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

You need to hurry up and finish. The water is so cold; if you stay in it for too long, you might catch a cold.

There's a slight tickling sensation around my feet; it's probably some small fish nibbling at my skin.

You looked up and glanced at Qin Che on the shore, making sure he was still there, before deciding to get up.

The water was so cold that you couldn't help but shiver on the way back.

After taking only two steps, I felt a sharp pain in my calf.

"Wow!"

The worst fears came true; you predictably fell into the water.

You frowned and touched your cramped calf, trying to climb out of the pool in a disheveled state.

Unfortunately, the bottom of the pool was too slippery, and the more anxious I became, the less likely I was to find a good foothold.

He wanted to call out to Qin Che, but only managed to drink a few more mouthfuls of water from the pool.

You endured the excruciating pain in your feet and calmed yourself down. The water where you were wasn't deep, and even if you just knelt down, you could save your life.

While they were still struggling, their bodies were lifted up by a force.

You have finally escaped that chilling, terrifying pool of water.

Her naked body pressed tightly against his warm chest, wanting to hold him even tighter.

The hard scales stung your skin, but the intense heat made you reluctant to let go even a little.

“You’re shaking.” His voice sounded unhappy.

You tried to control yourself, trying not to let your voice tremble so much: "Um, I'm a little cold..."

"Why take a bath if you're afraid of the cold?"

"You might not know this, but there's something called hot water." For some reason, you feel like laughing at times like this.

The dragon was held tightly, and could clearly feel the vibrations in your chest: "...You can still laugh?"

"I'm just a little cold, why can't I smile? Are you being unreasonable?"

"You're trying to reason with the devil?"

"Okay, okay, you're right." You were speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

The dragon flew to the shore, picked up your original clothes, and casually wrapped them around your back.

Then it flew you back to its nest.

He wanted to put you on the stone bed, but you clung to him tightly and wouldn't let go.

"open."

"No, don't let go of me, hold me a little longer, I'm so cold..." Your voice was pleading.

He frowned but didn't force you to let go. Instead, he went to his pile of treasures, found a blanket, and wrapped it around you.

They then lit a fire in the open space next to the stone bed.

Even after all that, he could feel your body still trembling slightly.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you still shivering? What can I do to stop feeling cold?"

"You've done enough. I'll be fine in a bit."

You sensed his irritability at that moment, perhaps because you were indeed too much trouble.

You loosened your arms around him and reached for the blanket.

You felt that strong hand press you back down the moment your bodies separated.

You paused for two seconds, a hint of warmth rising in your eyes, and a beautiful smile unconsciously curved your lips.

"Don't move..." a dragon said impatiently.

Seeing his reaction, your courage grew rapidly: "Besides hugging, I have a faster way to keep warm."

"what?"

You put your arms around his shoulders again and looked up to meet his unpleasant expression.

There's nothing to hesitate about anymore...

His lips, slightly cool, touched hers.

It is a clash of ice and fire.

The body, which had been shivering with cold just moments before, warmed up rapidly after a kiss.
