The daily life of a sickly girl in Liyue Port

Qianxue, who had sunk into the deep sea, didn’t know how much time had passed. The soft calls in her ears were always there, but unfortunately, Qianxue only felt that her eyes were so heavy that she couldn’t open them.

The severe physical injuries she suffered and her unwillingness to face separation caused her to sink into the deep sea.

A light appeared in front of her eyes, and the soft calling in her ears gradually became clearer. Someone was calling her name. The voice was as gentle as water, making her feel familiar and at ease.

In the vast deep sea, Qianxue slowly opened her eyes. There was light in the darkness before her eyes, and she could clearly hear the call in her ears.

"Qianxue...it's time to wake up. Don't forget the promise we made to each other."

The figure of Fucaros suddenly appeared in front of her. Qianxue remembered the scene of Fucaros' death. Her heart ached suddenly. She wanted to reach out her hand, but what she saw was just an illusion.

My fingers touched it with difficulty, but unfortunately it turned into nothing in an instant.

And then there was an extremely painful feeling of suffocation, which made Qianxue subconsciously cover her neck. In the intense feeling of suffocation, Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes.

Familiar ceiling, Qianxue dragged her tired body and slowly stood up. It was the room she and Hu Tao lived in in Mo Mang Palace.

There was bright sunshine outside the window. Qianxue glanced sideways and saw a scene she had seen countless times. Next to her was Hu Tao, who was sleeping at the head of her bed.

Bathed in the sun, Walnut's breathing is even and subtle, quiet and charming, and her lightly closed eyes reflect the beautiful scene, peaceful and vivid.

The beauty of the present moment made Qianxue feel that what she had experienced before was just a nightmare. She called out to Fucaros in her heart but received no response. Recalling her previous memories, she touched the earrings that Fucaros had given her.

She really left me...

Realizing this, tears appeared in the corners of Qianxue's eyes and slid gently down her cheeks like morning dew. She looked at Fontaine outside the window in a daze.

Now Fontaine should have been saved...

Just when Qianxue was lost in thought, she felt warmth at the corners of her eyes, gently wiping away her tears.

"Why are you crying as soon as you wake up? My impression of Qianxue is that she doesn't like to cry so much."

"walnut…"

Qianxue looked over and saw that Hu Tao had woken up. Her plum blossom eyes looked at her tenderly, and underneath the tenderness was a hint of heartache.

"Yeah, I'm here."

Holding Qianxue in her arms, Kurumi responded to her gently. She had experienced separation as a child and understood the pain.

She didn't cry or make a fuss, but just cried quietly in Walnut's arms. Golden sunlight filled the room, dust danced in the sunlight, and the water-drop gem symbolizing hope lay quietly on the table.

Outside the room, Ying and Paimon stood quietly.

"Traveler, are we still going in?"

"…Let Kurumi accompany Chiyuki first. Let's go buy some cakes. I heard that eating something sweet will make you feel better when you are sad."

"Well, let's go. We can go see Funina. I remember Funina also likes to eat cakes."

"Ah."

Yes, in a painful life, perhaps only sweetness can alleviate the numb pain.

The afterglow of dusk was as golden as gold. Qianxue sat on the bed and ate a small cake leisurely. Perhaps because she cried again today, the corners of her eyes were red, which looked extremely conspicuous and pitiful against her fair and delicate skin.

"So, has Funina moved out of Momang Palace?"

After swallowing the cake in her mouth, Qianxue looked at Ying and Paimon and spoke softly.

"Well, but her current residence looks pretty good, a two-story western-style building. It's just that Funina can't cook, so she only eats macaroni."

Paimon saw that Qianxue had woken up and was in good condition. His mood, which had been depressed for a few days, finally improved.

"That's good, thank you Paimon for telling me this."

Qianxue smiled gently and touched Paimon's hair. Paimon, who had become gentle, felt that his memory had gone back to the time when they first met. Qianxue was also so gentle at that time.

For some reason, Paimon's mood suddenly became depressed again, and Ying saw this and grabbed Paimon and threw him aside.

"How is Qianxue's recovery now?"

Looking at Paimon being thrown out, Qianxue was stunned for a moment and then curled the corners of her mouth. Ying asked about Qianxue's physical condition. Qianxue had scared her a lot in the opera house.

"Well... Hu Tao helped me get out of bed not long ago. It was a bit reluctant, but I should be able to recover in no time. What about Ying?

I heard from Walnut that you guys dealt with the whale that appeared in the opera house last time. Were any of you injured?"

Hearing Qianxue's caring words, Ying scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She actually didn't contribute much at that time and was basically just watching the show the whole time.

Navilette and Ying were both furious, and even Zhongli and Venti could handle it without much effort. Finally, Master Gongzi appeared and took the whale away.

"No, Zhongli and the others were all there at the time, and I just watched the show."

"Oh, I see. That's good."

Looking at Qianxue in front of him, Ying wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Suddenly, Ying seemed to think of something.

"Did Kurumi tell Chiyuki? About the water drop gem?"

Teardrop gem?

Kurumi didn't tell her, probably because she had forgotten. She had been with her since she woke up, taking her to try to get out of bed and walk, and now she was running to prepare dinner for Qianxue.

"Ok?"

Qianxue's puzzled expression made Ying understand that Hu Tao did not tell Qianxue.

So, Ying took the water drop gem on the table and opened her palm for Qianxue to see.

Setting her eyes on Ying's palm, Qianxue saw the water drop gem in Ying's mouth, a very ordinary sapphire, but Qianxue always had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"This is…"

"The remaining soul of Fukaros, the three divine powers are protecting the only remaining source of his origin. But this one source, if carefully nurtured in the future, if a miracle happens, maybe it can..."

Without waiting for Ying to say anything, Qianxue took the gem from Ying's palm into her own hand, with a sense of panic in her eyes as she lowered her eyes.

"I understand. Thank you Ying."

The bitterness in her heart surged up like a tide. Qianxue held the gem tightly, placed the gem against her chest, slowly closed her eyes, and felt the warmth from the gem.

"Qianxue..."

Qianxue opened her eyes and smiled softly at Ying's worried expression, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried Ying and Paimon-chan. The cake is delicious."

………………

Ying and Paimon left the room, and Paimon floated beside Ying with a bit of loss.

"Traveler, do you think Qianxue is angry with us?"

"Why would Paimon think that?"

"Because we did something too much to Funina."

"No, having known Qianxue for such a long time, doesn't Paimon know Qianxue well?"

Ying patted Paimon's head in amusement, and Paimon thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

But today, I always felt something was wrong when I was with Qianxue. I had doubts in my mind, so Paimon asked her.

"Alas, we must give Qianxue time to get over it. Although...it is very likely that she will never get over it in her lifetime, but time will tell us the answer."

Just like Grandma Ping, who has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years, when she talks about her death and her comrades, there is still sadness lingering in her heart. She can say it with her mouth, but her heart will not lie.

Hearing this, Paimon thought for a moment and seemed to understand what Ying said.

Dusk was like a farewell, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Kurumi prepared dinner, but Chiyuki didn't eat much, probably because she had eaten the cake before.

After dinner, Qianxue and Kurumi fell asleep together. Due to physical reasons, Qianxue was particularly sleepy.

At this time in Fontaine, Funina was living in her own room. On the table was the Thousand Spirit Mousse brought by Ying and Paimon. Funina tried the macaroni and was very satisfied with the meal.

The dessert after the meal was the Thousand Spirit Mousse on the table. After eating the Thousand Spirit Mousse, Funina looked at the photo album on the bed not far away. There was some hesitation in her eyes, but she finally chose to pick up the photo album.

The first page I opened was a photo of Fucaros and Qianxue. I felt indescribable emotions in my heart. The photo not only contained beautiful photos that Qianxue had taken when she was outside.

There were more photos of Fucaros that Qianxue took secretly. Fucaros in the photos made Funina smile. She didn't expect that she would show such an expression in the mirror.

And, of course, there was Furninha herself.

“The most perfect version of myself…”

It seems that she and Fukaros have no photos together, but they are the same person, so they are actually the same.

Five hundred years of planning, just to be able to sacrifice oneself?

Funina caresses Fukalos in the photo and says, I really want to see you again.

There was nothing to say all night, and time quickly came to the next day.

When Navia and the others learned that Qianxue had woken up, they all came to visit Qianxue. They were relieved to see that Qianxue was fine, especially Xi Lila, who hugged Qianxue and cried for a long time.

Helplessly, Qianxue had to coax Xilila like a child, which made Navia and Charlotte look helpless. Who was visiting whom after all? But it was understandable.

Funina, who was about to go out to buy more macaroni, was a little confused when she saw Ying and Paimon coming.

"Why are you here again? Is there another cake?"

Looking at the shining eyes of Funina, Ying and Paimon were helpless. They came here this time to tell Funina the news that Qianxue had woken up.

"There's no cake, but now Funina has a reason to buy cake and dessert. Qianxue has woken up. Shouldn't Funina go see her?"

After hearing the first four words, Funina became visibly disappointed, and Paimon's next words made Funina's eyes widen, and she touched herself in panic.

"What is Furninna doing?"

"Nothing! I get it, I'll go see Chiyuki!"

After saying this, Funina turned around and ran back to her room.

The operation confused Ying and Paimon for a moment, but since Funina knew about it, they left.

After returning to the room, Funina looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, fixed her hair, and stayed in the room for a while.

He looked out of the window and didn't see Ying and Paimon, so he walked out of the house.

Let's go buy dessert and cake first. Having been with Qianxue for such a long time, she knows very well what Qianxue likes to eat. Walking in Fontaine, everyone's attitude towards Funina has not changed much from before.

After buying the cake, Funina came to the outside of Momang Palace. Looking at the place where she had lived for five hundred years, she sighed in her heart, and walked in. No one stopped her.

He arrived at Qianxue's room door smoothly. When he was about to knock on the door, Navillatte pushed the door open and walked out. When he saw it was Funina, Navillatte was a little surprised.

But he soon realized that he was here to see Qianxue, so he made way for her, nodded to Funina, and left. His attitude towards Funina was no different from before.

Villette did not close the door, and Walnut in the room saw Furninna at a glance.

"Hey, Fernina, come in quickly!"

Hearing Kurumi's voice, Funina's ahoge moved, and then she walked into the room a little stiffly. After seeing Chixue sitting on the bed, Funina became silent.

"What, Fufu doesn't want to see me? You look like that."

Qianxue smiled slightly after seeing Funina. It was hard not to feel distressed after learning about Funina's experience, but Qianxue would not say it out loud. It was fine as long as they got along the same way as before.

"I don't have any expression..."

Funina muttered something, and after seeing Qianxue's current state, the stone in Funina's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Okay, stop looking so serious. Is that the cake you bought for me? Thanks, Fufu!"

"You're welcome, but I want to eat too."

"Together with you."

Qianxue and the other two divided the cake that Funina brought. Funina looked at Qianxue who was sitting on the bed and saw that she was in good condition. She seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Qianxue noticed Funina's expression and knew what she was thinking.

"Don't worry about me, Fu Fu. People always look forward.

Moreover, it is not without hope. As I said to Fu Fu last time, the reason why miracles are miracles is that they turn impossible things into possible things. I am still quite confident in this."

After saying this, Qianxue looked at the water drop gem on her chest. She asked Kurumi to make it into a necklace. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

Finina understood what Qianxue said, because Villette had told her.

"Qianxue is saying these things again... But, I understand."

"So, Fu Fu, do you want to go back to Liyue with us? Hu Tao invited you once before, and now I invite Fu Fu again. If you refuse, you know the consequences."

After saying that, Qianxue looked at Funina with a smile, and Hu Tao also smiled and hugged Funina from behind. Seeing this, Funina's face showed panic.

Although Fukalos said she would help Funina in the fight, she now has no fighting ability at all and can only hope mentally that Funina will win.

"Oh, I promised, I promised, I didn't say no, really."

Funina was about to agree, but she didn't expect to be tricked by the two of them again.

“Hehe, that’s right. When Qianxue’s body recovers, we will return to Liyue together. By then, Funina will be a general under my command!”

Walnut patted Funina's shoulder with a smile, and said something that made Funina confused for a moment.

"What general?"

"Of course it's the general of Wangsheng Hall. From now on, I will be Fu Fu's boss!

You know my colleagues, Zhongli Keqing and Wendy the poet, as well as other colleagues from the Second Rebirth Hall. When the time comes, I will take Fu Fu to meet them and let them know about our corporate culture!"

"Huh? I didn't say I was joining the Hall of Rebirth!"
