Chapter 594

Precisely because of such skills, Gu Chen carried quite a few seasonings with him.

In just a moment, the fragrant grilled fish was handed to Furina by Gu Chen.

"Careful, it's hot."

"Oh, oh!"

Furina carefully blew on it before taking a bite, her eyes widening, sparkling with pleasant surprise.

Most fish have many bones, but the grilled fish processed by Gu Chen only had the spine and main parts left; as long as one wasn't stupid, there was no worry about choking, so the mouthful of fish meat made Furina exceptionally satisfied.

As his strength grew and he took more things lightly, Gu Chen's appetite for food became more serious.

People must have many hobbies, otherwise, they become devoid of desire.

Gu Chen, enjoying his own handiwork, had just finished half when he felt Furina's gaze.

He turned his head to look.

This silly girl could really eat.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had been prepared and had caught an extra fish, which he had grilled together just now.

After he handed it to Furina, she didn't stand on ceremony, her eyes squinting into crescent moons from happiness.

After finishing, she stretched and sighed, "It's been so, so long since I've been this happy."

Gu Chen didn't commit, then said, "Let's go, it's time to head back."

After sailing back and returning the boat to its owner, Gu Chen and Furina strolled through the Court of Fontaine.

Furina ran off to buy two cups of the milk tea that had become popular because of Kamisato Ayato; after giving one to Gu Chen, she held her own and sipped it happily.

Gu Chen turned his head to look at Furina.

Previously, when walking on the streets of the Court of Fontaine like this, there had been a fist's distance between them, but now that distance had been closed by Furina without a trace.

Just as he was pondering.

"Yo!"

Gu Chen came back to his senses and looked at the roadside, raising an eyebrow.

Venti, Zhongli, and Azhdaha were sitting on a roadside bench, each holding a cup of milk tea, legs crossed, seemingly having waited for a long time.

"When did you arrive?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

Azhdaha said, "Around noon. Heard you two went out fishing, so we just wandered around the Court of Fontaine, and then Venti said he smelled the scent of romance and told us to wait here."

Zhongli nodded gently to indicate it was true, while Venti chuckled and said, "The Anemo Archon's interpretation of the scent in the wind isn't wrong, is it? Look at these two, they clearly look like a young couple!"

Furina, who was just about to greet them, was instantly overcome with shyness.

Azhdaha slapped Zhongli's thigh hard and said, "See that? The old guy didn't believe it could happen so fast. Still being stubborn now?"

Zhongli reached out to rub the thigh Azhdaha had slapped and said helplessly, "Alright, you win."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you three have a place to stay..." Gu Chen said with annoyance.

"Sect Leader, don't worry. Neuvillette arranged a place for me and the old guy. As for Venti, he can just sleep in the sewer." Azhdaha waved his hand.

"What kind of talk is that!"

Venti curled his lip and said, "Everything was arranged for us, alright."

"That's fine then." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then said, "Go play on your own, we'll be heading off."

"See you tomorrow." Zhongli nodded.

Venti waved his hand: "Then see you tomorrow. Furina, keep it up! Win over the Sect Leader soon. If you don't know how to operate, just find me in private; I'm an expert at this!"

"At least we were once comrades on the same front, don't be shy. Our master strategist Teacher Venti will help you come up with ideas!" Azhdaha chimed in.

Furina followed behind Gu Chen with her head down, not speaking, her earlobes slightly flushed.

If she couldn't make any progress on her own, could she really ask Venti for advice?

Although that guy didn't have any practical experience either, what if he could come up with a feasible plan?

Thinking about this, they had walked quite a distance without realizing it, and Furina heard Gu Chen's voice beside her: "Are you really planning to ask Venti to be your master strategist?"

With her thoughts seen through, Furina felt embarrassed and kept her head down, not speaking.

Gu Chen smiled and didn't press further.

At this moment, the day was still early. Fontaine had produced many talents who had already created things similar to movies. Now that exchanges between countries were more frequent and close, geniuses had more inspiration, and movies were also very popular in Fontaine.

With plenty of free time today, and just happening to walk by the entrance, Gu Chen and Furina simply went to watch a movie.

The sky gradually grew dark.

After eating dinner together, they returned to the Palais Mermonia.

"See you tomorrow." Gu Chen walked out of the elevator.

"See you tomorrow." Furina waved her hand.

The elevator ascended, and Furina returned to her residence.

After washing up and changing into pajamas, she lay on the bed, reviewing everything from today.

【You have been invited to join the "Efficiently Strategy Gu Chen" discussion group. Do you wish to join?】

"?"

When she saw the group name, Furina was stunned for a moment, then immediately perked up.

Group Owner: Lumine.

Group Members: Venti, Zhongli, Azhdaha, Paimon, Yae Miko, Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei, Raiden Shogun, Buer...

Except for the first five, not a single one of the Sect Leader's wives was missing!

Furina was stunned; she didn't quite understand what they meant by inviting her to join this group.

Judging by the group name, could it be...

Furina subconsciously chose to join.

【Notification: Furina has joined the "Efficiently Strategy Gu Chen" discussion group】

【Venti】: Welcome! Now, everyone present is your master strategist! (Funny)

【Ganyu】: What an ugly name. (Qiqi? Fall)

【Hu Tao】: Get to the point! @【Furina】 What stage are you at? (Urgent, urgent, urgent)

【Barbara】: I guess they just held hands!

【Furina】: Th-that, why are you all...?

【Paimon】: Don't get it? It's actually very simple. There is only one Boss Gu, and no one will give up. If you fight over him, someone will regret it for life! Your little thoughts are written all over your face. Anyway, there are already quite a few mistresses at home, so one more doesn't matter. So, after everyone discussed it on 4.3, we agreed. It's just that we're a bit anxious seeing you haven't succeeded after a whole day. (Paimon? Hmph)

【Lumine】: Indeed.

【Hu Tao】: What stage are you at? Tell us! (Urgent, urgent, urgent)

【Venti】: Hall Master, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet! (Funny)

【Furina】: I feel like my thoughts were seen through, he didn't react much. (Sucrose? Aggrieved)

【Yae Miko】: I know this state of Brother-in-law! He's an old scumbag! Doesn't take initiative, doesn't take responsibility, doesn't refuse! (Yae Miko? Smirk)

【Furina】: (Collei? No response)

【Sister Guizhong】: Everyone, I have a plan!

【Sister Guizhong】: A-Chen doesn't have much to do in Fontaine at night and will probably rest early. He usually doesn't lock his door, so Furina just needs to sneak over at night, launch a surprise attack, and crawl into his bed! (Clever)

【Venti】: Good move!

【Furina】: Ah? Wouldn't that be a bit too unreserved? (At a loss)

【Buer】: Being reserved depends on the situation. In the current situation... after he finishes watching Lyney's magic show in Fontaine, he will immediately return to Mondstadt's Gunnhildr. According to the timeline, you only have tonight and all of tomorrow. The day after tomorrow morning he will return, and then the day after tomorrow at noon is the next issue of the Past Life series... The opportunity is right here. Whether you can grasp it depends on yourself.

【Lumine】: Still hesitating? It seems we have to use that move! Furina, you don't want to miss out on Gu Chen, do you? (Hu Tao? Smirk)

【Paimon】: Lumine, your Inazuma flavor is too heavy! (Paimon? Surprised)

【Lumine】: Just tell me if this sentence hits the heart or not! (Funny)

Furina asked herself, this sentence indeed had a great impact on her.

Should she continue to take the initiative, or just let it pass?

Furina had never considered the latter option, but Sister Guizhong's idea of crawling into bed was really too embarrassing!
