In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 251 The Daily Warmth

It was evening, and the cloudy clouds in the morning were drooping down with rain, making the whole of Tokyo deserted.

Uesugi Kai held the guitar in his hand, and he could feel the coldness of the rain washing everything just by looking out the window.

"I practiced alone all afternoon, do you want to try to play together?"

"Rika, I don't think I can do it at all~" Kitagawa Sakaki held the bright spruce violin with her left hand, and behind her was the open musical instrument case.

The black skirt covered the knees of the stockings, and there were two dark red bows on the skirt.

"Didn't you say you didn't have any problems when you first came here?"

"Just now, now is now. The music score is very difficult."

Although Ninety Rika played the piano in elementary school, she has also learned some violin, and she knows that her intonation is actually very good when practicing.

She took her hand off the piano keys and said with a sigh:
"I think you're just trying to be lazy."

Kitagawa Sakaki, who was exposed, had no intention of repenting, and continued: "Hey, I've been practicing all afternoon, so why don't I take a break, right Hanako-chan?"

Hanamaru Hanabi, who was reciting the lyrics, raised her head with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?"

Beichuan Sakaki piled the violin and bow in her hands on top of the musical instrument box at random, ran over to her in small steps, and hugged her: "I said, Hana Huo-chan has worked so hard, now I can take a break."

"It's not that tiring just memorizing the lyrics."

"Everyone must be tired. If you don't believe me, ask Uesugi."

Kai Uesugi: "I am in favor of rest."

"Where's Liying?" She looked at Ayaka Liying behind the drum kit on the other side.

"It's okay to rest, of course, but I still have a problem with this drum. I want to practice for a while."

"Isn't it good to hear you knocking just now?"

Ayaka Riei shook her head: "You guys think I'm playing well, that's because I intentionally distinguish accents from non-accents—my biggest problem is rhythm. For percussionists, rhythm always comes first."

In the campus festival in the third year of high school, in order to perform with Huahuo and the others, she deliberately learned to play drums.

Beichuan Sakakisa: "I always feel that you have changed a lot, Liying."

Ayaka Riei: "Really?"

Jiushi Lixiang came out and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while, and I'll help you prepare some food."

"I--"

"Huahuo, your foot is injured, don't force it, I can go alone."

After finishing speaking, Jiushi Lixiang turned around and walked towards the door, her streamer purple skirt was light and slightly rippling.

Kaoru Uesugi walked to the French window, a thin layer of rain and mist outside danced over the garden, his eyes were dimmed, like life, moving in the pattering raindrops.

Standing here and looking at the outline of the Skytree, there is a feeling of stepping on Tokyo.

Not long after, Jiushi Lixiang came out with melons and fruits, and the drink was special milk coffee.

Kaoru Uesugi knew as soon as he drank it, this should not be her craft.

This kind of mellow and dense feeling cannot be prepared without more than ten years of coffee skills.

While eating and drinking, everyone started chatting again. The girls were all interested in their clothing. They discussed shower gel, perfume, skirts, and collocation.
Uesugi Kai consciously sat on the side, not to interrupt.

After that, everyone familiarized themselves with their own score and studied a little bit.

As dinner was approaching, in order not to disturb Jiushi's house too much, after everyone bid farewell to each other, the driver Hezheng sent them back to their respective apartments near the school.

Kai Uesugi and Hanamaru Hanabi returned home, turned on the hot water, filled the bathtub, and prepared to take a bath together.

"You won't refuse this time, will you?"

"No, I won't." Although Hanamaru Hanabi was shy, she still agreed.

After all, it wasn't the first time they showered together.
Since her feet were still bandaged and could not soak in water, Kai Uesugi let her lie on him, with her feet raised high on the edge of the bathtub.

Under the soft and warm light, the girl's raised legs are graceful and slender, with a faint crystal light.

Kaoru Uesugi couldn't resist watching too much, but he still asked secretly:
"Do you need help?"

"No." Hanamaru Hana refused with a blushing face.

The continuous rain outside the house mixed with the sound of water droplets in the bathroom, sometimes approaching and sometimes far away.

The next morning, it was sunny after the rain.

Kai Uesugi, a university student at Tokyo, missed class again.

It wasn't that he wanted to do this on purpose, but because the May Festival was approaching, most of the time was set aside for the students themselves.

At this time, I went to school and didn't have any classes.

He was lying on the bed and sleeping, and he didn't realize that a little guy crawled on his face, and his feet kept stomping on his chest.

"Sister ~ sister ~ sister ~"

Uesugi Kai who was sleeping suddenly felt that his face was being pulled and hurt, and his chest was heavy.

The pain forced him to wake up from the dream ravaged by bad fireworks.

"Sister~" When Hanamaru saw him wake up, the weight of her entire body was on his chest.

"It's brother."

Uesugi Kai opened his eyes, and found a pair of big purple eyes looking at him, the light in the pupils glowed with curiosity and joy.

He hugged the little guy Hanamaru Hanayu away from his chest and sat up on the bed.

Mrs. Hanamaru stood at the door and smiled at him: "Don't you have to go to school today? You haven't woken up so late."

Uesugi Kai lifted his sister-in-law up so that she couldn't catch his face—to be honest, a one-year-old child is really strong.

The sister-in-law is the tool the mother-in-law sent to wake her up.

It's really annoying, it disturbs the dream, the flower in the dream is obviously forcing myself.
Kai Uesugi turned his head to look at the pillow, and found that Hanabi was not there.

It's strange that I got up earlier than him today.

"There are no classes at Dongdae University these days, so it's very relaxing."

"I heard from Huahuo that you are going to perform on stage, can your mother and I come?"

"Yes, the campus will be open on the days of the May Festival."

It would be better to say that Dongda University is open all day long. He often sees some children who come here to play and people who walk their dogs in the afternoon.

Kaoru Uesugi supported his sister-in-law's upper body, the body temperature of the child was higher, at least he could feel Huayu's hot body temperature through a layer of clothes.

She also has a milky smell on her body.

Babbling and yelling "sister, kiss" and the like.

Mrs. Hanamaru smiled kindly and said, "I don't know why, Huayu always calls you sister."

Listening to what his mother-in-law said, Kai Uesugi didn't pay attention, and was taken advantage of by his sister-in-law, who grabbed her face.

My little hand hurts a bit.

"Hiss, it's probably because I haven't learned the word brother yet."

Mrs. Hanamaru said, "Huayu will tell, maybe you are so handsome, Xiaokai?"

"Is there any connection between the word handsome and sister?"

"It has nothing to do with it, but because of the relationship between Huahuo, they are all in the category of good-looking. For Huayu, calling your sister should be because she thinks you are good-looking."

Uesugi Kai took the hand of his sister-in-law, her hand was very small, very soft, and felt like a child's intimacy.

The childish voice with a baby voice and those innocent purple eyes are especially lovely.

Looking at his cute and mischievous sister-in-law, his thoughts suddenly drifted to the future, and his voice became a little trance:

"Auntie, how does it feel to raise a child?"

Mrs. Hanamaru: "Want to have a baby?"

"I don't know." Kaoru Uesugi hugged Hanamaru Hanayu, who had climbed far away, in front of him again, "But... it feels like home."

"This kind of feeling is called warmth." Mrs. Hanamaru said, "From a long time ago, I can see that you have the meaning of longing for an ordinary life. What is the feeling of getting along with Huahuo all these years?"

"It's warm and quiet. She never troubles me. She wants to do the best for me in everything, and she will always take care of me."

Mrs. Hanamaru saw how he recalled, smiled and said, "Xiao Kai, what I like most about you is that you never take what Hanabi does for granted.

"Between you, family affection is greater than love. For more than ten years, I believe that the freshness you can get from Huahuo has become very rare."

Uesugi Kai: "I understand, but because of this... I don't want her to leave my side."

Mrs. Hanamaru: "It sounds a bit selfish, but your selfishness is also the selfishness she expects. At least your actions let her understand that you care about her."

"In a few months, you will get married."

Are you married?

Kaoru Uesugi grabbed the little tail behind Hanamaru Hana's clothes. She tried hard for a long time, but she couldn't crawl out for half a minute.

In any case, meeting her in this life is already the happiest thing.

Mrs. Hanamaru and Mrs. Uesugi came here together to see their new house.

Uesugi Shinko and Hanamaru Hanayu, the two little guys who were not weaned, also followed.

Mrs. Uesugi helped make breakfast, and Hanamaru Hanabi, who got up earlier, was feeding Uesugi Kokoro in the living room.

When Kai Uesugi went out of the bedroom to see her, he felt like a mother for no reason.

No, Xiao Huahuo is only 17 years old.

Having a baby must have been a lot for Hanabi, and he wasn't sure if he wanted a baby.

Pregnant in October, it is also a very, very hard thing to think about.

In other words, he was reluctant for her to have a child, and worried that she would be affected by it.

While his mother and Mrs. Hanamaru were helping to make breakfast in the kitchen, Kai Uesugi sat beside Hanamaru Hanabi with a guitar.

My younger sister sucked in her arms very comfortably.

"Thank you, do you want me to play a song for you?"

Hanamaru Hanabi felt that his state was a bit strange, "Kai-kun, what's wrong?"

Kaoru Uesugi put down the guitar and said to her: "Do you feel that time flies so fast that we are going to get married soon?"

"Um"

"Do you want us to have a baby together?"

Hanamaru Hanabi didn't dare to look at him, and said with a shy face, "Kai-kun has the final say on such matters."

"One more thing, I don't want you to change your surname when you get married."

"But... if you don't change your surname, you won't be able to get married."

In Japan, except for foreigners and royal families, ordinary couples can only have the same surname.

"I can take your last name."

"If Mr. Kai does this, the meaning of not changing the surname of Huahuo will be gone."

Kai Uesugi wanted to treat her better, and also wanted to keep her special in this world, "Hanabi's name is very meaningful to me, and I don't want it to disappear suddenly after we get married."

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at him: "Kai-kun's name is the same for Hanabi."

"It's time to eat." Mrs. Hanamaru, who brought out breakfast from the kitchen, called to the two on the sofa.

Breakfast suffers from the lack of rich ingredients at home. It is very simple, just miso soup and eggs.

"What were you talking about just now?"

"The issue of changing your surname."

"Change your surname," Mrs. Hanamaru looked across the two faces, "Do you know what my previous name was?"

Hanabi may know, but Kai Uesugi really doesn't know.

"Haga Mieko." Mrs. Hanamaru said, "Dad used to plan to have my surname, but his father didn't want to."
