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

"Goto."

Kai Uesugi called out to Iwakatsu Goto, who had just sat back down at the table in front of him.

"Is Uesugi, who's the envy of the whole school, going to have another talk with me, this poor soul?" Goto munched on the pineapple bun he'd bought yesterday but hadn't had a chance to eat yet.

"What title will you give me this time?"

"Ahem...Has Hanamaru-kun been particularly cute lately?"

"My fiancée has always been lovely."

"..."

Goto Iwakatsu clutched his chest, took two deep breaths, and said, "Recently, I discovered that Hanamaru-kun actually has a fan club."

When Xiaohuahuo first entered school, she was practically invisible. Although she was cute, she didn't have much of a presence.

Fan clubs have never been relevant to someone as insignificant as her.

After all, she won't respond to the enthusiasm of her fans.

"Aren't you worried?" Goto took a bite of his pineapple bun and saw that he was still flipping through his book to review his lessons.

Kai Uesugi's usual indifferent expression: "What do I have to worry about with my fiancée?"

"I really hate people who are 'normies,' Uesugi. They always manage to hurt other people's feelings unintentionally." Goto suddenly wondered why this brand of pineapple bun was so sour—it was so strange!

"So, are you short of money or not?"

“It’s missing.” Goto nodded solemnly.

"Would you like to participate in an event where you can earn hundreds of thousands of yen just by slacking off?"

"Just don't make me sell my body, except for beautiful girls."

Kai Uesugi put his hand on Goto's shoulder and said seriously, "Congratulations on winning 50 yen. You are now a member of the kendo club."

"No problem... W-what?"

Goto quickly brushed his hand away, "When did I agree to join the kendo club?"

Uesugi Kai withdrew his hand, his slender fingers continuing to turn the pages of his math book, making a rustling sound as he repeated what he had just said:

"Just don't make me sell my body, except for beautiful girls."

"Why would you want me, a weakling from the photography club, to join the kendo club?"

While memorizing the key points of a mathematical formula, Uesugi Kai answered him, "Just make up the numbers."

"?"

"Doesn't your kendo club have anyone?"

"There are definitely opportunities, but just to make up the numbers and get the 50 yuan from the school—wasn't it a great opportunity that I thought of you first?"

After Uesugi said that, Goto suddenly understood.

"Good brother!" Goto Iwakatsu put his hand on his shoulder again. "Just tell me if you need anything, and I, Goto, will do my best to meet your needs."

"Just answer one question." Uesugi Kai said expressionlessly.

"Ask whatever you want!"

Who is the president of the Fireworks Fan Club?

"..."

------

After lunch, the sun was distorted as if melting everything, and Hanabi Hanabi insisted on running on the playground.

She sometimes works very hard, I don’t know if it counts as being competitive, but now she has difficulty even going down the stairs.

Kai Uesugi gazed at the dazzling white track, holding a bottle of room-temperature mineral water in her hand, patiently waiting for her to finish running her goal for the day.

Her white tracksuit had the words "Hana Maru" written on it, and beads of sweat flowed freely under the blazing summer sky along with her short, flowing hair.

Her snow-white legs, hidden beneath her shorts, were flushed red from running, and her panting face showed unwavering determination.

It has to be said that although Xiaohuahuo is clumsy when running, she is very eye-catching. Boys passing by the playground can't help but turn their heads to take a look at her.

While it may not have the same dramatic effect as a skirt with its up-and-down hem, girls in sportswear shorts are still incredibly attractive when they run.

"hu~hu~"

His little head was fuzzy and he was about to faint. The ground that had been so stable in his eyes began to shake.

The solid ground seemed to float like clouds. Having persevered and completed her final goal for the day, Hanabi Hanabi's face was flushed. She supported herself on her knees with her hands and was panting heavily.

Kai Uesugi approached her while holding a bottle of mineral water.

"Don't stop right away when you're so tired."

He put his arm around her soft, hot waist and let her place her right hand on his neck. "Let's walk a little further."

"Um..."

Hanabi Hanabi, still panting, leaned on him and tried her best to move her tired legs.

The scorching heat of June hit her skin directly, turning into sweat inside the girl's thin white tracksuit. The sweat soaked through her skin and clung to it, making the faint pink tinge of her skin appear and disappear.

"You can train in the afternoon too; there's no need to come at noon when the sun is so strong."

"Hanabi..."

Hanabi Hanabi turned her head, giving him that same beautiful smile as always. "Hanabi... I want to study with Kai-kun this afternoon... the goal... is to finish by noon..."

Her chest was still sore from the intense exercise, and the girl's voice was broken and gasping for breath.

She always manages to warm people's hearts unintentionally.

"If we get married, will our relationship still be this good?"

"Kai-kun... has been with Hanabi for twelve years... and will definitely continue to be so in the future..."

"It's been twelve years, but lately I've grown to like you more and more." Uesugi Kai said this with more seriousness than ever before.

"Thank you, Kai-kun... Hanabi had a lot of fun..."

He put his arm around her waist, holding the girl's petite body close to his side, warm and sweet.

"Have I been acting a little strange lately?"

"It's...it's alright..." Hanabi Hanamaru said, her face flushed for some reason. "It's just that when Kai-kun...helps Hanabi put on her socks...he likes to touch her feet..."

###Chapter 164 "Daily Life"###

"Then let's go home this afternoon..." Uesugi Kai said, supporting her, without finishing his sentence.

Looking down at her running shoes on the scorching track, Hanabi whispered, "Kai... Kai-kun, please don't go too far, Hanabi... it'll look weird..."

"It's cute, not weird."

Hanabi Hanamaru seemed to have thought of something and suddenly pushed him away.

At noon, the track suddenly became as hot as a teppanyaki grill, and the heat pumped from my feet to my head.

"Kai-kun is a bad guy."

"How did you become a bad guy again?"

"I like to touch fireworks."

"Isn't it normal to touch a little firework?"

"Touching...touching randomly..."

Hanabi Hanamaru was very shy, her weak voice almost inaudible, "It will... it will become very strange..."

Although Xiaohuabi called him a bad guy, she still didn't resist him taking her hand.

The two sat down together under the rows of green trees beside the playground.

The green leaves shone brightly in the sunlight. Uesugi Kai pinched the girl's shy chin, looking at her slightly pursed thin lips and her shimmering purple eyes.

With her permission, he leaned in and kissed her.

Even though I've kissed her many times, the innocent, youthful scent of her still lingers in my memory.

They twirled and bit each other for a long time without separating.

Hanabi Hanabi placed her two small hands on his chest and pushed him away.

"Is it very hot?" Uesugi Kai asked, looking at her fair neck glistening with sweat.

The collar of the white tracksuit was wet, highlighting the lines of the collarbone.

The kiss ended abruptly halfway through, leaving me wanting more.

"Yes, someone will see it."

"It's not a big deal if they see it, is it? Other couples at school do the same thing, don't they?"

"no..."

Hanabi Hanamaru couldn't escape his gaze, so she lowered her head, pursed her reluctant lips, and shook her head like a little rabbit, "No...we can't kiss at school."

She doesn't like being watched by others, let alone intimate gestures like kissing.

"I'll listen to you," Uesugi Kai said. "Does Hanabi know she has a fan club?"

“I know…” Hanabi Hanamaru said, “When we were practicing dancing, the president even came to Hanabi and wanted to invite her to join their chat group.”

Kai Uesugi felt very comfortable with her soft, warm hands.

"Invite me in."

"Hanabi, Hanabi didn't agree," Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him. "Kai-kun didn't agree, so Hanabi can't join such a strange group."

Kai Uesugi smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks with both hands: "Hanabi, you're so sweet."

"Kai-kun, don't pinch Hanabi's face."

"Bad guys do bad things."

"Kai-kun...you're so annoying..."
