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

[Hmph, Kai-kun won't see this diary anyway, so I'll just say that about him!]

Below is another image of Uesugi Kai lying on a girl's lap, fast asleep with his arms wrapped around her thigh.

You must have written this while you were asleep, right?

Kai Uesugi looked out the window, trying to imagine Hanabi Hanabi glaring angrily at him as he slept.

Maybe she even twisted her face or something?

[November 23, 10:30 AM, Weather: Sunny with snow]

Kai-kun is still sleeping on Hanabi's lap. I don't know why I'm writing so much about my feelings today... Maybe it's because I'm about to leave this world... It's not that I'm completely leaving, but I'm just becoming my true self again, falling into a state of deep sleep... Actually, when you know you're about to disappear, you can even quietly gaze at the snowflakes outside the car window for a long time...

[Also, Hanabi really likes the way Kai leans on her while he sleeps, and hopes to see him more often these next few days...]

Kai Uesugi was already finding it hard to watch any further.

Since Black Hanabi is Hanabi herself, then when she is about to disappear, she naturally expresses Hanabi's reluctance to leave this world.

It knows it still exists, but it doesn't fully exist.

This feeling... is hard to understand, yet it's as if I can completely grasp it...

Click, the hotel door opened.

Kai Uesugi looked up and saw Hanabi Hanamaru, wearing a knitted sweater and carrying a small plastic bag, walking in from outside.

He quickly hid Huahuo's phone behind his back.

"Kai-kun is already awake. Hanabi brought you breakfast. We've arranged to go hiking on the snow-capped mountains of Hakodate with Mom and the others at 10 o'clock."

As Hanabi Hanamaru spoke, she changed into slippers and came in, sitting down on the sofa next to the coffee table. She then took out the breakfast items one by one from the plastic bag:

"Milk, sandwich, egg. Knowing that Kai-kun likes steak and fruit salad, Hanabi also specially got one. You can't eat too much for breakfast, so I only got one serving."

Looking at her little face as she busily and thoughtfully prepared breakfast for him, and recalling her diary entry about wanting to see him a few more times, Uesugi Kai couldn't help but move closer to her.

"Alright, Kai-kun, hurry up and eat."

Hanabi Hanabi had just finished speaking when she noticed something was off about the way he was looking at her. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it just felt like something crawled into my arms last night."

###Chapter 497 Sweet Snow Scenery of Mount Hakodate###

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

Sunlight shattered on the earth, and the snowflakes on the ground were tinged with a shimmering gold.

Kai Uesugi put the newly bought gloves on Ai and Chii's little hands.

"Did Nini put gloves on Hanabi-neechan like this before?" Ai's hands naturally fell down, and she looked up at him with her little face upturned.

"Wear gloves?" Uesugi Kai couldn't quite understand why she asked that.

"Yes, helping a girl put on gloves is actually a very gentle gesture."

"This is pretty ordinary, isn't it?" Uesugi Kai said with a smile, his gaze falling on Hanabi Hanabi walking ahead of him. She had her back to him, and the sunlight filtering through the clouds shimmered on her shoulders.

The snowy street scene and her silhouette blended together, creating a beauty beyond words.

Aiyi raised her gloved hands, which, together with her jet-black hair, resembled a small beret matching her sailor uniform, making her look particularly well-behaved. "Wearing gloves given by boys makes my hands feel warm."

"That sounds like a gesture of goodwill." Uesugi Kai chuckled twice, recalling Ai's situation at school. "Are those two boys still pursuing you, wanting to be your boyfriend?"

Aiyi lowered her head, looked at her little feet treading in the snow, and nodded: "Yes."

"They're still persisting?" Uesugi Kai was slightly surprised. How long has it been? Several months, I suppose.

Those two boys really have perseverance.

However, both Qian Aiyi and Aiyi are pretty good-looking and will definitely grow into beautiful young women.

"Yeah, but Aiyi doesn't like them. Once, Aiyi dropped her eraser on the ground, and they all fought over it to pick it up and give it back to her... They even got into a fight and the teacher called them into the office."

this...

To some extent, Aiyi is quite popular.

That's true. Although Aiyi is a primary school student, her mindset is already similar to that of some high school students. She knows a lot and is sensible.

With Xiao Aiyi's discerning eye, how could she possibly be interested in two little brats who fight over an eraser?

"Are you adjusting well to the new class?"

"Mmm." Ai Yi nodded. Seeing Qian Ai Yi's moving shadow in front of her, the little girl couldn't help but step on it. She would only move her feet if she stepped on her sister's shadow, hopping around like a rabbit.

Stepping on shadows...

Kai Uesugi was reminded of Hanabi Hanamaru, who used to walk home from school with him when they were children.

Although she never stepped on her own shadow, she liked to step on the white lines on the road. She would often stare at her feet and walk in a straight line like a cat. When she encountered a place without white lines, she would deliberately jump to the other side and continue to step on the lines.

As a primary school student at the time, he didn't think much of it, but now when he thinks about it, he always finds those little fireworks incredibly cute.

Indeed, once people grow up, they can't help but reminisce about the good old days, right?

.........

The journey to Mount Hakodate takes about 40 minutes by bus and train.

It only takes 15 minutes to drive there.

To save time, Kai Uesugi paid out of his own pocket to call two taxis on Uber.

The total cost was 7898 yen.

Seeing that he could actually afford a taxi, Uesugi Kai couldn't help but marvel at how rich he was, looking at the old lady sweeping snow by the roadside.

After getting off the bus, we arrived at the Hakodate Mountain Ski Resort Station.

The cable car station is located at the top of the slope. There weren't too many people, but you still had to queue to buy tickets.

Although Mount Hakodate is famous for its night view, visitors here say that the afternoon view is also quite nice.

After handing their baby sister to their mother, Uesugi Kai and Hanamaru Hanabi walked through the glass doors and lined up at the ticket counter in Hakodate.

"By the way, who was the person who met with Kai last night?" Hanabi Hanamaru's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

"A Chinese person I met yesterday."

"Friends?" Hanabi Hanamaru asked.

"I wouldn't call him a friend, but I saw him huddled alone on the street and felt sorry for him, so I treated him to a bowl of ramen." Uesugi Kai didn't want to go into too much detail about Wen Yinlin and Hanabi.

Firstly, I was afraid she would overthink things after hearing it. Secondly, she wouldn't be happy after hearing that sad story.

After all, it's not a pleasant thought to think that a girl lost everything in an earthquake more than a decade ago, and then permanently lost an eye in her dream more than a decade later.

"Oh, I see."

Hanabi Hanabi nodded as if she understood, then a smile appeared on her pretty face. She playfully poked her face with her index fingers, saying cutely, "Kai-kun is surprisingly kind."

She was already very cute, and she deliberately tilted her head slightly to smile at people, making the little boy in line on the other side blush. At the same time, he lowered his face shyly, afraid that Hanamaru Hanahiko would see him when she turned around.

"What does it mean to be unexpectedly kind? It means to be inherently kind."

Hanabi Hanabi didn't notice the boy, and Kai Uesugi didn't know either. He only knew that the little boy on the other side became shy and scared in front of Hanabi, and as her husband, he was quite happy to see it.

It's similar to the feeling of "I have it, but you don't".

Commonly known as showing affection in public.

Suddenly, Uesugi Kai had an idea. He deliberately extended his right arm and asked the beautiful girl in front of him, "Would you like to hold my hand? That would make us look more like a couple."

"Hidden agenda..." Hanabi glanced at his arm, which was propped up on his waist like a chicken wing, muttered something, lowered her eyelids slightly, and then firmly refused, "No way!"

After that, Uesugi Kai could only watch her back and the white scarf around her neck.

The difference between the two is that Black Flower's refusal and initiative are both arbitrary. She will only agree if she feels happy, but her happiness is unpredictable and hard to fathom.

......

The cable car has a capacity of 126 people.

When the security guards at the attraction signaled for their family to go inside, the place was already packed with people.

Mrs. Hanamaru peered inside: "It feels like the subway at Shinjuku Station."

Mrs. Uesugi couldn't help but remark, "People are coming to Hakodate to see the snow so early this year."

"Blame it on the weather this year, it got cold way too quickly."

That's true.

Because they were holding Uesugi Kokoro and Hanamaru Hanabi, the two mothers and the two little girls had a place to sit, while Uesugi Kai and Hanamaru Hanabi were squeezed to the edge of the crowd.

Kai Uesugi braced himself against the glass, holding Hanabi Hanabi protectively in his arms.

From this perspective, she is indeed a rather petite girl.

As the announcement ended, the cable car began to move, tilting upwards and gradually moving away from the snow-covered city cluster.

"Does this posture seem strangely familiar?"

Sunlight streamed down from the corner, landing precisely on Uesugi Kai's profile, making the rising steam from his breath quite visible.

“Of course,” because she was being held in his arms, Hanabi could clearly smell his scent. The girl raised her eyebrows and looked at his face, which was so close to hers. “Kai-kun always uses this to grope Hanabi.”

"Taking advantage of me...?" Uesugi Kai almost couldn't support his arms.

"They would take advantage of the situation, and often use the stop of the tram to squeeze their bodies closer to Hanabi."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Uesugi Kai asked with a wry smile.

"It's not comfortable at all." Hanabi Hanamaru crossed her arms and glared at him cutely. "Kai-kun kept rubbing against me as the train started moving, and even after I got home, my chest still hurt."

Ok?

Kai Uesugi felt that his wife was getting more and more outrageous.

"No, I'm very careful about what I say."

"Kai-kun... he actually made advances on Hanabi when she was only fifteen... perverted Kai-kun."

"What? I saw you naked when you were a kid."
