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

"From the front, there is no difference from when you left home."

"Where's the ribbon I tied for you?" Mrs. Hanamaru asked Hanabi.

"Behind the hair."

"Why isn't it like it was at the beginning?"

"...Who would tie a bow on their forehead...?"

"Not good-looking? I think it's quite ingenious."

"No, it doesn't," Hanabi Hanabi whispered, "It's strange...it looks even better now..."

Uesugi Kai let Hanamaru Hanayu, whom he was holding, go to see her older sister. "How does Hanayu feel?"

"Yeeeeeeeeee~"

"Look, even Huayu thinks my sister is pretty."

"Thank you, Hanabi." Hanamaru Hanabi reached out and caught her younger sister who wanted a hug, rubbing her face against her sister's until she giggled.

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled and joked from the side, "Kai is really good at making Hanabi-chan happy."

After leaving the house, they met up with Mrs. Uesugi and the others at the Uesugi family's door.

"Mom, you brought a camera too?"

As soon as Kai Uesugi saw her younger sister, Kokoro Uesugi, she wanted to hug her herself.

Hua Yu had just seen him act like that before. Was she really that popular with children?

While the two ladies were chatting, Uesugi Kai went to ask Chii, who was standing next to him.

"Does Qian Aiyi-chan think I'm pretty?"

"Ah..." Qian Aiyi didn't expect him to ask her this question. She grabbed the bag at her waist with both hands, and her little face showed a very interesting reaction. "Yeah, brother is very handsome."

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask you what you think of me?"

"My brother is doing well."

“From a child’s perspective.” Uesugi Kai thought carefully and added another condition.

Qian Aiyi thought about it carefully, then raised her face and said, "If I were with my brother, I would really want to be close to him, of course... in the kind of warm feeling of an older brother."

"So, you feel a sense of familiarity when you see me?"

“Hmm…” Qian Aiyi’s small beauty mark made her look very pretty. “Aiyi used to like playing by herself, but after living at her brother’s house, she would always be the first to go out and greet him.”

Uesugi Kokoro sat in his lap, her innocent eyes filled with curiosity about the young lady in front of her.

Kai Uesugi smiled. "Want a hug?"

"Hmm..." Qian Aiyi reached out and took the one-year-old Uesugi Shin from his arms.

She only has two teeth now, and her face is still chubby with baby fat.

"My little sister is so cute."

"By the way, Qian Aiyi, how much older are you than Aiyi?"

"A little over two years old."

Two years older.

It is estimated that when Ai Yi was a little over one year old, Qian Ai Yi was already feeding her younger sister.

"Qian Aiyi, what do you plan to do if your mother really doesn't come back...?"

Uesugi Kai wouldn't say these things to Ai, even though she was quirky and intelligent.

But they always thought that their parents would come looking for them, the two sisters.

Qian Aiyi...has taken care of her younger sister since she was little, so she is much more mature.

"Can't I...be with my brother and Hanabi-neechan?"

"You want to live with us?"

"Hmm..." Chii hugged Uesugi Kokoro, making her look more like a sensible older sister, "If Hanabi-neechan and brother don't want us anymore... Chii and I don't know where to go..."

"Don't worry, Hanabi-neechan and I will welcome you and Ai anytime," Uesugi Kai said with a smile. "You can talk to Hanabi-neechan at home, and you'll be more energetic."

"Thank you, brother..."

------

Today we're going to Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, in the Kanto region.

Near Tokyo, you can take the Tobu Isesaki Line from Asakusa to Ashikaga City Station. Ashikaga City Station offers a free shuttle bus to the flower park on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays.

It took about 90 minutes to get to Ashikaga city from Shinjuku, Tokyo.

As soon as she got off the train, Aiyi ran out of the carriage and ran around the station, imitating the sound of a train:

"Waaah~~"

Qian Aiyi: "Slow down!"

Mrs. Hanamaru said with a smile, "Aiyi is quite energetic."

Mrs. Uesugi: "I would be so happy to have children like that. Kai and Hanabi are great in every way, but they don't seem like little kids."

Kai Uesugi, holding her younger sister, said, "When a son grows up, a mother will start to dislike him. Sigh."

“Ah-kai, you can interpret it that way too,” Mrs. Uesugi said with a teasing smile.

"Should we have a son or a daughter?" Uesugi Kai asked, holding Uesugi Kokoro in one arm.

"Aren't they all my precious children? You don't understand the pain of childbirth. If you're all gone, I won't have any reason to live."

Mrs. Hanamaru added, "That's what we all think."

What does it feel like?

"My mind was completely blank, and all I could feel was pain. It hurt so much that I was shaking. The nurse next to me was shouting for me to try my best, but by the time the sound reached my mind, all that was left was a vague signal."

Mrs. Uesugi said.

"Does A-Zhao know how much you weighed when you were born?"

"How heavy?" Uesugi Kai really didn't know.

"7.9 pounds, and those forearms, all rolled up."

Mrs. Hanamaru said with a smile, "Anyway, when I gave birth to Hanabi, I really wanted to beat her father to death, but it was fine after she was born. Kai, you are much bigger than Hanabi."

Uesugi Kai went to see Hanabi Hanabi chasing after Ai, and thought, "After we get married, Hanabi will be like that too..."

He remembered that on the day his younger sister was born, there was a very quiet girl who was fine when she first entered the delivery room, but later she cried and shouted, "I don't want to give birth! I don't want to give birth!"

"So, Xiaozhao, aren't you going to treat her well? You won't find another girl as good as her."

Mrs. Uesugi: "Hanabi-chan is so frail, she must have trouble giving birth, right?"

"She has a difficult time giving birth," Mrs. Hanamaru said. "She didn't have any major illnesses before, but her constitution has always been weak."

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but wonder if he would face the dilemma of choosing between saving the mother and the child in the future.

He followed behind the two mothers onto the bus and sat down with Hanabi.

The more I look at her, the more I can't help but think about her.

Of course, we should save the baby.

The child hasn't developed a bond yet, but Hanabi already shares more than a decade of memories with him.

All those little moments, suddenly gone in an instant—who could bear that?

"Hanabi."

"Hmm," Hanabi Hanabi responded, her gaze shifting to his face. "What's wrong?"

Do you think we should have a baby?

"Kai-kun... why did Kai-kun suddenly bring this up..." Hanabi Hanamaru clasped her hands together, looking shy and uneasy.

"Seriously, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

"But when I saw my mother give birth to Huayu, she didn't seem to have any problems... Auntie and Xin seemed quite relaxed... It shouldn't have been very painful."

"That's your second child. The first childbirth will be very painful."

"Kai-kun, isn't it a bit too early to say these things... We're not married yet..."

"Hana, what do you think about having the baby?"

"Didn't Kai-kun say he wanted to have five children?" Hanabi Hanamaru said, her voice growing softer and softer.

"I understand."

Kai Uesugi felt it didn't matter whether or not she had children, while Hanabi thought it would be better to have children.

The thought that such a weak girl like Hanabi would experience the excruciating pain of childbirth made him feel the unfairness of human physiology.

Women also have to get their periods every month, which is not only inconvenient but can also cause pain occasionally.

It wasn't easy, it really wasn't easy.

Kai Uesugi reached out his left arm and hugged her. "Hana-chan, what do you think is the best way for me to treat you?"

The two could sense each other very well, and Hanabi leaned on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "It's good enough that Kai-kun is by Hanabi's side."

"Don't you want more?"

Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.

"You're so easily satisfied, which makes me feel guilty and sorry for you."

"It's enough that Kai-kun knows Hanabi likes him..."

She meant for him to relax and not put too much unnecessary pressure on himself.

I used to be the one helping her, but now it's the other way around.
