Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 937 - 547: Sakura-kun’s Birthday Party (Part 2)

Chapter 937: Chapter 547: Sakura-kun’s Birthday Party (Part 2)

Miyairi Shuji seemed to realize her own faux pas, so she quickly covered her mouth in surprise and then laughed as she said to Uesugi Sakura:

"Sorry, handsome, I lost my composure just now."

"No worries..."

"You wouldn’t mind it, would you, handsome?"

"I don’t mind at all, your man."

"Huh? That’s my boyfriend, not my husband, though he prefers being called that... But you, handsome, do you have a girlfriend? You should, being so good-looking. Haha, if I were younger, I’d definitely write you a love letter and pursue you relentlessly."

"Sakura... Money, huh? Who is this?" Hanamaru Hanabi walked over, wanting to ask Uesugi Sakura for some money to pay the bill.

As she approached, she saw a flashy woman in front of her, somewhat shorter than herself.

"Who is this?"

"Don’t know." Uesugi Sakura stood up and said, "Just a stranger I’ve exchanged a few words with."

This... this girl...?!

Even though I don’t want to admit it, even though I want to stomp my feet, Miyairi Shuji couldn’t deny that the girl in front looked a tad prettier than her.

Just a tad prettier!

Why does this girl look so stunning?

Damn, it’s so unfair.

Miyairi Shuji tried her best to hide the anger beneath her mask,

Upon seeing Hanamaru Hanabi’s appearance, and noticing the matching rings on both of them,

Miyairi Shuji realized she didn’t stand a chance.

Feeling frustrated after losing the plump pigeon, Miyairi Shuji hastily urged the store clerk to wrap it up, and then had the man pay the bill as she exited the lingerie store, pulling him along.

Hanamaru Hanabi’s face was full of confusion: "That’s so odd."

Uesugi Sakura chuckled: "What’s odd about it?"

"Why did that... auntie, look at Hanabi and then just leave? She looked really mad."

Uesugi Sakura coughed twice into his right fist and said earnestly, "Hanabi-chan, you have to understand, there is competition among women; those with weaker competition get eliminated, just like peacocks showing off their feathers, small ones are squeezed out by big ones, and she was more like a turkey than a peacock."

"Sakura-kun, you’re not allowed to attack someone’s appearance!"

"Hanabi, you’re misunderstanding, I wasn’t talking about her appearance, I was talking about her soul, her soul is like a bare turkey on Christmas Eve, nothing but grease."

Thinking of that guy earlier,

Sigh, the poor guy’s in a bind, used as an ATM, probably trapped with no escape, forced to compromise step by step, digging himself in deeper.

"Enough of that, Sakura-kun, help Hanabi pay, I’ve picked out my lingerie."

"Oh, sure!"

Buying clothes for the wife, naturally happy.

Wait a minute, this doesn’t seem right.

Doesn’t that make me essentially the same as that guy earlier?

But this thought lasted only half a second before he dismissed it.

Miyairi Shuji doesn’t love that man, but Hanabi loves me and I love her.

This mutual pursuit creates a different emotional perspective.

How can we be compared to that pair earlier?

They’re together because of money.

But Hanabi and I are together because of fate.

"Thanks for your patronage."

Leaving the store, Sakihara Raku, carrying a tote bag, asked Hanabi-chan beside him: "What kind of lingerie did you buy?"

"Just... an ordinary bra, lately I’ve felt a bit... tight..."

"You’ve grown up?!"

"Stop it! Even if I’ve grown up, I won’t let Sakura-kun touch." In a fit of embarrassment, Hanamaru Hanabi covered her chest with one hand.

"Come on, wasn’t it just this afternoon?"

"Sakura-kun, you’re such a bad guy! Don’t talk about it!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t speak of it."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s face was flushed, standing on the snowy street, she stammered: "And... the bra was just one item."

"What else did you buy?"

"Well, I didn’t really buy it... I just couldn’t decide... because that set of white lace lingerie, almost transparent."

Oh~~

Uesugi Sakura understood, couple’s lingerie, right.

Little Hanabi at the right moment, had she not mentioned it, he would’ve forgotten.

Previously he bought her one, but she wouldn’t wear it for anything.

Understandably, shy girl. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Then shall we head back now?"

"What for?"

"To buy it. Consider it one of my Christmas gifts to you."

"Hanabi, Hanabi doesn’t want that as a gift!" Hanamaru Hanabi shouted in embarrassment.

"Really don’t want it?"

To be honest, Uesugi Sakura didn’t want to force her at all.

"Don’t want it..."

"Then let’s leave."

"Yes, let’s go. Sakura, you’re such a bad guy, always thinking about H stuff."

"Can’t blame me, it’s a women’s lingerie store, and who knows what perfume the shopkeeper sprayed. Looking at those clothes just makes my thoughts run wild."

"You mustn’t let your imagination run wild!"

"Ah? Okay, I won’t do it anymore."

Uesugi Sakura’s phone suddenly rang, and she answered it right in front of Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Hello, auntie."

"Ah, little Sakura, take another half hour and then come back, okay? Remember to pick up some balloons and LED light strings, we’re running low."

"Ah? Okay, got it."

"Who was that?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked quietly.

"Your mom, also my mom... Ah, let’s not talk about this. Let’s go! Let’s stroll the night market together, and after that, we’ll go home for Christmas!"

"Mm!" Hanamaru Hanabi nodded firmly while holding his hand.

...

But after just a few steps, Hanamaru Hanabi called to him.

"What’s up?"

"Didn’t you want to buy that, Sakura?"

Uesugi Sakura laughed, "That what?"

"That, that thing we just talked about..." Hanamaru Hanabi quickly realized why he was asking this way, "Sakura, you’re definitely asking on purpose!"

Uesugi Sakura stopped teasing her, even though angry little Hanabi-chan was especially cute, "You mean the couple’s lingerie, right?"

"Mm..."

"Does Hanabi want to buy it?"

"It’s Sakura who wants to buy it!"

"Yes, that’s right, I want to buy it because Sakura is H, so I want to buy it, right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi sneaked a glance at him and then bashfully said, "Sakura... Sakura knows best..."

"But now I don’t want to buy it anymore?"

"Then let’s not buy it!"

"Oh, no!" Uesugi Sakura quickly grabbed her little arm, "I was just joking."

"Sakura, you’re being mean! Always teasing Hanabi... bullying Hanabi because I’m not as clever as you..."

"What are you talking about, Hanabi, you’re not dumb. Alright, let’s go back together."

Uesugi Sakura said, trying to pull Hanamaru Hanabi back to the lingerie store, but she appeared a little shy.

"What’s wrong?"

"How about, Sakura goes and buys it alone."

"Why?"

"Because buying such clothes, the shop assistant will definitely laugh at Hanabi..."

"That’s true." Uesugi Sakura thought for a moment, "Then Hanabi, you wait here, I’ll go buy it."

It took about five minutes for Uesugi Sakura to find the couple’s lingerie Hanabi mentioned and bought it.

It was quite expensive, 40,000 yen, said to be made of high-quality material.

Uesugi Sakura could still remember the saleslady’s smiling face when he left the store.

She’s probably talking about him now among her colleagues.

She might even mention Hanabi-chan, probably couldn’t believe how cute she is and yet...

Ahem ahem.

Sitting on the train home, Uesugi Sakura smiled and asked the girl beside him:

"Why are you being so nice to me today?"

"What... what do you mean being so nice?"

"Isn’t today good enough, Hanabi has been very accommodating to me all day."

"It’s just a normal vibe, isn’t it..."

"No, it’s not normal, not at all, in the past, Hanabi would mostly refuse or avoid me in this situation."
