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

Castle kitchen.

"Then it's up to you today, my head chef~~" You leaned on the island counter with one hand, your eyes sparkling as you looked at Qin Che, who was ready to get started. "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

"Yes, there is. Tie an apron on me first," Qin Che said, looking up at you.

"Okay." You followed his gaze, found the apron, took it, and walked to his side.

Qin Che lowered his head to make it easier for you to move.

As you put it on him, you can't help but think: "Tsk tsk tsk, if he could wear the apron without a bra, it would definitely be a different story."

The more you thought about it, the more lewd your eyes became, and Qin Che accurately caught your expression.

"What inappropriate things are you thinking about now?" Qin Che teased, raising an eyebrow.

"Qin Che! Stop trying to read my mind!!!" You were startled by his words and felt guilty for a moment. You quickly went behind him and tied the straps on his back.

Muttering to himself, "You've read it all, but you don't even put it into practice? You have no self-discipline at all?"

"Does that little kitten think I can't hear you just because I can't see your face?" Qin Che scooped you up from behind and pulled you to the island counter, pinching your feigned innocent face as he said, "Your idea isn't entirely unreasonable... but..." He paused deliberately, then gently wiped your lower lip before continuing, "This meal is only half-finished, and we might not even get to eat it before we have to do something else..."

You pushed him away slightly, poked him a few times in the chest, and said, "My dear chef, it's not right of you to frighten your mistress like that..."

Qin Che bent down and moved closer to you, breathing hot air near your lips: "Whether it's a bluff or not, you'll know once you try it."

You quickly leaned back a little more, because even though there was no one around, the thought of being in such a place... was still rather embarrassing.

You ducked down, quickly escaping Qin Che's encirclement, and ran a few steps to hide at the kitchen doorway, only your head peeking out. You didn't forget to try and salvage the situation: "I...I'm a decent person, hurry up and cook your meal, or I'll dock your pay if I get hungry!"

Qin Che chuckled softly as he watched you flee in disarray.

......

While strolling through the castle garden, you don't forget to peek through the window of Qin Che's kitchen.

Watching Qin Che's busy figure, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.

"Almost done, come over here." Qin Che waved to you outside the window.

Back in the kitchen, you couldn't resist showing off the flowers you'd cut in the garden: "I saw a vase on that shelf over there; I'll put this on the table later."

Qin Che glanced at the bouquets of various sizes and colors in your hands and curled the corners of his lips: "Your taste..."

"Shut up!" You glared at someone with murderous intent.

His low chuckle echoed in my ears again, "What I want to say is, it's very unique."

"Hmph, I don't believe it!" You grinned at him. "Go, go, go, get me the vase."

"Here you go." Qin Che selected an exquisitely crafted crystal vase, filled it halfway with water, and handed it to you.

After you put the flowers in the vase, you admired them to yourself and found that they looked surprisingly good together.

"It looks beautiful. I'll have it with me for dinner tonight!" You admire your masterpiece with satisfaction.
