Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Furninna looked at the sea quietly. The sunlight shone through the carved railings of the terrace, casting tiny spots of light on her slightly trembling eyelashes.

The sea breeze, carrying salty water vapor, flowed over the gilded candlestick, and the candlelight swayed in the mirror, creating uneasy ripples.

"Do you need me to temporarily close my consciousness?"

The reflection in the mirror suddenly rippled, and the silver-blue hair of Fukalos emerged from the water.

The god's fingertips lightly touched the mirror, and the entire dressing mirror suddenly glowed with a soft light like mother-of-pearl.

“Don’t!” Furninha pressed the mirror frame in panic, “If you were here… I’d feel more at ease.”

The fingertips felt the cold touch of the mirror, and the pupils of the person in the mirror were watery. The memories diluted by time suddenly came flooding back like a tide.

The torrential rain that split the godhood and personality, the lines I rehearsed alone in the empty Mo Mang Palace, and the trembling corners of my mouth when I practiced smiling in front of the mirror every late night.

Five hundred years of loneliness turned into tiny pearls, which are now tinkling deep in my soul.

“He’s coming.”

Fucaros' voice brought Furninna back to her senses.

Familiar footsteps were heard outside the terrace, the floor and boots making crisp sounds, and every step seemed to be stepping on her tense heartstrings.

When Su Xun came into the room, he saw Fu Nina fiddling with the tea set with her back to him.

The sunlight was like a golden gauze draped over her thin shoulders, and her blue and white top hat was placed diagonally on the rattan coffee table.

The gilded teaspoon made a crisp sound when it collided with the porcelain cup, but the movement, which should have been elegant, was actually a little flustered - the deep red tea had already overflowed from the edge of the cup, spreading dark red flowers on the lace tablecloth.

“Let me do it.”

A warm palm suddenly covered her cold fingers.

Furninda shuddered, and the spoon fell with a clang into the gilded saucer.

When she realized that her back was almost pressed against his arms, she quickly grabbed the edge of the table and tried to retreat, but Su Xun grabbed her waist. "Be careful of the tea stains."

A warm breath brushed past her ears, and she realized that the hem of her skirt almost brushed the black tea on the table.

Suddenly, a chuckle was heard.

They both turned their heads at the same time and saw strange ripples on the surface of the full-length mirror. Fukaros' figure was looming in the water, and his long silver-blue hair was like silk condensed by moonlight, intertwining with Fu Nina's frosty hair in the mirror.

Seeing this scene, Su Xun's eyes widened slightly, and he looked stunned.

……

After half an hour.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment.

Su Xun and Fu Nina sat opposite each other. Fucaros in the full-length mirror next to them also pulled up a chair and sat down, watching the two of them quietly.

However, Fucaros's attention was mostly on Su Xun, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Before this, she had always been staying in the Cardinal's Office of Enlightenment and had not yet properly observed the person who had attracted "her" attention.

Now it seems that Su Xun does have an outstanding temperament. His gentle eyes and brows reveal calmness and depth, and he exudes a unique charm. No wonder not only Funina, but so many other women are so infatuated with him.

"It seems that the direction is right, but the result is a little different, which surprised me a little..." After a moment of silence, Su Xun shook his head and sighed.

"Ok?"

After telling the truth, Funina was still a little nervous and uneasy, fearing that Su Xun would be angry or disappointed because of the secret and then leave her.

But when I heard his sigh, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What do you mean? Have you guessed long ago that I'm not the God of Water?" Finina blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

Su Xun smiled softly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair beside Funina's ear, and said: "No, you are the God of Water, playing the role of a god with the will of a mortal for five hundred years. No one can match this tenacity and courage."

"Moreover, you are actually the same person, both in terms of your godhood and personality, and you both share the same body. In my mind, you are the real Water God. Interestingly, I originally thought that you were not the real Water God, but a follower of the Water God or someone who was given special responsibilities by the Water God. As a result, it seems that I was wrong."

Hearing Su Xun's words, Fu Nina was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "So, you... don't blame me for hiding it from you for so long?"

Tears glistened in her eyes and her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt, as if she was waiting for an answer that would decide her fate.

Su Xun gently held her hand, and the warm touch from his palm gradually calmed Funina's originally panicked heart.

"How could I blame you?" Su Xun's voice was gentle but firm. "You carry such a heavy secret and bear so much pressure alone. I feel sorry for you."

Furninna could no longer hold back her tears, and they burst out.

Over the years, she has been wandering in loneliness and fear, and never thought that one day, there would be someone who would stand by her so firmly, understand her, and feel sorry for her.

She threw herself into Su Xun's arms and burst into tears, venting all the grievances, fears and anxieties of five hundred years with her tears.

Su Xun patted her back gently, as if he was comforting a wounded animal.

Fucaros couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Fu Nina like this.

Although she shared memories with Fernina, due to her divine transcendence, she could not fully understand what it felt like for Fernina, a mortal, to wander alone in loneliness and fear for the past five hundred years.

At this moment, she watched Funina crying in Su Xun's arms, and the crying sound was like a blunt knife, gently cutting her heart.

"Just cry it out, cry out all the grievances you've suffered over the years." Su Xun comforted softly, his eyes gentle and firm, as if they could dispel all the haze in the world.

In the room, dust floated slowly in the beam of light coming through the window, like fragments of time, witnessing Funina's belated emotional catharsis.

Su Xun patted Funina's back gently. The warmth from his palm was like the warm sunshine in spring, which gradually dispelled the chillness deep in Funina's heart.

After a long time, Funina's crying gradually stopped. She raised her head from Su Xun's arms, with tears still on her face and her eyes red and swollen from crying, but at this moment, there was a sense of relief and peace of mind in her eyes.

"Thank you, Su Xun." Fu Nina's voice was slightly choked with sobs, "Thank you for not blaming me and for being willing to understand me."

Su Xun smiled gently, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Funina's face, and said: "Silly, I said that I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

"Yeah!" Furninna nodded vigorously, her eyes red and she showed a happy smile.

At this time, Fukaros, who had been watching this scene quietly, spoke up: "Su Xun, your appearance is indeed an unexpected variable for us, but it is also one of the few warmth that Fu Nina has received in these years. On behalf of us, I thank you."

Fukalos' voice remained calm, but the sincerity in it was clearly audible.
