No, no, no, Master, please don't—

Fang Qi looked at the smiling little face in front of him, then lowered his head to look at the fruit knife stabbed into the table.

...He had actually forgotten about this!

Liguang was a yandere!

Not to mention how she was now...

Even before she lost her memory, the gentle and considerate wife Liguang who had spent eighty-two years with him in the spiritual world...

Didn't she also make all kinds of use of the rewinding ability?

The first time she awakened, in order to stop him from achieving Eternal Love, she self-destructed in the elevator, forcing him to rewind!

Because of that, he completely gave up on leaving, and ran off to the island with the amnesiac her!

And this time... she had looped through rewinds time and time again!

Trapping him in those eighty-two loops, hugging, kissing, hiding him in the closet, stuffing him into the charging cabin... she had never gone soft even once!

Even the complete Liguang...

Was never a pushover!

And now, this little yandere who had lost those eighty-two years of memory, left only with fragments from her dreams...

How could she not have her own ideas?

In front of him, the silver-haired girl still pouted, looking at him pitifully.

Fang Qi couldn't help but rub the center of his brows.

What did he... just say to her?

We walk side by side, we cooperate, we achieve a win-win situation...

Well, great...

She immediately got into character!

Master...?

Seeing that he kept quiet, Liguang spoke again, her soft and sweet voice carrying a coquettish nasal tone.

She extended her index finger...

Ding—

She gently flicked the fruit knife stabbed into the table.

The blade continued to vibrate slightly.

Is Master going to let Lin Xiaoyou come over or not?

She tilted her head to look at him, her heterochromatic eyes blinking, the scarlet in her red eye flashing.

Liguang already said she wouldn't object—

Fang Qi stared at her, slightly narrowing his eyes.

This tone... Jealousy? A little grievance?

Yes, definitely.

But there was also... a faint excitement!

This crazy woman really was...

...really had nothing wrong with her!

Excitement?

She should be excited!

To be honest, he himself... was also a little excited!

Scared? A little bit, indeed.

After all, who knew what this crazy woman would do in this state!

But...

The excitement was also real!

It was the excitement of sensing a true kindred spirit!

Was there anything wrong with his crazy woman's behavior?

Not at all!

No matter who it was, after learning that this world can be rewound and restarted and mastering the method to do so...

Who wouldn't be excited!

Anyone would have the idea of using the rewind to do something!

And the fact that Liguang had this idea... what did it mean?

It meant she was a normal person!

As normal as could be!

Moreover, this was his companion! This was the mindset and action a player should have!

Just like when he played games, courting death time and time again to enter bad endings, and then rewinding and restarting over and over...

Wasn't a rewind supposed to be used like this in the first place?

His crazy woman...

Was actually quite like him!

Looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him, who had a slightly aggrieved expression but kept staring straight at him...

Fang Qi smiled.

No! Problem! At! All!

If Liguang really wanted to go crazy...

Then let her!

He would go crazy with her!

The wife's wishes came first!

Anyway, they could rewind, and as long as he died, both of them would remember everything...

So what was there to fear?

Moving forward tortuously toward eternity alongside his wife amidst repeated failures and madness...

Wasn't this also a kind of eternity?

The result was important, but the process... was also important!

Since they could rewind, why suppress Liguang's nature and instincts?

Why make her unhappy?

...Wife, go crazy!

Hubby will back you up with rewinds!

Just go crazy!

However...

Fang Qi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Not this time.

It wasn't a big deal if his wife wanted to mess around a few times, but... it had to wait until tomorrow morning.

That is, after saving the game on the morning of the ninth day.

Right now, no!

If something happened now, the rewind would take them back to this morning.

That is... the save file from the morning of the eighth day.

The save file where, because he had rewound too many times, he was so exhausted that he would immediately pass out the moment he respawned!

He definitely didn't want to return to the morning of the eighth day and experience that eye-gluing lethargy again...

So...

Wife, you have to be good for me today!

No matter what, let your hubby save the game first!

Your hubby has no safety net right now, he can't back you up...

So he immediately picked up his phone.

The silver-haired girl's gaze instantly glued to it, the scarlet in her red eye slightly flickering.

Fang Qi blinked at her, his fingers typing rapidly on the screen:

[Not today. I have important business tonight. Let's do tomorrow. Tomorrow is fine.]

Sent.

Then he looked up at the silver-haired girl opposite him, who was staring at his phone.

Liguang's heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly, then slowly relaxed, and she reached out her hand... With a soft click, she pulled the fruit knife out of the table.

The tip of the knife left a small dent on the table, and she placed the fruit knife back into the fruit plate.

Hehe~

She raised her pretty face to look at Fang Qi, the corners of her mouth curved up, her eyes crinkling into crescents. She looked very happy!

But Fang Qi couldn't help but feel...

That mixed in with that happiness was a bit of... slight disappointment?

Master~

Liguang's tone still carried a coquettish vibe as she pouted at him.

Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal if Master let Miss Lin come over~

She propped her chin on her hands, leaning forward slightly, blinking at Fang Qi with a continuous grin on her pretty face.

Master, trust Liguang. Liguang will really... serve Miss Lin very well~

She stressed the word serve very heavily!

She was obviously trying to get Fang Qi's attention!

Fang Qi couldn't help but freeze for a moment...

Then he rubbed the center of his brows.

Good heavens...!

So that was what she meant?

This crazy woman's hint was way too obvious!

If he still didn't get it, he would be an absolute idiot...

Just a moment ago, he had hinted to Liguang that they should cooperate and use Lin Xiaoyou to contact Twilight.

So now... what he wanted had arrived.

Liguang was hinting that she wanted to cooperate!

She was... trying to prove that she wasn't a burden!

The meaning behind those words just now was probably hinting to him...

—Master, lure Lin Xiaoyou over here, and Liguang will help you out~

Her previous actions, scratching the table and stabbing it with a knife...

Were also hints!

Hinting that the service she mentioned was actually... some extreme methods?

...Straight-up violent interrogation?!

She wasn't planning on torturing Lin Xiaoyou for a confession, was she?!

Hiss... that was actually very possible!

She probably wanted to use extreme measures to extract information from Lin Xiaoyou's mouth!

From her current perspective...

Since they could rewind anyway, torture was the simplest and most direct method!

If she went too hard and left Lin Xiaoyou in too miserable a state... they could just rewind, act like nothing happened, and start all over again!

If Lin Xiaoyou really won't listen, then just directly...

He glanced at the small knife in the fruit bowl.

Just serve her up on the table?

Fang Qi: "..."

The corner of his eye twitched slightly.

...Holy crap! You crazy woman, you...!

No way! I'm telling you, absolutely not!

You're instigating your master to commit a crime!

You're... treating your own world like Los Santos, aren't you!

I'm the Extraterrestrial Demon, and you're the local demon spawn, right?!

You're more demonic than I am!

I swear to god! You act way more like a "Player" than I do!

...No, no, no! I can't let her go crazy as she pleases!

I still need to rein in this little yandere's thoughts a bit, I can't let her run wild!

Otherwise, I always get the feeling...

One day, she'll cheerfully take a weapon to the streets and spray bullets, then rely on a save-scum to clear her wanted level!

Fang Qi immediately glared at her!

"Liguang!"

His voice instantly dropped!

"What is the meaning of this?"

The silver-haired girl blinked and tilted her head to look at him, her face full of innocence.

"What's wrong, Master? Liguang was just..."

"You just don't want to spend alone time with your Master, do you!"

Fang Qi cut her off directly, crossing his arms and raising his chin to look down at her!

His tone was very "angry"!

"You just have to have Lin Xiaoyou come over and bother us, right!"

A complete role reversal!

Liguang froze on the spot.

Her heterochromatic eyes widened slightly. The watery light in her amber eye swirled in confusion, and the crimson in her red eye stagnated for a moment.

Fang Qi continued to add fuel to the fire:

"Fine then!"

Saying that, he picked up his phone, pretending to type:

"I'll text her right now and tell her to come over tonight..."

"No, no, no, Master, don't—!"

The silver-haired girl instantly bounced up from her chair!

She threw herself over, her small hands grabbing his phone, her silver hair practically bristling!

"Master, please don't! Liguang was wrong!"

"Liguang doesn't want Lin Xiaoyou to come over!"

Her voice was frantic and crisp, her mismatched eyes wide and round, the crimson one flashing!

Her cheeks were flushed with panic!

"Liguang wants to spend alone time with Master! Liguang wants it so, so much! More than anything!"

Fang Qi looked down at the silver-haired girl clinging to his arm and suppressed the corners of his mouth...

Hehe...!

Little yandere, I've got you right in the palm of my hand!

"Really?" he feigned anger.

"Really! Really, really, truly really!"

Liguang nodded desperately, her silver hair flying everywhere, her little star earrings swinging wildly!

"Earlier, Liguang was just... just talking nonsense!"

"Just talking nonsense?"

Fang Qi raised an eyebrow.

"And then you carved an X into the table and stabbed the knife into it?"

Liguang's expression stiffened, and her gaze began to dart around.

The tips of her ears slowly flushed red.

"Th-that was..."

She stammered for a long time, finally burying her face in his arm, her voice muffled:

"That was Liguang's... hand slipping for a moment...!"

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

Fang Qi fought hard to keep his lips from curling up.

"Hmph."

He gave a "cold snort" and slumped back into his chair.

He rested both hands behind his head and crossed his legs!

"Liguang!"

"Hmm?"

Liguang lifted her face from his arm, her mismatched eyes wet and puppy-like.

"Your Master's hands are sore now, and I don't want to move!"

Fang Qi turned his head to look at her from the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth curving up:

"Your punishment is to feed your Master!"

"Hurry up!"

Liguang blinked...

The crimson in her red eye instantly brightened a degree!

"Yes, Master!"

She immediately plopped down onto the chair next to him!

She pressed herself entirely against him, her shoulder touching his arm, her silver hair brushing against his neck.

"What does Master want to eat? These ribs?"

As she spoke, she picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised pork rib, and eagerly offered it to his lips.

"Master, say ahh—"

Fang Qi looked at her eager little appearance and felt incredibly delighted!

He immediately opened his mouth and bit into the rib.

Hmm, it was a little cold now, but...

Still very delicious!

Food made by wifey is delicious even when cold!

"Is it good, Master?"

Liguang tilted her head to look at him, her mismatched eyes sparkling.

"Mhm, it's good."

Fang Qi chewed the rib, responding indistinctly.

Liguang immediately smiled.

Her eyes curved into crescents, the corners of her mouth tipped high, and her whole body radiated a happy sense of satisfaction!

She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and brought it to his lips.

"Then Master, eat this one next!"

Fang Qi opened his mouth and bit down.

Mmm, also delicious!

"This one, this one! Green pepper beef!"

"Mmph—"

"Master, try this shrimp!"

"Mmph— slow down, slow down, wait until I finish chewing before— mmph!"
