Chapter 162: Fernina's Self-deprecation
Pinching Funina's cheek lovingly, Gu Chen said to her with a smile:
"Okay, Fufu, don't think so much.
In case something goes wrong with the predetermined fate, I cannot tell you the inside story or the reason.
You, stop wasting time on your own internal affairs. It's okay to put these things aside."
After having her cheeks pinched, Funina stared at Gu Chen speechlessly:
"So, my guess is correct? Is the key to the prophecy really the original sin of the Fontaine people?"
Gu Chen covered his forehead, speechless:
"Fufu, please don't be smart at critical moments, okay?"
With her hands on her hips, Funina's expression was a little dissatisfied, even a little bit shrewd:
"What do you mean?
Do you think I am stupid in my daily life? "
"Uh...I can't say."
Furninna was so anxious that she jumped up and down:
"Okay, it seems you think I'm stupid! How am I stupid?
If I were really stupid, how could I have performed this for hundreds of years? Explain it to me clearly!
Gu Chen was helpless and could only smile bitterly and comfort:
“I was wrong! I was wrong!
My Fufu is not stupid at all! My Fufu is the smartest person in the world! She is smarter than the God of Wisdom of Mount Xumi! "
After being complimented by Gu Chen, Fu Nina was slightly satisfied. She put her hands on her hips and said proudly:
"That's right, I am the smartest person in the world!"
Looking at the self-satisfied Funina, Gu Chen almost burst out laughing.
By the way, there is no such word as "very smart" in this world, so Funina doesn't know what it means.
She naively thought that being smart was just a compliment to her intelligence, but she didn't know...
Thinking of this, Gu Chen was a little glad that Paimon was not here.
Because Gu Chen once taught Paimeng the word "great intelligence".
Others don’t know what great intelligence means, but Paimon knows.
If Paimon doesn't give her face and expose the truth, Finina will make a fuss.
But then again.
Looking at how cute Furninna was when she was throwing a tantrum but was so easy to deal with, Gu Chen felt even more gentle in his heart.
He knew that Furniture was only willing to show her temper in front of the people closest to her.
In other words, he had become the person closest to her.
very nice.
At this moment, Funina, who was feeling proud, also noticed Gu Chen's doting look.
Facing such a look, she felt a little embarrassed and a little self-blaming:
“That…Gu Chen.
Sometimes I wonder if you've protected me too well."
Eyes slightly opened, Gu Chen was a little confused:
"What do you mean?"
Looking directly into Gu Chen's eyes, Funina said sincerely:
"I don't want to be protected by you forever. I want to do something. I also want to contribute to resolving the prophecy crisis.
Instead of just sitting here dryly playing the role of the Water God and acting as a useless mascot."
When Gu Chen heard the word "mascot", he was a little angry.
He frowned, and his aura was a bit scary:
"What mascot? Who dares to say that you, Fu Fu, are a useless mascot? I'll tear him apart right now!"
Furninna pointed at herself with an innocent expression:
"That's what I think."
Gu Chen's anger just now deflated like a deflated ball.
His tone was a bit earnest:
"Fufu, why are you so self-deprecating?"
Furninna shook her head:
“I’m not being self-deprecating.
I really feel that I have been performing on the throne for hundreds of years, but it seems to have no effect at all."
Gu Chen was anxious and grabbed Funina's shoulders a little forcefully:
"You are just being self-deprecating!
I can tell you directly that your hundreds of years of performance on the throne of God were definitely not in vain!
I can also tell you that in the predetermined destiny, in resolving the crisis predicted by Fontaine, your role was decisive! You have made the greatest contribution!
Without your suffering over these hundreds of years, Fontaine could never have been saved!"
Gu Chen grabbed her shoulders, which hurt a little. Funina felt a little helpless:
"really?
But... I don't feel it.
I really feel that I have done nothing in the past few hundred years, and I feel ashamed of the people of Fontaine and ashamed of myself in the mirror."
This kind of inferiority and pity is really infuriating.
Gu Chen suppressed his anger as much as possible and continued to persuade him earnestly:
"That's absolutely not the case! You haven't wronged anyone!
On the contrary, it should be the people of Fontaine and you in the mirror who should be sorry!
Your role is unimaginable, your contribution is so great... so great that you don't even realize it now!"
Looking at Gu Chen's extremely serious eyes, Funina was a little unsure:
"Really?"
"real!"
Gu Chen was extremely determined.
As if to increase the persuasiveness, Gu Chen added:
"Perhaps you don't realize the huge impact you have, but...
Not to mention the distant past, just look at your performance as the Water God over the past few hundred years. This has had a huge impact!
Not every country is like Liyue, and not every country can accept not having the protection of gods.
In people's minds, having gods and not having gods are two different things.
At least in the perception of the people of Fontaine, there have always been gods in their country, and this alone is enough to make people feel at peace!
To put it bluntly, one of the great effects of your performance over the past few hundred years, Fu Fu, is that it has calmed people's hearts for hundreds of years!"
Funina's expression was a little dazed, and her tone was incredulous:
"I... have calmed people's hearts for hundreds of years?"
Gu Chen nodded.
"My interpretation... is effective?"
Gu Chen nodded again.
"I'm not completely useless?"
Gu Chen nodded vigorously.
Finally, after Gu Chen's almost deceptive explanation, Funina felt relieved. She knew that she was not useless and that she was still very useful.
After figuring this out, her mood suddenly brightened.
Noticing that Funina's mood had improved, Gu Chen felt greatly relieved.
Phew... Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, Funina did not doubt herself.
Alas...it's not easy.
Furninna had been suffering for hundreds of years, and finally she had someone to confide in and someone closest to her.
Before this, Funina's mental state had already collapsed, but she had to maintain a state of not collapsing even if it meant collapsing.
Later, with her confidant, Funina's collapsed mental state was finally carefully pieced together.
Although the psychological state is complete, it is still very fragile.
If she is not careful, or if Funina herself gets carried away, her mental state may collapse again!
Why did Gu Chen go to Funina's dream every now and then to meet her secretly?
In addition to missing her, I also have to take extra care of Funina's mental state.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe Funina as a patient with a serious mental illness and Gu Chen as a psychiatrist!
Now it seems that the careful care is really worth it!
