Chapter 381

The same shop, the same position, different moods.

When coming for a candlelight dinner yesterday, Furina and Gu Chen could only be considered friends.

And today, Furina finally had the status to have a candlelight dinner with Gu Chen.

Happy~

Furina's mood was written all over her face, the girl's full of smiles and liking was even more moving under the candlelight.

Gu Chen raised his hand to wipe off the cream on his face, took a look, and then wiped it on Furina's face with his backhand.

"!!"

Furina’s eyes widened, then she gave a sly smile.

She approached Gu Chen, standing taller than him as he sat, reached out to lift his chin, and then lowered her eyelids.

Just when Gu Chen thought she was going to kiss him, this fellow pressed her face against his and rubbed it against him.

Sweet cream was smeared evenly across both their faces, and Furina put her hands on her hips triumphantly: "Now we're both the same!"

Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "How can we be the same? Huh? Is that a shooting star?"

Furina immediately turned her head to look out the window, and the next moment, a large hand smeared with cream was wiped across her face.

"Damn it, you ambushed me!"

Furina let out a coquettish cry and immediately retaliated.

After a bout of playful chasing, a meal that should have taken half an hour to finish ended up taking over two hours.

This luxurious private room naturally had a bathroom, and the two of them washed their faces clean before walking out.

After paying the bill, each of them held a cup of milk tea as they walked back.

Furina leaned forward and tilted her head to look at Gu Chen: "Let me taste yours!"

"Aren't they both the same?"

Gu Chen was dumbfounded, but still handed the milk tea in his hand to her lips.

She took a sip with her small mouth biting the straw, and Furina’s small face flushed red: "Hee hee, does this count as an indirect kiss~?"

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow: "If you want, we can have a direct kiss too."

Furina covered her mouth and said: "Eww—no, no, there are still so many people on the street..."

"Oh~"

Gu Chen feigned sudden realization and whispered: "You mean, it's okay in a place with fewer people?"

Furina’s face turned even redder, her delicate earlobes turning bright red, and she whispered in the smallest voice possible: "I-it's okay."

A young girl’s blush surpasses everything.

Gu Chen was in a great mood and reached out his right hand to wrap it around the charming Furina.

Although her delicate body stiffened for a moment, Furina didn't even offer a subconscious resistance; she just leaned closer to Gu Chen and whispered: "Hurry home."

They returned to the Palais Mermonia all the way, and by then, the night was deep.

Neuvillette was standing at the entrance of the Palais Mermonia, and Focalors stood with her hands in front of her, looking at the two who were huddled together with a faint smile, teasing: "Oh my, even though you left first, you still came back later than us~"

"Mind your own business when it comes to couples!" Furina huffed coquettishly.

Neuvillette couldn't help but laugh, then added: "Congratulations to you both."

"Hehe, thanks." Furina’s smile was radiant.

Focalors also smiled and offered her blessings, though deep down, she felt a little strange.

Focalors couldn't quite put her finger on what kind of feeling it was, but seeing Furina and Gu Chen together, she felt genuinely happy.

"It's getting late, everyone should rest early. Mr. Venti just called me over to play cards... I think I might lose some Mora tonight." Neuvillette had a bit of a headache.

Focalors laughed: "Let's go, let's go~ They called me too, let's go join in the fun~"

Focalors understood what Venti meant; only the naive Neuvillette thought Venti really wanted to find someone who couldn't play cards at all to play with him.

With the happy thought that she would win a lot of Mora tonight, Focalors waved goodbye to the two and then urged Neuvillette: "Hurry, hurry."

"Oh."

Neuvillette nodded.

Having such a bad friend who was so eager to make him lose money was quite helpless, so he could only follow along with his head down.

Watching the bad friend and the honest dragon leave, Furina could feel her cheeks burning.

She gave a light cough and then whispered: "L-let's go upstairs."

Gu Chen came back to his senses and nodded, stroking his chin as he thanked Venti in his heart.

You have to say that ginger gets spicier with age; even when Venti wasn't here, he could still provide an assist.

Thinking of Jean and Barbara... the number of times Venti had provided him with support was truly not small!

Walking into the Palais Mermonia, there was no one else besides Gu Chen and the others.

Gu Chen guessed that Focalors must have made up some excuses for Neuvillette to send everyone home on leave.

Stepping into the elevator, Furina pressed the button for the fifth floor and then stood in front of the buttons without moving. Gu Chen, watching this scene, was dumbfounded and laughed.

This silly girl seemed very eager to deliver herself into his mouth.

Arriving at the fifth floor.

After changing shoes and walking into Furina’s residence, Gu Chen discovered that Furina’s room was very, very large.

It had a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and all that, and the area was exceptionally large.

Even without entering the bedroom, Gu Chen estimated it to be dozens or even over a hundred square meters.

This time, he might have really hooked up with a rich woman.

"There's a bathroom over there, I don't have a change of clothes, but it shouldn't be a problem for you...~"

Furina lowered her head, clutching her pajamas, and while talking to Gu Chen, she rushed into her bathroom as if fleeing.

Gu Chen leaned back slightly, and then heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Without thinking too much, Gu Chen also went to wash up.

As for changing clothes, it wasn't difficult at all; a cleansing spell could easily handle it, and if one were lazier, one could even skip the bath.

But life should always have some sense of ritual.

After washing up, Gu Chen sat on the sofa waiting.

After a long while, Furina finally walked slowly out of the bathroom wearing her pajamas.

Wisps of heat were rising from her damp hair and her white pajamas.

She looked as if she were drunk, her cheeks flushed red, and she was swaying and dazed as she walked.

She came to Gu Chen’s side, sat down, leaned into his arms, and said: "Hair~"

"Alright."

Gu Chen reached out, his warm palm covering Furina’s head, and in no time, her damp hair became fresh and soft.

Furina turned around to look at Gu Chen.

Without any hesitation, she slowly closed her eyes and leaned her lips forward.

Gu Chen was not a passive person and immediately gave a powerful response that left Furina breathless.

"You have so much kissing experience, you're cheating..."

"If you're bad, practice more... just so happens I can practice with you."

"Wuu wuu... you're bullying me!"

"This is just the beginning?"

Gu Chen’s mouth curled up, and he directly picked Furina up and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Eh—"

Furina let out a coquettish cry and said shyly: "T-turn off the lights..."

Court of Fontaine.

On a high rooftop.

Venti, Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli, Azhdaha, Focalors, and Neuvillette were squatting there.

It was unimaginable that five beings whose identities were either gods or dragon sovereigns could squat here to watch the fun.

"I thought we were really playing cards..."

Neuvillette never expected that he was still too naive.

"Just say whether we're playing cards or not." Venti laughed and casually threw out a playing card, then, seeing the lights on the fifth floor of the Palais Mermonia go out, said: "Alright, what happens next isn't for us to watch, we can really play cards now."

"Sometimes it really has to be you, another pair." Azhdaha gave Venti a thumbs up.

Hearing this, Venti immediately raised his head and chest proudly: "Then why don't you look at who I am!"

Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli curled his lips: "Don't get cocky, it's your turn to play."

The next day, early morning.

Gu Chen had already woken up but hadn't gotten out of bed.

Furina was hugging his right arm, her white, smooth calves exposed from the hem of her pajamas resting on him, her head pillowed on his shoulder, that ahoge swaying gently and irregularly, her sleeping face carrying a faint sense of exhaustion.

Gu Chen carefully changed his posture, pulling Furina into his arms.
