CHAPTER 486: CHAPTER 336: DAILY SWEETNESS_2

Her sleeping posture wasn’t as graceful as her smiling face, but there was a charm to it.

The cool breeze caused her little hand to twitch slightly, as if grasping for something.

Perhaps she was dissatisfied for not finding what she wanted, and she furrowed her brow, dazedly opening her eyes to a thin slit.

The light made her uncomfortable, and her head felt a bit fuzzy, but she still heard the sound of the door opening and saw a figure standing at the entrance.

"Is that Sakura?"

"Good morning."

Hanamaru Hanabi recognized the voice and groggily responded, "Good morning..."

"Sister, sister."

Coming to her senses, she found a very energetic little one climbing on top of her.

"Oh, it’s Hanami."

Hanamaru Hanami had just woken up and was full of energy, climbing all over her sister, and when she saw a strap on her sister’s shoulder, she stretched out her chubby hand to tug at it forcefully.

"Gyaa gyaa."

The little one seemed puzzled for a moment.

"Milk, sister needs milk~~"

Still in a sleepy haze, Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t notice her sister’s actions, only hearing her voice.

"Didn’t Sakura feed Hanami?"

Uesugi Sakura noticed the little sister-in-law tugging at what she shouldn’t and couldn’t help but laugh, "She just woke up, hasn’t been fed yet."

Hanamaru Hanabi slowly lowered her head, "Hanami, sister—ah!!"

Uesugi Sakura hurriedly went over to scoop the little sister-in-law away, and she still reached out her hands in mid-air asking her sister for milk.

Uesugi Sakura, trying to stifle his laughter, said to the clueless little sister-in-law, "Hanami, your sister doesn’t have milk to give you."

Hanamaru Hanami looked at his face, checked him over, then laughed heartily again, burying her head in his embrace to cuddle.

Hanamaru Hanabi’s cheeks were flushed red, with one hand holding on to the strap that had slipped off her shoulder, evidently just pulled back up.

"Sakura, did you see everything just now?"

"Yeah, I did."

"How, how can this..." Hanamaru Hanabi quickly pulled up the blanket, tightly curling her body inside.

Just as Uesugi Sakura was about to speak, muffled sounds came from the blanket.

"Sakura, Sakura, please go out first."

"But don’t forget to come out for breakfast, okay?"

"Mm... okay!"

Carrying the little sister-in-law who wanted milk downstairs, the two ladies were busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Milk, sister, milk~"

"It’s brother, sister doesn’t have milk."

In the kitchen, while chopping vegetables, Hanamaru’s mom glanced at Uesugi Sakura who had just come down the stairs:

"Where’s Hanabi?"

Uesugi Sakura had no choice but to hold Hanamaru Hanami towards his mother-in-law, "She just climbed over her sister, pulled down her sister’s nightgown, and took a bite. She’s too embarrassed to come down now."

The two busy ladies in the kitchen exchanged a knowing smile.

"Hahaha, so naughty."

Uesugi Sakura teased Hanamaru Hanami, "You can’t blame her, she was just hungry."

"Gyaa gyaa."

"The milk powder is on the table in the living room," Hanamaru’s mom said with a smile.

Following Hanamaru’s mom’s instructions, Uesugi Sakura spent a few minutes making milk for Hanamaru Hanami.

The little one was indeed very hungry. While he was making the milk, she couldn’t stop reaching out for the bottle in his arms.

Hanamaru Hanabi came downstairs, dressed in her usual home attire, a T-shirt with a shark on it.

Seeing her sister drinking milk, her cheeks blushed involuntarily, and she instinctively put both hands over her chest.

The little one saw her and called out, "Sister, sister."

Hanamaru Hanabi sat beside Uesugi Sakura, and after finishing the milk, the little one immediately climbed onto her.

Since she couldn’t stand steadily, Hanamaru Hanabi had to hold her.

The little one really liked to snuggle with her sister, rubbing her head against her chest.

Uesugi Sakura felt a bit envious; being so mischievous could be this easy.

"Wants to drink milk~~"

Hearing the little one’s call, Uesugi Sakura fed her the remaining bit of milk.

But Hanamaru Hanami didn’t drink.

"Drink milk." Hanamaru Hanami looked up at the blushing face of Hanamaru Hanabi, her eyes full of a child’s innocence.

Hanamaru Hanabi blushed again, this time as if she had a high fever:

"Sister doesn’t have... mommy does..."

"She wants you to feed her." Uesugi Sakura handed the bottle to Hanabi.

Once her sister started feeding her, the little one finally quieted down.

Hanamaru Hanabi focused her attention on Uesugi Sakura, softly speaking, "Sakura... you saw it just now..."

"Touched it once or twice... seeing it isn’t much of a big deal, right..."

Uesugi Sakura smiled, "Isn’t it... cute?"

"C-cute...?"

So strange, so very strange.

"But... but..."

Shy Hanamaru Hanabi hesitated for a long time, then awkwardly gave a reason, saying in a small voice, "But Hanabi isn’t married yet..."

"You mean after marriage I can look?"

"Mm..."

"What if I see it beforehand?"

"Hanabi... will dislike Sakura!"

"But you’re not disliking me now."

Hanamaru Hanabi immediately remembered his teasing smile after seeing it earlier, and with her eyes closed, exclaimed:

"Dislike, dislike, dislike, dislike."

The girl’s voice was both soft and sweet; no matter how many times she angrily said ’dislike’, to Uesugi Sakura, it all sounded sweet.

He smiled and said, "You can’t blame me, it was Hanami’s doing."

"Sakura brought Hanami over."

"So, you’re blaming everything on me, right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi hesitated a bit, but after a moment she said, "Yes."

"Alright then, since it’s my mistake, tell me how I can make it up to you, I’ll correct my wrongs and make you happy."

"Massage my shoulders."

"Okay."

"And give me a back massage."

"Okay."

"No touching me around at night."

Uesugi Sakura hesitated for a moment and then laughed, "Okay, anything else?"

Hanamaru Hanabi thought for a moment and also chuckled, "No more."

"You have so few requests."

"Hanabi thinks... that’s enough."

"So did I really make a mistake?"

"That’s enough too."

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll bully you?"

"I’m not afraid."

In her presence, in front of her, Uesugi Sakura truly felt what happiness was.

"Do you know what I’m thinking right now?"

"What?"

"To grab you onto the bed, tickle you, and then when you’re laughing uncontrollably, plant a big kiss on you."

Hanamaru Hanabi, imagining his description, felt shy too: "Sakura, why do you always think about kissing..."

"Hmph, I don’t like kissing other girls. Do you think I’m handsome?"

"Handsome."

"This handsome face only wants to kiss you, Hanabi isn’t happy with that?"

She thought he would call himself narcissistic, but unexpectedly, the girl smiled again, her face as beautiful as a lily blooming at dawn:

"Happy."

Uesugi Sakura heard it, saw it, and time seemed to stand still right then.

Their eyes met, reflecting only affection in them.

Hanamaru Hanami looked left and right from her sister’s embrace, her little not-so-smart head still unable to grasp what the two were looking at.

But that’s the feeling of love, such a harmonious and understanding gaze.

Uesugi Sakura was the first to look away, "Let’s get ready for breakfast."

"Sakura." Facing him after the gaze, Hanamaru Hanabi felt a bit embarrassed, stopping him from getting up from the sofa.

"What’s up."

"Do you want to watch a movie together?"

"Is that an invitation from Hanabi for a date?"

"Mm... just like how Sakura only kisses Hanabi, Hanabi also only wants to watch a movie with Sakura."

Uesugi Sakura chuckled, "Little Hanabi has become brave; I wonder how many of your cute moments others will remember in the future."

"As long as Sakura remembers, that’s enough."

An inexplicable emotion welled up inside, as if he had seen her as a child.

"Little Hanabi really... just a casual sentence can move me..."

"...Really?"

"Indeed, of course, it’s because of your simplicity that makes me feel these ordinary days will become even more joyful..."

The remaining words got stuck in his throat, Uesugi Sakura tried hard to swallow them down, and then smiled again at the childhood friend in front of him:

"Let’s go, have breakfast first, life goes on, day by day."

...

...

...

"What is it?"

Hanamaru Hanabi continued to smile brightly as ever: "Sakura, Hanabi thinks, that line would be beautiful at the end of a novel."

"Really?"

"Mm."

Hanamaru Hanabi reached out and held his offered hand, the sunlight filtering through the living room, the familiar feeling... already clear in her heart.
