TANGINA MO CHINA!!! TANGINA MO INFOLD!!! 🖕🖕🖕🖕 FUCK @Love_Deepspace

[Rui_Li @RuiIceJasmine]

You opened the door to a red-haired man whose scowl disappeared and expression softened upon seeing your disheveled state.

“Did you at least take a shower already?” Were the first words out of his mouth.

“…Not yet.” Your voice is small as you responded. His eyes roamed all over your face, taking in your puffy eyes, reddened nose, and the barely-visible cut on your lip.

His eyes narrowed, amber orbs darkening to burnt caramel.

“…I’m gonna kill him.” He turned, ready to find your good-for-nothing ex but you were quick to latch onto his arm.

“No wait, Valko — he didn’t hurt me! I accidentally bit on my lip yesterday because I was trying to get him off me — ”

“All I’m hearing is that he put his hands on you, regardless and I am gonna kill that motherfucker — ” there is no doubt in your mind that he will. Valko Ao is a powerful ally as he is a dangerous enemy. It was what made him a formidable chairman of one of the largest tech companies in Linkon at such a young age.

You hugged him around the chest, throwing all your body weight into it to get all 6 foot and 2 inches of him to stop moving. “I am all for killing him but please, I don’t want to be alone right now!”

He stopped struggling in your hold, partly because he didn’t want to hurt you. Mostly it was because your voice is trembling and that just about broke his heart.

He turned back to you, patting your head as you looked up to him with tears forming in your eyes. “Fine. Hunting and killing is later. For now, I’ll clean up this apartment. You take a nice long bath while I deal with this.”

You started to protest, but he gave you a light flick on the forehead. “No buts. I’m in charge here.”

So you did as he ordered. You took a bath as he began to systematically dismantle your apartment, packing your things up. You had come out of the bathroom and dressed casually in a tank and sleep shorts to see him lifting your heavy bookshelf effortlessly, making your stomach perform backflips as you watched the muscles on his biceps bulge, veins popping out along his forearms.

Barely fresh out of an ugly break up and you’re already halfway into drooling all over your friend. Well it isn’t your fault that the said friend is exceptionally good-looking and has a body to die for.

You approached him to help but his head snapped towards you and he gave you a look that made you stop on your tracks. “You sit down and relax. I can deal with this alone.”

“But Val — ”

“I’ll just finish this up and I’ll clean that cut on your lip later. Have you eaten already?”

You sheepishly shook your head, seeing no point in lying. He sighed, striding over to your fridge.

“That motherfucker made you an expert at not taking care of yourself.” He hissed upon seeing it nearly empty. “I’ll get you some real food.”

You stood up, making his eyes flicker towards you. Remembering that you didn’t want to be alone, he took his jacket slung over an armchair and handed it to you.

“Let’s go.”

—————

You wore his jacket as he took you to an impromptu grocery run, getting ingredients for a simple soup to, in his words, “feed you with.” You tried to offer your help with cooking as soon as you got home but he silenced you with another look.

“You need to be reminded of the fact that a proper man takes care of his lady. Sit down so I can take care of you today.”

That shouldn’t have made you blush but it did, wondering if he meant anything deeper than that. You didn’t want to give color to it. But damn that authoritative tone made your toes curl.

Valko Ao commandeered your apartment as easily as he commandeered his, and you watched him silently dominate your space. Under normal circumstances you would’ve bitten his head off, but the breakup took its toll on you and you found that you did not mind at all. It was nice not to have to make all the decisions for once.

He has you sit down in front of him as he checked the cut on your lip the moment you were done eating.

“I am breaking those arms.”

You cracked a small smile for the first time as he carefully pressed a q-tip dipped into antiseptic around the cut. It stung slightly but you ignored it.

It might be better for your sanity if you didn’t ask if he was serious.

“You look a thousand times better with a smile.” Valko grinned in spite of the rage he was barely able to tamp down simmering in his gut. He will make that man regret being alive for daring to put his hands on you.

”Thank you for coming and helping me out.” Your voice is nearly a whisper.

”Do you have a new place already?” He asked as he placed the band-aid over the cut carefully, trying to sound casual and not too interested.

”M-My friend, Tara’s… I can crash on her couch.” You watched him shake his head, looking almost offended.

”That settles it. I’m moving you in with me.”

That made you react. “What — no Valko, I cannot possibly impose on you — ”

”I insist. A couch will make your back ache. I have guest rooms, a reading nook, and enough space for all
your things. Not to mention I can keep an eye on that steaming pile of horse dung and keep him out of Tara’s way.” He cut you off.

When he put it like that, you’d be an idiot to say no.

“Not taking no for an answer.” He hedged, watching you sigh in defeat.

”…Alright. But I will find some way to pay you back.” You insisted.

His eyes flashed. For a second he looked furious, but the expression disappeared as quickly as it came.

”Suit yourself.” He stood up, gently swatting your hand away when you attempted to carry the plates. “I said
let me take care of you.”

You had no choice but to sit back down, cheeks heated, panties uncomfortably wet as you watched him carry everything in one hand, thick corded muscles in full display and looking as if he belonged in your kitchen…

And in your life.

Valko Ao is moving you in with him and you have no idea how you and your heart will survive living alone with him.

logging on the game on 9 july just to a house update must be SOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNNNN

[calico | moving @Tortishelcat]

Okay, plan B. I used to make webcomics so I’ll be making a webtoon with an original character named “Valko” who is entirely original because no one owns him now.

A Letter to All Players

Dear Miss Hunters,

We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.

As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.

As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:

1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.

2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.

3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.

4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.

To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.

Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.

Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.

Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.

Linkon City will always be here for you.

Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.
