Chapter 300: Comforting and explaining to Fu Fu
Gu Chen and Paimeng in the tent began to rest.
Shen He and Rosaline in the other two tents in the camp also began to rest.
Xiangling started to keep watch by the campfire, and overall there were no problems.
Gu Chen had nothing to worry about, so he fell asleep peacefully.
Unexpectedly... he started dreaming after just a short while of falling asleep.
Uh...it's not a dream, it's just...
Consciousness seeped out again, followed the water veins, and came to Fontaine, unknowingly connecting with Funina's dream.
When Gu Chen stood in this familiar dream in a daze, he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Is this...Funina's dream?
Wow, I haven't been here for a while.
Think about it too.
He was already with Funina day and night, so why would he need to meet her in his dreams? It was inevitable that this place would gradually become deserted.
So... why did he come here again tonight for no reason?
Is it because...
Gu Chen, who had expected this, turned around with a somewhat awkward expression.
Sure enough, Fernina was standing behind her with her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed up! She had a typical expression of someone who was going to accuse someone!
When he saw that it was Fu Fu, Gu Chen immediately understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.
Before he could begin to explain, Fu Nina held up the letter left by Gu Chen and questioned him angrily:
"Gu Chen, let me ask you, what's going on?
When I returned home from Fontaine, I found that the house was empty, with only this letter you left!
Well, when did you learn to act first and ask for my permission later? You didn't even say hello to me! "
With an embarrassed smile, Gu Chen pointed at the letter in Funina's hand:
"Isn't this the greeting?"
Funina shook her head angrily:
"That's not enough, it's too insincere! It's not explained clearly at all!
You just said in the letter that you would accompany Xiangling to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to find the Big Snow Boar King, and after finding him, you would also go to Mondstadt.
The letter didn't specify when you'd be back, nor did it specify what you were going to Mondstadt for. It was too ambiguous!"
After taking two breaths of air, Fufu continued to accuse:
"You know what? I finally got back from working a day at Fontaine. I thought I'd see you and have dinner when I got home.
As a result, the house was completely dark, with no lights on! I was at a loss as to what to do!
I turned on a few lights in the dark and found the letter you left behind. Then I realized that you all went out to play, leaving me alone!
How can I not be angry in this situation!?"
Seeing that Funina was still getting angry, Gu Chen quickly reached out and held Funina's face.
Sure enough, Fu Fu really liked this.
After having her face held in his hands, she looked into Gu Chen's gentle eyes, and her heart softened at once, and her original anger unconsciously began to dissipate.
After staring directly at Gu Chen for a while, Funina inevitably gave in and began to avoid Gu Chen's gaze:
"You...what do you mean? An apology?"
I...I'm telling you, I haven't forgiven you! At least not yet!
You...you have to at least explain to me clearly, what did you do today?
After finding that no one was at home, I returned to my bedroom in Fontaine through the golden space door and chose to sleep in my original bedroom for one night.
It’s not that I’m not used to that environment, after all, I’ve lived there for so many years.
It’s just… the bedroom in Mo Mang Palace always feels a bit cold, without any warmth of home!”
Listening to Funina's slightly coquettish and resentful tone, Gu Chen felt both amused and a little distressed.
Keeping the posture of holding Funina's cheek, Gu Chen began to explain:
“There’s a reason why I didn’t bring you out this time.
First of all, the environment in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is too harsh. You are not strong enough now, so why do you want to accompany us to suffer this hardship?
Then, Fontaine still can't do without you for the time being, and you still have to appear in front of the people of Fontaine every day.
If you continue to disappear for a while, the people of Fontaine will not be able to bear it, and then Villette will have to trouble me!
Considering all the above reasons, I didn't bring you this time, but just left a letter for you.
I just didn't expect that when you come home at night and see the house in such darkness, you will feel really bad.
I overlooked this, and I apologize."
Gu Chen's apology was heartfelt and sincere, and Funina certainly felt his apology.
With a curl of her lips, Funina accepted the apology with a bit of arrogance:
"Okay... okay, I forgive you, since you are so honest and what you say makes sense."
After forgiving her, she began to think carefully about the reasons Gu Chen had just given, and then sighed again:
“Alas… you’re right, Fontaine really can’t leave me now.
It’s obvious that I have always been acting and performing before, and it’s even okay to say that I’m just a mascot.
But I didn't expect that my presence would penetrate into people's hearts.
I just disappeared for a while, but the public reaction was so strong. I didn't know I had such a calming effect.
Now that I've truly felt this effect, I feel... a little proud, but also a little melancholy."
Holding Fu Fu's face with one hand and stroking Fu Fu's head with the other, Gu Chen's eyes were full of doting:
“This is what God does.
It doesn't have to be a real god, and it doesn't have to have the power of a real god, but such a being must exist.
As long as such a force exists, it can have a stabilizing effect on a country, and this effect is invisible and powerful.
So I told you from the beginning, Fufu, your role is more important than you think, and you don't need to underestimate yourself."
Funina is no longer the Funina of the past. Her mental state is much better. She no longer has as many negative emotions as before. Now she just sighs.
Nodding, Funina showed that she understood.
Then, with a frown on her face, Funina continued:
"Wait, Gu Chen, don't change the subject.
I ask you, what is your purpose in organizing this group trip without my knowledge?
The purpose of going to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain was to help Xiangling find the Big Snow Pig King. It was nothing more than looking for new ingredients. I know Xiangling on this point.
But after leaving Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, why do we have to go to Mondstadt?
It can’t be…”
When she said this, a hint of doubt flashed in Furninna's eyes:
"It can't be that you still have an old lover in Mond, right?"
Gu Chen's heart tightened slightly.
Good old friend?
Uh...are you talking about Lisa?
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all:
"What old lover? Fu Fu, what are you talking about?
The reason we're going to Mondstadt is because the Windblume Festival is about to start there, and we want to join in the fun.
By the way... the Knights of Favonius are offering me the position of Honorary Grand Master, I'll go and accept it."
