Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 878 Her Gift

Funina snapped out of her daze, blinking rapidly to hide her panic. "What are you saying! That's so narcissistic!"

Su, narcissistic as ever, tossed her long hair and proudly declared, "I'm beautiful and strong! It's only natural for people to fall in love with me!"

Funina was speechless, but she stubbornly insisted, "It's not like I'll fall in love with whoever is prettier or stronger!"

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense." Su nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "But Funinga, you clearly—like me so much!"

She always easily revealed her true self in front of her, and having secretly observed them for so long, she looked absolutely radiant in Funina's consciousness space...

All these signs clearly indicate that Funina actually likes her a lot and has wanted to become good friends with her for a long time.

“If you like someone, you should express it frankly,” Su instructed Funina directly. “If you had done that earlier, we would have become good friends much sooner.”

So Su meant friendship!

Funina suddenly realized.

She had read many books and learned a lot about minds and emotions through cases and scripts, but she had no experience in analyzing her own emotions.

Because she never dared to get too close to others, let alone entrust her feelings to others.

Fearing that he might lower his guard and expose the secret he was keeping, thus ruining the rescue plan.

With no one to confide in and no friends to turn to, I can only lock my heart in a high tower.

The script was like a small window, allowing her to experience the intense emotions as an audience member through those bizarre and tortuous stories.

Will she finally experience the profound friendship depicted in the script—a friendship so deep that transcends worldly limitations and resonates with the soul, a bond that transcends life and death?

Although she was excited, the shy Funina still refused to admit it, "I don't like it that much, if I had to say, it's just a little bit..."

Funina's voice grew softer and softer until it faded away amidst the girl's disappointed expression.

"Just a little bit? I'm so sad, I'm going to cry!" Su covered her face with her hands and started sobbing.

Fu Ningna was at a loss for words. "You, you don't cry! I, I actually really..." Ahhh, it's so hard to say!

In a panic, Funina pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the girl's tears, but saw Su's smiling eyes peeking out from between his fingers.

Fu Ningna: "Wow! They actually played me!" And she, the best actress, was actually fooled by Su's terrible acting!

Seeing Funina's angry expression, Su, who was pretending to cry, lowered her hand and said, "Don't be angry."

She just wanted to hear some happy things from her family and friends, why was that so difficult?

"Hmph!" Funina turned her back.

Now is her time to strike back!

Sura pulled on Funina's sleeve, but Funina snatched her own sleeve back.

Su pointed at Funina's back, and Funina wrapped herself up in the blanket like a ball.

"Sigh," Su sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll give you a little apology."

With a "pop," the black-haired girl turned into a black and white cat.

Cat Su: "Meow~" Woman, are you satisfied with what you see?

"!" Furina exclaimed in surprise, throwing off the blanket. "Wow—you really can turn into a cat!"

Funina carefully yet impatiently pinched Cat Su's paw, "Mmm~~~ So soft!"

Its paws are so soft, its fur is so soft, its ears are so soft, and its tail is so soft! I want to pet it!

Cat Su was left disheveled from being rubbed by Funina, and with great difficulty, she managed to "flow" out of Funina's arms and dart to the side.

Cat Su: "Meow?" Are you satisfied?

"Huh? You won't let me pet you anymore?" Funina looked at Cat Su with disappointment. "Ever since I was playing with a cat on the street corner and was ambushed by the [servant], I haven't played with a cat for a very, very long time."

Cat Su: ...

Such an obvious attempt to play the victim...

Funina blinked her bright eyes pitifully.

Cat Su sighed and slowly returned to Funina's side.

Funina cheered and jumped out of bed with her cat Su in her arms. She turned on the gramophone and, to the melody of a serenade, started dancing with Su.

Forced to stretch out, Sue the cat tiptoed and danced haphazardly with Funina, who was half-bent over.

The dance was a mess, with no steps or rhythm whatsoever, but Funina was having a blast.

Cat Su looked utterly hopeless as Funina led her in hopping and spinning until Funina accidentally kicked over a box next to the sofa.

With a "bang," the box fell to the ground, and only then did Funina remember that Paimon was sleeping! She relaxed when she found that Paimon had only mumbled a couple of times and hadn't been woken up.

Funina turned off the phonograph, while Sue the cat curiously looked at the things spilling out of the box.

Is this all the luggage Funina was planning to take when she left Momang Palace? It looks like she took very little.

A few sets of clothes, a few books, and a tin box.

Seeing the familiar box, Cat Su transformed back into human form with a "bang" and shook the box.

The box in Su's hand clattered, and there was something inside, but it didn't look like candy.

“I ate all those candies a long time ago,” Funina said as she walked over. “They were pretty good.”

During the Linnie siblings' opera performance, the candy box that Sue threw to her was confiscated by Claurind, but after a random inspection confirmed it was fine, she took it back.

I originally just wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but the subtle sweetness of the candy was too tempting. When I was in a bad mood, I would eat one and before I knew it, I had finished it all.

"Isn't it delicious?" Su proudly introduced the sweet gift. "The ingredients for these fruit candies were grown by the Lannaros!"

As plant spirits, the Lanarolos possess unparalleled planting skills! The fruits and vegetables they cultivate are incredibly delicious.

Every time they returned to Huanalan, the Lanalos would bring out a large pile of delicious fruits and vegetables for them to take with them, as if they were worried that the Lanalos would go hungry.

The Lanaros were too kind to refuse, but there were just too many of them. Even after sharing some with friends and family, the traveler's party still couldn't consume them all.

Finally, Nasita helped Su find a candy shop with excellent craftsmanship and reputation, where they made some delicious candies from fruit.

The Lannaros absolutely love these candies from Su Huili, which are "even better than the taste of happiness!" and call them "The Taste of Sweet Dreams".

"Haha, I never expected there to be such a story behind these candies." Funina found it very interesting. "Those little elves really know how to name things, the taste of dreams... Hmm, it makes the candies taste even better."

Su gave Funinga a few more boxes of "The Taste of Sweet Dreams," saying, "Tell me when you've finished them."

After delivering the candy, Su asked Funina curiously what was in the candy box.

Funina took the box and opened it. Inside was a teardrop-shaped sapphire crystal watch ring – the Lake Maiden's Tears.
