Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 875 - 515: The Warmth Shrouded by Moonlight (Part 2)
He then grabbed the edges of her white stockings below her skirt with both hands and gently pulled them down along her thighs.
Why must stockings be worn so tightly?
Uesugi Sakura struggled to pull them down bit by bit.
Although the light was dim, he could still see her delicate thighs slowly being revealed, like peeling off an eggshell, fair and indistinct, yet full of sensuality.
Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but swallow twice.
Her large white thighs had an exquisite fleshiness, just right, a little more would be too thick, a little less would be too thin, right at the most appreciable stage.
Indeed, thighs should have a bit of flesh to have a feel.
Suppressing his urge to touch them, Uesugi Sakura held her soft and endearing foot, the rolled-up stockings slid from her ankle to her heel, then from her heel to her sole, finally leaving her toes.
Not a trace of excess flesh, only a hint of hazy pink, petite and cute, and a soft comfort in his hand that touched the heart.
Good-looking as it may be, if Hanabi-chan doesn’t wake up, then touching like this is meaningless.
Uesugi Sakura pulled the basin over, brought her feet together, and placed them in the suitably warm hot water.
With his palm against the girl’s soft sole, the moment it entered the water, Uesugi Sakura felt her five pink toes gently contracting, lightly scratching him.
Just like that day of playing hide and seek, she stepped...
Ahem... improper thoughts are not advisable.
Uesugi Sakura used the hot water to wipe her ankles, and slowly helped her clean her feet again.
Not only was there no strange smell, but there was also a kind of fragrance.
Sigh, if he hadn’t seen Hanamaru Hanabi using the bathroom with his own eyes, he would have thought her whole body was fragrant.
Uesugi Sakura carried the basin downstairs, poured out the still clear water, washed his hands, then replaced it with a washbasin, refilled it with hot water, and went back up.
Hanamaru Hanabi’s feet were still hanging by the bedside, seemingly sleeping soundly, barely stirring. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Uesugi Sakura came to the bedside again, undressed her, leaving only the two essential articles of clothing, then wrung hot water from the washcloth which he had used earlier to cleanse her body.
Neck, shoulders, collarbones, arms, belly, waist, legs...
He wiped every area he could reach, reiterating that there was absolutely no intention to deliberately touch.
After finishing all these tasks, Uesugi Sakura went downstairs.
To avoid being disliked by Hanabi-chan, he tidied himself up a little, washed his feet, then grabbed his coat to combat the hallway chill and hurried back up.
As soon as he entered Hanabi’s room, the heat rushed towards him.
One couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty brought by technology.
Uesugi Sakura opened Hanamaru Hanabi’s closet, there indeed were several sets of pajamas, all pink shark sleepwear.
Auntie... really wants me to wear this?
Never mind, let’s just put it on.
Uesugi Sakura reached left and right for a while, then put on Hanabi’s pink shark pajamas.
What to say, they’re a bit small, but pajamas are meant to be very loose-fitting by design, so once on, they felt barely passable, at least not uncomfortable.
But for a nearly 20-year-old guy to wear such girly pink shark pajamas, is this really okay?
Uesugi Sakura stared at himself in the mirror for a while, realizing it was just his own overthinking.
No one’s watching!
Why should I care! Wearing is wearing, even Hanabi’s skirt, I would dare wear it now!
Uesugi Sakura took another set of pajamas, returning to Hanamaru Hanabi’s side once more with the help of moonlight. He bent down, just lifted Hanamaru Hanabi’s hand, as he was about to help dress her, the girl groggily awakened.
Due to the natural insecurity girls have when not dressed, and seeing first a pink shark head at night, Hanamaru Hanabi instantly screamed with eyes closed, slapping towards the person in front.
"Pervert!"
Uesugi Sakura wanted to dodge, but realizing it was Hanamaru Hanabi who aimed to hit him, and feeling indebted to her lately, he didn’t want to dodge at all, his right cheek firmly receiving the slap.
"Slap!" A crisp sound resounded.
Upon seeing clearly who she hit, Hanamaru Hanabi hurriedly withdrew her small hands, curling them at her mouth to conceal the surprise on her face.
"Sakura-kun...?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked tentatively, looking at the pink shark head in front of her.
"It’s me." Uesugi Sakura smiled at her, enduring the burning sting on his face.
Rather than a genuine smile, it was more of a forced one.
After all, that slap really hurt.
"Sakura, your face... is it okay?"
Out of concern, Hanamaru Hanabi reached out and poked his cheek with a finger. Upon hearing him hiss in pain, she quickly retracted her hand.
Uesugi Sakura: "I’m okay."
"It’s all red, and you say you’re okay!"
Hanamaru Hanabi sat on the bed, instinctively reaching to grab her skirt, but as her hands reached down, she realized she wasn’t wearing anything.
Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly pulled the blanket beside her to cover her petite figure.
"What did you secretly do to me, Sakura?"
Uesugi Sakura chuckled and said, "What if I said I took advantage of you while you were sleeping?"
"How much did you touch?"
"Even touched your chest."
"Then I’ll never forgive Sakura!" Hanamaru Hanabi said, crossing her arms and looking flustered, but she quickly took back her words, "I won’t forgive Sakura for a whole week!"
Uesugi Sakura sat next to her on the bed, still holding his right cheek where he was hit, "Why say such big words... Thinking about you is what really hurts me."
"I’m not thinking about Sakura..." Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head and buried it into the blanket, "I did it all for myself..."
"Hanabi-chan..."
Uesugi Sakura softly called her by her nickname.
"Sakura, do you think I’m petty... feeling sad over this kind of thing..."
"Don’t think like that." Uesugi Sakura whispered in her ear, "It’s just that they didn’t understand you, Hanabi."
"Am I really unlikable?"
"I told you... they just didn’t understand. Like when you were little and ostracized, even though you were so kind and weren’t cared for by everyone, it’s not their fault for not understanding you; it’s their loss."
Uesugi Sakura slowly leaned closer and gently hugged her.
"Just like how I have such a pretty and lovely childhood sweetheart wife, and they don’t."
"Am I really that pretty?"
"Have confidence! I dare say, if you grab anyone on the street, they’d say Hanabi is beautiful! If anyone says you’re not, I’ll make him say you are!"
Hanamaru Hanabi was amused, "Such cheesy lines again... Sakura has no idea how to win a girl’s heart..."
Uesugi Sakura promptly echoed,
"Yeah, if Hanabi-chan wasn’t dating me, I might have already been dumped by several girlfriends."
"You’re not allowed to date other girls, Sakura!"
"What about hookups?"
"What are you talking about!" Hanamaru Hanabi slapped him, "Absolutely not!!"
"Also, isn’t Sakura just supposed to walk me home? Why haven’t you left yet?"
"Well... I have to help you get ready for bed, wash your face, wash your feet, wipe you down, and change you into pajamas so you can sleep comfortably."
Uesugi Sakura explained earnestly to the girl sitting on the bed hugging her legs.
"And for instance, you fell asleep in the car, I couldn’t bother the driver, so of course, I had to take care of you."
"How does it feel to take care of someone like this, Sakura?"
"Honestly, it’s troublesome, just fetching water for you was a lot of back and forth."
"Does Sakura find it troublesome?"
"Not troublesome, not troublesome, not at all." Uesugi Sakura repeated twice.
Hanamaru Hanabi covered her mouth and giggled, "I wasn’t blaming Sakura at all, plus with you wearing my pajamas and saying those things... it’s so amusing..."
"Really?"
Uesugi Sakura wasn’t genuinely amused, but seeing Hanamaru Hanabi happy, a smile naturally found its way onto his face.
