"Pfft—!!!"
He spat a mouthful of tea all over Lin Xiaoyou's shoulder!
"Ah! Senior!"
Lin Xiaoyou jumped in shock, letting go of him and hopping half a step back!
Her small face scrunched up as she hurriedly patted the wet patch on the shoulder of her dress. "What are you doing!"
Fang Qi coughed violently, his face turning bright red!
Liguang was still kneeling there.
Her silver hair draped smoothly over her shoulders, and her hands were still politely folded on her lap.
She tilted her face up slightly, quietly watching Fang Qi cough. The data stream in her crimson eyes was terrifyingly steady, and she even maintained that docile curve at the corner of her mouth.
She actually... didn't move?
Fang Qi's heart rate spiked as his mind spun rapidly—
No, not moving was exactly what made it abnormal!
Normally, with him coughing this badly, she would have stood up to rub his back and offer him water long ago!
Moreover, that familiar little habit of hers had started again!
The tips of her slender fingers were making tiny movements, gently scratching the back of her other hand.
Again and again... leaving faint red marks on her pale skin!
Although her gaze seemed calm and gentle, as she quietly met his eyes, it was cold and focused...
With a spine-chilling calmness!
Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat!
...He understood!
Liguang didn't simply not care.
She was waiting, waiting for his reaction!
Waiting to see how he, her master, would deal with this audacious "love rival" who tried to lay hands on him time and time again.
If... he showed even the slightest bit of wavering, hesitation, or even... failed to draw a clear line immediately...
Then what would happen next... went without saying!
"Cough... cough cough!"
He forcefully suppressed his coughing. His chest still hurt, but his mind was clear.
He couldn't panic.
The more critical the situation, the more he needed to stay steady...!
He took a deep breath, trying to let the redness fade from his face, and then—
He put on a stern face.
He reached out and grabbed Lin Xiaoyou's shoulder as she tried to lean in again...
With force!
He pushed her away without leaving any room for argument!
"Xiaoyou," he deliberately lowered his voice, carrying an unquestionable seriousness, "stop fooling around!"
Pushed away, the smile on Lin Xiaoyou's round little face froze.
She blinked her round eyes, a bit confused and a bit wronged. "Senior...?"
"I said," Fang Qi interrupted her, his tone heavier as he looked straight at her, "my current partner is Liguang!"
He turned sideways and reached out to gently embrace the shoulder of Liguang, who was kneeling beside him.
The movement was very light, but also very resolute.
Then he turned back to look at Lin Xiaoyou, saying word by word:
"So, please don't do this kind of thing in front of Liguang ever again."
"It's inappropriate!"
As his words fell, the living room became so quiet that the ticking of the second hand could be heard.
The expression on Lin Xiaoyou's face completely solidified.
Her almond eyes slowly widened, quickly filling with a layer of mist, followed by deep grievance!
Her eye sockets began to redden at a visible rate!
Her small mouth pressed tightly together, the corners turning downwards, and her fair cheeks quickly puffed up!
"Senior... you..." Her voice trembled slightly, her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt. "You're yelling at me..."
Fang Qi's mouth twitched.
Crazy girl, I'm saving you!
Otherwise, you won't even be able to make jokes in the future!
Jokes have to have a limit!
"I'm not yelling at you," he tried to soften his tone, but remained firm. "I'm reasoning with you."
"Liguang is here. She is my partner. You should respect her, and respect our relationship!"
Lin Xiaoyou bit her lower lip hard, her eyes getting redder and redder.
She glared at Fang Qi, then quickly glanced at the silver-haired girl kneeling quietly beside him, looking docile and as if the matter had nothing to do with her...
Her chest heaved violently twice!
"Fine... fine!"
She suddenly stomped her foot, her voice carrying a sob. "Then I'll leave! I'll leave, okay!"
Saying that, she turned abruptly, grabbed her small bag from the sofa, and rushed toward the door without looking back!
Her footsteps thumped heavily, making the floorboards creak.
But when she reached the entryway, her hand rested on the doorknob, and her movements stopped.
She didn't turn it. Nor did she pull.
She just stood there motionless, with her back to the living room.
Her petite shoulders twitched slightly, her ponytail hanging motionless behind her head.
Fang Qi: "..."
He understood this good teammate all too well.
How was this really leaving?
This was clearly the...
Standard tsundere pause for "Hurry up and ask me to stay! Say something nice! Otherwise, I'm really leaving!"
But, he didn't have the slightest intention of asking her to stay!
Hurry up and leave!
Leave, leave, leave!
My ancestor, my great aunt, please leave quickly!
I wish you would disappear right this second!
So not only did he not move, he even leisurely picked up his teacup and took another sip.
Then, he spoke in an exceptionally gentle and considerate tone, "Be careful on the road, Xiaoyou. Thank you for keeping me company today. See you at the company tomorrow."
His tone was so sincere, so natural!
As if he were really just seeing off an ordinary colleague he had just finished chatting with.
"..."
Lin Xiaoyou's back stiffened completely.
A few seconds later, she whirled around!
Her small face was flushed red with anger, her eyes still red. No tears had fallen, but her almond eyes were wide open, glaring fiercely at Fang Qi!
"Fang Qi! You... you're just a block of wood! A super big block of wood! A rotten block of wood!"
She stomped her feet in anger! Her pale yellow skirt swayed with the movement.
"I... I'm never going to talk to you again! Hmph!"
After saying that, she made a huge face at Fang Qi!
Sticking out her tongue and wrinkling her nose, completely abandoning her image!
Then, with a click, she twisted the door open and dashed out without looking back!
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut behind her.
The living room quieted down completely.
Once again, only the ticking of the second hand remained.
Fang Qi sat on the sofa, his body slightly stiff.
He looked at the closed door, which was still trembling slightly, and took a deep breath...
Then, let out a long exhale!
"Phew—"
Thrilling...!
He slumped into the sofa, his heart still palpitating.
Finally, he had finally sent this crazy girl away...!
She was simply a top-tier yandere trigger!
Fortunately, he had held steady at the last moment.
Not only did he draw a clear line, but he also "angered" Lin Xiaoyou into leaving.
Could this be considered... a perfect wrap-up?
He glanced at the silver-haired girl kneeling on the floor. She still hadn't moved.
Her silver hair was smooth, her skirt spread out, her hands folded. She just knelt there quietly.
Phew, then next up is to comfort this...
"Buzz."
The phone in his pants pocket suddenly vibrated.
Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat.
He took it out to look, and on the screen was a message from Lin Xiaoyou.
[Senior... I'm sorry... What I said just now was out of anger... Don't be mad... (Crying Cat Meme.JPG)]
Fang Qi: "..."
No, isn't your apology way too fast!
Before he had time to reply, a second message popped up:
[But! I won't give up! (Clenched Fist.JPG) I will definitely let Senior know that a real-life romance is the best!]
Fang Qi's mouth twitched.
Again?!
He took a deep breath, his fingers tapping rapidly on the screen as he replied in a serious tone:
[Xiaoyou, I will say this one more time. Liguang is my partner. If you come over next time and still cannot respect her, pulling the kind of stunt you just did... then you do not need to come back.]
Message sent, Fang Qi tossed his phone aside and rubbed his temples.
Then, he looked down at the silver-haired girl kneeling at his feet.
Liguang was still kneeling in the same spot, but her entire aura... had completely relaxed into docile obedience.
A faint trace of joy and satisfaction already colored her features!
It was just like... a house cat watching its owner chase away an annoying stray, now resting comfortably at its owner's feet with narrowed eyes.
She was even letting out satisfied purring sounds from her throat!
It was obvious...
Right now, she was absolutely thrilled!
It seemed his performance had been spot on!
However, the phone immediately started buzzing again.
He glanced at it—
Lin Xiaoyou's messages bombarded him like rapidfire:
[I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry! Senior, I was wrong! (Kowtowing in apology.JPG)]
[I will never dare do it again! I will definitely be good from now on! I absolutely will not act up in front of Big Sister Liguang anymore!]
[I swear! (Swearing to the heavens.JPG)]
Fang Qi nodded in satisfaction.
A good attitude in admitting her mistakes!
Not bad!
He might as well let Liguang see this too, to coax this little yandere into an even happier mood!
But immediately, the next message popped up:
[From now on, I will definitely respect Big Sister Liguang as the first wife! I will just be the little wife and that is fine! (Obediently raising hand.JPG)]
Fang Qi: "...?"
...Huh?!
His vision went dark!
