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

Chapter 758 Human Affairs 18

The smile that curved Qin Che's lips held a seductive quality: "You... you've thought a lot about it."

You gently rubbed your palm against his and said earnestly, "But what I really want is very simple."

“That’s how humans are. Once they’ve done it this year, they want to do it every year.” He paused for two seconds deliberately, then leaned closer and murmured in a laughing voice, “So greedy, and I’ve become one of them.”

You listen to his increasingly rapid heartbeat, your fingertips lightly tracing the safety lock on his chest: "Isn't it good? This way, there's something to look forward to every year."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and a slightly helpless voice sneaked into your ear: "Give me a little more time, so I don't look like I'm surrendering so quickly."

People along the riverbank began chanting the New Year countdown; only ten seconds remained until the next year began.

You asked with a smile, "Is ten seconds enough?"

He nodded.

You pulled him along to the wooden fence by the river, and together with the people counting down to the New Year, you shouted: "Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!"

You tiptoe, drawing his red eyes in.

"Six! Five! Four!"

You raised your arms and blocked his neck.

"Three! Two..."

When he leans over, his eyelashes brush against your nose, and his breath touches your lips.

The last syllable of the countdown was swallowed by the sound of your lips meeting his...

The instant the midnight bell shattered the night sky, fireworks bursting across the heavens illuminated the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes. The moment their warm lips touched, you heard your own heart pounding wildly, mingling with the distant chimes of the clock tower.

Brilliant fireworks rose side by side into the sky over the river, while golden sparks fell onto the river surface like shooting stars.

He tightened his arms, holding you even closer.

As soft, warm lips lingered and caressed each other, a dazzling display of fireworks exploded overhead...

The brief but warm kiss ended, and your gaze lingered on his crimson pupils, where the scattered fireworks and your slightly flushed face were clearly reflected.

The winter night was gray and gloomy, but in your eyes, Qin Che was so vibrant and radiant.

"You're quite the cunning hunter," Qin Che's clear voice rang out.

"Not only that~~ I'm also a stubborn hunter. Once I've decided you're the one I'll celebrate New Year's with from now on, I won't change my mind. Qin Che~ It's you! It can only be you! It will always be you!!!"

His low, pleasant laughter, mixed with the smell of alcohol and the smoky aroma of fireworks, rushed into your nostrils along with the hug and the cold wind.

Suddenly he leaned in, his warm breath falling on your ear.

Happy New Year, my little cat.

You lean close to him, whisper in his ear, and reply, word by word.

Happy New Year, my Qin Che.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, snow began to fall gently.

Snowflakes drew beautiful arcs on your faces. A moment later, you lifted your head in his arms and said, "Qin Che, let's go set off fireworks later, the small handheld ones."

Qin Che raised an eyebrow slightly, feigning difficulty: "Holding something like that in my hand would make me look very awkward."

"Ah~~~Qin Che~~~This is the first day of the new year~~~How can you really bear to refuse me~~~" You swayed in his arms and acted coquettishly.

He smiled, patted your shoulder, and pulled you closer to his arm.

"Okay, whatever."

"Qin Che! You're the best~~~~~~~~~"
