Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 318 - 245: The Target in the Cake Shop_2

"Hey, but isn’t that just the May Festival of Tokyo University? We’re just the audience."

Kitagawa Sakisa bit into a strawberry, and the strawberry cake in front of her had turned into just a cake with many small holes on top.

Hanamaru Hanabi felt nostalgic about high school festivals when she heard Rika say that. Those times when everyone worked hard together, progressed together, enjoying an ordinary yet joyful everyday life:

"I think Rika-chan’s suggestion is great."

Kyujuu Rika gently brushed her hair aside, her elegant face showing a hint of confidence, "Uesugi can play the guitar, I can play the piano, Sakisa can play the violin, Hanabi can sing, and Rie can play a little on the drums."

A guitarist, a pianist, a violinist, a drummer, plus a lead singer, what kind of band is that?

Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but doubt, "No problem?"

Kyujuu Rika said, "Performing a song isn’t a big deal. The main issue is whether your school will allow us to perform."

"Wait, wait!" Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly stood up, "How did we suddenly decide on this? It hasn’t been decided yet!"

Hanamaru Hanabi curiously looked at Kitagawa Sakisa in her black dress and asked, "Sakisa-chan, you can play the violin?"

"Hehe," Kitagawa Sakisa immediately lifted her chin confidently and closed her eyes, "Impressive, right?"

"Yeah."

After being praised by Hanamaru Hanabi, she immediately became more enthusiastic, saying she must perform her violin for her good friends.

Coming out of the cake shop, it was still light.

The plan to perform a song at the May Festival of Tokyo University was not fully finalized yet.

Kyujuu Rika pulled away Kitagawa Sakisa, who still wanted to shop, leaving space for the two to be alone.

The pedestrian street was still bustling with people passing by.

"Hanabi, the apartment... when can we move in together?"

Hanamaru Hanabi followed by his side, and the shark pendant on her blue handbag swayed gently.

She understood that once she moved in... many things would surely happen at night.

Recalling the scene in the bathroom that day made her blush again.

"We can move..." Her voice was very small.

Walking on the road, they passed a small Sichuan-style snack shop, with a display board that read "New: Spicy Ice Cream!!!".

Below the text was a very appealing picture.

Seeing the word "spicy", Hanamaru Hanabi couldn’t help but look over, gradually getting absorbed in it.

"Do you want to try it?" Uesugi Sakura stopped.

"I haven’t tried that flavor..."

Meaning she wanted to try it; Uesugi Sakura understood her craving.

He then held her hand and led her into the shop.

The shop was small, with only one aisle.

"Welcome, what would you like?" the clerk behind the counter asked.

Uesugi Sakura glanced at the newly posted ice cream prices, including tax: 1143 yen.

Quite pricey.

"One spicy ice cream, please."

The clerk noted it down behind the counter, "How would you like the spice level? Mild, spicy, five times spicy, or hellfire spicy?"

Uesugi Sakura knew Hanabi’s taste, "The spiciest one."

Two minutes later, he handed the cup full of fiery red ice cream to Hanamaru Hanabi, whose eyes shone with hope.

The girl received it with both hands and softly said, "Thank you," then looked up slightly and asked:

"Won’t you have some, Sakura-kun?"

"You can have it."

Uesugi Sakura couldn’t handle such spicy chili. When he entered the shop, he saw a warning sign on the counter about someone ending up in the hospital from the spiciness.

"Okay."

Hanamaru Hanabi followed beside him, scooping the red and white ice cream and slowly putting it in her mouth.

The ice cream was creamy and smooth, drizzled with fiery hot chili sauce.

The taste was indescribable, sweet yet spicy, cold yet hot.

"How is it?" Uesugi Sakura asked.

"Spicy, cool, but not too spicy... Sakura-kun, would you like a bite?"

The girl extended her hand, her cute delicate face looking at him.

Uesugi Sakura looked at the spoon she offered at his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but then lowered his head and tried it.

The taste... how to describe it?

Indescribable, but the texture was nice.

Most importantly, it was Hanabi who fed him.

"How is it, Sakura-kun, would you like more?" The girl’s eyes sparkled with a desire for approval.

"Yes, it’s quite nice." Uesugi Sakura nodded.

Hearing him say that, Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head, scooped another spoonful, and offered it to him with her gaze.

"..."

"Somehow, I feel like I’ve become like that little kid Hanami."

"What’s Sakura-kun talking about?" Hanamaru Hanabi was oblivious, continuing to scoop ice cream for him.

Uesugi Sakura ate it openly, "I mean, Hanabi gives off a wifely vibe, caring and thoughtful."

Hanamaru Hanabi scooped the ice cream with the spoon he’d bitten, placing it on her tender lips.

Her voice suddenly became small again, "Sakura-kun, do you really want Hanabi as your wife?"

"Yes, of course."

"Wife..." The girl’s face burned, "Sooner... after moving in together... at night... it can be..."

These self-encouraging words were not heard clearly by Uesugi Sakura, "What?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head like a rattle, "It’s, it’s nothing."

Uesugi Sakura thought that things he couldn’t hear clearly should be followed up on, "It seems like Hanabi just said ’can’? What can?"

"Can... can...."

Hanamaru Hanabi gripped the ice cream cup tightly with both hands, buried her head deep, and after a long moment of hesitation, she suddenly said loudly, "We can live together!"

Passersby on the pedestrian street turned to look at this beautiful girl.

Their seemingly shaking heads seemed to say, "What a pretty girl, deceived by a scumbag."

Uesugi Sakura felt wronged.

"Mmm—"

Hanamaru Hanabi clutched her ice cream tightly, burying her flushed face deeply, making a soft humming noise like a small animal.

She still hasn’t overcome the habit of not liking being the center of attention, feeling particularly shy when everyone stares at her. freewebnσvel.cѳm

...

Uesugi Sakura returned to the apartment with her.

As Hanamaru Hanabi was about to go wash her hands, he quickly leaned in and gave her lips a light peck.

"Mmm~ sweet and spicy taste."

"Sakura-kun..." The girl licked her cherry lips.

"So, what were you saying about ’can’ earlier?"

"Sakura-kun... do you really need to know?"

"I want to know."

"Is it okay not to know?"

"If you act cute, I’ll agree."

"But... Hanabi isn’t good at acting cute..."

"If you can’t, you can learn. I remember teaching you before."

"Did that happen?" Hanamaru Hanabi’s violet eyes sparkled brightly.

Uesugi Sakura couldn’t quite recall either, "Whether it did or not doesn’t matter. You can learn it now. Please hug my hand and say, ’I’m sorry, Sakura-kun.’

Hanamaru Hanabi hesitated a little, but slowly wrapped her arms around his outstretched hand and lowered her head, murmuring:

"I’m sorry... Sakura-kun..."

"No, not up to standard."

"Eh...? Not, not good?"

Uesugi Sakura said, "Not good, try again."

Hanamaru Hanabi said, "I’m sorry... Sakura-kun..."

Uesugi Sakura: "No."

Hanamaru Hanabi: "Still, still not good?"

"Mm, try again."

"Try again."

"Not bad, try again."
