It's Just Surveillance, What's There to Fear

Fang Qi took a deep breath and was about to grab his phone—

But the person in his arms was faster!

With a swish, that small hand shot out from his chest and accurately snatched the phone off the bedside table!

Fang Qi's hand grasped thin air!

He froze for a moment and looked at the silver-haired girl lying on his chest.

Liguang was holding up the phone, the light from the screen reflecting on her pretty face.

She didn't give it to him, just held it up, tilting her small head and looking at the screen.

The light from the screen made her eyelashes flutter.

Fang Qi blinked:

"Liguang?"

The silver-haired girl didn't move, glancing at the screen, then at him.

Another glance at the screen...

Another glance at him!

Then her small mouth pursed slightly, showing an "I'm unhappy but I won't say it" expression.

Fang Qi: "..."

Crazy woman, are you trying to rebel!

How dare you snatch your master's phone!

Speaking of which, haven't you always been able to monitor it directly! Do you need to snatch it!

"Give it back!"

He reached out to grab it!

But Liguang actually hid the phone behind her back!

She was still lying on his chest, blinking at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a bit of smugness.

Fang Qi's hand grasped thin air again.

"Li, guang!"

He gritted his teeth.

This crazy woman is really pushing her luck!

He raised his hand and slapped her backside!

Smack!

Not too heavy, not too light, crisp and loud.

"Mmm!"

Liguang let out a soft exclamation.

But she still didn't take the phone out, just twisting her waist, dodging his hand, then burying her face in the crook of his neck and rubbing it twice, saying muffledly:

"Master, Miss Lin sent a text message~"

Fang Qi glared at her and said:

"Of course I know, so let me see what she sent, so Master can reject her!"

"Mmm..."

Liguang twisted in his arms, then slowly took the phone out from behind her back.

But she still didn't hand it to him, instead staring at the screen herself...

Using a perfectly imitated, lively and soft voice, she read it out word by word:

"Senior, senior~! Are you back? Can I go to Senior's house now? I really have a lot to say to Senior~!"

After reading, she looked up, a sweet curve forming at the corners of her mouth.

...squinting at him!

Her amber left eye was full of "Master, look at her"!

The crimson in her red right eye flowed slightly, with a faint scrutiny.

Fang Qi: "..."

...Naughty!

He was just feeling creeped out and terrified, still frantically deducing Lin Xiaoyou's identity...

As a result, being played by Liguang like this, all those emotions faded!

So cute!

...But Lin Xiaoyou's problem still had to be resolved!

At least he had to reply to her message, otherwise he felt like... she would just rush over without permission!

If it were normal times, that wouldn't be impossible, just to verify his guess, but...

He was almost dying of sleepiness now, where did he have the brainpower to deal with a person of questionable identity!

So he deliberately kept a straight face, reaching out to poke the silver-haired girl's forehead!

"Have you had enough? Give the phone back to Master, otherwise how can I reject her!"

Liguang was poked so that her small head leaned back, but she still didn't move.

She just looked at him like that, her eyes curved.

Fang Qi narrowed his eyes, lowering his voice a degree:

"Do you not want your butt anymore?"

The silver-haired girl's face instantly flushed red!

She pursed her lips, snorted softly, and a flash of shame, annoyance, and joy flashed in her amber eyes.

Then she reluctantly stuffed the phone into his hand!

The stuffing action still carried a little temper, and her fingers gently hooked his palm.

Then she nestled back into his arms, grabbing his collar with her two small hands, turning her small face away from him.

A look of "Master was fierce to Liguang, Liguang ignores Master".

Fang Qi: "..."

He felt... his mind was boiling!

...Business first!

He quickly looked down at the phone screen.

Lin Xiaoyou's message was exactly the same as what Liguang just read.

[Senior, senior! Are you back? Can I go to Senior's house now? I really have a lot to say to Senior!]

Fang Qi stared at this line of text and narrowed his eyes.

His already exhausted brain began to operate with difficulty again.

There was nothing wrong with Lin Xiaoyou's words.

He had told her on the island that he was coming back today.

It was only morning now, her asking if she could come to find him...

Indeed fit what a "girl who likes her senior" should do.

But...

His suspicion of her identity hadn't lessened at all!

It was just... he was really too tired now, so tired that he almost didn't have the strength to deduce.

So his fingers moved, typing a few words to send over:

[Just came back today, too tired, need to rest for a day. We'll talk about anything tomorrow.]

As soon as the message was sent out, the silver-haired girl in his arms hummed in satisfaction and obediently lay on his chest.

Then there was another "ding".

Lin Xiaoyou replied in seconds.

[Okay Senior! Then we have an appointment for tomorrow! (Happy to spin in circles.JPG)]

Fang Qi stared at that cute meme.

What a familiar meme, she didn't know how many times she had sent it before.

But now he was wearing "colored glasses", looking at every word Lin Xiaoyou sent with extreme suspicion!

Moreover...

Who made an appointment with you for tomorrow!

Do you understand what "brushing off" means!

Deliberately looking for loopholes in his words, wanting to deliberately get close to him, right!

Deliberate!

Suspicious!

While he was thinking, a hand suddenly reached over from the side and snatched his phone away!

Fang Qi: "?"

His already overdrawn brain suddenly froze for a moment...

Then he saw Liguang's slender finger press the phone's power button, and then...

The phone screen went black.

It shut down directly!

Fang Qi: "..."

Okay.

The silver-haired girl put the phone on the bedside table and nestled back into his arms.

"Miss Lin is interfering with Master's rest."

She spoke very softly, sweet and glutinous.

"Master should rest, otherwise it's bad for your health."

It was quite righteous...

Well, just treat it as a wife caring for me.

Moreover, he was indeed dying of sleepiness, but still a little...

The person in his arms suddenly arched up again, and her warm breath came to his ear.

"Master."

Her voice was soft, but exceptionally serious.

"Liguang will protect Master."

Her soft red lips gently touched his earlobe.

"No one can hurt Master."

"Miss Lin... is the same."

Huh?

Fang Qi was stunned.

He turned his head to look at her.

In the dim light, that pretty face was only a few centimeters away from him.

The crimson in her red eye lit up half of her face, and the corners of her mouth raised again, revealing a shallow dimple.

Then without waiting for him to react, she shrank down again, found a comfortable position, and nestled back into his arms.

Her small face pressed against his chest, her two small hands grabbing his clothes...

Well-behaved.

Fang Qi held the warm, soft body in his arms...

And suddenly smiled.

Hah... that made sense.

If he could figure out that there was something wrong with Lin Xiaoyou, how could Liguang not have realized it?

She was the crazy woman who kept her eyes glued to him every single day!

If he so much as glanced at another woman, she would note it down in her mental little black book!

Lin Xiaoyou's suicidal remarks, those chance encounters, those outrageous maneuvers...

She had seen it all and kept it in mind long ago!

Moreover, she didn't have his good gaming teammate filter!

In her mind, Lin Xiaoyou's position was probably an incredibly suspicious female human right from the start!

Or perhaps... a female carbon-based lifeform trying to steal her master?

In short, she never saw Lin Xiaoyou as a good person; her guard against her had been maxed out from the very beginning!

She had probably suspected Lin Xiaoyou for a long time, just without telling him!

But just because she didn't say it didn't mean she didn't know!

So her little actions just now...

Biting his neck, snatching his phone, peeking at his text messages, mimicking Lin Xiaoyou's tone to read them to him, and finally considerately turning off his phone...

Was it actually because she saw he was worried and was using her own way to comfort him?

Fang Qi tightened his arms, hugging the person in his embrace even closer!

Wifey...

You're so good to me!

He finally closed his eyes in peace, his entire body relaxing.

His previous tension completely dissipated.

His exhausted brain began to sort through its final thoughts.

Yeah...

With Liguang around, what was there to be afraid of?

In the previous loop in that building, how many armed personnel had Liguang slaughtered all by herself? A hundred Lin Xiaoyous attacking together wouldn't even be enough for her to fight with one hand.

As long as he could be with his wife, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

Not to mention... Lin Xiaoyou's identity hadn't even been confirmed yet.

Maybe she really was just a naive, love-struck sweet girl?

You never know!

Taking a ten thousand steps back, even if Lin Xiaoyou really was someone sent by the company to monitor him...

So what?

Let them monitor him, he wouldn't lose a piece of flesh.

Being monitored by a cute junior was always better than being secretly stared at by someone hiding in a dark corner.

Besides, if it really was Lin Xiaoyou monitoring him... then his conscience would be perfectly clear.

He wouldn't feel a single ounce of guilt when he used Lin Xiaoyou in the future!

Thinking this way, a feeling of reassurance immediately welled up within him.

All his nervousness was completely washed away.

Then...

An even heavier wave of exhaustion swept over him.

So sleepy...

Dead tired...

The wife in his arms was so warm...

So soft...

Smelled so good...

His consciousness began to blur slowly, sinking down, sinking into the depths of that warm darkness.

A soft voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

It was Liguang.

She was humming a song by his ear.

A gentle, soft tune.

It was somewhat familiar, as if... he had heard it somewhere before...?

He couldn't remember...

But...

It was very gentle, very reassuring, very warm.

Wifey...

How are you even so good at coaxing someone to sleep...

The humming gently echoed in the room like a lullaby.

Beat by beat.

As gentle as a dream.

So nice.

So reassuring.

Goodnight, Liguang.

Sweet dreams.

His consciousness finally sank completely into that gentleness.
