Seeing this text message, Fang Qi's breath caught slightly.
[Master, Miss Lin's physiological reactions are showing anomalies~]
[She's not right anymore.]
Hmm...?
Does this mean... Lin Xiaoyou has recovered her memory?
...Interesting.
Very interesting!
Without changing his expression, he turned off his phone screen and casually placed it face down on the table.
Let me test the waters!
He looked up and smiled at Lin Xiaoyou and Xiaoqing:
"It's a spam message. Scams are everywhere nowadays. I don't know what's going on lately, but I keep receiving these..."
Then his left foot was stepped on!
And not lightly, either!
The aim was precise, landing right on his big toe!
Fang Qi: "..."
He glanced down from the corner of his eye.
Under the table, Liguang's foot, clad in a small black leather shoe, was stepping precisely on his!
Above the table, her expression remained a docile smile as she reached for another steamer of dim sum.
Her movements were elegant and natural, as if nothing had happened.
...But her foot pressed down a little harder!
Grinding against Fang Qi's toe!
—Master actually dared to call Liguang's text a spam scam message!
—That was a text from your future wife!
Meanwhile, Fang Qi's expression remained unchanged, not even a twitch of his brow.
...Cute!
"Ugh, spam messages are the most annoying!"
Lin Xiaoyou immediately chimed in, pursing her small lips, looking as though she deeply related!
"I get these kinds of messages every single day!"
"Things like 'I am your son', 'You won the lottery', 'Your husband is cheating'!"
She counted on her fingers.
"Once I even got one saying 'I am your long-lost biological sister'. My parents only had me, where would I get a sister!"
She threw her hands up, her round little face full of helplessness.
"Nowadays these scam texts even pretend to be your family members! 'Mom', 'Dad', 'Wife', 'Husband'... they're impossible to guard against!"
Fang Qi: "..."
You don't say! You really don't say!
"Pretending to be family members?"
He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and spoke with a hint of teasing:
"Then this spam text of mine is the same trick. It's pretending to be my wife!"
He shrugged and spread his hands:
"But where would I get a wife? This is obviously a scam te—Hiss!!"
The smile on Fang Qi's face froze instantly.
Severe pain in his toe!
Under the table, that small black leather shoe ruthlessly ground into his toe again! Showing no mercy!
If it were just a little bit harder, his toe would probably be crushed!
...Ouch, ouch, ouch!
You crazy woman, you really dare to stomp that hard!
I was just joking around!
Wasn't I just chatting more with Lin Xiaoyou to test her condition!
Lin Xiaoyou blinked and tilted her head at him:
"Senior? What's wrong?"
"N-nothing..."
Fang Qi's mouth twitched slightly as he forced a smile.
"Just suddenly thought..."
"This scam text is pretty clever, ha, haha..."
Under the table, the small leather shoe ground down hard once more!
Fang Qi: "..."
Wife, I was wrong!
I was really wrong!
You are my wife!
You are not some future wife!
You are my current one!
My only one!
My forever one!
He quickly slipped his hand under the table and gave Liguang's thigh a firm squeeze!
Through the skirt of her maid outfit, it felt firm.
The silver-haired girl remained seated properly, a docile curve on her lips, showing no reaction.
But the small leather shoe stepping on his foot eased its grinding pressure slightly!
Fang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Sigh...
He brought this upon himself...
Liguang had been too obedient lately, and the two had become unspoken good teammates...
He just always wanted to run his mouth and tease his own crazy woman!
It's human nature, okay!
He rubbed her leg flatteringly before sheepishly withdrawing his hand.
He couldn't provoke this little yandere anymore for the time being...
Only then did Liguang's lips curve up slightly as she retracted her foot.
Then she continued to "poison-test" for him.
She reached out, picked up a piece of spare rib, brought it to her own mouth, took a gentle little bite, chewed a few times, and then offered the rib to Fang Qi's lips.
"Master, please enjoy."
Mm.
Wife is so good!
Fang Qi opened his mouth and took a bite!
Delicious!
However...
That wasn't the main point right now.
Fang Qi looked at the round-faced girl in front of him.
The main point now was...
This naive, sweet girl in front of him, who was even better at courting death than he was!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyou had already lowered her head to tackle the chicken feet in her bowl.
The sleeves of her pink jacket were rolled up to her elbows, and there was sauce smeared on the corner of her mouth.
She looked just like an ordinary girl enjoying good food.
But...
Was she really still ordinary now?
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liguang said her physiological reactions had already started showing anomalies!
Was she still that naive, sweet girl now?
Probably not anymore.
Liguang's detection wouldn't be wrong!
If nothing was detected, it might mean the other side was hiding something, but since it had already been detected...
Then there was definitely a problem!
"Senior, Senior!"
Lin Xiaoyou raised her head, a bit of sauce still on her mouth, looking at him pitifully:
"You know, the dreams I've been having these past two days are so weird!"
"That's why I took the day off today!"
She said this while wiping the corner of her mouth with a tissue, her movements completely natural.
"I have nothing to do all day today, I can finally get a good rest!"
Fang Qi waited for her to continue talking about the contents of her dreams.
But she didn't.
After wiping her mouth, she crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it on the table, cupping her face in her hands, her almond eyes curving as she looked at him...
Then she suddenly changed the subject!
"Oh right, Senior, you're free today too, right? After we finish eating, do you want to go hang out together?"
She blinked, her ponytail swaying.
"Xiaoqing and I will take Senior to a good place!"
...She changed the subject?
Fang Qi bit into the shrimp that Liguang offered, which had a small bite taken out of it, chewing as he looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
Just a moment ago she wanted to talk about her dreams, and now she jumped straight to "going out to play after eating"?
And...
She wanted to take him to a "good place"?
Interesting.
Right then, a tickling sensation came from his leg.
Liguang's hand was under the table, resting on his knee.
Her fingertip was drawing something on his leg, stroke after stroke...
It was an "X"!
Liguang was drawing crosses! Drawing them non-stop!
Fang Qi pursed his lips, immediately understanding Liguang's meaning.
She was telling him:
—From just now, Lin Xiaoyou hasn't been right at all!
Fang Qi maintained his composure and smiled at Lin Xiaoyou:
"Well, I really don't have anything going on, hanging out together isn't a bad idea, but..."
He looked at the silver-haired girl's docile, pretty face, gently smoothed her hair, and spoke with a hint of doting:
"We have to bring Liguang along."
Liguang's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Lin Xiaoyou immediately flashed a bright smile:
"Of course, we can't just send Liguang away!"
Saying that, she even winked at Liguang.
The silver-haired girl continued to smile.
"Liguang will be intruding then."
Her voice was docile.
But the speed at which her fingertip drew crosses on Fang Qi's leg grew even faster!
—Master, Lin Xiaoyou is a huge problem!
Fang Qi blinked and slightly pulled his legs back.
Wifey, I get it! Stop drawing! It tickles!
And then...
"That is good."
He nodded gladly and asked with a casual smile:
"So, Xiaoyou, where are you taking us? Where is this great place you mentioned?"
Lin Xiaoyou just giggled, pressed her index finger to her lips, and winked at him:
"It is a secret!"
She tilted her head, her ponytail swaying along.
"That place... is my and Xiaoqing's se-cret-base~"
She emphasized the words secret base heavily!
"Senior, you will know once we get there!"
She leaned forward a bit more, clasping her hands together in a pleading gesture, her almond eyes sparkling as she looked at Fang Qi:
"Come on, Senior, let's..."
"Xiaoyou! You...!"
A low voice came from the side.
It was Xiaoqing.
She finally stopped keeping her head down in silence and immediately looked up!
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her lips were pursed!
The previous timidity and shyness were completely gone!
"How could you...!"
Her tone was a bit stiff, carrying a hint of gnashing teeth!
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyou turned her head to look at her.
The corners of her mouth were still turned up, and her almond eyes were curved into crescents.
She blinked at Xiaoqing, her voice light and brisk:
"What is wrong, Xiaoqing?"
Her tone even carried a hint of coquettishness!
"It is so beautiful there, let's take Senior and Liguang to see it!"
Xiaoqing opened her mouth as if wanting to say something.
Her gaze shifted from Lin Xiaoyou's face to Fang Qi, then back again, her lips moving...
Eventually, she lowered her head again.
Her bangs fell down, covering her eyes.
"...Yes."
The word was spoken through gritted teeth!
Fang Qi's pupils slightly contracted.
...Hmm? What did she say?
"Yes"?
...That word was a bit subtle.
This was definitely not something a best friend should say to another best friend.
Instead, it was...
What an AI companion would say to its master!
He was far too familiar with it!
Was not this the exact same tone Liguang used every time she said "Yes, Master" to him?
This submissive, obedient tone!
...At least submissive and obedient on the surface.
So...
Xiaoqing was taking orders from Lin Xiaoyou?
Then the current Lin Xiaoyou really was...
Fang Qi looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
Having received Xiaoqing's response, Lin Xiaoyou smiled playfully and turned back to look at Fang Qi.
She was still smiling.
An innocent and bright smile hung on her round little face, looking just like an ordinary young girl inviting friends over to play!
But the moment Fang Qi made eye contact with her—
She blinked.
She blinked twice, very quickly!
...Hmm?
Fang Qi's pupils shrank slightly.
In that instant, those round almond eyes completely lost their previous naive and sweet innocence!
Clear!
Sharp!
And from those few rapid blinks, Fang Qi saw a trace of...
Pleading?
Please, just agree!
But it was only for a split second.
She quickly returned to her giggling demeanor, tilting her head as her ponytail swayed:
"Senior, let's go~"
"Please~"
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
