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

Hanabi Hanamaru straightened her skirt and sat down in the chair. Then she heard Mrs. Hanamaru ask, "Did Kai apologize to you?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Hanamaru glanced at Kai Uesugi across from her with a smile.

Hanabi is Black Hanabi, but she always manages to perfectly conceal her other personality in front of her family.

"Kai-kun...didn't do anything wrong..."

Seeing that Hanabi-chan was still protecting Uesugi Kai, Mrs. Uesugi turned around and glared at her son: "Have you forgotten what I told your second mother again?"

Second, second mother?

Shouldn't it be "Auntie"?

Kai Uesugi didn't react for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and replied, "I really apologized. If you don't believe me, Mom, you can ask Hanabi."

"Really?"

Hanabi Hanamaru was being watched by both mothers at the same time. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.

Mrs. Uesugi glanced at her son with a reproachful look: "Kai, if you bully Hanabi again, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"tidy..."

Kai Uesugi wanted to smile wryly again. Why was he hearing words he'd never heard before so often these past few days?

Did I really bully Hanabi too much?

No...

Well, that's how it is.

"Nini, take a look." Xiao Aiyi handed him the menu she was holding.

Kai Uesugi noticed that she had ticked off all the desserts on the small slip next to the menu, and as her older brother, he couldn't help but remind her, "Eat less sweets, or you'll get cavities."

"Okay," Ai said, sounding like she was agreeing, but also like she wasn't.

Kai Uesugi continued flipping through the menu.

Salad - 2500 yen

so expensive?

That's enough to buy several portions outside.

However, judging from the picture, the salad contains not only vegetables, but also meat products such as bacon, cured meat, and tuna puree.

Given the restaurant's beautiful view, the price is acceptable.

Kai Uesugi continued watching.

Sushi Royal Set——3000 yen

Sushi platter – 2200 yen

Japanese style gourmet meal——3700 yen

Squid rice 1100, Nanban fried chicken 700...

Actually, the restaurant's set meals all come with dessert. Aiyi just ordered an extra portion, which was expensive and small.

Uesugi Kai asked Ai in the middle:

"How about we skip the strawberry cake you ordered? The set meal comes with a complimentary dessert."

"Okay then..." Ai nodded obediently and agreed.

Most children would shake their heads, but Ai was so compliant that Uesugi Kai wanted her to eat what she liked. Besides, they didn't even know if there was strawberry cake in the dessert.

Forget it.

Uesugi Kai didn't draw an X on the back of the strawberry cake. Let her and Chii share the cake; both little girls love it.

Just as Uesugi Kai was preparing to choose what set meal she wanted to eat.

His gaze suddenly fell upon a woman with a unique air at the next table.

Because Hanabi had been jealous, Uesugi Kai remembered very clearly that she was the beautiful woman who took a family photo of them when they got off the train.

She was wearing a brown beret, a plain long dress, and had long hair draped over her back; she was tall and slender.

Like Qian Aiyi, she also has a very noticeable beauty mark on her left eye.

Is it such a coincidence?

We met again here.

Kai Uesugi didn't dare look at the woman sitting next to him for too long; he was afraid that Hanabi would get jealous if she noticed.

Kuro Hanabi is good in every way, except that she is extremely sensitive when facing other women.

He still remembers how she looked when she first appeared...

too frightening.

.......

Uesugi Kai ordered a sushi set meal, which was a very large portion, consisting of a salad, tempura, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), 8 pieces of sushi, radish soup, and tea.

Tempura is translucent white, crispy but not oily, and tastes like a crispy fried side dish with a rich shrimp flavor.

Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard).

Chawanmushi is actually Japanese steamed egg, which is different from Chinese steamed egg.

Instead of scallions, use shrimp, small shiitake mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, and a rich, concentrated broth.

The sushi was slightly inferior to the previous two items; the rice was a bit hard, and the flavors and spices of the ingredients weren't well-balanced, resulting in a one-sided taste.

Radish soup and tea are worth trying.

There's nothing more pleasant than enjoying a delicious meal, a cup of hot tea, and exhaling a breath of warm air amidst a snowy winter landscape.

Their family was seated by the window, with a panoramic view of the mountains, foothills, Hakodate City, and the coastline. The cable car, ascending along the cable, was bathed in the bright sunlight and offered a breathtaking vista through the huge, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. The vastness of the view made them feel as if they were standing on a mountaintop, arms outstretched, eyes closed, welcoming the wind and dew with joy.

Enjoying such a beautiful view while eating is truly delightful.

Uesugi Kai even unusually raised his phone to take a picture of Hanamaru Hanabi eating.

"what happened?"

In Japan, camera sounds cannot be turned off, so naturally, Hanabi noticed him taking pictures.

Kai Uesugi smiled at her: "It's nothing, just a GIF."

“I see,” Hanabi Hanabi nodded, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then smiled at Kai Uesugi, “I didn’t expect Kai-kun to start sharing his life too.”

“I want to show off a bit too,” Uesugi Kai replied with a smile.

Perhaps it's because Hanabi Hanabi is growing recently, but she ate a lot for lunch. Not only did she finish a 3700 yen sushi set meal, but she also ordered hot chocolate and secretly ate Ai and Chii's strawberry cake.

Looking at her satisfied expression, Uesugi Kai couldn't help but shake his head.

Be careful not to gain weight.

###Chapter 500 The Fir Forest in the Snow###

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

It turns out that Hanabi's appetite has indeed increased recently.

Even Mrs. Hanamaru couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise when she saw the empty plate in front of her.

"Could she be pregnant?"

Mrs. Uesugi: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's because the weather in Hokkaido is cold, and they wanted to eat something?"

Mrs. Hanamaru looked at her daughter with a worried expression: "If I get pregnant, it will definitely interfere with my studies. If I don't get pregnant, I always feel like something is missing."

Mrs. Uesugi nodded in agreement: "It's a feeling similar to anticipation mixed with some reservations."

Hanabi Hanabi is currently feeding Hanabi Hanayu, who has just learned to walk. The little one's teeth haven't fully developed yet, so she can only be fed plain white rice, with maybe a little fish mixed in at most.

Even so, she ate restlessly, leaving rice stuck to her small mouth, which her older sister had to wipe clean for her.

Unlike her, Uesugi Kokoro, who was being fed by Uesugi Kai, was much more well-behaved. She quietly ate the rice her brother fed her, her chubby little hands propped on the table, staring blankly at Hanamaru Hanabi across from her.

Mrs. Hanamaru: "Why does it feel like Xin is much more obedient than Hanayu?"

Mrs. Uesugi said with a smile, "I always feel that Hana is not like her older sister; she's very active."

Although the little guy can't speak, he knows his own name.

Seemingly hearing people talking about her, the little girl giggled and waved her little paws in circles.

Hanabi Hanabi quickly put her rice bowl and spoon aside and patted her younger sister's back: "Okay, okay, eat quietly."

The little one may be naughty, but he listens to his older sister. He went over and hugged her, then turned back to continue eating the food the spoon was offering him.

Whenever Kai Uesugi sees Hanabi Hanabi taking care of children, she feels that Hanabi has a very gentle maternal nature.

Is this something that all girls like her possess?

He couldn't help but imagine himself resting his head on her lap.

......

After lunch, we ordered a few cups of coffee and sat in the restaurant for a while.

After enjoying the breathtaking scenery of Mount Hakodate, the family decided to hike down the mountain instead of taking the cable car.

On both sides of Mount Hakodate, there are many tall and spruce trees, standing quietly with their branches covered with thick snow. The entire forest is serene under the snowy sky.

Wooden stake fences stand on both sides of the path, with clear, transparent river water flowing below.

Hanabi Hanamaru's delicate face is framed by the colorless, transparent sky, her skin flawless and white.

Kai Uesugi appeared beside her, breathing out warm air, and smiled, saying, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Ah."

Hanabi Hanamaru nodded slightly, her violet eyes shining brightly in the clear sky.

With her feet firmly planted on the soft snow, Uesugi Kai continued walking ahead with her. "Faced with this scenery, if I were walking alone, I would only think it's beautiful."

"And now?" Hanabi Hanamaru had a white scarf around her neck, and half of her rosy cheeks were buried in it.
