Fang Qi stared at the screen, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.
It was these four sentences again.
The standard four sentences!
In the last loop, and the loop before that...
It was always these four sentences.
Even the stickers were exactly the same!
He subconsciously looked up again and glanced at the building opposite him.
It was still reflecting light, still impossible to see anything clearly.
Could it be...
...that the current Lin Xiaoyou was still that sweet, silly, and naive girl?
She hadn't recovered her memory yet?
In the last loop, she had talked about her cognitive interference ability in the secret room.
With the switch on, she was the genuine, sweet, and naive Lin Xiaoyou.
With the switch off, the genius Miss Lin You would awaken.
So the one sending the text messages right now... which one was it?
If she was still in her sweet and naive state...
Fang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Did that mean he...
Could take the opportunity to bully this naive girl a bit and get some payback?
In the last loop, he had been manipulated by her from start to finish. Even the way he died had been arranged by her.
Now, she had reverted to that innocent little fool who didn't even know who she was...
Shouldn't he seize this opportunity?
Ahem... this thought was a bit shameful...
However...
Fang Qi's smile faded.
She might not actually be that sweet and naive girl.
She could very well be faking it!
In the last loop, inside that metal room, she had said it herself...
Her cognitive interference switch could be actively controlled!
She could turn into that sweet, naive girl at any time, and change back at will whenever she wanted.
Tsk, how convenient.
Moreover, in the last loop, when Lin Xiaoyou was arguing with Xiaoqing in that tiny mini car...
She and Xiaoqing had discussed poisoning him, but she had ultimately vetoed it!
...It couldn't possibly have been her sweet and naive persona discussing that, right? Therefore, she absolutely had the ability to control herself and change back!
It was just that...
Even a genius like her had miscalculated.
Xiaoqing had ignored her veto and taken it upon herself to poison him during that morning tea.
And it was exposed on the spot by Liguang, otherwise her plan would have died right then and there...
Hm...?
Wait.
It seemed... it was precisely because of this incident that Xiaoqing had been punished by Lin Xiaoyou to kneel on the B1 floor?
Xiaoqing... punished to kneel?
Fang Qi's mind paused for a moment.
...Wait a minute.
This incident...
Was it really just Xiaoqing taking things into her own hands?
Could it be... that this incident was also planned by Lin Xiaoyou?!
She deliberately discussed the poisoning plan with Xiaoqing, deliberately let Xiaoqing know, deliberately vetoed it, and then deliberately allowed Xiaoqing to carry it out...
Did she also calculate that Liguang would test the poison for him?
And her goal was... to make Xiaoqing make a mistake in the morning tea shop?
So she would have a reason to punish her by making her kneel on the B1 floor?
That way, Xiaoqing wouldn't enter the secret room, wouldn't see the scene of her death... and wouldn't be heartbroken.
...Hiss.
Lin Xiaoyou, you...!
I...!
Sigh...
Fang Qi buried his face back into the hood of Liguang's pajamas.
His face was filled with a fluffy sensation.
Scheming against a genius like her, he really felt like his brain wasn't enough...
Every single detail could have been designed by her.
Every accident could be a part of her plan.
He wasn't even sure...
Whether his current suspicion of is she faking it or not was also within her calculations?
Lin Xiaoyou, you really are...
You even scheme against your own people!
Being your teammate isn't safe either...
Would he be schemed to death by her!
...If I die, I die!
Who's afraid of who!
I can always rewind anyway!
He raised his head again and looked at the message on the phone screen.
If Lin Xiaoyou wanted to come over, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
What was there to be cowardly about? He couldn't chicken out!
Moreover...
It was the perfect chance to use Lin Xiaoyou to verify his theory.
Regarding...
His theory about that dream.
He still didn't quite dare... to directly discuss the events of the last loop with Liguang.
Call him timid, call him a coward.
He just didn't dare.
If Liguang had forgotten those dreams, especially the dream of those eighty-two loops...
Then he really would break down on the spot.
No joke.
He really would break down.
That was Liguang... using eighty-two years of memories in exchange for the dream of walking side by side with him!
That looping dream absolutely, absolutely...
Could not have any mishaps!
But if it was Lin Xiaoyou, he could hint at Liguang to leave, and then have a good discussion with Lin Xiaoyou about that dream...
To test the bottom line of the world's rules!
He felt it shouldn't be a big problem.
Lin Xiaoyou probably wouldn't forget, he just needed to verify it.
Besides, even if something went wrong, it didn't matter.
The one forgetting would be Lin Xiaoyou, not Liguang.
She should even be thanking me.
I helped her forget a nightmare of working the early shift eighty-two times in a row!
Fang Qi glanced at the phone screen again, thought for a moment...
And typed out a line:
"Sure, is it just you?"
Send.
An almost instant reply.
[Lin Xiaoyou: Of course it's just me, Senior. Who else could it be!]
[Lin Xiaoyou: Why do you ask, Senior? Do you want to see someone else? (Cat Question Mark.JPG)]
Fang Qi raised an eyebrow.
Oh...
This time, she wants to come alone again?
That works too!
[Fang Qi: Okay, come over now. Liguang and I are both at home.]
Another instant reply.
[Lin Xiaoyou: Yay, I'll be right there!]
[Lin Xiaoyou: By the way, let me tell you a little secret, Senior. Actually... I'm already on my way~]
[Lin Xiaoyou: If you really hadn't let me come, I would have had to wait in the cafe downstairs until ten o'clock... Thank goodness you didn't reject me!]
[Lin Xiaoyou: Wait for me! Be right there!]
Fang Qi stared at the phone screen.
The replies were basically the same as the loop before last.
Was Lin Xiaoyou right now... really still a sweet and naive girl?
Suddenly, the silver-haired girl moved.
Liguang pushed herself up from Fang Qi's embrace, her fluffy white pajamas brushing against his arm as she stood in front of him.
She lowered her head, hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, and gave a slight bow.
"Master, Liguang will go change clothes right now."
Her voice was still soft, but it seemed to hold a bit of...
Stubbornness and defiance?
Before Fang Qi could speak, she had already turned around and walked briskly towards her own small room.
Entered, closed the door...
With a click.
Fang Qi looked at the tightly shut door and blinked.
Hmm?
Why did it feel like his wife was a bit...
Oh...
He seemed to understand.
The last loop, for Liguang, was absolutely a crushing defeat.
So in this loop, she was getting serious!
Changing clothes was her way of preparing for battle. She was going to face off against Lin Xiaoyou head-on!
The corners of Fang Qi's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
My wife is so cute!
In the living room, it was so quiet that only the faint rustling sounds coming from Liguang's room could be heard.
...
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Ding dong—"
She's here!
Just as Fang Qi was about to get up to open the door, the door to Liguang's room was pushed open at the same time.
The silver-haired girl walked out.
Fang Qi's gaze fell upon her, his eyelids twitching slightly.
A black and white maid outfit.
A lace apron, a cut-out headband, exactly the same as the outfit from the last loop.
Beautiful!
It seemed she wanted to win back what she lost in the last loop while wearing the same battle outfit?
It didn't matter, wifey, whether you win or not...
But...
It really did look good!
The silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly, giving him a meek and obedient smile.
Then, stepping in her clean black leather shoes, she walked elegantly to the door...
And reached out to open it.
"Miss Lin, welcome."
Outside the door, the round-faced girl was holding her hand up, about to press the doorbell again.
Pink jacket, denim miniskirt, white canvas shoes, and a ponytail swaying behind her head.
She was still in the same clothes, the same outfit, with no changes.
Seeing the door open, Lin Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then...
Her almond eyes instantly went completely round!
"Wow—!"
Lin Xiaoyou's exclamation echoed in the hallway!
"A maid outfit! It's actually a maid outfit!"
Fang Qi: "?"
Miss Genius, are you for real...?
He saw her cover her mouth with one hand, her almond eyes sparkling as she looked Liguang up and down, her whole body leaning forward!
"Oh my god! Oh my god!"
"Liguang, you look way too good in a maid outfit! Is... is this what Senior made you wear?"
As she spoke, she peeked inside the house!
Seeing Fang Qi on the sofa, her almond eyes curved into crescents!
"Senior, Senior!"
She kept waving at Fang Qi...
Looking incredibly happy!
Fang Qi stood up immediately and smiled kindly:
"Alright Xiaoyou, don't just stand outside the door, come on in."
He had been observing her.
Her expressions, tone, movements...
They were exactly the same as the sweet and silly Lin Xiaoyou in his memory.
That excitement of not being able to look away from cute things, the undisguised shouting, the natural innocence on her small round face...
She seemed... truly not to be the girl in the metal room from the last loop.
That lunatic with a purplish-red face and shortness of breath, who was still smiling and saying, "Dying together with Senior isn't so bad."
So, had she really not recovered her memories yet?
Hmm...
I really kind of want to bully her a little.
But it also feels... a bit shameful...
Liguang turned sideways slightly, making a please come in gesture with a meek smile on her lips:
"Miss Lin, please come in."
The scarlet in her crimson eyes was flashing without any concealment!
Fang Qi noticed it too.
At this moment, Liguang was no longer deliberately holding back.
In the past, whenever Lin Xiaoyou came over, Liguang would suppress the glow of her crimson eyes to the lowest level, pretending to be just an ordinary AI companion.
But today...
She blatantly let that scarlet light shine!
—I'm not pretending anymore, and neither should you!
A declaration of war against Lin Xiaoyou!
But Lin Xiaoyou seemed completely oblivious.
She skipped right through the door!
While changing into slippers, she kept chattering:
"Senior, Senior, you really know how to play! Actually having Liguang wear a maid outfit!"
"How come I didn't know Senior had this kind of hobby before! But it really looks so good, Liguang truly looks good in anything!"
She finished changing her slippers, stood up straight, and swept her gaze around the living room.
Then she walked over very naturally and carelessly plopped herself down into the single sofa.
Her denim miniskirt rode up, revealing a large portion of her fair thighs.
Completely unaware, she crossed her legs, her slipper dangling and swaying from her toes.
Fang Qi looked at her grinning face.
After experiencing the last loop, he now couldn't help but feel...
There was something off about this cheerful grin!
High EQ, right?
Liguang bowed slightly, her hands folded over her lower abdomen, and said meekly:
"Miss Lin, Liguang will go brew some tea for you."
After saying that, she turned and walked toward the kitchen.
Lin Xiaoyou tilted her head, watching her walk into the kitchen, and then turned back around.
"Senior, Senior! We really..."
She rested her chin in her hands, propped her elbows on her knees, and continued to look at Fang Qi with a grin.
"Haven't seen each other in a long, long time!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
