Hearing the knock on the door, Su Yuan's heart kept pounding — thump—thump— — filled with nervous tension...
Was time really this tight?
He hadn't even figured out what to do yet, and "Furina" was already here?
Su Yuan thought to himself: There's no way I can open that door.
If he did, he was definitely done for…
Hearing the knock on the door, Su Yuan's heart kept pounding — thump—thump— — filled with nervous tension...
Was time really this tight?
He hadn't even figured out what to do yet, and "Furina" was already here?
Su Yuan thought to himself: There's no way I can open that door.
If he did, he was definitely done for…
He glanced toward the window inside the room.
It seemed like, just like back at the Palais Mermonia, his only option was to escape through the window again...
But the moment he opened the glass window, Su Yuan was stunned...
Right outside the window was a perfectly installed, solid set of security bars.
Su Yuan was at a complete loss for words.
Was the Liyue General Affairs Bureau always this concerned about the safety of guests staying at Yuehai Pavilion?
They had even installed such sturdy security bars — to prevent guests from accidentally falling or to stop thieves from entering through the window...
But General Affairs Bureau, have you ever considered—
what if there's a fire or some other emergency?
Wouldn't this security window just trap people inside and leave them to die?
Su Yuan knew very well in his heart that, in truth, this so-called security window meant nothing to someone like him who wielded Geo powers.
All he had to do was unleash an attack infused with Geo energy, and he could easily destroy it…
But the real problem now was—
If he forcibly broke the window, it would definitely make a loud noise.
If the "Furina" outside the door sensed something was wrong and burst in…
Then things would really go south.
Perhaps because Su Yuan had remained silent for too long, a voice came from outside the door:
"Darling, why aren't you opening the door for me?"
"Did you fall asleep? Or… are you hiding another woman in there?"
"I'm coming in…"
Hearing "Furina" say that, Su Yuan didn't have time to think anymore…
He immediately gathered Geo energy into his hands and smashed through the security bars—
Then leapt straight down toward the open ground below in a Leap of Faith!!!
Su Yuan had carefully judged the spot—his landing point should be a patch of shrubs and flower bushes downstairs.
He probably wouldn't die from the fall…
But just halfway through his descent, Su Yuan suddenly felt something wrap tightly around his waist and abdomen…
He was supposed to hit the ground in just a second, yet instead, he bounced in midair—
And was yanked right back up…
How could one describe this feeling? That's right…
It was exactly like bungee jumping!
Su Yuan was pulled all the way back up—straight into his guest room again…
Only then did he clearly see it:
It was a long tongue, stretching out from "Furina's" mouth, coiled tightly around him and dragging him back up…
"Furina" retracted her tongue into her mouth, then looked at Su Yuan and said:
"Darling, do you really not want to see me that badly?"
"Why didn't you even respond when I knocked on the door?"
"And the moment I came in, you tried to jump out the window…"
"Darling, all of this… really breaks my heart…"
Su Yuan thought to himself:
Even after triggering a death rewind once, was he still unable to avoid meeting "Furina"…?
And the timing of this rewind save point—
It was just too coincidental, too abstract…
It was as if some force was telling him:
No matter how many times you die and rewind, encountering "Furina" is simply inevitable…
If that's the case, then there's no running away.
He would have to face "Furina" head-on and find a way to survive her…
But the problem remained:
Liyue was so far from Fontaine.
How could he ensure that he wouldn't be tortured to death by her before even making it back to "Furina's" bed?
"Darling, say something…"
"Furina" looked at Su Yuan with a hint of grievance in her eyes:
"Darling, what are you trying to say?
Why won't you say a single word to me?
Has your heart… really been completely taken over by another woman?"
Su Yuan looked at "Furina," and there was one question he still couldn't figure out…
Why was Furina's eerie state rule somehow tied to him?
And why, after being transformed, did she insist on portraying herself as his lover?
But now clearly wasn't the time to dwell on that.
The most urgent priority was figuring out how to escape this crisis…
"Darling, whether you talk to me or not, we're still going home together…"
"Furina" spoke slowly:
"Let's go back just like before—playing games along the way!"
"I wonder… what kind of game would you like to play this time, darling?"
"If you still want to stay silent, then let's just play rock-paper-scissors like last time!"
Rock-paper-scissors???
Su Yuan's senses instantly sharpened at that keyword…
The palm of his left hand sent him a clear signal—
Do not play rock-paper-scissors with "Furina"…
And what exactly was going on with "Furina" right now?
Su Yuan had clearly already triggered a death rewind—
So why did it seem like she still remembered the game they played last time?
Right now, Su Yuan couldn't afford to stay silent any longer.
He absolutely couldn't let "Furina" play that rock-paper-scissors game with him again…
"Fufu, let's… not play rock-paper-scissors this time, okay…"
Su Yuan looked at "Furina" and slowly spoke.
"Darling, you finally opened your mouth and spoke…"
"Furina" smiled gently, clearly in a much better mood:
"Even though you didn't call me 'darling,' calling me 'Fufu' isn't bad either—
I'll let it slide…"
"So, darling, go on—
tell me, what game do you want us to play on the way home?"
Su Yuan's brain immediately kicked into overdrive, rapidly recalling the childhood games he used to play:
Hide and seek, balloon breathing game, jump rope, hopscotch, mud pee, pretend cooking, cat-and-mouse, eagle catches chick, cops and robbers, real-or-fake landmine, house-playing…
Wait a second—
Su Yuan suddenly felt like he'd thought of something…
Go home? Play house?
Su Yuan suddenly made the connection.
His goal…
Was to return to Furina's bed before she did.
And her bed—was inside her home…
A bold plan quickly took shape in Su Yuan's mind.
So, he stepped in front of "Furina," suppressing the tension and fear inside,
looked into her eyes with deliberate affection, and said with deep emotion:
"My dearest Fufu… wherever you are, that's home to me…"
"Even though this room doesn't belong to us—it's property of Liyue's General Affairs Bureau—
But as long as you're here, this place is our sweet little home."
After saying that, Su Yuan turned around in one smooth motion—
leapt back onto the bed, and slipped straight under the covers…
