Chapter 374

"Eh?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and joked: "Focalors encounters problems and asks Sedene, I encounter problems and find you... it seems my status is higher?"

"Ah, ah... that... that is!"

Furina said in a panic: "That’s right, no matter from which aspect, the Cult Leader’s specifications are the highest! When the Cult Leader encounters problems, it must be handled by the gods of various countries! Focalors doesn't understand the status quo, then I must shoulder the responsibility, right!"

This panicked excuse-finding look is quite cute.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Mmhmm, reasonable!"

Furina breathed a sigh of relief and asked eagerly: "Cult Leader, are you tired?"

Gu Chen pondered.

If Neuvillette asked this sentence, it would probably be the literal meaning.

And at this moment, feeling the young girl’s expectant gaze, the meaning of this sentence translated is probably: You must not rest now.

Gu Chen replied: "I’m okay."

Whether it was separating Focalors from the Oratrice or settling all the aftermath, it didn't bring any fatigue to Gu Chen, just as simple as wiping off a wrong word on paper.

Upon hearing this, Furina cheered: "Then let’s go, I’ll take you around Fontaine!"

"Oh~"

Gu Chen suddenly realized: "Remember you also said you would treat me to cake, right?"

"Mmhmm!" Furina nodded repeatedly, then said: "Let’s go, let’s go!"

Came to the first floor by elevator.

No matter what kind of work it is, it cannot stop people’s enthusiasm for gossip.

Obviously, the matter of "Furina becoming the heroine of the past life series" is worth discussing well.

Furina was completely unprepared for this, and Gu Chen never rushes when there is no urgent matter.

Furina, who felt shy and embarrassed by such an atmosphere, had to reach out and pull Gu Chen: "Walk fast, if we go late, there will be no delicious cake!"

Seeing Furina pull Gu Chen away, people suddenly realized.

"I now think, whether Furina has the past life series or not is actually not important, right? Even if it develops naturally, I think we are probably passersby in a past life series now."

"Eh? If you say so... ha, could it be that Lady Furina will become Mr. Gu Chen’s first girlfriend in reality?"

"That’s not clear, it probably depends on Lady Furina’s efforts."

"Hope the CP I ship comes true, Lady Focalors bless~"

Out of the Palais Mermonia, Furina let go of her hand, her expression was a bit unnatural, and she whispered: "Don't take it too seriously..."

"Take what seriously?" Gu Chen hugged his arms, with a narrow smile in his eyes.

"Just... just..."

"Oh my..."

Furina didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, Furina said while walking: "Follow me to this side, the cake on this side is not bad!"

Followed Furina to a shop.

"Lady Furina, the cake you asked to reserve is here!"

The shop owner received the two personally, brought them to the empty second floor, and sent the cake over.

"Thank you!"

"You two take your time, I won't disturb you."

After the shop owner left, Furina said: "I like several flavors of cake in this shop, you try it!"

Took the spoon Furina handed over.

Gu Chen hadn't moved yet, and saw Furina sitting opposite, holding her cheeks with both hands and looking at her without blinking.

Their eyes met, Furina looked away as if nothing happened, and started with an expectant look.

Most girls like desserts, like Raiden Ei, Paimon, and Furina in front of her.

The cake in front of her looks very exquisite, with many fruits as decoration.

Gu Chen cut a piece and put it in his mouth to taste: "Hmm... unexpectedly good."

"As expected!"

Furina nodded in agreement, and while stirring the black tea in the cup, said: "Eat slowly, pad your stomach first, I’ll take you around properly later."

"Good." Gu Chen nodded happily.

Furina picked up the teacup and took a sip, glancing at Gu Chen several times from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Gu Chen was indeed in a good mood, she was very happy.

If he also likes desserts, then they have a common language, right?

Hmm~ hmm! A very good start!

Not long after, Gu Chen put down the tableware and picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Are you full? I booked a meal at the Hotel Debord, we will go over later." Furina said.

"Listen to your arrangement." Gu Chen took a sip of tea and nodded.

"Then let’s go around first!"

Furina stood up and came downstairs together to prepare to check out.

"Lady Furina, that can be considered my little heart." The shop owner waved his hand, indicating that Furina would be free to enjoy cake in the shop in the future.

Although Furina was very happy, she had her own persistence.

"This is your small business, I accept your heart, keep the Mora!"

Not to mention that Mrs. Havria helps her manage her finances, and there is a pension in the future, Furina behaved very generously.

Persuaded the shop owner with some crooked reasons, and after paying the bill, Furina took Gu Chen outside the shop.

It was already dusk.

Walking side by side on the streets of Fontaine Court, the residual red sunlight fell on Furina’s face, making her cheeks extra rosy.

Without paying attention, Gu Chen found Furina running into the distance, and then happily ran back with two bottles of Fonta and two straws.

"Na, this is a specialty drink of Fontaine!"

Took the Fonta, the bright liquid rippled in the bottle, Gu Chen unscrewed the cap, inserted the straw, and took a sip.

"Is it okay?" Furina asked.

"No wonder it sells so well, it’s really good." Gu Chen nodded.

"Mmhmm, this was invented by the Fontaine Research Institute!"

Furina was in a happy mood.

While strolling in the Fontaine Court, Furina was introducing some shops she thought were very worth visiting to Gu Chen.

As night fell, Furina took Gu Chen to the Hotel Debord.

A hundred meters away from the hotel, they accidentally met a tall woman with white hair and black highlights.

Fatui Harbinger "The Knave" -- Arlecchino.

"Unexpectedly met Miss Furina and Mr. Gu Chen, it seems my luck is not bad." Arlecchino greeted with a smile.

Gu Chen smiled and didn't speak.

"Hello." Furina nodded in response.

In the video of the past life series, she was a bit afraid of this Harbinger.

But after everything was exposed in reality, Furina was not afraid of her instead.

After all, this guy definitely has no reason to be so sharp to her, and, with such a powerful big shot beside her, Furina is even less afraid.

Looking at Furina with her small face raised, Arlecchino felt a bit funny.

She could perceive Furina’s change in state of mind.

If she had to make a metaphor, Furina in her eyes seemed like a defeated puppy suddenly having a master to support her and then bullying others.

"Thank you Mr. Gu Chen for taking action to solve Fontaine’s problem." Arlecchino bowed slightly, then gave way and said: "The two of you are going to dine, so I won't disturb you."

After Arlecchino walked away, Gu Chen said: "You are afraid of her?"

"G?"

Furina was stunned, shook her head repeatedly: "Afraid is not... anyway, I can't say it, I feel her aura is so strong..."

Gu Chen didn't commit himself. As a Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino’s aura is indeed very strong.
