kuroba Kaito rolled his half-moon eyes and looked at Jie Baiye.
"Am I her son, or are you her son?" He couldn't help complaining.
"Aunt Qianying only gave birth to one child for you." Jing Baiye didn't understand why he asked this.
Back then, the Kuroba family did intend to adopt him. He was almost able to have a father, mother and younger brother, a more complete family... but in the end he went with Belmod.
He did not regret his choice at that time.
Kuroba Kaito crossed his arms and stared at the two women walking away in front of him: "Really, why should I come shopping? If I had known, I would have stayed home and played games."
For men of any age, gaming is far more interesting than shopping - especially shopping with a woman.
Jing Baiye consoled him: "There is a game chain store opposite, we can go and have a look."
"I'm actually fine." After all, he often went shopping with Shirley in the United States, and he got used to it after more times. "Then I'll go tell them."
Jing Baiye walked quickly to Belmode, and the two looked at each other. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.
"..."
In the car before, Bermod asked him if he regretted killing Panno.
When he saw him in the villa, he was filled with the disbelief of his enemies. After killing him, he was filled with anger and madness that lasted for a whole month. And now...he himself didn't know how he felt about Panno.
He didn't speak, but Belmode seemed to have already accepted the answer. She started the car and left the apartment.
Then along the way, they didn't speak again until they met Kuroba Qiankage.
"Kaito and I want to visit the game store across the street." Jing Baiye looked at Belmod calmly.
"Go ahead." Her smile remained the same as before, as if nothing had happened in the car just now, "Just take whatever you and Kaito want to buy, and I'll buy it for you."
"Isn't this not good?" Kuroba Qianying pulled her arm.
"It's okay, just think of it as..." Belmode glanced at Kuroba Kaito, "Let's just apologize for him being forced to go shopping together~"
Kuroba Kaito was so happy that he jumped up on the spot, ran over in three steps, and stood side by side with Jing Baiye. With a pinch of his fingers, he turned into a bright red rose and handed it to Belmod.
"Thank you, Ms. Wynyard, it is my honor to go shopping with a beautiful woman~!"
Veins popped out of Kuroba Qianying's forehead: "How old are you that you dare to say this?"
Twelve-year-old Kuroba Kaito blinked his eyes indifferently: "Mom, you can come to us after you finish shopping!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Jing Bai took a moment and took the initiative to take the shopping bags from the hands of Belmod and Kuroba Qiankage. He would not let them carry the things they bought for him after they spent money on him.
"Then I'll go there too."
Belmod said with concern: "Be careful with so many things. We will come find you after we finish shopping."
Jing Baiye nodded, carrying his things and followed Kuroba Kaito.
The two of them entered the game chain store one after another. There were not many people in the store. There were parents and children, and people dressed as students gathered together in twos and threes. They might have been here after school.
Seeing those students, Jing Baiye turned to look at Kuroba Kaito.
"Kaito, why didn't you go to school today?"
Later he remembered that today was Friday, the school day for the student party.
Kuroba Kaito put his hands in his pockets, his eyes quickly glanced at the cassette box on the display shelf, turned back and smiled at him: "Because our school is a school favored by God, we have more holidays than other schools!"
"..."
Jing Baiye was speechless, but he knew very well that Kuroba Kaito couldn't skip classes - no matter how upright a truant was, he would always avoid his mother and would never go out with her.
He and Kuroba Kaito walked inside together. He carefully carried the shopping bag to avoid bumping into the people next to him.
There were people coming and going in the mall, so in order to avoid being accidentally seen by others, he did not put them in the system backpack.
There are many products in the game chain stores, including game consoles, new game cartridges, second-hand sections... Jing Baiye scanned the store, and then his eyes fell on a poster not far away.
【Happy Father's Day! From June 15th to June 30th, up to 30% off!】
"Father's Day is coming soon..." Kuroba Kaito also saw the poster, and his tone suddenly dropped.
Jing Baiye remembers that Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June every year, and now it is next Sunday. This holiday originated in the United States, and at that time there would be some discounts in stores.
The discounts for many activities are not very big, but they are all about a sense of ritual and the children's feelings towards their father.
"Kai Dou." Jing Baiye transferred the shopping bag to an arm and hung it on his arm. He raised his hand and touched his head, "Your family will definitely be reunited."
Thinking of the teacher he hadn't seen for many years, Jing Baiye sighed in his heart.
The day when the zoo organization is gone and Black Feather Thieves can come back, it may be several years later... but it is not hopeless.
Kuroba Kaito nodded vigorously: "I will wait for him to come back, and I will also show him the magic I invented myself!"
Jing Baiye saw it and felt a little envious.
The family has a good relationship, and Kuroba Kaito has been missing his father all these years.
Jing Baiye has never celebrated Father's Day, nor Mother's Day - in the first life he had no parents, in the second life he ran away from his original family, and now in the third life, he personally killed the original owner's parents.
So he can only try to feel the love of his parents from others.
Belmode was his female guardian, and he felt that her feelings for him were more like maternal love than that of his adoptive mother.
Jing Baiye suddenly thought of something and poked his system.
[System, will you celebrate the holidays? 】
【...There are no holidays in the system.】
【Is there a birthday?】
【I am not a human being and do not have a birthday.】
Jing Baiye looked at the poster: [Then would you like to order one now? 】
The system is not a human being, so it does not have a birthday; he did not have a birthday in his first life, but he set it on April 4th, which is the number on his armband.
【...Does birthday have any meaning?】
[I have always wanted to thank you for your sacrifices for me. When it’s your birthday, I will buy you flowers and cakes to celebrate. 】
The system, like Belmode, has been with him for 7 years. It is always there to support him and pay for him. It is very reliable.
Whenever Jing Baiye learns a new technology outside the system, the system is always the first to know, and he is willing to show it to it immediately - just like Kaito did to Toichi-sensei.
[Okay.] After a meal, the system couldn't help but complain, [I can't eat the cake, you want to eat it yourself.]
[No, the things in the backpack will not spoil. I will set aside a few rows of grids specifically for cakes for you - no matter how hungry I am, I will not eat them secretly.] Jing Baiye poked it, [That’s it.
How about it being held on the third Sunday in June every year?】
[...Father's Day?] The system was stunned.
[Belmod is like a mother to me. When I was in the United States, I would give her a gift on Mother’s Day.] Jing Baiye smiled, [So I think someone can accept my gift on Father’s Day. 】
【But I’m not considered...a human being, am I?】
[It’s just an analogy, you can’t say ‘find something to accept a gift’, it’s too ugly.]
It doesn't matter that the system doesn't count as a person. What's important is that it has memories and emotions and can always be with him.
