My Yandere Mechanical Wife

Chapter 84 Don't Keep Me Waiting Too Long

Fang Qi sat on the sofa, holding a cup of 52-degree tea in his hands.

My fingertips were slightly numb from being warmed by the porcelain cup.

He stared intently at the tea swirling in the teacup, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

came back.

He... came back.

On the morning of the fourth day, in the living room, with a white coffee table.

And there's the silver-haired girl kneeling opposite her.

Everything... was so familiar that it made his heart tighten!

The last rollback seems like it was just a short while ago, or maybe...

It has been a very, very long time.

Those dreams, those memories so long they felt like a lifetime had truly passed...

It's like a beach after the tide has gone out, leaving only blurry traces and a damp feeling.

He only remembers fragments now.

The white wedding dress, the light from the nightlight in the nursery, and the hands clasped together while watching the sunset in the rocking chair... those two hands covered in age spots.

But the details look like handwriting that has been soaked in water...

Blurred, indistinct, and difficult to identify.

A fleeting dream.

After waking up, you should indeed try to forget it little by little.

But that feeling is still there... still very clear.

That kind of...

The feeling of being loved by someone, little by little, stubbornly yet tenderly, for a full eighty-two years.

He raised his eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl kneeling opposite the coffee table.

She... was still wearing that light blue loungewear dress.

Her silver hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, and the small plastic star on her left earlobe swayed gently as she tilted her head slightly.

His amber left eye was clear and gentle, while the data flow in his crimson right eye was running smoothly.

everything……

Everything is exactly the same as when it was rolled back before.

It seems like nothing has changed.

But when Fang Qi looked at this familiar woman, his throat tightened and he couldn't speak.

In the previous playthrough, there was Riko, who accompanied him "throughout his life"...

It has already been formatted.

That crazy woman who wove eighty-two years of dreams for him in the spiritual world, and who held his hand at the end, saying, "Treat me well in the next life too"...

She is no longer, completely gone.

And now, sitting here...

It was the morning of the fourth day.

She knows nothing.

She knew nothing about the dream.

He didn't know that she had grown up with him.

She didn't know he had ever been married to her.

I didn't know they had two children.

I didn't know they would grow old together.

I don't know... He once held her gradually cooling hand and calmly watched the world collapse.

Only he remembers.

He was the only one there, carrying those hazy and heavy memories... sitting here.

This made him suddenly realize...

I'm a little tired.

I'm really tired.

Does he really... want to continue?

Just like before, I have to dance cautiously on the edge of a knife, trying to win over this yandere little devil in front of me, trying to achieve that...

【Eternal Love】?

But what if he actually achieves it?

Is he... about to leave this world?

Back to reality, back to that real world without silver-haired girls, without the sweet scent of strawberries, without 52-degree tea...?

……Then what?

In reality, what merits did he possess to meet a girl like Li Guang?

A girl who was willing to spend eighty-two years accompanying him in a dream?

A girl who loves him to the point of obsession and madness?

Even if this love is tinged with a morbid possessiveness, even if this love once slit his throat...

But in those eighty-two years...

She cooked him breakfast every single day.

The reproachful look in his eyes when he stayed up late.

A tired but gentle smile when the child is crying.

The strength with which he held his hand as he lay dying.

Although those images were already blurry... they were still so real that they sent shivers down his spine!

He lowered his eyes and stared at his reflection in the teacup.

It was no longer that familiar, wrinkled, and aged face.

Instead, it was a familiar...young face.

But this face... was somewhat jarring to him!

How about... we leave it at that?

Let's just give up.

What about the fourth day?

So what if they're robbers?

What can Gu Xi do?

Not important anymore.

He simply continued sitting there, doing nothing at all.

Waiting for Li Guang to have doubts, waiting for Li Guang to turn evil, waiting for Li Guang...

Drag him into a bad ending!

Either one is fine.

Then roll back and start over.

Let it stagnate again.

And so it goes... endlessly, repeating the same cycle over and over again with this crazy woman...

like……

That's fine too?

Thinking this, a self-deprecating smile even appeared on his lips.

His gaze refocused, looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

Li Guang's expression... was undergoing a subtle change.

Wow...

That crazy woman... she's started again, just like always.

She crawled on her knees, silently inching her way to his side.

Fang Qi wasn't nervous; he simply watched the scene unfold quietly.

The silver-haired girl moved closer to him, tilting her head slightly, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes...

She stared intently at his face!

A gentle, caring light shone in his amber left eye, while in his crimson pupil... a faint crimson hue was spreading from the depths of his pupil!

The curve of her lips... was gradually stiffening!

But Fang Qi looked at her familiar, almost demonic appearance...

Surprisingly, I wasn't scared at all.

On the contrary, he felt...

Does it feel familiar?

Crazy woman, you couldn't resist again!

Yes. It's good.

That's settled then. Let's turn to the dark side.

Then I don't care which ending I'm dragged into.

I'm too lazy to do anything anyway.

The silver-haired girl moved closer, her sweet strawberry scent brushing against his face.

She reached out, her slender fingertips gently resting on the back of his hand that held the teacup.

The crimson in his red eyes deepened, and the data stream almost overflowed from his pupils!

Fang Qi, however, remained calm as he looked at her.

He even thought that the shimmering light was quite cute.

I was even thinking about what kind of "eternity" this ending would be...

Then, he heard Li Guang speak softly.

The voice was very soft, as soft as a dream.

"Archie..."

Her voice remained soft, but carried a slight tremor of excitement.

She tilted her head slightly, a familiar sweet smile curving her lips.

"Did you... discover something?"

Fang Qi blinked, a slight chuckle in his heart.

Yes, I've found it.

I've discovered you're going to turn evil again, you crazy woman.

I've realized I'm about to get to a bad ending again.

so what?

Crazy woman, come on, this time I'm not going to...

...?

Wait a minute.

Ok?

Why does it feel like... something's not quite right?

Ah...right, it is...

……Um?!

Fang Qi's eyes widened suddenly.

...What did she just call him?!

He froze on the sofa!

The 52-degree tea in my hand wobbled and almost spilled!

Did she just call him... Archie?

Not the "master".

Yes……

Archie!

It was that dream that lasted for eighty-two years...

Liguang has been called that name by my name since my teenage years!

He didn't even realize what was happening!

Because he has been called that title for far too long!

Throughout those long years in that spiritual world, Li Guang called him "Aqi" thousands of times!

Eighty-two years have passed.

He's already used to hearing that!

So when that title slipped from Li Guang's lips on this morning of the fourth day, his first reaction was...

Hmm, what's wrong?

Then... goosebumps slowly crept up the back of my neck!

no……

...Huh?!

This... isn't right?!

His gaze fell upon the silver-haired girl kneeling beside him!

Li Guang still maintained that slightly tilted head posture.

The crimson hue spreading from the depths of his pupils grew increasingly intense!

The sweet curve at the corner of her lips was gradually tightening and rising... stretching into a slightly exaggerated sweet smile!

Fang Qi felt a dryness in his throat as he looked at her.

She...she still remembers?!

Could it be that she...really still remembers?!

But her current appearance doesn't seem like it either...

"Riko, what you just did..."

He paused, staring at the silver-haired girl's heterochromatic eyes, which had already turned crimson:

"What did you call me?"

Li Guang's smile became even sweeter.

She even leaned forward, her warm, strawberry-scented breath brushing against Fang Qi's face.

Then, in that cloyingly sweet voice, she blurted out almost unconsciously:

"Of course I'll call Master Archie!"

Then--

Even Li Guang herself was stunned!

The charming smile on her face was still on her lips, but suddenly it froze!

The amber-colored left eyelash trembled slightly, and the red-eyed data stream seemed to be stuck on a strange scene!

Her small mouth still held the slight curve from when she uttered the last word, her red lips slightly parted.

She was like... a beautiful doll that suddenly crashed!

Fang Qi stared blankly at her wide, bewildered heterochromatic eyes.

That crazy woman...

His face was now completely blank, as if he had just said something completely wrong!

This left him even more confused.

no……

Does she even remember?!

The two of them just stared at each other, wide-eyed.

In the early morning, only the ticking of the clock remained in the living room, and the tea was still steaming.

A few seconds felt like an eternity.

Then--

The silver-haired girl suddenly came to her senses!

"Master...!"

She trembled violently as if struck by lightning!

The delicate smile on her face froze, and immediately turned into helplessness and fear!

She practically scrambled away from Fang Qi, then with a "thump," she fell to her knees!

Her long, silver hair was scattered messily on the ground!

"I'm sorry, Master!"

"Riko...Riko actually disrespected her master...!"

Her voice trembled violently:

"How dare they... how dare they call their master by his name... and... and in that tone...!"

She raised her pretty face, her eyes red-rimmed, her amber left eye brimming with tears, and the data stream in her crimson right eye a jumbled mess!

"Master...Master, I'm sorry...Liguang didn't mean it..."

"I don't know why...why she called me that...why she said that..."

As she spoke, she pressed her forehead against the back of her hand again:

"Please forgive me, Master... I'll never do it again... Please don't hate me...!"

Fang Qi continued to stare blankly at her.

He looked at the silver-haired girl who had been giggling and ruthlessly approaching him one second, but was now panicking and begging for mercy the next.

Then--

A jolt of electricity shot up his back!

Feed...

Feed, feed, feed...!

Is it what he thinks?!

Yeah?!

She doesn't seem to be herself, but she seems...

It's her again!

That "Archie" just now... that name...!

That title that only Riko, who had been with him for eighty-two years, used in the previous playthrough...

That title... should absolutely never have come out of her mouth!

Fang Qi stared intently at the silver-haired girl kneeling on the ground before him!
