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

"Your phone still has power, right? Aren't you going to leave me with evidence of my crimes?" Qin Che slightly raised his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He wore the pirate hat at a jaunty angle, tossing his head casually, the tassels billowing in the wind and sliding down his shoulder. His gaze from under the brim was blatantly mocking, whether it was a provocation or an invitation, it was hard to tell.

You rolled your eyes dramatically, a slight smile playing on your lips, revealing a helpless expression that said, "I'll spoil my own husband." You said, "I've never heard of such a strange request."

Qin Che leaned closer to you, tilting his head slightly, his eyes fixed on you, his voice carrying a hint of seduction: "So, do you want to refuse?"

You gave a soft hum, and although you didn't say you agreed, you had already raised your phone, stretched out your arm to adjust the angle of the camera, and leaned in slowly towards Qin Che: "I hope this photo won't appear on Twinkle's wanted poster later."

The moment the shutter button was pressed, a sly glint flashed in Qin Che's eyes.

He moved swiftly, raising his right hand quickly and aiming precisely at your cheek.

The moment his fingers touched your face, you realized he was at it again, and you tried to dodge his sneak attack without leaving a trace.

But Qin Che wasn't about to give up. He put his other arm around your shoulder and pulled you towards him while his fingers firmly pinched your other cheek and gently lifted it up.

Your mouth was also deformed by his pulling, your eyes widened, and your expression on camera changed directly from (ovo) to (＞_O).

While waving your free hand, trying to slap away Qin Che's hand that was pinching your cheek, you yelled, "Qin Che! Let go! I can't let my guard down for a second when I'm with you! You ambushed me again!!!"

Qin Che withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, and his undisguised smile revealed his good mood: "Go to section N109 and ask anyone, who is more relaxed around me than you are?"

Hearing him say this, you instantly forgot about being turned around and photographed in an unflattering way. With a proud little expression, you said smugly, "This is because I love you! Can they love you as much as I do?"

"Yes, you love me the most..." Qin Che nodded seriously in agreement, looking at your adorable, wagging-tail expression.

Looking at Qin Che's smiling face, you could tell he was thrilled.

Sure enough, even the leader of Dark Point couldn't escape this straightforward confession.

You clenched your fist, brought it close to your lips and coughed lightly, deciding to salvage some dignity for your thick skin: "Ahem... Anyway, with you, there's bound to be an accident no matter where we go."

Qin Che reached out and gently ruffled your hair. "I don't dislike surprises. Besides, how can I see your unexpected expression without a little surprise?"

Taking advantage of his attention being focused on ruffling your hair, you suddenly grabbed Qin Che's cheek and pinched it: "You like unexpected expressions so much? Let me see one too..."

Seeing that Qin Che cooperated without much resistance, you became less polite and tugged at his left cheek and then his right cheek, all the while marveling at how good-looking he still looked even after being squeezed so much.

"Fairy!" you blurted out.

Qin Che, however, smiled and reminded him, "If you're going to pinch, then pinch, but keep it small. If you accidentally capsize, it'll really be an accident..."
