Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 228, Chapter 019: The girl tightly grasped the opportunity in her hand.
San Shui was momentarily lost in thought, but quickly recovered, revealing a mysterious smile, and said, "It's okay, I remember you said before that this is what makes it exciting. I'll keep at it until I succeed."

San Shui Lin Xin clenched her small fists as if making a vow, cheering herself on.

Jin Ziyue was already used to her bluntness, and said in his usual calm tone, "Then please keep up the good work."

"Tell me more about your story with Fu Qin, okay?"

San Shui raised his hand and said seriously, "I can learn!"

Jin Ziyue wanted to get angry, but looking at her eager expression, he couldn't vent his anger, so he could only say it more calmly:
"Let's try a different way to prank someone."

"I don't want to!" Sanshui cried out.

Yan Wuxun and Douzi felt a little awkward about the situation.

San Shui clenched her fists tightly, her head bowed low, biting her lower lip hard. Her bangs fell down, obscuring her face.
"Give me a chance... please..."

The girl's voice trembled slightly.

Yan Wuxun didn't know what to do either.

Jin Ziyue ignored him and said, "Next time you squeeze your tears and sniffle, be gentler. Too much stimulation is bad for your nasal membrane."

After saying that, he delivered a chop to Sanshui Linxin's head.

"Ouch!"

Sanshui cried out in anguish, clutching her head in her hands, her nose bright red, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, and said with dissatisfaction, "I've been crying! How could he do this to me, you scumbag!"

Clearly, she was resentful that Jin Ziyue had ruthlessly exposed her acting skills.

Yan Wuxun and Kou Dou then realized that the girl's so-called control over herself was actually true.

"Let's go back." Jin Ziyue glared at her, and Sanshui Linxin obediently shut up and dared not cause any more trouble.

For a moment, Yan Wuxun seemed to realize something.

It was as if I could see Jin Ziyue and Fu Qin flirting and teasing each other when Fu Qin was alive.

Sanshui Linxin was chased away by Jin Ziyue, and she lingered for a moment before leaving, petting the cat with reluctance.

The boots lay obediently on the ground, enjoying the girl's clutches.

Yan Wuxun kept Jin Ziyue's contact information, but he also understood that Jin Ziyue was still afraid of implicating them, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.

Night time.

Yan Wuxun watched Jin Ziyue and the girl leave, then silently lit a cigarette.

"Brother Xun, are you unhappy?" Douzi asked curiously.

"happy."

"Brother Jin doesn't seem as sad as before," Douzi said to herself. "I remember when Sister Qin first had her accident, his eyes were so red and scary, and it was heartbreaking."

Yan Wuxun patted his shoulder, glanced in the direction the two had disappeared, and said, "Don't worry, with us here, we won't let him fall into that kind of pain again."

……

San Shui Lin Xin followed behind Jin Zi Yue like a child who had made a mistake, her head down, her hands fidgeting behind her back, not daring to say a word.

“I’ve said it before,” Jin Ziyue said abruptly, “Three rules.”

"sorry."

"Where's Fu Xun?" Jin Ziyue glanced at her. In the moonlight, the girl's hair was smooth, and her expression held unease.

“I wanted to come out to find you, but I was afraid he would stop me, so I lied to him and said I went to Abbot Longyi to get something.”

San Shui Lin Xin whispered.

“You can’t fool him; something must have happened,” Jin Ziyue said.

Although it was quite an amazing skill for her to pry her position out of Fu Xun's mouth.

“After all, you’ve been gone for so long, I was worried you might be in danger.”

San Shui's expression betrayed her, and she gave an explanation that didn't match her true feelings.

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous if Fu Xun wasn't there?"

Jin Ziyue asked.

"I'm sorry, I won't kick that little light bulb away anymore," Sanshui Linxin said softly.

She looked at Jin Ziyue with some concern and said, "I waited for you for a long time and you didn't come home, so I thought I'd come out to look for you. And you were even injured, how could I not be worried?"

Jin Ziyue was speechless for a moment and replied, "It's alright."

Seeing that his tone had softened, Sanshui Linxin smiled and said, "You haven't seemed this happy in a long time. Is it because you saw Yan and the others?"

Jin Ziyue remained serious, looking at the road ahead: "It's just an illusion."

“No.” Sanshui Linxin shook her head and said, “Your soul is happy. I can see that wounded soul, which is on the verge of shattering, laughing.”

Sanshui Linxin said, "You originally just wanted to observe from afar today, right? But it seems there was some accident along the way that made you change your mind, because you were worried that if you were to die, you wouldn't even have the chance to say goodbye to them."

Jin Ziyue glanced at her with displeasure and quickened his pace.

"Don't be so stingy. What I meant was, if there's anything you need, I'll definitely help. You don't always have to fight alone in unknown areas, or things like that..."

San Shui Lin Xin's voice trailed off.

Jin Ziyue had already turned around and grabbed her hand.

"If you really want to help me, regain your abilities as soon as possible. All I need is for you to find your soul."

Jin Ziyue was getting impatient.

San Shui Lin Xin's hand was gripped tightly by him, causing her to wince in pain, but she still stared intently at him and asked, "Have you found Fu Qin?"

Upon hearing Fu Qin's name, Jin Ziyue surprisingly loosened his grip as if he were somewhat timid.

"I knew it! That captivating aura you exuded was just the sorrow of a broken heart."

San Shui Lin Xin wasn't teasing; rather, her tone was filled with pity. Her gentle gaze fell upon Jin Zi Yue's expressionless face, and she raised her right hand to gently cup his hand.

Jin Ziyue's face stiffened, but he lost all resistance to the girl's lovestruck gaze.

It must have been incredibly painful, going from the most unforgettable love to a bottomless hell.

Despite being a fragmented soul, it possesses a mysterious power that holds all the pieces together like glue, yet it loosens with every movement, seemingly on the verge of collapsing and shattering at any moment.

"I will help. As long as she exists, I will definitely help you find her."

As she spoke, she lowered her hands from her face, quietly stopped, patted the dust off her skirt, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed respectfully, her demeanor dignified, like a lady from a prominent family.

Under the moonlight, the girl's hair fluttered, but it couldn't hide her clear, bright eyes.

"Then, I will compete with her fairly and squarely."

Jin Ziyue listened to the girl's outrageous remarks, but he wasn't angry. He didn't know how to respond, so he said sullenly, "Whatever."

San Shui Lin Xin was very dissatisfied with Jin Zi Yue's attitude. Her quiet and dignified image instantly crumbled, and she pouted, saying, "Don't we need to give the seeded player some encouragement?"

Jin Ziyue said, "Okay, keep it up."

"Hey! Can you stop being so perfunctory?"

San Shui stomped her foot in anger, covered her face, and sobbed softly, "What a heartless and ungrateful man."

Jin Ziyue recalled the scene at Lao Yan's place just now, where she almost sniffled, forcibly stimulating her tear ducts, and tears came out on their own. She said:

"Your acting skills have no effect on me."

San Shui pouted in anger, her cheeks puffing up like balloons.

After a long silence, she finally said in a muffled voice:
"Who told you it was acting skills?"

Jin Ziyue's pupils narrowed slightly without him noticing.
