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

She stood in front of the wardrobe, holding up dresses and comparing them for a long time before choosing the one she liked best. Then she sat down at the dressing table, put on light makeup, and wore the sapphire blue necklace that Uesugi Kai had given her.

Kai Uesugi skipped his class this morning to spend time with her.

When she went out, she carried a small blue bag on her arm and walked as if she were about to fly.

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph..."

"What song are you singing?" Uesugi Kai saw happiness and joy in her.

"I like Kai-kun's songs, hehe." She turned around, and sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a bright smile on the girl's face below.

"It's just a date, is it really necessary to be this happy? Logically speaking, we're an old married couple."

"Kai-kun promised to take Hanabi on a date." Hanabi thought he was going to change his mind, so she quickly came over, took his hands in hers, and shook them affectionately.

"Just kidding, I couldn't help it because you were so happy."

"Kai-kun is always so mean..." Hanabi Hanamaru muttered, "He just bullies girls like this."

She was right, but Uesugi Kai was unwilling to admit it.

"It's not that I like it, it's that Hanabi-chan likes being bullied, that's why I did it."

"Ugh, there are no girls there who would enjoy being bullied."

"Of course there is! Last night—"

The girl covered Uesugi's mouth with her hand and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

“But what I’m saying is true.” Uesugi Kai glanced at her, coughed twice deliberately, and stated in a monotone tone, “Last night, Hanabi-chan, in front of Kai-kun, was calling out, ‘Kai-kun, ah, Kai-kun, Kai-kun again—’”

"Bad Kai-kun! Bad Kai-kun!! Bad Kai-kun!!!"

Hanabi Hanamaru blushed as red as a steam engine when she heard these words.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at him, then lowered her face: "Kai-kun, really... we're on a date... and you still have to say these things."

"I just felt that you were so happy back then, weren't you?"

"Still talking!"

"I'm not saying anything more! I'm not saying anything more!" Uesugi Kai raised his hands in front of her.

"That's more like it..." Hanabi Hanamaru said with a triumphant expression.

The two walked side by side under the shade of the trees in the park. The air was fresh, the sun was shining brightly, the flowers were swaying, and the air was filled with the fragrance of birdsong.

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at him every now and then, then said, "Hanabi thinks... I can't agree to Kai-kun's requests so easily anymore..."

"How can this be?" Uesugi Kai almost panicked.

"Because...girls shouldn't just agree to anything with guys..."

"Hanabi-chan, no, wife! Where did you learn this twisted logic? No, you absolutely mustn't use it."

"I think fireworks are perfect."

"Right about what? Absolutely wrong." Uesugi Kai wanted to refute this point with his voice.

Hanabi Hanabi extended her right index finger and poked Uesugi Kai's lower lip: "From now on, when Kai-kun gets tired of you, he won't cherish Hanabi at all. Before... before... Kai-kun would ask Hanabi for a long time before even kissing you, but now he can kiss you anytime."

"Is the situation when you first started dating the same as the situation now?"

###Chapter 427 The Reunion Date###

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

(Not finished typing, more to come...)

"How can it not be...it's exactly the same!"

"She used to be my girlfriend, now she's my wife, it's different."

As soon as she heard him call her wife, Hanabi Hanabi lost her stubbornness.

"So, Kai-kun... do you still think Hanabi is cute...?"

Kai Uesugi met her bright purple eyes, which shone brilliantly in the sunlight. Her image was reflected in those eyes, along with her unique fragility.

"Cute, of course I think it's cute."

"Then... Kai-kun, would you like to hold Hanabi's hand?"

Kai Uesugi took her outstretched hand and held it in his palm: "Still shy?"

Hanabi Hanabi stood beside him, her cute little face lowered, "Can't girls...be shy...?"

"Are you thinking of going on a date with me?"

"It's because of the date...that's why I'm shy..."

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but smile: "Hanabi-chan is still as wonderful as ever."

Hanabi Hanabi's small hand clasped his. "Then Kai-kun, you should cherish this moment."

"it is good."

Kai Uesugi led her along the cobblestone path in the park. There were many elderly women out for a walk in the early morning, most of them with a pet.

As Uesugi Kai led him to buy cheese sticks from the shopping cart, Hanabi Hanamaru stared at a large golden retriever passing by behind her.

“Kai-kun.” She tugged at his hand.

"what?"

"I want to get a pet." Hanabi Hanamaru looked at the big golden retriever with its tail wagging.

Kai Uesugi saw it too: "What's so great about pets?"

"Hey, aren't pets good? They're so cute, kittens and puppies are all so adorable."

Kai Uesugi was completely dismissive. "If you like cats, I'll transform into one for you."

"And...where's the puppy?"

"It's okay during sex."

"..."

"Kai-kun is saying this again... Hanabi wants you to buy a puppy, not that she wants you to..."

"I'd be happy to, you can just step on me."

"Ugh..." Hanabi blushed as she took the cheese stick he offered. "Kai-kun always says things like this after we got married..."

Her eyes were fixed on the golden cheese stick in her hand, drenched in cheese and ketchup, and she whispered:

"Pervert, utter pervert..."

Then she opened her soft, chubby little mouth and took a bite.

"Be careful, it'll burn you," Uesugi Kai said with concern from the side.

"Hoo hoo~" After finally swallowing the scalding hot cheese stick, Hanabi looked at Kai Uesugi and said, "Hanabi wants to ask Kai-kun a question."

"What's the problem?"

"What if a girl marries a complete pervert?"

“Well,” the two walked under the trees in the park. There was no one around, only the flowers rustling. Uesugi Kai held an uneaten cheese stick in his right hand and thought seriously, “My advice is to run as far away as possible, otherwise, who knows what weird things might happen in the future.”

"Really?"

“However,” Uesugi Kai smiled as he looked at the girl standing beside him, “the big pervert wouldn’t let his wife run away. No matter where she goes, with his perverted nature, he will find her and bring her back.”

"A pervert is a pervert..."

Upon hearing her say that about herself, Uesugi Kai pounced on her, pinning her down on her back, and used one hand to tickle her waist.

"Ugh! How annoying!"

Hanabi Hanabi was still holding the cheese stick she hadn't finished eating. She was no match for him and could only laugh and turn away, running far away to hide under an oak tree with a diameter of more than a meter.

Why are you hiding?

"Kai-kun, you're a jerk! That's not fair." Hanabi Hanamaru only peeked out from behind the tree.

"What's unfair about it?"

"Hanabi was just eating!"

"Aren't I eating too?"

"Kai-kun, that was a sneak attack!"

Hanabi Hanabi hid completely behind a tree, her voice coming from where she disappeared: "Anyway! It's just not fair. I'll play with Kai-kun after I finish eating Hanabi."

The gentle breeze of an October morning made the leaves of the tall oak trees rustle. Uesugi Kai stood at the other end, unable to resist smiling at the spot where she had disappeared.

Thinking back, she used to play hide-and-seek with me in the park all the time.

That little girl thought she was very clever, always thinking that Kai-nii wouldn't be able to catch her, but little did she know that Kai-nii had memorized all the places she liked to hide, and could find her in the park without her visiting more than three spots each time.

She was still smiling happily when she was found.

Smile at yourself.

Even though that little face looks silly and she's always crying.

There are so many memories of her; just going out for a date and walking in the park for a while brings back so many things from the past.

Hanabi Hanabi was eating a cheese stick behind the oak tree, constantly peeking her head in his direction as if afraid he would disappear.

As soon as Uesugi Kai walked over, she immediately hid.

Uesugi Kai peered around the tree, searching for her, but she also circled the tree to avoid his gaze, leaving him only with a faint silhouette.

Why are you avoiding me?

"Hmm, let's play with Kai-kun after Hanabi finishes eating. Now Kai-kun is coming over to tickle Hanabi."

"I'm not tickling you, stop." Uesugi Kai stopped in his tracks.

Hanabi Hanamaru tentatively peeked out from behind the tree trunk to look at him, and then Uesugi Kai suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's arm as she tried to run away.
