Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 887 - 523: Hanabi Returning Home After a Long Time

Chapter 887: Chapter 523: Hanabi Returning Home After a Long Time

The leaves rustled by his ears, making a gentle shushing sound.

Uesugi Sakura could clearly see the wavering in Hanamaru Hanabi’s eyes.

"Sakura-kun is an idiot... truly a big idiot..." the girl lowered her beautiful face, "No matter how many times... Hanabi will always say Sakura-kun is a hopeless idiot."

Hearing her soft voice, something inside Uesugi Sakura felt moved by her.

"The cake... it’s been so many days, why are you still eating it, Sakura-kun?"

"I... can’t bear to throw away something you made so carefully for me..."

"But the cake has been there for so long, it’s already spoiled..."

"It actually tasted fine," Uesugi Sakura wanted to comfort her, smiling as he spoke, "At least I haven’t had a stomach ache."

"Sakura-kun... even though Hanabi hasn’t forgiven you yet... once I heard you ate something bad, I couldn’t help but worry."

Uesugi Sakura smiled faintly: "That’s love, you see. When I see you’re sick, I also want to take care of you, worry about you."

Hanamaru Hanabi wiped her eyes and looked up at him, saying, "If Sakura-kun wants Hanabi to go home, that’s fine."

"Really?"

"But Sakura-kun has to carry Hanabi home... all the way on your back..."

Uesugi Sakura quickly crouched down, turning his back to her and said, "What are you waiting for, hurry up."

Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t hesitate, she walked over and pressed her chest against his back, wrapping her arms around his neck as she climbed onto his back.

Uesugi Sakura held her thighs with both hands, stood up, looked at the small pathways bordered by the city streets, and turned to smile at the person on his back, "Then let’s head out."

"Sakura-kun... don’t put Hanabi down..." Hanamaru Hanabi snuggled her face against his neck, feeling the warmth and scent from his shoulders.

"To let you down... I’d hate to do that."

Uesugi Sakura felt her soft face pressed against his skin, transmitting a sense of intimacy that made his heart fill with countless warm currents, his whole body becoming excited from her contact.

She was so light, like a dandelion ready to float away at any moment.

"Hana-chan, you should eat more."

"Why...?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked in a soft voice by his ear.

"You feel so light."

"Sakura-kun... half a month ago, you said Hanabi was a pig!" Hanamaru Hanabi’s face flushed slightly.

"Haha, that was a joke, but pigs are cute too."

"Silly!"

"Pigs aren’t dumb, at least they’re smarter than dogs, they’re just used to being lazy and gluttonous, which makes them seem dull... Hanabi, do you think if I’m always with you, will I become a worthless person under your care?"

"Being useless under Hanabi’s care would be best..." Hanamaru Hanabi whispered softly, "That way, Sakura-kun could never leave Hanabi..."

Her soft and gentle words slowly reached his heart, like a whisper.

Though ordinary and plain, to Uesugi Sakura, her words were like a needle piercing his heart, conspicuous and clear...

As Uesugi Sakura walked slowly along the sidewalk, he unconsciously tightened his hold on her. The silky and smooth feeling of her white stockings blended perfectly with her warmth in his palms.

Passersby occasionally glanced at them, mesmerized by Hanamaru Hanabi’s beauty, compelled to take a second look. In response, she pulled up the hood of her autumn coat, hiding her shoulder-length hair.

"Hanabi, you... don’t hate me anymore?"

"Still hate... but Hanabi never said she didn’t love Sakura-kun."

"That’s a contradiction."

"Not at all, it’s like some girls always saying ’stupid brother, stupid brother,’ but in their hearts, they care most about that person, right?" Hanamaru Hanabi’s soft voice was as sweet and calm as a dream murmur.

Uesugi Sakura thought for a moment: "In such cases, it’s usually called tsundere."

"Is being tsundere bad?"

"Not really, it’s quite cute, but it can make it difficult to get along," Uesugi Sakura laughed, "For example, if little Hanabi were tsundere, we’d have a hard time getting together."

"Why?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Because if you said you didn’t like me, I’d really believe you don’t. And in the beginning, I thought of you as a sister, so naturally, I wouldn’t have thought about dating."

"Sakura-kun is perverted... never treated Hanabi as one..."

"Hmm...? What do you mean by that?"

Hanamaru Hanabi’s face flushed as she said, "Hanabi... foolishly, many times didn’t wear a bra... and Sakura-kun secretly peeked when I wasn’t looking."

"That... that was out of youthful curiosity, boys, you know."

"What did Sakura-kun see?"

"Not too big, not too small," Uesugi Sakura said, selecting his words carefully.

"Dislike..." Hanamaru Hanabi buried her face deeper against his back.

"But to be honest, back then... ahem, I really couldn’t help but want to take a look."

"Was... it that tempting?" Hanamaru Hanabi, despite her shyness, couldn’t quell her curiosity.

"Of course, catching a glimpse... that’s what makes the heart flutter. I remember not only being able to see from the collarbone, but because your shark t-shirt was so loose, when you raised your arm, I could even peek through your armpit. I even leaned back for a better angle just to see more."

"Pervert..." Hanamaru Hanabi’s face turned scarlet as she pursed her lips and bit his neck, "Degenerate."
