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

You rested your chin on his palm, blinked your big eyes twice, and said, "I regret not going to the Dark Point these past two days. It's too cold sleeping alone... Luckily, that damn mission is finally over, and I can hug my big heater again..."

As soon as you finished speaking, you wrapped your arm around Qin Che's waist, hugged his warm wool coat, and snuggled comfortably against his chest.

Qin Che patted you on the back: "I'm enough to keep you from sleeping."

"Huh?" You suddenly lifted your head from his embrace. "So that's why all those people suddenly came to the association in such a neat and orderly fashion. It turns out it was you who was 'helping'!"

Qin Che placed his large hand on the back of your head, his shoulders shrugging slightly: "Just casually dealing with a few fools, so that's what your mission is?"

"Didn't you say you were busy with a big business deal? You still have to help me with my tasks. Oh dear~~~ How can I thank you?" You blinked your starry eyes, took a pomegranate-flavored lollipop from your shirt pocket, quickly unwrapped it, and held it to his lips.

"How about this thank-you gift?"

Qin Che raised an eyebrow slightly and took a bite of your candy: "Your thank-you gift is truly unique."

"Your teeth are amazing!!!" You opened your mouth wide, staring at the lollipop shattered into pieces, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Qin Che! Has no one taught you how to eat a lollipop?! Who bites a lollipop like that?!"

"Nobody taught me..." Qin Che found your pained expression quite amusing. "How about you teach me?"

"It's just putting the candy in your mouth and eating it slowly..." You know this guy is 99% kidding you, but he still opens another lollipop and "teaches" you again in a serious manner.

"Oh...I see..." Qin Che chuckled softly, and before you could react, he used evol to dissipate the empty rod in your mouth. The next second, his lips, still tinged with sweetness, were pressed against yours.

!!!

A wet, warm tongue swept across your lips, circling the lollipop in your mouth before you felt the shadow in front of you disappear.

"Qin Che! What are you doing?!"

Your kettle boils water in a flash, and steam begins to rise from the top of your head.

"Just reinforcing your teaching, is there a problem?" Qin Che said casually, showing no remorse for doing something wrong.

This...this is still inside someone else's shop!!!

You cupped your flushed face in your hands, glancing left and right to make sure no one was watching before you finally felt a little relieved.

"Qin Che! You can't use sneak attacks like that next time!" You secretly kicked this clueless guy under the table where no one could see.

Qin Che shrugged, looking utterly smug: "I'll try my best."

You took the lollipop out of your mouth and shoved it into Qin Che's mouth with a "plop": "I only have a few pomegranate flavored ones left, which I specially brought back from the amusement park last time. Eat them sparingly!!"

"Then go a few more times and buy them. You haven't seen or ridden your parade floats or roller coasters yet."

He slid the candy from the left to the right of his mouth—a simple, yet incredibly handsome move that made your face flush and your heart race.
