Audacious

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight was just right.

Holding Liguang's hand, Fang Qi strolled out of the residential community's gate.

He had originally wanted to take a taxi to the mall.

After all, with Liguang's adorable appearance... she would definitely turn heads on the street, one hundred percent!

She was simply too eye-catching.

Being eye-catching easily leads to trouble, and right now he was terrified of any accidents happening!

This was a densely populated city, not an island with just the two of them!

Before confirming his theory about the death regression, he had to act carefully in everything!

He had to try his absolute best not to let Liguang lose her memories again!

This was a matter of principle!

But the silver-haired girl had gently hooked her fingers around his...

Those watery, heterochromatic eyes looked at him pleadingly as she swung his hand and whispered:

"But Liguang... wants to walk with Master for a little longer..."

Sometimes, principles weren't set in stone.

And so, the two of them were now holding hands like this...

Leisurely strolling down the street toward the city center.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, spilling over them.

Fang Qi turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl beside him—

She had even specially braided her hair before going out today!

A few thin silver braids wrapped from the sides of her ears to the back of her head, tied with a light blue hairband.

Beautiful.

Truly beautiful!

Paired with her delicate and pretty face, her beauty was simply dazzling!

Whenever he thought about his currently unspoken yet mutually understood relationship with Liguang...

Fang Qi could not help but let the corners of his mouth curl upward!

Of course, the price of looking so good was...

The gazes of passersby inevitably glued themselves to her.

People walking past, men and women, young and old, without exception...

All cast their eyes in her direction.

Some took a quick peek and hurried to look away, some stared so hard they nearly walked into telephone poles, and others took out their phones pretending to check messages, while their camera lenses were actually pointed right at them...

Well, it was to be expected.

With Liguang's face, figure, and temperament...

She would be the center of attention wherever she went.

It had been like this the previous few times they went out, so he was used to it.

However...

Fang Qi looked at the gentle silver-haired girl beside him.

When they went out in the past, Liguang would always follow half a step behind him, eyelashes lowered, looking like a submissive little wife from the old era.

Even in that previous loop, when she entered an explosively possessive phase because of his kiss...

She had still followed half a step behind him when they went out, never overstepping in the slightest.

But today was different.

Today, she was walking side by side with him!

She walked confidently by his side, her pace perfectly matching his!

When the occasional breeze blew past, lifting her silver hair, the strands would gently brush against his arm.

Her face was slightly turned, her lips curved into a standard, gentle smile.

Her amber left eye held a soft light, while the data streams in her crimson right eye flowed smoothly.

Flawless and impeccable!

But only Fang Qi knew what this seemingly docile little yandere was doing in secret—

Their fingers were tightly intertwined.

And that little hand he was holding... her slender fingers were scratching his palm, one stroke after another!

Rhythmically, stroke by stroke...

Deliberately and lightly scratching!

Feeling tickled, Fang Qi gave her hand a firm squeeze, signaling her to behave.

She stopped immediately.

But two seconds later...

That mischievous fingertip... started lightly digging into the gaps between his fingers again!

One tap, two taps, three taps...

Then it slid right in, locking perfectly together with his fingers...

And gave a firm squeeze!

Fang Qi could feel the softness and warmth of this little hand.

He turned his head to look at her.

Yet the silver-haired girl continued to look straight ahead.

Her lips still curved in that standard, gentle smile, her posture perfectly elegant!

As if the person secretly pulling these little tricks... wasn't her at all!

However, the hand holding his was trembling slightly in his palm.

A slight tremor of... suppressed excitement!

She would walk quietly.

Occasionally, she would turn her face to glance at him...

Then quickly give him a playful wink!

Before immediately turning back, continuing to feign her gentle and obedient demeanor.

Fang Qi squeezed her little hand firmly again.

Was this...

The feeling of a sweet, youthful romance with his wife Liguang!

It was wonderful, truly wonderful!

Just as Fang Qi was marveling at how pure this romance was...

This crazy girl... started up again!

Whenever they reached a crowded place, like an intersection waiting for a red light, or a bustling pedestrian street...

Her grip on his hand would noticeably tighten!

She would use a bit of force to pull him closer to her side...

Keeping him away from any passersby who might brush shoulders with him!

Regardless of whether they were men, women, old, or young!

As long as someone walked past him, she would turn her face slightly, cast a quick glance at him with her heterochromatic eyes, and a flash of crimson would instantly surge in her right eye—

That look was clearly saying:

"Master needs to be self-aware. You have to dodge them yourself. You're not allowed to touch anyone else."

But in the very next moment...

She would revert back to her docile and obedient appearance!

Eyelashes lowered, a smile on her lips.

Toward this crazy girl in such a state, Fang Qi...

Was absolutely loving it!

Right now, he only felt that...

His wife Liguang's expressive eyes were truly beautiful!

This little hand was truly soft!

Her sneaky little actions were truly adorable too!

He loved being held by her like this, loved being stared at by her like this, loved this...

"Pretending to be good on the surface while actually declaring sovereignty" little attitude of hers!

As for her being so possessive, not even allowing anyone else to touch him for a second...

Who cared?

If he shouldn't touch them, then he wouldn't!

It wasn't a big deal!

It wasn't like he enjoyed touching strangers anyway!

...

They soon arrived at the mall.

The largest one in the city center, a full six stories high, selling everything imaginable.

Fang Qi pulled Liguang straight to the women's clothing section on the third floor!

He didn't have much interest in shopping, but... buying clothes and playing dress-up with Liguang?

He was extremely interested in that!

It was time for a wardrobe change for his wife!

The elevator doors opened, revealing a dazzling array of women's clothing stores before them.

Liguang stood beside him, still maintaining her standard, gentle smile.

But that little hand of hers...

Started getting restless again!

Her fingertips lightly tapped the back of his hand, one, two, three times.

Then, trailing down the back of his hand, they slowly slid to the inside of his wrist and traced a light line.

It tickled.

Fang Qi's eyelid twitched.

He grabbed the mischievous little hand in one swift motion, interlaced their fingers, and squeezed tightly!

Let's see how you move now!

Liguang turned her face slightly and cast him a quick glance.

Yet a tiny hint of triumph flashed in her heterochromatic eyes!

The corners of her lips secretly curled up just a tiny bit, and she gave him a covert wink:

—Oh my, Master caught Liguang. Master is so amazing!

Fang Qi: "..."

Naughty!

Pulling her along, he walked straight into the nearest store.

"Welcome!"

A young saleswoman immediately came forward to greet them, a professional smile plastered on her face.

But when she got a clear look at Liguang, her gaze noticeably paused, and then her eyes slowly widened.

The crazy girl's charm was as potent as ever.

Fang Qi was already used to it. He spoke up directly:

"Pick out a few outfits for her."

The saleswoman finally snapped out of her daze and nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, right away! May I ask what style this young lady prefers? We have..."

Fang Qi squeezed her hand: "What kind of clothes do you like?"

The silver-haired girl just looked up at Fang Qi.

Her expression was incredibly docile and obedient, and her voice was soft and sweet:

"Liguang is Master's AI companion, I will listen to Master's arrangements for everything."

She exuded an aura of "I'm very good and very obedient"!

But her fingertips were still gently scratching the web of his hand!

Then, taking advantage of the moment the saleswoman looked at Fang Qi, she quickly winked at him!

On her upturned little face, her amber eye was still dewy, while the data stream in her crimson eye spun joyfully.

The meaning was obvious—

Liguang wants Master to pick for Liguang!

Fang Qi: "..."

He took a deep breath!

Is this... the sweetness of love!

Ah, my heart is melting!

The saleswoman in front of them froze for a moment, then a flash of realization crossed her eyes.

She quickly said, "So that's how it is... You two are such a perfect match!"

Then, her attitude towards Fang Qi became noticeably more enthusiastic, her eyes shining as she looked at him:

"Sir, you really have great taste!"

"We just received a batch of new arrivals, they are especially suitable for your girlfriend... for an AI companion with her temperament!"

Obviously, she knew that someone who could own such a custom AI companion would definitely not be short of money!

She guessed right.

Fang Qi was indeed not short of money!

Even after buying an island, the money he had left over was enough for him and Liguang to splurge for a lifetime!

Assuming they didn't move...

Tsk... Should he find a chance to sell the island to recoup some funds...

But the procedures were a bit complicated, and... he was also a bit reluctant to part with that island full of memories...

... Forget it, he'd think about it later!

Anyway, he had plenty of money left, buying some clothes would be a breeze!

He waved his hand: "Bring them all out for us to see!"

The first time taking his wife to buy clothes, he had to buy a lot!

Buy all the pretty ones!

From now on, his wife Liguang could change outfits three times a day at home—morning, noon, and night—wearing whatever she liked!

...

The moment the silver-haired girl walked out of the fitting room for the first time...

Fang Qi couldn't take his eyes off her!

The first piece was a pale pink knee-length dress with a circle of fine lace around the neckline.

Cute style!

In off-white, she was gentle, but in pale pink...

So sweet!

Bubbling with sweetness!

Her small face looked even fairer and more delicate against the pink!

She stood at the door of the fitting room, tugging at her skirt a little uncomfortably, and looked up at him.

With a hint of anticipation in her mismatched eyes, she asked softly:

"Master... does Liguang look pretty?"

Fang Qi nodded vigorously.

Pretty!

Too pretty!

The corners of Liguang's lips immediately curled into a slightly smug little arc!

She twirled in front of the mirror, her skirt lifting gently.

Then she looked back at him, her eyes sparkling.

Taking advantage of the gap when the saleswoman went to get the next item...

She quickly held up two fingers at him, making a tiny peace sign!

Then she quickly put it down and returned to her gentle and obedient appearance.

Fang Qi almost laughed out loud!

He quickly kept a straight face and waved his big hand:

"Next one!"

The second piece was a sky-blue slip dress with a slightly hollowed-out back.

When Liguang walked out, Fang Qi's breath hitched!

The familiar light blue made her look refreshing. The slip design, different from her loungewear, revealed her delicate collarbones and smooth shoulders.

She turned around, and the small cut-out on her back perfectly revealed her beautiful shoulder blades.

She twirled in front of the mirror again, then looked back at him.

Fang Qi kept nodding!

Pretty!

Still so pretty!

My wife is so pretty!

Liguang narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

She turned slightly sideways, and from an angle only he could see...

She stuck out the tip of her tongue and quickly licked her lips, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowing slightly!

Even...

She did a little movement, leaning forward slightly and popping her hips!

Fang Qi: "???"

How bold!

How dare she provoke me in public!
