Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 981 Suffering and Happiness

"How have you been lately?"

"Not bad, Kavi... How about you?"

"Don't worry, I've always been fine."

"That's good……"

"..."

"..."

Passersby kept casting their gazes at the three people on Fontaine Street.

Despite being a family with exceptionally high looks, the atmosphere was subtly awkward.

The people of Fontainebleau, who have always loved beauty and gossip, couldn't resist their curiosity and imagination.

"Ka~~~Vi~~~~"

As the girl's voice drew closer, Kavi's eyes widened.

"Su?!"

Amidst the fluttering pages, a girl in a formal dress, like a butterfly flitting through falling petals, leaps into the arms of a blond youth. He then holds her and spins her around in mid-air, her skirt billowing in the wind.

A passing young reporter snapped a photo, and the developed images were so beautiful they looked like illustrations from a romantic novel.

This flying pounce, hug, and spinning motion is something that only the person experiencing it can truly feel beyond romance.

Kavi exhaled softly. Fortunately, he had managed to assume a horse stance in time to absorb the impact and immediately spun around to dissipate the force after catching Su!

This prevented a horrific tragedy from unfolding on a foreign street.

Thank goodness, thank goodness he wields a greatsword and has some strength.

"Kavi, Kavi, Kavi!" Sue pressed her face against Kavi's neck, calling his name repeatedly, "I missed you so much!"

After the girl in Kavi's arms had snuggled up to her, he stopped and tightened his arms around her. "I...I missed you too."

Farana looked at her seemingly cheerful and outgoing son, who was actually delicate and sensitive, with undisguised surprise as he openly expressed his longing.

"Kavi, who is this young lady...?"

Before Kavi could answer, the man next to Farana burst out laughing, "Hahaha, this is the famous Miss Su, a close friend of Ms. Funina! You really don't keep up with the news, and you rarely leave your study lately. This won't do."

Su then realized that there were other people with Kavi.

She wasn't interested in the talkative older man, but stared at the blonde woman who looked a lot like Kavi, but with a more melancholic air.

Su: "Sister Farana?"

Farana was stunned. "Miss, you know me?"

“Yes, we know each other!” Su nodded. “The old lady said that Kavi looks a lot like you, and you really do! Hahaha, thank you for giving birth to such a beautiful Kavi!”

"Pretty Kavi" was completely dumbfounded. "Su... what are you saying? Besides, you should call me Mother Auntie."

Sue: "Let's each talk our own thing, what's the problem? Or is it that you want me to call you 'brother', Kavi...?"

"Ah, I don't want to, I don't want to!" Kavi quickly stopped him and compromised, "Let's leave it at that, let's leave it at that."

He simply couldn't bear to hear Su call him "brother." When Su said that, he always felt a strange sense of romance.

I can't bear it, I dare not listen!

Farana: "The old lady who knows Kavi and me... could it be Teacher Sahati? How is she doing?"

"You're in great shape, and you even have a powerful voice when you're cursing!" Sue chatted with Farana while hanging on Kavi's back. "That time Kavi and I met her together..."

Kavi watched as his mother listened intently to the story of the retired old woman angrily scolding the tomato thief, a curious and relaxed smile on her face.

Su pinched Kavi's cheek to bring him back to his senses. "I was the one doing all the talking, Kavi, why didn't you say anything?"

Kavi: ...

Kavi was unsure what to say, worried that if he opened his mouth, the atmosphere would return to its previous awkwardness.

Sue recalled Kavi saying that his mother was very sensitive and couldn't express many things directly. Now that she thought about it, Kavi himself was just like that!

Su slid off Kavi's back and hid behind him, clearing his throat. "I am Kavi's voice."

Kavi: ?

Kavi: "Su? What are you doing?"

Su reached out and turned Kavi's head back so that he was facing Farana.

Su: "I miss you so much."

Kavi: "…………"

Farana looked at her son's flushed face and his eyes, which were trying not to look away.

Sue: "I'm very worried about you."

Kavi: "...I...I'm..."

Kavi tried to open his mouth, trying to express himself like the girl behind him.

Sue: "I'm so glad you're happy."

These were things that Kavi had said himself but had not been able to tell Farana; she was merely responsible for relaying them.

Kavi took a deep breath and spoke his thoughts, past and present. “I’m so glad you’ve found happiness, so glad you’ve picked up your paintbrush again. I visited your latest design, lush, elegant, full of the vitality of nature. I’ve always been so proud of you, Mother.”

Farana's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The man beside her knew something was wrong and wanted to hug her to comfort her.

Farana shoved aside the man blocking her way and hugged her son, who had stumbled forward after being pushed, "Kavi, my baby..."

Hearing the name he used to have when he was six years old, Kavi's eyes welled up with tears, and he felt extremely embarrassed. "I'm all grown up now..."

Farana: "No matter how big it is, it's still my baby."

Seeing this, the man who had been pushed to the side of the road by his wife showed a resentful expression.

He was genuinely worried when he learned that his wife's son from her previous marriage was coming to visit her!

He worried that his wife would choose to return to Xumi because she was worried about her son. So when his wife and son visited Fontainebleau, he shamelessly followed along, begging to be treated to a meal.

But now...sigh. No matter how much you guard against it, a knight is hard to guard against.

Su: "Nothing to do? Go pick up all the task sheets for me."

"Uh? Me? Okay, okay!"

After the mother and son finished chatting, Su automatically clung back to Kavi's back. "Kavi, when did you come to Fontainebleau?"

Kavi: "I just arrived today. I haven't had a chance to ask about your traveler's team yet."

After learning about the devastating flood in Fontaine, he was extremely worried about his mother, who had moved there, and the traveler's team.

Although he knew that Su and Kong were highly capable and that Paimon could fly, he was still very worried about their safety.

However, after the disaster, Fengdanfang suspended the passage, prohibiting both entry and exit.

It took him a considerable amount of time, with the help of his friends, to become one of the first people to pass through customs and enter Fontainebleau, citing his title as the Great Architect of Mount Sumeru and his direct blood relative's application in Fontainebleau.

Sue: "Is Fontainebleau under lockdown? I didn't even know. Oh—"

Su realized that sealing off Fontaine was probably Vilette's order.

Although the Fontaines have become truly human under Navelette's pardon, there must be quite a few doomed creatures who want to study the mysteries of the Pure Water People.

Yelan probably isn't here for tourism, but rather as a representative of the Liyue Seven Stars to communicate with the official authorities.

However, the lockdown has already begun to be lifted, which means that the situation has been brought under control by Navilette and there are no problems.

Never mind, state affairs are all on Navelette's mind now, she and Funina should just enjoy playing in the shadows.

"Oh, right! Funina and I are filming a movie! We need a really great architect to design the backdrop. Kavi and Farana, are you both coming?"

Su pulled out a recruitment task sheet and handed it to Farana.

Kavi hesitated. Helping Sue was fine with him, but his mother…

After reading the task sheet, Farana put it away and reached out to the girl on her son's back. "I accept this task. I hope we can work together smoothly."

"Great! It's a pleasure to work with you!" Su grabbed the beautiful woman's fragrant hand and shook it vigorously.

Noticing Kavi's doubt, Farana smiled slightly, "Which architect hasn't had some designs that couldn't be realized due to limitations in materials and cost? Even if they can't be put into practice, it's still an interesting thing to be able to realize one's design in a film."

Moreover, she also wanted to work with Kavi for a while.

The man, who appeared to be a refined and handsome middle-aged man, was now in tears. "Madam... Waaah, Madam..." Wife, will you still come home, wife? Wife, do you still want me, wife?

"..." Farana covered her forehead. "You go home first. I'll go check out my next workplace and colleagues and then head back."

Kavi watched the man leave, turning back every few steps. "Uncle... he's such a sentimental person." He was completely different from the impression he gave when they first met.

Su: "Although it was a bit embarrassing, they were still quite obedient."

“Sigh,” Farana smiled helplessly, “When the flood happened, he desperately lifted me to higher ground, but he himself…”

She watched her husband being swallowed by the flood, and the pain of losing him once again almost tore her heart apart.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm; the elven girl, unique to Fontainebleau, pulled her husband out of the water.

“After that, both he and I experienced some separation anxiety,” Farana said, looking at her grown son. “Fontaine is now my new home.”

Understanding his mother's meaning, Kavi smiled, "Uncle will be very happy to know."

Farana, with a touch of girlish mischief, said, "I'll make him happy when we get back."

Kavi: "Speaking of which, Su, why are you all alone? Where are Paimon and Kong? Are they alright?"

Sue: "Paimon drank something she shouldn't have, and her lips turned a strange color. She won't leave Chiori-ya until she recovers. As for Sora, I'm going to catch him and go find him!"

Kong let Paimon relay the message, saying that he needed some time to adjust himself.

She's been waiting for hours, now you can go find him!

After telling Kavi and Farana the meeting place, Su ran towards the coordinates of the void.

Farana watched the girl's hurried departure, then glanced at Kavi, whose gaze was drawn to her.

Liking a girl like that would be both blissful and exhausting.

However, Kavi has grown up. The pendulum of joy and sorrow is now determined by his own feelings.

——*——*——

This time, we finally found him before he moved to an empty coordinate!

Su Xinggao raised his eyes excitedly, and then saw that the silver-haired girl's hand was placed in front of her empty heart.
