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

"Where's the surprise for me? Aren't you going to show it to me?" Qin Che picked you up and walked straight to the sofa to sit down.

"Oh dear, can you lower your expectations a little? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed when you see it." Seeing him bring it up again, you can't help but worry that the little gift won't meet his expectations.

"No, give it to me." Qin Che held out his hand to you.

You placed a hand-woven bracelet in Qin Che's palm.

"This rope with the stone hanging from it is quite unique. Is it a little trinket you found there today?"

"Yes, I bought the stone from an old lady's stall, and the thread for the bracelet was bought at the market near the cave."

"So you've been secretly doing so many things behind my back." Qin Che withdrew his gaze from your face and turned it to the bracelet in your palm.

"Who's sneaking around! So, do you like it or not? This is a pendant I made myself, specially to tie to you. How about it, are you scared?"

Qin Che smirked and picked up the bracelet: "You think you can tie me down with just a rope?"

"If this rope can't hold you up, then I'll braid an even thicker one, as thick as a hemp rope, and that will definitely be able to hold you up."

"What do you plan to do after you're tied up?" Qin Che asked with a hint of interest.

"Hmph, you really have no idea what this is." You said coquettishly, and explained to him very seriously, "Don't let its small size and seemingly low value fool you, this is a cat's eye stone safety pendant, which can help you keep safe and sound."

"It doesn't sound very reliable." Qin Che's warm fingertips caressed the bracelet. "But since you made it yourself, I still want to admire it."

Your eyes sparkled as you stared at him. Qin Che looked at the bracelet, then at you, his voice still tinged with amusement: "Hmm, it's fastened really tight, really... impressive."

You pouted and said, "Okay, fine... if you don't want it, give it back to me."

After saying that, he tried to snatch the bracelet back.

Qin Che moved swiftly and nimbly dodged your hand.

"Who said I don't want it anymore? Put it on for me." He hung the bracelet on his left wrist and held it out in front of you, gesturing for your help.

"You don't believe in these things, do you?" you muttered to yourself, but your hands didn't hesitate at all.

“I don’t expect it to keep you safe, just to put your mind at ease.” He raised his wrist, looked at the bracelet that fit him perfectly, and continued, “But considering how often you get injured, I feel like you need it more than I do.”

"I'm not the one who always gets hurt, it's you! You should take care of yourself first. Can't we avoid unnecessary injuries?"

Seeing how worried you were about him, Qin Che was quite pleased: "So you gave me the cat's eye stone because you wanted to keep an eye on me like a cat's eye?"

"What's wrong! I just want to keep an eye on you! Every single second! I don't want to miss a single moment of anything about you..." you said righteously. "Tell me, don't you think I'm being too clingy?"

"Hmm, very good, I like your clinginess..." Qin Che pinched your puffed-up little face and smiled with a doting expression.

"Actually, there's another reason I gave you this. Look, this cat's eye is very similar to your eyes. It's sensitive to light and likes to be at night." You snuggled into his arms, pulled his wrist to your front, and the two of you looked at the cat's eye stone woven into the bracelet.

"Um......"

"Moreover, cat's eye stones have another meaning. Would you like to hear it?" You turned your head to look at Qin Che.
