In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 233 What is Hanabi's dream?
The surface of Jiuqu Lake is as quiet as a blue mirror, and when the breeze is rippling, it will sparkle under the sun.

Uesugi Oi sat on the green lawn by the bank, with the trees above his head, looking at a group of white swans wandering on the lake.

The scenery is good, but it is located in London, England, and it is still too far away from Tokyo.

It's not that he loves Tokyo so much, but that his parents are there, maybe he's used to it.

"Fireworks."

The girl sitting by the lake sketching turned to look at him.

"If I didn't come here, would you have been studying here?"

"Yes," Hanamaru Hanabi replied, "but I will definitely go back and have a look during the summer vacation."

Kai Uesugi felt that the influence of the previous incident on her had subsided, at least now she was not as sensitive as before.

"Actually, I really want to come to England to study with you."

Hanamaru Hanabi used a paintbrush to outline the surface of the lake but shook her head, "Kai-kun has done enough for Hanabi."

"Not enough in my opinion."

Hanamaru Yuki, who was sketching next to the firework, secretly glanced at the two chatting. She has always been very interested in the conversation between lovers.

But these two people seemed to be talking about something not sweet, and there was no smile on their faces.

Why, since it's Saturday, shouldn't couples enjoy life?

Hanamaru Yuki didn't understand this brother-in-law. He had already come to London to chase his sister, but he still didn't look very happy.

----------

On September 29th, there are 93 days to the end of the year, and 11 days to Hanabi's birthday.

"Well—today's coffee is a bit bitter." Mr. Bryce said, taking a sip of the coffee brewed by Kai Uesugi. His fat, chubby British short-haired blue cat was resting on the bar.

It's a bit like a lucky cat.

"Is it a baking problem?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"No, it's not," Mr. Bryce put down his cup and replied, "Although many people disagree, I think the human heart has a great influence on coffee."

"I want to ask you why you came to London?"

"Mr. Bryce knows about it and wants to find his fiancée."

Bryce smiled, "Of course love is commendable! But I don't think you and Ms. Huahuo have any taste of love recently."

"is it?"

"Of course!" Bryce picked up the blue cat on the bar again, "you know that love can make the other party smile, but even Miss Huahuo comes here for a cup of coffee every day after class, you seldom smile at her .”

Kai Uesugi followed Mr. Bryce's words and recalled the situation in the past few weeks.

Indeed, he hardly ever smiled at her in the coffee shop.

Just fill her with extra milk when she orders her coffee, a little more of what she likes.

"Mr. Bryce, what do you think love is?" Uesugi remembered his mother-in-law's question.

"Life and Romance!"

Uesugi Kai, who was wearing a small Western-style dress, looked at him, expecting him to continue talking.

Bryce stroked the head of the lucky cat in the soho coffee shop:
"But life is not romantic.

"It has a lot of ailments, a lot of troubles, and someone in your country said - 'ugliness is life itself'.

"It is because of dissatisfaction with life that one pursues romance, one seeks comfort, and one seeks beauty precisely because of the ugliness behind one's back.

"But romance always comes back to life, to peace.

"Just like the coffee shop opened by Anna, she originally loved coffee for ideals, but because of her husband's disabled legs, she had to love money."

Bryce glanced back at this idyllic Soho coffee shop.

"I am forced to use the money I earn from the coffee shop to take care of my husband with disabled legs. I will never leave her. This is the cruelty of life, but it is strange, it is a very romantic thing in itself."

Kaoru Uesugi didn't know that Anna's proprietress had such an experience, he just thought she was an Englishman who liked money very much.

"Mr. Bryce means to seek romance in life? Is this love?"

"No, no, no," Bryce smiled and shook his head while hugging the cat, "Persisting on life is romance and love."

Mr. Bryce soon went for a walk with his small dried fish.

Until the evening, when Uesugi Kai received customers and made coffee, he was thinking about his life with her.

Just a pair of very simple little lovers.

Thinking of her shy, pulsating look when feeding her food, I couldn't help but smile from my heart.

She watched herself eating in the cafeteria, worrying about whether the bento she made would suit her taste, which was also heart-warming.

Perhaps, a sweet smile is what is really needed between the two of them now.

Jingle~
doorbell.

The two girls with painting tubes opened the door and walked in.

"Uesugi, a cup of Irish coffee." Hanamaru Yuki immediately trotted in front of him, put his hands on the bar and smiled at him.

Hanamaru Hanabi closed the door gently, and walked slowly, her lightly gathered hair fell on her shoulders, gentle and graceful.

"Children can't drink alcohol." Uesugi Kai smiled at her, and then asked Hanamaru Hanabi with a more beautiful smile, "Is Hanabi also a latte today?"

Maybe it's because of Charm 8, maybe it's because of his looks, or maybe it's because she likes him.

The girl who was originally in a calm mood, under the gaze of his smiling face, responded in a daze:
"Um"

And Hanamaru Yuki, as a girl who is very obsessed with shoujo manga, instantly smelled the smell, and didn't bother, just quietly watching the two of them flirting.

See how long the two of them can look at each other.

A customer in a coffee shop finishes a cup of coffee and a macaron.

Hanamaru Yuki estimated that it would take five or six minutes.

She knew that her sister liked this brother-in-law very much. When she was in the studio, she had been holding her mobile phone to look at his photos.

One thing is certain is that my brother-in-law is really handsome, like the protagonist of a girl comic.

He has a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and I heard that his grades are also very good, and he can also make coffee!
It's a pity that he is not very good at coaxing people, and he can't say things that make girls sweet.

Hanamaru Yuki put her right hand to her mouth and coughed twice: "Ahem! I want a cup of Irish coffee."

"."

"."

Uesugi Kai turned his head slowly: "No, children can't drink."

------------

It is night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

But for London's White City district, the lights are bright.

An orange cat stood on the roof of a villa built in British style with light steps.

Below is the fountain square that runs through three streets, and the saxophone performers who come every night are still intoxicated in the wonderful music they weave.

There is an upside-down black top hat in front of him, with a layer of pounds and pence inside.

The orange cat jumped down from the eaves of the villa. His soft body allowed him to come and go freely in the city streets on this moonlit night.

The appearance of Uesugi Cat is not without reason, he wants to sleep with Hanabi.

Of course, in the capacity of Kai.

Hanabi and Yuki live in a house across the street, very close to the Soho coffee shop.

Uesugi cat climbed up the eaves, circled the house half a circle, and stepped into the small window of Hanabi's room.

The moon hid in the clouds, and even though there were city lights shining behind Uesugi Cat, the light in the girl's room was still dim.

The cat's nose is very good, at least the Uesugi cat can smell the ginger soup.

Ginger soup is the method he told her. Although Hanamaru Hanabi would not dare to say it because of shyness every time, Uesugi knew that it should be useful for her.

Uesugi Cat shook the cat's head, glanced at the sleeping girl lying on the bed, and knew that she was on her period.

Among other things, Kaoru Uesugi knew that her stomach would hurt when she was on her period, but she basically wouldn't say it.

On the one hand, it is shy, on the other hand, it is embarrassing.

What's so embarrassing, isn't it the first time you have your period, and you are so scared that you come to find yourself crying?

The weather in London is relatively cold.

The girl wrapped herself tightly with a quilt, at least Uesugi Cat took a lot of effort to get in.

It's warm inside and filled with the faint sweet scent of lilies.

Uesugi Cat opened the girl's thin pink pajamas with his head, and used a meat pad against the smooth belly.

The soft and elastic feeling is fed back to the paws, allowing Uesugi cat to feel the touch of the girl's skin, and at the same time feel that it is getting fatter
Kai Uesugi felt that she had eaten too much recently.

British food is inherently sweet, and everything is sweet.

Cream, butter, granulated sugar, jam. Those are the old regulars.

Not to mention anything high in carbohydrates like toast, french fries, and fried potatoes.

The chili in the UK is not spicy at all, and I don't like fireworks at all.

As compensation, she can only eat more sweets and milk to satisfy the happiness in her little head.

However, the fact in exchange for this is that there is a little more meat on the stomach.

Uesugi Cat took the initiative to change back to Uesugi Oi.

He lifted the quilt and took the initiative to lie down in the girl's bed.

Let her body close to his, and began to exude softness and warmth.

Uesugi Kai pulled her slender arms so that she could hug him, and better be able to cover them together under the same quilt.

This temperature, this feeling, this delicate, this sweet.

The feeling of hugging a soft girl to sleep is not comparable to that of the big shark in Tokyo a few days ago.

Kai Uesugi got very close, and even put his nose close to the girl's neck to inhale carefully.

What fills the nasal cavity and secretes dopamine through the brain is the sweet and waxy breath of Xiaohuahuo.

And she was still asleep, defenseless against his breath.

She even hugged his back tighter with her little hands.

Uesugi Kai hugged her, his right hand flowed across the waistline, and the touch of pink and tender skin escaped from the palm.

"Kai Kai-kun?" Hanamaru Hanabi, who was being hugged, woke up at some point, and saw the closed door through the little moonlight shining into the window behind the clouds.

"Kai, Kai-kun why are you here...?"

"Not welcome?"

"No, no," the shy girl replied, maybe it was a habit she had developed since she was a child, and she liked the feeling of him hugging her very much.

"In that case, sleep in peace."

"But how did Kai-kun get in here?"

"window."

"A window?"

Huahuo is on the second floor, and there is a balcony for afternoon tea outside. If the doors and windows are not locked, it is really possible to sneak in.

"Yes," Kai Uesugi said lying in the girl's bed, "so remember to close the windows at night."

Hanamaru Hanabi was a little embarrassed to look at the face of the person next to her pillow.

"It's fine if Kai-kun wants to live with Hanabi."

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by your sister?"

"Yuki, she probably won't say anything."

Uesugi: "It's okay, it's good to stay together occasionally like this. Maybe the distance creates beauty. During the time when you were not around, I often looked at the ceiling and missed you when I was sleeping alone."

"Huahuo usually sends messages to Kai-kun, so it didn't disturb Kai-kun?"

"No," Uesugi Kai said with a smile, "I miss Hanabi who used to send me messages every few minutes."

"Wouldn't it be annoying? Huahuo really wants to talk to Kai-kun, because I'm always very uneasy. But I'm afraid of disturbing Kai-kun."

"So you seldom sent me frequent messages later?" Kai Uesugi took her words.

"Um"

"Every message is a manifestation of Huahuo's love. I will laugh when I see you asking me where I am."

Hanamaru Hanabi buried her head in his arms, listening to his heartbeat:

"But Hanabi has recently felt that Kai-kun is a little alienated from Hanabi. Did Hanabi do something wrong? If Kai-kun says it, she will definitely correct it."

"No, I was just thinking about something,"

Uesugi embraced her small head buried in his chest and said, "I didn't know how to face you until I thought about it. After all, I was extremely selfish who asked you to come and suddenly asked you to go back."

Hanamaru Hanabi left his chest and sat on the bed.

The girl's pink suspenders slipped off her fragrant shoulders, outlined by the moonlight outside the window, with graceful and supple lines.

"Hanabi?" Uesugi Kai looked at her small face, the light was dim, but her well-defined collarbone could still be seen clearly.

"In the eyes of Hanabi, Kai-kun is more important than Hanabi herself"

Kai Uesugi propped up his upper body with his hands, "It's not necessary, and don't say that Kai-kun is more important than you, it's better for Hanabi to be Hanabi herself."

Hanamaru Hanabi said: "Hanabi knows, and also understands Kai-kun's meaning, but in Hanahu's eyes, that's how it is. Kai-kun is a very, very, very important person."

The cold moonlight spoke softly, shining like silver powder on the girl's side.

Kai Uesugi didn't know how to describe this feeling, but it seemed that the girl's body had a layer of beautiful light attracting him.

Let him speak out subconsciously:

"What is Hanabi's dream?"

Hanamaru Hanabi smiled slightly and said: "Before the age of three, Hanabi did not meet a dream, nor did she know what a dream was."

"After the age of three, Huahuo met her dream, but she didn't understand what the dream was."

"However, after leaving Brother Kai, in the park three months later, Huahuo has already handed over the dream that he has worked hard for a long time to Brother Kai."

"That poor, poor painting is Huahuo's most anticipated dream."
