Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 805 - 478: Endless Affection (Part 2)

When Aei finished her shower and came out, Uesugi Sakura sat behind her, using a hairdryer to dry her damp hair.

He looked at the little girl with slightly rosy cheeks in the mirror, and asked her:

"Aei, what kind of person do you think your brother is?"

"Nini? He’s a really good person, you know."

"A really good person? How am I good?"

"Because back when Aei and sister were still at the old home, Nini would come with Hanabi sister to make meals." Aei sat on the stool, swinging her little feet up and down, saying, "Before, Aei and sister ate cold food every night, sister didn’t know how to cook, and we often ate leftover cake and yesterday’s discounted bento...

"One day, Aei’s stomach was hurting, and no one came to help. Sister went knocking at the neighbor’s door but got no response. Sister didn’t know what to do, and had to carry Aei to the hospital... Aei vividly remembers that day, it was very late at night, there was no one on the streets, and it was raining heavily, the rain was so cold on the body... Later, Aei doesn’t remember much, but sister seemed to have fallen many times on the ground, her knees were all bruised, and ended up catching a cold and hospitalized because of it..."

"What about mom and dad?"

"Mom and dad never came."

Uesugi Sakura tousled her hair and gently blew warm air:

"It’s all in the past, just remember your sister’s kindness to you, don’t think about mom and dad."

"Yeah, sister is very kind to Aei. Although sister doesn’t like talking much usually, deep down she appreciates Nini and Hanabi sister the most, saying when it’s her birthday, she’ll give them a big gift."

"If you say it in advance, then the gift won’t be a surprise anymore?" Uesugi Sakura said with a smile.

"Oh right." Aei only realized after saying it.

Uesugi Sakura put down the hairdryer and used a comb to straighten her hair: "Alright, wait until Hanabi sister finishes drying sister’s hair, then it’s about time to sleep."

"Nini, carry Aei up."

"Okay, I’ll carry you."

Uesugi Sakura lifted Aei up straight under her little arms and placed her on the bed.

Chiaei returned to the room shortly after taking her shower.

"Remember to sleep early," Uesugi Sakura said to the two little girls in the room as he placed his hand on the light switch.

"Nini, good night."

"Good night, brother."

"Good night."

...

Uesugi Sakura turned off their light and closed the door of their room, then went to the master bedroom where he saw Hanamaru Hanabi still tidying up the hairdryer Chiaei had used.

"Hanabi-chan, thank you for your hard work."

"Sakura-kun... Why so formal..."

Hanamaru Hanabi was a beautiful and cute young lady, but after saying those words earlier, Uesugi Sakura felt a bit embarrassed facing her.

"Sakura-kun, come over here." She gestured.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t know what she wanted to do, but he walked over anyway.

"Sit down first."

Hanamaru Hanabi pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed in the bedroom.

Having just showered, her whole body was exuding a scent. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Is it that... lately Hanabi has been neglecting Sakura-kun?"

"No, those words were just sentiments... Hanabi-chan, don’t take them to heart."

"Sakura-kun... Hanabi knows Sakura-kun." Hanamaru Hanabi said softly, with a tender voice, "Clearly you were so happy when you went out this afternoon."

Since they were at home and Hanamaru Hanabi had just showered, her legs were exposed at this moment.

She was wearing nothing but a pair of very short loose shorts and a simple shark T-shirt.

The tender, slightly pearl-like skin on her legs, under the room’s lights, revealed a faint hue, and the way they were together seemed to tempt, showcasing the smooth curves without any defense.

"Sakura-kun, do you want to rest a bit?"

Uesugi Sakura felt he was still in good condition: "Rest for what, wasn’t I here to massage your shoulders..."

"Lap pillow."

Though Hanamaru Hanabi was a bit shy and embarrassed, she still managed to say those words to him.

"Alright."

As she spoke, she supported Uesugi Sakura’s shoulder and let his head fall onto her lap.

Legs... still as soft as before—this was what Uesugi Sakura thought as he drew close to her skin.

Moreover, there was still the lingering warmth of a recent bath on her thighs, this subtle warmth mingling with the fragrance of a young girl’s body, flooding into Uesugi Sakura’s nostrils, quickening his heartbeat.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t know where to look, so he directed his gaze upward.

The indoor light on the ceiling was partly blocked by her shark, and even though there was fabric in the way, Uesugi Sakura could still see that her shark was bravely enduring the pressure of gravity, maintaining its exquisite beauty, while her face was only faintly visible amid the swaying light, making it difficult to see clearly.

Hanamaru Hanabi’s pink cheeks emerged above, blocking the light:

"How do you feel, Sakura-kun?"

"How do I feel?" Uesugi Sakura was a bit dazed, "So soft."

"Don’t misunderstand, Sakura-kun... It’s not because Sakura-kun’s level of affection increased that this can happen, but because Hanabi saw that Sakura-kun was in a bad mood... so she wanted to help him relax a bit."

"So... why is it this kind of relaxation?"

"B-because... isn’t it said that boys like knee pillows..."

"It’s wrong." Uesugi Sakura said.

"Ah?"

"It’s not that they like knee pillows, but rather that they like knee pillows from beautiful girls." Uesugi Sakura lifted the hem of her shark T-shirt at the front of her stomach, turned his head to the side, and snuck under it.

Inside here, due to the diffused light from outside the T-shirt, everything in his view turned reddish.

He could see the cherry-red belly of the young girl, the smooth waistline, and the small, line-delineated navel.

"Sakura-kun?" Hanamaru Hanabi was never a particularly straightforward girl; she was a young girl who always became very easily shy. When she saw Uesugi Sakura’s head suddenly sneak inside her T-shirt, her cheeks adorably turned red.

"Hanabi-chan," a voice came from inside the T-shirt.

Whether it was the sweet fragrance that naturally belonged to a young girl, or the softness of her thighs his face touched, or even the sight of her navel inside the clothes, Uesugi Sakura felt these things could calm his heart.

"Mm... mm..." Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t know what he saw inside her shirt at her belly, she only knew her cheeks were heating up.

"Can you pat my head?"

"How should I...?"

"Just reach in."

"Reach in...?"

"Yes."

Hanamaru Hanabi followed his words, tentatively reaching her hand inside his T-shirt, gently kneading his head, like soothing a child, showing her utmost gentleness in her caresses.

Though she couldn’t see his face, it felt a bit strange.

Uesugi Sakura, having his head stroked gently by the girl, didn’t feel it was weird; instead, he felt an impulse to entrust his entire being to her, to allow her to pet him thoroughly.

The girl’s fragrance, intoxicating to the sense of smell, enveloped by warmth.

Her waistline and navel inside the clothes were captivating to the sight.

Along with the gentle caress and the tactile contact with the softness of her thighs against his cheeks, the touch immersed him.

This scene made Uesugi Sakura close his eyes, relax his whole body and mind, to receive her conveyance to his heart, allowing himself to seem to fall into the cozy warmth of soft clouds, feeling incredibly comfortable.

A kind of fantasy, an indescribable fantasy, making one feel immensely happy.

Uesugi Sakura’s head escaped out from the shirt filled with the scent of the girl’s body, and Hanamaru Hanabi noticed he had closed his eyes, with one hand resting on her thigh.

The young girl, while continuing to stroke his head, said:

"I hadn’t realized... Sakura-kun can also act spoiled..."

"I’ve mentioned before, men do act spoiled... As boys with their mothers, and as they grow, with the ones they like."

Hanamaru Hanabi continued to use her hand to comb through his hair.

"Does Sakura-kun like being stroked like this?"

"Hanabi-chan could potentially swap that word with ’pampered’."

Hanamaru Hanabi was a bit stunned, and then with a soft, sweet voice asked: "Then... Sakura-kun likes being pampered?"

"I do," Uesugi Sakura opened his eyes on her knee pillow, looked up at her gentle, yet shy maiden face, "only being pampered by Hanabi."

Hanamaru Hanabi tenderly stroked his head, seeing his appearance with his head on her thighs, revealing a sweet smile:

"Sakura-kun really is like a child."

"Mm."

Uesugi Sakura closed his eyes again, inhaling the girl’s scent, feeling the warmth of her body, he thought that this was a moment where nothing more needed to be spoken, simply enjoying her considerate caresses peacefully...
