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

As you feel life slipping away, you see his wounds gradually healing.

"Qin Che, did you already know that we would instinctively want to devour each other?" You leaned on his shoulder and asked softly, as if chatting casually, "Then why did you save me in the abyss in the first place?"

His fingertips slipped between yours, tightening their grip: "And what about you? Why didn't you just attack me directly earlier?"

"I told you... but... you never believe me..."

In the brief silence filled with moonlight, Qin Che raised his hand and gently stroked your cheek.

The next moment, a kiss as light as a falling flower landed on her lips.

Your hands and feet trembled and went limp, and you gazed into his eyes for a long time.

No longer a chaotic and unfathomable darkness...

At this moment, you can finally see his eyes clearly.

His voice was still low and hoarse: "The demon will meet his destined nemesis here. He was right."

"I told you I'd give you two more chances to kill me, and now you only have one chance left."

In that instant, your anxious heart became even more resolute, and you grasped his hand in return.

"You're only half right!" You look him straight in the eye. "I've also said I'm greedy, capricious, and hate being controlled. If fate requires me to kill a demon..."

A warm, pale golden light emanated from your palm, and you pressed that light onto the wound in Qin Che's heart.

"I'll do whatever he wants. I'm going to save you, and nobody can stop me!"

"Save me? Do you know what price that will cost you?" Qin Che's eyes were filled with endless emotion.

"Once we hold hands now, we will be bound together for life and death."

You murmur, "Give up half of your soul and merge it into the other's... to establish a connection that can never be broken."

He seemed to still want you to reconsider: "To coexist with a demon is probably a more painful punishment than having your soul devoured. Are you really not going to regret it?"

You met his eyes, your eyebrows curving upwards: "Qin Che, I've said I'm not afraid to pay any price. To live and die with you is no punishment to me. If following one's heart's desires is a sin, then you and I are the last of our kind in this world."

The moonlight replaced the candlelight to ignite the night, and amidst the overlapping heartbeats, he kissed the inside of your wrist with almost reverence.

"Then, stand by my side forever."

Under the moonlight, the dragon's tail embraces you, drawing you into its arms.

He spread half of his dragon wings to shield himself from the cold wind and the sudden rain that fell in the middle of the night.

Hot lips pressed against yours...

You know the dragon's wounds are still there, he's still weak...

"What's there to be nervous about... I just want to sleep for a while, it's not like I'm dead..."

"But you're so badly injured, you might not wake up if you fall asleep..."

"By the way, I'd like to hear you play that piece again."

The black auditorium resembled a dark illusion.

The conversation was so familiar that it felt like you were just having a very long dream.

When you wake up from the dream, you are still in Qin Che's arms.

Do you remember whether you finished playing that piece that day?

But that was a requiem, a song for the dead.

You seem to know clearly that the dream is still going on, for a very, very long time...

It is the happiness woven together by your intertwined souls...
