Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 936 - 547: Sakura’s Birthday Party

Since Hanabi suddenly wanted to visit a lingerie store, Uesugi Sakura went along with her.

Lingerie stores, well, they’re not really places where you’d find your average guy.

But Uesugi, well, he’s one of the thick-skinned ones... one of them anyway.

So he accompanied Hanamaru Hanabi to the lingerie store.

You know, Hanabi-chan definitely wouldn’t let herself go to such a place alone.

After all, it’s all about girls’ private intimate apparel.

Even now, Hanamaru Hanabi is still embarrassed to hold up a bra in front of him and ask if it fits.

Of course, Uesugi Sakura has no clue if it fits either.

All he knows is that his palm can cover roughly, and he’s forgotten Hanabi’s cup size.

In fact, Uesugi Sakura didn’t participate at all in the process of buying lingerie; he just sat on a sofa nearby, propping his face, watching his wife talk with the saleswoman over a lace lingerie.

"Isn’t it the most boring thing to accompany a woman shopping for clothes?" said another guy in the store with a face full of sorrow and resentment.

"No way," Uesugi Sakura replied.

"Pfft, your thoughts are all over your face! Look at my girlfriend over there, picking and choosing for over an hour... I really... love her to death, hahaha."

The final "hahaha" was a rather forced laugh.

The man before him was experiencing immense emotional suffering.

This was the sudden thought that occurred to Uesugi Sakura.

He reached out and patted the guy’s shoulder.

"Today’s Christmas. Cheer up. Going out with your girlfriend should be a happy thing."

"Happy? Yeah... really happy... We had kaiseki in Ginza in the morning, booked a month in advance, spent 150,000 yen, then went to Chanel to buy some crappy handbag, 400,000 yen!!!"

The man hugged his head, on the verge of breakdown.

"My annual salary is only tens of thousands of yen, and after expenses, she nearly spent half my savings, not to mention buying the bag, she’s insisting on buying clothes... thousands and thousands just gone, and now we’re at this branded lingerie store, a single piece here costs tens of thousands! I... I... I just can’t afford it!"

Uesugi Sakura, watching the man’s distress, felt compelled to offer some comfort: "Look on the bright side, maybe your generosity is what makes her love you?"

"Yes... yes, yes, yes!" The man clung to this like a lifeline, "She definitely will love me. There’s no man more generous than me, spending years of savings for her expenses, for her comfort, for her buying pretty clothes, she definitely will like me!"

Just now, Uesugi Sakura said it merely to comfort him.

But now, the more he listened, the more he felt this guy was a sucker?

"Honey~~"

A flamboyantly dressed woman appeared, handing lingerie to the cashier and coming over to find the man.

At first glance, the lady noticed Uesugi Sakura sitting next to the man.

That face...

That face...

That face!

The woman instantly felt like she was having a heart attack, no, more like her heart was blooming with joy!

Where did this handsome kid come from?

Just a glance from outside, you can tell he’s got a great figure!

She quickly smiled and asked the man, "Honey~~ is the person next to you your friend?"

"Him?" The man snapped out of his head-scratching state, "No, he’s a stranger, we just happened to sit together."

"But I just saw you two chatting... I didn’t look carefully at first, but who would have thought it’s a cute guy~~ Hi there~~"

The flashy woman waved at him.

This lady...

Uesugi Sakura knows he shouldn’t judge others’ styles carelessly.

But he really couldn’t appreciate women who spoke in such a cutesy voice.

Plus, with the heavy makeup and an overpowering scent of perfume.

"Hi there, handsome~"

"Hello..."

Uesugi Sakura responded politely.

"Are you here alone shopping for clothes?"

He must be an idiot, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but criticize silently.

That’s not how you make small talk; that’s not how you bring up a topic.

And doesn’t she see what kind of store this is? A women’s lingerie store!

Since it’s a women’s lingerie store, could he, a guy, come here alone to buy clothes?

Is she pretending to be innocent, or is she just plain dumb?

It’s Uesugi Sakura’s first time encountering such a woman, he couldn’t quite see through her beneath the surface.

"No."

"No, huh? Do you have a girlfriend or a little lady or something? If not, that’s best, if you do, it’s okay with me too! You can bring your little girlfriend along~~"

The woman seemed to be getting closer to him.

Nope, can’t take it anymore.

Uesugi Sakura genuinely felt disgusted physically.

"Miyairi Shuji!"

The words were blatant, the man obviously couldn’t sit still, his brow almost knitted into one, "How many times have I told you? Don’t flirt with other men in front of me, outside!!"

The woman who was all smiles at Uesugi Sakura instantly had her face drop, she turned to glance at the man, "What’s up? You got a problem with me?!"

With one glare from Miyairi Shuji and a straightforward approach, the man lost his momentum by three points, slumping back onto the couch cushions.

Uesugi Sakura now understood, he was truly licking it.

"Seriously, what’s with men thinking they can boss me around just because they have some cash? Besides, nothing’s really happened yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
