Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

When she thought of this question, Funina suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The more Chang Ming believed in the identity of the "Water God", and the better and more attentive he treated her, the more uneasy and frightened she became.

Although this sudden burst of thinking logic is a bit like a question that an insecure girl would ask, but...

The reason for this question is not without basis.

She knew very well that she was not a water god.

The better Chang Ming treated her, the more she looked forward to her daily life with Chang Ming after the prophecy ended.

But there is a very important problem here...that is, she doesn't know whether Chang Ming is good to "Funina" or to "Water Goddess Funina".

If it's the former, then everyone is happy, but if it's the latter...it's a bit too sad.

The reason why she thought of this question was because Chang Ming had recently changed the way he spoke to her.

In the past, he would never say the words "God", but would say "Funina" or "Sir Funina" very naturally.

What Furninha had to admit was...she panicked.

She was afraid that Chang Ming was actually good to the "Water God" instead of "Funina".

She was afraid that Chang Ming would leave her completely after she completed her mission and lost her identity as the Water God.

She was afraid that Chang Ming would collapse because he could not accept that the god he had served for nearly five hundred years was a fake.

She was afraid that Chang Ming would get hurt because of her.

Because he was so good to her.

Furninna was not only afraid of losing him, but also afraid that she would hurt him.

But...she couldn't do anything about it.

The only thing she can do is play the role she should play.

She waited quietly for the prophecy to end, for her responsibilities to be lifted from her shoulders, and finally told Chang Ming everything.

——Because she has responsibilities that she must bear and things that she has to do.

Thinking of this, Funina suddenly felt that the cake in front of her was tasteless, and the black tea that should have been fragrant did not have the slightest fragrance.

At this moment, her sense of taste completely failed, completely replaced by an uneasy bitterness.

She stretched out the spoon tremblingly, gently scooped out a piece of the cake she had been longing for and put it into her mouth, wanting to use sweets to comfort the bitterness in her heart just like she did in the early days.

But this time...the "trick" that had always worked for me in the past completely failed.

The cake still tasted soft and delicious, but Funina could not taste any flavor that matched her memory.

At this moment, the bitterness in her heart had overshadowed the sweetness of the cream.

But she did not stop what she was doing. Instead, she quickened the pace of eating the cake with a spoon, as if she wanted to use this method to let that hint of sweetness appear.

As the number of small cakes in front of her gradually decreased, the bitterness in her heart increased instead of decreasing.

A mist that had been lingering since she started eating the cake finally solidified at this moment, turning into a line of clear tears that slowly fell down the girl's cheek.

It was not until now that she realized that Chang Ming meant much more to her than she had imagined.

When she thought of Chang Ming's gentle smile and that foul promise, Funina suddenly found the cake in her mouth hard to swallow.

She hastily picked up the teacup beside her, drank the black tea in it, swallowed the remaining cake with difficulty, and tasted the bitterness of the tea.

After doing all this, Furninna looked out the window through the colored glass with lifeless eyes.

"What should I... do?"

She whispered in her heart.

......

Looking at Sedna pushing the cart away, a smile appeared on Chang Ming's face.

In a sense, he is not only the vice president of the Melusin Conservation Association, but also a good leader.

Whether in terms of working hours, salary, or employee benefits...he is indeed a very good boss and leader.

Just when Chang Ming had some other ideas about the judgment of his own attributes, his heartbeat suddenly quickened abnormally.

This kind of inexplicable palpitations may be normal for ordinary people, but...

Chang Ming is not an ordinary person. It is definitely not normal for something like palpitations, which has some metaphysical meaning, to happen to him.

He frowned slightly and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the reception room on the second floor of Mo Mang Palace, with a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

There is only one person who can make Chang Ming feel uneasy, and that is Funina.

"Could it be that something has happened to Furninha? But isn't Alechino gone? Why do I have this inexplicable feeling?"

Chang Ming thought so and quickened his pace back to the reception room.

As time passed, Chang Mingzao began to make plans for his and Funina's future life.

——Like Funina, Chang Ming is also looking forward to the time when he and Funina will live together after the prophecy ends.

However, he didn't know that the name he changed in order to stabilize Furninna's mentality and let her continue to perform firmly... became the blade that destroyed her.

If he knew this...he would definitely hug Furna without hesitation, comfort her and tell her his true thoughts.

But unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world, and Chang Ming does not have the ability to predict the future, so he cannot predict these things in advance.

Even if he had these abilities, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only express it all in a more obscure way.

......

When he returned to the living room, he saw Funina sitting quietly in her seat, drinking black tea quietly.

As if she had noticed Chang Ming's arrival, Fu Nina tilted her head slightly and said softly:

"Hmm? Chang Ming is back? Have you dealt with the snacks?"

Funina asked in a rather "relaxed" tone.

Hearing this, Chang Ming blinked slightly. Although he felt that Fu Nina was a little strange, he couldn't tell what was strange about her.

Looking at Funina, whose expression remained normal and seemed to be enjoying herself a little, Chang Ming finally put his doubts aside and nodded.

"Well, it's been processed and distributed to the Shadow Chasing Court members on duty. They're pretty tired from patrolling every day, so just treat it as an employee benefit."

"That's good."

Furninna simply dealt with it, then lowered her head to drink the black tea in her cup, and fell into silence and thought.

Chang Ming did the same. After sitting opposite Funina, he drank tea while observing what was wrong with Funina.

However, before Chang Ming could figure out what was wrong, Fu Nina seemed to have made up her mind and asked softly:

"Chang Ming...I want to ask you, if the person you have always cherished cheated on you, what would you do?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming was stunned at first, then he frowned and began to think about the meaning behind this question.

He knew very well that due to the restrictions of prophecy and responsibility, Funina was often unable to directly express her needs.

——She can only express her status in some rather roundabout ways.

Chang Ming, who had the script in his hand and had been with Funina for nearly five hundred years, quickly understood the true meaning behind this riddle that seemed to have nothing to do with Funina.

"What would you do if I told you that I'm not a water god?"

This is Funina's real problem.

"No wonder she was so nervous... It turns out she was afraid that I was actually doing good for the "God" instead of "Funina"..."

"Alas... Dancing alone in the dark, without a single sense of security, and unable to express normal emotions, this is really..."

After thinking this through, Chang Ming closed his eyes slightly and understood.

Soon, he began to think about how to tell her implicitly what his "goal" was.

After a brief thought, Chang Ming raised his head slightly, looked at the girl in front of him who was staring at him with her chin in her hand, and said softly:

"The Immortals are very strict in choosing their partners, and the people or things they cherish."

"They have experienced the test of time and understand how precious it is to have someone who can accompany you during this long period of time."

"So... when they choose someone or something they value, they won't let go easily."

"Although I don't know if I can be considered an immortal, the baptism of more than five hundred years has given me the same values ​​as them."

"Identity, status, way of speaking and so on are not important to me, because what I care about is the person, not other things."

"As for cheating... unless it's something that goes against principle, unless you want to say something to evade responsibility after I find out, the rest is not that important."
