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

He glanced at you sideways without replying.

"I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering me...?"

Even when he ignored you, you didn't get discouraged. While eating the food he brought back for you, you persevered and continued to start a conversation.

You both tacitly avoided mentioning that kiss.

Sometimes, when the dragon gets tired of hearing it, it will fly out of the cave.

At this point, you'll quiet down again and continue sitting there in a daze.

After this happened several times, the dragon noticed your unusual behavior.

Your emotions are only normal when he's around.

If you can't see him, you'll feel extremely depressed.

That evening, he brought home a little lynx.

He simply threw the little lynx into the cave and didn't show up himself.

When you saw that furry little thing, you were initially very happy.

"Qin Che, why is there a kitten? Did you bring it back?"

The girl's voice was high-pitched, and you could hear the joy in it.

But after calling out several times without receiving a response, the girl picked up the kitten and sat back down on the stone bed.

Her hand, adorned with numerous jeweled rings, gently stroked the kitten's not-so-smooth fur, but the smile on her face gradually faded.

After observing for a while, the dragon made some noise, pretending that it had just returned.

He already regretted it a little when he stepped into the cave.

He felt incredibly foolish, wondering why he was doing all this unnecessary work.

Your voice interrupted his chaotic thoughts.

"Qin Che, you're back? You caught this kitten to play with me, right?" Your smile returned to your face.

"No..." As he finished speaking, he adjusted himself into a comfortable position, avoiding your eyes, and lay down on the stone bed.

"Don't try to fool me. It's so small, it looks like it was just weaned. How could it possibly be in a place like this?" You turned around and moved in front of him, holding the kitten up to his line of sight. "It's clearly you, don't deny it."

He didn't answer, but closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Should we keep it? It doesn't seem like it can chew rye bread, and it probably doesn't eat fruit either. Did you bring any meat in the food you brought back today?" You went on and on about the precautions for keeping a cat, and the more Long listened, the more his brows furrowed.

"trouble."

The little lynx trembled with fear after hearing the dragon's roar.

You picked it up again and said, "If you find it troublesome, you should send it back. It probably doesn't want to be here either."

"Are you implying that I should send you back to White Obsidian City?" Long opened his eyes and said with a dangerous look in them.

"No, it's just the literal meaning."

"Want to send it back? You should know that even if it goes back, it might not live any longer than if it stays here."

You look into his eyes and feel that he is also giving you a hint.

"Perhaps it wants to go back? At least its family is there waiting for it to return."

"Ha...family...when faced with the problem of survival, its family will not hesitate to eat the weaker one first."

"..."

Perhaps his initial intention in bringing this little lynx home wasn't to tell you these things.

He simply thought you might like these fluffy little things.

Fortunately, the discussion about the little lynx ended with the decision to return it after the rainstorm subsided.
