Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 179.010. Courage
Jin Ziyue stepped back and shrank back to his original position: "So, no matter how unsatisfactory things are, don't give up easily."

Qing Yise lowered her head, hiding the faint blush on her cheeks, and mumbled an "Mmm".

"What are your plans for the next step?" Jin Ziyue asked.

Qing Yise hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to go home. But my life is already a mess, and I can't burden my parents. I just want to hide in a corner where they can't see me, take care of them, and fulfill my filial duties."

"Your aunt and uncle must be very pleased with your thoughtfulness, but they must also be very worried about you, right?" the young man said. "Taking good care of yourself is the best way to put their minds at ease."

Qing Yise said, "I want to too. But in my current situation, I'm stranded in a foreign land, my former companions have turned against me, I have many enemies outside, and I don't even have any skills or money. I really can't think of any way to take care of myself."

As the girl spoke, tears silently streamed down her once innocent face.

"I just wanted to gain experience, make my resume more impressive, and improve my future, but things have turned out differently than I imagined..."

The girl's sobs were soft; she was trying her best to control her emotions.

"So lame, so incredibly lame."

She wiped away her tears, her face streaked with tears.

“Not inferior at all, on the contrary, very cool.” Jin Ziyue smiled at her. “The way you persevere in the face of adversity is braver than most people.”

Qing Yise barely managed to stop her tears and said, "Nobody would be willing, like me or anything."

"Speaking of which, Miss Qing hasn't told me what exactly happened to you yet. Perhaps I can help."

The young man made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves and raising his arms to show off his biceps, which made everyone laugh.

But she remained silent.

"Besides, if you're going home, I might be able to help you book a plane ticket or something."

“No, we came here illegally.” Qing Yise hesitated, but still explained, “Although I don’t know how to explain it to you, I’m afraid my ID will expose my whereabouts as soon as we get to the airport.”

"I see." The young man looked rather disappointed.

"If we want to go back, I'm afraid the only way is to smuggle ourselves out," Qing Yise said half-jokingly, but then her expression turned dejected. "But I no longer have the means to smuggle myself out."

They smuggled themselves across the border using Cheng Lin's "Boundless Reach," an extremely rare spatial transfer destiny phrase that allows them to cross straits for long-distance transport. Unfortunately, they can't return to the Fate Master now, so there's no point in even thinking about it.

Moreover, Cheng Lin, that miser, is always out doing business, rarely seen, so whether we'll even run into him is uncertain.

"How about this, I'll help you smuggle yourself across the border?" The young man seemed to have hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind and saying.

"What?" Qing Yise asked in surprise.

“I know a smuggler who can provide a way to smuggle people across borders,” Jin Ziyue said in a low voice.

"Really?"

"Hmm." After saying that, Jin Ziyue hesitated for a moment, "But we might not have enough funds right now."

When Qing Yise heard about the money issue, he immediately deflated.

"If only there were something of value that I could sell," the young man sighed.

"Value?" Qing Yise thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Forget it, let's think about how to get out of here first. How about moving to another city?" the young man asked encouragingly.

"If we escape, can we really shake them off?"

Qing Yise didn't believe it, especially since all 16 districts were White Walkers' spies, and the chances of actually being able to move to another place and survive safely were extremely slim.

But how do you say this to young people?

The world of ordinary people has nothing to do with the White Walkers. They live comfortably in their cages. It is not easy for them to accept the day when they are told that there are White Walkers living around them who subvert their worldview.

"It's no use. The people I've offended are very powerful. I probably won't even have a place to stay in District 16."

Qingyi said with a melancholy expression.

"It's that serious?" the young man murmured.

"Yes, Brother Qinsheng, I'm sorry to have dragged you down."

"It's nothing. This reminds me of when I was a kid and ran away from home because I was too rebellious." The young man even had the mind to laugh. "In the end, I survived by relying on my own efforts. I was a bit of a teenager and always wanted to defy the whole world."

"Ugh...it sounds so embarrassing now," Qing Yise said, but inwardly she sighed. Wasn't her own situation just like that?
It's just that I might not have the courage to live against the grain of the whole world.

"Haha, I'm quite proud of that." The young man flashed a smug smile, revealing his white teeth.

"What? Brother Qinsheng is clearly still a child who never grew up." Qing Yise knew that the other party was trying to make her happy, but the effect was surprisingly good, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"I'm serious." The young man smiled, but his tone gradually became more resolute.

Qing Yise suppressed her smile and looked at him.

"In life, everyone has to fight for something. Sometimes the situation is terrible, the encounters are unsatisfactory, even to the point of standing on the opposite side of the world, isolated and helpless. But so what? If you have the courage to persevere, why not live a magnificent life for yourself? Failure is no big deal; you simply leave the stage with your dreams, and at most, no one will remember you. But in the world anyway, who will miss you every single second? And if you succeed, then—"

He gazed into the distance, his eyes seemingly holding a vast galaxy.

"What they are writing is their own myth."

The green was all silent.

Listening to the young man's description, she also felt a longing for that world full of courage and fighting spirit.

"Does it really exist?" she murmured. "It gives people the courage to stand against the whole world."

"Yes, there is." The young man looked at her, his eyes deep. "There definitely is."

"It's hard to believe, but it doesn't sound like I'm all alone anymore."

Qing Yise's voice grew softer and softer, and his tone even became somewhat relaxed at the end.

The girl tilted her head and drifted off to sleep on his shoulder.

The white smoke from the mosquito coil wisps gently, carrying a sweet fragrance that lulls you to sleep.

Jin Ziyue gently carried the girl to the bedroom, made sure she wasn't awake, and then turned and left the room.

Fu Xun was already waiting for him outside.

His clothes were somewhat disheveled; the sweat had barely dried, and dust and dirt clung to his collar, clearly indicating that the fight had taken some effort.

"Is she asleep?" Fu Xun asked, wanting to confirm.

"Hmm, hallucinogenic incense, not much, but enough."

Jin Ziyue walked up to Fu Xun with an indifferent expression.

"Let's summarize the intelligence we've gathered today."

There's a section in the middle that's a tribute to a puppy, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture that feeling.
