Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

"120."

Seeing that almost no one was bidding anymore, and after the auctioneer had already brought down the hammer, you called out this price.

I thought we had it in the bag, but then a male voice came from your right.

"125."

"1.3 million." You didn't look for the person bidding against you, but simply added another 50,000.

The man followed closely behind: "140 million."

The sound of conversation began to rise softly, indicating that the price had already far exceeded the value of the wine itself.

The host was naturally very excited to see the first item create such a lively atmosphere.

You turned to Qin Che, who was sitting next to you, and whispered, "Should we take more pictures?"

"If you want something, just bid on it. You backed down after only the first item. Isn't that a bit too early?"

“…” You rolled your eyes at him and said irritably, “I did my research beforehand, okay? No matter how much money you have, you can’t be a sucker. It’s already way over the limit, there’s no point in bidding any more.”

"What, feeling sorry for my wallet?" Qin Che raised an eyebrow and pinched your cheek.

"What's yours is mine, but that's just me being careful with my own wallet, okay?" You pulled his hand away, then slipped your own hand between his fingers and placed it on his lap.

While you two were talking, the bottle of wine was auctioned off to a VIP for 140 million.

You didn't think much of it until you failed to photograph the first three bottles of wine, at which point you seemed to come to your senses.

"Someone is deliberately competing with you," Qin Che pointed it out directly.

"I've found him." You glanced in the direction of the voice. "Qin Che, could it be someone you know? One of your enemies?"

Qin Che tightened his grip on your hand and replied, "No, if it were my enemy, they would just blow this place up, not play such childish tricks."

"Those are my enemies? Impossible, how could I possibly know someone as wealthy as you..."

Halfway through your sentence, you seem to remember something. Could it be that person from earlier?

Seeing your strange expression, Qin Che asked, "What's wrong? Have you figured out who it is?"

"Well, probably, maybe, possibly, there is one..."

You told him what happened after he left, and Qin Che listened attentively.

"I never expected this person to be so petty and vindictive, to pull this stunt on me."

To be honest, you're pretty speechless.

"So, are you going to get revenge?" Qin Che asked, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Someone's bringing me some fun, so of course I'll play along." You twirl the number plate in your hand and grin.

"The following is the fourth item, a Leoville Knight Montrachet from xx year, with a starting price of 170,000."

You raise your sign: "200 million."

A commotion erupted as everyone turned to look at them with curiosity.

Of course, the person who is deliberately trying to oppose you is also among them.

"210."

They arrived, and the man started raising the price.

"300 million." You only felt a murderous gaze directed at you that day, but you didn't even spare him a glance.

"305 million." Unfortunately, the man didn't give up and started raising the price again.

"400."

The conversations inside the meeting room grew louder.

"400 million each time..." The auctioneer urged both sides to give a bang with the gavel.

They paused for a moment, seemingly still not entirely resigned.

"450 million." This adds another 50.
