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

"What type?" Hanamaru Yuuki seemed to think for a moment, then turned her head and said, "I like the brother-in-law type."

"...Don't joke around."

"I'm not kidding. Isn't my brother-in-law an outstanding man? He's handsome, academically excellent, and responsible. He's great in every aspect, in every way."

Kai Uesugi felt that Hanabi-chan had told her everything.

Is the relationship between sisters and best friends really that terrifying?

Hanamaru Yuuki smiled at him and said, "If I were to look for a boyfriend based on my brother-in-law's template, I believe my mom wouldn't say anything even if she found out."

Chapter 522 Hanamaru Hazuki. Hanabi, can you come home with me today?

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

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Uesugi Kai secretly approached Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Kai-kun, what do you think of this cabbage?" Hanabi Hanamaru held up a cabbage and waved it at him, her face full of a cute smile.

"Um...it's alright."

Kai Uesugi could only reply with, "Fireworks..."

"What?" Hanabi Hanabi put the cabbage into the hand basket.

"Don't you think Yuki has changed a lot?"

“Yuki-chan,” Hanabi thought for a moment while picking out vegetables, “she’s a good person.”

Uesugi Kai felt she was being a bit casual, so he coughed twice, straightened his posture, and said seriously:

"What if I told her that she just told me in the car that she likes guys like me?"

The cauliflower in Hanabi's hand fell to the ground, her hand frozen in mid-air.

"Hanabi..."

Hanabi lowered her head and murmured to him, "Kai-kun can only belong to Hanabi, and I can't even share him with my sister... But Hanabi hasn't forgiven Kai-kun yet... and I can't stay with Kai-kun... but I have to stay with Kai-kun now."

Is the brain burned out?

"Hanabi...Hanabi?" Uesugi Kai called out twice more before Hanamaru Hanabi returned to normal.

She pouted at him, a little annoyed, and said, "You're not allowed to have any close contact with Yuuki!"

"Of course I know that." Uesugi Kai thought it was really cute to see her thinking about him.

"I think she's entering puberty and wants to find a boyfriend to try dating."

"Impossible, Auntie will never agree to Yuuki dating."

"What? Is she raised by a very strict family?"

“Otherwise, Kai-kun would think she would have gone to study in England at the age of 15. She went abroad even earlier than Hanabi.” Hanabi then put the cauliflower she had just eaten into her hand basket.

"The Hanamaru family is a very traditional family that values ​​family reputation highly. Therefore, the children in the family must have good grades. Kai-kun, don't be fooled by your uncle's current life of drinking and partying. He is actually a graduate student from the University of Tokyo, a civil servant, and a police inspector at a young age. He has solved many cases."

What about the fireworks?

"Didn't Hanabi tell Kai-kun that Dad had a falling out with the family for a while because he was going to marry Mom, so Grandpa couldn't really control Dad... Otherwise, why would Dad side with Kai-kun that time instead of letting Hanabi help Uncle for the sake of the family?"

"I know that."

Kai Uesugi knew that his father-in-law had actually endured a lot of pressure from the family to be able to marry Hanabi so early; otherwise... Masanobu Hanamaru wouldn't have been there to congratulate him and Hanabi on their marriage.

"So!" Hanabi Hanabi looked at him, "If Kai-kun dares to abandon Hanabi, the consequences will be very, very serious."

While making threatening remarks and pouting, what they were actually expressing was concern.

Kai Uesugi didn't know why she seemed so cute.

"Yuki wants to find a boyfriend, and Kai-kun can secretly help her, but absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no physical contact is allowed!"

After Hanabi Hanabi finished speaking, she turned her face back and lowered her head.

"Because Hanabi can't find anyone else to entrust her life to except Kai-kun, and Hanabi has already given herself entirely to Kai-kun. If she is abandoned, she will have nothing left."

As Hanabi Hanamaru was saying these words, Uesugi Kai suddenly grabbed her hand, and the girl looked in the direction of his hand.

"What are you talking about..." Uesugi Kai smiled. "I know. Hanabi gave me everything. Her love may be small and not very passionate, but it is incredibly sincere and thoughtful. Only when she is gone can I notice her shadow everywhere in my life. In other words, Hanabi feels that she can't live without Kai-kun, but isn't Kai-kun just as inseparable from Hanabi?"

"Cheer up, okay?"

"But if Hanabi said this in a happier way, would Kai-kun not care? Because it seems that Hanabi only makes people feel sorry for her when she is sad."

Hanabi Hanabi's eyes were looking at him; the person she was referring to was him.

This time, it was Sugikai's turn to be speechless:

"I'm sorry... Little Firework, I shouldn't have ignored you for so long."

"So, Hanabi hasn't completely forgiven Kai-kun yet... Christmas is coming soon, and the New Year is coming soon too. Kai-kun, we've been through another year."

"I will try my best to earn your forgiveness."

Hanabi Hanamaru laughed, just as he had said, and said happily, "Then please do your best, Kai-kun, and let Hanabi experience what it's like to be pursued."

"Sister, have you bought your groceries yet?" Hanamaru Yuuki came out from behind the back shelf and asked the two people in the vegetable section.

"Hmm, that's about it." Hanabi Hanamaru turned around and said with a very normal smile.

The group, together with Hanamaru Yuzuki who had helped them choose daily necessities, left the supermarket.

Hanamaru Yuuki: "Yuuki, why do you need to buy so many daily necessities?"

"Because I need to use it, and I'm too lazy to check if I've missed anything, plus I don't have much at home."

"alright."

The group walked together to the open-air parking lot near the supermarket.

To his surprise, Kai Uesugi discovered a woman with long, flowing hair standing next to his uncle's Honda sedan.

As he got closer, Uesugi Kai recognized her at a glance: Hanamaru Yuuki's mother, Hanabi's aunt, and her father-in-law's sister, Hanamaru Hazuki.

"You all go ahead, I won't go."

"What's wrong?" Hanamaru Yuuki asked her uncle.

"No reason, haha, I suddenly had something come up, something came up, you know?"

Hanamaru Yuuki, who looks like a playboy but is actually very steady in his actions, now has an expression that suggests he wants to escape.

"Oh, right! I have one more thing I couldn't find at the supermarket, I'll go back now!"

"stop."

Just as Hanamaru Yuzuki turned to leave, Hanamaru Hazuki walked over.

"mom..."

"aunt..."

Hanamaru Yuuki and Hanamaru Hanabi each shouted out.

Hanamaru Hazuki came to Yuuki's side and looked at Hanamaru Yuuki's somewhat dejected back. "After all these years, are you still avoiding me?"

"..."

Apart from Kai Uesugi, no one present knew about the relationship between the two.

"Yes...it's been so many years...you've changed too...sister."

Hanamaru Yuzuki clearly had no intention of lingering, and went straight back the way she came to the supermarket.

"Hey, why did Uncle leave?" Hanamaru Yuuki was puzzled.

"Your uncle..." Hanamaru Hazuki looked at her daughter, hesitating to speak, "Sigh, let's not talk about these things."

"Hanabi-chan and Kozai, would you like to come over to my house and keep Yuuki company for a while?"

Kai Uesugi knew that his aunt was a very gentle person, so he politely declined, saying, "No need, Hanabi-chan has already bought the groceries."

"I see. I'll have to go back and cook something," Hanamaru Hazuki smiled. Even after having two children, the years had hardly left their mark on her face. "It seems that Hanabi-chan marrying you isn't so bad."

The Hanamaru family members all seem to be very handsome; the men are dashing, and the women are all exceptionally beautiful.

"A wealthy family," Uesugi Kai inexplicably thought of this word to describe the Hanamaru family.

"Well then, I'll take Yuki home first. Excuse me."

"It's alright, Aunt, you go ahead with your work," Uesugi Kai replied.

"Goodbye, sister. I'll come visit you in a couple of days. I don't have anything to do these days anyway."

"Okay." Hanabi Hanamaru nodded.

Watching the mother and daughter get into the car and drive away at the end of the street, Uesugi Kai turned his attention back to Hanabi Hanamaru.

"Uncle, why are you avoiding Aunt?"

"Hanabi, you didn't know about this, did you?" Uesugi Kai asked her to confirm.

"I don't know." Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head.

"I...sigh, I don't know if I should tell you this, but from our perspective it's wrong, but from the perspective of people at the time...how could we possibly explain such a thing?"

"What are you saying, Kai-kun?"

"Never mind, I'd better not say anything. Let's go back and find Uncle."

"Okay, he should go back to the supermarket."

Kai Uesugi took Hanabi Hanabi back to the supermarket they had just visited. They browsed through all the different sections and finally found her uncle, Yuzuki Hanabi, in the kitchenware section, which had the fewest people.

"Why did you come back to find me?" Hanamaru Yuzuki's voice was full of disappointment and despair.

He seemed to genuinely have something he hadn't bought, as he was holding a soup spoon in his hand.

Kai Uesugi: "Hanabi is a little worried about you."

"Really?" Hanamaru Yuzuki looked at her little niece's pretty face and smiled. She originally wanted to pat her head like she used to, but suddenly realized that she had grown up.

Everything is changing...

Hanamaru Yuzuki couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Uesugi Kai and smiled, saying, "I wonder if you ever feel this way, Kai? I really want to go back to the past. Sometimes when people get lost in memories... it really makes them feel depressed. I've said I'll face each day with sunshine, but when I see my sister... I still can't help but want to go back to the past."
