Chapter 97 |
Fang Qi held the constantly vibrating phone...
He felt a bit dazed!
He had only been on the island for a day!
He hadn't picked up enough seashells!
He had only eaten one seafood feast!
The romantic night of holding his wife and watching the stars...
He had only enjoyed it for one night!
But in the end...
An Lian was already coming to hunt him down?
Then what was the point of slacking off?
What kind of vacation was this!
This game might as well be renamed "Surviving on a Deserted Island with Yanderes"!
"Master... are you not going to answer?"
Liguang was still kneeling on the ground, her voice coming through muffled.
Although her tone sounded like persuasion, it carried a trace of... poorly concealed reluctance!
Nonsense...
How could she be willing!
This crazy woman's mind was currently filled with "this is the private world for me and my master"!
As a result, her "love rival's" phone call was coming through!
Although she was kneeling properly, her fingers gripping her skirt hem hadn't stopped for a moment!
But you crazy woman...
Isn't this all because of yourself, insisting on showing off to Lin Xiaoyou!
"Answer what..."
Fang Qi muttered, his thumb hovering over the red reject button, hesitating for half a second.
And then—
His heart stirred!
Wait, it seemed he could...
He immediately pressed the green answer button!
"Hello?"
"Senior—!!!"
A scream exploded from the receiver, almost piercing his eardrums!
"Hiss—!"
He subconsciously held the phone a bit further away!
But Lin Xiaoyou's crying yet excitedly cracking voice still echoed clearly in the room!
"Senior, you finally answered the phone!"
"You scared me to death, do you know that! I thought something happened to you!"
"Why did you suddenly take a leave of absence and turn off your phone!"
"Where did you and Liguang go? What does Liguang mean by a private world? Did you two elope?!"
"Why didn't you take me... ah no, why didn't you tell me!"
A series of questions fired over like a machine gun!
Fang Qi didn't even have a chance to interrupt!
It wasn't until Lin Xiaoyou finished speaking that he managed to squeeze out a dry sentence:
"...I'm on vacation."
"Vacation?!"
Lin Xiaoyou's voice went up another octave:
"Where? Where are you vacationing? I want to go too! Senior, tell me the address! I'm begging you!"
"I haven't used my annual leave yet! I'll go ask for leave right now! I can arrive today! Today the supervisor even said I was in bad shape and told me to go home and rest for a few days!"
Fang Qi: "..."
No...
You want to come too?!
He glanced at Liguang, who was still kneeling.
The silver-haired girl still maintained the posture of her forehead touching the ground, but...
Her slender hands crossed in front of her, the fingertips were tightening!
They had even... dug into the cracks of the floorboards!
Digging hard!
This crazy woman was already extremely displeased!
However...
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was obvious that this save file... was already ruined!
Just the fact that Dawn Company knew the island's location and An Lian was coming...
Could this island ever be peaceful again?
With Liguang in this state...
She probably wouldn't even survive a single inspection!
His dream private world of sunshine, beaches, seashells, and seafood...
Snap, it was gone.
Completely gone!
Since that was the case, he might as well...
Just smash the broken pot!
Anyway...
He didn't want to achieve any [Eternal Love] ending anymore!
The main quest had long been thrown out of his mind!
Right now... he was just a pitiful player who wanted to slack off but was being brutally besieged!
Since that was the case, why not let nature take its course?
Besieged?
Come! All of you come! Just come!
Let the storm come even fiercer!
Let An Lian come!
Lin Xiaoyou? Come too!
Let this little yandere see with her own eyes how her "private world" is ruthlessly shattered!
And then... turn dark!
Wait for her to clean up everyone, or simply...
Drag him into some bloody ending!
Then he could reload his save and start over!
Back to the early morning of the fourth day, before that cup of 52-degree tea!
Everything would start anew!
Next time, he definitely...
Would strike first and make the crazy woman turn dark on the spot!
Then take her and fly far away, completely eliminating An Lian, Lin Xiaoyou, Gu Xi... any factors that could interfere with his slacking!
Although if Liguang turned dark, it might hurt him a lot...
But... so be it!
This crazy woman could destroy herself for him, so... why couldn't he endure a little pain for her?
He was already fearless!
Bring it on!
As for whether he could immediately fly far away right now...
It wasn't impossible, but the problem was...
He didn't have enough money!
Buying this private island had almost used up most of the inheritance he received as a game character!
The remaining money was enough for him and Liguang to live for a lifetime, but the premise was... they had to stay here forever.
If they left immediately now, repurchasing real estate, preparing living supplies, dealing with various emergencies...
Not enough money.
Really not enough.
Therefore, he had to reload!
Return to the morning of the fourth day and try slacking off again!
At that time, he would have plenty of funds and could take Liguang wherever he wanted!
...A perfect plan!
Fang Qi looked at the phone screen, at Lin Xiaoyou's new messages that were still popping up madly...
A smug smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, his plan falling into place.
Seeking death to reload?
He was a professional!
"Xiaoyou."
Fang Qi spoke, his tone suddenly becoming exceptionally amiable:
"You want to come play, right?"
The other end of the phone was quiet for a second, and then erupted with a more enthusiastic response:
"Yes, yes, yes! I really want to! Senior, you're willing to let me go?!"
"Of course."
Fang Qi smiled, his fingers swiping quickly on the phone screen, finding the location sharing—
Send.
"I sent you the address. The scenery is nice, you're welcome anytime."
"Wow—!!!!"
Lin Xiaoyou's scream almost burst through the receiver!
"Senior, I love you—! I'm going to ask for leave right now! Today! No, immediately! I'm setting off right now! Wait for me!!!"
The phone was hung up.
Fang Qi put down the phone, his mood suddenly... incredibly comfortable!
He turned his head to look at the cup of tea still emitting curling hot steam on the coffee table.
Save point.
Can't drink it!
If he drank it, he wouldn't be able to go back, and he would be completely tied down by this island!
He cleared his throat and looked at the silver-haired girl still kneeling on the ground.
Liguang had already raised her head slightly.
Through the gaps in her silver hair, those heterochromatic eyes...
Were looking at him quietly, her gaze seemingly very docile.
But her fingers digging into the floor... were almost digging holes into the wooden cracks!
It was obvious that Fang Qi inviting Lin Xiaoyou just now... made her very unhappy!
But... not to the point of making her turn dark yet.
Well, taking advantage of this opportunity, he still wanted to enjoy the tranquility of this island one last time!
And then...
Crazy woman, your master will take you to a place where no one can find us!
Until the end of time!
"Liguang."
Fang Qi spoke, his voice relaxed:
"This tea is cold, pour it out. Brew me a new cup."
Saying so, he turned and walked out the door.
He planned to go to the beach to sunbathe for a while, enjoying the calm before the storm.
"..."
However, there was no response from Liguang behind him.
Fang Qi: "?"
He paused his steps and looked back in confusion.
Liguang was still kneeling there.
However, she had straightened her upper body.
Her hands rested obediently on her knees. She tilted her face up slightly to look at him, her heterochromatic eyes appearing exceptionally translucent in the sunlight filtering through the wooden window, little stars gently swaying within them.
Her expression was also extraordinarily docile.
But...
Fang Qi frowned slightly.
Why wasn't this crazy woman moving?
"Liguang?"
He called out again.
Looking at her gaze, although it was still gentle and soft, he couldn't help but feel...
A bit empty? Like she was spacing out?
Or like she was... struggling?
"Liguang?"
Fang Qi walked back to her, crouched down, and looked her in the eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Liguang blinked.
Her long silver eyelashes cast tiny shadows in the sunlight.
She shook her head gently, her voice very soft.
"It is nothing, Master."
Liguang moved.
She reached out a slender hand, picked up the still-warm cup of tea from the coffee table, and stood up.
Fang Qi was still crouching on the ground. He looked up at her, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart.
Hmm... seems like there is no problem?
It looks like she was just a bit too jealous just now?
But even if she had gone totally yandere right now, it wouldn't be a big deal...
However, Liguang didn't go to change the tea. Instead, she looked down at him, the corners of her lips...
...curving into a textbook gentle smile.
"Master."
She said softly, her voice as sweet and soft as melted cotton candy.
"Tea should be drunk while it is hot for the best effect."
Fang Qi: "...?"
Before he could even process what she meant by that—
The silver-haired girl suddenly leaned down!
One hand still steadily holding the teacup, while her other hand—
...pinched his chin with astonishing speed and precision!
Her slender fingers gripped his jaw, applying just the right amount of force to...
...force his mouth open!
"Wait—?! Mmph!!!"
Fang Qi only had time to let out a short gasp!
The warm liquid was poured right down his throat!
Fang Qi: "???????"
