Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 908 - 533: Christmas Eve Approaches (Part 2)

Chapter 908: Chapter 533: Christmas Eve Approaches (Part 2)

Uesugi Sakura got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, sitting on the edge of the sofa and grabbing the phone on the coffee table to check the time.

It was already one o’clock in the morning.

The night was really cold, and the snowflakes drifting outside seemed to seep into the room through the cracks, making one shiver uncontrollably.

He comfortably used the toilet and then came out to wash his hands.

Habitually, he turned on the cold water, but as soon as his right hand touched it, he immediately retracted it.

No, too cold!

His fingers felt a sharp pain as if injected with a needle, causing an involuntary shiver throughout his body.

Preparing to go back to the living room to sleep, Uesugi Sakura wanted to find the air conditioner remote to see if it was beside the TV; if he didn’t turn it on for the rest of the night, he feared he couldn’t endure it given his physique.

Uesugi Sakura rummaged around under the TV cabinet, shivering from the cold, finally finding the air conditioner remote on the TV set.

He turned around, looked at the sofa he slept on, and was just about to turn on the air conditioner.

The inside room’s door opened.

Wearing shark pajamas, Hanamaru Hanabi stood at the doorway; with the room’s light shining from behind her, her face seemed blurry in the night.

"Hanabi?" Uesugi Sakura watched her come out from the bedroom doorway and then took his hand, leading him into the bedroom.

"What’s the matter?" Uesugi Sakura asked from behind, smelling her fragrance.

Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t answer, just brought him inside, then leaned back against the closed bedroom door, resting her hands on the door, raising her face to look at him.

Perhaps because the indoor lighting was warm-toned, her little face appeared flushed with a kind of cute shyness.

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at him for a moment, then quickly turned away, leaving only her head facing him, mumbling in a soft voice:

"If it were the Sakura from before, he would definitely sneak over to Hanabi’s place at night..."

A night raid... is that it...?

Indeed, if it were the former Uesugi Sakura, with it being so cold outside, he would say anything to sneak into Little Hanabi’s bed.

How warm it would be for two people to sleep hugging each other.

But now, things are different.

"Hanabi, aren’t you still mad at me? I think being too aggressive wouldn’t be good, right?"

"Idiot..."

"..."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s little aggrieved "idiot" really touched Uesugi Sakura’s heart.

His heart felt like it was being melted by her sweet softness.

The cold he had endured in the living room seemed to fall to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"..."

The air was quiet for a moment.

Uesugi Sakura lifted his head again, "I understand now."

Then, Hanamaru Hanabi watched him walk closer and closer to her, until his face was right in front of hers, so close she could hear his breathing, "Sakura... what does Sakura want to do?"

Uesugi Sakura just smiled, then bent down, wrapping one hand around her back and the other on her soft smooth thigh, lifting her petite body and placing her back on the big bed in a princess carry.

He turned off the light, and the entire room was left with only the faint moonlight filtering through the sheer curtains.

It illuminated the top of the girl’s blushing face; everything felt so familiar.

Uesugi Sakura propped his hands on either side of Hanamaru Hanabi, looking down at the beautiful girl lying on the soft big bed.

Hanamaru Hanabi felt a little helpless, urgently wanting to hold onto something; her hand fumbled around for a while before grabbing the shark plushie Uesugi Sakura had first given her, clutching it tightly to her chest.

Uesugi Sakura watched her for a while longer, until her tightly closed eyes were completely covered by the shark, and then he said to her, "Hanabi, actually, you didn’t want me to be cold outside, that’s why you said that, right?"

"No... Hanabi just suddenly wanted to drink water."

"There’s a separate water dispenser in the bedroom, so that excuse doesn’t hold. " Uesugi Sakura paused, reaching out to pull away the shark covering her face, "Actually, Hanabi, you’ve already forgiven me, right?"

"No." Hanamaru Hanabi hastily tugged the shark back to cover her face.

"Hanabi-chan, don’t say one thing and mean another. I know, girls sometimes say no when they actually mean yes."

...

...

After Uesugi Sakura said that, there was a long silence, and Hanamaru Hanabi couldn’t help but sneak a peek at him through the shark’s fin; seeing him made her instantly blush even more.

"Just taking off your upper body clothing, why are you so shy?"

"Sakura-kun, pervert."

"..."

Uesugi Sakura thought to herself, we’ve both played so happily together, and this is just taking off my shirt, yet you call me a pervert?

"Always... always thinking about H stuff."

Uesugi Sakura chuckled: "You’re wronging me on this one."

"Then why is Sakura taking off his clothes?"

"To sleep."

Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly peeked out from behind Sharky’s dorsal fin: "Sakura wants to sleep here with Hanabi?"

"Can’t I?"

"Hanabi hasn’t given permission for Sakura to sleep on Hanabi’s bed..."

"But it was Hanabi-chan who pulled me into the room. I don’t care, I’m sleeping here tonight." Uesugi Sakura lifted up the blanket and plopped down on the bed, bouncing twice with considerable elasticity.

"No way! Sakura is a smelly man who hasn’t showered today!" Hanamaru Hanabi used Sharky as a shield to push him away.

"It’s been so cold these days, skipping a day isn’t a big deal." Uesugi Sakura explained while fending off Sharky’s attacks.

"No way! You smell!"

"Smell?"

Uesugi Sakura got off the bed and sniffed around, "No, I don’t."

Hanamaru Hanabi sat on the big bed in a duck-like position, hugging Sharky, her little face full of grievance in the moonlight, she muttered softly: "The smell of a fox."

Uesugi Sakura paused for a while before realizing what she meant, he chuckled:

"Who calls their own sister a sneaky fox, besides, she hasn’t done anything at all."

"Hanabi doesn’t care... Sakura can’t be on Hanabi’s bed."

Alright, little Hanabi is being a bit spoiled right now.

But I must say, she’s really cute.

"Okay, how about I go take a shower?"

"You have to use Hanabi’s shower gel." Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly chimed in.

"Hahaha." Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but smile.

"What’s Sakura laughing about?"

"Nothing, nothing, I’m going to shower."

The shower took about five minutes, Uesugi Sakura came out of the steamy bathroom wearing just his shorts.

Luckily, the big bedroom has its own bathroom, no need to go all the way to the living room.

By the way, the bathroom glass is completely transparent, you can see the bathtub from the side of the big bed.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t use the bathtub, he just showered standing up.

While showering, Uesugi Sakura noticed Hanamaru Hanabi stealing glances at him several times, when he looked her way, she pretended to be lying down asleep.

Sigh, what’s there to be shy about, you’ve seen everything already.

Why be shy...

What’s the point of being shy.

"Can I sleep in the bed now?"

"Um..." Hanamaru Hanabi hugged Sharky and reluctantly agreed, her face even redder than before, she wanted to say something, but ultimately couldn’t voice it, and directly pulled the blanket over her head, "Sleep."

Uesugi Sakura just smiled at her and pulled the blanket over himself, "Alright, sleep."

...

...

Night, quiet for a long time.

Even though Uesugi Sakura had his eyes closed, he hadn’t fallen asleep, he was zoning out, listening to the hum of the air conditioner in the bedroom.

Occasionally, there was a young girl’s voice softly calling him.

"Sakura... Sakura..."

Sakura, really asleep?

Hanamaru Hanabi pursed her lips, her inner thighs tightened, she wriggled with her eyes closed for a while, finally, she hesitated before propping herself up, shifting slightly with the blanket draped over her back.

She sneaked a peek at Uesugi Sakura, blushing as she did, Sakura shouldn’t wake up, right?
