"No, mister... who are you?"
The moment Lin Xiaoyou said this, Fang Qi was also stunned.
...Huh?
He looked at Lin Xiaoyou, then at the smiling middle-aged man beside him...
...Hmm?
This strange man just spoke to Lin Xiaoyou in a tone as if they were old acquaintances...
But the result... Lin Xiaoyou doesn't know him?
Looking at her expression, her bewildered eyes, and her furrowed little brows...
No matter how you look at it, she really doesn't know him!
This man... is from "Dusk," right?
Definitely.
So if he knows Lin Xiaoyou, it means Lin Xiaoyou...
He widened his eyes and looked at the pink-clad girl at the door, who was still looking bewildered.
Lin Xiaoyou isn't from "Dawn," but rather...
From "Dusk"?!
But if Lin Xiaoyou is from "Dusk," then she...
Is an AI?
Or a cyborg?
His gaze immediately swept over Lin Xiaoyou!
Ponytail, round face, almond eyes, canvas shoes...
And that bewildered little face.
...Is this an AI?
And if she is an AI...
Wouldn't Liguang be able to tell?
Most importantly... there is an ending in the game called [The Last Supper]!
In that ending, Lin Xiaoyou's head was served on the dining table by Liguang!
He had been protecting this little head all along!
If Lin Xiaoyou is an AI, then Liguang...
Served an AI head on the table?
...That's absurd!
Impossible!
But if she isn't an AI and is related to "Dusk"...
Then she is...!
Fang Qi stared at Lin Xiaoyou, and the thought in his heart blurted out:
"Lin Xiaoyou, have you been modified too?!"
Lin Xiaoyou was instantly stunned on the spot!
She blinked, looking completely bewildered!
"Senior... what are you talking about?"
"I... I've been modified? Me?"
She looked down at herself, then raised a hand to touch her cheek, her tone bewildered and carrying a hint of amusement:
"Aren't I perfectly fine? Where have I been modified?"
Behind her, her best friend Xiaoqing was still desperately pulling at her clothes, her face pale!
Muttering "let's go, let's go" under her breath.
But Lin Xiaoyou just wouldn't leave!
She stood there glaring at Fang Qi!
Fang Qi glared back at her!
...Right!
A cyborg!
If she is a cyborg, then everything makes sense!
Cyborgs are humans who have been gradually modified into AIs, maintaining a human exterior, but inside...
There might be mechanical parts!
As long as that little head hasn't been modified... then [The Last Supper] could still happen!
And she hadn't been detected lying by Liguang before...
Because Liguang couldn't detect the modified parts and was deceived by simulated physiological data?
It's possible, really possible!
Then the reason she doesn't know this man is...
Just as he was pondering endlessly—
"That's not it, Master."
A gentle and obedient voice suddenly came from his arms.
It was no longer the sickly-sweet crazy voice from before.
At this moment, the silver-haired girl was looking up at him with her pretty face, a gentle smile curving her lips.
Her eyes were smiling too, curved into crescents.
But this expression made Fang Qi's eyelid twitch slightly!
Oh no, it's Liguang's signature "friendly" expression when she's dissatisfied!
...What's wrong now?
"Master..."
Liguang's voice was very docile, laced with sweetness.
"Miss Lin... is a complete human."
"Liguang can still see that."
She met his gaze, hugging his neck, but her arms slowly began to tighten!
"Every time Liguang sees Miss Lin, Liguang checks Miss Lin's physiological indicators."
She leaned close to his ear, her warm breath making his ear tickle.
"Heartbeat, breathing, pupil contraction—"
"Muscle tension, body temperature changes, skin reactions—"
She spoke word by word, her tone growing gentler... but her slender arms tightened more and more!
"If there was really something wrong with Miss Lin, Liguang would definitely tell Master."
Her voice grew sweeter, whispering softly:
"Not only does Master not want to be modified by Liguang and stay with Liguang forever..."
"Does Master actually not believe in Liguang's abilities?"
"Does Master think... with Liguang's abilities, Liguang can't modify Master properly?"
"Or does Master think..."
"Liguang is lying to Master? Liguang is untrustworthy?"
Her lips still held that gentle curve, but her phoenix eyes narrowed...
That look was truly "friendly"!
Fang Qi: "..."
He didn't immediately coax his wife, because...
He was once again confused by the information Liguang provided!
...Liguang can detect it?
So Lin Xiaoyou really is completely human? She hasn't been modified at all?
Then he was choked until he almost couldn't breathe!
The pressure on his neck continued to increase little by little!
The silver-haired girl's embrace had turned into a gentle restraint!
Fang Qi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Hey, wifey!
The situation is so critical right now... don't act up at a time like this!
Be normal!
So naughty!
The situation was urgent, and he didn't have the time to patiently coax his wife like before!
So, taking advantage of Liguang narrowing her eyes at him, waiting for his explanation...
He quietly slipped two fingers out and conveniently pinched a certain spot behind Liguang!
And then gave it a moderate twist!
"Ah—!"
The silver-haired girl let out a short gasp on the spot!
The arms hugging his neck immediately let go!
She bounced up from his arms like a frightened rabbit!
Her two small hands covered her bottom as she stared wide-eyed at Fang Qi!
"M-Master...?!"
Her phoenix eyes were wide round, her amber left eye filled with shock, and the crimson in her red eye even forgot to flicker, just freezing there blankly!
Fang Qi blinked.
...Ah, this.
He actually just wanted her to let go, and in a moment of desperation, he pinched randomly, not expecting the spot he pinched to be...
Ahem...!
Super effective! Very nice!
Crazy woman, you always liked to pinch me before, now it's my turn to fight back!
The silver-haired girl was still covering her bottom, her little face tinted pink, her expression a mix of embarrassment, anger, and panic!
Then she suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at their surroundings!
As her gaze swept over the "audience" around them, the crimson in her red eye began to flicker! Her small mouth parted slightly, baring a little canine tooth—
As if to say: None of you are allowed to look at what Master did to me! Don't look!
Fang Qi looked at her like this and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Hmm...?
Crazy woman, you really have changed!
You weren't like this before!
Before, if she got smacked in front of Lin Xiaoyou or An Lian, she would be overjoyed, blushing until her head smoked...
Now she won't let others look?
Then he suddenly understood—
Before, she liked to show off their affection in public because their relationship was delicate back then, and she needed to declare to the whole world that "Master belongs to Liguang."
But now, they had both tacitly confirmed their relationship.
In her eyes, Master was already hers, so there was no need to declare anything anymore. Therefore...
She wanted to keep this intimacy all to herself.
No one else was allowed to know about the little gestures between her and Master. She had to be the only one who knew, the only one to enjoy them!
Tsk, tsk.
...The little thoughts of this little yandere were really getting harder and harder to guess!
Fang Qi rubbed his temples.
Was he... going to be deprived of the right to show affection in public by Liguang from now on?
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyou, who was standing to the side... hadn't noticed Fang Qi's secret little gesture just now.
She was currently looking at the two of them with a bewildered expression.
"Ahem."
A light cough interrupted Fang Qi's train of thought.
He snapped back to reality, turning his head only to see the middle-aged uncle sitting one seat away from him...
Currently looking at them with a beaming smile.
Those eyes were full of amusement, carrying a sort of... tolerance of watching a younger generation fool around?
"Young man, you really treat your AI companion very well."
The uncle's voice was gentle, carrying a hint of sentiment:
"To think your AI companion dares to be so presumptuous in front of you. It seems you really love her."
Fang Qi: "...?"
Wait... what do you mean by that?
What do you mean, presumptuous?
Why did it sound like... he was mocking him for being too lenient at home!
The silver-haired girl was also clearly displeased!
With a spin, she once again blocked the space in front of Fang Qi!
Her slender back was straight as a ramrod, her two small hands spread slightly to protect Fang Qi behind her, narrowing her eyes at the uncle in front of her!
Fang Qi looked at the uncle's smiling face, then glanced at the bewildered Lin Xiaoyou.
This uncle... felt like he knew a lot.
But before he could speak, the uncle waved his hand.
He smiled and said:
"I know what you want to ask."
His voice remained gentle, and his gaze drifted toward Lin Xiaoyou for a moment.
"Xiaoyou... she is indeed human, completely human."
"You don't need to doubt that."
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes at him, saying nothing.
The uncle smiled again. "As for her identity..."
He shook his head:
"It's inconvenient for me to disclose. If you want to know..."
He looked at the pink figure still standing blankly at the door, the smile on his lips deepening:
"Then you'd better go ask her yourself."
"Hey—!"
Before Fang Qi could react, Lin Xiaoyou immediately spoke up in dissatisfaction!
She frowned, her almond eyes glaring at the uncle:
"Uncle, what are you talking about? What identity?"
"I'm just Senior's colleague! What other identity could I have!"
As she spoke, she swept a glance over the full house of spectators, the expression on her small face becoming even more peculiar:
"Also..."
"Why are all of you looking at me?!"
"It's super creepy, okay! Look, you've completely terrified Xiaoqing!"
She tugged at her best friend behind her.
Behind her, Xiaoqing... was indeed about to lose her mind from anxiety!
The hand tugging at her clothes was trembling non-stop!
But Lin Xiaoyou just wouldn't leave!
She held her best friend's hand, just standing there at the door glaring at everyone!
What a picture of a naive, sweet girl who feared nothing like a newborn calf.
Fang Qi looked at her like that...
No matter how you looked at it... she just seemed like an innocent girl being stared at by a bunch of strangers!
Just what exactly was going on here?
