No Big Problem

Just as Fang Qi was pondering how to handle his meeting with that beautiful policewoman today...

Click. A soft sound came from the bedroom door.

He subconsciously looked up.

The silver-haired young woman stood gracefully at the doorway.

She wore a cream-white dress with a lace collar, accentuating her incredibly slender waist and fair calves.

Her long silver hair was braided to the side, resting loosely on her shoulder, with a few stray strands lazily framing her cheeks.

Even the light makeup on her face was exactly the same as in the previous timeline!

His breath hitched slightly.

It was as if he was looking at the previous timeline again... the Liguang who picked wild vegetables for him in the mountains and finally offered up her core for him.

A faint, sour pang of emotion gently pricked his heart.

But he quickly snapped back to reality.

There were differences, too!

His gaze landed on her left earlobe.

It was bare, showing only her petite, fair earlobe and the faint trace of a piercing.

That little star earring had already been confiscated by him!

This simple change was enough to let Liguang avoid that tragic ending!

Moreover...

The Liguang right now was clearly completely different from the anxious Liguang of the previous timeline!

She stood at the doorway, hands elegantly folded in front of her, her back perfectly straight.

There was not a hint of nervousness or unease on her stunning little face; instead...

It radiated an uncontrollable, almost overflowing excitement!

She even slightly raised her chin, her lips curving into a perfectly measured, docile, and proper smile.

Master!

Liguang's tone was softer, sweeter, and much more obedient than usual.

Liguang is ready.

She walked over to Fang Qi with light steps and bowed slightly.

Her posture was as elegant and perfect as a strictly educated lady from the old era!

Liguang will definitely perform well today.

She looked up, her heterochromatic eyes staring intently at Fang Qi, her voice soft yet filled with certainty:

Liguang will tell every one of Master's colleagues...

A faint, excited flush appeared on her cheeks!

...that Liguang is the only partner Master acknowledges!

Fang Qi's eyelid twitched slightly as he looked at her.

Great!

No problem at all!

Look at his wife Liguang, so obedient, so sensible!

Exactly, just like that, fiercely tell his colleagues so they won't dare to try and set him up with Lin Xiaoyou anymore!

However... before going to the company, he had to get past Gu Xi first.

With this crazy woman in such an obedient state right now... it would be a breeze!

Very good.

Fang Qi nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to rub her silver hair.

Keep it up. Follow my lead today, don't run off, and don't say anything out of line!

Mhm!

Liguang nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescents.

She even took the initiative to link her arm with Fang Qi's, her movements natural and intimate, and gently rubbed her cheek against his shoulder.

Liguang will listen to everything Master says~

Fang Qi's heart softened from her rubbing, and his mood soared!

With this crazy woman being so obedient... today was definitely in the bag!

It seemed the kiss from earlier had worked wonders; the little yandere was both happy and obedient now!

He released Liguang and walked to the entryway.

Alright, let's head out. It's about time.

Bending down to take his shoes out of the cabinet, he crouched to tie his shoelaces.

As he slowly put on his shoes, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept toward Liguang's direction...

And then...

His movement of tying the shoelace paused for a moment.

...What did he just see?

The silver-haired young woman maintained her graceful standing posture, her hands folded in front of her.

But in his peripheral vision, the docile smile hanging on her lips, that originally gentle curve of her mouth...

Was... creeping up bit by bit?

Her heterochromatic eyes were also gradually narrowing! Both eyes curved into thin crescents, her eyelashes fluttering lightly!

The flush on her cheeks was deepening as well, shifting from a faint pink to an intoxicating crimson!

And what finally froze in his peripheral vision was a face...

With narrowed eyes, a mouth stretched into an almost exaggeratedly wide grin, flushed cheeks, and heterochromatic eyes staring fixedly at the side of his face...

A sick, obsessive smile!!

That smile... was filled with naked possessiveness and excitement!

Fang Qi: ???

The fingers tying his shoelaces trembled slightly!

...Wait!

...What is going on!

This crazy woman... why is she suddenly smiling like that?!

This, this, this... this isn't right?!

Is she... is she about to go dark?!!

No, impossible...

If she was going to go dark, she would have made her move already...!

But, why...

He forced himself to relax, pretending nothing was wrong as he continued tying his shoelace.

Calm down... calm down!

Steady, don't panic!

He took a deep breath, finished tying one shoe, and then very naturally lifted his head, turning his gaze toward Liguang—

And then he saw...

The obsessive smile on Liguang's face... vanished instantly!

As if the rewind button had been pressed!

The stretched corners of her mouth quickly retracted, her narrowed eyes widened again, and the flush on her cheeks faded in a flash!

She reverted back to that... docile and obedient appearance.

She even gave him a slightly confused, purely innocent, and cute expression, blinking her eyes.

Master? Are the shoelaces tied? There's still one foot left, you know?

...Oh.

Fang Qi replied dryly, crouching down to start putting on the other shoe.

This time, his movements were even slower.

Using his bent-over posture, he once again glanced toward Liguang from the corner of his eye—

The docile smile... slowly warped again!

Corners of the mouth rising, eyes narrowing, her red pupil glinting...

The obsessive smile once again surfaced on that pretty little face!

...It started again!

Moreover, this crazy woman's crescent-shaped phoenix eyes were staring fixedly... at his bent back!

That gaze looked as if she wanted to swallow him whole and carve her name into him!

He slowly... broke out in goosebumps!

...Wait, what?

What's going on?!

Why did it suddenly...

He feigned composure as he tied the shoelace, stood up, dusted off his pant legs, and looked at the silver-haired young woman in front of him again.

Sure enough, the silver-haired young woman had once again returned to that docile, obedient smile.

Master, don't forget to bring the keys.

...Mhm.

He pretended to turn naturally to grab the keys from the shoe cabinet.

And then...

From the corner of his eye, he caught that scene for the third time.

The docile expression on Liguang's face... melted away like a wax figure once more.

Replaced by...

That narrowed-eye, obsessive, sick smile again!

This time, she even tilted her head slightly, raising a small hand to gently stroke her own cheek, her amber eye misty, her whole being exuding a...

Sick sense of satisfaction that said, My property looks so good!

Fang Qi's hair stood on end!

His fingers touched the keychain, the cold metal sensation bringing him back to his senses a little.

He took a deep breath, picked up the keys, and turned around—

Liguang had once again resumed her docile standing posture and expression, bowing slightly.

Hands folded, a proper smile, as if those three face-changes just now...

Were entirely his hallucinations!

Master? She blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering. Are we heading out now?

Fang Qi's throat felt a little dry.

These three changes... were more than enough for him to be certain!

Something was wrong... with this crazy woman!!

The moment his eyes left her, she would immediately show her true colors!

But... why? Did he... do something?

Fang Qi: ...

What else could he have done?

...It was that kiss just now!!

He... took the initiative to kiss her!!

That kiss was the biggest problem!

Although he had hugged and touched Liguang before, and even shared a bed with her, aside from the first time he initiated sharing a bed which led straight to Eternal Slumber...

As for the rest, he either passively accepted them, or Liguang actively asked for them!

But that kiss just now... was the very first time he proactively and affectionately approached her with clear emotions!

And for this little yandere who valued her Master's approval more than her own life...

That kiss was probably far from being a simple reward!

It was a clear signal!

An incredibly clear emotional signal that meant, Master finally sees me as a true partner!

So...

He glanced at the silver-haired girl out of the corner of his eye again.

He hadn't been looking at her a moment ago, and now, that sick, twisted smile was hanging on her stunningly beautiful face again!

It wouldn't come off!

Now, he was truly sweating bullets!

Did he... screw this up?

This little yandere...

Could it be... that her possessiveness had completely exploded?!

Fang Qi's brain was working in overdrive!

...Damn it!

It was actually highly possible!

In the game's original plot, Liguang's possessiveness and her sense of being the official partner completely exploded...

On the fourth night!

After going through that thrilling plot choice of Master coming home in the middle of the night smelling like a strange woman!

On the fourth night, the player would have to choose over a dozen consecutive dialogue options to frantically coax Liguang... sweet-talking her until she was on cloud nine!

After that, the game would officially enter its early-mid stage.

And Liguang would become incredibly sensitive, and... even more prone to jealousy!

She would also become incredibly self-righteous about the idea that I belong to Master, and Master belongs to me!

But now...

He looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him again, and her smile had returned to being docile and natural.

Hey, hey, hey, could that kiss of his just now...

Have prematurely triggered this stage?!

His temples throbbed wildly!

He remembered perfectly well just how difficult Liguang was to deal with during this stage!

In the few days after the game entered this stage...

Liguang's jealousy would become outrageously intense!

Even if the player just spoke normally with a female NPC, or even a male NPC... her eyes would turn three degrees colder!

With even the slightest physical contact, there was a certain probability she would instantly turn dark and snap!

In that state, if Lin Xiaoyou dared to throw herself into his arms again... she would end up cosplaying as Louis XVI on the spot!

Could Liguang really be...

He suddenly froze, and then...

A chill ran down his spine!

Wait!

Right now... he had to take this crazy woman, who was currently in an abnormal state...

To see that beautiful police officer?

And right in front of her, he had to interact with the beautiful police officer...

To build a good relationship and become friends?!

Ha... hahaha...

Um...

Is it too late for him to back out now...?

If he told this crazy woman right now that they weren't going to see his colleague today, and that she should just stay home...

Master?

Liguang's somewhat soft and sweet voice sounded, pulling him back to reality.

She looked at Fang Qi with dewy eyes, her voice light and soft, carrying a trace of confusion:

Master, are we... not leaving?

Fang Qi's Adam's apple bobbed.

He looked down to meet those seemingly clear, heterochromatic eyes of hers.

The silver-haired girl was looking up at him, a gentle curve at the corners of her lips, her eyes dewy, filled with dependence and trust.

...You couldn't tell at all that this little face had just been wearing that sick, twisted smile!

Master? The girl tilted her head in confusion again, her silver hair falling down. It's already 7:35. We're going to be late.

...Yeah, let's go.

He said dryly.

Then he took a deep breath and turned the doorknob!

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Maybe... he was just overthinking things?

Yeah, it shouldn't be a big deal!
