Chapter 18 Fufu's Crying, Confession in Dreams
When an actor makes a mistake on stage, the panic and fear he experiences are indescribable.
Because this mistake meant that he had messed up his performance, it also meant a stain on the entire drama, and even meant the end of his acting career.
The consequences are terrible, right?
But that's all.
What would happen if Funina was exposed?
She thought that once she was exposed, the entire Fontaine would never be saved!
Everyone will be drowned in the sea, everyone will be dissolved, leaving only the water god sitting on the throne and crying alone.
She doesn't want that kind of result!
So she forced herself to keep acting, no matter how long it would take.
Can't stop, can't be exposed!
But today... it was exposed! ?
Seeing that Fu Nina was so frightened that her pupils had lost focus, Gu Chen quickly comforted her:
"Don't worry, Funina, you haven't been exposed. Everything is fine."
Furninna's mind was quite confused.
She didn't know whether she should believe this, or trust the person in front of her, but she still had some basic logical thinking:
"You... who are you? How do you know all this..."
Suddenly, Funina reacted and continued to perform with all her might:
“No! No!
Ahem, you stranger, I don’t know where you came from. What were you talking about just now?
It's really confusing. Even I, a god, don't understand it!"
Gu Chen looked at her distressedly, his tone as gentle as ever:
"Funina, you don't need to act in front of me.
I know everything about you, your pain, your confusion, your numbness, and your persistence.
You can talk to me, you can relax with me, you can... rely on me.
Because I am not from the continent of Teyvat, I am a visitor from another world.
It’s okay to tell me some things, especially since I already know them.”
Funina took a step back in shock.
Her whole body, including her soul, began to tremble. At this moment, her scalp felt numb and her heart was like waves.
Really... can I really talk to him?
He... he said he is not from Teyvat, he is a visitor from another world!
It should be okay, right? It should be okay to talk to him, right?
But...what if he's lying to me?
No, listening to him, he already knows a lot of things!
I... I really want to find someone to talk to, I really want to talk to him, I broke down a long time ago, and now I am just holding on numbly...
I...I...I can really...
In order to gain Funina's trust and to encourage her to muster up a bit of courage, Gu Chen continued:
"Funina, it's almost time.
You have persisted for hundreds of years, and your mission is about to end.
The self in the mirror promised you that everything would end in a grand, dramatic trial.
It is true, that judgment is coming soon.
In a few years, the sins of the people of Fontaine will be washed away.
People will not dissolve in the sea, the water god will not sit alone on the throne and cry, and everything will be saved.
This is all thanks to you, Funina, thanks to your persistence over the years.
Fufu, well done."
Gu Chen in front of her kept calling out to Funina, but Funina was still able to hold on.
But the last simple and touching "Fu Fu" was as friendly and casual as a nickname, which made her break down immediately!
No one ever called her that.
Once upon a time, she also wanted to be called like this!
Finally, the Water Daughter seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions. Her tears flowed down, and she could no longer hold back her feelings.
Squatting down and covering her eyes, Furninna sobbed loudly and cried uncontrollably:
“S-sorry!
I...I can't hold on any longer!
Wuuwuwuwuwu…”
The cries and howls echoed in the dream, and the grievances and pains of many years were as unstoppable as a flood!
Even at this moment, outside in the real world, in the bedroom of the water god's residence in the Fontaine Momang Palace, Funina was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.
She remained in a peaceful state of sleep, but her tears continued to fall, soon wetting the pillow.
In the dream, Gu Chen waved his hand, and the objects around him began to change.
Instead of a sofa, he opted for a large swing.
Sitting side by side with Funina on the swing, Gu Chen rocked slowly and patted Funina's shoulders gently, trying his best to give her the greatest comfort.
If he wasn't worried about being rude, he would have hugged her long ago. Why would he be so cautious?
However, caution is necessary.
It was rare for Funina to have someone like him to confide in.
What if he was too direct and scared Furninna, causing her to refuse to talk again?
So, everything has to be done step by step, and everything has to be done slowly.
The night is still long, and they have plenty of time in their dreams.
Funina can talk slowly, and Gu Chen can listen slowly.
On this swing, Funina didn't know how long it took her to slowly stop crying.
In this sunshine, Funina slowly narrated everything about her life.
Right next to Funina, Gu Chen listened attentively, just being a listener.
Before I knew it, the night of dreams was over and it was morning.
I don’t know why, but there is no obvious time difference in the continent of Teyvat.
When it is morning in Fontaine, it is also morning in Mond.
He had no choice but to say goodbye to Funina in his dream and promised her that he would meet her in his dream again tonight.
Under Funina's anxious and hopeful eyes, Gu Chen's consciousness left.
Following the way he came, which was the water vein connecting to the continent of Teyvat, Gu Chen was in a trance and quickly brought his consciousness back to his body.
At this moment, Funina from Fontaine and Gu Chen from Mond woke up at the same time.
Furninda opened her eyes.
She looked around at the room that hadn't changed in hundreds of years, and wondered if last night was all a dream.
No, that was just a dream.
She was just worried about whether the dream was real and whether she really had someone to confide in.
If she had never had it, how could she lose it?
So Finina was very frightened and afraid that it was all fake.
She was afraid that her friend named Gu Chen would not appear in her dreams again tonight, and she would be alone again, feeling painful, lonely and sad.
Lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, Funina suddenly felt something was wrong.
My pillow... is all wet!
Could it be that it was wet with my own tears?
The tears are real...which means that what happened in my dream last night...could also be real!
Her heart began to beat fast. She hoped very much that it was true, but she was also extremely afraid that it was false.
Funina knew that she would probably have to spend the whole day in anxiety.
Gods...are also entitled to take leave, right?
Otherwise... I'd better not go out today! Wait until night!
In this way, for the first time in hundreds of years, Finina did something that seemed to be contrary to her status as a god, and it was also the first time she acted a little bit willfully.
