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

Qin Che chuckled: "Those two surnamed Xue have been talking too much in front of you again?"

"Hmph!" You shifted your body, adjusting your posture to face Qin Che. "I just overheard their conversation. Are you trying to change the subject by not telling me the truth? Tell me! What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

Qin Che reached out and smoothed down a stray strand of your hair, then casually remarked, "Trouble seems to favor me. However, this time, the opponent is a little more difficult to deal with."

"Slightly? Liar! Even you find me difficult to deal with, and you still want to brush me off with 'slightly'?" You were annoyed and punched him a few more times.

Qin Che pretended to frown, but the corners of his mouth that never closed showed that he seemed to really enjoy your jumping up and down.

"Okay, I admit, this opponent is quite tough." Qin Che's broad hand wrapped around your lower back, his long knuckles occasionally rubbing together.

Your attention was completely focused on what he was saying, so naturally you didn't notice.

You frowned, your face serious: "Could it be more dangerous than the massive explosion on Tula Island?"

You clearly remember that time, Qin Che also refused to bring any subordinates and went alone.

Qin Che lowered his eyes; he clearly remembered that separation that had worried you for so long.

That time was indeed very dangerous, but it also had extraordinary significance for you.

Even now, his eyes and brows still held a smile, but what he said made you even more worried.

"It's hard to say, but I have to leave in three days. During that time, don't go to area N109; it's not safe there..."

"Okay, I won't come to N109 district. Can I come with you? Nowhere is safer than being with you!"

You don't care what he really means by what he says; you don't want him to face danger alone.

"No." He refused bluntly.

As he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his refusal had been too abrupt, so he quickly added, "Don't worry too much, I'll be back as soon as I'm done. I won't keep you waiting too long." He reached out and ruffled your hair. "After all, if I'm gone for too long, I won't be able to see my flowers anymore."

"You've been avoiding the main points today; you're definitely hiding something important from me!"

"Really?" Qin Che said helplessly. "If I hadn't come back this time, I would probably have felt like I was living a life worse than death. What? Is that what you wanted to hear?"

You know that 90% of what he said was a joke, but you were still scared by his "joke".

"Pah! Are you asking for a beating again?!" You want to give him a few more harsh words of "lecture".

But it was interrupted by a phone ringing.

The phone was picked up quickly.

Although Qin Che didn't deliberately shut you out, the environment on the other end of the phone seemed quite noisy.

Even though you strain your ears, you still can't hear what's being said on the other end of the phone.

"Tell me... you were already so eager to sneak in so early..."

"..."

"Then I'll disappear for a few days in advance and see what tricks they can come up with."

The call was abruptly ended, and very little information could be gleaned from it.

And your clever little brain works at high speed, quickly forming a solution from it.

"Qin Che, have your 'troublesome rivals' already infiltrated District N109?"

"What do you want to do?"

He raises an eyebrow, waiting for you to continue.
