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

The innocent young girl, with her tender and beautiful demeanor, is captivating.

------

"Oh? Kai and Hanabi, are you wearing those rings?" Mrs. Hanamaru smiled knowingly.

"Dad...he won't be angry, will he?" Hanabi asked, her head bowed as she stirred the milk in her glass with a spoon.

On her ring finger was a bright silver ring.

"What can he do? We've already told him about this, it's just a matter of whether he accepts it or not."

Mrs. Hanamaru's face showed a mother's kind smile.

"Also, I was pregnant with Xiaohuahuo when I was in college."

Uesugi understood the meaning of those words.

Mrs. Hanamaru is 34 years old and Hanamaru Hanabi is 5 years old.

This indirectly proves that his father-in-law was also a frivolous fellow in his youth.

"So, it's safe now?" Uesugi Kai was eating breakfast at Hanamaru's house again.

"It's hard to say if it's safe. It will definitely take time for Dad to accept it, after all, he used to be a very strong-willed guy." Mrs. Hanamaru raised her violet eyes slightly, as if she was recalling something.

"It may sound harsh, but if the two of you get too close, you really need to take precautions."

"What...measures?" Hanabi Hanamaru hadn't reacted yet; her mind was still preoccupied with the kissing incident.

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled at her daughter: "Little Hanabi wants Mommy to hold her grandson?"

My little grandson...that is...

Her cute face turned bright red instantly.

Kai Uesugi finally understood that everyone in the Hanamaru family, except for Hanabi, was frivolous.

"There's one more thing I'd like to tell you."

"Before that, I must also explain my views on you."

Mrs. Hanamaru paused slightly before continuing in a gentler tone:

"Little Fireworks has grown up. As her mother, I am very gratified to watch her grow up step by step."

“I know she wasn’t very popular when she was little, and that’s probably why she’s always been so dependent on you, Xiaokai.”

“I know about kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school.”

“Schools in this society have many flaws, and these flaws have always existed—if no one in the school had encouraged Xiaohuahuo… she wouldn’t be as healthy as she is now, and things might even be worse.”

“We parents can’t help her much at school because children always have to grow up independently.”

Mrs. Hanamaru looked at Kai Uesugi:

"Therefore, as your childhood friend Kai, your existence is especially important in Hanabi's heart."

“Xiao Chao, you’ve helped her so much, it’s only natural that she would like you… My father and I noticed this many years ago.”

"Although you keep saying that Hanabi is your younger sister, how could we, as elders, not see through it?"

Mrs. Hanamaru looked up and glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi beside him.

"Perhaps you just haven't shifted from the mindset of always protecting her, but once you truly enter adolescence, the already close relationship between you will quickly intensify and become inseparable."

At this point, she smiled knowingly, like a mother.

"Xiao Huahuo was the most obvious; for a long time, she would stay in her room every day, lost in thought."

"Accompanying is the longest confession of love. I believe that you have a solid foundation to continue to grow together after twelve years of growing together."

"That's why I'm willing to be less restrictive of Xiaohuahuo, and even intentionally or unintentionally help you."

"This is what I, as a mother, want to tell you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Hanamaru smiled again.

"You two can rely on each other, but I, as a housewife, feel so bored without your little sparks, so—"

She didn't continue, but Uesugi Kai understood what she meant.

"Wh...what...?" Hanabi Hanamaru was still patiently waiting for her mother to finish speaking.

Mrs. Hanamaru maintained her smile and did not say anything.

The girl grew increasingly confused, so Uesugi whispered in her ear, "You're going to have a younger brother or sister."

"..."

A moment of silence.

"Really...?"

Hanabi Hanamaru blinked her beautiful eyes, just like her mother's.

"It's been more than a month now."

Mrs. Hanamaru said casually, "I hope it's a boy. I'd also like to take care of a boy myself."

"Is it your younger brother...?" Hanabi Hanamaru asked curiously, a look of wonder on her face.

Upon hearing the name of this creature, Kai Uesugi felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Is this guy going to come and fight with me over who's my girlfriend?

Upon closer examination, this is indeed the case.

That guy must have been very dependent on his sister who is 6 years older than him since he was born, and he'll probably stick to her even more when he gets a little older.

It's always sticking to me!

There is no longer any private space for the two of them!

Seeing Hanabi hugging him and smiling makes me feel "a little bit" uncomfortable.

Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief; his father-in-law was truly a great help.

"Kai-kun, Hanabi is going to have a younger brother."

Hanabi Hanamaru seemed very happy.

“Maybe there are two?” Uesugi said with a smile.

"My two younger brothers are great too."

"Doesn't Hanabi like her younger sister?"

“Both a younger sister and a younger brother are fine.” Hanabi Hanamaru suddenly paused, “Does Kai-kun prefer a younger sister?”

"of course not."

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled and stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, you two are showing off your affection in front of your mother."

“I would prefer a boy, but my dad still wants a girl. But for both of us, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, since we already have our daughter, Xiaohuahuo.”

###Chapter 135: Daily Romantic Relationships Are Really All About Chatting###

On the third day of June, Monday, the sky was still overcast and weeping, typical of the rainy season.

The district archery tournament has been moved to this Saturday.

Having gone through three battles, the Kamigoshi Archery Club has become a dark horse that has attracted much attention in this team competition.

I have high hopes for their match against Michi.

------

"Um... Kai-kun, good morning."

Kai Uesugi straightened the small red scarf on his black sailor uniform.

"Why are you greeting me like a stranger?"

Hanabi Hanamaru seemed a little flustered. "Really, really do I have to wear it...? Everyone will be watching Hanabi."

"Don't you think you look much better after you put on the ring?"

She glanced at herself in the mirror, wearing her school uniform, then quickly looked away, her heart pounding.

"It looks much better."

From behind, Uesugi Kai gently wrapped his arms around her soft waist through her school uniform, quietly slipped his nose close to her delicate ear, and whispered softly:

"I'll wear it from now on, and Little Firework will always look this beautiful."

The soft, sweet scent of the young girl stirred a fluttering heartstring.

Her cuteness has reached an irresistible level, and it seems the whole world is captivated by it.

Feeling his head leaning in from the side, and his hot breath, Hanabi closed her eyes tightly, pursed her lips, and nodded slightly.

......

After a long while, she opened her blinking eyes again, tilted her head to the side, and said, word by word, "Kai-kun...don't you want to kiss me?"

"We can't stay this lovey-dovey all the time; we need to maintain some distance."

Although she didn't know why she had to keep her distance, Hanamaru Hanabi suppressed her burning desire and whispered her agreement:

"Ah."

"You seem to be sweating."

"The fireworks... are a little hot..."
