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

"Let's go to the pool."

------

Generally speaking, this situation is what is known as a welfare complex.

In the swimming pool.

Hanabi Hanamaru's snow-white neck was adorned with a ribbon, and her shoulders were spread wide as she tried to stretch out her arms in the undulating water.

But every time she opens her arms, her body involuntarily sinks down.

"棣,棣君!"

Hearing her panicked, weak voice, Uesugi Kai had no choice but to go up and support her soft belly.

He held the girl's small face as she surfaced and said, supporting her waist:

"First of all, you can't even float, how can you swim? Didn't you learn before?"

"Hanabi...Hanabi forgot..." Hanabi's hair was wet, and she held onto his arm with her small hands, not daring to let go.

Kai Uesugi knew where her problem lay. "You're afraid of water. Your body and muscles are too tense, and you're breathing too fast."

"Overcoming these points will solve the problem."

Hanabi Hanabi stared at him blankly, her violet eyes shining even brighter in the setting sun.

Feeling the girl's small hand gripping his arm tightly, Uesugi Kai sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll let you get used to it slowly."

It turns out that Hanabi Hanamoto is really afraid of water. Even when her lower abdomen was supported while she swam in the shallow water, she couldn't swim.

Her petite body was taut and stiff, her entire body pressed against his hand by her belly.

This is purely because she is afraid of water; there is no other way but to help her adapt.

After training for more than half an hour, Ayaka Rie had already mastered the knack, but Hanamaru Hanabi was still stuck in the same place.

The four of them had no choice but to get out of the water and rest for a while.

"What would you like to drink?" Jiu Shi Li Xiang asked.

Ayaka Riei: "Black tea."

Hanamaru Hanabi: "Milk."

Kai Uesugi: "Do you have hot coffee?"

"We have everything, but we'll need to prepare some hot coffee."

There was no one around except them.

"Did student number 90 prepare on their own?"

Jiu Shi Li Xiang said casually, "I still prefer to do things myself. I only had the driver pick you up because I can't drive."

"Very unique." Uesugi Kai silently gave her a thumbs up. "She's definitely a type of rich girl."

Jiu Shi Li Xiang glanced at him, then turned and waved her hand, saying:

"Alright, I'll go prepare some drinks for you guys, and I'll also bring some cake and cookies while I'm at it."

"you..."

Of the remaining three, Ayaka Rie knew better than to stay next to the two of them and just watch them being lovey-dovey, so she quickly caught up with Jiuji barefoot.

"Squad leader, wait for me!"

Under the brilliant sunset, only the two of them remained alone once again.

The dark clouds on the horizon rolled and contracted into the distance as if they were being scorched, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Kai Uesugi pulled back the wet ribbon tied around the girl's neck, looking at the faint red mark above it.

"Hasn't it disappeared yet?"

"No..." Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head gently, her voice shy and low.

Uesugi tied it back on for her. "Everyone knows now?"

"Only the class president and Riyo-chan know..."

"They didn't laugh at you, did they?"

"No..." came the weak voice again.

The curves of the girl's figure were outlined and emphasized under her wet swimsuit.

Kai Uesugi picked up a towel from the side and dried her wet hair.

Hanabi Hanabi lowered her head slightly: "Sorry... Kai-kun, Hanabi is clumsy."

Kai Uesugi put down the towel and pinched her little nose. "Being silly has its advantages, it's not a big deal."

My hair, which I had just dried, was very messy.

"Hanabi, I'll have to raise Kai-kun in the future."

It means you can't be too stupid, otherwise you won't make money.

A smile played on Uesugi Kai's lips. "Hanabi really took it seriously?"

A few glistening, sincere tears clung to Hanabi's small, adorable face. "Hanabi is serious, Kai-kun, please rest assured."

The girl's soft voice was unusually firm, creating a strange contrast.

"Kai-kun took such good care of Hanabi in the past, and Hanabi always remembered it. Now it's Hanabi's turn to take care of Kai-kun."

What if my uncle disagrees?

"Hanabi will try to get Dad to agree."

"Is Hanabi really going to raise Kai-kun?" Uesugi Kai smiled.

"Really!" Hanabi Hanamaru said, emphasizing her words with utmost seriousness, as she knew Uesugi Kai still didn't believe her.

Her violet eyes were fixed on him, unmoving.

Kai Uesugi knew she was serious, so he took her damp little hand, held it, and said, "I haven't needed you to work hard every day to earn money yet. What will I do if Hanabi gets tired one day?"

Gazing into her jewel-like eyes, pure and flawless.

Will someone grow old alone, clutching your photo?

Kai Uesugi hugged her.

"We've known each other for twelve years, and we've long since deeply remembered each other in our hearts, occupying an inalienable place in our lives. We must work together to move forward together."

Slowly nestled into a comforting embrace, we gazed together through the dense forest at the bright, fiery red sunset in the sky.

Hearing those words, the girl's heart fluttered, and she whispered, "Kai-kun... if Hanabi accidentally breaks her promise... and can't always be with Kai-kun... please don't stay alone forever."

"Even from afar, Hanabi will be happy to see Kai-kun looking so happy."

"What if I'm no longer here?"

Upon hearing this, Hanabi's eyes gradually lost their luster. "Hanabi... will live well... will always stay by Kai-kun's side... Kai-kun must be very lonely... he needs Hanabi to keep him company."

"This is unfair to Hanabi."

The girl's petite body leaned against his firm chest.

"Hanabi wasn't pretty before... When she was bullied, only Kai-kun helped her... So... it was worth it..."

Kai Uesugi realized that perhaps the seeds of this feeling had been sown long ago.

The bullied younger sister relies on her aloof but protective older brother. As an adult, the older brother doesn't want to see her so sad and upset, and is ostracized to the point of depression.

At that time, no one realized that it would blossom and bear fruit.

"How did we end up talking about this?" Uesugi Kai put his arm around the girl's shoulder and pushed her away. "Weren't we going to teach you how to swim?"

"Kai-kun..." Hanabi Hanamaru answered irrelevantly, her heart pounding.

"what happened?"

"Today... Dad's not coming home... Hanabi... wants to sleep at Kai-kun's place..."

Kai Uesugi paused for a moment, then said, "My parents are going home."

"Then..." Hanabi Hanabi seemed unwilling to give up, and said shyly, "Kai-kun... come over here..."

The girl's fair thighs, with their exquisitely defined lines outlined under her swimsuit, also stirred his heart.

"Where's Auntie?"

"Mom said...she went to bed very early..."

Kai Uesugi glanced at the road he had come from; Rika Kuju and Rika Ayaka had not yet returned.

"Then... I'll come over tonight?"

"Okay..." Hanabi whispered, "But Kai-kun can't do bad things..."

"Touching your waist?"

"Yes, yes, that's fine..."

Hanabi Hanamaru's hair was damp, and her pair of bright purple eyes were full of life. Her cute and petite figure made people want to hug her.

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but look her up and down, his gaze lingering on some strange spots.

The girl could naturally feel his gaze.

Her soft, bouncy face once again showed that shyness and bashfulness.

"Kai-kun, do you like Hanabi wearing this kind of outfit?"

"No, it's just that the thought of being able to hold you while sleeping at night is wonderful."

"Want to go for another swim?"

"Hanabi listens to Kai-kun... but Hanabi can't swim either..."

"I'll support you, swim slowly, the most important thing is to relax."

The pool water rippled gently, and the afterglow of the red sun hanging high in the sky shimmered on the clear water.

A beautiful body swam in the water, its tender white thighs and delicate, voluptuous feet swaying gracefully up and down. Every now and then, it would slip out of the water, the splashes it created shimmering brilliantly in the orange-red sunset.
