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

You turned your gaze to his other hand: "You went out so early today just to buy this?"

"if not?"

"I thought some trouble had come up again. You should hurry up and deal with it."

Qin Che paused slightly, then reached out and patted your fluffy head again, chuckling softly. "You're imagining all sorts of nonsense again. Yesterday someone told me to take full responsibility for her, and today I saw she looked really bored, so I bought this for her to cheer her up." He shook the box in his hand. "Are you going to play with it or not?"

"Play, of course we'll play!" You reluctantly pulled away from his embrace, then quickly tidied up the rest of the items on the coffee table and tossed them onto the cabinet beside you. "Come on, the battlefield is ready."

After several rounds of trial and error, your disguise strategy shifted from playing steadily to setting traps for Qin Che.

As you gently run your fingertips along the surface of the wooden strip, you suddenly notice words carved on it: "Hey? There are words written on these Jenga strips! Qin Che, look at the one you're holding, what does it say on it...?"

“Look at TA.” Qin Che lowered his eyes and stared at the wooden strip in his hand, softly reciting the words.

He raised his eyes, his crimson gaze meeting yours directly.

Your cheeks burned from his intense gaze, and fearing he might be up to something, you instinctively glared at him: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's written on the building blocks that I should watch over you." Qin Che's voice carried a hint of amusement, the last syllable rising gently, creating subtle ripples in the air.

Your heart skipped a beat at his words, and you immediately raised your chin and said, "Then you'd better watch carefully, this is the perfect way I'll pull out the wooden stick."

Take a deep breath and refocus your attention on the Jenga game.

With keen eyes, you scanned back and forth among the crisscrossing wooden strips, finally locking onto one.

You carefully probed the gap with your fingertips, gently shaking it a few times to test its stability.

Once you've confirmed that the piece is loose, hold your breath and slowly and evenly pull the wooden strip outwards.

When half of the wooden strip was pulled out, you took a closer look around and moved several of the lower wooden strips that were already a bit loose.

After confirming that the situation was quite dangerous, he stopped and continued to pull out the one you had originally set your sights on.

You breathe a sigh of relief when the entire wooden strip comes off completely.

After a brief wobbling, the Jenga still stood firmly on the table.

With a wicked grin, you tossed the wooden stick in your hand, leaving Qin Che with a shaky mess.

You couldn't help but smile and give Qin Che a smug thumbs-up: "See? Easy peasy! Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon~ Hehehehehe..."

Qin Che rested his chin on one hand and glanced at me with a half-smile: "Open the champagne at halftime."

He paused, then added, "Isn't it a bit too early to be so smug? The foundation is hollowed out; the higher the stack of blocks, the easier it is to collapse." He slightly curled his lips. "What goes around comes around..."

His words were like a fine needle, suddenly piercing through your heart full of pride.

You glanced instinctively toward the kitchen, and the window with the name on it instantly came to mind.

The writing on the windowpane has long since disappeared, but the fear I felt at that moment remains vivid in my memory.

"No way, maybe it won't fall when I put it down, but it will fall when it's your turn." You retorted stubbornly, but your voice unconsciously weakened a few degrees.
