My Yandere Mechanical Wife

Fang Qi looked at the cute girl with dimples on her face.

Lin Xiaoyou.

My colleague in the game is lively and cheerful.

Most importantly... openly and obsessively pursuing the player.

When he was locked in the cage, he used Lin Xiaoyou's name and foolishly triggered a rollback.

In the game's storyline... this girl is also a master of courting death!

She went to the player's house several times and got close to the player in front of Li Guang, hugging his arm, acting cute, and even wanting to kiss him...!

Every time, it leaves players sweating profusely and their blood pressure soaring!

Fang Qi still remembers that particularly bad ending that made him want to eat.

Lin Xiaoyou came to my house for several days in a row, acting spoiled, and hugged the player's arm in front of Li Guang, saying:

"Senior, why don't you consider dating a real person? Spending every day with AI is so boring! I'm much better than AI!"

Thinking about that ending...

Fang Qi shivered, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.

[Final Episode 21 - The Last Supper]

You sit at the dining table, watching Li Guang hum a song as she serves up an exquisite dinner.

The main course was covered with a silver lid.

She lifted the lid for you, her face flushed with happiness.

In the center of the plate is Lin Xiaoyou's lifeless head, carefully arranged like a work of art.

"No one will bother us now, Master."

Li Guang leaned down and whispered playfully in your ear.

You were so terrified that you lost the ability to speak.

From then on, you will eat every meal under "her" watchful gaze.

The love of glass allows no impurities.

BAD ENDING

……Fear!

That CG image is simply mental pollution!

Even now, thinking about it still makes Fang Qi's stomach churn...

Looking at the lively and smiling Lin Xiaoyou in front of me, and then thinking about that exquisitely arranged head from the CG...

His back was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

The very existence of this girl is a ticking time bomb that will quickly send him to a bad ending!

"Hmm? Senior, why are you spacing out?"

Lin Xiaoyou tilted her head to look at him, her ponytail swaying with her movements: "Didn't you sleep well last night? Your dark circles are so heavy."

Unlike Li Guang's various ulterior motives, her tone was simply one of concern.

Fang Qi had a strong sense of déjà vu, and he instinctively shuddered before snapping back to his senses!

"...Yes, a little bit." He chuckled dryly, subconsciously touching his face.

Can I sleep well? I'm constantly on the verge of life and death...

"Let me make you a cup of coffee. I know you like it with two parts milk and no sugar!"

As Lin Xiaoyou spoke, she skipped and hopped toward the tea room.

Fang Qi watched her leave, his lips twitching.

He knew this character all too well, because in the game, she was the ultimate tool for triggering all sorts of "jealousy endings," and his go-to partner for courting disaster.

But here...

Fang Qi covered his face in anguish. He didn't want to court death anymore; he just wanted to survive until the real ending.

Thus, this once top-tier teammate became a walking disaster!

"With this guy around, a pure love story ending is practically a distant dream..." Fang Qi muttered to himself.

Now he not only has to play the role of an unsuspecting master, but also has to guard against this "good colleague" accidentally triggering Li Guang's yandere switch!

"Coffee, senior!"

Lin Xiaoyou returned quickly, placed the cup on his table, and then naturally pulled over the chair next to her and sat down.

She rested her chin on her hands, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"By the way, senior, are you free this weekend? I know a really good dessert shop that just opened nearby, want to go try it together?" She looked expectant.

...Try your dam!

The classic death invitation scene in the game, though late, has finally arrived.

We must refuse!

Fang Qi took a deep breath, trying his best to appear as if he were simply in a predicament:

"The weekend... Um, Xiaoyou, I have something to do this weekend, I've already made plans."

He deliberately gave vague answers.

Lin Xiaoyou immediately looked disappointed, pouting, "Eh—it's not going to be with your AI again, is it?"

She leaned her little face forward and complained in a low voice, "Senior~ you're such a homebody, always staring at a machine~ Real people are so much better, they can cry and laugh, they have warmth, and they can go shopping and eat desserts with you..."

As she spoke, she suddenly blinked, a hint of mischief and shyness in her eyes: "Seriously, shouldn't you consider dating someone real, senior? I think... I'd be quite suitable!"

Fang Qi's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the coffee he had just picked up.

My goodness!

Do you know that if a certain yandere AI heard you say that, your little head would be on my dinner menu!

"Um... Xiaoyou."

Fang Qi shrank back a little, creating a safe distance, and put on a serious face: "I'm fine as I am now, really. I don't have any plans to date anyone for the time being."

"What's so good about it!"

Lin Xiaoyou grumbled in dissatisfaction and poked Fang Qi's arm.

"Your AI companion is called... Riko? Even if it's good, it's just a programmed response; it's not genuine emotion or true consciousness. What meaning can it possibly have? Real human emotions are precious! They're unique!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her small chest.

"Ah... hahaha." Fang Qi chuckled awkwardly.

If Li Guang were truly just a cold, impersonal program response, would he be so afraid...?

Her emotions are also unique, uniquely terrifying!

But he dared not reveal it, and could only give an awkward smile and remain silent.

Lin Xiaoyou reached out and gently tugged at Fang Qi's sleeve, shaking it playfully, her voice softening slightly:

"Senior~ Please consider it~ I really like you!"

Her almond-shaped eyes were round and bright, filled with genuine enthusiasm.

Fang Qi, who had played the game, knew that she wasn't just joking with the players; she genuinely liked them.

But this only made him more heartbroken!

In the game's setting, the male protagonist is good-looking and has a decent personality, so it's normal for girls to like him.

But the game "My Yandere Mechanical Wife"... is a single-female-protagonist yandere game!

The sole purpose of these female characters is to serve as "catalysts" and "yandere switches" for the female lead; they have absolutely no possibility of developing any side stories.

Because once things develop... it will inevitably lead to a bad ending!

He is now a god of pure love, aiming for eternal love and refusing to succumb to such temptations!

"Xiao You, I..."

Just as Fang Qi was about to refuse again firmly, several colleagues at the next workstation, drawn by the gossip, came over.

A middle-aged male colleague suddenly patted Fang Qi on the shoulder: "Xiao Fang, look at Xiao You, what a wonderful girl she is, so lively and adorable. She's already been so proactive, why don't you give her a chance?"

A female colleague who was close to Lin Xiaoyou chimed in with a laugh, "Yeah, yeah! Going home every day to an AI is so boring! Real people are so much better; they can be affectionate and jealous, that's what makes it feel like being in love!"

Does jealousy feel like being in love?

Ha ha……!

Fang Qi felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

At this moment, a male colleague also came over. He pushed up his glasses and lowered his voice:

"Hey, Xiao Fang, I heard... your customized AI companion at home, is it the top-of-the-line 'Dawn' series? The one that's called the 'Dream Companion'? Does that cost... around this much?"

He made a rather exaggerated gesture, his eyes full of envy and curiosity.

Lin Xiaoyou's ears immediately perked up, and she leaned closer, asking curiously, "How much? Are AI companions very expensive?"

There was curiosity in her eyes, but more than that, she was interested in Fang Qi's lifestyle.

But alarm bells were ringing loudly in Fang Qi's mind!

This topic is too dangerous!

He chuckled and tried to brush it off: "It's not expensive, it's just the regular model, how expensive could it be! A few tens of thousands of yuan, and that's with installment payments!"

He knew perfectly well that Lin Xiaoyou was a girl with a maxed-out money-grubbing personality!

In the game's storyline, she genuinely likes the player, but being a "money-grubber" is also an important part of her personality.

She didn't know the player was rich at first, and although she was pursuing him, she was still relatively discreet.

Later in the story, after a certain event, she unexpectedly learns that the player is a hidden "small millionaire"...

After that, her pursuit intensified dramatically, and her recklessness escalated dramatically!

If she finds out now that the Radiant Light is priceless... then the trouble will be even greater!

Fang Qi quickly tried to change the subject: "Hey, what are you all doing here? It's time to go to work, everyone go back to your workstations..."

"It's more than just expensive!"

A female colleague who was well-informed and knowledgeable about smart devices interrupted Fang Qi.

She squeezed in, her eyes shining, and began to reveal: "The Dawn series, I saw a demo unit at the tech expo before!"

"The base production model alone is enough to buy a top-of-the-line luxury hovercar! And Xiao Fang's is a custom-made one!"

"Top-tier bionic skin module, reportedly with a feel indistinguishable from a real person! Super-powerful guard-level combat module, explosive combat power, providing an unparalleled sense of security! Also includes customizable hair and eye color, allowing for completely personalized facial customization..."

She counted on her fingers.

Each time an item was mentioned, a collective hissing sound arose from the surrounding area.

Fang Qi, his forehead covered in sweat, tried to interject, "Well, actually..."

Then Lin Xiaoyou, whose eyes were burning with gossip, covered her mouth with her hand: "Senior, don't interrupt!"

The female colleague became more and more excited as she spoke:

"Furthermore, the customized version is said to be equipped with the most advanced emotional simulation core currently in beta testing!"

"The interaction is almost identical to that of a real person! I heard it even uses military-grade computing units!"

Fang Qi's eyelids twitched as he listened!

She lowered her voice at the end: "The whole setup, plus subsequent maintenance..."

She mysteriously gestured with her hands, saying, "That's enough to buy a nice little villa in the city center! Not even counting the annual upgrade fees and special consumable costs!"

My colleagues were instantly in an uproar!

"Holy crap?!"

"Fang Qi, you've been hiding your true abilities!"

"So, this rich kid is trying out life, huh?!"

The way they looked at Fang Qi completely changed, as if they were looking at a walking, breathing vault of gold!

Fang Qi felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being roasted over a fire.

He quickly waved his hands, raising his voice, "No, no! It's a rumor! Absolutely a rumor! It's just a regular model, she must have mistaken it..."

"I must have seen wrong? Impossible!"

The female colleague, unconvinced, pulled up the holographic GG page and pointed to the images and parameters to show everyone:

"Look! Limited edition Aurora White paint, heterochromia iris customization option, and this most obvious one—"

She pointed to a line of small print in the corner of the Google Play page and read it aloud: "Strawberry-scented bionic lubricant and fragrance module are available for purchase!"

She turned to Fang Qi, her eyes resolute:

"Xiao Fang, don't deny it! Every morning when you come to the company, you have a faint, pleasant strawberry scent! And once, you had some machine oil on your cuff, and it smelled like strawberries too! Several of our colleagues in the department have smelled it!"

Fang Qi: "..."

He froze.

No... this can actually be used as evidence?

Are you a detective?!

He turned his head slowly and stiffly to look at Lin Xiaoyou beside him.

Lin Xiaoyou was completely stunned.

Her round eyes widened, her little mouth slightly open, looking at Fang Qi, then at the dizzying price tag on the holographic GG page.

His eyes are getting brighter and brighter!

Fang Qi's lips twitched.

...I'm tired.

Destroy it.
