Still His Crazy Woman or Not

The interrogation room fell silent.

The scene was so awkward that for a moment Fang Qi's toes curled hard enough to dig a three-bedroom apartment in the floor!

The echoes of his deeply affectionate marriage proposal still lingered in the air...

But the expected blushing, racing heartbeat, skyrocketing data streams, and overloading smoke... none of that happened!

The silver-haired girl merely tilted up her overly exquisite face, her heterochromatic eyes staring blankly.

She wasn't even... making eye contact with him!

Her gaze landed loosely somewhere around his chin, as if she completely failed to comprehend the meaning of what he had just said!

The affectionate curve of Fang Qi's lips...

Was now stuck in a dilemma, unable to stay up or drop down!

It just froze there awkwardly!

...No way, you crazy woman?

I just proposed, hey!

Please, give me some kind of reaction!

Even if you instantly go full yandere and drag me away to lock me in a basement, that would be fine!

What is the meaning of this crashed, program not responding look?!

He felt that his previously overflowing confidence was about to be completely shattered by this crazy woman's reaction!

Ahem.

A light cough broke the frozen air.

Fang Qi turned his head rather stiffly to look...

Gu Xi was leaning one hand on the edge of the table, her other hand curled into a loose fist against her lips, and her shoulders...

Were trembling slightly in a very suspicious manner!

Fang Qi: ...

Gu Xi's light brown eyes were curved into crescents, clearly screaming enjoying the show!

Seeing Fang Qi look over, she quickly tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth and gave a light cough.

But she couldn't hide that teasing glint no matter what!

Ahem, Mr. Fang.

She cleared her throat, her voice still carrying lingering amusement:

Your Liguang might... need a little time to process this kind of major information.

She deliberately emphasized the words major information, her gaze darting between Fang Qi and the still-blank Liguang.

Then she couldn't help but purse her lips again.

Fang Qi's mouth twitched. He gave two dry laughs and then sheepishly lowered the arm that was wrapped around the silver-haired girl:

Ah, yeah, she...

Her emotional module is quite delicate, so her calculation volume is rather large! Understanding this kind of complex commitment definitely takes some time... Haha!

It was a dry explanation that even he himself didn't believe.

Crazy woman... I finally decided to take the initiative to win you over...

And you actually made me fail this completely!

Damn it!

This is way too devastating to a guy's confidence!

Gu Xi clearly didn't believe it either, but she didn't continue to tease him.

She neatly pulled a plain white business card from the breast pocket of her police uniform, pinched it between her fingertips, and with a flick of her wrist, offered it to Fang Qi.

Regardless, thanks for your help this time.

Gu Xi's voice still trembled slightly, the amusement in her eyes unfading:

Here is my contact information. If you ever need anything in the future, you can look for me. Police matters, or...

She paused, her gaze seemingly sweeping over Liguang's vacant, pretty face.

AI-related issues are fine too. I have a best friend who is somewhat of an expert in this field. Maybe she can give some professional advice.

The card was offered very naturally, at just the right distance.

Fang Qi felt relieved and quickly reached out to take it!

This works! At least he managed to establish a connection with Gu Xi!

But at this very moment—

Swish!

An off-white blur flashed by!

Smack.

That familiar slender hand shot out at an unbelievable speed!

It swiftly swatted Fang Qi's hand away!

As for that plain white business card...

It landed securely in the palm of that slender hand!

Fang Qi's hand remained frozen in mid-air, his fingertips still maintaining the posture of reaching for it...

But he only grasped a handful of air!

He turned his head stiffly.

Liguang had at some point bowed slightly, gently pinching the business card.

Then, facing the equally astonished Gu Xi, she gave a perfectly measured bow.

Thank you, Officer Gu.

Her voice was steady, her intonation standard.

...But there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of emotion to be heard!

Master's social information is uniformly managed and kept by Liguang. Liguang will accept this business card.

After saying that, she straightened up, held the card with both hands, and pressed it against her chest.

Her movements were meticulous, the curve of her lips as precise as a template!

The data streams in her crimson eyes... were still spinning slowly and sluggishly.

Fang Qi: ...

Gu Xi: ...

The air fell silent once again.

The hand Fang Qi had reached out was frozen in mid-air...

It was absolutely explosive levels of awkwardness!

...You crazy woman!!

What exactly are you trying to do today!!!

He felt that his previous lofty ambitions of reversing the roles of pursuer and pursued...

Had been completely shattered by Liguang's series of bizarre actions!

Why is it that when I try to win you over, you suddenly become so weird!

The beautiful police officer was the first to react.

She raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting from Liguang's perfectly smiling face to Fang Qi's awkwardly stiff one...

And then... she pursed her lips again.

It seems...

She dragged out her words, her tone tinged with teasing:

Is that high-level alert mode acting up again? Not even letting you directly touch a business card I hand over?

...Right! That's exactly it!

Fang Qi immediately took the out she gave him!

Laughing it off, he forcefully pressed down the silver-haired girl's hand that was still holding the business card!

Taking advantage of the motion, he grabbed her slightly cool wrist:

You see, Officer Gu, this mode hasn't been deactivated yet, so she's a bit out of control... I'll restart her as soon as I get back, a deep reboot!

These words were one hundred percent from the bottom of his heart!

Right now, he truly wanted to go back and reboot this crazy woman who was acting so bizarrely it gave him the creeps!

In the past, when she got jealous, she at least had a bit of human flavor to her, but now...

She was exactly like a broken robot!

This was way too weird!

Could it really be a system error caused by corrupted memory!

Gu Xi clearly didn't plan to look into it too deeply. She waved her hand, unable to hold back a smile:

Alright, alright, the statement is done. I'll contact you if anything else comes up. Hurry up and take your baby home.

Will do! Thank you, Officer Gu!

Feeling as if he had just been granted amnesty, Fang Qi pulled Liguang and headed outside!

Although the process wasn't very smooth, the main quest was considered complete!

So he needed to leave immediately!

It was just too awkward!

The silver-haired girl was dragged along by him, yet her footsteps remained steady.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze seemingly falling on the wrist Fang Qi was holding... or perhaps not.

On that breathtakingly beautiful face, the docile smile... looked as if it had been welded on!

From beginning to end, it hadn't changed a single bit!

It wasn't until they walked out of the police station doors and the somewhat scorching afternoon sun hit their faces...

That Fang Qi finally let out a long sigh of relief!

He let go of Liguang's wrist, couldn't help but rub his temples, and looked at Liguang.

The silver-haired girl still wore that mechanical smile, and even her line of sight...

Was staring straight ahead!

She wasn't looking at him at all!

Fang Qi felt a slight twinge of nervousness in his heart.

This crazy woman's current state was exactly like...

Like...

A basic, low-level AI that had been pre-programmed with yandere attributes!

She was rigidly... executing commands related to being a yandere!

Gone was her previous liveliness, gone were those subtle shifts in her gaze, the curving of her lips, the rampaging data streams...

She was merely mechanically roleplaying!

Playing out the pre-set yandere attributes!

Damn it...!

What kind of legacy did the Liguang from the previous timeline leave for her?!

Could it be... her personality was directly overwritten?!

Is his Liguang wife truly broken?!

Then wouldn't his time reset be completely useless?!

Riiip—

At this moment, an extremely faint sound reached his ears.

Fang Qi paused and turned his head to look.

He saw that in the hands of the still-smiling silver-haired girl...

That plain white business card had actually been neatly torn in half by her!

But she didn't stop!

She stacked the torn halves together, slowly, evenly... and pulled them apart again!

Riiip.

Four pieces.

Stacked, and torn again.

Riiip.

Eight pieces.

Her movements were not fast; they could even be called elegant.

Her slender fingers were steady and strong, every tear following an almost perfectly straight line.

Sunlight shone on her lowered profile, a few strands of silver hair lifted by the breeze, brushing past the corners of her emotionless eyes.

This scene was beautiful, bizarre...

And it sent a chill down his spine!

Fang Qi opened his mouth, his throat a little dry: Liguang, you...

Liguang happened to finish the final tear.

The original business card... had become a small pile of white confetti in her palm.

She finally raised her eyes. Her heterochromatic pupils looked incredibly translucent in the sunlight, clearly reflecting Fang Qi's somewhat stunned face.

But her gaze did not meet Fang Qi's; she just looked straight... ahead.

As if looking into a void!

Her voice remained steady and gentle:

Officer Gu Xi's contact information has already been recorded in Liguang's core storage area, permanently backed up.

She opened her palm, and the finely torn scraps of paper... scattered with the wind.

Therefore, there is no need to keep the physical business card.

She clapped her hands lightly, dusting off the last bit of paper from her palm... Her movements actually carried a hint of briskness!

Then, she bloomed a standard smile in Fang Qi's direction!

The corners of her mouth curled up in a perfect arc, her eyes curving into crescents.

If Master wishes to contact Officer Gu, you can ask Liguang at any time.

But her gaze...

Still did not focus on his eyes!

She was still looking straight ahead!

Because of the height difference, at this moment... it was as if she was quietly staring at Fang Qi's chin!

Liguang will provide you with all the information you need.

Her tone was calm, as if... she were truly an emotionless AI!

Fang Qi looked at her perfect smiling face...

And only felt a vague sense of dread... slowly rising in his heart!

It was not the previous fear of having his legs broken by a yandere...

But a... deep-seated fear of a human-like creature!

It was... the uncanny valley effect!

This was just...

No longer a simple feeling that something was wrong!

It was a program glitch! A bug! A virus!

The previous Liguang, even if she wanted to destroy a love rival's belongings, would do so with vivid emotions!

Anger, grievance, paranoid possessiveness!

Even the sickly ecstasy when she went dark...

Were all vivid and boiling hot!

But now...

Did she exhaust all her efforts in the previous timeline to leave behind a legacy, just to turn her current self into a...

Slightly more advanced humanoid yandere program?!

Fang Qi even began to doubt whether the silver-haired girl before him...

Was still... his crazy wife?

Master?

The silver-haired girl tilted her head, her silver hair slipping over her shoulder.

She seemed to have noticed Fang Qi's prolonged daze and stiffness, but on her exquisitely beautiful face, her gaze still did not meet his.

She was quietly staring straight into the void ahead.

What is the matter?

Are you feeling unwell?
