The Never-Ending Nightmare of Going to Work

"Mmph—slow down!"

Fang Qi was fed by her bite after bite, his cheeks stuffed to the point of bulging.

He felt... like a hamster being fed.

Before he could even swallow the previous bite, the next one was already there!

Liguang was feeding him so earnestly.

For every dish she picked up, she would blow on it first, making sure it wasn't too hot before bringing it to his lips.

Occasionally, she would steal a bite using the very same chopsticks she used to feed him... and then secretly purse her lips around the tips!

Her little movements were so stealthy, and her cheeks were flushed red!

As Fang Qi chewed the delicious food, he couldn't help but smile.

Wifey, you're also a little bit of a pervert~

Mmh...!

The feeling of being fed by his wife... was awesome!

Right before his eyes, the silver-haired girl was secretly licking the chopsticks again.

She also cast a stealthy glance at him, and seeing that he was watching her, her face instantly turned even redder!

She hurriedly picked up another piece of food and brought it over!

"Eat, Master!"

"Awoo!"

Fang Qi bit down on the tips of the chopsticks in one go.

...This was his crazy woman!

Even though she had lost her memory, she was still the crazy woman who loved him the absolute most!

She would get jealous, act spoiled, and expose her morbid side in front of him...

She would immediately want to show off after he hinted at cooperation...

And she would also take care of him wholeheartedly when he needed it!

Having a wife is so great...!

"Master~"

Liguang picked up a piece of tofu and offered it, her voice becoming even softer and sweeter:

"Master, let Liguang feed you every day from now on, okay?"

Then she looked at him eagerly, her heterochromatic eyes shining with anticipation, a familiar, slightly morbid curve hanging on the corners of her mouth.

Fang Qi chewed the tofu and glanced at her.

Feed him every time? Like this?

...Then it wouldn't even take a few days before you fed me into a pig!

"In your dreams!"

Fang Qi swallowed the tofu and reached out to pinch her nose.

"It's not like I don't have hands!"

Liguang let out a "mmph" and wrinkled her nose, but the corners of her lips curled even higher.

"Then... occasionally?"

"Depends on my mood."

"Master~"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and feed me! I'm not full yet!"

"Yes~ Hehe!"

Liguang's eyes curved into crescents, and she immediately picked up another bite of food and brought it to his mouth.

Fang Qi opened his mouth and bit down...

"Ding!"

The phone rang again.

Chewing his food, Fang Qi looked down and glanced at the phone screen.

It was a reply from Lin Xiaoyou.

[Eh—alright, Senior, then tomorrow it is. It has to be tomorrow.]

Fang Qi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Good, looks like there's no problem.

Lin Xiaoyou wouldn't be coming today.

Xiaoyou, it's a good thing you didn't pester me. This choice just saved your little life.

If she really came, I wouldn't be able to stop my crazy woman...

But immediately after, messages popped up one after another!

[Senior, Senior, I can't hold it in. Even if I don't go, I have to tell you. Listen to me... I'm so annoyed today!]

[I had a really, really long super nightmare!]

[I dreamed that I kept repeating going to work in the morning, working all morning, eating lunch... and then going back to work in the morning!]

[I worked an unknown number of consecutive shifts before I finally woke up!]

[And the me in the dream didn't know anything, just kept repeating going to work!]

[Wow! My head is really going to explode right now!]

[I hate working! Hate it, hate it! (Crying Kitty.JPG)]

[I asked for a leave tomorrow, I'm not going to work! I need to rest for a few days!]

[I'll go find you tomorrow morning, Senior. I definitely have to talk to you about it!]

[It was simply a super working nightmare! So scary! It's simply the scariest nightmare I've ever had in my life! (Going Crazy.JPG)]

Fang Qi looked at the messages popping up on the screen one by one and blinked.

The chewing motion in his mouth slowed down.

...Eh?

Hmm...

Yeah.

Very good.

Now it could be confirmed.

Obviously, Lin Xiaoyou had also dreamed of those eighty-two loops.

But... hiss.

Lin Xiaoyou seemed really a bit pitiful!

Unlike the complete Liguang, she didn't share a "soul" with him, so she remembered nothing every time the timeline reset.

Every time Liguang woke up, she had her complete memories and could actively change the direction of each reincarnation, such as carrying him to the balcony, the charging pod, the wardrobe...

Every loop was different.

But Lin Xiaoyou in those loops... simply repeated everything without knowing anything!

Just going to work at seven o'clock, working all morning, eating lunch and thinking about taking a nap later...

And then returning back to seven o'clock in the morning when she had to go to work?

No rest, no weekends, not even sleep...

Continuously repeating the same morning, not knowing she was in a loop every time, thinking it was her first time experiencing it every single time...

Looping exactly eighty-two times, until the last time when Liguang killed him, triggering the condition for "memory dreams"...

Those eighty-two loops with blurred boundaries turned into a long dream and drilled straight into Lin Xiaoyou's mind!

Therefore...

She had a nightmare of "working all morning" eighty-two times in a row?

Hiss—!

How terrifying!

A top-tier nightmare! Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle!

An endless working nightmare!

Wow.

If it were him, he would probably resign immediately upon waking up!

He'd instantly get work PTSD!

However...

He didn't have to work anymore.

Hehe!

By the way, would An Lian also have this dream that repeated eighty-two times...?

Oh right, and there was also that police beauty sister Gu Xi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time...

"Master~"

A soft, sweet voice suddenly rang faintly in his ear, carrying obvious dissatisfaction.

Fang Qi's eyelids twitched, and he looked up.

Liguang was looking at him with a pout, her chopsticks holding a piece of beef suspended in mid-air, her small face showing aggrieved and unhappy little emotions.

"Right now, it's Master and Liguang's private world!"

Her voice was crisp and urgent, and her cheeks puffed up slightly.

"Master is not allowed to think of anything else!"

Seeing her angry little appearance, Fang Qi quickly turned off his phone screen.

"I wasn't, I wasn't!"

He opened his mouth and pointed at the piece of beef.

"Ah—"

Liguang pouted, let out a "hmph," but still stuffed the beef into his mouth.

With slightly too much force!

Fang Qi chewed the beef and mumbled a compliment:

"Delicious, delicious, delicious!"

Liguang didn't say anything and picked up another bite of food to hand over, but the corners of her mouth had already secretly curled up.

Chewing the delicacy in his mouth, Fang Qi also gradually relaxed.

Anyway...

Today is rest time!

Lin Xiaoyou's dream, An Lian's dream, Twilight's matters, Dawn's matters, whether the awakened AI would go crazy...

All of these, put them aside for now!

First, enjoy the present, enjoy this feast that his wife spent the whole afternoon making.

Enjoy this rare, simple two-person world... where there is no need to load files, run away, or scheme.

And after saving the file tomorrow morning...

It will be time to keep moving forward!

However, with Liguang's current state...

Could this be considered the calm before the storm?

Ha!

It doesn't matter!

Let the storm come even fiercer!

He was no longer afraid of anything!

"Master..."

Liguang's voice softened a little more.

"Tomorrow... are we really going to see Miss Lin?"

Fang Qi chewed his food and glanced at her.

The silver-haired girl was cautiously observing his expression. The chopsticks twirled in her fingers before coming to a stop.

Obviously, Liguang shared the same thought as him.

They both knew that starting tomorrow, things might get a bit intense.

There might...

No longer be the same warmth as tonight.

"Yeah, we'll see her tomorrow."

Fang Qi swallowed his food, his tone casual.

"But... that's a matter for tomorrow."

He reached out and pinched Liguang's cheek. It was soft and squishy.

"Today, it's just the two of us."

"Today, you're only allowed to think about me, nothing else!"

The silver-haired girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her heterochromatic eyes widened a bit, a watery gleam swirling within them.

"...Mhm!"

She nodded vigorously, her silver hair bouncing on her shoulders.

"Today, Liguang will only think about Master!"

She picked up some food with her chopsticks and brought it over to him, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"Master, say ah—"

Fang Qi opened his mouth and took a bite.

Outside the window, the orange evening light gradually faded, and night fell.

Most of the dishes on the table were polished off as they took turns feeding each other bite by bite.

Liguang fed him, and he would occasionally pick up a piece of spare rib and pop it into her mouth, making her cheeks flush as she muttered softly, "Master is so mean."

The two of them ate affectionately like this, and neither of them mentioned Lin Xiaoyou or Twilight again.

In this small apartment that belonged to them, they sweetly enjoyed each other's company.

...

The lavish "dinner banquet" was finally finished.

There was still a lot left on the table. After all, how could two people possibly finish eight dishes and a soup?

Fang Qi rubbed his stuffed, bulging belly and leaned back lazily against his chair, watching the silver-haired girl beside him clear the table.

Her side profile looked soft under the light. Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her little star earrings dangled back and forth.

Humming an off-key tune, she stacked the empty plates together and then stood on her tiptoes to reach the food containers in the cabinet.

As Fang Qi watched her, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

"Master—"

Liguang turned around holding the stacked dishes, her mismatched eyes sparkling.

"Tonight, Liguang will watch TV with Master!"

"Master, go sit on the sofa and wait for Liguang! Liguang will be right there after washing the dishes!"

Fang Qi stood up lazily from his chair and stretched.

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

He strolled over to the sofa, plopped down, and slumped entirely against the cushions.

From the kitchen came the sound of running water, the crisp clinking of dishes, and Liguang humming her song.

Fang Qi closed his eyes, a smile on his lips, feeling the tranquility of tonight.

It was really nice.

He tilted his head and half-opened his eyes to look toward the kitchen.

Under the light, the silver-haired girl's back was slender and graceful, the apron strings tied in a bow behind her waist.

Fang Qi watched for a while before suddenly speaking up:

"Liguang."

"Hmm? What is it, Master..."

"I love you."

The sound of the running water stopped for a second.

And then—

"Master is so bad...!"

Her voice was flustered and crisp, carrying a sweetness and shyness she couldn't hide.

Fang Qi smiled so widely that his eyes crinkled.

Outside the window, the night had completely fallen, and the stars lit up one by one.

Tomorrow would eventually come.

But tonight belonged only to him and her.
