Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 942 - 550: The Morning That Will Always Return

Chapter 942: Chapter 550: The Morning That Will Always Return

In the morning, Uesugi Sakura woke up in Hanamaru Hanabi’s room.

He placed his hands behind his head, and gazed at the ceiling of her room, recalling the birthday celebration they threw for him last night.

The warm scene still lingered in his memory.

Ah, in a past life, he always thought that being alone was enough, living alone was sufficient.

But for creatures like humans, how could being alone ever be enough?

Calling it solitude was just a way to deceive oneself out of frustration.

However, Uesugi Sakura wouldn’t completely blame his past self, because back then he truly had no way—he couldn’t meet the right person, and his life seemed to have no prospects.

At that time, he thought it would be better to find a truck and just end it all.

If he were reborn in another world, maybe he could be the protagonist or something.

Of course, that was his past life.

In this life, after being reborn, he never thought of any weird otherworldly fantasies.

As for now, he has everything and feels fulfilled.

Why would he want to go to another world?

Uesugi Sakura glanced at the bookshelf in little Hanabi’s bedroom, then turned around to look at the girl sleeping beside him.

Except for her body, half of her face was buried under the blankets, covered with two thick quilts, and her cheeks were tinged with rosy cherry red.

"Hanabi-chan~~ Hanabi-chan~~"

"Mmm... what...?" Hanamaru Hanabi softly murmured, then turned her head and body to the other side.

"I want to hold you."

"Hug Hanabi... mmm... then go ahead, Sakura-kun."

"Then turn around."

Hanamaru Hanabi turned back towards him, eyes closed, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck.

Little Hanabi still had some waking grogginess, but she was very cute.

Uesugi Sakura took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Hanamaru Hanabi’s back, pulling her into his embrace.

Warmth spread through his embrace, as if wrapping his own heart with softness.

Uesugi Sakura rubbed their cheeks together for a while, eliciting a few lazy murmurs of "Why, Sakura-kun."

"Hanabi, do you want to sleep now?"

"Yes... let Hanabi sleep a little more."

"But I want to now..."

Hearing this, Hanamaru Hanabi became slightly more awake, pulling the quilt up to reveal her purple eyes: "Sakura-kun, thinking about this so early in the morning."

"Can’t I?"

"Hanabi wants to sleep..."

"Alright, I won’t disturb you then."

"Eh..." Hanamaru Hanabi called out to him, "Hanabi... Hanabi didn’t say, can’t..."

"Then... just now...?"

"Hanabi just doesn’t want to move, wants to sleep... if Sakura-kun wants, do it yourself... anyway, Hanabi won’t move."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice got softer and softer, until she buried her head completely.

Uesugi Sakura looked at the quilt covering her little head, and smiled faintly: "Okay."

——————

Feeling refreshed, Uesugi Sakura zipped up his coat, changed his clothes, then turned to look at Hanamaru Hanabi, still half-asleep in bed.

Her face was very flushed.

"Aren’t you getting up?"

"Sakura-kun... you only thought about yourself just now, didn’t you?"

"No, I was considerate of your feelings, Hanabi."

"Anyway, it’s just annoying, Sakura-kun!"

"Sakura-kun... bring Hanabi’s clothes over."

"What to wear today?" asked Uesugi Sakura, already dressed.

"Just yesterday’s, but the inner clothes need changing, and Sakura-kun, go out first... come back in when Hanabi is changed."

Uesugi Sakura sat beside her: "We’re already like an old married couple, can’t I stay in the room and watch you change clothes?"

"Pervert... also, what old married couple...?" Hanamaru Hanabi said, blushing, pushing his approaching face away with her arm, "Only been married 2 months... and Hanabi feels that she’s given too much recently, this can’t go on, starting today."

"Starting today what?" Uesugi Sakura suddenly felt a bad premonition. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Hanamaru Hanabi held up one finger: "Only once a week for intimacy."

"..."

"..."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Why, my dear~"

"No whining allowed! Being stuck together every day isn’t good, we have other things to do too. From being lovers to getting married, Sakura-kun and Hanabi... it feels like a long time, but actually very short, so intimacy opportunities... also, need to cherish them!"

Uesugi Sakura remembered that Hanabi-chan said something similar a while back.

During that while, they hardly touched; the most was holding hands and such.

Later...

Later...

It seems somehow, after coaxing her a bit, she agreed.

Indeed, girls are oddly sensitive about some things.

"Sakura-kun, are you listening?"

"Yeah, I am."

"If you’re listening, then hurry out, we have to go to school for exams today! It’s the last day of finals!"

"Dear wifey~" Uesugi Sakura wanted to protest a little more.

"Get out!"

Unfortunately, little Hanabi rejected him mercilessly.

She puffed up her cheeks, watching as Uesugi Sakura closed the door.

Uesugi Sakura also watched through the gradually shrinking gap, looking at her sitting on the big bed.

Until a click, when the door fully closed, Uesugi Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

There’s an indescribable warmth and happiness from secretly watching that gentle girl in the corner.

Watching her puff her cheeks in anger from not far away, watching her huff angrily and tell him to go out.

Thinking that he has such a small wife.

After closing the door, Uesugi Sakura thought about those scenes just now, and involuntarily his lips curled up into a smile.

Ah, is this what love feels like?

"Brother-in-law, since there’s no work today and both of you are going to school, why not take me with you?"
