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

After confirming there were no other wounds, a waterproof bandage was applied.

"You should still get a tetanus shot and a vaccine. There's no way a stray cat might have something on it," Qin Che advised.

"Yeah, you should come too. How could our agile leader of the Dark Points get his neck injured by a little cat?"

While you seize the opportunity to laugh at him, you apply iodine to his wound with a cotton swab.

"hiss......"

Qin Che bared his teeth and let out an exaggerated sound.

You poked his uninjured skin with a cotton swab: "Stop pretending! Does it hurt that much?"

"It's not like I don't feel pain, how is that faking it?"

His words hit a nerve, and you felt like you'd said something wrong.

Qin Che glanced at your hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and gave a slight smile.

"So sensitive, what are you thinking about now?"

He held up two fingers, touched the corner of your mouth, and lifted them up, saying, "My little cat looks best when she smiles like this."

You hold his hand, but you still feel a strange sensation in your heart.

Do you recall reading somewhere before that Qin Che's pain perception might be several times that of a normal person?

You looked into his eyes and asked cautiously, "Does it hurt a lot?"

He chuckled: "Don't be so serious, it's just some tricks to get you interested."

You glared at him, knowing that he might just be saying something to comfort you.

But we still went along with his words and ended the current strange atmosphere.

You picked up a pink band-aid and held it up to the scratches on Qin Che's neck.

"The ruthless boss of the Dark Point family actually keeps such cute Band-Aids in his house. He really has a childlike heart."

"A fierce and menacing figure? I'm always smiling and friendly."

“You probably have some misunderstanding about ‘smiling’ and ‘kindness.’ When you smile at those people in N109, don’t they all just kneel down and beg you not to kill them?”

"What they think is their business. All I know is that you've never been afraid of me since the first moment you saw me. So, my 'fierce and menacing' demeanor won't have any effect on you."

"Well, you're not wrong to think that way, after all, in my eyes you're just a cute big crow."

As you spoke, you used the remaining colorful bandages to decorate his gray loungewear in a fancy way.

"Now it's turned into a cute, colorful crow." You look up, admiring your creation, quite satisfied.

"Childish," Qin Che said, but a doting smile played on his lips.

"Wait a moment."

The rain had stopped and the sky was clear outside the window, letting in soft sunlight.

You cupped Qin Che's face in your hands, tilted your head to lean closer to him, and planted a kiss on his soft lips.

"Mark this, this colorful raven that belongs only to me."

Qin Che grabbed you as you tried to back away.

"A simple tap won't do; we need a deeper level."

You quickly pushed his face away: "No, the rain finally stopped, didn't we come here to have a barbecue?"

"It's not too late to mark it before going to barbecue."

Qin Che picked you up by the waist and carried you straight to the master bedroom.

You struggled a couple of times, realizing you couldn't escape: "I don't believe your nonsense. Just tell me directly, will we still be able to have barbecue before dinner tonight?"

Qin Che's smile widened after hearing this: "Does this mean that it's any time before dinner? But I can't guarantee it... well... at least I'll be able to eat it before breakfast tomorrow."

"What! Put me down!"

"The energy we have for these few steps is precious, let's save it for later."

"Qin!! Che!!"
