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

【Hana-maru Hanabi】reached out and pinched her stomach.

"You've gained a little weight; I guess you've been eating too many snacks lately."

【Hana Maru Hanabi】pulled her legs out of the blankets; delicate white jade, lotus-like feet—that's exactly what describes the girl's legs.

But why does it still feel strange?

【Hanamaru Hanabi】couldn't help but sigh.

He turned his head and noticed that Hanabi Hanamoto, who was sleeping in beside him, frowned.

"Kai-kun..."

Okay, even Xiaohuahuo's voice sounded weak.

However, no matter how you hear your own voice, you can't escape the word "strange".

"Alright, lazybones, get up."

[Hana Maru Hanabi] sat on the bed and reached out to pat her face.

"Kai-kun...?"

"Get up quickly, get up quickly."

"Kai-kun...your voice...it sounds so much like Hanabi's..."

Hanabi rubbed her eyes, and her blurred vision gradually cleared.

When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she immediately froze.

"Fireworks?"

###Chapter 501 The Snowman in the Snow###

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

on the road.

Kai Uesugi noticed that Hanabi Hanabi was clinging to his arm and pressing her face and body against him. The girl's eyes had even given up their function of seeing where she was going and were completely closed.

Is it really okay to walk like this?

“What’s wrong with that?” Hanabi Hanabi pulled his arm and stretched her neck toward him, like she was stretching her neck while sleeping. “The vacation is only three days long, so of course Hanabi wants to cherish every minute and second.”

However, this period of time ended halfway up the mountain.

In the field of vision, there was a wide, circular snowfield.

Snowflakes were falling in the mountains and forests, and many tourists chose to stay there.

Of course, most of the tourists are there to accompany the children who want to build a snowman.

Aiyi and Qian Aiyi also wanted to play. The two one-year-olds were very excited to see so many round snowmen in their mother's arms, kicking their legs non-stop.

Indeed, all children are the same.

"Let's go play for a while," Mrs. Uesugi said with a smile to Ai and Chii.

Ai and Qian Ai didn't need Uesugi Kai's care, but his two little sisters needed his care. He squatted down and watched his sisters stumble and fall as they walked in the snow, taking one step and then pausing.

Kai Uesugi clenched one fist against his tilted head, his eyes silently watching his sisters bending down to grab snowballs.

Human babies seem to be very enthusiastic about building snowmen.

When the two of them got tired of playing with the branches in their hands, they casually threw them away, grabbed the snowballs in their hands, and tiptoed and stumbled to the other side.

They found Aiyi and Qian Aiyi, who had rolled out a snowball that was half a person tall, and then followed their older sisters, helping them push with their gloved little hands.

Uesugi Shin was alright, but she walked very slowly and could barely keep up with her older sister's pace.

But Hanamaru Hanayu was different. The little girl kept rushing forward, but she had only just learned to walk and couldn't even stand steadily.

Naturally, he tripped and fell hard after only a couple of steps.

His little head plunged straight into the snow like an upside-down scallion.

Kai Uesugi smiled knowingly as he watched Hanamaru Hanayu, with her short arms and legs, bury her entire head in the snow.

Mrs. Hanamaru, who was holding a camera nearby, also laughed.

She quickly took a picture of her youngest daughter with her head buried in the snow, then went over to help lift her up and held her in her arms.

"Are you alright?" Mrs. Hanamaru gently brushed the snowflakes off her face.

It's amazing that the little one, who's just over a year old, didn't cry.

However, her aunt was quite carefree; she actually took a picture before going to rescue her daughter, Uesugi Kai thought to herself.

"Okay! Kai-kun!" Hanabi Hanamaru, who was squatting next to him, held her phone in both hands and suddenly pouted at him with a dissatisfied expression.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai turned to her.

"Kai-kun, take a look for yourself." Hanamaru Hanabi held the phone screen up to his eyes.

Kai Uesugi stared intently at the screen and realized it was a tweet he had just posted at the restaurant.

The picture shows Hanabi Hanabi eating quietly. There is a stack of small plates for sushi in front of her, which she has obviously finished all by herself.

The caption above the image reads in large, clear text:

【pig】

Hanabi Hanamaru put her phone away, and her somewhat angry face appeared before her.

“Didn’t I set it so you couldn’t see it…” Uesugi Kai murmured, looking down.

"what?!"

"It's nothing." Uesugi Kai looked up and smiled.

Hanabi Hanabi pouted, glanced at her phone screen again, then raised her slightly displeased eyebrows and looked him straight in the eye: "What's the meaning of this caption?"

"It's obvious."

"Obvious?"

"【Pig】=【Meaty】=【Cute】." Uesugi Kai tried his best to pronounce clearly, and then a small, cold hand suddenly reached into his clothes, causing a severe injury to the flesh on his waist.

This hurts much more than having your foot stepped on.

"Sigh~"

Kai Uesugi grinned and let out a long sigh.

"...Do all girls like to pinch this spot?"

"This is Hanabi's first time touching this spot, Kai-kun, please don't misunderstand!" Hanabi's gaze didn't leave his face.

"...Hanabi."

"Does Kai-kun have anything to say in his defense? Not only did he secretly call Hanabi a pig, but he also wanted to block Hanabi from his chat."

"I just thought you were really cute back then... and suddenly wanted to share it with everyone," Uesugi Kai explained, forcing a smile. "Also, your hands are a little cold, do you want me to warm them up for you?"

"Kai-kun... now you know how to make Hanabi happy?" Hanamaru Hanabi withdrew her hand, not wanting to touch the flesh on his waist anymore, that place was hard to tug at!

"I am being sincere and have no intention of flattering you."

"So you mean you're unwilling to please?"

Even on a snowy day, the girl wore a pleated skirt. Her slender, graceful legs were clad in black over-the-knee stockings that felt as smooth as silk.

Between the knee-high socks and the short skirt, in what is known as the "absolute territory," the girl's fair and smooth thighs can be clearly seen.

"Of course not—"

Hanabi Hanabi was now squatting with her skirt tucked in. Kai Uesugi glanced at her unintentionally and almost thought he was seeing things. Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked the girl:

"Just now... in the woods, Hanabi, you fell on the white snow..."

"Oh, that..." Hanabi smiled at him, "Hanabi put it in her bag."

"You put it in your bag?! You didn't—" Uesugi Kai paused, looking at her cute and innocent face, "meaning you didn't put it on?"

"No~" Hanabi Hanabi chuckled and leaned close to his ear, her voice sounding like she was biting his earlobe while breathing hot air into his ear canal. "And right now, only Kai-kun knows."

"...But you were wearing a short skirt." Uesugi Kai couldn't help but steal a glance at the spot where they had just been.

"It's alright, only Kai-kun can see it anyway." Hanabi Hanamaru noticed his gaze, smiled and deliberately stood up, her knee-high black stockings perfectly outlining her beautiful legs.

Uesugi Kai understood immediately and, of course, didn't get up. She glanced up... and it was indeed as she said...

Kai Uesugi coughed twice, then looked up at her and said, "Ahem, don't you feel cold wearing a skirt outside?"

"It's alright, it's actually a bit hot." Hanabi smiled, lifting her skirt in front of him to shake off the specks of snow that had accidentally gotten on it.

Kai Uesugi's eyes never left his spot.

"However, Kai-kun is anything but honest." Hanamaru Hanabi shook off the snowflakes, and her light skirt fluttered down slowly, covering her black-stockinged legs once again.

"I'm not being honest?"

"Yeah, she clearly wants to see it, but she deliberately changes the subject." Hanabi smiled, her cute and delicate face making it impossible to dislike her.

Kai Uesugi coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "I did that for your own good, because I was afraid you'd catch a cold."

"If you want to see it, then see it! Don't be dishonest."

Well, Uesugi Kai discovered that in certain aspects, Kuro Hanabi really wanted to show herself off to him, and for this reason, she did some things that Hanabi would never normally do.

Sigh... I wonder what Hanabi is really thinking deep down.

Uesugi Kai stood up, supporting himself on his knees. He was genuinely worried: "Be careful of the wind, don't let anyone see us."

"Don't worry, Hanabi knows her limits. Anyway, that's a place that can only be seen by Kai-kun."

“…” Uesugi Kai was speechless.

Perhaps this is part of her possessiveness?

Hanabi Hanabi smiled at him with her hands behind her back: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Kai-kun, don't you want to build a snowman with Hanabi? Ai and the others are almost finished."

"Are you not angry anymore?"

Hanabi Hanamaru maintained her smile and slowly stated, "It was because I was angry that I made Kai-kun help me build one."
