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

"Umbrella?"

You looked at Qin Che walking towards you, holding two transparent umbrellas in your hands, and asked in confusion.

Qin Che walked to your side and took your hand with the one that wasn't holding the umbrella: "Well, the staff here said that this is a specially made umbrella. It's very sturdy and can be used as a hiking stick or an umbrella. They said that it can rain at any time in the mountains, and the weather forecast is inaccurate. If you want to hike up the mountain on your own, it's better to have an umbrella just in case."

"I see. Let's go then."

You nodded, took Qin Che's warm and large hand, and the two of you stepped onto the stone steps at the foot of the mountain.

This vast mountain area is covered with lush vegetation, as if a tender green ocean has submerged the entire mountain range.

The trees were tall and winding, their branches and leaves intertwined to form a huge natural sunshade.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, falling gently to the ground like silver threads.

The man-made stone steps resemble a winding dragon, lying quietly in the mountains.

The steps here are clearly well-maintained, appearing exceptionally clean and smooth.

Besides the rustling of leaves in the breeze, there were also bursts of birdsong all around.

I don't know what kind of bird it is, but its voice is exceptionally clear and pleasant.

"This place is really beautiful, it feels like it can cleanse your soul." You tilted your head and said to Qin Che, who was walking in step with you. "I wonder how close this place is to the hunting reserve. I don't want such a beautiful place to be destroyed."

"You're overthinking it. Why do you think the owner of the resort hotel chose this place? If the risk factor is too high, no matter how beautiful it is, no one would be willing to invest too much in it." Qin Che curled his lips and gently tapped the ground with the hand holding the umbrella. "All the beautiful aspects you see are the result of countless manpower and money being poured into its maintenance."

"You seem to know a lot about this place." You look at the man in front of you with admiration in your eyes. "This hotel isn't your property either, is it?"

Qin Che chuckled softly. He didn't answer your question, but instead pulled you along as you slowly walked up the steps.

"Why aren't you answering me? Does that mean you agree?" You tugged at your clasped hands.

"That's it."

"Yes or no, what do you mean by 'sort of'?" You pouted and pulled him to a resting platform, making it clear that you wouldn't let him leave until you explained yourself.

Qin Che simply sat down with you on the stone benches that had been built nearby: "The management and operation are entirely handed over to others; I can only be considered an investor."

"Oh~~~~~ So that means I don't have to worry about anything, I just have to collect my dividends and money." You stroked your chin and made a conclusion.

"That's pretty much what you mean." Qin Che took a bottle of water out of his bag and handed it to you.

Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, he said, "If you like this place so much, I can transfer the shares of this hotel to you. That way, you won't have to work and you'll still have money coming in. What do you think of my suggestion?"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough!!!" Upon hearing Qin Che's words, you immediately and uncontrollably spat out the water in your mouth.

"So happy? That's a bit of an overreaction..."
