My Yandere Mechanical Wife

Her voice was clear and resonant, carrying a crisp and decisive quality!

But if you listen carefully, you can hear the awkwardness and apology hidden within:

"I had a preconceived notion and misunderstood you! I only realized after watching the video that you acted in self-defense!"

"Besides... you didn't make her do that kind of thing, it was her own... uh, the program's reaction."

She looked up, her ponytail swinging behind her shoulder, her face still flushed with embarrassment, but her eyes had become sincere:

"I shouldn't have been rude before understanding the situation, and I certainly shouldn't have doubted your character!"

"I apologize for my rudeness. I'm sorry, Mr. Fang!"

As she spoke, she lowered her head again!

Fang Qi was taken aback by her sudden formal apology.

Goodness, this policewoman...

Just like in the game, she has a pure and straightforward temper!

When you misunderstand him and think he dislikes you, your attitude is terrible!

Realizing he was wrong, he immediately bowed and apologized, without any hesitation...

He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Officer Gu, you're just doing your duty, I understand."

But in my heart I gave a thumbs-up!

Sure enough! Although admitting it would be a little awkward, facing this straightforward policewoman who readily admits her mistakes...

He'll lose people's favor if he's too coy!

As long as I'm not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed!

Now, he has not only improved the mood of the yandere, but also made the policewoman, who is just a tool for him, feel apologetic and fond of him...

Perfect! That was a 10/10!

Relieved, Fang Qi maintained a composed expression of being understood.

"I have nothing to hide. I ordered it legally and used it in accordance with regulations. It's not like I'm doing anything shameful."

"...Yes, that's true."

Gu Xi straightened up and awkwardly touched the back of her neck, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She cleared her throat, trying to regain her professional tone, but it was noticeably softer:

"I have a basic understanding of the situation. The video evidence is complete, and the other party was armed with a knife first. Your AI companion's actions can be considered legitimate self-defense. As for the last part..."

She paused, glanced at Li Guang, and her eyes, no longer filled with suspicion, only a helpless smile that said, "Your way of interacting is quite unique."

"I will make a note in the report if the emotional simulation is too vivid, but it should not affect the qualitative assessment."

Fang Qi: "..."

This is also a report?

That works too.

Just don't tell the Anhui University representative.

Gu Xi seemed eager to turn the page on this awkward situation. She picked up the keys from the table and stood up.

"Um... let me unlock your handcuffs first!"

Her hand reached for Fang Qi's wrist.

Just then...

Li Guang's gaze, which remained smiling and even somewhat dazed...

But it froze instantly!

They immediately locked onto Gu Xi's approaching hand!

Her gaze followed Gu Xi's fingers intently, watching as those fingers grasped the key, inserted it into the handcuff, and turned it—

Throughout the entire process, the silver-haired girl's gentle smile remained unchanged.

But Fang Qi could feel... her handcuffed wrists were exerting a slight force!

She tugged at the chains of the shackles, seemingly trying to get his wrists away from Gu Xi's fingers!

Her other hand, folded on her lap, was gently rubbing the hem of her skirt with her little finger.

That's... a subconscious little gesture she makes when she's in a bad mood!

It was obvious that she didn't want Gu Xi to unlock the handcuffs, and even less did she want Gu Xi to touch her owner's wrist!

Fang Qi: "..."

With a soft "click," the handcuffs on Fang Qi's wrists were unlocked.

Gu Xi's fingers never actually touched his wrist skin; she simply performed the operation through the air.

Only then did Li Guang's gaze shift away from Gu Xi's hand.

Her little finger stopped rubbing the hem of her skirt, and her eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but also a slight softening.

She lowered her head slightly and cooperatively raised her wrist, allowing Gu Xi to easily unlock her handcuffs.

Fang Qi's lips twitched.

Take a deep breath...

As long as they don't turn evil, there shouldn't be a big problem!

Gu Xi straightened up, put the handcuffs back to her waist, breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her hand to press her neck and gently twisted it, her expression much more relaxed.

"Alright." Her tone was much more relaxed, with a hint of relief and casualness. "However..."

She looked at Fang Qi, her tone tinged with embarrassment:

"Although the video provided by Liguang is very complete, she is, after all, an advanced AI companion and one of the parties involved."

"According to procedure, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that she has tampered with or edited the records without authorization. Therefore, you will need to wait here for a while."

As she explained, she leaned slightly against the edge of the table, one hand casually resting on it:

"We need to retrieve public surveillance footage from the alleyway for cross-verification to ensure the video has not been altered. This is simply a procedural requirement; I personally believe the veracity of your statements."

She paused, then added, her tone slightly apologetic:

"If all goes well, it should be finished in about half an hour. Sorry to take up a little of your time."

Fang Qi nodded: "I understand, cooperating with the investigation is the right thing to do."

But Li Guang beside him...

Fang Qi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

The silver-haired girl had removed her handcuffed wrists and gracefully crossed her hands on her lap again.

She lowered her eyelashes slightly, and the corners of her lips still held that gentle smile.

Everything seems to be normal.

But Fang Qi noticed that her hand, which was resting on her lap... her little finger started moving again!

Gently, lightly, it rubbed against the hem of the skirt.

The movements were very light and restrained... but they continued!

—The handcuffs are gone. My master promised to take me to meet his colleagues today, but now I have to wait here. What a waste of time. I'm unhappy.

That's clearly what she was thinking!

...Having just "conquered" Gu Xi, now he has to figure out how to keep this crazy woman in check!

However... it's not a big problem.

Watch me do it!

After a moment's thought... he casually let his left hand fall to his side.

Then, silently...

It hooked onto Li Guang's little finger, which was still itching to move!

"!"

The silver-haired girl's slender body trembled slightly.

Fang Qi could feel that her little finger instantly stiffened!

Then, extremely slowly, with a hint of probing...

She gently... hooked his finger back.

But this subtle touch and response is like a hidden switch.

The unnatural paleness on Li Guang's cheeks was quickly replaced by a more realistic layer of light pink!

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Fang Qi very quickly.

The gloom that had been in her eyes had dissipated, replaced by a wet, shy look and a softness that came from being comforted!

The curve of the corners of the lips has become natural again, and even slightly upturned!

Fang Qi felt a little relieved.

Hmm... things are stable now!

This crazy woman, although her condition is a bit off...

But I have to say, she's still so easy to coax!

Gu Xi was clearly still embarrassed by the misunderstanding. She awkwardly raised her hand to rub the back of her neck, her gaze drifting briefly to Fang Qi's face before quickly looking away.

To break the delicate silence, she suddenly clapped her hands!

"Oh, right!"

She raised her voice slightly, trying to make her tone sound lighter:

"Mr. Fang, since you have so much... experience using AI companions, that's perfect..."

"Our bureau is currently piloting a police auxiliary AI system and plans to recruit some citizens familiar with home AI to participate in the internal testing and provide feedback!"

She paused for a moment as she spoke, her ponytail swaying gently as she tilted her head slightly.

His light brown eyes looked at Fang Qi, still holding a trace of lingering embarrassment, but he forced a businesslike expression:

"It's just a trial run of the new system, providing some user experience feedback. It's not a formal job, but there's a small stipend. I think you're a good fit. Would you like to consider it?"

Fang Qi's ears immediately perked up.

Internal testing of police auxiliary AI?

This isn't in the game...

But his mind works incredibly fast!

It was obvious that Gu Xi had come up with this topic on the spot to ease the awkwardness and make up for her bad attitude earlier!

but……

Isn't this a golden opportunity?!

This is simply the best excuse to legitimately approach Gu Xi in the future, and to prepare for controlling An Lian later!

"OK!"

He blurted it out almost without hesitation!

A warm yet polite smile instantly appeared on his face: "I'd be happy to contribute to the police system! When do we start? What do you need me to prepare...?"

Before he could finish speaking—

"?!"

A sharp pain suddenly shot through my left little finger!

That wasn't a gentle entanglement, but rather...

The force was so strong it almost crushed finger bones!

Fang Qi's breath caught in his throat, and he almost cried out in pain!

He stiffly turned his head to look at Li Guang beside him—

The silver-haired girl remained sitting quietly.

Her pale beige skirt flared out, her hands were elegantly folded on her lap, her profile was soft, and her lips even held that perfectly placed, gentle smile.

Sunlight streamed in through the high windows of the interrogation room, casting fine shadows on her silver eyelashes, while her amber left eye remained clear and bright.

Business as usual.

Apart from--

Fang Qi's gaze was fixed on the two people's hands, which were hanging at their sides and hidden by the table.

His little finger was being tightly gripped by Li Guang's cool, slender fingers!

It wasn't an intimate embrace, but rather... a grip that was almost like a pincer!

The force was so great that his knuckles turned white!

Even the bones were emitting faint groans of unbearable strain!

And on her face... she still had that innocent and docile expression!

Even as Gu Xi's gaze swept over, he slightly tilted his head and gave the policewoman a shy yet friendly smile.

Fang Qi's back... instantly broke out in a cold sweat!

After the initial excruciating pain and confusion, the brain finally belatedly realized...

What did he just promise?!

Try out... other AIs?!

In Li Guang's twisted, all-consuming logic, this was even more shocking than dating Lin Xiaoyou or smelling like a strange woman...

Even more unforgivable!!

This is the ultimate betrayal of her "uniqueness"!

Yes... they're trying to replace her with another "AI"!

It's outright infidelity!!

but……

Fang Qi was completely dumbfounded.

Police AI... its main focus is practicality!

That's not a humanoid AI companion at all!!

It's probably just two robotic arms, or a robotic dog... or even just a general-purpose AI model!

He didn't even realize what was happening!

Would this thing even make Li Guang jealous?

Fang Qi could almost hear the buzzing of the overloaded current inside Li Guang's head, and he could see the crimson torrent of data about to gush out from the depths of her red eyes!

He even felt that the hand tightly gripping his little finger would...

It would then "whoosh" and a laser blade would pop out, wiping Gu Xi and her mouth that had made the suggestion...!

"Mr. Fang?"

Gu Xi's voice came through, tinged with doubt.

Fang Qi snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing the sharp pain in his fingers and the panic in his heart, forcing out a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"N-nothing! I was just a little distracted... Let's try it out..."

While rapidly responding to Gu Xi, he used all his strength to try and free his tangled little finger—

Not moving.

Li Guang's fingers looked as if they were welded to his finger bones.

He could even feel the cool touch of her fingertips gradually increasing, with a faint, abnormal warmth that came from mechanical operation.

The silver-haired girl's smile remained flawless.

But at this moment, she was no longer looking at Gu Xi, but... quietly staring at his face!

The corners of her mouth seem to be starting to curve upwards again!

Fang Qi: "..."

This one seems to be...

Did they go too far?
