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

"No, no, absolutely not! If I did that, I'd be working during the day... and then... you at night... all year round! I'd die of overwork sooner or later!"

Qin Che, who was still slightly displeased by your firm reneging, curled the corners of his mouth when he heard your words.

Am I the kind of person who lacks self-control?

"You are! Believe me or not, even if I told you not to kiss me today, you couldn't do it." You said smugly, very certain of your judgment.

Qin Che paused for a moment, then replied, "Indeed."

"Huh? You just admit it like that? How boring, I thought you could say you could do it." You pouted.

"I can't do it." Qin Che shrugged, looking completely nonchalant.

There is a feeling of powerlessness as if punched on cotton.

And so, amidst all this nonsense, you returned to the castle.

Qin Che put all the strawberries in the castle's kitchen.

"What do you need to make jam? Think about it, I'll go get it for you."

"Hmm, let me think... I'd like sugar and lemons. Do you have any lemons here?"

"Yes, I made lemon tarts yesterday and had quite a bit left over." Qin Che turned around and took out a large jar of rock sugar from the cupboard.

I went to the refrigerator and got some lemons.

"Is this enough?"

"That's enough. Let's make the strawberry jam with red strawberries. Wash them for me first."

You picked up the basket of strawberries and came to the pond.

"Wait a minute." Qin Che walked up to you with an apron. "Put this on so your clothes don't get wet."

"Mmm, so thoughtful." You see him bend down to get your apron, and you can't help but peck him on the cheek.

Qin Che walked around behind you and tied the apron straps for you. "This isn't part of the compensation."

"You still remember!"

"Hmm? I remember every word you said, every single one of your syllables. It's not that easy to deny it now."

You glanced at him and said, "You're so unwilling to suffer any loss."

He then took an apron: "Help me."

"..." Hmm, Qin Che's style hasn't changed at all. "Okay, okay..."

You took some salt, sprinkled it into a basin filled with water, stirred the water with your hand to make sure the salt dissolved, poured in the strawberries, washed them clean, and then drained the water.

Then, together they removed the stems from the strawberries and cut them into small pieces. They then added rock sugar and strawberry pieces, mixed them well, and covered them with plastic wrap.

"Okay, it will take an hour."

You washed your hands and glanced at the time on your phone.

"Hmm, it's 4 o'clock now. I'll make the jam in a bit, and you can cook dinner. It's perfect to divide the work together."

Qin Che was also checking his phone at that moment.

A small red dot was clearly visible flashing in the Moments section.

Clicking on it leads to comments by Xue Ming and Xue Ying.

Xue Ming: My sister-in-law is so beautiful! She truly lives up to her reputation as our sister-in-law!!!

Xue Ying: Wow! Has the boss been officially announced?

You just happened to click into Moments at that moment.

I had expected it, but my prediction was too simplistic.

My WeChat Moments feed showed over 50 unread posts.

You're stunned! You're almost incredulous, even doubting how many friends you have on this chat app.

Tao Taotao: Tsk tsk tsk, showing off your love~ You finally let your family members show their faces?

Liu Xiaoyi: This strawberry farm is great! We can even see a castle there. Take us there next time! @AdorableLittleTanuki @TaoTaoTaoTao

Tao Tao replied to Liu Xiaoyi: Absolutely!

Liu Xiaoyi: Wow! Your family member's photography skills are getting better and better, and these special effects stickers are so pretty! What photo editing software did you use?
