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

You feel like you can't breathe.

"Qin Che, Qin Che? Could you loosen your grip a little?"

"No..." The voice was still hoarse, and warm breath brushed against your forehead.

You laboriously placed your hand across his chest, palm facing outwards, and mischievously pinched it twice.

But that person still showed no intention of letting go of you.

"Qin Che...I...I'm having some difficulty breathing, could you loosen your grip just a little bit...?"

After hearing your words, the person on top of you finally moved. You took advantage of this moment to look up and see his face.

Before you could even see his expression clearly, you felt two soft lips press down on you.

Qin Che's unique scent wafted over you, and he held you even tighter.

You did not resist the sudden kiss, but instead used it to comfort Qin Che, who was still feeling uneasy.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, and his kiss was more forceful than usual.

As you tilt your head back to meet his gaze, you reach out and gently stroke the back of his head.

The kiss ended as both of them were panting. You looked into his eyes, which were slightly darker than usual, and gently stroked the skin on his cheek with your slightly cool fingertips.

Hmm... it's your Qin Che...

"I'm sorry I made you worry..."

"I'm the one who should apologize. I couldn't protect you..." He tightened his grip on your arm, his still-anxious hand rubbing restlessly against your lower back. "It's so good... I can still feel your breath..."

"Well, I'm here."

Only then did you see Qin Che's current state clearly.

Very bad.

Dark circles under the eyes, pale complexion...

Even during that kiss just now, I could clearly feel his dry, chapped lips.

He probably hasn't had a proper rest at all during all these days since your accident...

You press your head against the side of his neck; this familiar embrace brings you immense peace, and you hope your warmth can give him some strength as well.

"How are you feeling?" A deep, husky voice came from above.

"Body?" Your mind went blank for a moment before you felt the dull pain and soreness coming from your limbs and chest.

"You've been unconscious for a day... The doctor checked on you three hours ago and gave you nutritional and restorative injections. If you're still not feeling well, I'll take you to the medical pod..."

You're a little confused. It sounds pretty serious, but apart from some pain, you don't feel anything else: "Then why am I not in the hospital?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, you guessed the reason, so you quickly replied, "I'm fine, I just feel a little pain, but otherwise I'm okay..." You hesitated for a moment before asking, "Qin Che, are you alright?"

Seeing that he didn't answer but just rubbed your hair, you could only sigh softly and then asked, "By the way, how are my teammates and the citizens?"

"When I took you away, Xue Ming and Xue Ying had already notified the Hunter Association to take over."

"Oh, that's good."

Qin Che seemed somewhat displeased that you had time to care about others right after waking up. After a moment's hesitation, he finally voiced his strange question: "What happened in that strange magnetic field?"
