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

Hanamaru Yuuki snuggled up to Uesugi Kai, looked up at him and said, "Brother-in-law, can you introduce me to a boyfriend who is handsome and considerate to girls like you? After you took my sister away, do you know how much more bored I'll be at school and at home?"

“You’re not bad off, you can find someone yourself. Well, the main problem is that I don’t know anyone who fits your criteria.”

"Doesn't your brother-in-law have any handsome male friends?"

"That's logically flawed. What's the benefit of making friends with handsome guys?"

Hanamaru Yuuki blinked, realizing what he meant: "Haha, that's true."

She stole a glance at Hanabi Hanabu, who was tidying up her clothes, lowered her voice, and asked Kai Uesugi with a mixture of excitement and curiosity:

"Brother-in-law...have you ever done anything intimate with my sister?"

Kai Uesugi understands that girls of this age are very curious, and Yuuki Hanamaru is one of them.

"No."

"How could that be! Isn't my sister pretty? Isn't she cute?"

"That's not a reason."

Men just like pretty girls—

Kai Uesugi tapped her on the head: "You're not even 6 years old yet. Minors shouldn't have such wild thoughts."

Hanamaru Yuuki covered her head and said in a somewhat weak tone, like Hanabi:

"My brother-in-law is right."

Then he muttered something.

"I'll ask my sister later."

Seeing her continue helping Hanabi tidy her clothes, Uesugi Kai wasn't worried about what she might ask, since Hanabi definitely wouldn't tell him.

------------

The moon and stars are bright, and the distant clouds are transparent and luminous in the evening.

The night breeze blowing from the street onto the balcony gently swayed the two strands of soft hair on the girl's shoulders.

Behind her, inside the room, were two neatly packed suitcases placed together. Uesugi Kai, leaning on the railing, asked:

Did Yuuki ask Hanabi any strange questions just now?

"A strange question?"

Hanabi Hanabi tilted her head cutely, then her cheeks flushed red. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes..."

Uesugi Kai was also a little curious, "What did she say?"

"Yuuki asked directly..."

How did Hanabi answer?

"There wasn't really... there wasn't..." Hanabi Hanabi blushed, because she kept remembering someone's hands on her while she was sleeping. "That's just what I said..."

Kai Uesugi admitted that Yuuki was right; men really like pretty women, and they can't resist someone they like.

As for why he didn't admit it to Yuuki on the spot?

That was to educate minors; after all, she was still a younger sister.

"We're leaving London tomorrow."

"Mmm." Hanabi gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.

"Have you decided which university you want to apply to?"

Hanamaru Hanabi's violet eyes reflected the moon, half-hidden by clouds:

Tokyo University of the Arts.

“Taitung Ward,” Uesugi Kai said with a smile, “is next to Bunkyo Ward.”

"But I'm still worried because we're not in the same university."

"What are you worried about...?" Hanabi Hanabi looked at him and blinked her beautiful eyes.

Kai Uesugi took her arm, clasped her small, fair, and delicate hand, and gazed into her eyes:

“I’m worried that someone will take you away. I’m not a particularly outstanding person, and Hanabi is getting more and more beautiful.”

"Would Kai-kun worry about something like that?"

"I'm worried, so I'll make a little change for you."

"Hanabi thinks Kai-kun is good enough..."

"In my eyes, Fireworks is good enough, but it still has room for improvement."

"How about we make another agreement?"

Hanabi Hanamaru felt his grip on her hand tighten. "What promise...?"

"We'll get married the day Hanabi comes of age."

Hanabi didn't answer immediately, but asked softly, "Kai-kun... won't you regret staying with Hanabi forever?"

"Xiaohuahuo is such a wonderful girl. Being with her is not something I regret; rather, I will always look forward to every day of my life with her."

Under the bright moonlight, his figure facing the wind was both handsome and gentle.

"Kai-kun is going to spend his whole life with Hanabi." Hanabi looked up at him.

"It's okay, you're worth my life's devotion."

"Now that Hanabi is gone, will Kai-kun miss her?"

"Yes, because I lost my way after you were gone for so long."

"Kai-kun, what is love?"

Hanabi Hanabi leaned on his arm as they gazed together at the brightly lit London night sky.

Kai Uesugi followed her gaze; it was the city's night sky, and people's dwellings:

"Love is the everyday life we ​​experience together, peaceful... yet interesting."

Being together... peaceful... and fun...

Hanabi Hanabi leaned against his shoulder, feeling even the slightly cool night breeze was warm:

"Kai-kun...Hanabi likes you so much..."

“I know, and I’m trying my best to reciprocate her love.”

"Hanabi is selfish; she wants Kai-kun to only love her..."

"Love is reciprocal. I don't want to share my love for Hanabi with anyone else. My affection for her belongs only to her."

"Is Kai-kun and Hanabi happy together?"

Uesugi Kai turned around and smiled at the girl's cute, rosy face.

"I'm so happy. As long as you're by my side, our story will continue."

###Chapter 238 Tokyo University###

Since cherry blossoms bloom every spring, does that mean anyone wouldn't care about them? Probably not.

Walking through the library of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Tokyo, filled with the fragrance of books, the handsome young man recalled Sei Shonagon's essay.

Walking into the Literature Section 1, I used my index finger to pull out "The Pillow Book" from among the many famous works of Chinese literature.

The library at the University of Tokyo's Komaba campus is a tranquil and shady place, with its Western-style architecture and ancient trees all around.

The handsome young man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and stood still to browse through the book.

The library is filled with the sounds of footsteps, turning pages, whispers, and rustling leaves, but it is precisely these subtle noises that make reading more tranquil and peaceful.

He had just read the part about "the ladies-in-waiting of Xuanyao Palace" when he heard footsteps approaching him.

"Uesugi-senpai."

"Yes, what is it? Go ahead and say it." Without looking up, Uesugi Kai calmly replied, still flipping through the book.

"It's like this, I forgot to tell you this morning that we have a social event with the archery club from Keio University, and we hope that you, Uesugi-senpai, can attend."

The younger generation seemed a little nervous in his presence, and felt even more flustered seeing him reading books at a leisurely pace.

Things that are easy to be lax about

What is easily neglected is the practice of daily meditation, preparations far removed from the present day, and prayers spent in the monastery for an extended period.

Kai Uesugi saw this part.

Have I slacked off lately? Maybe.

"The social gathering is a place to exchange techniques and have a meal, which takes up a whole day. I'm sorry, but I have to submit this week's manuscript to my supervisor within the next three days."

The younger generation always felt an invisible pressure from Uesugi, forcing them to hesitate for several seconds before answering:

"I understand, senior. I will refuse."

Kai Uesugi looked up from his book, glanced through his glasses at the young junior who was bowing slightly to him, and said softly:

"Yes, thank you."

First-year students at the University of Tokyo are generally arrogant and proud, and someone like Kiyosaki Takeshi is relatively rare.

After his juniors left, Uesugi Kai continued to read books, and when he got tired of standing, he would sit quietly in a window seat surrounded by greenery.

Time flows by, and the dappled sunlight, swaying in the wind, creates a leisurely and pleasant atmosphere, much like a weekend.

The phone rang.

Kai Uesugi pulled his phone out of his trousers, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.
