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

Without saying a word, you tiptoed and pulled open the cabinet above your head, placing the wooden strip with the words "Gently Caress TA" written on it inside the cabinet.

"Your way of tidying up is really unique."

His voice drew closer, but you walked toward the living room without turning your head.

You gently moved the ornaments on the shelf and solemnly placed the wooden strip that read "Embrace TA" in the most conspicuous position.

"Qin Che, listen up! You are not allowed to take any of these wooden strips I've placed!" You stood up straight, put your hands on your hips, and stared intently at him.

"You leave them everywhere, it's a hassle to collect them," he replied casually, leaning against the doorframe.

"That's troublesome enough." You muttered, about to reach for the wooden strips again, when you suddenly caught a glimpse of his movements.

Qin Che walked slowly, his shoes tapping out a steady rhythm on the floor.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the wooden strip in his palm. His well-defined fingers slowly spread out, revealing a wooden strip engraved with the words "Grab TA" that gleamed with a warm luster.

“You haven’t been in a good mood since last night.” His voice was low, gentle with a hint of worry. “You don’t need to hide anything from me. Tell me directly what’s wrong.”

"Qin Che! Don't you dare erase my traces, do you hear me!" You took a deep breath, walked closer to him, took the wooden stick from his hand, and then looked up to meet his beautiful red eyes. "You must infiltrate every aspect of your life; everything you are, will bear my mark..."

Qin Che raised an eyebrow, a captivating smile curving his lips: "Oh... so it's my little cat marking its territory and asserting its dominance here..."

"Okay! Then I'm in the circle. What do you want?"

Qin Che leaned forward a little more, his hands behind his back, his warm breath spraying all over your cheeks.

Just as he bent down and almost touched your nose, a wooden stick blocked your view, and the four small words "Listen to TA" were clearly visible.

“I want to…support her.” His voice was tinged with laughter, the last syllable rising slightly.

You snatched the wooden strip from his hand, deftly stuffed it into his pocket, and gave the pocket a pat: "Take good care of it."

"Leaving so many traces in my house, aren't you afraid people will see it as a weakness and you'll be in danger?" He flicked his pocket with his finger, making a slight sound.

You raised your head, your gaze unwavering: "It's hard to say whether I'm in danger, or the one who sees me as your weakness. Even if I'm not strong enough yet, you certainly have the strength and means to protect me, don't you?"

"Your understanding is quite clear; accepting protection doesn't mean you're weak." He suddenly laughed twice, then pulled you into his arms.

His warm breath enveloped you as he leaned close to your ear, his voice low and seductive: "But you should do it this way. If you're going to claim territory, then make it big. Take over my territory along with me, and from now on, you can leave your mark wherever you want... it'll all be up to you."

You looked up to meet the burning intensity in his eyes, your fingertips suddenly gripping the collar of his shirt, your knuckles turning slightly white from the force: "Of course! You are mine!"

Before you could finish speaking, you stood on tiptoe and pressed his lips hard against yours.

This kiss is accompanied by your overwhelming possessiveness...
