Chapter 602 Clorinde's Illusion
Not long after, Aroué came over with a cup of steaming milk and placed it in front of Clorinde.
With a professional and polite smile on his face, he said softly, "Please enjoy your meal."
Clorinde nodded in thanks and responded, "Thank you."
Then she reached out, grasped the cup, and took a sip of the milk.
At this moment, Shao Yun, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke up and reminded him, "Pay attention to your diet during your recovery. Don't touch coffee or other stimulating drinks and foods. I forgot to tell you this when I went to your house last time."
Hearing this, Clorinde was stunned at first, then slowly put the cup in her hand back on the table and expressed her gratitude to Shao Yun again.
"Thank you. You seem to be very experienced in dealing with gunshot wounds."
Shao Yun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and asked back: "From what you said, have you never been shot?"
Clorinde blinked, then raised her left hand, facing Shao Yun with her palm, and explained, "I don't have a gunshot wound, but I did have my palm cut by a knife when I was a child."
Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself: "No wonder..."
At this time, Clorinde put down her left hand. Her face turned slightly pale due to nervousness. She stared at Shao Yun with her beautiful eyes and asked, "By the way, may I ask..."
Shao Yun calmly looked at Clorinde's hesitant look as she seemed to want to say something, and he already knew what she wanted to say next.
He just sighed softly, then took over the conversation and said, "Let's talk about the matter of letting me be your teacher..."
Hearing this, Clorinde couldn't help feeling embarrassed. She lowered her head subconsciously and admitted, "Yes... that's it."
Seeing this, Shao Yun showed helplessness on his face and advised: "Claulinde, I am really not suitable to be your teacher. I sincerely suggest that you give up this idea."
However, Clorinde did not give up because of Shao Yun's words.
She stared into Shao Yun's eyes and said firmly and persistently: "I will not give up! If it doesn't work today, I will continue tomorrow. I believe that one day, you will agree."
Faced with Clorinde's firm attitude, Shao Yun was speechless for a moment.
He could only helplessly reach out his hand, touch his forehead, sigh and say: "Hey... why are you doing this?"
……
On the other side, Funina, who had just finished signing autographs for everyone, jumped down from the box. Seeing that everyone left contentedly, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Wow, everyone's reaction today is really great! So what earth-shattering thing should I do next?"
Finina's temporary guard "Eula" breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the crowd around her gradually disperse.
She raised her hand to wipe away the beads of sweat on her forehead and said with lingering fear: "Oh, that's great. Fortunately, no one showed up to attack Miss Funina..."
On the other side, Finina also let out a long sigh, then walked briskly behind Eula.
She raised her hand, gently patted Eula's broad back, and said with a smile: "Haha, you have been busy all morning today, Miss Eula. As a reward for your hard work, this water god has decided to give you the gift of water!"
After hearing what Finina said, Eula was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly started thinking.
In my mind, I translated what Furninna had just said according to Fischl's guide to getting along with others.
"Well... according to Fischl's Guide to Getting Along, Miss Funina means that she wants to buy me a drink."
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Eula's face.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Miss Funina! I am a little thirsty as well."
Funina looked around, and soon her eyes were fixed on a coffee shop called Luze, which was not far from them.
"Let me take a look! Hey! What do you think of the Luze Cafe over there? The drinks and snacks here are great!"
For Eula, who doesn't have too many special requirements for what kind of drinks to drink, it's good to have something to drink. In the past, when no one sold their own products, she went to the Fruit Wine Lake to fetch water and boiled water for herself.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions. I don't have any problems. Anything is fine."
Seeing this, Funina immediately grabbed Eula's hand and ran towards Luze Coffee Shop.
"Then hurry up and go!"
……
After ordering, Funina turned her eyes away from the menu, and then she noticed Clorinde and Shao Yun sitting together not far away.
Finina openly pulled Eula beside her and walked quickly towards where Shao Yun and Clorinde were sitting.
When she came to the table, Funina greeted everyone warmly.
"Oh! It's Clorinde and Shao Yun! How come you are here too? What a coincidence!"
As she spoke, she gently patted Eula's shoulder and introduced her.
"Come here, Eula, let me introduce you. This lady is your senior, Clorinde. She is very capable. You should ask her for advice when you have the chance in the future!"
After introducing Clorinde, Funina turned her attention to Shao Yun.
However, what she said next was somewhat laughable.
Finina introduced him to Eula in a playful and slightly proud tone: "As for this guy, his name is Shao Yun. Originally, he had the chance to become my bodyguard, but unfortunately..."
Speaking of this, Funina deliberately put on a look of regret, shaking her head and sighing, "Alas, under the glory of my water god, he felt ashamed of himself and felt that he could not protect me."
"However, he is quite self-aware in retreating when faced with difficulties!"
Shao Yun couldn't help but frown when he heard Fu Ningna teasing him like that.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and joked based on the principle of not getting angry with fools.
"Your inner self-regulation ability is really strong. You are just the God of Water, not the God of Fire. Why are you acting so arrogant all day long?"
Eula nodded slightly to Shao Yun as a greeting, and her eyes fell on Clorinde.
She bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Senior Clorinde."
Hearing Eula calling her "senior", Clorinde couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Then, she quickly waved her hand and responded, "No need to add the word 'senior', just call me by my name."
Seeing this, Eula quickly nodded and agreed, and replied very politely: "Okay, Miss Clorinde."
At this moment, Furninna suddenly focused her attention entirely on Clorinde's right shoulder.
She took a step forward, approached Clorinde, and asked softly, "By the way, Clorinde, how is your injury now?"
Clorinde looked up at Funina and answered, "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Funina. The wound is recovering well now."
"But the doctor said that if I want to fully recover, I have to rest for a while, and I also need to do some systematic rehabilitation training afterwards."
After hearing what Clorinde said, Furninna finally felt relieved. I'm glad you're okay!
She breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and gently consoled him, "That's good. You must take good care of yourself! I have already asked someone to continue to deliver medicine to you."
"If you have any other needs, just tell me. Don't be shy. I will definitely be responsible for you to the end!"
At this moment, Arue behind the counter pressed the meal bell.
He reminded with a smile: "Respected Lord Water God, the two cups of coffee and the 'Water God' cake for one person that you ordered are ready! Please find a seat and I will bring it to you or..."
Before she finished speaking, Funina, who had been feeling sorry for Clorinde, heard that the cake and coffee she had been craving for were ready.
The next second, she ran towards the counter like a wild horse, shouting excitedly.
"Ooooh! My little cake, here I come!"
Eula, who was standing by, was shocked when she saw Furninna suddenly take off.
Seeing Furninna rushing towards the counter desperately, she hurriedly took a step and chased after her.
"Ms. Furninna, please slow down! Be careful not to bump into the table!"
Shao Yun looked at Funina, who was holding a cake and cheering in the distance, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and muttered softly.
"Has being locked up in Momang Palace these past few days driven her crazy? She's having so much fun..."
Clorinde heard Shao Yun's whispered comments about Funina. After thinking for a moment, she explained solemnly and seriously.
"In fact, there is another important reason."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun turned around and looked at Clorinde in surprise.
"What did you say?"
Clorinde swallowed her saliva and explained to Shao Yun with a serious face: "The guy named Dutch van der Linde told Funina that she took the suffering of the people as her own fun, so she wanted to use practical actions to prove that she cared about the people of Fontaine."
Shao Yun was completely confused and had no idea why Clorinde explained everything to him in such detail.
"What on earth does that mean?"
Clorinde pursed her lips, and then explained in detail to Shao Yun.
What I mean is, Ms. Funina, although her personality is indeed a bit eccentric and eccentric, and she often does things unexpectedly, no matter what, since she took office for five hundred years, Fontaine has really undergone many positive changes!"
"As I told you before, the Grey River Purge and the Siege of White Frost; Fontaine has been changed since Lady Funina came to power and Mr. Villette became the Supreme Judge."
Shao Yun still failed to understand Clorinde's intention. He really couldn't understand why she suddenly told him all this nonsense, so he complained: "Claurinde's little history class; why are you telling me this?"
Clorinde didn't know why she told Shao Yun all this. After a long pause, she finally explained.
"Well... the reason I'm telling you this is because I noticed that you seem to have some... well, rather strange views on Ms. Funina."
Shao Yun understood the meaning of Clorinde's words. She was defending Funina.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I was just joking around, there's no special meaning to it."
However, despite Shao Yun's explanation, the expression on Clorinde's face did not relax.
She bit her lip, but mustered up the courage to continue, "But from what I just observed, your attitude towards Ms. Funina gives people a feeling of..."
"How should I put it? I just feel a bit harsh. Is it because of what happened in Hailu Port?"
When Shao Yun heard Clorinde use the word "mean" to describe himself, he was stunned at first and his facial muscles tensed up.
But in just a moment, Shao Yun returned to normal and explained again: "Because I am a cold person and like to make mean jokes."
After listening to Shao Yun's self-description, Clorinde looked him up and down suspiciously.
After a long while, she shook her head and asked, "Really? But judging from your appearance, you don't look like that at all."
Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled bitterly in his heart.
If Clorinde had met me in Xumi, she would definitely not have had such doubts.
The effect of her honor value in the Fontaine region being 0 made Clorinde have this thought about herself.
After all, the number 0 is larger than a negative number!
