Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 854 - 504: The Easiest Girl to Win Over

Hearing Hanamaru Hanabi’s warm words, as Uesugi Sakura gently stirred the plum porridge with a spoon, his heart also warmed considerably at her words.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he fed her with the spoon again.

"Come, eat a bit more."

"Mm..."

This time, Hanamaru Hanabi ate the plum porridge, taking small bites slowly, tasting the sweet and sour meat porridge flavor, her purple eyes stared at him for a long time.

"What’s wrong?" Uesugi Sakura noticed she was staring at him.

When Hanamaru Hanabi was about to finish eating, she slowly leaned over, hugged him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, and closed her eyes quietly.

Warm sunlight fell into the room, the breeze gently brushed the curtains, lifting up the crystal-clear light.

Uesugi Sakura held the bowl and spoon in his hands, calmed his mind, and quietly let her hold him for a while.

Her face, still warm, pressed closely against his skin, delicate and smooth.

"Sakura-kun..."

"I’m here." Uesugi Sakura spoke softly.

"Even though... Hanabi has already been moved by Sakura-kun many times... but Hanabi... really... really... still likes Sakura-kun so much..."

Uesugi Sakura put the bowl and spoon on the bedside table beside him, then gently patted her back: "Do you feel better than yesterday?"

"Compared to... yesterday... much better..."

Hanamaru Hanabi hugged him tightly, her long eyelashes were dotted with tears, beautiful and heart-wrenching.

"Then why are you crying, too? You only had a few spoonfuls of porridge, and it’s not like the stuff bought outside is that good?"

"Hanabi... also... doesn’t know..." Hanamaru Hanabi sobbed.

Uesugi Sakura patted her tender shoulders, consoling her as he spoke: "When you cry like this, I always think about when we got married, it was such a beautiful time, but you cried all the way until the afternoon banquet ended, and classmates and friends laughed at your teary face."

"That’s... because, really... so happy..."

"I also feel happy. Hanabi, you are the first girl who was willing to cry in my arms," Uesugi Sakura said with a smile, "and the only one who ever cried in my arms. You’ve been like this since you were little, you’ve always liked to cry... but your crying is not like ordinary children who cry loudly, you purse your lips and hold back the tears bit by bit... it’s adorable yet evokes tenderness..."

Uesugi Sakura turned his head slightly; although from this angle he couldn’t see clearly, he could still see her petite back.

"I understand, the feeling of holding back tears, so Hanabi, if you’re feeling uncomfortable now, you can lean on me and slowly cry out all the emotions in your heart. I’ll do my best to take care of you."

"Sakura... Sakura-kun..."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s hands slid down along his shoulders, her whole face buried in his chest, inhaling his scent, softly hitting him with her small fists.

"Sakura-kun, you’re a bad guy... a big bad guy... why... why does Hanabi like you so much... even when you feed Hanabi a couple of spoonfuls of porridge... Hanabi can’t help but want to cry..."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s tears grew as she spoke, until her words became unclear.

Time and time again, the girl’s fists were soft and powerless, only fooling around on his chest, listening to her sniffling sobs, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but feel a surge of tenderness.

"Was it because I wasn’t there when you woke up in the morning that made you feel uncomfortable?"

"Mm... my heart felt empty... it was so cold last night too... When Hanabi woke up, she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling alone... she thought of Sakura-kun in her heart... but... Sakura-kun wasn’t by Hanabi’s side..."

Which is why when he entered the room, he saw her covering her face with the blanket.

Regardless of Black Hanabi and Little Hanabi... the good they do all stems from one starting point.

Uesugi Sakura felt that Black Hanabi was getting closer and closer to Hanabi.

"Alright, stop crying, if you keep crying your face will get all messy and no one will love you."

"That’s not true... Sakura-kun will still like Hanabi."

"What are you talking about, I only wanted to marry Little Hanabi because she’s pretty, a first-class beautiful girl, just coveting her beauty, her nice legs, and figure."

Hanamaru Hanabi raised her face, her adorable tear-stained face finally showing a hint of resentment.

"Sakura-kun is lying again..."

Uesugi Sakura quietly laughed: "What if what I’m saying is true?"

"Then I’ll beat Sakura-kun to death!"

"Can you really bear to?"

"The current Sakura-kun, I can’t bear to, but if Sakura-kun dares to go out looking for other women, I’ll definitely beat him to death!"

Hanamaru Hanabi’s pouting face showed a childlike mischief mixed with a hint of reproach, looking so cute and pretty that Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but become engrossed.

"Did you hear that?"

"How about... Hanabi-chan, you scold me a bit more."

"Sakura-kun is a pervert... but there’s no need to declare it yourself every day!" Hanamaru Hanabi stared at him with slanted affectionate eyes, cutely berating him, "Idiot, big idiot!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Listening to her lovely voice, Uesugi Sakura felt contented.

"Do you still want me to feed you porridge?"

"Of course!"

"Today’s the third and last day, Hanabi, you’re not leaving, right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi seemed to have paused for a while, and then her cute face relaxed, her expression seemed to reveal endless tenderness: "Silly Sakura-kun... how could Hanabi leave... even if Sakura-kun heartlessly abandoned her, she wouldn’t bear to leave Sakura-kun."

"Then why did you say earlier that you were about to leave..." Uesugi Sakura fed the spoon into her sticky lips.
