Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

As Uesugi put down his umbrella and took the painting, Hanabi Hanabi explained softly, "This is the painting I promised to Kai-kun... I'm sorry... Kai-kun, Hanabi recently participated in a competition and only finished this painting yesterday."

Uesugi immediately recognized the subject of the painting: it depicted her smiling back at him amidst the dazzling lights and bustling crowds of the fireworks festival they attended together last year.

The girl lowered her head and clenched the hem of her clothes with her small hands.

"Hanabi had a lot of fun that day. Even though Kai-kun was still Kai-nii back then, Hanabi realized that Kai-kun didn't dislike her."

"Kai said that Hanabi should be drawn to resemble herself, but Hanabi is not very confident in herself."

"Hanabi is useless. She has always been a crybaby and has always been bullied."

"Everyone hates Hanabi... She doesn't talk much and doesn't smile much. Everyone says Hanabi is gloomy and can't even speak clearly."

"Nobody wants to be with Hanabi."

Kai Uesugi remembered again how she looked, huddled in a corner back then.

"Only Kai-kun...is willing to get close to Hanabi..."

Hanabi Hanamaru raised her head, her bright, lively eyes still shining.

"Hanabi knew that Kai-nii only treated Hanabi as a little sister, like a father, and accompanied her as she grew up, just like protecting her. But one day, Hanabi suddenly realized that she had fallen in love with him."

The girl spoke in a soft voice, enunciating each word clearly:

"If only Kai-nii could stay with Hanabi forever."

"Hanabi doesn't know what her special characteristics are, doesn't know what characteristics she has that would make Kai-nii like her, and doesn't have the confidence to tell Kai-nii directly."

"But thankfully, Hanabi found out about Kai's feelings for her that day."

"Hanabi secretly kissed him at night, and when she was caught, she didn't look at her sister."

The girl looked at the painting he had taken from his hand.

"So...Hanabi drew her own image of herself—insecure, spineless, unremarkable, and annoying...but she would give Kai a very beautiful smile."

Hanabi Hanamaru's youthful face revealed a smile as radiant as the one in the painting.

"Hanabi wasn't angry. On the contrary, Hanabi wanted to apologize for secretly kissing Kai-nii that day."

"So... Kai-kun, please accept this gift."

"I see."

Kai Uesugi listened patiently to every word she said, placed the painting on the cabinet beside him, and then looked up to ask her:

"Hanabi, why haven't you been replying to my messages lately?"

A blush crept onto Hanabi's cute little face: "Hanabi...I wasn't ready yet, Kai-kun kept touching me...it's so ticklish...Hanabi kept thinking, should I let Kai-kun do this...?"

Don't you like it?

"No...no..."

"That's good."

Uesugi Kai took two strides forward and scooped her up in his arms.

The weight of the girl's petite body was supported in his hands.

"Kai-kun..."

Hanabi Hanabi looked up at his handsome face above her.

Do you like Kai-kun?

"I like it..." she said in a soft, sweet voice.

In the room on the second floor, the girl was gently placed on the bed, her eyes gazing tenderly at him.

The sound of rain soaking the house outside tapped against the doors and windows.

Kai Uesugi sat down in front of her.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent.

A strange sensation gradually scorched the surrounding air.

Just sitting on the bed makes me feel a strange heat.

My heart, located just below my throat, started to race and pound.

"Let's kiss."

"Um......"

The scalding blood felt like it was being pumped directly into my brain, making my whole body feel dizzy.

The fine rain falling from the sky gently blends into puddles in the depressions.

Her snow-white thighs were caressed intimately.

They parted ways again after a long time.

"Won't it be too uncomfortable?"

"No......"

......

silent.

"Kai-kun, don't kiss my neck...it'll leave a mark..."

"fine."

......

"How did Little Fireworks know this?"

"On TV..."

"It has caused great harm."

......

"It's so itchy..."

"Little Flower, do you want to know what you smell like?" Uesugi Kai didn't stop.

"What...?" The girl's breathing had become hot and deep.

"A fragrant, youthful scent, with a hint of fresh lily fragrance."

Raindrops on lotus leaves, when they gather in large numbers, will slide off and separate.

"Do you want to get married?" Uesugi Kai asked, sitting on the edge of the girl's bed.

"Hanabi..." Hanabi's beautiful, purplish-red eyes began to dart away again, her face flushed with sweat, and she dared not look at him.

The wide neckline of the shark t-shirt revealed a pale collarbone tinged with a faint blush.

"Do you remember the ring your aunt bought?"

"Kai-kun...would you like to wear it?"

"Although we are both too old to get married, it's still okay for us to wear rings."

"Do we have to wear them to school too?"

"Correct."

"I hope Daddy won't be angry..."

"Uncle, you can hit me all you want."

"..."

If Uesugi Kai himself were in that situation, he would definitely be angry if his 5-year-old daughter was completely seduced before he even grew up.

Not to mention how Hanamaru Hiroki, who has cared for fireworks since childhood, must feel.

###Chapter 134 The Hanamaru Family's Daily Chat###

June truly lives up to its name as the plum rain season.

The rain was even heavier today than yesterday, so the semi-final match scheduled for today was forced to be canceled.

As for Uesugi, he was happy to slack off freely.

Hanabi Hanamaru, with a shark plush toy on her lap, holding down her skirt, shyly stretched out her foot and whispered, "Really...do I have to do this?"

"It's just helping you put on some stockings, nothing special."

The girl's feet were tiny, small feet that could be held in one hand.

One hand is enough to hold it in the palm of your hand.

Thin white silk slowly wrapped around her fair and delicate feet, passing through her small ankles, and gently moving upwards along her slender legs and smooth skin.

It showcases the soft curves of the girl's legs, as if drawn with a paintbrush.

Hanabi Hanamaru closed her eyes shyly, too embarrassed to look, and could only hug her shark plush toy for comfort.

"Kai-kun...you're acting so strange..."

"Is it strange?" he asked rhetorically, stroking her snow-white legs as he rose and moved closer to her face.

The breath was hot and moist.

Soft, sweet lips, infused with the fragrance of a young girl.

"Aren't you bothered by me getting so close?"

"No..." Hanabi said weakly, pursing her cherry lips, the other's scent still lingering on them.

"Kai-kun...does he only like fireworks?"

His words still betrayed a lack of self-confidence stemming from his inferiority complex.

"correct."

He kissed her again—it was a really addictive feeling.
