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

Unexpectedly, it rang again.

It's Goto.

【Hello.】

[Haha, Uesugi, I passed! I passed!]

【Congratulations.】

Hey, you have no idea how tough it's been for me lately. Every night I wait for the envelope to arrive at home.

【Um. 】

Kai Uesugi, phone in hand, gazed at the passersby under their umbrellas as they brushed past him.

[Hey, Uesugi, are you alright? You don't sound very happy. Could it be that you...]

You've passed; don't worry.

[You passed? Haha, that's great! The University of Tokyo... I can't even dream of it. There's a class reunion on Friday, everyone's coming. Are you coming?]

【never mind.】

Hey, no way! The class reunion wouldn't be complete without you! You're a celebrity at our school! Do you know how many girls have asked me for your phone number?

[It wouldn't be much different without me.]

Now that I've written this far, let me share my thoughts.

Not many people are watching it anymore.

I know that perfectly well.

It's difficult to write long stories with a single female lead. First, readers get tired of the sweet romance, and second, in a realistic context, there are only a few scenes of interaction and dating, so lengthening the story would just result in repetition.

The next arrangements include the competition, Ai Yi and Qian Ai Yi's affairs, and Xiao Hua Huo's wedding.

And then... there was nothing more to write about.

...

I really want Little Fireworks to continue smiling happily in the book, every single day.

However, perhaps due to the decreasing number of users and comments, my writing always carries a faint sense of loneliness.

The small fireworks also give people the feeling of dandelions, which are scattered in the air when blown by the wind.

It's beautiful, but also lonely.

Kai Uesugi was very worried about seeing this scene, because he had walked over looking at her happy smile.

Having seen her happy and radiant smile, and having seen how well everyone loves her, I can't bear to see her lonely.

......

After getting married, I thought about writing about the future, and I wanted to write as much as possible, but I didn't know if I could keep it up.

As a beginner, my writing skills are lacking, so I can only rely on my intuition...

Thank you to all the readers for your daily check-ins, recommendations, and comments. Seeing the daily updates puts my mind at ease; if it's even a little late, I worry that someone has abandoned the story...

Ha ha......

###Chapter 363 The Lawyer's Call###

Every time I see Xiaohuahuo's paintings, I feel a wonderful feeling.

The colors are exquisitely beautiful, and the lines are meticulously crafted to perfection.

Her fans must feel the same way when they see her work.

For the past few days, Hanamaru Hanabi has been organizing her experiences as a shrine maiden at the shrine, including her demeanor, actions, and characteristics, all of which she intends to depict on the image of Tenkai Nanami.

This is her job as a novel illustrator, and it also reflects her responsibility towards her creative work.

Kai Uesugi carried a plate of cut fruit into the bedroom and saw Hanabi Hanabi sitting upright in front of the computer. He couldn't help but go over to check on her.

"Hana-chan, would you like me to massage your shoulders?"

Hanabi Hanamaru was focused on drawing the illustrations on her computer: "No need."

"How about a back massage?"

"No, you don't need to."

"Is there anything I can do to help with the fireworks?"

"no thanks."

As Kai Uesugi watched her draw, he suddenly felt neglected.

Her attention was entirely on the computer, not on herself.

Hmm... this feeling is quite subtle.

I feel a little...jealous.

It's all because of that foxy woman in the computer; because she's drawing her, Little Fireworks doesn't have time to pay attention to herself.

At that moment, a strong sense of hope seemed to arise within me.

I hope today's little firework will keep me company all day.

I really want her warm and sweet hug.

The moment she hugs me, her gentleness and sweetness melt my heart.

Kai Uesugi moved a stool and sat down next to her.

"Hanabi, can you be a little cute with me?"

"Kai-kun, stop fooling around. Hanabi is working. The manuscript is due tomorrow."

"It's not due until tomorrow, so it's no big deal for you to stay with me for a while."

Hanabi Hanamaru stopped writing with her electronic pen when she heard his words, turned to look at him, her bright purple eyes sparkling beautifully. She then reached out and hugged him.

It felt so good to hold her. Kai Uesugi smelled the fragrance in her hair and was even a little reluctant to let go.

"Kai-kun...is this alright now...?"

"No, that doesn't count as being affectionate."

"Fireworks? I can't even make fireworks..."

"It's not that you can't, it's just that you haven't noticed before." Uesugi Kai closed his eyes and whispered, "Hanabi is so cute, I like you so much."

“Kai-kun has said it ten times since he woke up this morning, and this is the eleventh time.”

"Ok, I know."

In fact, Kai Uesugi had already noticed it not long ago.

Lately, I've been relying on fireworks more often.

She has relied more on herself since childhood, but now that she is about to get married, the roles have been reversed.

In the past, Uesugi Kai would never have imagined that he would want to rely on her so much.

Perhaps this is because we have learned to cherish things.

"Is Kai-kun feeling better?"

"Hmm... much better."

Today, Uesugi Kai doesn't want to do anything but stay by her side and watch her paint, observe her every move, and witness her reflections and epiphanies when she encounters difficulties.

The fireworks are real, right in front of me—Uesugi Kai kept telling himself that.

Hanabi Hanabi would steal glances at him every now and then while she was drawing. He was behaving strangely today, always silently watching him and frequently feeding him fruit.

"These are oranges that my grandfather sent from Ehime. They are homegrown and of very good quality."

This statement is actually very Chinese.

After eating the orange segment he fed her, Hanamaru Hanabi asked in a weak voice:

"Is Kai-kun's illness... alright?"

“I’m fine,” Uesugi Kai replied while peeling an orange. “I’m perfectly fine.”

Kai Uesugi paused, recalling how she had stayed with him in the hospital room until late at night during that time.

In my hazy, dreamlike state, there seemed to be a tiny voice praying for me to get better soon.

"The wish that Hanabi made at the fireworks festival a few days ago...could it be...?"

Then, Uesugi Kai suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you spend the rest of your life alone. We still have so many promises between us."

Hanabi Hanabi looked up at him: "If Kai-kun doesn't keep his word, Hanabi... Hanabi won't like Kai-kun anymore..."

Even her threatening manner was so soft and weak.

But upon closer reflection, this is indeed the last thing Uesugi Kai wanted to see.

My phone suddenly rang.

Kai Uesugi took his phone out of his pocket.

Unknown caller ID.

Hang up directly.

Hanabi Hanabi asked, "Aren't you going to answer, Kai-kun?"

"A stranger might be a scammer."

Hanabi Hanamaru didn't ask any further questions.

"Hanabi needs to get back to work, Kai-kun, you mustn't disturb her."

"I haven't hugged you enough yet."
