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

Not right.

As Uesugi Kai watched her retreating figure, he thought to himself that she should really want to see him change his clothes, so why did she refuse so easily?

Or is it feigned indifference?

No, I can't fall for her tricks.

In this war, I must make her submit.

Despite facing a series of events, Uesugi Kai felt he was starting to lose control of his passion.

"Cough cough..."

After changing her clothes, Uesugi Kai tied a towel around her waist and, carrying a bathtub, prepared to walk towards the hot spring pool.

During the visit, I also noticed that the shopkeeper had thoughtfully piled up some snacks on a small table next to the counter, so I took them along with the snacks.

Hanabi Hanabi was already soaking in the hot spring. When Kai Uesugi walked over, he could see her back, her bare shoulders, her fair neck, and that... conspicuous bun hairstyle.

Uesugi Kai tested the water temperature with his hand and found it to be just right, not too hot, just enough to make soaking comfortable, so he stepped into the water.

moment.

"Whoo~"

The pleasant temperature enveloped my entire body, providing ultimate comfort.

Once it calmed down, it looked across at Hanamaru Hanabi, who was resting her hand on her shoulder in the sunlight.

Kai Uesugi's gaze was drawn to it.

Viewed from the side, her face was slightly flushed and dotted with water droplets. These droplets reflected the golden light of the sun, creating a dreamlike effect in the light mist of the hot spring. Her cheeks glowed and became a charming cherry-red.

After entering the hot spring, Uesugi Kai felt the waves. She turned her head, slightly raised her snow-white shoulder, and looked at Uesugi Kai at an angle with her violet eyes, smiling as she said:

"Kai-kun, come and help Hanabi wash her back."

Back wash?

How could I refuse my wife's request?

Uesugi Kai slowly approached her, placing his hands on her neck and gazing at her snow-white neck, adorned with delicate pink beads.

Unlike his own, the girl's shoulders were not very firm. Her small shoulders were soft, and when he pinched them, he could feel her shoulders shifting with the force of his hand. It was as if by placing his hand on her shoulders, he could personally feel the girl's petite and weak body.

If you massage it for a long time, you'll feel your bones soften.

"Would you like a massage?" Uesugi Kai asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Hmm...of course." Hanabi Hanamaru raised her chin slightly, her eyes slowly closed, and the sunlight on her face made her feel as refreshed as if she were receiving a morning bath.

Behind her, Uesugi Kai began to knead her hands.

The massage movements weren't very large, but they seemed to be gently pinching her shyness, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.

It seems that Xiaohuahuo's blushing is not entirely under her control; as soon as her body temperature rises, her face will turn a blush, making her look adorable.

However, at this moment, her cheeks were being greeted by the morning sun shining down from the sky, and that blush was coated with a layer of hazy light, making her cheeks look absolutely beautiful.

Uesugi Kai felt that she was almost like a fairy at this moment, not like his wife at all.

"Kai-kun".

Hanabi Hanabi's cheeks were bathed in sunlight as she turned her back to him, secretly smiling at him from the side.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai felt her shoulders tighten slightly, making her appear even more coquettish.

"Just now, Hanabi saw Kai's dazed look in the light reflected from the water."

"The water's surface?" Uesugi Kai turned her head to look, then said to her light, graceful figure appearing on the water's surface, "With so many ripples, how could you possibly see anything clearly?"

"It's not that the fireworks are clear enough, it's that Kai-kun's stunned expression means there's no need to see them clearly."

Hanabi Hanabi, with her right hand resting on her slightly raised left shoulder, tilted her head and smiled as she asked the man behind her:

"Kai-kun, can't wait any longer?"

"Yes, a little..."

Kai Uesugi wanted to get closer to her, so he took the initiative to hug her.

"No."

As soon as he approached, Hanabi Hanabi turned around in front of him, holding a towel to her chest with one hand, and said with a cute smile, "Not yet. Besides, we came to the hot spring inn just to soak in the hot spring, right?"

"? We're here for the hot springs...?" Uesugi Kai wanted to get closer.

"I already said, no."

Hanabi Hanabi raised her fair, slender legs, placing the tips of her feet and five soft, rounded toes on his chest, her left hand holding a towel that was loosely covering her chest. "Kai-kun should listen to Hanabi. Also, Kai-kun's heart is beating very fast."

Her five delicate, pink toes tucked in, tightening around his chest.

Kai Uesugi felt his heart soften at her feet: "Hanabi, you speak, I'm listening."

"Are you willing to do anything?" Hanabi Hanabi asked with a charming smile.

"Whatever." Uesugi Kai knew that she had been playing hard to get and manipulating him, but it didn't matter anymore, nothing mattered.

“First,” Hanabi Hanabi said, puffing out her cheeks, “Kai-kun, you can’t bully Hanabi.”

"Okay, I will never bully Little Firework."

"Secondly, Kai-kun should buy Hanabi some delicious food."

"Okay, I'll buy you delicious food every day."

"Third, Kai-kun must listen to Hanabi."

"Okay, I'll listen to Little Firework."

Hanabi Hanamaru smiled, lowered her little feet that had been pressing against his chest, and moved back to sit on a rock that was higher than the hot spring pool.

"Then first, how about you massage Hanabi's legs, okay, Kai-kun?"

Hanabi Hanamaru sat sideways on a rock, her slender legs stretched forward, half of them resting on the surface of the hot spring pool.

"Okay, no problem."

As soon as Uesugi Kai walked over, she poked his face with her index finger again.

"Kai-kun, the massage should be done from bottom to top, and the thighs should be done last."

From bottom to top?

Wouldn't that be...?

"Whoo~"

Kai Uesugi exhaled a puff of hot, smoky breath. "It's nothing, just a foot massage."

What is the first step in foot massage?

Hold your feet with both hands, then use your thumbs to press on the upper part of the calf.

Kai Uesugi came to Hanabi Hanabi's little feet, and following the memory in his mind, he held them with both hands and found the pressure point.

"Whoo~"

Not to mention her cherry-red feet, which were also soft and small, how could you find acupoints on them?

"Kai-kun, hurry up." Hanabi Hanamaru on the other end wiggled her toes, causing the hot spring water around her to move as well.

"Whoo~"

Kai Uesugi took a deep breath, thinking, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a foot massage, it's a legitimate one, it's legitimate."

......

Uesugi Kai didn't know how she got through the time of massaging her little feet; she just felt incredibly hot soaking in the hot spring, and her head was covered in sweat.

......

Looking up at the sky as she stepped outside, Uesugi Kai felt incredibly weak, whether from soaking in the hot spring for too long or something else.

But at the same time, he still has some spirit.

I don't know what kind of mental state this is, but for now, it's okay.

"It's almost 11 o'clock, Kai-kun is going to be late for work." Hanabi Hanamaru sat in the driver's seat of the car and glanced at her phone. "We still have to return the car to Dad's later."

"Hanabi, you'll have to come to work with me too, right?" Uesugi Kai said weakly. "It's okay if I go later, Kohashi is covering for me."

"Why do you seem so listless, Kai-kun?" Hanabi asked with a smile from the side.

"Feeling listless? Actually, I'm not too bad. It's just that the night and the morning seemed to pass by rather slowly, like two or three days had gone by."

"That's because I had a great time today." Hanabi Hanamaru inserted the car key and turned it inward.

The car starts, and the engine makes a running sound.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

The black Toyota car drove out of the parking lot and headed towards Tokyo.

With droopy eyelids, Uesugi Kai stared at the scenery flashing past the car window, feeling unusually drowsy as the car swayed and rocked.

"Hanabi-chan, I'm going to take a nap. Are you alright?"

"It's alright, Hanabi is still very energetic." Hanabi Hanamaru said, her hands gripping the steering wheel.

"Hmm...hmm, you have a lot of energy."

Uesugi Kai lowered the chair behind him, reclined, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

###Chapter 461 The Great Operation to Reclaim Love and Youth###

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

It took Kai Uesugi an hour to get back to Tokyo in the afternoon, where he met his father-in-law at the police station.

"Where did you go to play?"

"Lake Sagami, over in Kanagawa."

“It’s not too far,” Hanamaru Hiroki glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi in the driver’s seat, then said to Uesugi Kai in front of him, “Aren’t you planning to learn to drive?”
