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

"Ah-Zhao, how did you take such beautiful photos?"

“Of course there are techniques to taking photos.” Uesugi Kai hugged Uesugi Kokoro even tighter.

Mrs. Uesugi looked at him with her camera in hand: "Then can you tell me and your aunt some techniques?"

"Want to hear?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense." Mrs. Uesugi held the camera in both hands, revealing her identity as a mother.

"Hmm...but if you really want me to say it, I can't."

Mrs. Hanamaru: "So, what was the technique you mentioned earlier, Kai?"

"The key to photography is to photograph beautiful women. As long as a pretty girl is in the frame, the photo will naturally be beautiful," Uesugi Kai said after thinking for a moment.

He was subtly praising the fireworks.

Mrs. Hanamaru chuckled and teased, "If Hanabi-chan heard what Kai said, she would definitely be happy again."

While they were talking, Mrs. Uesugi had already picked up her camera to take pictures of Hanabi Hanamoto, who was accompanying Ai to buy ice cream.

I pressed the shutter, and with a click, a moment was captured on the screen.

"How is it?" Mrs. Hanamaru leaned over to look.

"Well, not bad, not bad."

"Let me see."

The photo shows Hanabi Hanabu smiling as she holds an ice cream cone.

Mrs. Uesugi: "This is also a side profile."

Mrs. Hanamaru nodded: "Hanabi-chan's profile is very pretty."

Mrs. Uesugi asked, "Speaking of which, Mieko rarely takes photos with fireworks."

Mrs. Hanamaru said, "You forgot? Hanabi used to dislike being photographed, saying she wasn't pretty."

Mrs. Uesugi: "It seems so. Hanabi-chan is much more cheerful than before."

Mrs. Hanamaru: "Hanabi-chan only started to get better after she fell in love."

“Ah-Zhao”.

"what happened?"

"Bring Hanabi-chan over here, I'll take a picture of you two."

"Take a group photo?"

The irises in front are indeed beautiful, colorful yet of high quality.

Actually, he didn't need to call Huahuo over; she brought the two sisters, Aiyi and her sister, over herself after buying the ice cream.

"Here you go, Kai-kun's ice cream." Hanabi Hanamaru handed him a purple ice cream cone.

"Vanilla flavored?"

“Yes!” Ai shouted to him, standing on tiptoe.

Kai Uesugi took the ice cream cone from Hanabi Hanamaru without eating it first: "Wisteria grows up trees and has a fragrance, but it's very faint. It probably won't have much flavor when made into ice cream."

"Kai-kun... how do you know if you haven't eaten it?" Hanamaru Hanabi seemed to find it delicious, savoring the sweetness with her small lips.

"I'm giving myself a heads-up first, trying to lower my expectations of a certain food so that when it enters my mouth, the aroma will be even more delicious."

"Really?" Hanabi Hanamaru looked at the purple ice cream in her hand that had been licked twice.

"The effect was minimal, but it was still useful." Uesugi Kai didn't want to deceive Hanabi. "Psychological suggestion is something that requires training to achieve."

Have you ever tried stinky tofu? The difference between the first impression and the taste is huge, which is why so many people find it delicious.

"No..."

"What is stinky tofu?" Ai asked curiously.

"It smells stinky tofu, but it tastes delicious."

"How can smelly tofu taste good?" Ai Yi couldn't understand.

"You'll understand once you've tasted it."

“Alright, stop chatting,” Mrs. Uesugi interrupted Kai Uesugi’s boasting, then waved to Hanabi, “Come on, Hanabi-chan, let me take a picture of you and Kai together.”

Hanabi Hanabi walked obediently beside her aunt, holding her little straw hat with both hands, and asked, "Where should we take the picture?"

Although there are irises on this street, there are too many pedestrians.

"Let's walk a little further," Mrs. Hanamaru suggested, glancing ahead along the flowing crowd.

No matter what, there are always photo spots in the flower park.

Tourists come here mainly to take pictures of the flowers and see people.

Entering from the front, there is a flower market on the right, where all kinds of flowers are displayed, which can be described as a riot of colors.

The flower stall naturally caught Uesugi Kai's eye.

"Buy some flowers?" It was Mrs. Hanamaru who first noticed where her son-in-law's attention was focused.

“Akai loves flowers the most,” Mrs. Uesugi said with a smile.

Every year, the Uesugi family's small yard is covered with roses that he planted.

"Everyone says that men who love flowers are more romantic. How does Xiaozhao find fireworks romantic?" Mrs. Hanamaru pressed down on Hanamaru Hanayu's small hand, which was trying to pick flowers from the shop.

"Me? That's a secret, of course."

Since Uesugi Kai didn't say anything, Mrs. Hanamaru went to ask her own daughter.

"Hanabi-chan, you tell me."

"Ah...?" Hanabi Hanamaru looked a little embarrassed.

The more shy a daughter is, the more a mother wants to ask.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

"Kai-kun usually gives me some really beautiful gifts..."

“It’s mainly the flowers, because I feel that lilies go well with Hana,” Uesugi Kai chimed in.

This is a pun, since the pronunciation of "flower" is "hana".

“There’s more to romance than just giving gifts,” Mrs. Hanamaru said, feeling there was no reason for Hanabi to be shy about giving gifts. “Hanabi-chan, tell us quickly.”

"Kai-kun... Kai-kun... Kai-kun even gave me a good morning kiss this morning..." Urged on by her mother, Hanabi lowered her head as she spoke.

"A good morning kiss? Hahaha."

"Where did you kiss me?"

Hanabi Hanamaru was too embarrassed to answer; there were still many pedestrians on the road.

This was a matter between the young couple, and when the two mothers heard it, they exchanged a knowing smile.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Go inside and find your Kai-kun."

After Hana Maru Hanabi entered the flower market, the two ladies stood at the entrance, sighing at her changes.

When talking about Hanabi's childhood, she always mentions a series of unpleasant memories.

Mrs. Hanamaru:

“In the past, only my dad and I would celebrate Hanabi's birthday with her. She was like a forgotten child, only able to blow out the lonely candles alone on what should have been the happiest day for every girl, put her hands together, and silently wish herself a happy birthday.”

"At that moment, my dad and I were behind her, really hoping that one of her classmates would say 'Happy Birthday' to her. She's always been alone since birth..."

"After I met Xiaozhao, at least I had someone my age who was willing to keep her company. They went to school together, came home together, went shopping and bought snacks together. On her birthday, I would say happy birthday to her and sing her a birthday song, even though Xiaozhao sang really badly back then."

"Now that she's willing to follow Xiaozhao wholeheartedly, I, as her mother, can completely understand. Childhood memories are always the most profound."

Mrs. Hanamaru's eyes reflected the lively figure of her daughter in the shop, who was holding a pot of flowers and discussing with her beloved which lily was prettier.

“Niko, you really need to keep an eye on your Kai. If he betrays Hanabi, she will be like a ship that has lost its rope in a storm. She will only drift further and further away from the harbor until she drifts into the eye of the storm and becomes broken.”

“Now that you mention it, I feel like Kai can’t live without Hanabi either.” Mrs. Uesugi followed Mrs. Hanamaru’s gaze to the two of them.

“Haha, of course,” Mrs. Hanamaru chuckled softly. “After all, there aren’t many girls who would wish the same boy a happy birthday for over ten years and send him a gift every year.”

"Although Hanabi-chan doesn't dare to confess her feelings verbally, her confession has already been subtly imprinted in her actions."

"It was Hanabi-chan's sincerity that touched Kai." Uesugi Kai couldn't help but sigh.

"Kai-kun... how about this flower?"

Inside the shop, Hanamaru Hanabi held up a red and pink flower next to her straw hat, trying to use it as a decoration.

“This is a Phylogenym rhododendron,” Uesugi Kai said with a smile, the girl’s face as delicate and beautiful as the flower. “It’s not an ornament, it’s a potted plant, you have to buy it and transplant it yourself.”

Although there were other customers in the flower shop, all the flowers seemed to surround and embrace her, making her little face look dreamlike and beautiful.

"Do not move."

"What's wrong...?" Hanabi Hanabi was taken aback for a moment.

"Wait a minute."

After saying that, Uesugi Kai bypassed the other guests, went out, and took the camera from his mother's hand.

"Are you taking a picture?" Hanabi Hanamaru asked, still holding up the azalea in her hand.

"You can put it down when I'm not here," Uesugi Kai said with a smile as he saw her holding the flowerpot in a silly manner.

"But, didn't Kai-kun say not to move..."

"fool!"

Kai Uesugi flicked her forehead with his index finger. "That's why I say some people don't know how to be flexible."

With a slight headache, Hana Maru carefully put down the small flowerpot in her hand, looking quite aggrieved.

"Don't play it now, I'm here, I'm going to take a picture."

"Um......"

Hanabi Hanabi quietly agreed again and raised the azalea flower up once more.
