Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Funina knew very well what kind of person Chang Ming was. It could even be said that...in this world, no one understood Chang Ming better than her.

On the surface, he looks very serious and solemn, and sometimes a little sinister, but these are only part of his appearance.

The skillful regent also has his own softness, which he only shows in front of the people he cares about.

"This experience... must be quite complicated and tortuous, right?"

She exerted a little force, as if she wanted to reduce the distance between herself and Chang Ming.

She could feel that he was very...scared, more scared than ever before, just like a child who was afraid of thunder and saw with his own eyes the state after thunder devoured his life.

For Chang Ming, who is fearless...what is there that is worth being afraid of and that can scare him?

The answer is self-evident.

The girl patted Chang Ming's back gently, as if he was coaxing her in the past.

"Okay, okay, I'm here, no need to be afraid of those things..."

"...I saw you disappear in front of me, without a trace, and I couldn't even hold back the last tear..."

Hearing Chang Ming's slightly trembling voice, Funina was stunned, and a little light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She knew that she was very important in Chang Ming's heart, and she also roughly guessed why Chang Ming had such an emotional outburst when they met.

But when she heard Chang Ming say this with her own ears, she couldn't help herself.

"I'm here... I'm not gone. Aren't I being kept by you?"

The girl's voice was slightly choked, as if she was sad for Chang Ming's experience, or perhaps she was moved by Chang Ming's words.

She gently reached out her hand and placed it on Chang Ming's cheek. This action, which had always been dominated by Chang Ming, was now handed over to Funina.

The pair of sea-blue eyes that originally contained tenderness and smiles were now filled with relief and fear. Finina could even see a hint of fear in them.

As she watched, the tears in Finina's beautiful eyes began to slip away, but the corners of her mouth, still raised, revealed her true feelings at the moment.

The feeling of being loved, the feeling of being loved openly... It's so good...

Thinking of this, Funina tiptoed gently and kissed him without hesitation.

——Just like what Chang Ming did when he held her little face in his hands before.

But this time, the entanglement between lips and teeth did not last that long, but separated after a symbolic five seconds.

"Are you feeling better now...?"

"Um..."

"Like you always tell me - I'm here, I've always been here."

Funina gently rubbed Chang Ming's cheek, as softly as ever, and then pulled him towards the sofa.

Now that they have settled down with each other, the next step is... to talk about what happened when they were apart.

......

For the next ten minutes, Chang Ming and Funina snuggled up to each other on the sofa, talking to each other about what they had seen in the past two days.

But...most of the time, Chang Ming was talking and Funina was listening.

After all, Funina has been staying at home for the past two days, and the only thing worth mentioning...maybe is Columbia's sudden visit.

When she heard everything Chang Ming had experienced in that illusion, the girl couldn't help but pursed her lips, and then gently held Chang Ming's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

She smiled softly, then tilted her head as if she suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise:

"Eh?! I remember you mentioned something about the "Reign of Death" when you were in Liyue before? Could it be that because of that sentence... He came to you?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"No, based on what He said... I seem to be His designated successor, and He may have been eyeing me for a long time."

"Although He did mention that matter during the trial, but... He didn't seem to care much about it?"

"Even though He gave me some power, I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

Chang Ming pursed his lips, his brows furrowed deeply at this moment, and the word "unhappy" was almost written on his face.

"Alright~ Although the trial process is a bit excessive, but... I'm right here, right? It's okay~"

Funina gently squeezed Chang Ming's hand, and then looked at Chang Ming's new appearance very carefully.

Compared to his past self, Chang Ming now only has a pair of wings that can be controlled to unfold, and a pair of cute black ear feathers. Apart from that, there are no other major changes.

But no matter how Chang Ming's appearance changes, he will always be the Chang Ming who loves her the most.

But then again...

After regaining the power of the fairy, the appearance will actually change?

When this question came into her mind, she immediately thought of the executive lady who had suddenly visited her.

After all, they are both fairies. Miss Columbia has a pair of small wings on the back of her head, while Chang Ming, who is also a fairy, does not.

Thinking of this, Funina nodded slightly, and then focused her eyes on the slowly swaying little wings at the back of Chang Ming's head.

"Um... Chang Ming, the pair of small wings behind your head... are actually the symbol of the fairy?"

"Well, that's understandable, but as far as I know, most fairies have white ear feathers and no wings, but mine are black, and I have a pair of wings that can fly..."

"Perhaps this is the additional influence of the power of the Archon of Death?"

Chang Ming spread his hands helplessly, as if he was not quite clear about this.

If we really want to find out where these wings come from...it's hard to say.

"So... can I touch it? It looks really cute, trembling~"

As Funina spoke, she stretched out her hand eagerly. In her eyes, Chang Ming's new ear feathers seemed to be inviting her to touch them.

Although as Chang Ming's lover, Funina had many opportunities to have physical contact with Chang Ming. According to common sense...she could have touched him directly, but she didn't.

It is precisely because of her love for Chang Ming that she would consider things like a sense of boundaries.

If this action would make him feel uncomfortable, if this behavior would make him feel a little uncomfortable, then of course she would not do it.

Relationships are not just about intimacy, but also about the comfort of maintaining each other.

Looking at the girl in front of him who looked a little expectant, Chang Ming chuckled and nodded. Before Funina could make any move, he leaned over to let her touch him.

If Columbia was here, she would have smiled with great satisfaction, because...

Only those who are most important to their lives are allowed to touch the ear feathers of fairies.
