Chapter 922 Let's go out and play!
Sue put down the newspaper filled with gossip. "Go out and have some fun, Funina! The weather's so nice today, it's such a waste to stay in the room!"
Funina wailed, covering her face with a cushion. "How could we possibly go out?! We'd definitely be surrounded and everyone'd be asking us about our 'secret romance'!"
The fact that she was able to bravely face Su without blushing today already took a tremendous amount of courage and perseverance!
Going out with Su now will definitely be seen as a date! Then a bunch of people will keep asking me questions! Ugh!
With his left hand he persuaded people with reason, and with his right hand he wielded the "sword of a knight who destroys nations," declaring, "I refuse to believe that anyone would dare to bother us like this."
"I just don't want you to get into conflict with everyone!" Furina still hesitated. "Besides, even if they don't bother us, they'll still look at us like that..."
Sue put away her truths. "What kind of look is that? Why bother with people who are unimportant?"
"It's...it's the way you look at a couple," Funina said shyly, peeking out from above the cushion. "We're not...that kind of relationship..."
“Since it’s not them, then we don’t need to worry about it.” Su thought for a moment and said, “If you hate their looks, I’ll just pick a few and punch them a couple of times.”
For no apparent reason, this Fontainebleau woman is really asking for trouble. Let's just let her help tighten the strings. Besides, a couple of punches is quite gentle, isn't it?
Seeing that Sue didn't understand her feelings at all, Funina was both ashamed and anxious and couldn't say a word.
Paimon, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, sighed and patted Frynn on the shoulder in a comforting manner.
"I'm sorry, my child is used to being careless and can't understand these kinds of delicate troubles."
"Don't talk bad about me, not even to my face!" Su complained softly to Paimon, then shook Funina's hand.
"Oh, come out with me! Let's soak up the sun, go shopping, and maybe even buy some things for your new home. Wouldn't that be great?"
Paimon also advised, "Yes, Furina should come out and play with us. Staying at home won't dispel the rumors, and it might even encourage the reporters in Fontaine to let their imaginations run wild."
After hesitating for a while, Funina had to admit that Paimon made a lot of sense. "Then, let's sneak out."
There was no encirclement of reporters at the entrance today because yesterday the Mo Mang Palace sent guards to disperse and warn people.
She really didn't want to be surrounded by reporters again, and then Sue would get angry and take action, exacerbating the conflict and friction between her and the Fontainebleau people.
She still hoped that both sides could get along amicably, and also hoped that Sue wouldn't dislike everyone in Fontainebleau.
Su: "What's the big deal about sneaking out? We're not going to be thieves."
Paimon: "And right now, in this apartment building, even an ant going out would get a lot of attention."
Sneaking out is out of the question, but Sue can take Funina away quickly.
"Clang clang clang~" Su took out the "Little Cotton Beast" that True Lord Liuyun had given him as a gift.
Funina looked curiously at the cream-yellow mechanical contraption. "What is this?"
"It's a two-wheeled electric chariot that the True Lord gave me, and Paimon named it Little Cotton Beast." Sue gave a thumbs up. "It's powerful, can travel a thousand miles a day, and is safe, comfortable, and convenient!"
They rode this when they traveled from Liyue to Mondstadt with Zhenjun, but after arriving in Fontainebleau, they were so busy that they almost forgot about their super cute and convenient mode of transportation.
"Hmph," Su said smugly, "If any fools dare to surround or block my way, I'll do this! I'll twist the accelerator and let them hear the roar of the little cotton beast."
Little Cotton Beast: Boom! Boom boom boom!
Funina chuckled dryly, "That sounds like it could send someone flying a hundred meters..."
However, it's good that rational people wouldn't dare to come over after hearing this warning.
The three went downstairs and were surprised to find that there was no human wall downstairs, but the windows of the buildings on both sides of the street were full of people.
Paimon was speechless yet pleased. "They've all chosen to observe from afar. It seems the Fontaines have gained a deeper understanding of and a greater fear of Su."
That's good too; at least the troubles they were worried about won't happen.
Funina, who was used to being stared at by many eyes, froze for a second because of this strange scene. After Paimon got into the sidecar of the little cotton beast, she also got into the back seat of the little cotton beast.
"All set?" Su Yi twisted the accelerator. "Let's go!"
In the gentle breeze, Funina saw the girl's fin-like shoulder veil fluttering before her eyes. She had just smiled when she suddenly heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers!
Windows of buildings on both sides of the street were pushed open one after another with a "bang, bang, bang," and countless Fontainebleau residents waved their hands, scattering flowers and ribbons, and some even started playing musical instruments and singing!
Violin, French horn, flute, tambourine, hand drum... The Fontainebleau residents, who love opera and are skilled in musical instruments, immediately formed a temporary band and performed a march in perfect harmony!
"Congratulations in advance, Lady Funina!"
Wishing you a brighter future!
"May you be happy, Ms. Funina!"
"No matter what, I will always support all your decisions! Lady Furina, you are the best!!! I love you! Ah ————————————!"
"Oh no, she's fainted! Quick, quick, scatter! Where's the sniffing salt?"
Paimon caught the falling flowers and ribbons. "Furina is truly beloved by the people of Fontainebleau. Everyone is celebrating your retirement."
Funina froze, "Ah...yes, yes..."
Su listened to the background music. "What's the name of this piece? It's quite nice."
Furina froze even more. "It's the prelude to Act V of the opera 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'."
After saying that, Funina hugged Su tightly, buried her face in Su's back, and whispered, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
Su: "Huh? I haven't finished listening yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Funina didn't dare lift her burning red face, and made up an excuse to urge her, "Your hair is hitting me, hurry up!"
"Hair hitting people? You should have said so earlier." Su Geng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stopped the little cotton beast, used its legs to support it, and reached out to gather its loose long hair, casually tying it up.
"Alright~ Let's officially begin our happy first day of retirement shopping!"
The little cotton beast vanished into the distance amidst flowers, ribbons, and the blessings of the people of Fontainebleau.
Our first stop on the shopping trip was Senori-ya, the most popular shopping street in the fashion capital of Fontaine.
Sue: "Furina gave me such a beautiful dress, so I want to buy you some clothes to wear every day too."
She remembered the small leather suitcase that Funina had prepared when she planned to leave Momang Palace; it contained only a few everyday clothes.
Su pulled her friends inside, asking, "Is Chiori here?"
Watching the waitress, who was trying to contain her excitement, stammer as she told the distinguished guests:
"Ms. Chiori has been busy lately and hasn't been to the store much. Perhaps you could tell me your needs and I'll make some recommendations. If you'd like custom-made clothing from Ms. Chiori, we can also provide in-home service!"
Funina smiled warmly and reassured them, "Thank you for your kindness, but we'll just look around on our own for now."
The three of them strolled around the Senori-ya shop, but Sue didn't find anything she liked. In the end, Funina picked out some nice-quality loungewear herself.
Su didn't consider market distribution at all. "If you want more beautiful and unique clothes, you really have to wait for Qianzhi to design them."
Funina: "I'll just wear ordinary clothes. I'm just an ordinary citizen now."
“Wrong, wrong, wrong,” Sue said, shaking her finger. “Even if we’re no longer king, we should still enjoy life. It’s not like we don’t have the means.”
“Exactly,” Paimon added, “Besides, you’ve only stepped down, you haven’t become an ordinary citizen!”
Furnessa's name has not been changed at all; she is still Furnessa de Fontaine!
Anyone familiar with Fontainebleau will understand what this name means.
Even if she were no longer the queen, Furynna would still be more noble than any of the nobles in Fontaine!
