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

"Hey!" You kicked your legs wildly in the air. "Qin Che, Qin Che~ You're just using this as an excuse! I just told you to keep it to yourself..."

You pouted and mumbled something, but a mischievous glint appeared in your eyes along with your smile.

Qin Che looked down at you, a smile playing on his lips, and walked slowly toward the bedroom: "Hmm... that little cat has already thrown out the bait, wouldn't it be a waste of her elaborate plan if I didn't take the bait?"

"Oh, don't expose me~" You reached out and pinched his cheek, the soft touch making you want to rub it a couple more times. "But seriously, we still need to buy ingredients for making glutinous rice balls later, so... let's get this over with!" You said the last few words quickly, a sly smile on your face.

"Now that it's started, you can't have the final say anymore..."

"Oh! Is it too late for me to regret it now?"

Qin Che placed you on the edge of the bed, his knees naturally resting against the foot of the bed. Looking down at you, the smile in his eyes finally turned a dark red: "What do you think?"

As you watched his approaching figure, a smile remained in your eyes: "Oh..."

The long, drawn-out syllable gradually disappeared into boundless tenderness.

***********

"I've already made three trips to the supermarket following your instructions. Have you gathered all the ingredients for making Yuanxiao this time?" Qin Che asked, standing in the kitchen with his arms crossed, watching you frantically putting water and flour into the measuring bowl.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any shortages this time." You nodded haphazardly and directed with your powdered hands, "Qin Che, Qin Che, help me move that shelf over here, yes, that one, I'll need it when Xiao Mei comes."

"You said you wanted to borrow Mephisto, so you wanted it to knead the dough for you with its claws?" Qin Che chuckled as he followed your instructions.

"With its tiny body, it couldn't possibly knead dough. It'd be better off poking holes in my glutinous rice balls with its claws," you replied with a look of utter ignorance. "The last time you filmed me making a cake, you did a great job. Let's continue this time, recording my heroic figure, hehe..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a "beep beep beep" sound came from outside the window; it was Mephistopheles tapping on the window with his mouth.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Che unleashed a red and black energy that lifted the window handle.

Mephistopheles slipped through the crack, a few snowflakes clinging to its wings, the tips of its wings still adorned with white ice crystals.

"Ew~~ It's so cold! Quick, quick, Xiaomei, come in quickly~~~" You raise your flour-covered hands and run over to greet her enthusiastically.

Mephisto circled once in the air before landing on Qin Che's shoulder.

It shook its fur, looked at your smiling face, then at Qin Che, and felt that you weren't up to anything good.

"Caw caw—" it cawed twice, warily refusing your approach.

nonono~

How could a cute little bird have such thoughts?

You grinned slyly and continued to give instructions to Qin Che.

"Qin Che, Qin Che, please open this package for me. It's a New Year's gift that I ordered for Xiaomei. However, the courier service was suspended during the Spring Festival and it never arrived. Today is the Lantern Festival, so it's not too late to receive it today."

Qin Che walked to the cabinet, and the black and red energy sliced ​​open the tape on the red box.

He picked up the neatly folded little skirts inside with one hand.

Turning to look at you, she slowly said, "A red dress, with white lace trim?"
