Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 935 - 546: An Unforgettable Christmas (Finale)_2
But Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable inside. He was the one exhausted, yet Hanabi was still blaming him for not taking her there.
But just now! Clearly! It was little Hanabi who was so enthusiastic!
Anyway, it doesn’t matter, there’s nothing little Hanabi can’t be forgiven for.
Besides, it was his suggestion to go there, so this time consider it a lesson learned...
Also, little Hanabi’s physical condition recently is really impressive, Uesugi Sakura feels he can’t quite handle it.
"Sakura-kun."
"Huh?" Uesugi Sakura responded weakly.
"Sakura-kun, why do you suddenly look so out of it?"
"Little Hanabi, you need to understand, that’s how men are after giving in."
"Oh... I thought Sakura-kun wasn’t very happy." Hanamaru Hanabi recalled how he fell asleep immediately that night.
Bad Sakura-kun...
"I’m happy, really happy, it’s just my body can’t take it."
Uesugi Sakura forced a smile, thinking if the mother-in-law found out he couldn’t even keep up with little Hanabi, she’d definitely look at him strangely.
But... but he really couldn’t help it.
He exercises every day, every day, but still can’t keep up with how formidable little Hanabi is.
Why?
The exhausted Uesugi Sakura suddenly realized something—based on the situation, even though Hanabi is the girl, she shouldn’t be stronger than him. But why is it that delicate as she is, she can go for half an hour to an hour at a time, and it feels like there’s no stopping her.
"Hanabi, have you gotten stronger recently?"
"Sakura-kun... in what way?"
"Physically."
"Physically, I’ve been dancing a lot recently, so it’s normal to improve."
"But, the improvement seems a bit exaggerated... forget it, let’s not dwell on this. Shall we stroll outside for a bit by ourselves, or go home?"
Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice was shy, she squeezed her thighs together and whispered to him:
"So I said Sakura-kun is the bad guy. In this situation, without dealing with it... how can we walk around!"
"Oh~" Uesugi Sakura suddenly remembered, "Right, right, I was being foolish."
"And Sakura-kun never uses... and doesn’t want a baby now, what if we did have a baby?"
"We’ll have it, though, the chance of Hanabi getting pregnant is nearly zero."
"Why, why? Sakura-kun got checked, it’s not Sakura-kun’s problem, so it should be Hanabi’s... Is there no way for Hanabi to have a baby?" Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice became increasingly heartbreaking as she spoke.
Uesugi Sakura knew she misunderstood, quickly saying: "No, no, Hanabi you are perfectly fine; don’t you remember the day at the hospital, they checked you too?"
"Seems like... that’s right?" Hanamaru Hanabi wasn’t entirely sure.
"Trust me."
Uesugi Sakura’s firm "trust me" stopped Hanamaru Hanabi from asking further.
Even if it seemed a bit strange, Hanamaru Hanabi was willing to trust him, just like how she never asked why he could turn into a cat.
And after Uesugi Sakura turned her into a kitty for fun, she’s never let him do that again.
Of course, since coming out of the love hotel, Hanamaru Hanabi wasn’t free from aftereffects.
Her aftereffect was feeling shy when she saw a train, thinking of items like handrails, straps, glass, seats, etc., which in turn reminded her of unpleasant images, making her feel embarrassed and blush.
Uesugi Sakura completely understood, because his impressions were just as deep.
"Hanabi."
"Hmm?"
"Shall we try having a baby?"
"Why did Sakura-kun suddenly say that?"
"No, no... I can’t really explain it, just suddenly felt like wanting to... sigh, but also not really wanting to, just so conflicted."
"Then it means Sakura-kun hasn’t made up his mind, and an undecided family is unfair to a baby." Hanamaru Hanabi gently stroked her belly.
Her movements were so tender, it made one feel as if she was already a mother preparing to conceive.
Uesugi Sakura said tenderly, "Hanabi, if you ever get pregnant, it’s bound to be really tough, and if I can, I’d like to share some of it with you."
"Sakura-kun, every husband thinks like that for their wife. But Hanabi would definitely want to have the baby herself."
"Because of maternal love?"
"Sakura-kun... Hanabi isn’t pregnant yet, talking about maternal love."
"Hahaha, maternal love doesn’t necessarily come only after being pregnant, even before that, there’s this instinct."
"Sakura-kun, do you think Hanabi has it?"
"Yes, absolutely yes. I feel it when I rest my head on your lap."
"Sakura-kun, are you thinking about having a lap pillow?"
"I want it, will Hanabi give it to me?"
"Nope, Hanabi decided beforehand not to always give in to Sakura-kun’s requests."
By "not always give in", she means—just a little coaxing and Hanabi will agree, right?
Sigh, Little Hanabi is really wonderful.
Even when she’s angry, she’s so cute and always thinks about others.
Clearly she’s such a beautiful girl.
Uesugi Sakura gazed outside the train window, watching the tiny snowflakes fall from the gradually darkening sky.
"Christmas, it’s slipping by so quickly, feels like we haven’t done anything fun."
"Sakura-kun... you have Hanabi by your side."
"Mm, hahaha! Only Hanabi is good to me, really, I’m content." Uesugi Sakura suddenly felt an urge to hug her, but since they were on a train, he restrained himself.
Ah, I’ll hug her slowly when we get home.
That hug earlier wasn’t enough.
The warmth and gentleness conveyed through body heat, truly unforgettable.
As Uesugi Sakura was lost in thought, Hanamaru Hanabi’s phone suddenly received a message from her sister, Hanamaru Yuuki.
[Sis! Keep Brother-in-law busy! We need a little more time to prepare!]
Hanamaru Hanabi secretly glanced at Uesugi Sakura, who was looking at the snowy scene outside, and then typed a reply on her phone:
[Got it.]
"Sakura-kun~"
Uesugi Sakura turned to look at her, recognizing the long-lost pampering tone in Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice, his heart warmed, his face smiling:
"What’s up? Suddenly calling me like that?"
Hanamaru Hanabi’s cheeks turned pink like cherry blossoms, she said: "It’s been over five hours.... Hanabi’s feeling a bit weak, so I want... Sakura-kun to get off and buy some tasty takoyaki for Hanabi."
"Takoyaki? Seems like there’s none around here."
"There is, definitely is! Sakura-kun, let’s get off at the next stop, Hanabi wants takoyaki."
Wants takoyaki?
A bit abrupt.
But how could Uesugi Sakura refuse his wife, she says get off, he readily agrees, no hesitation.
Holding Hanamaru Hanabi’s small hand as they walked across two streets, they just happened to see a takoyaki shop, Uesugi Sakura asked her to wait while he queued to buy.
"Is takoyaki delicious?"
"Delicious~ Hanabi wants to sit here, watch the street snow, then leave."
"Watch the street snow..." Uesugi Sakura slightly speechless, was the vast view at Skytree not entertaining enough which made Hanabi want to see the street snow twice?
"Sakura-kun~" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Why’re you coaxing again." Uesugi Sakura said with a touch of disdain, but his heart was blooming with joy.
No man would refuse a girl who was coddling while leaping into his arms.
"Hanabi wants a Christmas gift."
"Christmas gift? Buy! Anyway, I’ve earned some from the café recently, I’ll buy anything you want."
"Then let’s go to the lingerie store! It’s been so long since Hanabi visited."
"Lin... lingerie store?"
"What’s wrong, Sakura-kun, can’t?"
"Nothing much, just if we go look at lingerie now, we might be late going back, we still need to help decorate for the Christmas party."
"It’s alright, mom and the others can handle it."
"All of a sudden, I feel like Hanabi, you’re deliberately stalling me?"
"No!" Hanamaru Hanabi panicked inside, afraid that he had guessed it, so to divert his attention, Hanamaru Hanabi thought hard and finally blushed as she came up with an idea, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sakura-kun... like it in the car?"
"Really...?"
"Mm... Sakura-kun really is such an H."
"What even, it was obviously little Hanabi who suggested it first, now you’re blaming me."
