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

"You promised to be good, and I'll give you candy later."

As you finished speaking, you remained calm thanks to your previous experience, focusing intently on controlling your body.

The black horse seemed not to heed your words of bribery; it continued to stubbornly thrash its body.

"Just let me know if you need help. You know I don't want to see you get hurt because of something like this."

"It's not that easy to get hurt! Don't underestimate me." You tightened the reins and focused intently on maneuvering the horse once again.

Finally, just before you were about to run out of energy, the dark horse's struggles weakened.

It worked!

Qin Che smiled and reminded him, "This is only the first step; you still have 100 meters to run."

"That's a huge step forward, victory is just ahead, I can already see it waving at me, you just wait to lose!" After stabilizing the horse, it became much easier to steer it.

With a quick squeeze of your calves and a gentle breath, the black horse began to trot along the horse track.

"It's just 100 meters, a few steps..."

Qin Che said firmly, "It's not time to issue an ultimatum yet."

His voice was carried away by the wind, unable to reach your ears as you galloped on horseback; the finish line was just around the corner.

Just imagining Qin Che's embarrassed expression makes you feel a sense of satisfaction. Just then, a distant whistle comes from behind.

The black horse's trotting pace suddenly slowed down. With a soft neigh, it turned around and ran off in the opposite direction!

"You bastard Qin Che! Don't listen to him, turn around now! I even prepared some candy for you! Turn around now~" You gripped the reins tightly while gently patting the horse's neck.

Unfortunately, the dark horse ignored your desperate cries and, as if it were eager to return home, brought you back to Qin Che amidst your resentful gaze.

"Hmm? Why are you back? This horse doesn't seem to listen to you very well." Qin Che's teasing voice reached your ears.

"Trying to cheat me at the last minute, huh?!" You bared your teeth at him fiercely.

Qin Che pulled down the reins, and the horse lowered its head to him, pulling you in front of that smug face.

"People need to learn to accept the consequences of their bets." Qin Che shrugged, his face radiating an irritating aura. "You're still a little short on the skill level to tame my things."

"My dear, listen to what he's saying! He called you an object! My dear, I feel sorry for you. If you were to fall into my arms today, you would be my treasure. Don't you really want to consider it?" You still wouldn't give up, clinging to the horse's neck and struggling desperately.

Qin Che smiled helplessly: "Are you sure it can understand?"

"Hmph! You two are annoying! You're both!"

"The white horse we prepared for you is also very beautiful. Are you sure you don't want to go take a look?"

"Hurry up and leave..."

......

On the sofa in the manor's living room, Qin Che lit the fireplace and poured you a glass of wine.

Qin Che leaned back on the sofa, his posture relaxed: "Your face right now is written all over with the words 'lingering resentment'."

You tilt your head back and drink the amber liquid from the glass.

"Then your face is practically screaming treachery, cunning, and the triumph of a wicked scheme." You squinted at him. "Is something powerful only tamed by someone stronger?"

"Of course, the weak submit to the strong, and the tamed bow down to the tamed."

Disagreeing with him, you grabbed the necklace he wore on his chest as Qin Che poured the third glass of wine while you were drinking the second one.
