Chapter 2: Furina and the cake
Crack!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the glass breaking, a small crack appeared in the sculpture, and then extended as cobwebs.
As a butterfly emerging from his cocoon, a foot of immaculate white jade took his first step forward, followed by thin and round thighs, a flat belly, elegant arms and delicate clavicles.
Until, finally, a beautiful silver and curly hair girl appeared, with blue eyes like the ocean.
An ethereal vision, as if a fairy of the sky had descended to the earth.
The goddess of water, Furina, had woken up!
"It's tomorrow?" I slept so well!
"Hey, Liyue, what are you doing here?"
Furina stretched like a cat, yawning while rubbing her eyes. But seeing clearly the young man in front, he gave a little jump, startled.
Liyue looked at her stunned, unable to pronounce a word.
Several seconds passed before an eyebrow was curved and released, with a slight smile:
"Fufu, I'm glad to see you." But before we start talking ... could you wear some clothes?
You could make me commit a crime unintentionally.
Furina froze. His eyes opened par. The air became cold.
His face blushed violently to his ears.
However, the years of acting on stage had been tanned: he did not shout or lose his composure.
"Give yourself the return, fast!" Clothing, clothes ... Where are there clothes?!
There were no female clothes in the room. Desperate, Furina could only improvise: she took a Liyue shirt and tied her at her waist as a skirt, covering the essential.
After a few moments of silent chaos, the door opened with a squeak.
The Furina head appeared, her messy hair and her still red cheeks.
He looked at him with a mixture of shame and anger.
-Traveler! What happened? Didn't we go to another world together? How did everything end like this?
I wanted to explain how he had ended up naked ... but he gave him a tremendous shame.
Since Furina degenerated into an elf of pure water, she fell into a deep sleep and lost all perception of the outside world.
Liyue had been on the Douluo continent, but for Furina, it had only been an especially comfortable dream.
"I just listen to me," Liyue said gently. I will tell you everything calmly.
Both sat on the stone bank under the willow in the patio.
The wind was warm, and Liyue began to tell him, little by little, all the details of those years.
"Do you mean that twenty years went by!?"
Furina opened her mouth in amazement. His eyes blinked disbelief.
"Viento years in Douluo," Liyue defended. The flow of time here is different from that of Teyvat. Maybe there have only been twenty days.
Furina looked at him stunned, then lowered her head and murmured:
-Thank you...
Liyue looked at her, bewildered.
"Why do you thank me?"
Furina's voice had a contained emotion:
"You have twenty years trying to wake me up ... she must have been very exhausting ...
Liyue scratched his head awkward.
"It was what I should do." If it weren't because of my mistake, you wouldn't have fallen asleep.
"No," Furina said firmly. I was the one who asked to go to the other world. It was my choice ... but still, thanks.
Although for her only a few days had passed, the memories of before the trip were still fresh.
It was Liyue who proposed to travel together. And she accepted without hesitation.
In Teyvat, interdimensional trips were not so unusual. The creatures of the place were already accustomed.
Liyue, with a smile full of love, took a step forward and hugged her.
"It doesn't matter how much time has passed." While seeing you again, everything is worth it.
He stroked with tenderness the soft back of Furina.
She shuddered. His heart was beating hard.
His cheeks became a bright red.
They did not say anything else.
The entire world stopped at that moment.
Some time later, Liyue released her.
Furina looked at him with a flirtatious expression, the red face like an apple.
"Chico bad!" Leave me or you will do something improper!
He pretended to bother, moving away with a pout.
Liyue knew his character well. He decided to change the subject.
"Are you hungry?" Do you want to try cakes from another world?
Furina, hearing the word "cake", illuminated as a lamp.
"I want, I want to eat!"
Liyue stirred his hair with affection.
"Come on, I invite."
Before leaving, he went through the university's clothing store and bought female garments for her. He couldn't let him dressed in his male clothes.
Wuhun City.
Headquarters of the spiritual hall.
Powerful, feared and admired. Although extensive, it was not bustling.
It was built for the teachers of the soul, not for civilians. Therefore, its streets were spacious but quiet. The only ones who traveled were luxurious carriages and powerful figures.
However, the stores were first level. High quality products for customers with demanding tastes.
Liyue and Furina walked hand in the streets.
She looked at everything with bright, curious eyes, amazed by architecture, details, the different forms to those of Teyvat.
"Look there, it's a bakery!" He shouted excitedly, pointing to a refined place.
Liyue swallowed to see the store.
The most expensive of the city!
A single cake there could be left in bankruptcy ...
But seeing Furina's bright eyes, he made a decision without hesitation:
Let's eat cake!
He had saved something in these years. And now that Furina was back, they would soon find ways to earn money. It would no longer depend on the alms of Hu Liena.
"Sold furina, load towards the target!"
"Shit for the cake!"
Laughing, they entered the bakery.
It was a two -story building with rustic decoration.
They asked at the bar.
Although Furina seemed carefree, she was ready.
He noticed that when he pointed out some expensive cakes, Liyue made a grimace.
"It's short of money," he thought. And still brought me here? What a stubborn and how sweet ...
Understanding his intentions, he lowered his head smiling, and discreetly requested more economical options.
They sat down. Soon, a maid brought them the cakes and drinks.
Everything was delicious.
Furina ate happy. Liyue looked at her smiling, and offered her cake.
She accepted it with a guilty, but happy look.
"For our successful journey!"
Both raised their glasses and gave.
And just when they played their glasses, the second floor door opened.
Heels echoed on wood, descending firmly.
A family silhouette appeared.
Orange hair. Sharp eyes. An overflowing presence.
Hu liena.
He went down with an elegant step and his gaze crossed with Liyue's.
He stopped.
"Liyue ... What are you doing here?"
His expression became bleak when he saw Furina sitting next to him, laughing happy.
Who is this woman?
And why do you dinner with her?
