Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 909 - 534: Christmas Eve Approaches (Part 2)

Chapter 909: Chapter 534: Christmas Eve Approaches (Part 2)

When Sakura Uesugi woke up the next day, she found Hanamaru Hanabi a bit afraid to look at her, only hiding under the blanket, covering her whole body.

Well, she’s such an easily shy girl, secretly doing naughty things last night, only to be caught by me pretending to sleep. It’s only natural for her to feel embarrassed.

Sigh, this matter is both good and bad.

Anyway, going to school today is out of the question; after giving up the grain, Sakura Uesugi just feels a bit weak.

"Sakura-kun..." Hanamaru Hanabi timidly peeks out her pair of gleaming purple eyes from the white bedding.

"What’s up?" Sakura Uesugi smiles and asks. For some reason, she feels that after last night, Hanabi has become even cuter, her voice shy and tender.

"Hanabi... Hanabi wants some water..."

Her small hands clutch the blanket, her voice weak and soft.

"Then why doesn’t Hanabi go get it herself?"

"Dummy... Hate..."

Crimson blush climbs up Hanamaru Hanabi’s ears and cheeks; she pulls the blanket further up, her trembling eyes averting to the side as she murmurs, "Sakura-kun... You’re asking the obvious."

"No, I’m not."

"You’re asking the obvious..." Hanamaru Hanabi says angrily, pulling the white blanket over her forehead, not wanting to look into his eyes anymore.

Sakura Uesugi chuckles.

Whether it is asking the obvious or not... she really is asking the obvious.

Last night, it wasn’t entirely night; it was nearly 4:30 in the morning.

With cheeks flushed like she was feverish, little Hanabi suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.

But after hours, her legs were so weak, she couldn’t stand up at all.

She had to rely on Sakura Uesugi to carry her over... cough cough...

And this is why she’s shy this morning.

After all, she’s not a child anymore, yet such simple things still require being carried.

Not being embarrassed would be odd.

Sakura Uesugi remembered, the bathroom was a bit cold at that time.

He shivered while urging Hanabi, but the more he urged, the more nervous she became, extending the time even longer.

He thought it was fine, really, since when they were younger, he took care of her like this.

It was just returning to childhood innocence.

But, this morning, little Hanabi was so shy she couldn’t handle it, kicking him to the edge of their large bed with her foot upon seeing his face.

Sigh...

Once married, the husband has no rights.

Sakura Uesugi lifted the blanket, got up, and walked to the bedroom’s water dispenser near the TV to get a cup of warm water. He returned to the large bed, sat by the bedside.

He patted the bulging blanket:

"Alright, got your water for you."

Hanamaru Hanabi heard his voice, didn’t immediately peek out from the blanket but moved around inside for quite a while, gradually crawling from the left side of the bed to the right side, and then slowly rising, clutching the blanket, sticking her little head out.

A face as tender as water belongs to the young girl kneeling in front of him.

Like a rabbit peeking out of its burrow.

"Hmm..."

Her eyes were staring at him.

"Want me to feed you?" Sakura Uesugi slightly shook the cup of water in his hand.

"Mmm hmm."

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded her little head as if she couldn’t speak, merely making faint sounds with her throat.

Sakura Uesugi was truly enchanted by how cute she was, so small and reliant on him.

He leaned closer with the cup to the girl’s lips; Hanamaru Hanabi glanced at him, lightly opening her mouth against the rim.

Sakura Uesugi watched her drink, her eyes closed, saw the way she swallowed and gulped, lifting the cup higher gradually.

When she finished drinking the water in the cup, Sakura Uesugi’s hand had almost raised the cup to the sky.

"Want more?" Sakura Uesugi lowered his arm, looked at the empty cup in his hand.

"No more..." Hanamaru Hanabi raised her small head, "Also, why did Sakura-kun keep raising it, I almost couldn’t drink!"

"I was trying to make it easier for you to drink, finding the right angle, which just meant your chin kept lifting higher and my hand followed suit." Sakura Uesugi leaned over and placed the cup on the bedside table.

When he refocused, he saw Hanamaru Hanabi sitting on the large bed hugging her legs.

Could she walk now?

"Why are you staring at me?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Hanamaru Hanabi’s face squashed against her knees, her eyes full of resentment, she mumbled softly: "Because Sakura-kun smelled like a fox yesterday."

"Alright, alright, stop being jealous... Now I smell all like Hanabi, don’t I?" Sakura Uesugi laughed, feeling a slight helplessness, "Hungry yet? I can’t cook, but I can heat up a couple of lunchboxes."

"Hungry..."

"Then wait, I’ll go heat up a couple of lunchboxes for you."

"Okay."

Sakura Uesugi leaned in close, took advantage of her lack of attention to softly peck her cheek, soft as cotton candy, still hot.

Noticing he secretly kissed her, Hanamaru Hanabi pouted and gave him a glare.

"Naughty..."

"Wait for me." Sakura Uesugi chuckled, got out of bed, and left the bedroom.

The moment he opened the door, he found a staggering Hanamaru Yuuki; she felt exposed, awkwardly smiled:

"Morning, brother-in-law, is sis up yet?"

To prevent Hanamaru Hanabi from seeing Yuuki and getting jealous, Sakura Uesugi quickly shut the bedroom door.

"Morning. Yuuki, were you eavesdropping?"

"No, definitely not!" Hanamaru Yuuki, whose beauty thoroughly qualifies as a maiden, smiled, "Just wanted to wake sis up."

"Is that true?"

"It was, originally." Hanamaru Yuuki smiled, hands behind her back.

"So, halfway through you started eavesdropping?"
