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

The rearview mirror is decorated with the little pipe cleaner crow you recently learned to make on a whim; it's now staring at you with its tiny red eyes.

The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if a large bead of sweat had seeped from the little crow's head.

You looked at the little crow, then at Qin Che, and decided to change the subject.

Have you decided what to have for dinner yet?

After starting the car, Qin Che glanced at you before replying, "The ramen shop we ate at once before, the one next to the supermarket. Didn't you say you were going to the supermarket to buy me slippers after get off work? So I came to pick you up and we can have dinner together."

"Yeah, that restaurant's food is pretty good. By the way, I took the past two days off to stay home with you."

Actually, you didn't want to go to work today, but you went to the association because you wanted Tao Tao to help you look up information.

Then, as expected, Qin Che disobeyed and didn't stay in the apartment properly.

"Okay, sure..." Qin Che nodded in response, and it was clear from his tone that he was in a good mood.

It was rush hour, and the roads were packed with cars, crawling along like snails.

Qin Che's car was no exception; it was stuck in the long traffic jam and could barely move.

Moreover, the red lights on the road came on frequently, making the already slow traffic even slower.

However, Qin Che remained unusually calm despite the terrible road conditions.

His mood didn't seem to be affected. Instead, he tapped the steering wheel lightly with his index finger to the rhythm of the music playing in the car, and occasionally he could be heard humming softly in rhythm with the music.

"Qin Che, the traffic is so bad today, why do you seem to be in such a good mood...?"

Looking at his carefree and self-satisfied appearance, you inexplicably feel a little annoyed.

"All the time I spent with you was precious to me, including the traffic jams..." Qin Che smiled slightly and turned his head to meet your gaze.

Hmph! All you do is flatter people!

Your face flushed slightly. You gently turned his face back to you, saying, "Watch where you're going, watch where you're going, don't look at me."

The vehicle in front managed to move a few steps, but was stopped by the red light again after only 5 seconds.

Qin Che raised his hand and turned the volume of the music down a bit, then naturally placed one hand on the car window.

"Ever since you found out about this, you've been on edge almost constantly..." He sighed softly and continued, "Being a hunter isn't exactly a peaceful profession; you often encounter dangerous missions. Is it always like this?"

"I..." You were momentarily speechless. After gathering your thoughts, you replied earnestly, "No... I admit it concerns you. I can't help but overthink. I've tried my best not to be too anxious, but it's your fault for not telling me anything. The less I know, the more I think. In the end, it's all your fault! It's your responsibility!"

Qin Che chuckled softly twice, his pleasant voice filling the entire carriage.

"Your ability to shift blame is as good as ever. Thinking about it carefully, there's even a hint in your answer that you're advising someone to 'retire from the life of crime'..."

"I didn't say that. You figured it out yourself. Besides, your reading comprehension grades must be terrible..." You wrinkled your nose and glanced at him.
