Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After the two finished their discussion on the expansion of Meilushin's employment scope, Chang Ming returned to his office to start processing today's official documents.

As the saying goes, there is no idleness in the Mo Mang Palace. There is the famous allusion that "Claude is a brick and can be moved wherever it is needed", and there is Navillatte who is either in court or on the way to court every day.

Oh, by the way, Villette’s other job is to help and support Melusin.

And he, Chang Ming... was busy dealing with all matters except the trial.

Including but not limited to foreign negotiations, external speeches, processing foreign trade orders, etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chang Ming's current identity is like those eunuchs in the palace dramas of his previous life. In Fontaine, every matter can be related to him.

This is the main reason why his office is spacious but seems very narrow.

Chang Ming looked at the desk in front of him which was piled with documents. He wanted to clean it up but didn't know where to start. All he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh.

"Let's get to work first... I have to make an extra cake for Funina as afternoon tea..."

Chang Ming picked up the feather pen on the table and began to correct the documents with ease.

Are you kidding? He has been doing this job for more than four hundred years, almost five hundred years. How could he not know how to do things?

......

As time went by, Chang Ming had fewer and fewer documents on hand. During this time, Meilushin from "Zhuyingting" came and took away some of the documents.

About three or four hours later, it was almost noon. Chang Ming finally put down the feather pen in his hand, stretched gently, and leaned back in his chair to think about life.

"Fortunately, the laws in Fontaine are relatively complete. If it were as free as in Mondstadt... I would have died of overwork long ago, and my immortal body would not be of much use."

After a short rest, Chang Ming slowly stood up, walked leisurely to the kitchen, and began to prepare to "apologize" to his own god.

He knew very well that Funina didn't really care whether those laws were struck out or not, she just wanted to use this as an excuse to give him a small treat.

Of course, he could also use the excuse that he had a lot of work to do and couldn't get away to refuse Funina's request.

But Chang Ming, who knew the inhuman responsibilities shouldered by this seemingly optimistic and cheerful, but sometimes a little weird, girl... really couldn't say such words.

Isn't it just a small cake? Doesn't it take an hour or two to bake? It's not like Chang Ming can't make it.

Although Chang Ming really wanted to comfort Funina with words, but... this might really make all the efforts of Fukalos come to naught.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is... this will make the years of loneliness and pain that Funina has endured seem insignificant.

This is not what he wants to see.

So what he can do now is to help Funina arrange her life and government affairs, so that this big star with a full schedule can have more time for herself.

This is what Chang Ming has been doing for more than four hundred years.

While thinking about this, Chang Ming took off the luxurious dress, put on a simple apron, and began to cook the food that Funina had loved for nearly five hundred years.

Just when Chang Ming was concentrating on cooking the cakes, Funina's little head suddenly appeared outside the kitchen.

The pair of beautiful dark blue and light blue eyes stared at the figure busy in the kitchen, and her heart felt a little complicated for a moment.

She knew very well what she was doing, and she also knew very well that Chang Ming was doting on her.

If the demon named Fukaros looked at her through the mirror again and asked her what had allowed her to persist for so long...

She would say two words without hesitation.

One is "responsibility" and the other is "gentleness".

The responsibility was entrusted to her by Fukalos, and the tenderness... was given to her by Chang Ming.

For more than four hundred years, he had never shown the slightest resistance to her demands, which even she herself felt were a bit unreasonable.

Every time he agreed with a smile and quickly put the results in front of her.

And when she asked Chang Ming why he chose to do this... he would always say with a smile:

"This is what the Water Demon God Fukaros, the famous celebrity in Fontaine, Ms. Funina, deserves."

Just this simple sentence controlled Funina for more than four hundred years.

And now, he would still habitually stand in front of her and block those things that she was not good at for her.

Be it paperwork or diplomatic negotiations, as long as Chang Ming is around, Funina will never be troubled by things she doesn't like.

Thinking of this, Funina suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot.

Her past with Chang Ming reminded Funina of those operas that were all about love.

He is like the male protagonist who will never leave, and she... is the female protagonist.

Furninna reached out her hand and gently rubbed her cheek, which was getting hotter and hotter, then tiptoed away from the kitchen.

"When the future where I am the only one sitting on the throne and crying is completely over...I can then show my true self to him, right?"

Furninna thought so.

......

Chang Ming didn't know that a greedy little blue cat came over and glanced at him when he was cooking a cake. He only knew that the girl who was burdened with fate needed a piece of cake as comfort.

Ding--

As the sound of the oven rang out in the kitchen, Chang Ming skillfully picked up the cooking gloves beside him, took out the cake base, and began the final round of processing.

More than four hundred years have not only honed Chang Ming's mind and clerical skills, but also honed his cooking skills, which are considered excellent in the other world.

After carefully decorating the dish with cream and cherries, Chang Ming clapped his hands in satisfaction, then picked up the plate and walked out of the kitchen, heading towards Funina's room as if he were familiar with the place.

The distance from the kitchen to Funina's room is only two or three steps away, plus...it's lunch time at this time, and no one from any official agency of Fontaine will enter Momang Palace.

The reason why Chang Ming is so sure...is only one reason.

In his previous life, he was a social animal who suffered from overtime work. When he took the position of regent, the first thing he did was...

Legislation prohibiting overtime work.

There will be no salary increase for overtime work, only salary deductions, except when there is a collective order.

In private enterprises in Fontaine, the overtime hours for each person per month cannot exceed 100 hours. Violators will have their wages deducted and the company will impose additional taxes.

At first, some employees did not take the law seriously, but after the first case of punishment occurred, they realized something.

This bill...seems serious.
