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

"What are you piling up?" Uesugi Kai replied immediately.

Seeing how energetic he was, Hanabi poked her right cheek with her index finger and said with a smile, "Hanabi wants a one-to-one replica of Kai-kun."

......

Building a snowman can be roughly divided into three steps.

First, push the snowball.

Second, move the snowball.

Third, snowball.

But his wife wanted a snowman that was the same size as him and looked just like him, which was a real challenge.

Kai Uesugi stared blankly at the snowman in front of him, which consisted of only a head that looked like a ball.

Hanabi Hanabi, standing behind him, covered her mouth and bent over, laughing at him incessantly: "Kai-kun has absolutely no artistic talent."

“At least my figure drawing skills are passable,” Uesugi Kai retorted to the person behind him, tilting his head to look at the snowman’s tilted head.

After staring into those empty, lifeless eyes for a moment, the tilted head fell to the ground with a thud.

"..."

Hanabi Hanabi covered her face with her hands and laughed, "Kai-kun really has no artistic talent."

Kaiya Uesugi looked at the unruly snowman head at his feet and laughed, "Maybe Picasso would take me as his apprentice."

"Picasso's sculpture 'Head of a Woman' can sell for $3000 million."

“Money can’t represent the value of a work of art.” Kai Uesugi clapped his hands and brushed the snowflakes off. “If Picasso were still alive, even a single line he drew would be worth millions of dollars.”

Kai Uesugi opened his arms to the headless snowman, saying, "If I were Picasso, believe it or not, the firework would be worth $500 million right now."

"Anyway, Picasso isn't here, so Kai-kun can say whatever he wants."

Hanabi Hanamaru seemed to be laughing too happily and walked towards Kai Uesugi.

Kai Uesugi: "What? You're going to spend 500 million to buy it? If it's fireworks, you don't need to use US dollars, just Japanese yen."

"Come on!" Hanabi held a thin twig to his chest. "Kai-kun doesn't know how to build a snowman, so Hanabi will build one for him. It's just a snowman, it's a very simple thing!"

I don’t recall her studying sculpture, so Kai Uesugi chose to stand aside and wait for her masterpiece.

Watching her movements, he was reminded of his past, when he was a little girl, Hanabi also loved to build snowmen on snowy days.

He remembered it was when he was seven years old. On that day, the sky was filled with heavy snow, and the entire Tokyo was covered by a colorless and transparent sky. Snowflakes filled every place where one could step.

It was a cold day, so he didn't go out but chose to stay home and read.

He would sit there for hours until his mother called him downstairs for dinner, at which point he got up.

Since the desk was right next to the window, his gaze immediately fell on the Hanamaru family next door.

He stopped in his tracks because there was a small, round snowman inside the small, transparent window across the street.

The little snowman, wearing a red scarf, waved and smiled at me.

Amidst the falling white snowflakes.

Kai Uesugi stood there for a while and noticed that, besides the snowman waving at him, there was a clumsy little head under the windowsill that wasn't properly hidden.

Kai Uesugi can't quite remember how he felt back then, but the fact that he still remembers that image of the little snowman is enough to show that the scene left a deep impression on him.

......

Recalling these past events.

As her childhood friend, Kai Uesugi felt an indescribable warmth welling up in his heart as he watched her squatting in front of him carefully building a snowman.

"Alright!" Hanabi Hanamaru held a wooden branch with its head covered in snowflakes. The snowman in front of her was a half-body statue with sharp angles.

"So fast?"

Kai Uesugi peeked out and saw that on the head of the snowman that looked like himself, there was a pig lying down and taking a nap.

He immediately burst out laughing: "Is that Hana-chan herself?"

Hanabi Hanabi was clearly taken aback for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks and said to him, "This is Kai-kun's symbol!"

Why is the symbol a pig?

"Because Kai-kun just said Hanabi is a pig!"

"Pigs are quite cute."

"But you're stupid!"

"Cute and clumsy, doesn't that fit Xiaohuahuo's image perfectly?"

Uesugi Kai thought Hanabi would get angry and hit him with the branch, and he was even prepared to run away.

Unexpectedly, the girl simply took out her phone, snapped a picture of the Uesugi Kai snowman in front of her, and quickly uploaded it to Twitter, captioning it with a single word and an exclamation mark: 【Pig!】

Click send.

Hanabi Hanamaru put down her phone, her little face beaming with happiness: "All done!"

Kai Uesugi chuckled and shook his head.

Your own posts come first.

The update from Hanabi will follow.

It's the same snowy day again, with the same caption.

Even though it's a pig and a pig!

But it's hard not to think that the two are just showing affection among their friends.

Hanabi Hanabi noticed him looking at her, and proudly puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away, letting out a soft hum.

On Mount Hakodate in the snow, a girl wearing a white scarf feigns dislike for him on her delicate, rosy face. Even though she stands several figures away on the snow, Uesugi Kai can still see through the falling snowflakes that she looks at him expectantly, hoping for his response.

She kept smiling at herself.

She smiled sweetly.

Just like how she pretended to be angry for a while, but then couldn't help turning around to ask him why he wasn't saying anything.

Kai Uesugi knew in his heart that she was still the shy little girl who used to build a tiny snowman for him in front of her window.

Suddenly, Uesugi Kai seemed to recall something, and his pupils dimmed as if he were lost in memories.

On the snowman glove that I wore when I was little, facing away from myself, was a small note with a line of neat, childlike handwriting:

Good afternoon, brother.

###Chapter 502 Otaru City###

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

Light snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

On the way down the mountain, Hanabi Hanabi walked ahead with her hands behind her back.

Her skirt swayed slightly above her knee-length black stockings, in what's known as a girl's absolute territory, as she moved back and forth.

Kai Uesugi kept staring at the skin slightly exposed below her skirt, as if afraid a gust of wind might blow in her face.

You have to know that your mother and Ai Yi are also behind you. If you accidentally show even a little bit of them, it will be all over.

"Aren't you cold?" Uesugi Kai took two small steps to her side.

"What are you worried about, Kai-kun?" Hanabi Hanamaru glanced at him, seemingly still angry about what had just happened.

"Concern, genuine concern."

"It is a bit cold, you can clearly feel a cool breeze passing through the middle when you walk." Hanabi Hanamaru held up a finger, lifting her feet a little higher with each sentence.

She suddenly stopped, her feet in black round-toed leather shoes pressed together. Looking up from below, her black stockings accentuated the curves of her shapely legs, a sight so beautiful it was pleasing to the eye.

The round-toed leather shoes worn together give her a graceful and demure look, reminiscent of a young girl.

Hanabi Hanamaru has a pure and lovely face, as beautiful and radiant as a lily.

Any man who sees her will think she is an absolutely beautiful young woman.

Kai Uesugi looked at her like this, at the hem of her short pleated skirt, at the smooth and delicate skin on her thighs, and at the black stockings that clung to her from above her knees to her ankles.

"Kai-kun?" Hanabi Hanamaru smiled and bowed slightly to him.

Sigh... If Uesugi Kai hadn't seen it with his own eyes just now, he wouldn't have believed that there was something under Hanabi's skirt—

"Kai-kun~~" Hanabi Hanabi drawled in front of him, a smile still on her face, "Kai-kun, are you thinking about something?"

"No." Uesugi Kai turned his face away, but his throat still made a noticeable gurgling sound.

"Let Hanabi guess, is Kai-kun thinking about what Hanabi would look like without clothes right now?" Hanabi enunciated each word carefully, as if toying with his heart. "Kai-kun... do you want to see it one more time...?"

To say I don't want to watch it would be a lie.

After all, Xiaohuahuo has a pretty face, a great figure, and her whole body is like a piece of jade, with no part that is not perfect.

But we're outside now, on the mountain.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

"When we get back, Hanabi should ask Kai to get closer and look at her carefully."

Uesugi Kai understood what she was talking about and looked at her ever-smiling face: "Wasn't that enough just now?"

"Do you think that little bit is enough?"

Uesugi Kai: "But, the affection level..."

Hanabi Hanamaru crossed her arms. "The affection level is currently very, very high. It's just that Hanabi wanted to raise it this high, so Kai-kun can touch me as much as he wants with Hanabi's permission. But let's make it clear beforehand, the affection level with the other Hanabi will only be 5 points!"

"Affection levels aren't shared between users?"

"How can these things be shared?"

"Why did you stop?" Mrs. Hanamaru and the others, who had been taking pictures of the scenery along the way, had already approached.

Taking this opportunity, Hanabi quickly went to her mother, took her hand, and looked at Uesugi Kai across from her with a slightly complaining look, saying, "Just now... Kai-kun said Hanabi is a pig."
