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

"Hanabi-chan~~ Hanabi-chan~~"

"Hmm...what..." Hanabi Hanabi called out softly, then turned her head and twisted her body to the other side.

"I want to hold you."

"Hug Hanabi... Hmm... Then Kai-kun, you can hug her."

"Then turn around."

Hanabi Hanabi turned around, closed her eyes, and reached out to hug his neck.

Little Firework is still grumpy when she wakes up, but she's still very cute.

Uesugi Kaiya then reached out and put his arm around Hanabi Hanabi's back, pulling her into his embrace.

Warmth spreads in my arms, as if it were a soft embrace that wrapped around my heart.

Kai Uesugi nuzzled her cheek for a while, earning several lazy "What are you doing, Kai-kun?" from her.

"Hanabi, do you want to sleep now?"

"Hmm... let Hanabi sleep a little longer."

"But now I think..."

Hearing this, Hanabi Hanabi sobered up a bit. She pulled the blanket up with her two small hands, leaving only her pair of purple eyes exposed: "Kai-kun, thinking about these things so early in the morning."

"Is it not allowed?"

"Hanabi wants to sleep..."

"Alright then, I won't bother you anymore."

"Hey..." Hanabi called out to him, "Hanabi... Hanabi didn't say you can't..."

"Then...what you just did...?"

"Hanabi just doesn't want to move, she wants to sleep... Kai-kun wants to do it, so do it yourself... Anyway, Hanabi won't move."

Hanabi Hanamaru's voice grew softer and softer until, in the end, she even buried her head in her hands.

Kai Uesugi looked at the blanket covering her little head and smiled slightly: "Okay."

------

Kai Uesugi refreshed as he zipped up his jacket. After changing his clothes, he turned around and looked at Hanabi Hanabu, who was still lying on the bedroom bed, half asleep.

Her face was very red.

"Aren't you getting up?"

"Kai-kun... How dare you say that? Were you only thinking of yourself just now?"

"No, I'm very considerate of your feelings, Hanabi."

"Anyway, it's Kaikai-kun!"

"Kai-kun... quickly bring Hanabi's clothes over here."

"What should I wear today?" Uesugi Kai asked, already dressed.

"It's from yesterday, but you need to change your clothes inside too. Kai-kun, go out first... and come back in after Hanabi has changed."

Kai Uesugi sat down next to her: "We're an old married couple, can't I just stay in the room and watch you change?"

"Pervert... And what do you mean by 'old married couple'..." Hanabi Hanabi said in shame and indignation, pushing away his face as he approached. "We've only been married for two months... And lately, I feel like I've been giving him too much. This won't do. Starting today..."

"What should we start today?" Uesugi Kai suddenly had a bad feeling.

Hanabi Hanabi held up one finger to him: "You can only have sex once a week."

"..."

"..."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Why, honey?"

"No more acting cute! It's not good to be together all the time. We still have other things to do. Kai-kun and Hanabi went from being lovers to getting married... It seems like such a long time, but it's actually also very short. So, even these bittersweet opportunities... we must cherish them!"

Kai Uesugi remembers that Hanabi-chan said the same thing a while ago.

I really didn't touch her during that period; we only held hands and such.

And then...

later...

It seems that somehow, after I coaxed her a little, she agreed.

Sure enough, girls are inexplicably sensitive about certain things.

"Is Kai-kun listening?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Since you're listening, hurry up and get out of here. You have school and exams today! It's the last day of finals!"

"Wife" Uesugi Kai still wanted to put up a fight.

"go out!"

Unfortunately, he was ruthlessly rejected by Xiaohuahuo.

She puffed out her cheeks and watched as Uesugi Kai closed the door.

Kaiya Uesugi peered through the gradually narrowing crack in the door at her sitting on the large bed.

Only when the door slammed shut with a click did Kai Uesugi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I always felt that secretly watching that timid girl from a corner would give me an indescribable feeling of warmth and happiness.

Watching her puff out her cheeks and get angry at me from not far away, watching her huff and tell me to hurry up and get out.

Thinking about having such a small wife.

After closing the door, Uesugi Kai would unconsciously smile as she thought about the scenes from earlier.

Sigh, is this what it feels like to be in love?

"Brother-in-law, since we don't have to work today, and you and my sister both have to go to school, why don't you take me with you?"

While eating breakfast, Hanamaru Yuuki asked Uesugi Kai.

The living room had the air conditioning on, so Hanamaru Yuuki simply wore short sleeves at Hanamaru's house.

A pair of white arms were exposed, and she was eating breakfast while holding a cup of milk.

"You want to go to school?"

"Hmm," Hanamaru Yuuki nodded, swallowing the fried egg made by Mrs. Hanamaru. "Brother-in-law, I'm so bored. I'm home alone, and all I can do besides watch TV is... you know."

"Which one?" Uesugi Kai asked casually, picking up the milk.

"Self-deception."

"puff--!"

Kai Uesugi almost spat out the milk he was drinking, but thankfully he covered his mouth in time to avoid losing his composure.

He looked up again at Yuuki's face, which could definitely be described as that of a beautiful girl.

"Hehe, brother-in-law isn't taking it seriously again, is he?"

"Are you kidding me again?"

"Half and half."

What does "half and half" mean?

"It just happens sometimes, for a fleeting moment."

“I’m telling you, Yuuki, you’re a girl.”

"What's wrong with girls? Can't girls be a little shy?" Hanamaru Yuuki said with a smile, propping her chin on her hand.

This remark really stung Uesugi Kai.

Upon closer reflection, it does seem to make sense.

"Brother-in-law, are there any handsome guys at Tokyo University of the Arts?"

"There are definitely handsome guys, but they're few, and I don't really interact with them. What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Well, I've mentioned before... I want to find a boyfriend and try dating. I just returned to Tokyo from England, I have no connections, and I don't know anyone else. What else can I do besides asking my brother-in-law for help with this?"

That's true...

He understands Yuuki's desire to be in a relationship.

Love is difficult, really difficult, because it's hard to find a suitable partner.

It sounds easy, but actually, if you find someone you like, you'll likely be able to spend some time together.

He and Hanabi... well, how should I put it?

At first, he just felt sorry for the little girl and wanted to help her.

As a result, she naturally became attached to him from then on.

Since I didn't find her particularly annoying, I naturally started to treat her like a girl next door.

We got married now.

Why is my brother-in-law so good to my sister?

"Because your sister is too good to me... I take her kindness for granted."

Hanamaru Yuuki stirred the milk in front of her with a spoon, propped her right hand up half her face, stared at the cup, sighed and said, "That's why I envy my sister. Why can my sister and brother-in-law be neighbors who have lived next door since childhood, with their windows facing each other, so they can see each other as soon as they get up?"

The more she spoke, the more dejected she became, until finally she reached out and slumped onto the table.

"Ah, Yuuki also wants a childhood friend who's also her older brother."

Kai Uesugi held out a sharp object and tapped her on the head: "You're not, are you? How old are you? Stop thinking about childhood sweethearts."
