His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 570
Chapter 570: ANTICIPATION
The weather on Martial Island remained warm and unchanging, but there was a difference in the air. There was a hint of excitement on the faces of the inhabitants of the little island. The change made Akira a little uncomfortable because she had gotten used to the austere nature of the people.
“Do they have to be so excited?” Akira turned to ask as she pushed the stroller through the shopping district.
Kaito laughed. “You cannot blame them. The Triennial Championships are about to begin. This is the only time most of these people will see outsiders.”
Akira rolled her eyes. “We are also outsiders. They stopped looking at us a long time ago.”
“Are you jealous?” Kaito asked. “Do not worry. I am always looking at you.”
“Who wants you to look?” Akira pouted.
The couple entered a shop for baby clothes. The place was almost empty, so they could move around freely. Kaito was as excited as Akira as he looked at the clothes with excitement because he liked to spoil the little princess.
.....
Unfortunately, his sense of aesthetics was too basic. He immediately went for a fluffy pink princess dress. He lifted it for Akira to look.
“Don’t you think that Princess Hikari will look good in this?” He asked with satisfaction.
“Does the weather mean anything to you?” Akira once again rolled her eyes. “Hikari will probably melt under all that fabric.”
“We can keep it until we return to Mountain Ridge. It is autumn. The weather should be cool enough on our small mountain.” Kaito said with some homesickness.
“You know we will be able to get cheaper clothes in the outside world. This place is a rip-off.” Akira complained.
After she recovered and little Hikari recovered, she wanted to leave the island immediately. However, she found out that it was not possible to return to Mountain Ridge. They could only do so after the Triennial Championships.
The security on the island had become a little tougher even as the excitement rose. Moreover, Kaito was still supposed to fight in the championship. Therefore, leaving was impossible, so they could only make do with living on the island.
Luckily, unlike when Kaito was imprisoned in the Training Centre, she had contact with the outside world. She had talked with her father and her brother Seiji as well as Hina and Benji. She could survive for a while longer.
“Look at this! It is perfect for cheering for me, right?” Kaito leaned to look into the stroller with a cute gi in his hands.
Akira felt like Kaito had become more and more childish after the birth of their daughter. However, his attachment to the princess also helped him slowly come out from the shadow of post-traumatic stress syndrome.
He did not suffer from insomnia and hypervigilance in the last few months, at least not as much as the first two months after Akira woke from the coma. Moreover, he was more relaxed and did not have the sharpness he had before.
It made Akira very worried about his performance at the Triennial Championships.
Although Kaito was still training diligently, he did not seem to have the killer instinct anymore. He was too happy and comfortable with his life. He had become a perfect example of a total dad. Akira was quite happy with their life and family dynamic.
But she was worried he would be destroyed during the fights.
Akira smiled at Kaito with a sly grin. “I am sorry, darling. Hikari will not be cheering for you during the championships.”
Kaito looked up from the cute girl. “I am sure it is fine for her to come to the Arena. Or, you can stream the fights from the house.”
“No, I do not mean she will not watch. She just won’t be cheering for you. She is Team Hu Lei, all the way.” Akira laughed without guilt.
Kaito’s face became serious to the point that it was hilarious. Akira laughed even harder, causing the tiny thing in the stroller to burst out crying. The cries did not stop Akira from laughing, but she started pushing the stroller again. The motion seemed to soothe the princess.
“Is Hu Lei trying to start a war with me?” Kaito asked grumpily.
“She asked for Hikari’s support last month during a video call. Hikari made appropriate noises to indicate that she agreed to the request. I cannot do anything about it.” Akira shrugged. “But you are right. That gi is very cute. Let’s get it. Maybe I can do a supportive hashtag at the back.”
Kaito seemed filled with fire. “This is a direct challenge against me. I will have my revenge.”
An attendant in the shop came forward. “Sir, you are crumpling the clothes.”
“Sorry. Please pack this up for me.” Kaito recovered from his stupor and gave the little gi to the attendant.
Akira giggled a little and leaned towards Kaito. “Do not worry. I will support you.”
“You are the best.” Kaito leaned to peck her cheek.
The two silly people in the store and their crybaby princess enjoyed their bliss. Even though they were in a foreign place without a way to get off the island, they were happy. And it was a happiness they both never thought they could have.
In Supreme City, Hu Lei was looking at her little brother with strict eyes. She seemed tough, but there was a sense of deep warmth in her eyes. Therefore, it was hard for Hu Fai to be too scared of his little big sister.
Hu Lei brought him back with her from Herb Town to Azure Woods when she returned to Supreme City. She did not want him to be completely immersed in the medical world without other options. She wanted him to experience life.
Hu Fai was still short, slim and delicate for his age, but he was no longer sickly. His physical condition had improved a lot under the care of the Huo clan. However, he had missed his best chance for robust growth due to the poor living conditions he experienced.
“I will be gone for some time along with your brother-in-law. You will be living with the Zhong family during this period together with Wang Lei. You must take care of your nephew with care, or I will deal with you.” Hu Lei said.
“Do not worry. I will not cause Auntie and Uncle any trouble.” Hu Fai said obediently.
The response made Hu Lei annoyed. “Who said I do not want you to cause them trouble? It would be best if you caused them as much trouble as possible. Do you not have an urge to rebel? You are a teenager! Show some spirit.”
“What are you teaching Fai?” A magnetic voice spoke up from behind them.
Hu Lei’s face changed from the gangsterish appearance into one of a sweetheart. The change made Hu Fai speechless. He could not figure out his little big sister.
“Hubby! You are back. I am just giving Fai instructions before our trip.” Hu Lei walked to Zhong Feng and held his arm to herself.
“Is that so? I thought I heard a gangster misleading people.” Zhong Feng replied dotingly.
Hu Fai, who was stuffed with PDA, realised that his sister was probably lawless because of his brother-in-law. But it was good that she was happy.
