Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 183, Section 014: Bodyguard
"It's him?" Qing Yise thought of his ultimate goal for this trip.

So this is where you can find traces of this guy, and maybe even capture him.

But now I'm not in the mood for it anymore, and I even need the other person's protection.

Besides, this guy is from District 9, so we should get along better.

"Just him."

"Your chosen bodyguard is codenamed 'Mirror.' His/her resume is as follows—"

……

A moment later, Qing Yise's face darkened.

"Who does he think he is?!" she wanted to roar. Why should she have to pay 10 yuan just for being a bodyguard for two days?!
However, I have personally witnessed this guy's strength, so he is still trustworthy.

To ensure my and Qinsheng's safety these next few days, I decided to grit my teeth and get through it. Unfortunately, my plan to set aside some pocket money fell through.

Qing Yise walked out of the room after the transaction was completed.

The young man sat quietly on the sofa. When he saw her come out, he greeted her, "How did it go? Was everything alright?"

"Mmm." Qing Yise felt a warm feeling in her heart and responded sweetly.

"I contacted the smuggler and, considering your limited mobility during the day, booked a boat for tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow night? Okay." Qing Yise smiled happily.

So, she still has one day to spend with Qinsheng.

Although it's hard to part ways, we all have to go our separate ways eventually.

"Brother Qinsheng, where do you live? Remember to contact me when you go back," Qing Yise said softly.

"Yes, I do. My home is on Wutong Avenue in Huacheng, in an apartment building."

"Wutong Avenue?" Qing Yise's eyes lit up. "It's not far from our home, it should be about a half-hour subway ride away."

"Really? What a coincidence." The young man smiled.

"Brother Qinsheng, are your aunt and uncle at home? I can help you take care of them if I'm free," Qing Yise said longingly, but then seemed to realize something and her cheeks flushed.

"No need," the young man smiled. "I also have a younger sister who is in college. She usually goes back to take care of our mother on weekends."

He paused for a moment and then said, "As for my father, he has been gone for some time now."

"Feel sorry……"

"It's nothing, it's all old news," Jin Ziyue said with a frank smile.

"By the way, I used the extra money from the transaction to hire a bodyguard, who is also from District 9. Brother Qinsheng, you don't mind, do you?" Qing Yise asked.

“No problem, but there’s no ferry crossing near Zuojingdu. We’ll have to go to a neighboring city to cross the border illegally. I think, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let’s set off tonight. I’ve already booked a hotel.”

"Wine, wine, wine, a hotel?!" Qing Yise stammered, his face immediately turning pale with embarrassment.

"Well, they said there were no single rooms available, so we booked a double room. I'm sorry to trouble you," Jin Ziyue said apologetically.

"No, no, no, I'm not wronged!" The girl waved her hands repeatedly. "I've always been like a wild boy since I was little, I'm used to living here!"

She didn't dare look at Jin Ziyue, her eyes darting to the tips of her shoes, her hands nervously fidgeting with each other, her expression solemn.

"I just forgot to consider the bodyguard. How about we book another room? I'll feel more at ease with a bodyguard taking care of you. I'll stay next door."

"Ah?" A look of regret appeared on Qing Yise's face.

“I’m not very comfortable around strangers,” she said softly.

"Then... I'll stay with the bodyguard, and we'll get a single room nearby."

Qing Yise pouted and said, "Okay then."

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Jin Ziyue looked towards the doorway, then glanced at Qing Yise.

“That guy must be here,” the latter explained. “Be careful.”

Jin Ziyue nodded.

He walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and said, "It's a person wearing a mask, with one eyebrow and eye raised on one side and a mournful face on the other."

Qing Yise nodded and said, "It's him."

Jin Ziyue hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

The man before me had short, neat hair, but wore a white mask, a black trench coat, black boots, and leather gloves, exuding the aura of a master.

"Hello..." Jin Ziyue greeted cautiously.

The other person waved his hand, showing no intention of speaking, and walked straight into the living room.

Qing Yise also looked over, and when she saw this guy again, she was filled with mixed feelings.

“I didn’t expect it to really be you,” she said.

The other person's mask looked at her, nodded, and said nothing.

"This is my friend, Brother Qinsheng, who will be traveling with us."

The other person nodded.

“Although there were some conflicts before, we hope you can be more understanding now. We need your help,” Qing Yise said.

The other party nodded, but only briefly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Can you say something?" Qing Yise asked, displeased.

The other person shook their head, the arc of which was imperceptible, and seemed to freeze for a moment before making no further movements.

"Hmph, really, what's with the mysterious act!"

"Miss Qing, perhaps all experts have their own tempers," Jin Ziyue advised.

Although she was unhappy, she let it go since Brother Qinsheng was there. She said, "We might have to leave tonight. Brother Qinsheng, why don't you tell him?"

Jin Ziyue explained the general details to the other party, but when it came to booking a hotel, the other party shook their head.

"Don't you need it?"

The other party finally made an unnecessary movement, gesturing rapidly.

"This..." Qing Yise was somewhat bewildered.

“It’s sign language,” Jin Ziyue explained.

The other party's gestures kept changing:
Have you ever seen someone wearing a mask swaggering in front of others?

"He said he couldn't appear in the public eye and would hide himself away," Jin Ziyue explained.

“That makes sense.” Qing Yise nodded.

"Besides, what does your womanizing have to do with me?" The other person's sign language became faster and faster.

"He said he would scout the area and alert us if there were any problems."

"Okay." Qing Yise turned to look at Jin Ziyue, her eyes sparkling. "Brother Qinsheng, you can even read sign language, that's amazing."

“I had friends in the sign language team in high school, and influenced by them, I studied sign language intensively for a while.”

"Hey, Qin forced you to learn that, okay?" The man in the black trench coat clearly disagreed.

"What else is he saying?" Qing Yise tilted her head, like a curious child.

Jin Ziyue explained, "He was saying that my sign language skills are good."

Then, with a fawning smile, she said to the man in black, "Thank you."

"Excellent." Qing Yise raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs up.

The man in the black trench coat straightened his neck, silently raising his middle finger in his mind.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

This time, Qing Yise only needed to give Jin Ziyue a glance, and he readily translated:

He said he wouldn't stay long and would appear when needed.

Qing Yise thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, otherwise it would be too conspicuous."

"Fine, you win, you're kicking me out, huh?"

Even though Qing Yise didn't understand sign language, she could still tell that the masked man was furious.

"This guy doesn't seem as aloof as I imagined," she murmured.

Jin Ziyue chuckled and said, "He's complimenting you on your beauty."

Qing Yise was amused by him and said, "This time I won't believe anything you say."

Having said that, she turned to the masked man, her expression unfriendly, but her voice now carrying a hint of confidence. She poked his face with her slender fingers.

"Okay, Jin Ziyue, is that your name? Don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your identity. I didn't realize you were such a closet pervert."

These words stunned both of them.
