In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 66 Running Against the Night Wind
The night wind blowing brought a touch of coolness.

Uesugi Kai catered to the cool wind, and followed closely behind Hanamaru Hanabi and Ayaka Riei.

Looking at their black sailor suits illuminated by the street lights, Kai Uesugi recalled the time he had spent in the past few days.

He suddenly felt that such a fulfilling day was also extremely interesting.

In the past few days, Ayaka Riei's attitude towards Uesugi Kai has improved, but she is still herself after all, and her personality remains unchanged.

Moreover, she seems to have discovered something recently.

Ayaka Riei glanced secretly at Uesugi Kai behind, and whispered to Hanamaru Hanabi who was holding a shoulder bag with both hands:
"Hua Huo Jiang, why have you been peeking at Uesugi lately?"

"No," Hanamaru Hanabi's heart tightened.

"You—" Ayaka Riei approached, narrowing her eyes, "Could you be really dating Uesugi?"

"I do not have"

Hanamaru Hanabi responded weakly, with an extremely low voice.

Ayaka Riei approached her face and sniffed, and the scent of lilies wafted from her fair neck.

Nose left her side contentedly, Ayaka Riei looked at her slightly flushed pretty face, and frowned:

"lie."

The tone was firm, as if Holmes was explaining to Watson the clues he had.

"Yes, sorry"

Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't control her blushing and heartbeat, she knew that if she continued to lie, she would be exposed by Ayaka Riei.

Ayaka Riei has seen many small details in the past few days, and this is the third time she has asked her this question in the past few days.

"So, are you really dating Uesugi?" Ayaka Riei glanced back at Uesugi who had already noticed the two, and continued to ask.

Hanamaru Hanabi's face was hot, and she nodded in response, "Yeah."

Oh, sure enough.

Ayaka Riei looked at her, carefully guarding against Uesugi Kai who was about to eavesdrop behind her, and whispered to her ear with a voice only for the two of them to hear: "Can you tell me what it feels like to be in love?"

The breath of Ayaka Riei's words blew into Hanamaru Hanabi's sensitive ears, and she was shocked all over, her body was numb like an electric shock, and then she shook her head blushing and red ears.

This is not only a subconscious reaction of the body, but also a subconscious answer to Ayaka Riei's question in the heart.

"Hanabi. Hanabi doesn't know."

The violent reaction of Hanamaru Hanabi naturally attracted the attention of Uesugi Kai from behind, but he had no chance to get close under the watchful eyes of Ayaka Riei.

"really do not know?"

Ayaka Liying continued to ask in a low voice, "You always look at him secretly, absent-mindedly, are you being led away by his shadow every day?"

"No, no."

"Aren't you two childhood sweethearts?"

"Um"

"You won't get tired of being together every day?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head.

"I can't understand."

Ayaka Riei looked at her shy face in confusion, in her opinion, friendship like this kind of playmate who grew up was more suitable than so-called love.

After all, they are already familiar with each other and every reaction of the other party, and the freshness is lost, so it is difficult for the relationship between the two to develop further.

I can't see you when you look up. After so many years, you really don't get tired of it?
Ayaka Liying thought about it for a long time.

Finally, looking at Hanamaru Hanabi who was completely hopeless, he sighed:

"That guy Uesugi really tamed Hanako-chan completely."

The night sky in Tokyo is always blue with the highest density. The stars are floating in the night sea, and the leaves swaying in the wind are rustling. In this quiet night, it is embellished with the beauty of nature.

This quiet residential area surrounded by cherry blossoms is the place where Kai Uesugi and Hanamaru Hanabi grew up.

The two walked on the quiet path home, surrounded by familiar scenes.

Spending cherry trees, wooden fences, cluttered wires, and bright yellow street lamps
Some things have changed over time and disappeared, but what still exists is the feeling of walking here together since childhood.

Walk slowly on this trail full of cherry-colored petals.

Hanamaru Hanabi stepped out of the small round-toed leather shoes on her feet, and walked with even steps, the figure under the street lamp and the shadow beside her stretched and shortened together.

Footsteps, clear and bright.

"Fireworks."

For some reason, Kai Uesugi wanted to call out the girl's name at this time, even though he didn't know what to say at this time.

"Ah."

After Hanamaru Hanabi quickly agreed, the quiet air emerged again.

Kai Uesugi couldn't find what to say next, and Hanamaru Hanabi was also silent alone.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

Uesugi Kaoru tried hard to find a topic in his mind, pondered for a while and said:

"Ayaka-san already knows about the matter between us, right?"

At this time, Uesugi Kai actually wanted to thank Ayaka Riei.

Hearing this sentence, Hanamaru Hanabi's heart filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Kai-kun," she said with her head bowed, "Hanabi failed to keep the secret."

Again.

Uesugi Kai sighed in his heart and looked at her reproachfully: "Little fool, didn't I say that you don't need to say sorry to me?"

"sorry"

Hanamaru Hanabi said something subconsciously again, but she suddenly reacted, quickly covered her mouth, and looked nervously at Uesugi Kai.

In the trembling eyes, a faint brilliance flowed, as if they were also saying the words "I'm sorry".

Her appearance made Uesugi Kaoru smile again.

He moved the schoolbag on his shoulder to a more comfortable position: "Forget it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I accept it, Huahuo's heart will be more comfortable?"

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded slightly, agreeing with what Uesugi Kai said.

"That's right," Uesugi Kai looked forward, "Hanabi has such a character, and it is this kind of Hanabi that makes her so cute."

Uesugi Kai smiled and faced her, the gentle and familiar face made her heart beat endlessly:

"Right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi pursed her lips, and tentatively asked:
"Does Kaito-kun like this kind of fireworks?"

"Like it."

Kai Uesugi replied immediately without hesitation, staring closely at her beautiful eyes, "Hanabi has always looked the same in my eyes."

same look.
Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly recalled the question Ayaka Riei asked her before, and asked with some fear:

"It's been so long, Kai-kun won't be impatient with such Hanabi? Hanabi has always been useless."

Uesugi Kai was stunned, then smiled and said, "You idiot is talking stupid things again."

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her little head:
"I don't need to explain these things, Huahuo will know later."

"Um"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked down at her little hand, although she didn't know why Kai Uesugi said that, but she could only feel the feeling of her head being rubbed lightly.

Touching her well-behaved head Uesugi Kai continued to smile at her and said, "Let's go quickly, uncle and aunt are still at home waiting for the two of us to go back for dinner."

After speaking, he directly held the little hand that was at a loss.

"Kai-kun!?"

"Follow me!"

Uesugi Kai smiled slightly, pulled her, pulled her right hand, and moved his legs forward.

"Ou, Ou-kun!"

Hanamaru Hanabi's slender body was pulled forward by him, her steps staggered, and the shoulder bag held by her left hand was thrown backwards.

The panicked expression, the pleated skirt fluttering in the wind, and the small black leather shoes made a chaotic sound.

"Follow!"

Kaoru Uesugi looked back at her, smiling warmly.

Hanamaru Hanabi felt the smile in front of her, felt the night wind whizzing past her face, and felt the temperature from her right hand.

Gradually, he took his own steps.

She started to run hand in hand with the person who was holding her tightly in front of her in this quiet path.

Under the beautiful night, the anxious figures of the two set off countless cherry-colored petals floating under their feet.
