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

"Your colleague?"

With both hands full of things, you slammed the door shut with your foot, and then you heard Qin Che's voice coming from the sofa.

"Okay, bring me something." You placed the paper bags you were carrying on the living room table.

He took the notebook back to his bedroom, and when he returned, he heard Qin Che's words.

"Oh...she said I'm your...that...so-called, boyfriend? What does that mean?"

Your cheeks flushed, you pouted, and you said confidently, "Isn't that right?"

"Isn't he my husband?" Qin Che said seriously.

"Huh?" You suddenly recalled all the boastful things you used to say in front of him.

"He's my boyfriend, and my husband! What's wrong?!" You ran towards him in a few steps and bumped into his arms.

He leaned back against the sofa due to inertia.

"Nothing, it's just that I haven't heard you call me that in a long time. Why don't you call me that a few more times?"

"There's no benefit in it, so I won't call him." You looked up and leaned close to his face, nose to nose.

"Hmm? Haven't you already taken the benefits yourself?" He raised his hand and pressed down on your restless little hand that was tracing his abs.

"You really want to hear it?" You tilted your head to look at him.

Qin Che nodded: "I want to hear it."

"Really want to hear it?"

"Ah."

"You really want to hear that?"

"Yes, I want to hear it."

"So you really wanted to hear that..."

You still didn't call him "husband," but just giggled mischievously in his arms.

It's so much fun teasing him like that!

Qin Che showed no impatience whatsoever; on the contrary, he enjoyed watching your smug face with great interest.

You laughed and leaned against his chest, rubbing your fluffy head against his neck, your voice brimming with obvious joy: "Qin Che, how can you be so cute!"

Qin Che raised his hand and smoothed your messy hair, then gave you a sharp rap on the forehead.

You cover your head and glare at him: "Are you getting angry because you're embarrassed? Ouch!"

"I was just trying to be nice, afraid you'd laugh yourself silly," Qin Che said casually.

You bared your teeth at him: "Is this how you act as a husband?"

"Hmm...after all, I don't have any experience in this area either." He leaned closer, his breath brushing against your ear. "Let me think, what kind of obligations does a husband have, is it like this...?"

This guy is going after you again, in broad daylight.

"Wait, wait, I haven't even showered yet." You quickly pushed his face away.

"Oh? What obligation do you have that requires you to take a shower first?" Qin Che couldn't resist teasing you when he saw your shy expression.

Your face instantly turned bright red, and you could only shout to try and cover up your embarrassment.

"Qin!! Che!!"

He chuckled softly: "Your flustered look is much cuter than mine."

"Hmph, you're just bullying me!" You deliver two heavy blows to his chest.

Qin Che grunted, "Using so much force, your strength has improved."

"You deserve it." You cracked your wrists, poised to continue your attack.

"Um, do you want to tell me what your colleague meant by that? What did she mean by saying your boyfriend is hiding something?"

Qin Che leaned back, looking at you with a half-smile.

"Um... how about a kiss instead?" You withdrew your hand, pouted, and leaned forward.

"Feeling guilty? What are you trying to hide?" Qin Che raised his hand and grabbed your face with one hand, your lips pressed against his palm.

What kind of action is this, teasing a kitten?!

You moved his hand away from you and placed it on your shoulder, then leaned against his chest: "No!! She was just making a wild guess, and I couldn't tell her your identity, so some misunderstandings inevitably arose."

"Oh? What misunderstanding?" Qin Che was unusually patient at this moment, as if he was determined to get to the bottom of this matter.

"So... well... out of concern as a friend, I was worried that you might be scammed," you explained.

"What did you get scammed out of?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at you with a smile.

"What else could it be? Scamming money, sex, body, and mind, and then cutting off their kidneys."

"Hmm, you're pretty good at avoiding scams, but why do I feel like I'm the one who got scammed?" Qin Che stroked his chin, looking serious. "So you were after my kidneys?"

"What are you saying!" you said righteously. "How could I only covet your kidneys? I want all of you, from head to toe, you belong to me alone."

"So arrogant."

"Hmm? You still want to object? Objection overruled!"
