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

I would be delighted if you agreed, but I'm here today to take care of some personal business.

"Private matters? What private matters? You have private matters related to the Hunter Association? The General Association asked you to buy cores?" You turned around in place, but still couldn't find Qin Che.

[This is a rather high-level secret; if you'd like to know, I can tell you.]

"No, no, I don't want to know. Then..." You hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Does the person you're working with know you? You know what I mean..."

Are you afraid I'll get arrested?

"Nonsense!" You were a little annoyed by his nonchalant attitude.

Then another burst of heart-wrenching laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Could you please stop laughing? I know you're so strong that there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still worried!"

"Hmm, it's nice to hear that my wife is worried about me. How about we wait for each other after get off work?"

"Hey! Don't change the subject at a time like this!"

You're so angry you're jumping up and down, and this guy just loves to tease you at times like these.

Lift your head.

At this moment, Qin Che, dressed in a formal suit, appears in your field of vision.

White hair, red eyes, so handsome it makes your heart flutter.

He held his phone in one hand, a clear smile on his lips, and walked towards you with that classic male model gait.

"Did you see me?"

"Anyone with eyes can see this. Why did you come over here? Weren't you going to take care of some personal business?"

If I don't come over, am I supposed to just run headfirst into you?

"Hehe...that joke is kind of funny, but a bit inappropriate..." You gave an awkward laugh, trying to hide your nervousness. "Everyone in this building is my colleague...!"

I know, there are a few I've seen before, and the people following behind me are my colleagues.

"You actually brought people with you today?"

Is that really so unbelievable?

"You always find it cumbersome."

My cat understands me best...

"Can you please not come over?"

What? Are they going to have another secret relationship?

"No, if my colleagues see it, they'll interrogate me again..."

【Okay...】

"So you're... going to put on a show of just passing by me?"

"...You're standing at the entrance of the corridor, and I need to get into that corridor. The passage is only so wide, could you please move aside?"

"..."

You watched Qin Che walk straight past you, and you couldn't believe that he had actually left like that.

A mocking voice came from the other end of the phone again.

You seem a little disappointed that I didn't greet you face-to-face.

"...No, you didn't see wrong. I am very grateful for your mercy in sparing my life."

Have you ever heard the phrase "trying to cover up something only makes it more obvious"?

"You're avoiding me so deliberately, and keeping your distance. Your colleagues who have met me will only find it more strange, and you won't escape that interrogation later."

"They saw you?" You nervously glanced around at your surroundings, looking for any "suspicious" people.

Don't be so nervous, that's just one possible scenario I'm considering.

"You make it sound so nice, but you're just trying to scare me..." Your gaze fell on the corner where Qin Che disappeared.

Another soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.

I have a feeling that a certain kitten started missing me as soon as I left.
