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

The little girl's hands were curled up, her pink swaddling clothes wrapped around her pink face, which had a characteristic baby fat, and her arms were also a bit thick and chubby.

Mrs. Uesugi went to do laundry.

The baby is very sleepy; my little sister, who slept all night, is still sleeping now.

Kai Uesugi couldn't resist pinching her cheek, but unexpectedly, the pinch woke her up, and she started crying.

"Mom, have you fed her yet?"

Hearing the baby crying, Mrs. Uesugi quickly came out of the kitchen and shook the water off her hands.

"I'll see, I'll see."

Uesugi Kai had no choice but to hand over his younger sister, whom he was holding.

Mrs. Uesugi quickly hugged him and gently comforted him, saying with a hint of doubt, "You just fed him, why are you crying again? Don't you like being held by your brother?"

"I think she likes me quite a bit."

Mrs. Uesugi glanced at her son, then handed her youngest daughter back to him to hold:

"Then please ask your brother to coax your sister and let her sleep more."

It seemed that after being shaken a couple of times by her mother, Uesugi Shin was much calmer than before.

But her eyes were still teary, as if she was about to cry but couldn't.

"Where's Dad?"

"Your father is sleeping," Mrs. Uesugi replied as she walked into the kitchen.

Fine, Kai Uesugi didn't expect her father to take care of her much anyway, as she was raised by her mother most of the time.

He gazed at his younger sister, Uesugi Kokoro, who was nestled in his arms, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked back at him.

Taking care of children is a troublesome thing.

"Fine, I'll take you to see your sister."

The Hanamaru family next door.

Mrs. Hanamaru was leisurely watching TV in the living room, while Hanabi Hanamaru was hurriedly chasing after a one-year-old girl who was crawling all over the house.

"Huayu, come here quickly, it's time to have your milk. Let your sister feed you."

"Oh dear, oh dear~"

Hanamaru Hanayu was overjoyed and crawled quickly on the ground. She seemed to really enjoy the feeling of her older sister chasing after her, her little legs kicking the ground with all her might.

Suddenly a tall figure blocked her view. Hanamaru Hanayu's not-so-bright mind was puzzled. Just as she was about to raise her head, a hand touched her.

Only then was Hanamaru Hanayu held by her older sister, and the pacifier was quickly put into her mouth.

Hanamaru Hanayu subconsciously suckled at the breast, then, sitting in her sister's lap, saw Uesugi Kai holding a baby across from her. She then released the nipple and cried out in a babyish voice:

"Sister...Sister..."

“It’s my brother,” Uesugi Kai said to his sister-in-law in Hanabi’s arms.

Hanabi Hanamaru was very familiar with her younger sister. Seeing that her mouth was off the pacifier, she quickly fed her again and held her on the sofa in the living room.

"Hua Yu is so fast; she runs around the house several times a day."

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled and said, "She's completely different from my sister. Come here, Kai, let me see your heart."

Kai Uesugi handed his younger sister to his mother-in-law.

"Hmm... I think Kokoro and Kai are quite similar when they were little."

"Does it look similar?" Uesugi Kai asked.

My mother-in-law and mother have a good relationship.

At least when he was born, the two families had met each other; they moved and became neighbors later.

Mrs. Hanamaru rocked the swaddled Uesugi Kokoro: "I was talking about appearance. Even Hanabi wasn't as quiet as you when she was little."

Hanamaru Hanayu was restless on her older sister's lap. Having just finished drinking her milk, she tried to break free and ran to Uesugi Kai's side.

Kai Uesugi had no choice but to accept it.

Hanabi Hanamaru: "Kai-kun, I'll go wash Hana's baby bottle first."

“Okay.” Uesugi Kai replied while stopping Hanamaru Hanayu from taking her glasses.

My sister-in-law is very mischievous; she always tries to pull or tug at him.

Despite his young age, he is surprisingly strong.

Uesugi Kai had no choice but to play along with her and wear her down.

Mrs. Hanamaru, who had already put Uesugi Kokoro to sleep, smiled and said, "Hanayu really likes you."

"Haah~"

Meeting those curious and vibrant eyes, Uesugi Kai repeatedly stopped her chubby hand from reaching for his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Does this count as... liking?"

"Hana-yu also likes to play like this with her sister. Hana-yu is much more troublesome than Hana-bi was when she was little. She likes to crawl around on the bed at night, taking a bite of milk and then crawling.

Mrs. Hanamaru looks very tired.

"How about it? Should I give Huayu to you and Huahuo to raise as your daughter?"

Kai Uesugi felt that having a younger sister who sometimes needed diaper changes was troublesome enough, and if another little devil who liked to run around came along, then his and Hanabi's world would never have peace.

"No need, fireworks are enough."

"Haha, if that's what you're saying, how about I marry Huayu to you as well?"

Uesugi Kai pressed down on Hanamaru Hana's small, short hand, realizing that his mother-in-law was joking and teasing him:

"My father-in-law will not agree."

----------

May 4th, 10:15 AM.

Hanabi Hanamaru changed into a white dress with butterfly trim at home, put on a summer straw hat on her short hair, and then put on light blue leather shoes in the entryway before going out with Kai Uesugi.

Today I'm going to Meiji Shrine for a worship ceremony.

On the tram, the holiday atmosphere was strong, and no one was wearing formal clothes such as school uniforms or suits.

In Japan, a school uniform is a school uniform; it's clothing that's only worn at school.

JK uniforms are a label that represents female high school students; very few female college students or adult women would wear uniforms in public.

"Fireworks, after the shrine visit, would you like to go for a swim in the pool?"

"What are you going to do all of a sudden?" Hanabi asked Kai Uesugi, who was sitting next to her.

Under the shimmering sunlight inside the carriage, the girl's face was radiant, and her eyes sparkled.

The clanging and clattering of the trams also accentuated her gentle beauty.

"I just think the fireworks are getting more and more beautiful. I haven't had much time lately, so I want to spend more time with you now."

"Well... we don't need to go to the swimming pool..." Hanabi Hanamaru said shyly, "It's a bit dirty..."

"A lovers' hotel?"

"This is even worse!"

"A hot spring inn?"

"Kai-kun...why do you always want to take Hanabi out...?"

With glasses on, Uesugi Kai looks refined and gentle, and has an even more delicate and elegant air about him.

He leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered slowly:

I want to...eat you.

After speaking, Uesugi Kai glanced at the girl's flushed cheeks, moved away from her ear, and returned to his previous composed demeanor.

--------

Yoyogi got off the train, and Uesugi Kai bought Hanabi a croquette at a roadside specialty store.

The food was freshly fried, and there were still many people queuing behind me.

"Are you angry?" Uesugi Kai asked when she didn't seem inclined to take it.

"No, but..." Hanabi Hanamaru's eyes were lingering on the golden-yellow croquettes, her fingers interlaced on her skirt, looking conflicted. "Eating these will make me fat..."

"Oh, then I'll eat it myself." Uesugi Kai then took a bite of the croquette that was rightfully hers in front of Hanabi.

"Kai-kun..."

"Alright, you little glutton," Uesugi Kai said with a smile, seeing that she wanted to eat even more. He took out a brand new serving from behind his back and said, "Here, I haven't touched mine yet."

Hanabi Hanabi cupped her hands in her hands, "But... what if I get fat?"

"I'll still love you even if you get fat, and besides, it's just a croquette, it won't make you fat."

With his smile, Xiaohuahuo felt at ease and slowly ate the golden, crispy croquette.

Men always use this excuse.

While Grandpa Hanabi was away, Kai Uesugi took her out to eat takoyaki, taiyaki, okonomiyaki, gyoza, desserts, cakes, bubble tea...

We strolled around the nearby delicious snack shops, just like on a date.

"I...I can't eat anymore..."

Sitting by the flowerbed on the pedestrian street, Uesugi Kai saw her bright eyes under her straw hat. "This is our first date in a week, we can't not eat more."

Hanabi Hanabi held her half-eaten ice cream in both hands, "But... Hanabi really can't eat anymore..."

"Then give it to me."

Kai Uesugi didn't mind and picked up the ice cream she hadn't finished eating and continued eating it.

"By the way, does Hanabi want to have children after she gets married?"

"Kai-kun... how did we get to this again..." Hanabi Hanabi placed her hand on her stomach, feeling quite full. "But if Kai-kun wants a child... that's fine too..."
