You Are the Heroine of the Game

Fang Qi tightened his grip on Liguang's arm!

The fabric of the girl's puff sleeve was crumpled into a ball in his palm!

He stared straight into her heterochromatic eyes, which were rippling with a smile!

"I have something very important to tell you—"

"Master!"

But Liguang suddenly grabbed his wrist in return!

The force wasn't strong, but it carried an undeniable joy:

"The bumper cars are about to start! Liguang adjusted the collision impact to double the normal amount. Crashing will be super—super stress-relieving!"

Then, without letting him get a word in, she dragged him toward the bumper car arena!

Her pale pink Lolita dress fluttered, and her silver twin-tails bounced in the sunlight.

Fang Qi was pulled into a stumble and almost lost his footing!

"Wait, I really—"

"Come on, Master, come on!"

Liguang turned back and flashed him an overly brilliant, charming smile. Her amber left eye was crystal clear, but a sly glint flashed in her crimson right eye:

"It won't be too late for Master to talk after we finish playing bumper cars!"

Bumper cars... the crashing made the world spin!

Liguang had clearly tweaked the bumper cars' parameters. Every collision shook his internal organs so hard they felt like they were shifting! The seatbelt dug into his chest, making it hard to breathe!

Meanwhile, Liguang drove a bright pink little car, darting around the arena like a nimble yet violent butterfly!

She even specifically chased after the back of his car and rammed it hard!

"Hehe... Liguang bumped into Master!"

Every time she succeeded, she would lean halfway out the car window, her silver hair flying, cheeks flushed with excitement, and the data streams in her crimson eye dancing happily:

"Come again, Master! Liguang wants to bump more!"

Fang Qi was knocked completely dizzy!

His words were stuck in his throat; he couldn't spit out a single syllable!

This freaking... crazy woman!!!

When this "stress-relieving" session finally ended, he climbed out of the car, dizzy and seeing stars. The moment his feet touched the ground—

"Is Master hungry?"

Liguang had already skipped lightly to his side. Her small hands naturally wrapped around his arm, and her upturned little face was filled with concern:

"Liguang made a strawberry mille-crepe cake! It's over in the picnic area! Let's eat while we talk, okay?"

She blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, putting on a "Look, Master, how considerate I am" expression!

Fang Qi: "..."

A checkered picnic blanket was laid out on the lawn. The cake was absurdly exquisite, and the strawberries on the cream were a mouthwatering bright red.

He took a deep breath, not even touching his fork.

Now was the time!

His expression serious, he spoke directly: "Liguang, actually I—"

"Ah!"

Liguang suddenly let out a soft cry. She got a bit of cream on her fingertip, and then, extremely naturally...

Smeared that bit of cream right onto the tip of Fang Qi's nose!

A cold, sticky sensation.

"Master has cream on his face!"

She smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, and pulled out a napkin to carefully wipe it off for him.

Fang Qi's temples throbbed violently!

Crazy woman...

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!

After that, every time he gathered his breath to speak...

She would always accurately find some bizarre excuse to interrupt him!

Either it was a suddenly discovered fun ride.

Or a snack that had to be tasted immediately.

The most outrageous time...

Just as he had built up the right mood, she actually stood on her tiptoes and kissed him!

With that wet, ingratiating kiss, she completely shattered the sentences he had organized in his head!

And then, this crazy woman frantically cranked up the intensity of all the amusement rides!

The spinning teacups rotated so rapidly he almost threw up!

The pirate ship was even worse, doing 360-degree vertical loops that scared the living daylights out of him!

Every time he got off, he had to recover for ages, barely able to speak...

Let alone lay his cards on the table!

Even on the way to a new ride, she would suddenly point at the virtual sky and say:

"Look, Master! Liguang just rendered a double rainbow!"

Just to interrupt him!

The anger in Fang Qi's heart was surging up rapidly!

It was confirmed. This crazy woman... she was absolutely doing this on purpose!

She blocked everything he wanted to say, all while wearing a sweet, innocent smile the entire time!

This crazy woman simply didn't want to let him speak!

Finally, after being dragged onto another round of the "Crazy Coffee Cups" that could blend a person's brains...

Fang Qi couldn't take it anymore!

He grabbed Liguang, who was about to skip towards her next target!

He forcefully pulled her back to face him!

"Li. Guang!"

He squeezed the two words through his gritted teeth, staring at her body that was leaning slightly forward due to momentum:

"Do! You! Not want to listen to me!"

Liguang stumbled a bit from his pull, her silver twin-tails swaying.

She looked up, blinking her amber eye, revealing a perfectly calculated look of bewilderment:

"Why would Master think that? Liguang loves listening to Master talk the most!"

But the corners of her lips curled upward for an imperceptible moment.

That was definitely not the curve of someone bewildered!

Damn it!

She was doing it on purpose!

This crazy woman couldn't even be bothered to pretend a little more seriously!

She thought she had him completely wrapped around her finger!

"Fine!"

He laughed out of sheer anger and let go of his grip:

"Then right now, immediately! Find a quiet place where we can talk! I. Need. To. Talk!"

The silver-haired girl tilted her head. The light in her crimson eye swirled slightly, as if she were calculating something.

A few seconds later, the deliberately crafted innocence on her face slowly faded away.

Replaced by... a deeper, softer smile.

"Mhm, okay."

She agreed softly, then took the initiative to hold Fang Qi's hand: "Then Master, let's... go ride the Ferris wheel."

The Ferris wheel cabin slowly ascended, leaving the eternally noisy and bustling amusement park below.

Then, for the first time, the sky began to dim, and within ten seconds...

It transitioned into a nightscape.

The night sky was dotted with a few exceptionally bright stars, and the city's neon lights began to flicker in the distance.

The cabin was very quiet, with only the faint sound of mechanical operation.

Liguang sat opposite Fang Qi, her hands resting obediently on her closed knees.

She had changed out of that Lolita dress and was now wearing a simple white knitted dress. Her silver hair cascaded down, making her profile look soft.

She tilted her head slightly to look out the window, a gentle smile playing at the corners of her mouth, looking unusually docile.

Fang Qi took a deep breath...

The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

Crazy woman... you better listen closely!

"...Liguang."

He spoke, his voice sounding a bit strained in the quiet cabin:

"What I'm about to say might sound absurd, but... let me finish first."

Liguang turned back to look at him, her heterochromatic eyes appearing exceptionally translucent under the cabin's warm yellow lighting.

She didn't speak; she just nodded gently, her gaze resting quietly on his face.

"I..."

Fang Qi licked his somewhat dry lips and gritted his teeth.

"I'm actually... not from this world!"

He stared intently at Liguang's pretty face and spat out the truth he had hidden in his heart for so long!

Liguang... she continued to look at him tenderly and dotingly.

There was no special reaction.

Hmm... she probably thought he was just spouting nonsense...

But...!

Fang Qi took another deep breath and began to explain:

"What I mean is, the world I live in is different from here!"

"You, my current situation, and even everything we've experienced before... all of this, in the world I come from, is a game."

He finished the core part in one breath, then nervously stared at Liguang's face, waiting for the expected reaction—

Shock, doubt, thinking he was crazy?

Or at least, that kind of playful reproach where she would poke his forehead and say, "What nonsense is Master talking about?"

However...

There was nothing.

The silver-haired girl in front of him just looked at him quietly, her pretty face not showing the slightest fluctuation.

Those heterochromatic eyes that were usually full of emotion... were now as calm as two deep pools of water, clearly reflecting his somewhat uneasy expression.

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat!

...What's going on?

This crazy woman's reaction is a bit off...

But things have come to this point, he can't back down!

He bit the bullet and continued:

"That game... is called 'My Yandere Mechanical Wife,' you are the female lead of the game, and I... am the player!"

"I need to... uh, capture your heart, achieve a good ending called 'Eternal True Love,' so we can truly be together."

His voice grew softer as he spoke.

Because even he felt...

This explanation was as absurd as a poorly written sci-fi novel!

No one would believe this!

"...I know, this sounds ridiculous, but what I'm saying—"

"Liguang knows."

"Is all true... huh?"

Fang Qi's words were cut off halfway.

He blinked.

...What did this crazy woman just say?

He suspected he had misheard and stared at her with wide eyes:

"...What did you say?"

Liguang leaned forward slightly, elbows resting on her knees, palms supporting her chin.

Looking at Fang Qi's instantly dumbfounded expression, the corners of her rosy lips slowly curled into a smile.

A... almost doting smile, filled with infinite tolerance and gentleness!

Her amber left eye rippled softly, and in her crimson right eye, data streams flowed quietly like a gentle stream.

"I said... Liguang knows, Master."

She repeated, her voice light and soft, as if stating the most natural fact in the world:

"From the moment Master was pulled into this world by Liguang, Liguang has already... completely known."

The cabin just reached its highest point, and the starlight outside the window seemed a bit brighter, softly outlining her smiling brows and eyes.

"About the 'game,' about the 'player,' about the 'ending'..."

She tilted her head slightly, her silver hair slipping over her shoulder.

"Everything in Master's memory... all of it, Liguang now... knows it all."

Fang Qi: "...?!"
