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

He walked through the lobby, took the elevator, turned the corner of the corridor, and arrived at Hanamaru Hanabi's private room.

Kai Uesugi opened the door casually and walked in, carrying the Shark Ball.

He noticed that Hanabi Hanamoto, who was in the hospital bed, seemed to have woken up. Her entire head was covered by the blanket, and only her right hand, which was receiving an IV drip, was placed on the side of the bed.

Kai Uesugi smiled at her, put out the breakfast, and slowly approached her.

With one hand clutching the shark ball he'd just gotten for free, he quietly pulled down the blanket covering her face with the other.

"Checkmate!"

When Hanabi Hanabi came to her senses, the first thing she saw was Sharky's heartwarming smile.

"Shark!"

Perhaps it was hearing Uesugi Kai's voice, or perhaps it was because she liked the shark ball so much, Hanabi Hanamaru's previously gloomy expression immediately became bright and sunny, and she immediately sat up from the bed.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Kai Uesugi sat down on the edge of her bed and smiled at the girl.

"Where did Kai-kun buy it?"

"Hey, wait a minute." Uesugi Kai took the shark ball away with one hand. "You're still on an IV drip, you can't hold it with both hands, or the blood will flow back down the needle."

"Okay." Hanabi's eyes were fixed on the shark ball. Its flower-shaped face, its big, serrated mouth with its jagged teeth, and its ugly-cute appearance won the hearts of many girls.

Seeing how much she wanted to touch it, Uesugi Kai placed the shark ball in front of her.

Without an IV drip in her hand, she could do whatever she wanted with it.

Hanabi Hanamaru happily played with the shark ball for a while, then hugged it to her chest and asked Kai Uesugi, who was opening her lunchbox:

"Kai-kun...why weren't you here just now?"

"I'll get you some food. I saw the hospital breakfast, and it's not very good."

Uesugi Kai scooped a bowl of plum and pork porridge into his hand, and with his other hand pulled a stool over to sit next to Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Kai-kun, is that you?"

"What else?" Uesugi Kai gently scooped a little into a spoon, blew away the steam, and handed it to her, saying, "Here, eat it while it's hot."

The dried plum and pork congee is not very thick, and that's why it's congee, not porridge.

Although in Japanese, there is no distinction between each other.

Hanabi Hanabi stared at him blankly for a moment, then hugged the shark ball in her arm tighter and bit down on the spoon.

The girl's soft, smooth lips enveloped the spoon, and when the spoon reappeared, not a single grain of rice or soup remained.

"Was it good?" Uesugi Kai asked, seeing that she had eaten so cleanly.

"Sweet and sour..."

"After all, it's dried plum with meat, and dried plum is made from green plums."

Kai Uesugi smiled and silently stirred the porridge with a spoon to cool it down, then scooped up another spoonful and gently blew on it.

His heat was actually blowing towards Hanamaru Hanabi, so the girl could also feel the heat of the dried plum meat coming towards her.

"Open your mouth."

"what......"

Hanamaru Hanabi ate another spoonful.

Is it delicious?

"tasty......"

The door to the ward suddenly opened, and a nurse walked in.

She paused for a moment when she saw the two people in the room, then pointed somewhat awkwardly to the nearly empty IV drip and said, "I came to get this."

Kai Uesugi, holding a bowl of porridge, replied, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work."

The young nurse seemed to sense the subtle atmosphere in the ward. She quickly removed the IV needle from Hanabi's body, and while holding the tray in her hand, she said:

"When you're about to leave, you can just come to the front desk to complete the procedures."

Kai Uesugi nodded: "Okay."

The nurse was a little afraid to look him in the eye and hurriedly left.

"Why does she seem a little afraid of me?" Uesugi Kai fed Hanabi another spoonful of porridge into her little mouth.

"It's not that I'm afraid of Kai-kun."

"what is that?"

Hanabi Hanabi stared at his handsome face, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons as she smiled and said, "This is something only girls can understand."

"Tell me about it?"

"It's Kai-kun."

"I?"

"After all, it's rare to find a handsome guy who's also kind-hearted. The lady just now had her eye on Kai-kun, but when she found Hanabi here, she felt embarrassed to stay and wanted to get out of there quickly." Hanamaru Hanabi ate the porridge that he had blown to cool down.

"Isn't it heartwarming?" Uesugi Kai stared at the porridge in his hand, slowly stirring it with a spoon to cool it down.

"Nothing is more heartwarming than being taken care of."

###Chapter 504 The Easiest Girl to Win Over###

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

Hearing Hanabi's heartwarming words, Kai Uesugi felt her heart warm as she gently stirred the plum porridge with a spoon.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he fed her with the spoon again.

"Come on, have some more."

"Um......"

Hanabi Hanabi took a bite of the plum porridge, eating it slowly in small sips, savoring the sweet and sour taste of the meat porridge. Her violet eyes stared at him for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai noticed that she had been staring at him.

As Hanamaru Hanabi was finishing her meal, she slowly leaned over, hugged him tightly around the neck, and quietly closed her eyes.

The warm sun shines into the room, and a gentle breeze caresses the curtains, stirring up the crystal-clear light.

Uesugi Kai held the porridge bowl and spoon in both hands, calmed down, and quietly let her hold him for a while.

Her still-warm face pressed against his skin, delicate and smooth.

"Kai-kun..."

“I’m here,” Uesugi Kai said softly.

"Although... Hanabi has been moved by Kai-kun so many times... Hanabi... really... really... still loves Kai-kun so much..."

Kai Uesugi placed the bowl and spoon he was holding on the bedside table, then gently patted her back: "Are you feeling better than yesterday?"

"Much better than yesterday..."

Hanabi Hanabi hugged him tightly, her long eyelashes glistening with tears, making her both beautiful and pitiful.

"Then why are you crying? You only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge. Food bought outside isn't that delicious, is it?"

"Hanabi... doesn't know either..." Hanabi sobbed.

Kai Uesugi patted her delicate shoulder, comforting her as he said, "When you cry like this, I always think of our wedding. It was such a beautiful time, but you cried until the banquet ended in the afternoon. Your classmates and friends laughed at you when they saw your tearful face."

"That's...because, really...so happy..."

“I feel happy too. Hanabi, you’re the first girl who was willing to cry in my arms,” Uesugi Kai said with a smile. “And the only girl who has ever cried in my arms. You haven’t really changed much from childhood to adulthood; you’ve always loved to cry… but your crying isn’t like a typical child’s loud sobbing. Instead, you purse your lips and slowly hold back your tears… It’s adorable, yet also makes you feel sorry for them…”

Kai Uesugi turned his head to the side, and although it wasn't very clear from the current angle, he could still see her petite back.

"I understand the feeling of holding back tears, so if Hanabi feels sad right now, you can lean on me and slowly cry out all your emotions on me. I will do my best to take care of you."

"棣...棣君..."

Hanabi Hanabi slid her hands down his shoulders, buried her face in his chest, smelled his scent, and gently punched him with her little fists.

"Kai-kun, you're a bad guy... a really bad guy... Why... why does Hanabi like you so much... Even when he feeds Hanabi a couple of spoonfuls of porridge... Hanabi can't help but want to cry..."

Hanabi Hanamaru's tears flowed more and more as she spoke, until eventually her words became indistinct.

One punch after another, the girl's fists were weak and powerless, as if she were just playing around with her own chest. Uesugi Kai listened to her sniffling and sobbing, and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

"Was it because I wasn't there when you woke up this morning that you felt bad?"

"Hmm... I feel so empty inside... It was so cold last night... When Hanabi woke up, she was staring at the unfamiliar ceiling... and she thought of Kai-kun... but... Kai-kun isn't here with Hanabi..."

That's why when I came in, I saw her with the blanket covering her face.

Whether it's Black Flower Firework or Little Flower Firework... all the good things they do stem from the same starting point.

Kai Uesugi felt that Kurohanabi was getting closer and closer to Hanabi.

"Okay, stop crying. If your face is all smeared with tears, no one will love you anymore."

"That's not right...! Kai-kun still likes fireworks."

"What are you saying? I only agreed to marry Hanabi because she's beautiful, a top-tier beauty. I was only after her looks, her beautiful legs and figure."

Hanabi Hanamaru raised her face, and a hint of anger finally appeared on her cute, tear-streaked face.

"Kai-kun is lying again..."

Kai Uesugi smiled quietly: "What if I'm telling the truth?"

"Then kill Kai-kun!"

Are you willing to give it up?

"Right now, Kai-kun is reluctant to part with her, but if Kai-kun dares to go out and find other women, I will definitely beat him to death!"

Hanabi Hanamaru's pouty face revealed a childlike mischief, with a hint of resentment mixed with anger, yet her face looked incredibly cute and pretty, captivating Kai Uesugi.

"Did you hear me?!"
