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

Qin Che stared at your adorable, embarrassed and angry expression, knowing that you were probably imagining something inappropriate for children again.

He smiled and pinched your flushed cheek, choosing not to add fuel to the fire by exposing your mistake at this crucial moment.

"Stop, stop, stop!!! You're the one who's always going against me!! And why are we discussing cleaning up after someone in such a beautiful setting..." You glared at him angrily, completely forgetting that you were the one who started this conversation.

"Bang!! Bang bang bang!!!!"

Qin Che's deep, pleasant laughter rang out in the night sky along with the sudden burst of fireworks...

You turn your head, and with just one glance, you take in the entire sky filled with fireworks.

This is the first time I've seen a celebration fireworks display from this angle... It's so close, so beautiful.

In an instant, your eyes widened, your face filled with surprise, and you couldn't help but gasp softly.

"Qin Che!!"

Qin Che also looked up at the sky, a smile curving his lips: "Can fireworks like these make up for your obsession with missing the parade?"

Turning my head to meet his gaze, I could clearly see the fireworks reflected in his eyes: "So, besides dinner on this terrace, there's a fireworks surprise planned. There's nothing else going on..., is there...?"

Qin Che nodded slightly, raised his hand and poked your forehead, his gaze gentle: "What else do you want?"

You pouted and said, "...You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."

Qin Che's gaze shifted from your face to the fireworks: "In the movie filmed here, there is indeed an important scene where a circular object is sent out."

You lowered your eyes; it would be a lie to say you weren't nervous.

No way! No way! They're not really going to give you that thing, are they...?

Qin Che slowly took something out from behind his back.

"I've prepared one too."

Qin Che gently and intently put the item in his hand onto your wrist—

overhead.

Feeling the weight above your head, you reach out and touch it.

As you touched the cool, lustrous gemstone on the crown, you couldn't help but smile at Qin Che: "Qin Che, your understanding of 'ring' is really... tricky."

"dislike?"

"No, I like it very much!" You adjusted your crown and gently shook your head. "Others give gifts here for special reasons, but we..."

"What's the difference between us like this?" Qin Che lowered his head, a faint smile always on his lips. "Or are you looking forward to something else...?"

"Hmm, the items are different, but the meaning is the same, hehe, and my ring is even bigger than everyone else's, it's very impressive!" You chuckled and adjusted your crown. "How about it, the atmosphere is so good, aren't you going to kneel down on one knee and call me 'Your Majesty'?"

Qin Che chuckled softly: "To so blatantly demand that I kneel down, there's no one else in this world but you..."

"Ok?"

You take a small step back, raise an eyebrow, and extend your hand to him.

Stop pretending, he clearly likes you just the way you are.

Sure enough, Qin Che grabbed your hand, took a step back, and bent one knee.

"Hmm, that ambitious look in your eyes is beautiful. So, Your Majesty, where do you plan to conquer next?"

"Of course it's...you!"

"There's no need for Your Majesty to personally present this gift; I will gladly offer it to you with both hands..."

A light, yet intensely warm kiss gently landed on your knuckles.

In the night sky ablaze with dazzling fireworks, two pairs of unspoken eyes meet, countless starlight reflecting on your faces...
