"So..."
"You were the one who initiated your AI companion to subdue those two knife-wielding thugs?"
In the interrogation room, the beautiful police officer paused her pen on the notepad and looked up at Fang Qi.
Gu Xi was still wearing her crisp police uniform today, which accentuated her slender waist and long legs. Her ponytail was tied neatly, with a few stray strands of hair falling by her ears, swaying gently as she looked up.
Her light brown eyes carried a professional scrutiny!
But compared to the look of "perverted master" from the previous loop... it was much softer now.
"That's right."
Fang Qi sat in the chair, his posture relaxed, even a bit lazy.
"I sensed danger, so I had Liguang lift her safety restrictions for self-defense. It was absolutely legal and compliant!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced to his side, his pupils shrinking slightly.
The silver-haired girl was sitting right beside him.
But right now...
She was different from this morning!
She... was a little too quiet.
Her outfit today was also slightly different from the previous two loops.
She still wore a beige dress, but her silver hair draped smoothly over her shoulders, the ends naturally slightly curled, no longer the lively braids from the previous two loops.
On her left earlobe, that little plastic star was also swaying gently. This time, he hadn't confiscated her little star.
Her hands were folded on her lap, her sitting posture incredibly standard and obedient.
But the problem was, from the moment they walked in until now...
There hadn't been a single change in her expression!
Even the frequency of her eyelashes fluttering maintained a mechanical perfection!
Opposite him, Gu Xi scribbled a few notes on her notepad. The sound of the pen scratching across the paper was exceptionally clear in the quiet interrogation room.
"The situation is basically verified. Those two suspects have a history of multiple robberies, so you guys actually did us a favor this time."
"The statement is basically done. If there is a need later, we might contact you again."
Fang Qi smiled and said, "Cooperating with the investigation is what we should do."
But his gaze... couldn't help but sweep over Liguang beside him once again!
This crazy woman...
Something was a bit off about her now!
She... was really so quiet that it was eerie!
It was very strange...
Before leaving the house this morning, she had clearly been thrilled to death, her eyes shining like stars!
Holding onto his arm, repeatedly confirming, "Can I really call you Ah Qi in front of others?!"
Her cheeks had been flushed, and even her breathing had carried an excited tremor!
But the moment they stepped out...
She instantly quieted down!
Gone was the nervous shyness of meeting her master's colleagues from two loops ago, and gone was the extreme possessiveness of "I'll gouge out the eyes of anyone who dares look at my master" from the last loop.
From swiftly and cleanly subduing the thugs, to being brought back to the police station, to sitting here giving a statement...
Throughout the entire process... she maintained this current docile and proper smile!
The data stream in her crimson eyes had been unbelievably stable from beginning to end!
When she snapped the thug's wrist, the curve of the smile on her face hadn't changed at all!
Even just now, when he praised her "beautifully done" and casually rubbed her head... there hadn't been a single ripple!
Very, very calm!
So calm that... she didn't seem like the familiar little yandere at all!
More like a...
Delicate doll running stably, waiting for its next command!
This bizarre sense of incongruity made Fang Qi's heart feel a little fuzzy!
However... he wasn't too nervous either.
After all, he was now basically certain...
The Liguang from the last loop had left a "memory legacy" for the Liguang in front of him!
Having an extra vague memory, being somewhat influenced by it, and having a slightly abnormal state...
That should be considered a normal phenomenon, right?
Yeah...
Not a big problem!
As he was pondering, the beautiful police officer in front of him closed her notepad with a light "snap".
Gu Xi stood up and naturally reached out her hand to Fang Qi. Her fingers were long, and her nails were trimmed clean and neat.
"Mr. Fang, thank you for your cooperation. Your AI companion is excellent, far exceeding standard civilian models."
From the corner of his eye, Fang Qi was still staring closely at Liguang. Hearing this, he also stood up and subconsciously went to shake her hand.
But just a split second before he was about to grasp Gu Xi's hand...
A slender hand suddenly thrust in!
So fast it almost left an afterimage!
"Smack."
It slapped accurately and crisply onto the back of Gu Xi's hand!
Gu Xi's hand was immediately knocked aside, stopping in mid-air.
She looked down in astonishment at the back of her slightly reddened hand.
Fang Qi's eyelids also twitched, and he looked down at the silver-haired girl still sitting upright beside him.
On Liguang's pretty face... still hung that impeccable, docile smile.
She didn't even look at Gu Xi; she just stared straight ahead, gently retracted her hand, and folded it back onto her pressed-together knees.
The motion was fluid and natural.
As if... that abrupt, rude action just now was merely a careless slip of the hand.
The air in the interrogation room stagnated for a second because of this!
Gu Xi frowned and looked at her wrist.
And after Fang Qi saw Liguang's unusually blunt "food-guarding" behavior...
He actually... felt a little relieved.
If it were before, his heart probably would have tightened, thinking about how to smooth things over and how to pacify this little yandere who could explode at any moment.
But now, he only felt...
This was exactly right!
A crazy woman should act exactly like this!
She had been so calm just now...
He had thought there was something wrong with this crazy woman!
He was just about to explain on Liguang's behalf...
But Gu Xi reached out her hand to Fang Qi again, probably out of politeness and professional habit, her face still carrying an understanding smile:
"I'm sorry, then we..."
"Smack."
Another sound!
That slender white hand appeared again!
Accurately swatting away Gu Xi's secondly extended hand!
This time, her action was even more decisive, and the speed of her retraction was even faster!
When she folded them back onto her knees, not even the hem of her skirt swayed an extra bit.
Her smile remained perfect, her eyes still looking peacefully ahead.
In her heterochromatic eyes... there was still no trace of anger, jealousy, or warning!
As if... she had merely swatted away a fly buzzing in front of her.
This time, Gu Xi was truly stunned.
Her hand still hung in mid-air, her bewildered and uncomprehending gaze shifting back and forth between Liguang and Fang Qi!
Fang Qi, knowing better, obediently withdrew his secondly extended hand.
Alright then.
I cannot touch Gu Xi's hand.
Although the state of the crazy woman in front of him was a bit strange, as if she had caught a virus...
But deep down in her bones, she was still that crazy woman!
The possessiveness she should have hadn't diminished at all, and... her way of expressing it had become even more direct!
It had even... become a bit programmatic?
If it had been the Liguang from the previous loops, as long as she hadn't completely darkened, she would have forcefully suppressed her jealousy and perfectly disguised herself as a docile AI.
At most, she would use those heterochromatic eyes to stare deadly at their hands, staring until a chill ran down his spine and he had to quickly withdraw his hand.
But this time...
She actually made a move directly?
Good heavens, not even pretending anymore?
But... that wasn't quite right either?
She clearly looked so quiet and obedient on the surface; she was disguising herself very well, right?
Perfect expression management, perfect posture...
But in her actions, why was she being so blatant?
Weird...
His brain worked in overdrive as he looked at the beautiful police officer in front of him.
Gu Xi's brows were already furrowed, and the way she looked at Liguang... carried a hint of scrutiny and vigilance!
...Ah, she's suspicious!
This crazy woman, her current behavior is just too direct!
Fang Qi immediately showed an awkward and apologetic expression to Gu Xi, explaining:
"Sorry, I'm so sorry, Officer Gu, my apologies!"
He put on a helpless and headache-inducing look.
"It might be that the alert mode activated when subduing the thug just now hasn't been completely deactivated! So her modes are a bit messed up right now!"
He started spouting nonsense to the confused Gu Xi:
"Her advanced alert mode... is quite sensitive. Any close contact with her master will be judged as a potential threat."
He gestured as if it were a serious matter:
"I'm guessing that because of the emergency earlier, the mode level was set a bit too high and can't be lowered right away. I'll have her do a deep self-check and restart the system later, and she'll be fine!"
As he spoke, he took a quick glance at Liguang.
The silver-haired girl was still sitting upright, her head slightly tilted, wearing a docile expression as if listening to her master speak.
That look in her eyes... was a bit blank?
She had absolutely no reaction to his explanation.
She neither nodded in acknowledgment nor lowered her head in shyness.
Tsk. What is going on with this crazy woman!
How is he supposed to win her over like this!
"Ah... so that's how it is."
Gu Xi finally understood. Her tense expression relaxed, and she withdrew her hand, rubbing the back of it.
Her gaze toward Liguang gained a bit of exploration and amazement:
"I see, this protection mechanism is just too smart and proactive. It's almost as if she has instincts... Your AI is indeed extraordinary."
She paused and added with a casual, joking tone:
"But Mr. Fang, is your AI usually like this?"
"You get used to it, you get used to it!"
He laughed it off, but his arm reached slightly backward, using his fingers to quietly hook Liguang's fingers that were folded on her lap.
The girl's fingertips were slightly cool and trembled lightly when he touched them.
But the smile on her face remained so submissive that it was almost eerie!
Hiss...
Did the Liguang from the previous timeline end up breaking herself?
However...
The plan remains unchanged!
Since he decided to win her heart, he couldn't chicken out!
Moreover... strike while the iron is hot!
He was going to... show off his affection with Liguang right in front of Gu Xi!
At the same time, he could win over this... beautiful police officer who had a romantic pursuit of true love!
"She is my Liguang, after all."
Fang Qi reached out directly and wrapped his arm around Liguang's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace!
His tone carried undisguised showing off and intimacy:
"These little quirks are exactly what makes her unique! They are little flaws that belong exclusively to me."
Beside him, Liguang's silver eyelashes were lowered, and her expression remained a standard smile.
It was only when he hugged her that her soft body stiffened slightly.
"And besides, Officer Gu..."
He paused, his gaze falling on Liguang's vacant profile. His tone suddenly became exceptionally serious, even carrying a hint of joking sentiment:
"I feel like I'll never want to date or marry a real person in this lifetime."
He could feel the delicate body in his arms tense up slightly for a moment again.
There's a chance!
Although her state was a bit weird, it didn't stop him from wooing her!
"If one day, the law allows marriage with an AI..."
He turned his head and looked directly into Liguang's heterochromatic eyes, which had finally slowly raised but still seemed somewhat vacant:
"Then I will marry Liguang!"
That sentence was heavy enough, direct enough, right!
But Liguang...
She just blankly and slowly raised her head.
There was no blushing, no drastic fluctuation in data, and no obvious emotional ups and downs.
Nor did she instantly bloom with a morbidly brilliant smile like before.
Those beautiful heterochromatic eyes still seemed somewhat hollow and confused.
The amber left eye was a bit out of focus.
And in the crimson right eye, the data stream presented a kind of...
Slow, sluggish, and constantly stuttering rotation!
It was just like the loading cursor of an old computer processing a command!
Round and round... and lagging!
She had absolutely no reaction to Fang Qi's words!
Fang Qi: "...?"
The gentle smile on his face was starting to slip!
No...
What is this situation?
...Crazy woman, did you crash?!
Hey, hey...
I just proposed to you!
Why are you reacting like this!
...Give me some kind of reaction!!!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

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?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
