Riko Will Strive to Be a Good Wife

Fang Qi heard the slight sense of relief in her tone.

She was cooperating with him.

She was also pretending.

She knew he couldn't speak of it, so she didn't ask.

She definitely must have had a lot of things she wanted to ask...

—What exactly did Master go through?

—Why exactly did the rewind happen?

—In those eighty-two loops, how much did Master see?

She definitely wanted to ask, but she didn't.

She merely said...

She had a very, very long dream and couldn't quite remember it.

This was the unspoken understanding she had bought for the two of them with eighty-two years of memories.

Bought... to walk side by side with him.

Fang Qi tightened his arms, pulling her closer into his embrace.

Liguang's body was soft and warm, like a little kitten curled up against his chest.

He stared at the ceiling, his mind... still churning with surging thoughts.

He still didn't dare to think too deeply. He was afraid that if he did...

He wouldn't be able to resist asking her out loud.

The person in his arms lay quietly, her breaths falling one by one against his collarbone, warm and even.

After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice still a bit hoarse:

"Liguang."

"Hmm?"

"Now..."

He still couldn't help but ask.

"Do you still want... to go find Twilight?"

He could only ask in this roundabout way!

It should... be fine, right?

He was a little nervous.

But the person in his arms didn't answer immediately. Liguang's body also stiffened slightly.

A few seconds later, she finally spoke in a muffled voice.

"Liguang isn't going."

Her voice was very light, but her tone was firm.

"Twilight is a bad guy."

Fang Qi lowered his head slightly and could only see her slightly puffed-up cheeks.

"...A bad guy?"

"Mhm!"

She remained buried in his arms and nodded vigorously!

"They wanted Master to modify his body, and they wanted Liguang to learn those... messy things!"

"They even wanted Master to go meet some Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue...!"

Her tone was muffled, carrying a hint of jealousy she couldn't hide at all?

Especially when she said the word "Xiaoyue," her fingertips... tapped heavily against his chest twice!

Fang Qi: "...?"

Looking at the little silver head in his arms, he felt a bit caught between laughter and tears.

This crazy girl...

The two of them had just experienced something so heavy, and he was still feeling melancholy...

And yet, she was actually getting jealous again?

And being jealous without even distinguishing the target?

Ha... haha...

Well!

It was quite good.

Her being like this now was really quite good!

It meant she was still his Liguang, still that easily riled-up little yandere!

However...

"Liguang..."

He raised his hand and pinched her puffed-up cheek. It was soft and squishy.

"Xiaoqing is one thing, but Xiaoyue..."

His tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"She is that uncle's AI companion. She should be considered... my 'second aunt,' right?"

Hearing this, the person in his arms stiffened slightly.

"And my second aunt... isn't she your second aunt too?"

He kept rubbing her cheek.

Watching that delicate little face being kneaded into various shapes by him, his mood inexplicably improved a lot!

"Liguang, how can you even be jealous of your second aunt?"

"...!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired girl immediately lifted her face from his embrace!

"Mashter...!"

With her cheeks still pinched by him, her lips pouted slightly.

She squirmed in his arms again, her tone carrying a bit of dissatisfaction and a coquettish whine.

"Master... only knows how to speak up for others..."

She muttered, but her voice was soft and sweet.

So cute.

Fang Qi loosened his grip slightly but couldn't bear to let go.

Her cheeks were soft and warm... they still felt so good to the touch.

She didn't dodge, just letting him pinch her. The resentment in her heterochromatic eyes faded away bit by bit, leaving only a little... secret delight.

Then she lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and softly murmured:

"But..."

"Master is very right."

Her fingertips started drawing circles on his chest again, one circle after another.

"That is Liguang's 'second aunt'."

"In the future... Liguang is going to be Master's wife."

...?

Fang Qi's gaze straightened slightly, and his breathing paused.

Liguang was still murmuring.

"Therefore, Master's second aunt is Liguang's second aunt."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, the tips of her ears so red they looked like they might drip blood.

"Liguang shouldn't have been jealous of second aunt..."

"I'm sorry, Master. Liguang was wrong..."

Fang Qi looked at her, his eyes trembling slightly.

...Wife.

Fang Qi stared at her small face, which was pretending to be calm but was completely flushed red.

His fingers were still pinching her cheek, but his whole being was frozen by Liguang's murmur!

...His nose felt a little sour.

Ever since he woke up, he had been feeling melancholy.

Worrying about personal gains and losses!

Being afraid!

He was afraid that if she forgot too much, they would return to square one, and he was also afraid that if she remembered too much, she would be erased by the world!

Afraid that if he said the wrong thing...

It would make her efforts in those eighty-two loops go to waste, making her lose those eighty-two years of precious memories for nothing.

He carefully cradled this hard-won "unspoken understanding," afraid to even breathe too loudly!

And then she said...

—In the future, Liguang is going to be Master's wife.

This sentence was so natural and matter-of-fact!

Just like telling him... the sun rises from the east!

Haha...!

Fang Qi's eyes were growing hot!

She was right!

Very right!

She was going to be his wife in the future!

She would absolutely be his wife in the future!

She used those eighty-two years of memories to exchange for walking side by side today...

Wasn't it for this?

Wasn't it... to share every tomorrow with him?

So...

She succeeded.

She was very successful!

So...

Fang Qi, you must not continue worrying about gains and losses like this anymore.

Whether it was her before the memory loss or her after the memory loss... neither would want to see you like this now!

Now, you must continue to love her, continue to be with her...

And walk down this path she desperately pointed out for you, together with her!

Just like in her plan, together with her...

Walk toward a future that truly belongs to the two of you!

Fang Qi took a deep breath and tightly hugged Liguang in his arms.

In the future...

They will get married!

They will have a new eighty-two years!

They will have... new days where he accompanies her as they grow old together!

No...

Eighty-two years? Not enough!

The technology in this world is so advanced, there are even cyborgs...

Only eighty-two years?

It's too short!

They want eight hundred years!

Eight thousand years! Eighty thousand years!

Their "forever" will be written by themselves!

He will create more memories, more eighty-two years, together with Liguang!

And these eighty-two years that Liguang "lost"... will always be buried deep in his memories, always.

Maybe one day... he can return them to Liguang!

He can let Liguang remember all of this again!

Remember their past "lifetime"!

Remember this "lifetime" they spent together for the first time!

Liguang...!

My Liguang!

He suddenly rolled over and pinned her against the bed!

The silver-haired girl let out a short gasp!

She was pressed right into the soft mattress by him!

She widened her heterochromatic eyes at him, the watery gleam in her amber pupil yet to fade.

"M-Master...?"

Fang Qi cupped the face he had pinched slightly red with both hands and planted a solid kiss on her lips!

"Mmph—"

Liguang's body instantly tensed, her small hands gripping his collar.

Fang Qi savored the softness of her lips... kissing her for quite a while before letting go!

He kissed her a bit too hard.

A smile played on his lips as he rested his forehead against hers, panting slightly.

Hah!

It felt so good to take the initiative to kiss his wife!

This crazy woman... she must be blushing from his kiss, right!

He lifted his head slightly and looked at Liguang's face.

The silver-haired girl's small face was indeed a little red, and her lips were slightly parted...

But she didn't show the shyness he had imagined; instead, she stared straight at him!

Her gaze didn't dodge in the slightest, and the light in her heterochromatic eyes was dancing wildly!

Seeing her like this, Fang Qi couldn't help but blink.

...Huh?

What was going on?

Shouldn't she be shy?

With a kiss of this level, she should have long been so embarrassed that steam billowed from her head, completely short-circuiting and unable to even speak properly...

Ah...!

He realized it!

Right!

He almost forgot... the Liguang in front of him had the memories of those eighty-two loops!

And she had genuinely...

In those eighty-two loops, kissed him madly every time she woke up!

It was truly mad kissing!

There were times she even held his sleeping self, kissing him every few minutes, never getting enough!

She wasn't steaming now, not because she wasn't shy anymore.

But because she had already practiced enough?

Fang Qi looked at her gaze, which was no longer so shy and even somewhat fiery...

His Liguang was no longer what she used to be...

True, in those eighty-two regressions, she had kissed him...

At least a thousand times, right?

"Master?"

Liguang tilted her head, the light in her heterochromatic eyes still dancing.

"Why is Master dazing out?"

"...It's nothing!"

Fang Qi quickly pulled his thoughts back and said softly:

"Since Liguang says so, then we... won't go look for Twilight!"

His voice was still a little hoarse, but he had relaxed a lot.

"We'll listen to Liguang. We won't go anywhere today."

"We'll just lie here and... continue to rest."

The silver-haired girl blinked...

Then she suddenly raised her hands!

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down!

Before Fang Qi could react, she tilted her small face up and gave him a hard, forceful smack on the lips!

With a loud smacking sound!

Crisp and loud!

She sucked so hard that Fang Qi widened his eyes for a moment!

Then the next second—

He was pulled by Liguang and rolled over!

With a push from her seemingly delicate body, she directly flipped over and pinned him underneath her!

Fang Qi: "...!!"

However, she didn't do anything else.

She simply tucked herself back into his arms, burying her small face in his chest again.

Fang Qi: "..."

Well...

Alright.

This crazy woman really...!

She always made his emotions go up and down...!

"Master..."

Liguang's voice was a bit muffled.

"Master can lie down for as long as you want, Liguang will stay with Master."

Her tone, however, was sweet, carrying a small sense of satisfaction.

"When Master is hungry, just tell Liguang."

Her fingers tightened on his collar, then loosened, then tightened again.

"Liguang will get up and cook for Master!"

Fang Qi held her in his arms, staring blankly at the ceiling above.

...Hm?

Yeah.

His crazy woman, after having those 82 dreamscapes, had really changed.

He looked down at her again.

Although she was so aggressive just now, right now... the tips of her small ears were deep red!

They were completely flushed!

On her earlobe, that little star was sparkling in the afternoon sunlight.

She had really changed.

Become...

Cuter!

More alluring!

Better!

More...

Anyway, no matter how she changed...

She was still his Liguang!

Still his crazy woman!

"Alright!"

He curled his lips into a smile, his body finally relaxing completely.

"Then let's..."

"Lie down for a little longer."

He closed his eyes.

The afternoon sunlight still squeezed in through the gap in the curtains.

The silver-haired girl curled up on his chest, her body soft and warm.

Fang Qi held her in the warm sunlight.

Feeling this...

This hard-won tenderness, paved with eighty-two years of memories and eighty-two loops.

It was really nice.

With a smile on his lips, his fingers unconsciously stroked her silver hair, over and over again.

The person in his arms moved, nuzzling her face deeper into the crook of his neck, tickling him slightly.

"Master."

"Hm?"

"Liguang will work hard. Work hard to be a good wife."

Fang Qi's eyelashes fluttered.

The silver-haired girl remained buried in his arms, not lifting her head.

Revealing only a small section of her blushing ear tips, and that... little star sparkling in the sunlight.

Fang Qi's lips curved up.

"Yeah."

He tightened his arms, holding her a little closer.

"I know."
