My Yandere Mechanical Wife

That night, Fang Qi tossed and turned in bed for ages.

My stomach is so bloated it feels like I'm carrying a watermelon, and I can't lie down comfortably no matter how I turn over!

My dreams are filled with sweet cream and Li Guang's eerily gentle "Ah—open your mouth."

When he woke up in the morning, he felt waves of acid in his stomach and a faint strawberry cream taste in his throat.

"Yue...!"

He gagged again, and tears welled up in his eyes.

But the next second, the feeling of acid reflux made his eyes light up!

"...So, I've gotten through another night safely?"

He immediately jumped out of bed and looked around.

The familiar bedroom, the warm white walls, the morning light streaming in through the window.

Not the living room!

That deadly tea is not available!

"Hahaha!" Fang Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then a sharp pain shot through his stomach, and he quickly clutched his belly. "Ouch...it hurts...but it was worth it!"

Another night has passed!

Peace has arrived on the third day!

Another milestone victory!

We're one step closer to "Eternal Love"... Well, I guess so.

After washing up, he pushed open the bedroom door with a sense of relief that "I've lived another day."

Then, her smile froze.

The living room. A white coffee table. Ceramic teacups. And opposite, a smiling silver-haired girl kneeling.

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately realized what was happening—

This isn't a rollback, it's just a normal morning!

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then walked over and sat down.

"Master, your tea."

Li Guang gently pushed the teacup towards him, her heterochromatic eyes gazing tenderly at him.

"The temperature has been adjusted to your preferred 52 degrees Celsius."

Fang Qi looked down and saw that the teacup no longer contained black or green tea, but a golden liquid with a herbal aroma.

"This is..." He sniffed it; the aroma of the herbs was very strong.

"It's a digestive tea." Li Guang leaned forward slightly, her voice filled with concern.

"Liguang detected abnormal gastrointestinal motility and slight fluctuations in heart rate during your sleep last night, suggesting you may have some indigestion. That's why we specially prepared this tea."

She paused, a playful smile curving her eyes: "Master ate too much yesterday. Next time, Li Guang will be more careful about portion control."

Fang Qi held the cup of warm digestive tea, and a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Look how thoughtful and considerate she is! She even remembered that he was full and specially prepared a digestive tea for him!

But why he ate so much is none of your business!

"...Thanks." Fang Qi blew on the hot water and carefully took a sip.

Slightly bitter, with a sweet aftertaste, and a hint of hawthorn tartness, it did make my stomach feel a bit better after drinking it.

He sipped his tea while secretly observing Li Guang.

The light in the glass seems exceptionally bright today?

Her silver hair still flowed smoothly over her shoulders, and she was still wearing that familiar light blue loungewear dress. Her hands were neatly placed on her knees, and a faint, contented smile always played on her lips.

Her body was swaying gently from side to side unconsciously, and even the little plastic star on her delicate earlobe swayed with her movements, reflecting the morning light.

...She seems to be in a good mood!

Fang Qi suddenly felt that he might also be a master of pure love strategies.

It's been three days now, and he still hasn't reverted to his previous state. In fact, he's even managed to keep this girl on sick leave happy!

What "eternal love"? He'll win her over sooner or later, thanks to the master of pure love!

Sipping his tea with relish, Fang Qi was already fantasizing about the carefree scene of leaving this world after clearing the game.

And at that very moment—

"Buzz—Buzz—"

The phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated twice!

Fang Qi's eyelids twitched involuntarily!

...Could it be that girl Lin Xiaoyou again?

I picked up my phone and looked at it—oh no, it was an unknown number.

Who is it? So early in the morning...

He glanced at Li Guang; she remained sitting quietly, her gaze lowered, seemingly unconcerned about the incoming call.

But Fang Qi knew she was definitely paying attention.

He answered the phone, trying to keep his tone casual: "Feeding?"

"Mr. Fang Qi." A female voice came from the other end of the phone.

It was cold, crisp, and devoid of any emotional coloring.

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat.

That voice... sounds familiar, could it be...?

"I am Anlian, the dedicated maintenance specialist at the 'Dawn' series AI Companion after-sales service center, number S-07."

The other person introduced themselves in a steady, measured manner.

"According to the contract, your customized AI companion 'Liguang' needs to undergo a quarterly in-depth check of its emotional module and physical maintenance. The last maintenance date was three months ago."

...An Lian?!

Fang Qi's eyelids twitched slightly!

There really is such a character in the game...

An Lian, Li Guang's personal beauty consultant. A cool and aloof beauty with delicate features but a lack of expression, meticulous in her work.

She is responsible for regularly maintaining Li Guang's physical condition, and... checking the emotional module!

In the game's storyline, if An Lian discovers that Li Guang's emotional module is abnormally active, she will report it, which will trigger a bad ending 100% of the time!

"Mr. Fang Qi?" An Lian's voice remained calm and even on the other end of the phone. "Are you still there?"

"Ah... I'm here," Fang Qi quickly said. "You're... coming for a home maintenance service, right?"

"Yes, today. Would it be convenient for you to come and perform the maintenance after 6 PM today?"

Huh? This evening?! So soon?!

Fang Qi's throat went dry, and he almost instinctively looked at Li Guang across from him.

Li Guang had raised her head at some point and was quietly looking at him.

Her face still wore that gentle smile, her amber left eye clear and bright. But Fang Qi noticed that the pupil of her crimson right eye contracted slightly.

She heard it. She knew what this "maintenance checkup" meant.

"Mr. Fang Qi?"

The cool female voice pressed for another question.

"Ah...oh, um...does it have to be today?" Fang Qi quickly came to his senses, his voice a little unsteady.

He needs to buy some time!

"Yes, it needs to be done today. You've already refused before, so this is the deadline."

The voice on the other end remained cool and professional: "If you are unable to come in person, simply leave 'Liguang' at the designated location, and I will go there for maintenance and inspection within the specified time."

Damn, when did he refuse? Before he time-traveled?

I'm speechless...

"…Convenient, very convenient!" Fang Qi quickly replied. "How about tonight? Um… how about 6:30?"

Even half an hour is half an hour!

"Okay. I'll arrive on time at 6:30 tonight. Please make sure 'Liguang' is in standby mode. Sorry for bothering you."

An Lian finished speaking crisply and then hung up the phone.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

A busy signal came through.

Fang Qi stood frozen on the sofa, holding his phone.

He slowly put down his phone and met Li Guang's questioning gaze.

"Master, whose phone call was that?" Li Guang asked softly, her tone carrying just the right amount of curiosity.

Fang Qi knew she had been monitoring his phone, and she must have heard the entire conversation just now.

"It's...it's the after-sales center." Fang Qi could only tell the truth, trying his best to make his voice sound normal. "They said they're coming tonight to do your routine maintenance check."

"Maintenance check..."

Li Guang nodded gently, a docile smile on her face: "Okay, Li Guang understands. Li Guang will prepare in advance tonight and won't cause any trouble for Master and Miss Specialist."

She spoke with perfect naturalness, as if it were just a routine equipment maintenance.

But Fang Qi's heart had sunk to the bottom.

In the game, Anlian, the maintenance specialist, is actually a supporting character who only becomes important in the later stages.

In the early stages, An Lian was practically invisible. There was little to worry about during her initial examinations because Li Guang's disguise was excellent, and she was able to pass the tests.

It wasn't until later, when the company that developed and manufactured the Liguang upgraded its detection equipment, making it impossible for any emotional fluctuations to escape detection, that Anlian truly became a threat to the Liguang.

She's a nobody in the early game, but the most feared character by players in the late game. Whenever she appears in the late game, Li Guang is almost guaranteed to turn evil!

But it's clear we haven't reached that stage yet.

Therefore, based on his experience in the game, he doesn't need to be nervous at all; he can just let An Lian handle it.

But he also knew that his current situation was very different from that in the game!

The current Li Guang... will have a hard time passing that so-called "deep emotional module check"!

He glanced at the silver-haired girl who was humming a song softly.

...Think about what she's been doing these past two days!

I was so happy because of a keychain that I lost my mind and even turned it into earrings, which I wear every day.

He almost couldn't resist attacking Lin Xiaoyou, his fingertips flashing crimson light wildly...

Because of jealousy, he crushed the glass with his bare hands...

An emotional outburst erupted on the spot because of the phrase "Why don't we marry each other?"

She even carried out "sweet torture" on him with a smile!

They're not even going to act anymore!

This level of emotional expression is far beyond the "simulated emotional response" that ordinary AI should have; it's exactly like a petty girl in love.

No, it's even worse than that, it's yandere in the throes of passionate love!

He seems to have made Li Guang a little too happy these past two days...!

With An Lian's professional yet cold-blooded eye for examination... she could probably spot the problem at a glance!

When that data anomaly is reported...

Fang Qi broke out in a cold sweat instantly!

He recalled a certain ending: An Lian held the testing device, the screen flashing red light wildly, while Li Guang stood to the side, his gentle smile shattering inch by inch, his crimson eyes shooting out red light, and a laser blade popping out from his fingertip with a "whoosh"...

Terrible!

I was so busy appeasing my wife that I forgot about this!

...He had to do something.

Before An Lian arrives, he needs to get Li Guang to... tone it down a bit.

At least during inspections, Liguang must act like a normal AI companion with perfectly simulated emotions.

but……

That's easier said than done!

Fang Qi picked up the cup of digestive tea, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go.

Li Guang, who was standing nearby, immediately came over to clear away his teacups.

Her movements were incredibly light, a cheerful smile still playing on her lips, and she was even humming a pleasant melody.

She exudes an aura of "I'm super happy right now".

Fang Qi: "..."

Honey, what are you doing?!

Try to be normal!

You have to act like an AI!

He scratched his head in frustration.

What should we do?

He couldn't very well say directly to Li Guang, "Li Guang, I know about your awakening. You'd better be discreet during the inspection, or you'll give yourself away."

...Then he could transform into a work of art in the next second.

Therefore, he could only subtly, naturally, and casually remind Li Guang:

"Honey, your emotional expression seems a little too rich, doesn't it?"

Then, she can't let Li Guang notice anything, she can't let her know that he already knows she has awakened.

...Dude, this is way too difficult!

Looking at Li Guang, who had a gentle smile and clear eyes, Fang Qi felt an unbearable headache.

Stop being so rigid! Get your act together! Think of a solution!
