Fang Qi's eye couldn't help but twitch.
The silver-haired girl in front of him still had her amber eyes submissively lowered, but that crimson eye hidden beneath her silver bangs...
Those phoenix eyes with their inner hooks and outer upward sweeps were already half-narrowed!
Data streams were darting wildly within them, and her gaze was locked dead onto Lin Xiaoyou's... neck?!
She was barely hiding her murderous intent toward Lin Xiaoyou anymore!
The tips of her slender fingers were flashing with a frequent red light!
There was even a faint, scorching smell of overloading circuits in the air...
Fang Qi's heart leaped into his throat!
She's really going to blow...!
Though, he could somewhat understand...
Just listen to what Lin Xiaoyou had been saying!
Office anecdotes only the two of them knew.
Gossip and banter between colleagues.
Even...
Rumors about other young women being interested in him?!
And all of this... was a world completely unknown to Liguang!
Every single word, every single syllable...
Was wildly dancing on Liguang's nerve of "possessiveness"!
Not to mention, this little yandere just had to stand in the kitchen, listening to her "rival" chatting and laughing intimately with her Master outside, while she...
She had to act like a servant, silently preparing tea and waiting on her!
The only reason she had endured it this long, Fang Qi figured, was because the lingering dread of her previous kneeling punishment and her secret delight were still keeping her in check, preventing her from completely acting out for now!
But, obviously...
The crazy woman's patience was reaching its limit!
One more provocation, and she would go on a murderous rampage right in front of him!
Fang Qi stiffly turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoyou beside him.
Lin Xiaoyou's small face was full of confusion. She blinked her round eyes, "What's wrong with Liguang..."
She looked at the tea still gently sloshing in the cup, then at Liguang, who was smiling submissively next to her.
She didn't seem to understand how this perfect AI companion had suddenly "slipped up"?
Fang Qi: "..."
What do you mean what's wrong with her!
This crazy girl had no idea her life was currently in grave danger!
He had to act immediately!
Now... it's my turn to put on a show!
He took a deep breath, and then...
Suddenly reached out his hand and swung it upward!
"Smack."
A sudden, light sound rang out exceptionally clear in the quiet living room.
His raised hand landed accurately on...
That perky rear wrapped in the light blue skirt!
The sound was crisp, almost echoing.
The air in the living room froze instantly.
The moment the silver-haired girl was smacked, her entire body trembled!
Then, her originally half-narrowed phoenix eyes immediately widened, and her body instantly stiffened into a statue!
Her amber eye instantly became misty, and the data stream in her crimson eye came to a sudden halt!
She stiffly turned her head to look at Fang Qi, her expression blank, her red lips slightly parted, looking completely unable to process what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyou's reaction beside them was much more direct!
Her round almond eyes instantly widened to their limits, and the bag of cream puffs in her hands almost slipped out!
Her small face was written with the shock of "What did I just see?!" and "Is this something I can watch for free?!":
"Senior... did... did you just..."
Fang Qi's attention was entirely on Liguang!
Seeing Liguang's momentary stunned reaction, his heart relaxed slightly.
...Good, good, good! Very good!
Everything is going according to plan!
He tried his best to put on an expression of helpless complaint:
"Liguang, why are you being so clumsy?"
His voice wasn't loud, and his tone carried a hint of indulgence and doting: "Look at you, you've startled our guest."
Liguang stared blankly with an open mouth, the frenzy and murderous intent in her eyes dissipating instantly.
Her red lips trembled slightly, and her voice quivered incoherently: "Mas... Master... I...!"
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Before she could react... he needed to tease this little yandere until she was completely mind-blown!
His hand slid upward naturally, gently caressing her cheek, and then...
He lightly pinched that delicate, smooth face!
"Go," Fang Qi said in a casual tone. "Go fetch Miss Lin another cup. Be careful, don't make a mess again."
His fingertips even lingered to stroke her cheek one last time before pulling away.
Liguang stared at him blankly, motionless.
Lin Xiaoyou was also sporting a dumbfounded little expression, accompanied by a faint trace of disappointment.
The entire living room fell silent.
Then, after about a five-second system crash—
Liguang's exquisitely beautiful face...
Turned from a rosy pink into a fully ripe tomato at a speed visible to the naked eye!
With a "hiss" from the top of her head, a wisp of faint white steam puffed out!
Her amber left eye darted around out of focus, and the data streams in her crimson eye started spinning in circles!
Her mouth curled up uncontrollably, revealing a slightly dizzy, silly smile:
"...Y-Y-Yes, Master!"
Her voice changed pitch, even cracking a bit, mixed with the fine static of electric current!
Like someone drunk, her footsteps became light and started to stagger!
With the circles still spinning in her crimson eye, she clumsily tidied up the table and picked up the spilled cup of floral tea...
Then, she turned around like the wind and sprinted back into the kitchen!
"Bang!" She slammed the door shut!
From the kitchen came the clattering sounds of porcelain colliding, along with a suppressed, excited soft whine of "Wuuu—"!
The living room fell quiet once again.
"...Phew..."
Fang Qi let out a trembling breath and wiped away his cold sweat.
...A narrow escape!
That maneuver was pushing it to the limit!
Good thing his timing was spot-on, otherwise there really would be flying heads in the room!
"Se... Senior...!"
A slightly stuttering voice came to his ear.
Fang Qi turned his head and saw Lin Xiaoyou's round, wide almond eyes!
The young girl's mouth was wide open in an 'O' shape. She looked at the kitchen, then at Fang Qi, her face clearly saying, "Were my eyes playing tricks on me just now?"
"Senior..."
Lin Xiaoyou lowered her voice, leaning in, her eyes shining with disbelief and excitement:
"Did... did you just... spank Liguang's... butt?"
Fang Qi forced himself to stay calm and gave a dry cough. "Um... you could say that. What's wrong?"
"And you pinched her face!"
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes widened even more:
"And then Liguang... Oh my God! She blushed! So obviously red! And her head... did smoke come out of her head? I saw it!"
Fang Qi's brow twitched.
Here it comes!
Yes! That's exactly right, my good teammate!
Keep talking! Don't stop!
Lin Xiaoyou's voice pitched up slightly out of excitement:
"Is she really an AI? That reaction was way too realistic! It's exactly like a real girl being teased by the person she likes!"
"Shy, happy, completely flustered... Goodness, the level of simulation is insanely high!"
She was getting so excited she was almost dancing around!
Fang Qi was ecstatic inside!
Goal achieved!
Liguang definitely heard that!
I'm safe!
He maintained a breezy facade, shrugging as he said, "I told you it's a top-tier custom model. It's perfectly normal for the emotional simulation to be a bit nuanced. Don't make such a fuss over it."
"How is this just 'a bit nuanced'!"
Lin Xiaoyou's initial hint of disappointment had been completely overtaken by curiosity. Her eyes lit up.
"Those mass-produced demo models I saw at the tech expo before had such programmed reactions. They were no fun at all! But Liguang's... this whole series of reactions is just too natural!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but turn her head toward the kitchen again.
The kitchen door was gently pushed open once more.
Liguang walked out, carrying a fresh cup of tea.
The blush on her face had yet to fully fade, and the corners of her lips still held that irrepressible, cloyingly sweet smile of sheer satisfaction. There was even a light, joyous bounce to her steps.
Looking at her, a faint sense of smugness began to well up in Fang Qi's heart.
It seemed his skills in handling yanderes hadn't rusted after all. He had already hit today's target this quickly!
Lin Xiaoyou looked the silver-haired girl up and down, exclaiming in awe, "Oh my god, this is amazing! It really feels like she has a mind of her own. This... this is just too intelligent!"
Then, stroking her smooth chin, her eyes sparkling, she murmured, "Senior, is it possible that your Liguang has actually awakened to true self-awareness?"
The living room instantly fell dead silent.
Fang Qi: "...?"
His previously relaxed, even slightly smug smile slowly froze on his face.
...?
Did Lin Xiaoyou just...
Say something she really shouldn't have?
...Huh?
