Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 860 - 507: First, Hanabi Can’t Be the One to Bring Up Making Up
Uesugi Sakura washed his face in the restroom and stepped out, looking at the empty living room in front of him, knowing Hanamaru Hanabi had already left.
Sigh... as expected, she was angry the day before yesterday.
Moreover, this time she was angrier than ever before.
He went to the bedroom, picked out the clothes he would wear today, put on a white shirt and trousers, and stood in front of the mirror, noticing his collar was slightly crooked, and he straightened it again.
If it was before, Hanabi would be standing in front of him now, patting his clothes and straightening every corner of his shirt.
Now... none of that is here.
Closing the wardrobe, Uesugi Sakura walked out of the bedroom, opened the refrigerator, casually grabbed two chilled rice balls, and with his briefcase in hand, set off to school.
Even though the morning air was quite refreshing, Uesugi Sakura always felt a sense of stuffiness, chewing the cold rice, holding onto the train handle, unknowingly dazing at the gradually passing scenes outside the train window for a long time.
After getting off the train, he went to the street side to wash his hands.
He arrived at Tokyo Art University, walking towards the pathway to the painting department.
During the time, he kept thinking about apologizing.
"Uesugi!"
Uesugi Sakura did not turn around, and he somewhat didn’t want to turn around.
Seeing the person ahead ignoring her, Kitagawa Sakisa who had just gotten out of her family’s luxury car, picked up her handbag from the seat and ran towards him.
Kitagawa Sakisa came to his side, looking at his face which was not as spirited as before:
"I called you, why didn’t you respond?"
"I... didn’t sleep well." Uesugi Sakura casually found an excuse.
"I know, it’s because of Hanabi, isn’t it? You haven’t been having a good night’s sleep, right?"
"Sort of." Uesugi Sakura tried to make his answer brief, he didn’t feel like talking much.
"I knew it," Kitagawa Sakisa nodded beside him, the two braids of her long black hair resting behind, "So, how about the dance I suggested yesterday? Have you thought about it?"
"I’m really not in the mood for this right now..."
Kitagawa Sakisa wasn’t surprised by his answer, stepping over the cobblestone path in the campus, she closed her eyes, gently tilting her head up, saying: "Uesugi-kun, if you want to apologize to Hanabi-chan but you don’t know how, wouldn’t it be better to participate in that Night Dance year-end performance I mentioned?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I’m saying, if you want to apologize to Hanabi, you should agree to me!"
"Why?"
"Uesugi-kun," Kitagawa Sakisa holding her shoulder bag raised her skirt with confident steps, "everyone calls me dumb, but even you, a student from Tokyo Art University, can’t understand this easy logic."
"Tell me about it."
"Hmm... since Hanabi doesn’t want to come near you now, why not approach her actively?"
"Don’t I know that? But I’m afraid she’s still mad, if I go near her, it’ll only make her angrier."
Kitagawa Sakisa spoke eloquently: "Birthdays actually don’t matter that much, if forgotten they can be made up, the most important is the sincerity... if you show your sincerity, won’t Hanabi forgive you? Plus, what’s between you two are just little disagreements."
Uesugi Sakura pondered: "So you’re saying, I should participate in the year-end activity you mentioned, and use it to show my sincerity, slowly approach Hanabi, and let her cool down?"
"Uesugi!" Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly widened her eyes.
"Why are you making that face?"
"I haven’t finished speaking yet! How did you know what I was going to say next?"
"This stuff..." Uesugi Sakura hesitated for a moment, then continued, "This stuff is quite simple, easy to guess, what’s difficult about it."
"Then why did you ask me so many questions just now?" Kitagawa Sakisa raised her voice.
"I really didn’t know earlier, but once you reminded me, I understood," Uesugi Sakura replied, "First, Hanabi is bound to participate in the year-end dance activity, and the dance needs a male and female leader, since that’s the case, if I sign up, I can slowly get close to Hanabi, which gives me a legitimate reason too, even Kyujuu Rika and Ayaka Rie won’t easily drive me away." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Perhaps under Hanabi’s instruction, whenever Kyujuu Rika and Ayaka Rie saw him slightly approaching Hanabi, they would stop him... the reason being, he needed a few days to calm down and would try apologizing to Hanabi later.
"Are you sure you don’t want to sign up?"
"I want to go." Uesugi Sakura said.
Kitagawa Sakisa laughed, "Isn’t that it then?"
Uesugi Sakura asked her: "Aren’t you not planning to help Kyujuu anymore? Why are you coming to me to help recruit?"
"Hey hey! Just to clarify! I’m not helping him, I just felt sorry for you being alone in the studio painting yesterday, so I wanted to help."
Kitagawa Sakisa crossed her arms, looking towards the corridor of the classroom building ahead.
"Moreover, my main goal is not just to help you, but to help Hanabi resolve her hang-ups. The days you two haven’t been together, I clearly noticed Hanabi-chan’s mood hasn’t been great, she used to greet me with a smile, now that’s gone."
"It’s my fault, I thought she was just being moody with me those days. I was busy with schoolwork, had my phone turned off, and didn’t contact her, didn’t think much of it..."
"Even so, going almost a week without speaking to Hanabi, isn’t that too outrageous?"
