Witch Special

"Hey, Yan Miao, so you can live so long? How do you calculate your growth stages? Did it take decades for your small account to grow to your current size?" Lin Zhenxi now began to regard Yan Qing as an immortal species. The long-lived races she had come into contact with, whose lifespans were counted in the hundreds or thousands, often had ridiculously long growth periods. A few decades for humans is often a lifetime, and those immortal species are still just little bastards.

Although he couldn't see Yan Qing's expression, Lin Zhenxi felt that Yan Qing must have rolled her eyes.

"How is that possible? We're clones, designed to work. Generally speaking, we grow directly into adulthood in the incubator, digesting all the knowledge instilled into our brains. By the time we awaken from the incubator, we're already experts in the relevant field, mastering a large number of key technologies and able to independently lead research and development in a specific area. As for the rest of our time, it's all work."

"The knowledge I was taught was basic medicine, pharmacology, and genetic disease—all medical-related. If I hadn't time-traveled, I'd probably be the director of a medical research institute by now. I don't know how the 'Organization' would handle the talent gap created by my time travel. I'm afraid they'd just temporarily recruit one of the next 'me's'."

Yan Qing described herself as a brick in building a house. There were many people like her, and one more brick wouldn't make too many or too few. Even if she disappeared, anyone could just pick up another brick to fill her place, and the system would still be able to operate normally.

This is actually quite normal, isn't it? Isn't that how companies operate these days? Aside from key experts who possess core technologies in key areas, everyone else can be replaced at any time. These routine personnel changes won't hinder the company's operations in the slightest. At most, colleagues in the same position will share some of the workload, absorbing the pressure and giving the company time to recruit new people.

Of course, there are also situations where layoffs hit a critical mass, potentially leading to the company's collapse overnight. However, this typically only happens to smaller companies. Large, established companies have redundant backups for every position, so theoretically, it's impossible for the entire company to collapse due to the loss of one person.

What else could Lin Zhenxi say? She could only comfort her friend, "It's okay. It has nothing to do with you anyway. Now you're the director of the resettlement center, a senior executive of the 'company', or maybe just a less popular store visitor, occasionally doing some minor things..."

"What's wrong with me being a host? It's my hobby. I'm happy and enjoy it. If no one is watching, I'll broadcast it to myself. If you say anything else, I'll bite you." Yan Qing suddenly raised her head, baring her fangs and said viciously, as if she was trying to find a place on Lin Zhenxi's neck to bite.

Lin Zhenxi tilted his head back to avoid Yan Qing's cat-mouth attack.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing. It's nice to have your own hobbies. Anyway, what I'm saying is, your life is so fulfilling now. Your job is easy, your income is high, and your social status is good. The most important thing is that you can stay young forever. You can live for a thousand years, which is something others can't even dream of. So you should feel very happy now. There's no need to feel depressed at all."

After Lin Zhenxi finished speaking, she waited for Yan Qing's reply, but the cat girl didn't say anything else and fell into silence. This made Lin Zhenxi feel a little awkward. No one responded to her words, and now thinking back, those words just now seemed to sound quite corny.

Perhaps I should have thought more carefully before opening my mouth just now.

Just as Lin Zhenxi was beginning to regret secretly, Yan Qing suddenly asked, "Zhenxi, you said you were a witch. And in fairy tales, witches are either old, ugly, and evil, or immortal and eternally youthful. What about you? Which one are you?"

"Do I even need to ask? Do you think I'm old, ugly, or bad?" Lin Zhenxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"That means you are also very long-lived, right?" Yan Qing continued to ask.

This time Lin Zhenxi knew what Yan Qing wanted to express. Isn't this exactly what she was thinking just now?

"That's right, time means nothing to me, so don't worry, Yan Miao, even if time passes, I will still be by your side, you don't have to worry about being alone in the future."

Yan Qing said "hmm" and stopped talking, but Lin Zhenxi could feel the pressure from the left suddenly increase, and Yan Qing leaned her entire upper body over.

Lin Zhenxi felt that it was quite uncomfortable to continue raising his arm like this, so he relaxed and put his arm on Yan Qing's shoulder.

The two of them maintained this posture for a long time. Yan Qing suddenly made a "hmm" sound and straightened her curled up legs, but she did not put them on the ground. Instead, she hung them in the air, which made her become a slightly tilted "L", which looked a bit abstract and ridiculous.

Lin Zhenxi turned his head and looked at Yan Qing's white feet, which were stretched straight but dared not touch the ground. Even the slightly blue blood vessels on the instep were clearly visible.

"Are your feet numb?"

"Yeah." Yan Qing nodded, still maintaining that awkward posture without moving.

Lin Zhenxi immediately put on a wicked smile on his face, pulled his arm back from behind Yan Qing, and prepared to poke Yan Qing's calf.

Yan Qing immediately let out a cry of pain and turned her body to prevent Lin Zhenxi's fingers from getting close to the part below her knees. At the same time, she reached out to push Lin Zhenxi, and the two of them soon became a mess.

Although it seemed that Lin Zhenxi was bullying Yan Qing, this ordinary playfulness only allowed happiness to flow back and forth between the two of them. Soon, both of them had smiles on their faces. However, as Lin Zhenxi began to tickle Yan Qing, the smile on Yan Qing's face gradually became distorted.

"Stop, stop! Maki, I can't breathe!" Yan Qing directly hugged Lin Maki's arms, pressed her hands in front of her body, and begged for mercy.

Lin Zhenxi hummed twice in triumph, retracted his hand, and let Yan Qing go. Yan Qing finally put her foot back on the ground, tapped the ground twice, and after making sure the numbness had subsided, she suddenly jumped up and turned around to pounce on Lin Zhenxi, pinning half of Lin Zhenxi's body to the sofa.

"Now it's time! Round two!"

"Hey, you are repaying kindness with evil. I just let you go!" Lin Zhenxi was caught off guard and fell into a disadvantage in an instant. This time, she was the one who screamed.

"That's it, a cat's revenge never takes overnight." Yan Qing lifted the hem of Lin Zhenxi's shirt, put her hand into the clothes, and began to tickle Lin Zhenxi. Lin Zhenxi was like a fish that had been landed, struggling in vain under Yan Qing's dexterous fingers, and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

"Stop, stop, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, Yan Miao, I'm sorry I shouldn't have poked your foot, I admit defeat." Lin Zhenxi said, slapping the back of the sofa hard.

Yan Qing finally let go of the disheveled, flushed, and panting Lin Zhenxi. Satisfied, she stood up and began searching for the high heels she had taken off earlier. Judging by the way her tail was swishing back and forth, she must be in a terrific mood.

Lin Zhenxi half-lay on the sofa for a long time before finally calming down her breathing. Seeing Yan Qing's mood improve again, Lin Zhenxi also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been arguing with Yan Qing before just to make her forget her troubles and get rid of her melancholy. Now that Yan Qing had returned to her usual energetic self, Lin Zhenxi's goal was achieved.

Although she paid a considerable price, it was all for her friends, so selling her body was acceptable.

Lin Zhenxi also stood up and began to straighten her clothes that Yan Qing had messed up, and to tie her messy hair back up. Meanwhile, Yan Qing quietly moved closer to the exit of the rest area, making it look like she was going to run away if Lin Zhenxi didn't keep her word, leaving Lin Zhenxi in a dilemma.

"Okay, it's over. I've already acknowledged that you won. I won't do anything to you anymore."

"But only for today. I won't let you go so easily next time."

After hearing what Lin Zhenxi said, Yan Qing came over with a victorious smile on her face, not taking Lin Zhenxi's subsequent threats seriously at all.

"Hehehe, Maki Maki, do you want some ice cream, meow." When Yan Qing was happy, she finally remembered her habit of talking.

Without waiting for Lin Zhenxi's response, she leaned over and grabbed her arm, pulling it against her chest, and pulled her forward. Lin Zhenxi, like a kite being pulled, had no choice but to follow Yan Qing's steps. With the crisp sound of Yan Qing's high heels hitting the marble floor, the two figures disappeared behind the greenery barrier.

This time, the series of intimate interactions triggered by Lin Zhenxi's discovery of Yan Qing's psychological problems finally came to an end.

Lin Zhenxi didn't even mention checking in on the younger Yan Qing. She left it to Yan Qing to decide what her future would be like. This was Yan Qing's own business, and Lin Zhenxi didn't even bother to offer suggestions. She didn't intend to influence Yan Qing's decision.

Yan Qing is also an adult, she will be responsible for the decisions she makes. These decisions she makes should also be the result of careful consideration. Lin Zhenxi believes that Yan Qing will handle the relationship between herself and the small replica well.

Just like that, Lin Zhenxi left happily with two boxes of ice cream, a specialty of the resettlement center. Next, she would go to the empty room she had reserved with an Internet cable and release Buffon No. 2.
