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

Aiyi seemed uninterested in the answer and pressed her forehead back against the transparent wall of the aquarium.

Countless fish swam and danced, their tails swaying. They huddled together, weaving and darting back and forth, their tails bobbing up and down rapidly. Their scales reflected a dazzling array of colors, creating countless fleeting beauties.

"Brother, what's that fish called?" Ai Yi pointed to a spotted fish that hadn't moved.

“Saddle belt with stone spots.” Uesugi Kai glanced at the sign on his left.

"What about that one!"

"Golden pomfret".

"that."

"Moonfish".

"And also, that one."

Stingray.

Each time Ai pointed to a fish, Uesugi Kai would glance at the signboard before answering her.

Qian Aiyi said admiringly, "Brother is so amazing, he knows everything."

Kai Uesugi smiled. "No problem."

The two little girls were visiting the aquarium for the first time, their eyes full of curiosity.

Hanabi Hanamaru was watching all sorts of sharks and taking pictures of them with her phone.

"Why take so many pictures?" Uesugi Kai asked.

She put down her phone. "These photos can also be great source material when I'm drawing."

Kai Uesugi stood close to her and looked at the several photos she had taken. "The shark emoji you usually use in chats, you drew it yourself?"

"It's so cute, isn't it!"

"The drawing is very beautiful, round and chubby, just like you, clumsy."

"I'm not stupid!"

Hanabi Hanamaru smiled faintly. Her smile was indescribable, like the pure bud of a lily, or like cherry blossoms falling in spring, dreamlike and adorning the beauty of the girl's lovely face.

She was standing right in front of him; she was his fiancée.

Just being in her presence makes my heart feel sweet.

Kai Uesugi reached out and flicked her forehead: "You're just stupid."

With a soft "Ooh—", Hanabi covered her forehead and muttered, "Kai-kun is bullying me again..."

"It's only the stupid who are easy to bully; the smart ones are the ones who end up bullying me."

She has a very gentle personality and would never do anything like bullying others.

Do boys all like girls who are a little slow-witted?

"Haven't you heard the saying that smart women are never loved?"

"Hanabi thinks this statement is incorrect."

"Why not? Although it's biased, I really don't like girls who are too smart."

"Hanabi is very clever."

"You? What makes you so smart?" Uesugi Kai said with a laugh, reaching out to flick Hanabi's head again, but this time she dodged it. "She also kicks off the covers at night."

"Kicking off the blanket has nothing to do with intelligence..." Her voice became much weaker after being touched on a point that made her feel embarrassed.

"Kicking off the blanket means you're still like a little kid. If Ai Yi and Qian Ai Yi are little lolis, then you're a big loli, both stupid and dull!"

"No way!" Hanabi Hanamaru blushed.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you how to become smarter."

"I don't need to become smarter."

"Really? You don't want to hear it?"

Hanabi Hanabi's gaze darted away for a while before finally settling on him. "I want to hear..."

“There is a method called ‘mana replenishment’ that can transfer my intelligence to you.”

"Really...?"

"Really." Uesugi Kai's expression was serious and earnest.

"Then what should we do..." Hanabi Hanamaru felt that what he said was very strange.

Kai Uesugi leaned close to her ear and said, "Like this...like this...and like this again..."

Hanabi Hanabi became increasingly embarrassed as she listened, lowering her head and blushing deeply to the roots of her ears. She then realized that he was joking.

"Hate......"

"This is a little game for couples, shall we try it when we get home tonight?"

"No..." Hanabi blushed, her little hands clasped together nervously, "We can only kiss on the lips..."

Seeing her like this, Uesugi Kai was afraid that others would misunderstand and think he was bullying a girl, so he had no choice but to say:

"Alright, alright, how about we go ride the Ferris wheel later?"

"elder brother!"

After watching the sea fish, Aiyi ran over and asked, "What are you talking about with Hanabi, brother?"

Kai Uesugi: "The topic of how to become smarter."

How to become smarter?

"That's a secret, I can't tell you."

"I hate secrets the most," Ai Yi pouted.

Afterwards, Uesugi Kai took the girls to see the penguins. The penguins swimming on the artificial beach looked like gray ducks, lazy and fat.

However, the feeling of seeing those creatures that can only be seen in books in person is indescribable.

Sea turtles, octopuses, sea crabs, clownfish, and swarms of yellowfin tuna...

Along the way, the group took dozens more photos.

Aiyi and Qian Aiyi had a great time today, their little faces constantly showing excitement.

As we left the aquarium, the drizzling rain continued intermittently. The sea breeze ruffled our hair, causing Hanabi Hanabi's pleated skirt to sway to the right.

Kai Uesugi thought to himself that it was fortunate he had made Hanabi wear an extra pair of white stockings when they went out, otherwise her legs would have been freezing.

Hanabi Hanamaru pressed her right hand in front of her to prevent the wind from blowing up her short skirt.

Are we going to ride the Ferris wheel?

“Of course,” Uesugi Kai replied.

Walk left from the aquarium and you'll arrive at the Ferris wheel called Diamonds and Flowers.

The 117-meter-tall Ferris wheel kept the two little girls looking up at it, with Aiyi constantly saying things like "It's so big and so tall."

After buying tickets from the automatic ticket machine, I waited in line for my turn.

Ferris wheels have always been a popular spot for couples, and this Ferris wheel, which claims to be the largest in Japan, is no exception.

Even on rainy days, they would come out here to show their affection.

When it was the turn of the four of them to get into the cabin, Uesugi Kai sat down first and smiled and reached out to Hanamaru Hanabi outside.

There were no words, only a faint smile exchanged between them.

Hanabi Hanabi took his outstretched hand and, following his pull, stepped into the Ferris wheel cabin.

Why are Ferris wheels romantic? Because of the small space for just two people, and the feeling of looking down at the panoramic view from high above, the world seems small, and all you see is each other.

Uesugi Kai didn't think Ferris wheels were anything special before, but as the axle rotated and the cabins swayed and rose into the air, the sense of insecurity of leaving the ground prompted him to naturally hug his girlfriend.

"Kai...Kai-kun...you can't put your hands inside my clothes..."

"I just touched the fat on my waist, nothing."

"But...it's so itchy..."

"It's alright." Uesugi Kai let her lean against him, his right hand slowly circling over her soft belly inside her clothes.

Xiaohua always asks him to rub her belly during her period, so he knows where to rub her lower abdomen for a longer time to make her feel more comfortable.

"No...you can't..."

The movements were so light and gentle that Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes gradually became blurry.

The lower abdomen is usually flat, but if you pinch it slightly, you can still feel its softness embedded in the body.

Raindrops pattered against the narrow cabin, becoming clearer and denser as we took off and time passed.

Uesugi Kai lingered on her soft, round belly for a long time, his gentle touch making her face turn red.

Two small hands rested on his arm, their slender white fingers clenched tightly, as if pushing him away, or perhaps inviting him.

The girl was soft and sweet, and the enclosed space gradually made the atmosphere ambiguous.

Hanabi Hanamaru opened her mesmerizing eyes, her violet pupils trembling. She gently pushed his hand away, slowly turned around, curled her small hands against his chest, tilted her head back, raised her chin, and tried to get closer.

As she listened to the rain and felt the Ferris wheel swaying slightly as it ascended, her breathing became rapid, and the world seemed to slow down at that moment.

Kai Uesugi lowered his head, his mind and body lingering on the girl's soft, sweet lips. With each slow breath, his nostrils were filled with the fresh scent of lilies.

A street scene in Tokyo at 1:39 p.m.

Cold rain sprinkled across the transparent umbrellas that were being used to walk between the high-rise buildings.

"Welcome to 7 Days Convenience Store."

"Hi, Seunghye, 300 yen."

"Sir, starting in September, you'll be charged for plastic bags. Here's your change: 190 yen. Please keep it safe."

Thank you for your patronage. We look forward to welcoming you again.
