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

"N-nothing..."

"I was just nervous. Hanabi was just as nervous when we went to get our marriage certificate."

Hanabi Hanabi pursed her lips, and the blush creeping up her ears was especially adorable.

She suddenly realized that he had taken her hand, so she looked in the direction his hand was moving and saw his face staring at her.

"Actually... I have a lot to say to Hanabi... It's the kind of happy, very happy thing. When I'm in front of you, that feeling is just as strong, even stronger... But when the words come to my lips, I don't know how to describe them. I can only say I love you. But I think that just a simple 'I love you' can't fully express how I feel right now. So I thought I'd come and see you, say a few simple words to you, and spend this short time with you."

Looking at her lovely face, Uesugi Kai realized that her familiar appearance had become more refined and mature, with less of her former naivety. He knew that this was a sign of time and a symbol that Hanabi was about to become his wife.

He recalled the past, the little girl who used to follow behind him, occasionally tugging at his clothes, sometimes presenting him with flowers in her hands, calling him Brother Zhao, and looking at his happy smile.

As Uesugi Kai recalled these things, he became even more moved. Not wanting her to see the tears welling up in his eyes, he lowered his head in front of her.

"Kai-kun..."

"Kai-kun always said that Hanabi would cry tears of happiness at her wedding, but now... Kai-kun is the one who cried first." Hanabi Hanabi held his hand and said to him with a smile.

Kai Uesugi tried to wipe away the tears that hadn't yet fallen, looked up at her with a smile, and said, "I lost."

"Hanabi might cry later... Kai-kun has already cried, so you're not allowed to cry later."

"That's unfair."

"That's very fair..."

"Hanabi will probably throw herself into my arms and cry later. I've never thrown myself into your arms and cried before."

Hanabi Hanabi smiled and said, "Kai-kun is like a child."

"Every man is a child at heart, only he grows up and no longer has someone to be affectionate with."

"So... Kai-kun, do you want a hug now?"

"Okay, but remember to hold it in your arms."

Hanabi Hanabi, somewhat reserved, took the initiative to hug him, resting his head on her slender shoulders.

It was just a simple hug, but Uesugi Kai couldn't stop cherishing it.

Her fragrance, her softness, and the warmth of her embrace were all constantly reflected in my heart.

Kai Uesugi kept snuggling into her arms, making Hanabi Hanabi, who was already a timid girl, very shy.

"Kai-kun... Kai-kun... should be... all better now, right?"

"No, that's not enough. Hanabi-chan is my wife."

"Kai-kun...we're getting married later...people will laugh at us if we do this."

"I don't care, Hanabi-chan is my wife anyway."

This awkward situation continued until Hanabi Hanabi's beautician knocked on the door and came in.

The beautician was a middle-aged woman. She hadn't expected that the newlyweds would be in the same room today. The groom didn't seem to be acting strangely, but the bride's face was flushed.

She smiled slightly; this wasn't unheard of.

The groom often sneaks into the bride's dressing room before the wedding ceremony and teases her until she blushes.

Hanabi Hanamaru's shy and reserved nature perfectly illustrates this point.

The beautician bowed to the two of them, then chased Uesugi Kai out, saying that the bride needed to change her clothes and men were not allowed to enter.

Kai Uesugi was kicked out and found Ai in the hallway.

"Brother is so lucky," she said with a smile.

"What's Ai Yi doing here?"

"I came to find my older brother and sister."

Kai Uesugi reached out and patted her head. "Sweetie, how about you and Chii help your brother out later?"

"What is it?"

"After the oath-taking ceremony, my brother will kiss my sister outside the venue. How about Aiyi takes pictures of that?"

"I hope Hanabi-neechan isn't angry?"

"No, she'll just get shy if she sees it."

"Ah-Zhao!"

Mrs. Uesugi and Mrs. Hanamaru rushed over, "Hurry, hurry, check your clothes, everyone's in the banquet hall, the wedding is about to start!"

Kai Uesugi looked at the two excited mothers, smiled, and agreed:

"it is good."

###Chapter 389 This is the happiest moment of my life###

The wedding ceremony was held at the "Hōsaiden" of Meiji Shrine.

During the event, the wedding procession, led by a priest, will walk slowly through the approach to the temple and past the tourist attractions.

Surrounded by lush green forests, Uesugi Kai, dressed in a black haori and holding a folding fan, waited at the entrance for Hanamaru Hanabi to emerge from the palace.

The feeling of waiting is always exciting.

This time, the bride's attire did not strictly adhere to tradition.

Or perhaps it's a matter of keeping up with the times; the Shinto weddings at Meiji Shrine now respect the wishes of the guests more, and the style of the white kimono and makeup have changed somewhat.

Uesugi Kai and his friends didn't wait long outside the door before Hanabi Hanamaru came out, supported by Mrs. Hanamaru.

Hanabi Hanamaru donned a white wedding dress with red satin. The pure white wedding kimono was holy and beautiful. She wore a golden hairpin on her head, and her hair, tied with red silk and lilies, swayed lightly with her steps.

Her face was slightly flushed, and at a glance, Uesugi Kai could see the dreamy shyness on her delicate face.

When Uesugi Kai saw that Hanamaru Hanabi had noticed him, her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, but after just one glance, she lowered her eyes shyly and reservedly.

There was joy, but also a touch of shyness unique to young girls.

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled and led her toward Kai Uesugi. When they arrived in front of Kai Uesugi, he noticed the girl's small hands, which seemed to have nowhere to go, in front of her lower abdomen.

Her slender, white hands were clasped together, sometimes touching each other, sometimes interlacing, as if she was trying to maintain a quiet and tidy image at the wedding.

But because she was too shy in front of him, she couldn't hide her wildly beating heart.

Meanwhile, the sound of Kitagawa Sakakisa praising her beauty, which brought knowing smiles to the faces of her friends and family, made her even more unable to control her excited heartbeat.

Hanamaru Hiroki walked over, dressed in a black kimono, with a serious expression. He didn't say anything, but simply took Hanamaru Hanabi's hand and placed it in Uesugi Kai's hand.

Hanamaru Hanabi immediately blushed.

"uncle."

"You brat, it's time to change how you address me."

"dad."

"Yes, I hope you remember what you told me before! Also, no divorce, no domestic violence. Hanabi is a girl with little opinion of her own. If you don't cherish her, her whole life will be ruined."

Uesugi's father and mother watched with smiles from the other side.

Mrs. Hanamaru came over and pulled Hanamaru Yuuki away, saying, "Alright, alright, Dad, today is your daughter's wedding, say some happy things."

"Everyone!"

At this time, several priests and shrine maidens from Meiji Shrine were about to tell everyone about the precautions to take on the way to the Hōsai-den.

With her parents' attention elsewhere, Uesugi Kai seized the opportunity to grab the little hand beside her, interlacing their fingers and pressing their palms together.

"It's a bit chilly," Uesugi Kai said in a low voice to the beautiful girl standing next to him, trying not to let others hear.

He immediately felt a delicate little hand tightly gripping his.

"Kai, Kai-kun's... is so heartwarming..." Hanabi Hanamaru replied softly after a long while.

She stared at the bluestone beneath her feet, her cheeks flushed a lovely red, her heart pounding with nervousness and unease.

"Do you want me to hold your hand the whole time when we walk over there?"

"Is...is everything alright...?"

"Holding hands is definitely allowed. Besides, isn't this our wedding? Being too focused on tradition is not good. Hanabi's unique white kimono today speaks volumes."

Hanabi Hanamaru nodded weakly, her small hand tightening its grip on his large hand.

"Kai...Kai-kun...Hanabi...Does it look good today...?"

Her voice was short and weak, sounding like a plea.

On this day, as her bride, Uesugi Kai could even hear her pleading for security, for a simple "I like you" from him.

"nice."

"Hmm...hmm...I'm glad Kai-kun likes it..."

Perhaps because she was too nervous, Hanabi Hanamaru didn't say much after that.

But the fact that she kept clenching her little hands showed that she was excited and happy.

Under the guidance of the priest, the wedding procession set off.

The priests in their hunting robes led the way, playing their flutes and slowly releasing ethereal and melodious tunes.

Two shrine maidens, dressed in Chihaya's outer garment, followed closely behind.

The bride and groom stood at the front of the wedding procession, with red umbrellas above their heads, as they stepped onto the steps of the wedding path.

On both sides are lush, towering trees. Sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, dappling the moss-covered stone steps. The shimmering light is as beautiful as a summer day captured in a glass bottle.

Kai Uesugi held Hanabi Hanabi's hand and walked with her, step by step, up the moss-covered stone steps leading to the hall.

Her dress flowed beautifully, and her figure, enhanced by the wedding gown, was elegant and graceful.

A passerby couldn't help but stop and take out his camera to capture her happy expression.

As Uesugi Kai gazed at her and the procession slowly ascended the stone steps, the thought of her officially becoming his wife today filled him with a sweet happiness.

The delicate touch of the girl's small hand was conveyed to his heart through his tightly clasped right hand, and the beautiful ear and fair neck of Hanabi's rosy cheeks were thus presented to his eyes.

Mrs. Uesugi saw Kai Uesugi watching the fireworks from behind the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.
