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

The cat jumped off the box, turned around, and looked up at the dazzling sun.

Then, still feeling sleepy and lazy, it raised its tail and slowly and leisurely descended the mountain.

Today was another fruitless day.

......

In the afternoon, the sun was even brighter and hotter than in the morning.

Inside the University of Tokyo Library, many school-aged children searched for books that interested them on the rows of bookshelves.

Kai Uesugi, who had been guiding the way, could finally take a break; he had been thoroughly tanned while exploring the school.

Right now, in the library, they are very considerate and keep quiet.

"Uesugi, what brings you to volunteer?" Totsuka Katsura sat down opposite him, holding a bottle of mineral water.

"Experiencing life and understanding its meaning; how come you're doing this too? I remember you were always spending time with your girlfriend, weren't you?"

"It's almost finals, I just want to find something to do."

"Have you mastered your second foreign language? The last question on the final exam is for you to sing a Chinese song in front of everyone," Uesugi Kai asked.

“Singing in front of everyone? That’s too embarrassing!” Totsuka Katsura couldn’t help but say.

“Singing well makes you feel less ashamed; on the contrary, it makes everyone look at you with a ‘Totsuka-kun is amazing!’” Uesugi Kai read this sentence in a serious tone.

"I didn't expect you to joke like that, Uesugi."

"I'm just being serious, I'm not joking."

......

Once outside the school gate, Uesugi Kai stood in front of a group of children and led the way.

I don't know if it's because Qian Aiyi said she was very popular, but many young girls walked up to him shyly and said things like "I like you".

Are kids these days... all so precocious?

Although they stopped it in time, a group of boys still held a grudge against them.

Kai Uesugi could only remain silent in response.

“From the very beginning, I’ve found you, Uesugi, to be incredibly charming,” Totsuka Katsura said with a sly smile.

"Thank you, but my charm isn't something that elementary school students have to confess to me." Uesugi Kai, holding a flag, stopped at the traffic light intersection. As soon as he stopped, the elementary school students behind him also stopped.

"Where are we going? I remember our work ended at 4 p.m., right?" He looked at the red light ahead. Although there were no vehicles passing by for the time being, the pedestrians were still following the rules and standing on the side of the road waiting for the green light.

However, one person strode out right in front of everyone.

He almost didn't recognize him at first glance; it was actually the professor from Tokyo University who had taught him astronomy.

"Uesugi, you were the one leading the way, how come you didn't know we were going to the art museum?" Totsuka Katsura also saw the University of Tokyo professor, but he didn't recognize him, thinking he was just a passerby and didn't pay much attention to him.

"Yayoi?" Uesugi asked.

"It's the art museum near Ueno Zoo."

“Ueno Zoo…over there…” Uesugi Kai muttered, then looked up and tried to ask, “Tokyo University of the Arts?”

"Yeah, what's wrong with Tokyo University of the Arts?"

"My fiancée is studying at Tokyo University of the Arts." Uesugi Kai remembered saying that before, but he probably forgot.

"Haha, what a coincidence, we might run into each other again in the future."

......

It takes about 20 minutes to walk there from Dongda University.

I don't know if the school arranged it on purpose, with the aim of making the students physically fit.

Despite having a headache, Uesugi Kai is in good health and walking is no problem for him, while Totsuka Katsura beside him is already getting tired from walking.

"Ha~ Didn't you have surgery recently? How come you're walking with so much energy?"

Uesugi Kai didn't answer directly. He glanced at him and asked in return, "With such a poor physique, you can't even beat a child?"

"I'm just tired and weak," Totsuka Katsura said, her voice filled with helplessness.

Kai Uesugi, remembering that he had a girlfriend, gave him a strange look.

If I remember correctly, his girlfriend looked quite pretty.

......

Halfway there, Uesugi Kai took out his phone to ask if Hanabi Hanabi was in the library in Ueno, but after typing the message and preparing to send it, he suddenly felt that it was better not to ask.

Her presence was a stroke of luck and fate; her unexpected appearance was a pleasant surprise for her.

It's okay if he/she isn't here.

Tokyo University of the Arts Museum.

The four of them sat in the coffee shop chatting.

The coffee shop is decorated with many handmade origami items in various styles, all in a minimalist design.

"Hanabi-chan, it's almost vacation time, have you made any plans to go on a trip together?" Kitagawa Sakakisa's tone was as if she were tempting Hanamaru Hanabi.

"No..." Hanabi Hanamaru held her coffee cup in both small hands and answered the question directly.

"And what about you and Uesugi?"

“No…” Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head and said.

Kitagawa Sakakisa seemed puzzled, looking Hanabi-chan up and down, "Why do you seem distracted, Hanabi-chan? Is something on your mind?"

"Hmm, it seems like Hanabi hasn't been talking much lately," Ayaka Riei said from across the table.

"No, it's alright, everyone don't need to worry..."

"The more Hanabi-chan says this, the more I feel you have something on your mind." Kitagawa Sakakisa hugged her arm. "Tell us about it, okay? Is it because you've spoiled Uesugi that he's started bullying you?"

Rika Kyushu said, "Hanabi, who was that uncle who asked me where you were this morning?"

"Uncle, what uncle?" Kitagawa Sakakisa also looked at Hanabi Hanamaru.

"It's my uncle..."

Ayaka Riei seemed to remember as well: "So that person was Hanabi's uncle."

Kitagawa Sakakisa: "You don't come here unless you need something. You never care about Hanabi-chan usually, so why are you here now?"

"Hanamaru-san."

Upon hearing this sudden sound, all four of them turned to look at the man who had come into view.

"Hello everyone." Sekine Sagara, dressed in a smart casual outfit, greeted everyone with a smile. They were all classmates, and there was no one he didn't know. It's just that the boys and girls were in separate circles and didn't interact much.

None of the three of them liked him much because he had pursued Hanabi for a while before.

Kitagawa Sakakisa raised her chin and asked him, "What's wrong? Did another gift arrive?"

"Haha, of course not. I'm still aware of my own limitations after failing so many times."

"That's good, otherwise I would have thrown your things out again."

These words sounded rather arrogant, but everyone knew that Kitagawa Sakakisa was a young lady from a wealthy family, and she spoke with an air of haughtiness when talking to outsiders.

Sekine Sagara smiled, ignoring her targeting or perhaps not taking it to heart, and simply said to Hanabi Hanamaru:

"Hanamaru-kun, would you mind if we could talk alone for a bit?"

"Wait," Ayaka Rie stopped him, "What do you need Hanabi for?"

"Haha, it's nothing, just a small personal matter." Sekine Sagara's actions looked very elegant, with the air of a charming young gentleman.

Hanabi Hanamaru was about to speak when Sakaki Kitagawa crossed her arms and firmly refused, "No way!"

Sekine Sagara didn't want to provoke her, and still smiled as he said, "Kitagawa-san, it's just some personal stuff."

"You usually don't have much interaction with Hanabi, so what personal matters could you possibly have? There's no such thing as personal matters."

"I'm not kidding, it really exists—"

"If you have something to say, then say it here."

The smile on Sekine Sagara's face did not fade.

Kitagawa Sakaki Saeki is here; he's really hard to approach.

He had no choice but to say to Hanabi Hanabi, "Hanabi-kun, this matter concerns your uncle. Can we talk about it here?"

Hanabi Hanamaru was silent for a moment, then replied, "Let's talk outside... on the balcony."

Kitagawa Sakaki looked left and right, then quickly asked her in a low voice, "Hanabi-chan, what's going on?"

"It's about my uncle..."

"What does your uncle have to do with him?"

"The company owned by Sekine's family is a great help to the hotel managed by his uncle..."

Rika Kyuu heard all this. Although she was a young lady like Sakaki Kitagawa, she knew much more and asked:

"Is it the hotel near Haneda Airport that Hanamaru's family owns?"

"Rika, you know about this too?" Kitagawa Sakakisa asked in surprise.

“I don’t know,” said Rika Kyuju. “I only know that the Hanamaru family owns a very famous large hotel. There was a fire recently that changed its situation. I saw it on the news and paid a little attention to it.”

Sekine Sagara's smile seemed to be permanently etched on his face, never fading. He glanced at everyone a few times, then politely asked, "So, could you all please allow me and Hanamaru to speak privately for a bit? This is very important."

###Chapter 321 Can...you buy me a coffee?###

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

The streets are bustling with people and vehicles.

Kai Uesugi led a group of children toward Ueno Park. His job was to look after the children to prevent them from falling behind or running away.

"Uesugi, how did you and your fiancée meet?"
