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

"Ride, slowly!"

"Haha! Then go even faster!!"

"no!"

Kai Uesugi was excited. He smiled and stood up from his newly bought bicycle, pedaling hard.

The wheels spun rapidly, creating a scenic view as the vehicle sped along the road.

The wind picked up, tousling the girl's hair, and she instinctively clung to him even tighter...

The students along the way were all watching them.

It was a terrible thing, but Uesugi Kai felt incredibly relieved.

It seemed as if all the gloom had been swept away, leaving only roads, an endless horizon, an unreachable sunset, and city streets.

"Do you know, Hanabi? You are my wife! My wife!"

The strong wind refreshed his mind, and the vigorous stomping of his legs sent his adrenaline soaring. The girl behind him blushed and hugged him tightly.

He even felt that he could ride towards the horizon and reach that blazing red sunset.

"Hey! You in front! Stop!"

If you turn a corner, someone shouts loudly at the two of you from behind.

Hanabi Hanamaru glanced back and saw the man riding a patrol bicycle, wearing a light blue uniform, and blowing a whistle wildly.

Hanabi Hanabi recognized the person and anxiously tugged at Kai Uesugi's clothes:

"Kai-kun, stop right now, they're police on patrol."

"The police?" Excited, Kai Uesugi disregarded everything else, his eyes shining brightly. "Ha! I'm not afraid of him!"

"Hey!! Stop right now!!"

When the police officer on the bicycle saw that the two people not only didn't stop but actually sped up, he quickly blew his whistle and shouted as he frantically chased after them on his bicycle.

"Stop!"

"Kai-kun, stop right now!"

"Stop!"

A feeling that he couldn't quite define as either joy or impulsiveness welled up inside him. Uesugi Kai quickened his pedaling pace, the creaking of metal, the girl's anxious reminders, all mingling with the whistling wind, propelling him forward at breakneck speed.

That's awesome, so awesome!

After a long chase, passing through many streets and alleys, the police could only watch helplessly as the crazy pink bicycle escaped into the distance, and had no choice but to give up.

"You're riding really fast!"

However, impulsiveness is only temporary.

I rode my bike home, and I was hungry.

The bicycle was parked at the door.

Hanabi Hanabi loosened her hands around his waist, got off his back seat, and stepped onto the ground in her pink sneakers.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she said with a puffed-up face:

"Kai-kun, really."

Kai Uesugi calmed down and coughed awkwardly twice:

"Ahem, isn't that romantic?"

"That's not romantic at all, it's dangerous!"

“This kind of controllable danger is also a kind of romance,” Uesugi Kai argued.

Hanabi Hanabi couldn't argue with him, so she could only remind him, "If Kai-kun does this, Dad will likely find out, and he'll definitely scold you."

"It's okay! He's in charge of Shinjuku Ward, we're in Arakawa Ward! The most important thing right now is that I'm hungry."

"Take a shower first."

Kai Uesugi, riding on his bicycle, nodded: "We should definitely take a shower after running. How about we help each other out? You help me shower, and I'll help you shower. Neither of us will take advantage of the other."

"I wouldn't."

"Hmm? You don't want to?"

Uesugi Kai got off his bicycle and started groping her relentlessly, tickling her until Hanamaru Hanabi, unable to escape his advances, could only blush and agree.

"Kai-kun, could you massage my shoulders later? They're a little sore after my run..." Hanabi asked softly before going into the bathroom.

Uesugi Kai replied earnestly, "I will do my utmost to grant all of Your Highness's requests, and I will make sure Your Highness is very comfortable~"

The bathroom was filled with steam and the sound of water.

The girl's snow-white bare back was exposed in front of him, of course, with a blanket wrapped around her underneath.

Even so, Uesugi Kai felt his impulsiveness return in an instant.

After massaging her shoulders, I slid my hands down to her slender waist.

He held it in both hands, examining it carefully and feeling it deeply.

So delicate, so soft, so warm.

Hanabi Hanamaru didn't dare look at him because of the itchy feeling in her waist, and she subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

"Kai-kun, you mustn't do anything bad."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

......

"Hey! You bad guy! Kai-kun is a bad guy!"

Hanabi Hanamaru held her hands above her head, her cute face flushed and full of life under the mist.

"Ahem! Sorry... I couldn't resist my curiosity for a moment."

"Ugh! You promised you wouldn't do anything bad..."

"I'm just..." Uesugi Kai answered, forcing a smile, "I'm just following the most scientific biological instincts. There's no reason to starve yourself and not eat the food in front of you."

"Hanabi is angry!"

"No, please."

Kai Uesugi suddenly realized that he really was a jerk, saying one thing and doing another.

But I really couldn't help it.

Looking at her back from behind, I occasionally glanced at her upper arms and vaguely saw the curves in front of her. Her hands, which were washing her back, would slip up and down without me noticing.

Kai Uesugi remembered that a few days ago, when she was drinking milk, she accidentally spilled some on her hand. The milk had a smooth and delicate texture.

Although Hanabi Hanamaru was a little angry, I just saw her shy moment, and then her voice was described as cute...

It was worth it, absolutely worth it.

"Hana-chan, you haven't asked me for help in a long time."

Hanabi Hanamaru instantly forgot her earlier scolding. She covered her upper body with both hands, her face flushed red with steam, and stammered, head bowed, "W-what... what did Kai-kun say about helping..."

"It's just...we help each other out."

"N-nothing like that..." Hanabi Hanamaru took a step back, her small, white, bare feet splashing in the water.

"Hana-chan, how could you forget that you scratched my arm back then? And you, you told me to close my eyes, but I didn't dare to open them because I couldn't see anything."

"Kai-kun...you're saying that on purpose..."

Hanabi Hanamaru suddenly squeezed her eyes shut and shouted in a weak voice:

"Kai-kun, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!"

When Uesugi Kai heard her say "I hate you" so many times, his heart was filled with the same sweet feeling of love as always.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

###Chapter 360 Sumida River Fireworks Festival###

Kai Uesugi was sitting in the living room eating breakfast.

Hanabi usually makes light breakfasts, but Uesugi Kai prefers her fruit salad.

"You're going to Sawa Shrine for practice today, right?" Uesugi Kai asked Hanabi Hanamaru.

Hanabi Hanabi, who was sitting next to him, nodded and said in a pleasant voice, "Tonight, Kai-kun will be able to be seen on the stage next to the Kurome River."

"You get paid to be a shrine maiden, right?"

"It's relatively little, about 1000 yen per hour."

"...Actually, that's still quite a lot, nothing like the more than 100,000 yen a painting you make." As soon as Uesugi Kai said this, she suddenly remembered that she was a wealthy woman.

Although Hanabi is a wealthy woman, she is not bad herself, with savings of over 90 million yen.

The only downside is the lack of a stable income.

As Uesugi Kai thought about it, the vegetable salad in his mouth suddenly tasted much more refreshing.

Aiyi and Qian Aiyi were eating and chatting across from each other. They were talking about what happened yesterday. Apparently, one of Aiyi's male classmates wanted to go to her house, but somehow Aiyi tricked him into going to her house instead.

"What did you do at that male classmate's house yesterday?"

"Game console."

"Playing together?"

"Ah."

Uesugi Kai thought for two seconds and asked Ai, "Was that classmate of yours you?"

“Yes,” Ai said while eating breakfast. “He didn’t dare to say it when we were at school, but during holidays he always wanted to ask me out.”

"He confessed his feelings to you, you wouldn't agree, would you?" Uesugi Kai genuinely thought that elementary school students these days could do such a thing.

"No way!" Ai replied, then asked Uesugi Kai, "Has brother decided on a gift for Hanabi-neechan?"
