Chapter 120

As soon as Wishdale woke up, the semi-transparent pop-up message informed Chen Ran.

Sitting in his office chair, Chen Ran pushed off with his feet and slid across using the wheels under the chair.

But seeing that Wishdale was still dazed, Chen Ran reached out and poked her little head playfully, teasingly saying, "They say that felines are unusually alert when they sleep—although you're not a cat, Little Wei, your vigilance is really... aren't you afraid of being attacked by wolves?"

Wishdale was still dazed; if anyone else had poked her head like that, Wishdale would have woken up long ago.

But when Wishdale looked up and saw Chen Ran, Wishdale was no longer sober. Instead, she acted like a cat that had been sucking on catnip, reaching out to hug Chen Ran's fingertips.

"Yawn... It's nothing..."

Wishdale yawned and slowly closed his eyes again. "Danger? Who cares about danger... anyway, my dog... will take care of it for me..."

"Wow, I'm sure now, Little Wei, you're really half asleep!"

One of Wishdale's family's inherited skills is being stubborn.

If she were sober, how could she possibly say something like "my family's"?

But as Chen Ran was thinking this, he looked down and found that Wishdale was already half asleep, using Chen Ran's soft palm as a bed and Chen Ran's fingertips as a pillow, and then curled up in a circle and continued to sleep soundly.

"Alright."

Seeing this, Chen Ran naturally wouldn't throw her back.

Instead, he continued to hold Wishdale in his hand, cuddling her like a little hamster. "Anyway, there's nothing much to do during the day, so let's just treat it as taking care of the child."

This time, Wishdale was truly awake.

First came the exhilarating flight, then the exhaustion, and finally, a long, restful sleep until I naturally woke up, with an extra nap in between.

In this situation, all the stress and fatigue simply disappear.

However, after waking up in Chen Ran's palm, Wishdale looked around at the pitch-black environment and still had to ask herself the three fundamental questions, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

But before Wishdale could ask the question, or even tell anyone that she had woken up—

Then, from a distance, the sound of clattering, clattering, like the sound of high heels stepping on the floor could be heard.

Turning his head, he saw a huge... uh, no, for Chen Ran, it should be a normal size Mylnar? It was walking towards Chen Ran in open-toed, barefoot high heels, wading through water.

"Here... the second Water Clone you wanted... I've already given it to you, okay? You can't go back on your word later..."

This 169cm tall, normal-sized Mylnar suddenly stopped as if it had crashed, closing its eyes and swaying its body after saying those words.

But she only disconnected the 'link' when she was in front of Chen Ran.

So much so that some people... well, actually, in Wishdale's eyes, this Water Elf named 'Mylnar' seemed to be throwing herself into someone's arms.

She walked up to Chen Ran and said, "Oh dear, I twisted my ankle and can't walk anymore. I need a hug." Then, shamelessly taking advantage of Chen Ran's kind heart, she didn't want to kick her to the ground. Instead, she collapsed into Chen Ran's arms and refused to move an inch.

Just as Wishdale was about to curse the Water Elf as a little bitch, he saw another 'Mylnar' about 18cm tall emerge from the table.

This startled Wishdale; she hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.

Chen Ran first used one hand to hug and hold the 'Water Clone' that had collapsed on him, and then said, "No? Even though it's just your Water Clone, Miumiu, aren't you being a little too rough? If I hadn't caught it in time, your Water Clone would probably be lying on the floor saying goodnight Anma, Miumiu now?"

"How can you say such things about other people?"

Mylnar pouted. "Rough? Can you compare to me? Humph... Anyway, I'm just my Water Clone, I can throw me however I want."

Hearing Mylnar's blunt words, Chen Ran first used one hand to pinch the cheek of the so-called 'second Water Clone's that was paralyzed on his body, testing its softness and temperature.

Then, looking down at the so-called 'original form' standing on the table, Chen Ran said, "Oh, so what kind of character are you playing today, Miumiu? Tsundere?"

"She's playing a resentful woman."

After saying that, Mylnar stopped pretending altogether, and her resentful little eyes pierced Chen Ran's spine.

"Yes, people know that Wishdale got the role of the female lead in a movie, with all sorts of responsibilities, burdens, and revenge. There was even a so-called 'villain' in the end, so that Wishdale would shout about bonds, friendship, and love, and then rush up and slap that Primal Originium..."

But the key point is that Mylnar's experience is not lacking in these elements either.

Wishdale's world is going to be destroyed, Mylnar's race is going to be wiped out.

Wishdale survived alone in the apocalypse, while Mylnar survived in a deadly poison.

Wishdale successfully resolved the crisis, Mylnar also secured survival.

Yes, if you look at their experiences side by side, they're actually quite similar, aren't they?

Why is it that when Wishdale expresses his love for Chen Ran, it's considered a happy ending or a case of the old guard surpassing the newcomer, but when Mylnar expresses her love for Chen Ran, all she gets are comments like "giving away freebies," "providing the Fiji Cup," and "giving him a halo of empathy"?

The key point is that these comments are all about Mylnar's 'Water Clone', and have absolutely nothing to do with her 'original body'.

Why should I?!

This is the source of Mylnar's current resentment.

Chen Ran explained that he understood the reasoning, but this was the reason why Mylnar disguised his "true form" as a "Water Clone" and then collapsed in his arms.
