In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 207 Field Fireworks and Stream

In the fields, wheat valleys, and on the ridges of rice paddies outside the town, there is a graceful and unrestrained figure running.

On this narrow field path, the footprints he stepped on are shining brightly, like dewdrops on the green grass in the morning, with an unconcealable light under the first ray of morning sun.

The wind blowing in front of him stirred his hair, and his heart throbbed even more under the strong shortness of breath.

The wires stretching into the town gradually enlarged under his light running.

It is bordered by the inland sea and backed by Sakura Hill. The wind blows from the sea in the morning, bringing a salty and humid atmosphere, and blows back from the top of the mountain at noon, bringing a touch of coolness in the sweltering heat.

Aunt Eguchi, who squinted her eyes for a long time, finally saw clearly who was running early in the morning, standing outside the cornfield with her hands on her hips:
"Yo, isn't this Ah Kai?"

"Aunt Eguchi." Kao Uesugi, whose forehead was dripping with sweat, stopped and looked into the cornfield.

"How is it? Did you get into the university in Tokyo?" Aunt Eguchi smiled at him.

"This is only the second year of high school, and I will take the exam next year."

"I'm only a sophomore in high school, oh, I forgot, you and Takuya are the same age."

Aunt Eguchi complained and said: "Okay is still a good boy. Our family's Takuya knows how to mess with his Matsuyama club in a day. He doesn't study in Matsuyama high school and doesn't work properly."

Eguchi Takuya is the son of the aunt.

This name was chosen in the hope that he would look as handsome and famous as Kimura Takuya.

As for the status quo, it is quite the opposite.

In the second day of junior high school, Takuya Eguchi fell in love with motorcycles. He tied the nose of an airplane and drove an extremely explosive and exaggerated motorcycle to blow up the streets in Matsuyama City every day.

He is still the captain of some secret service team of the Songshan Society.

Because she was always called to the police station, Aunt Eguchi, who was farming at home, was heartbroken for this unfulfilling son.

In this day and age, bosozoku are no longer seen in the center of Tokyo, but they still exist in more remote villages and towns in Japan.

Most of them are done by middle school and high school students, and it can be regarded as an alternative secondary disease.

The term "Secondary Two" actually refers to the second graders in junior high school, because they always have unrealistic fantasies at this age.

There are good and bad.

Kaoru Uesugi patiently listened to the series of grumbles and complaints from the aunt.

"Ah, are you married?" Aunt Eguchi suddenly saw the diamond ring on his ring finger and said in surprise.

The diamond was bigger than any she had ever seen in the city.

Kai Uesugi raised his hand and took a look, "Engaged, not married yet."

"The engagement is almost here! Which girl?"

Aunt Eguchi always thought that Kai Uesugi had a future since he was a child, and he was very handsome, "Is he the daughter of a big chaebol? Originally, I planned to let Yui marry you."

Yui is Takuya's younger sister, both belong to the Eguchi family.

I have to say that Aunt Eguchi likes to give her children star names.

And Eguchi Yui is a very rough girl, and his elder brother is the second most afraid of her.

Very motivated, but has a bad external personality.

"You've seen the girl I'm engaged to, Auntie," Uesugi Kai said with a gentle smile, "Miss Eguchi will find someone suitable too."

"Ham, people who have been to Tokyo talk in a very polite way, what are you talking about?" Aunt Eguchi smiled generously, "But who is that girl talking about?"

"Hanamaru Hanabi." Uesugi Kai said with a smile.

"Oh~~ I remembered! That girl is also very well-behaved. She even gave me chili peppers before. The couple who grew up together are really enviable."

Kaoru Uesugi smiled back.

After chatting with Aunt Eguchi who looked curious, he ran back to Uesugi's house.

After taking off his shoes at the entrance and stepping over the veranda, Kai Uesugi pushed the door open.

inside the house.

Hanamaru Hanabi has already woken up, and her snow-white slender legs protruding from under the bloomers are stretching on the bedding.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl with her arms raised turned to look at him: "Did Mr. Zhao go for a morning run again?"

"Well, running in the morning exercises self-discipline."

Uesugi Kai glanced at her white and waxy little feet, sat beside her, pointed to her straight legs and asked, "What are you doing?"

"lose weight."

Hanamaru Hanabi's voice is waxy and sweet, and her face is flushed after exercise.

"Kai-kun, take off your clothes first."

Kai Uesugi was only wearing short-sleeved sports, and he was in a hot state after running, "What do Hanabi want to do? Do you want to touch Kai-kun's abdominal muscles?"

When Hanamaru Hanabi heard the word "abdominal muscles", she became shy: "Hanabi just wanted to help Kai-kun with washing clothes, and I have saved a lot in the past two days."

"Besides, Kai-kun doesn't have abdominal muscles either."

"No abs?" Uesugi Kai showed his signature smile.

The shy girl has a much stronger girlish fragrance.

"Mr. Zhao Zhao?"

Hanamaru Hanabi was a little scared to see his face that kept getting closer, her little feet kicked forward and kept pushing back.

But Kai Uesugi's face was getting closer and closer, and the tip of his nose was almost touching the girl's face.

A thud.

Suddenly, Xiao Huahuo stopped and pressed her back against the dark brown wardrobe.

"Mr. Zhao, you have abdominal muscles, do you want to touch them?"

Kaoru Uesugi put his hand against the cabinet next to her ear, and there was a hint of coolness in his palm.

Hanamaru Hanabi shrank timidly under his wall like a newborn deer.

"Yes, can you?"

"of course can."

Kaoru Uesugi held her slender and white wrist, letting her cold little hand touch his stomach.

"How? Is there any?"

Girls are always curious, Uesugi Kai could feel her scratching his belly.

With a blushing face, Hanamaru Hanabi carefully said: "Only, just a little. A little hard. No, no—"

Uesugi Kai, who had been seen through, smiled, stared at the girl's flashing purple eyes, and directly leaned his face towards her, kissing her soft and lovely lips.

"Ooh-"

The shy and nimble girl's body, which was somewhat resistant at first, instantly went limp.

The long and heavy taste brings the touch of youth.

Uesugi Kai held her little hand on his chest, pushed aside the shy gap, and interlocked his fingers.

"Good morning kiss." Uesugi Kai smiled, "Don't you hate it?"

Hanamaru Hanabi glanced at his face that made the girl's heart flutter, then lowered her head and made a small voice in embarrassment, "If you don't hate it, as long as it's Kai-kun, you don't hate it."

In the early morning, You Yun was still shaking leisurely in the sky.

The girl was wearing a suspender pajamas at home, and the thin pink color was under the collarbone with clear lines, covering the hillock that had grown a lot.

The little girl who used to always follow behind her has indeed grown up.

Uesugi Kai hugged her, and put his hand on Hanamaru Hanabi's soft belly, the texture of his fingertips felt her smooth skin, and climbed up her back along the graceful curve of her waist.

All tactile sensations tell the girl's shyness and petiteness.

"Is Huahuo losing weight recently?"

"Um"

"Actually, it's okay to eat more."

"But that." Hanamaru Hanabi closed her eyes with a flushed face, leaned her shy neck on his shoulder, "it's not good-looking."

"A fat and soft belly is also very comfortable."

Uesugi Kai's hand circled forward from the girl's soft and flat back, and retracted along her slender arms.

"OK?"

"Okay." Hanamaru Hanabi's face was flushed like a fever, and she could already feel his closed hands.

As soon as she finished speaking, the extremely ashamed girl panicked again, and quickly said: "As expected, Mr. Kai is still sleeping when Hanabi is asleep."

"Too shy?"

"Um"

"Then why is Hanabi always so shy?"

"No, no, at least, at least now Hanabi wants to prepare."

"Then it's settled," Uesugi Kai said slowly, "tonight."

Because of his hand, Hanamaru Hanabi, who was about to short-circuit his head with embarrassment, agreed shallowly.

"it is good"

---------

At lunch time, the Uesugi family gathered for lunch.

"Is there a firework festival in Matsuyama City in August?" Mrs. Hanamaru put a fat and sweet orange petal into her mouth with a slight smile.

The old lady Uesugi rolled up her kimono sleeves and poured a bowl of tea, "As I remember, last year was August [-]th."

"It's always August [-]th, unless it's rained and postponed, and it's at Mitsu Pier." Aunt Uesugi Yunko said while eating, she was not interested in those old-fashioned manners.

Mrs. Hanamaru suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that this year's firework festival over the Sumida River has been cancelled."

The Sumida River is in Tokyo, and the firework festival there is also a very popular place in Tokyo.

Both families participated there in previous years.

"Why?" Aunt Uesugi Yoko asked curiously, picking up a chopstick of vegetables.

"The problem of potential safety hazards," said Uesugi Noriko, who has an impression of this incident, "Last year, a box of fireworks was not adjusted properly, and it exploded on the spot and then exploded into the crowd, injuring many people."

The old lady Uesugi shook her head when she heard the words, "Young people nowadays are really negligent, and the quality of things they do is also declining year by year."

Uesugi Yoko: "It's better for us country people to grow oranges. Speaking of which, the agricultural cooperatives are really annoying. There are shadows of them everywhere oranges are bought."

"Where are Aoi and Hanabi?" Old lady Uesugi asked unhurriedly, "I haven't come over for dinner for so long, are you taking a nap?"

"It should be washing clothes together at the riverside." Mrs. Hanamaru said, "Hanabi said that she would go to the river to wash clothes."

"Washing clothes." The old lady Uesugi smiled, "Being able to wash clothes together is also proof of a good relationship. If Jiro cheers up, then the old man and I can rest assured."

When Uesugi heard the old lady talking about her father, she didn't make any other movements and continued to eat.

the other side,
The brook is gurgling, and the stream flowing from Sakura Hill converges into a river in this artificial frame.

Kaoru Uesugi caresses the water of the stream, and the coolness in summer is transmitted from the fingertips to the brain, bringing coolness to calm the hot and dry air.

Hanamaru Hanabi was on the side washing the clothes that the two of them had changed in the past few days.

Not in a hurry, but extremely serious.

Kai Uesugi looked at her serious face for a long time, it was familiar, cute and delicate.

Why did I become less lazy, start running in the morning, and start working hard in various events?
He thought, it was probably because of the girl in front of him who had been by his side all the time.

"Hanabi," he yelled.

"Ah."

"I feel like I'm not good enough for you sometimes," he said with a smile.

Hanamaru Hanabi stopped rubbing her clothes with her small hands, staring at the white foam drifting away with the stream in front of her.

The weak voice was very low: "It's because Hanabi is not good enough for Mr. Kai."

Kai Uesugi looks up at the blue sky, and the sky of the seaside town has a deeper blue:
"Do you know why I want to go to the University of Tokyo?"

"Because I'm lazy, I'm too lazy, I don't want to be too lazy, and I don't want to be too negative about this life."

Hanamaru Hanabi listened carefully to his words, but the more he said that, the girl became less confident:

"Kai-kun is obviously a very talented person, Hanabi, and Hanabi feels that he has always been mediocre"

"Then your little inferiority complex is at work."

Kai Uesugi turned his head and smiled at the girl who was doing laundry by the stream, "Believe me, there is no other girl as beautiful as you."

Hanamaru Hanabi felt the coldness of the stream with her small hand, and spoke in a low tone: "But... Hanabi is so dull, before... everyone didn't like Hanabi."

The girl said the words "everyone" and "dislike" very quietly.

She thought of those most terrible bad words.

"Small shortcomings, I know it." Uesugi Kai said, "But that's because everyone can only see your silence, but not your hard work in silence."

"But someone has been watching your hard work and tenacity."

Hanamaru Hanabi recalled some bad words, looked up at him sideways.

Uesugi Kai just smiled and didn't continue talking to her.

The flakes under the afternoon sun had fluctuated and flickered countless times, and Hanamaru Hanabi washed the clothes in her hands again after a long time.

Kaoru Uesugi stretched out his hand, looking towards the blue sea and sky, the slanting halo shone with the brilliance of the ring.

"I know that I have a lot of shortcomings, and maybe some of them cannot be corrected, and maybe some people will hate my shortcomings very much.

"But I think he has a girl who can tolerate all his shortcomings, a girl who is willing to wash and cook for him, and a girl who is willing to accompany him all his life."

"Then he is the luckiest person in the world."

Hanamaru Hanabi patiently washed the clothes in her hands, and silently wrote down every single word he said in her pitiful heart.

"He is willing to protect her with his precious life, Hanabi." Kai Uesugi said this very seriously.

Hanamaru Hanabi buried her head a little lower, not wanting him to see her rosy eye sockets, so she made a weak voice intermittently:

"Thank you, Mr. Kai"

"So we don't have to talk about whether we deserve it or not. The relationship between us has already paid for each other as early as 12 years."

"Huahuo should never be unconfident in front of him, because he never wants to be like this, he just wants to see a beautiful and charming girl in front of him, letting go of all troubles."

By the stream where they spent together when they were young, Hanamaru Hanabi's soft short hair and two bundles of hair are swaying with the summer wind.

Uesugi Kai turned his head away, stared at her small head whose side face could not be seen clearly, smiled and invited:

"The Fireworks Festival is two days later, would you like to join me this year?"

Time is silent, and Hanamaru Hanabi is also silent with her head lowered.

The summer grass is faint, and the calamus by the stream emits green light.

"No, no."

The weak Hanamaru Hanabi said so.

Kaoru Uesugi was stunned by her small answer.

But before he had time to ask, Hanamaru Hanabi raised his childish face, and the ruddy eye sockets were shining brightly under the sun.

Then, the girl slowly unfolded her romantic smile, which contained green and moving colors:
"Hanabi wants to go to the Fireworks Festival in two days with Kai-kun this year."

"Kai-kun, can you go with Hanabi?"

The answer, of course, is beyond doubt.

"Very happy." Uesugi Kai said with a smile.
