Keep going!
He took a light breath and reached out his hand...
His palm landed on the silver-haired girl's soft crown, giving it a gentle rub.
His movements were very gentle, and his eyes were deliberately soft and earnest.
"So, Liguang..."
His voice was incredibly soft, trying to soothe Liguang, "Don't listen to her nonsense. What threshold..."
He gazed affectionately into Liguang's beautiful heterochromatic eyes...
...It was time for a surprise attack!
Gritting his teeth, he spoke with an incredibly firm yet gentle tone:
"Even if you really awaken, so what?"
"Whether you awaken or not, you are still my Liguang!"
After saying this, he held his breath!
This was a massive gamble...!
And the little head beneath his palm... immediately stiffened!
The silver-haired girl's gaze went blank for a moment.
Her amber eye widened slightly, losing focus. The data stream in her crimson eye also froze instantly.
Her small mouth parted slightly for a few seconds, and then...
The data stream in her crimson eye began to accelerate and flash!
That flawless, submissive smile on her face... instantly broke!
The originally standard curve of her smile began to curl upward uncontrollably, even carrying a hint of sweetness that bordered on twisted!
Her delicate nose twitched slightly, a touching blush began to spread across her pale cheeks, and her little star earrings trembled at a high frequency!
She seemed to want to say something, parting her red lips.
"Wu...!" A very, very soft whimper.
Then she quickly lowered her head, trying to use her falling silver hair to hide her out-of-control expression, but those slender hands gripping her skirt tightly... completely exposed her inner feelings!
"Mas... Master..."
Her voice was finally squeezed out of her throat, carrying a noticeable tremor...
As well as an effort to suppress her disbelief and immense joy!
"Do you... do you really... think so?"
It seemed that this sentence... although a bit radical, had an excellent effect!
Fang Qi took a light breath, and then...
"Of course."
He rubbed the top of the silver-haired girl's head, his tone carrying a matter-of-fact doting:
Then he issued a soul-searching question: "Or is it that Liguang won't love me anymore once she awakens? Will you leave me?"
Liguang instantly raised her head, her heterochromatic eyes shockingly bright:
"No! Never!"
She denied it eagerly, her amber eye wet, and the data in her crimson eye surged like a wild tide!
"Liguang loves Master the most! More than anything! I will never leave Master!"
"Awakening... awakening will only make Liguang love Master more! Make me want to be with Master even more!"
She spoke very fast, her voice slightly shrill from excitement, and it even carried the unique static of an electric current!
She even unconsciously shuffled forward a step on her knees, tilting her small face up slightly, her expression as devout as if she were taking an oath: "Forever, together forever!"
Fang Qi: "..."
There was really no need to swear an oath, he believed those words entirely!
He had even been together with Liguang "forever" several times already!
...His feelings were complicated.
"...Of course I know."
The corners of his mouth forced a smile: "So, don't care about what that An Lian said. Just be yourself, just be my Liguang!"
"Mn... Mn!"
Liguang's voice softened, carrying a thick nasal tone and a choke.
"Master... Master is the best...!"
She gently pressed her cheek against the back of Fang Qi's hand that was rubbing her hair, nuzzling it dependently, like a small beast that had finally received affirmation and indulgence, her whole body radiating an aura of happiness that was about to melt!
The living room quieted down, leaving only Liguang's soft, contented whimpering breaths.
The taut string in Fang Qi's heart loosened just a little bit.
Judging by her reaction, it seemed he had... passed the test?
Moreover, it seemed he hadn't experienced any overly terrifying events?
How strange...
Liguang is really so well-behaved today?
...Forget it, it's not a big problem!
As long as he passed the test!
Drink some water to calm down.
He relaxed slightly, picking up his teacup and bringing it to his lips.
But at the exact moment his lips were about to touch the rim of the cup...
A slender, fair hand suddenly reached over from the side.
And then...
Gently but irresistibly, it grasped his wrist holding the teacup, stopping his motion to drink the tea.
Fang Qi had already opened his mouth, but was suddenly stopped. He turned his head in astonishment to look at Liguang.
The silver-haired girl had raised her head at some point and was looking at him with a beaming smile.
On her exquisite small face, the flush of excitement still lingered, and the moisture at the corners of her eyes had not dried, but her smile remained as sweet as ever.
It was even a bit gentler than before.
"Master," she spoke softly, her voice soft and sweet, even carrying a hint of coquettishness, "this cup of tea... seems to have gotten a bit cold."
Fang Qi: "...?"
He subconsciously glanced at the teacup in his hand, and then looked at the smiling silver-haired girl in front of him.
...Wasn't this the tea she had just brewed?
The temperature was just right now, wasn't it?
Liguang, however, had already gently pried his fingers open and softly taken the teacup away.
Her movements were elegant and natural, her fingertips brushing past his fingers as if by accident.
"Liguang will go get you a hot cup."
She stood up, holding that "cold" cup of tea, gave him a beautiful smile, and then turned to walk gracefully toward the kitchen.
Her steps were light, every step carrying the little joy of having just been coaxed into happiness.
Fang Qi, however, froze on the sofa, watching her light blue skirt disappear behind the kitchen door.
A few seconds later...
He shuddered violently!
"...Holy shit!!!"
Every hair on his body stood on end instantly!
He suddenly realized!
Cold?
Cold my ass!
That cup of tea... had a problem!!
That was a cup of sleeping black tea!!
He had almost drunk it!!
If... if his performance just now had a single flaw, if he hadn't thrown away the USB drive...
If he hadn't said that last sentence, "Whether you awaken or not, you are still my Liguang"...
Then he probably would have already picked up that cup of tea, drank it, and then...
His back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
He seemed to see a different timeline where, with blurred consciousness and weak limbs, he was paralyzed on the sofa...
And Liguang was squatting in front of him, holding his face, her smile sweet yet sick:
"Master, this way... you can never go see that Miss Commissioner again, okay? Ah, is it these two legs of Master's... that insisted on running to see Miss Commissioner...? Hehe, then let's..."
"Hiss—"
He gasped!
The delayed fear was like ice water pouring over his head, chilling him thoroughly from head to toe!
This crazy woman... she was acting him from beginning to end!
That silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed girl at the door of the cafe was indeed her!
And she just now... was already on the final edge of turning dark! She had even prepared the final tea for him!
Her obedient appearance was all to deceive him into drinking that cup of tea!
As soon as he drank it... she would reveal a twisted smile on the spot!
Fang Qi slumped into the sofa, his hands and feet ice-cold.
His lips were even a bit pale!
Damn...
This... this was too close...
Just a little bit more, one wrong step... and it would be eternal damnation!
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness he was quick-witted! Fast reflexes! Acting skills on point!
A trembling hand wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just then, the kitchen door opened again.
Liguang walked out carrying a fresh cup of tea, steam curling upwards from it.
With that same gentle and sweet smile still hanging on her face, she walked over to Fang Qi with light steps and gently placed the hot tea on the coffee table in front of him.
"Master, please enjoy."
She said softly, then knelt back down on the carpet by his feet. With her hands folded, she tilted her head up to look at him.
Her heterochromatic eyes rippled with light, now filled with genuine reliance and satisfaction.
It was as if that nerve-wracking tea-swapping scene from just moments ago... had never happened.
Fang Qi looked at the steaming cup of tea in front of him, and then at Liguang's flawless smiling face...
He took a deep breath, reached out, and picked up the teacup.
This time...
It should be fine, right?
He took a careful sip.
The temperature was 52 degrees. Just right.
The warm liquid slid down his throat, but it could do nothing to warm the lingering chill of fear in his heart!
This crazy woman was still too terrifying...
Still, he should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight, right...
Suddenly, Liguang, who was kneeling at his feet, let out a soft "Ah."
It sounded as if... she had just remembered some trivial little thing.
Then she gracefully stood up and, with brisk steps, walked over to the trash can in the corner!
Fang Qi's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly.
He watched as the silver-haired girl bent down slightly, her slender fingers accurately plucking out from a pile of scrap paper... the metal USB drive he had just thrown in!
Fang Qi: "???"
Holding the USB drive, Liguang gently brushed the dust off it with her fingertips. She then turned around, wearing that docile and proper smile, and walked back to Fang Qi step by step.
"Master," she spoke softly, her voice sweet and tender as she held the USB drive up to Fang Qi's eyes. "Let's keep this after all."
Fang Qi's brain crashed.
He looked at the USB drive, then at Liguang's smiling face. His mouth opened, but no sound came out.
...What was going on?
She was just bubbling with joy because he threw the USB drive away, so how could she, in the blink of an eye...
Pick it right back up?!
Liguang seemed to notice his confusion. She tilted her head slightly, her silver hair slipping down and her little star accessories swaying.
Her smile deepened, and an elusive gleam flashed in her eyes, though her tone grew even softer and more submissive:
"Agent An Lian is a professional. Her suggestion might actually make sense."
"Liguang will cooperate well with Master and do a good job being monitored."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to pull Fang Qi's other free hand over and gently placed the cold USB drive into his palm.
She even considerately helped him curl his fingers closed around it!
"Master will feel more at ease if he checks Liguang's data every day, right?"
Her slightly cool fingertips traced across his palm, bringing a faint, tingling sensation.
Her amber eye was crystal clear, and the data stream in her crimson eye was steady and gentle. There was absolutely nothing unusual to be seen.
It was as if... she really was just a perfect, submissive AI companion who wholeheartedly thought only of her master.
Gripping the recovered USB drive, Fang Qi was completely dumbfounded.
This crazy woman...
What exactly was she trying to do?!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

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."
