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

“What I want…” Your fingertips traced the famous painting on the wall, and you lifted your skirt to sit on the throne at the end of the steps.

His gaze fell on the dragon as he stepped onto the last step, and just as he leaned forward, he reached out and gently pulled him back.

"To live as you please, and to die passionately and without regrets."

Nose to nose, breath to breath, eyes to eyes, your heartbeats intertwine in resonance.

You planted a deep kiss on his lips...

Light and shadow shimmered in his eyes, and he gradually curved his lips into a smile. With a flick of his tail, you were caught off guard and pulled closer by his arm around your waist.

Do you know what your soul smells like?

Meeting your gaze, he defiantly lowered his head inch by inch, his breath brushing against the rising and falling pulse on your neck.

"Like strong liquor with salt added... it boils forever, never satisfied."

A shiver seemed to rise from deep within my body, and the brand in my neck felt like it was burning, bringing an unprecedented burning pain.

Pain makes your brain more alert.

What is boiling inside the dragon's body right now?

"And what about you?" You didn't back away. At such close range, you raised your hand and gently touched his eyelashes. "What...is your desire?"

Am I one of them...?

The fading sunset cast a hazy glow over everything, settling on his brow bone and rolling over his Adam's apple.

He didn't speak.

You thought it was tacit consent, but just before you touched his right eye, your wrist was suddenly gripped tightly.

The instant your skin touches, a few flashes of crimson light appear before your eyes.

A blood-soaked boy turned around in the unfathomable darkness; it looked like...

His past...

It's his past that he's always been unwilling to reveal to you...

"You're asking too many questions." His tone was more agitated than ever before.

The illusion was pierced by that sound, and you came back to your senses.

Qin Che has released your hand, and as he turns away, an ominous bloodlust flashes in his eyes.

Your heart inexplicably begins to race.

"Qin Che! Where are you going!" You hurriedly called out to him.

"I never ask where you go."

A completely emotionless answer suddenly exploded in your heart.

You chuckled to yourself, "Unfortunately, I can't learn to be that tactful."

The brand on my shoulder throbbed with a burning pain, and the bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.

You go around to his front and block his way.

"Qin Che, weren't those guards enough?"

"...What?" His eyes were filled with obvious anxiety.

Are you still going to hide it from me?

You brushed the hair away from your neck, revealing the mark he had left behind.

"Actually... every time you crave killing, this mark you left on me also stirs up." You pursed your lips, looked directly into his eyes, and continued, "Recently, it's been flaring up more and more frequently, but you've never thought to explain anything to me, making my worry seem utterly ridiculous!"

He just looked at you without saying a word.

You stepped forward and, without hesitation, touched his eyes again.

The moment the skin touched again, the brand suddenly burned, and a familiar, excruciating pain enveloped the entire body.

A contemptuous laugh escaped from his throat.

You staggered, trying to back away, but there was a vague sense of connection that bound you tightly to him.

"You've crossed the line time and time again... Besides your desires, your audacity has grown with each passing moment."
