Chapter 925: Chapter 541: Reunion on Christmas Eve (Part 3)_2

"He’s drunk."

"I didn’t expect brother-in-law to look like that when he’s drunk..." Hanamaru Yuuki giggled, looking at her sister cuddling with her brother-in-law, "And sister is so gentle too. If I was my brother-in-law, I would definitely fall for sister."

Hanamaru Hanabi blushed, feeling embarrassed about letting Uesugi Sakura rest on her lap with the whole family around.

"Yuuki, don’t say that..."

"Sister is cute too! If I were brother-in-law, I’d also fall for her!"

Mrs. Hanamaru teased from the dining table while tidying up: "Yuuki, stop teasing your sister."

Then she advised Hanamaru Hanabi, "Hanabi, you take care of little Sakura here, while your aunt and I tidy up the dishes."

Uesugi Shio stood up: "I’ll help too."

Mrs. Uesugi glanced at Hanamaru Hiroki and Uesugi Kenichi who were slumped over the table: "What about those two drunks?"

Mrs. Hanamaru wiped the table with a smile, "Prop them up on the sofa for now, we don’t have time to deal with them."

Since there were three drunks in the room, the two single sofas were occupied, so the longest sofa in the middle had to be left for Uesugi Sakura.

Well, maybe middle-aged men are just unloved.

Aei ran up to Uesugi Sakura and poked his face: "Brother’s asleep."

Hanamaru Hanabi pulled her in front of herself: "Aei, let brother sleep for a bit. He’s not feeling well."

"That’s right!" Hanamaru Yuuki playfully warned from the side, "Drunken men are the scariest, be careful he might eat you when he wakes up!"

Aei’s simple expression remained unchanged: "Sister Yuuki just likes to scare kids."

"Are you scared?"

"Maybe sister would be, but Aei isn’t, because I know it’s fake."

"You’re so smart?"

"Even Christmas is fake!"

Not just little Aei, even Hanamaru Hanami, who was too excited to sleep, crawled onto Uesugi Sakura, stepping on his stomach, with her big purple eyes gazing at his sleeping face, reaching out her chubby hands to pinch his cheeks:

"Eee-yaa~~ Eee-yaa~~"

Kids are always so innocent, so her crawling all over Uesugi Sakura wasn’t a rare sight.

Seeing this, Hanamaru Hanabi quickly picked up her little sister.

"Hanami, stop being naughty."

"Eee-yaa~ Sister..."

Mrs. Hanamaru finished washing the dishes and came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands: "Hanabi, pass Hanami to me, you help Sakura go take a bath."

"Huh? Does Hanabi have to wash Sakura?"

"Silly child, haven’t you washed him before? Besides, you two are a couple now, should I be the one to bathe him?"

Exposed by her mom, the already shy Hanamaru Hanabi was a bit flustered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hanamaru couldn’t help teasing again: "Already married, yet still not grown up."

...

Uesugi Sakura, in a half-dazed state, heard a lot of conversation and even heard Yuuki joking, "So brother-in-law likes lap pillows."

And indeed, he was lying on Hanamaru Hanabi’s lap, being gently caressed by her small hand, enveloped in her fragrance, and lazily sleeping.

...

"Sakura, Sakura."

"Mm... What’s wrong?" Uesugi Sakura responded groggily, reluctant to open his eyes.

"It’s time to bathe, cooperate a bit."

"Can I not..." Uesugi Sakura really didn’t want to move, lifting his hand made his head heavy and dull.

"No way, if you don’t bathe, you’ll be all smelly, who’d want to sleep with you."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Sakura groggily hugged her, nuzzling his face against her chest: "Hanabi wants to sleep with me..."

With her chest being nuzzled, Hanamaru Hanabi, unable to push him away, blushingly said:

"You’re so annoying, Sakura, turning into a child again... Stop being spoiled, get up, Hanabi will take you for a bath."

"Then Hanabi-chan will bathe me."

"Alright, Hanabi will bathe you."

Hanamaru Yuuki was laughing uncontrollably beside them, "So this is what brother-in-law is like drunk! Spoiling sister!"

Hearing Yuuki’s words, Uesugi Sakura hugged Hanamaru Hanabi’s waist, full-faced blush from the drinks:

"What! Not allowed, she’s my wife, not yours. I’ll hug her if I want!"

"Pfft..." Hanamaru Yuuki couldn’t hold back her laughter, "Brother-in-law got jealous! This counts as a scandal for sure, sister, wait, I’ll take a picture of him."

"Taking pictures? Want to take pictures of me and my wife?"

Uesugi Sakura immediately hugged his wife and made a peace sign.

Hanamaru Hanabi was blushing: "Sakura!"

Hanamaru Hanabi helped him from the living room on the first floor to the bathroom, helped him run the water, and took off his clothes.

"Sakura, sit properly."

"Oh," Uesugi Sakura sat on the small stool, and it seemed like Hanamaru Hanabi was scrubbing his back, "Wifey, aren’t you going to join me?"

"Hanabi will wash Sakura... And stop acting drunk! Don’t turn around, you’re not cute at all when you do that, Sakura."

Of course, when he turned around, Hanamaru Hanabi blushed and sneaked a glance at his belly.

Uesugi Sakura had a great physique, thanks to his workout results.

The more Hanamaru Hanabi looked, the redder her face got. She hurriedly finished his bath, dried him, helped him change into simple clothes, and supported him to bed.

Sakura... you’re so annoying!

Night quickly deepened. In Hanamaru’s small bedroom, Hanamaru Hanabi watched Uesugi Sakura sleep in their shared bed, using the moonlight from outside.

She was about to change into pajamas and go to sleep as well.

After changing her clothes and lifting the blanket to lie down, Uesugi Sakura immediately caught her in a hug.

He was calling out, "Wife, wife."

Although Hanamaru Hanabi loved him clinging to her this way, it was still a bit weird:

"Sakura, don’t act like a little girl..."

Yet Uesugi Sakura seemed deaf to her words, just closing his eyes, holding her tightly, as if drifting into a deep sleep.

Then he used his legs to clamp onto Hanamaru Hanabi, holding her like a body pillow.

"Don’t hold so tight." Hanamaru Hanabi’s hand, reaching for the blanket, hung in the air because of his antics.

"Hmm... since the wife has spoken, let’s relax a bit."

...

When Uesugi Sakura relaxed a bit, Hanamaru Hanabi flipped the blanket she used to cover herself and looked at him, asking:

"Sakura..."

"Hmm...?"

"Does Sakura feel happy now?"

"Happy... how can you not be happy when your wife is in your arms?"

"Then Sakura should hurry and sleep, don’t move around."

"Hehe..."

"Annoying, still giggling..." Hanamaru Hanabi pouted angrily at him.

Uesugi Sakura, having dozed off earlier and taken a bath, was in a semi-awake state.

With the warmth and scent in his arms, soon a mischievous urge surfaced in his mind.

"Hanabi~~"

"No way... Sakura, go to sleep." Hearing his voice, Hanamaru Hanabi knew exactly what he was up to and turned away to face the window. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I’m uncomfortable~~ I’m uncomfortable~~"

Hanamaru Hanabi closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed, but still she ignored him: "..."

Uesugi Sakura raised himself up and called near her ear: "Hanabi-chan~~ Little Hanabi~~ Wife~~"

Hanamaru Hanabi ignored him, so Uesugi Sakura kept calling.

Sakura... does he really become so clingy after drinking...

The more Hanamaru Hanabi listened, the shyer she became, so she had to pull the blanket over her head.

...

In the middle of the night, Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t know why Uesugi Sakura could be more clingy than her.

Glancing at his already sound asleep appearance, the pouting Hanamaru Hanabi just felt he was so annoying!

So bad and annoying!

But, taking advantage of the moonlight to look at him a bit more, she could spot a tiny bit of handsomeness in this childhood friend she’s grown up with.

Really, just a tiny bit.

Hanamaru Hanabi propped her face with her right hand, watched his sleeping face for a while, then smiled adorably, reached out, and tucked him in:

"Good night, Sakura."
